Today we're creating a Thinking of You for Adults Card Using Storybook Garden Stamps & Dies.  The "Storybook" link implies a childlike orientation & the Storybook Garden Bundle is anything but childish.  

The stamp set

& die set

today's card..

The base is Very Vanilla topped with Vanilla put through the Eyelet embossing folder.

The back layer is from the Timeless Plaid Designer paper--this is a truly awesome set of papers.

The watering can & lettuce are stamped & die cut in colored cardstock. While the pots are stamped on the Vanilla rectangle allowing shading with our Blends.

The greeting is die cut from Gold Foil using the Thoughtful Moments hybrid embossing folder--this embosses & cuts out the image in a single pass.

Lastly we add a touch of class using the Textured dot-- just a perfect for our gardening card.

Stop by next week and see what new stamp set we'll be creating with then!

Here's today's card....

& a bit closer look....

Our base card is Bubble Bath cardstock with an over layer of the same color and put through the Eyelet embossing folder.

A bit of contrast is added with a vertical stripe in black and white designer paper (Lovely Garden DSP).

We stamped the hydrangea in Memento ink on white cardstock and die cut with the corresponding die. Color was added with the Bubble Bath and Summer Spash Blends...this image was simply made for having fun with the Blends.

The petitte flower centers are chucked full of glimmering rhinestones to add tons and tons of sparkle--just let yourself go when sprinkling these on!

The greeting is one of the useful verses in this set and stamped on white cardstock and slipped in slightly behind the blossom.

A touch of glamour is added with the silver/white bow.

Today we're creating with Collage Stamping using Textured Notes Bundle.  This new bundle is an Online Exclusive that includes a nested set of decorated rectangles that are lovely all in themselves. This set also coordinates beautifully with the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper which we will be using in today's creation.

Here's the stamp set...

This is the nested dies.

Here's today's creation...

& a bit closer look...

We first nestled a piece of the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper on Pecan Pie card base--the varied tones of the Pecan color in that paper is stunning on the Pecan Pie background.

The collage consists of the large & small leaf dies along iwth the "basket bottom" design peeking out from the background. Because these inks are dye inks  the darker ink will always show through. So it does not matter which ink is stamped first because the darker will always appear to be on top. So even though we stamped the background last--it appears to be behind the leaves. The larger leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow & the smaller ones in Old Olive---thus the larger leaves appear to be in front of the smaller ones...what a fun technique!

The focal point was stamped on Very Vanilla backed with a thin edge of gold foil topping the Pecan back layer.

We stamped 'thank you' in black ink on Old Olive which ties it all together.

For a bit of elegance we added the pecan Neutal Matte dots.

Stop back next week to see which Online Exclusive we'll be designing with then.

Today we're Creating with  Textured Floral Dies as the Focal Point. This set of dies coordinates with the stamp set by the same name, however, thes three dies are an awesome set of tools by themselves.

Here's the dies

Yhe three we're working with ...

Here's our card for today...

 A bit closer look...

We began with the Boho Blue card base & a layer embossed with the Birch embossing folder--a bit rustic & generic. Over this we used a small layer of Boho Blue in the 2023-2025 In Color Designer Series Paper...we chose the design that is primarily white with images in Boho so that the paper would be more striking.

We then layered our 3 greenery die cuts in the lower left. Notice we used 2 dies with Shaded Spruce cardstock & then added a bit of charm with the 3rd one die cut from Shy Shamrock glimmer paper (2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper)...now they all coordinate but there is some lovely contrast to liven it up a bit.

The white circle draws our attention & contains our greeting stamped in Boho Blue. The greeting  script is beautiful with it's rounded letters that blend well with our circle.

Tha last embellishment are the 3 large blue dots following the arc of the circle along with the 3 small blue dots scattered among the greenery adding a touch of elegance and sparkle.

Stop back next week to see which Online Exclusive we'll be designing with then.

Today we're Creating with New Stampin'Up! Online Exclusive Resourceful Rusty Stamp Set. When you're looking for a really cute set that's quick and easy to use--Resourceful Rusty is your stamp set.

Here's what the set looks like....

This is  today's creation....

This is a closer look....

We decided that our Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper is just the perfect background for today's project. Beginning with a cardbase of Crumb Cake we added a narrow border of Very Vanilla to set off the Boho/Crumb plaid for our base.

Wanting to stamp on Very Vanilla we added another narrow border of black to make the focal point pop.  The coordinating second peice of designer paper gives us a bit of contrast to the background while still remaining in that color scheme.  

Coloring was quick and easy with the Blends using Real Red, Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green, The bling is from the Neutrals  Matte Dots (another Online Exclusive product) that is a perfect match for the designer paper.

Stop back next week to see which Online Exclusive we'll be designing with then.
