Ornate Style Birthday Card

Ornate Style Birthday Card

I think this card might be a little too bright for me even though I think I like Granny Apple Green Cardstock just fine! But today it looks very bright! But it certainly is an Ornate Style Birthday Card with all the colors, stamping, embossing, and diecutting! I just looked through the catalog to see what stamp sets I have that are retiring and which ones I want to showcase again before they are gone!

To make this card, I started by stamping the large bouquet in the Ornate Style Stamp Set, retiring May 3. I stamped it with Memento Ink and colored in with Stampin’ Blends. Just choose whatever colors you like for the flowers and leaves. Then I cut it out with Paper Snips, although I first took it to my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine thinking there was a die to cut out this bouquet! No such luck!

I did use the coordinating dies, the Ornate Layers Dies, to cut out the fancy frame to layer underneath the bouquet out of Calypso Coral Cardstock. If you want to save 10%, you can purchase the Ornate Style Stamp Set and Ornate Layers Dies together in the Ornate Style Bundle. The dies are not retiring. They will be in the new catalog!

Before I layered the cut out bouquet on the Calypso Coral die cut piece, I put some ribbon behind it winding back and forth. This ribbon now is on the Clearance Rack! It’s the All the Trimmings Combo Pack, the Old Olive ribbon with a gold edge. The bouquet is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To decorate the card front, I embossed it with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. This folder is so pretty with all the tiny flowers and leaves to provide a nice, textured background. This folder is being carried over to the new catalog so it will not be retiring like the stamp set.

For a greeting, I chose the “Birthday Wishes” from the retiring Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set. I hate that all the “Itty Bitty” stamp sets are leaving us! I could always find a greeting to use for any occasion in one of the stamp sets. But rest assured, there are a lot of greeting stamps in the new catalog as well!

Here’s another card I made with the Ornate Style Stamp Set. I just stamped and colored in the bouquet and added some sequins for some bling!

Only about another two weeks to go until the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog goes live on May 4th! Enjoy your current stamp sets and be sure to show them some love before all you want to use are your new sets!

Ornate Garden Floral Stamp With Sequins

The Ornate Garden Suite offers so many beautiful ways to make cards whether you stamp and color in the image or use the beautiful designer papers! There are two sets of die cuts you can use too, but on this card, I was going for something simpler.

A few days ago I made another card with this same floral stamp in the Ornate Style Stamp Set from the Ornate Garden Suite, but I cut it out by hand. This one is just stamped and colored in on the card front. I love coloring all the flowers with my Stampin’ Blends markers, but you can use other techniques.

The greeting on this card is from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set. This stamp set has large greetings to pair with the smaller script greetings but you can also just use some of the script greetings alone. That’s what I did on this card.

The Whisper White cardstock front layer is adhered to an Old Olive card base with the fold at the top for something different. For a little pizzazz, I added a few sequins that kind of matched the flowers and leaves.

If you want EVERYTHING that goes together in this Ornate Garden Suite Collection, just order the whole collection with one number on your order, #154153. Or you can pick and choose exactly which products you want on this order and get more on another order! This Suite will be in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog so there is no rush unless you’d like to get your hands on something brand-new while you are staying home these days!

Ornate Garden Monochromatic Floral Card

Ornate Garden Monochromatic Floral Card

If you want to stamp an EASY card, make this Ornate Garden Monochromatic Floral Card! The front of the card only uses two stamps and then a little bit of ribbon and a bow. You can’t get much easier than that! And with the beauty of just the one large floral stamp, you really don’t need much more!

The card base is Lovely Lipstick, one of the outgoing In Colors when Stampin’ Up! releases the annual retirement list. Lovely Lipstick was one of my favorite In Colors so I hate to see it go. If you want any of those colors in paper, ink or accessories, you should probably order before the retirement list comes out.

I started to stamp the floral image with the largest acrylic block, but then I thought this would be the perfect time to use my Stamparatus. If I didn’t get every area on the large stamp inked up just right or didn’t press well enough in the right place, I wouldn’t have to worry with the Stamparatus because I could just stamp again over the exact same position!

This large floral image is in the Ornate Garden Suite in the Ornate Style Stamp Set and the greeting is in the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set. You really should look at all the greetings and combinations you can make with that stamp set! You don’t always have to use the large words either. And even on the inside of the card, I stamped two of the corners with the smaller corner stamp.

If you stamp a monochromatic card, you just use and stamp one color so that makes it easy! Here’s another monochromatic Easter card I made recently.

Check out the Ornate Garden Suite and also the Clearance Rack which was just refreshed yesterday! Then try your hand at stamping a monochromatic card with whatever stamps you choose!
