Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. Does anyone have any plans for this weekend? Maybe some gardening, spring cleaning, crafting, binge watching? I’ll be working today, but I do have off tomorrow. I’m hoping to start re-organizing my craft area to get ready for some of the new things that will be coming in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. We got a sneak peek at it this week, I can’t wait till I can place my order. That’s one of the best parts of being a demonstrator, you get to order early. If anyone is interested in joining our team, drop me a line and I would be happy to help you sign up.

For today I have one more card using the Ornate Garden Suite. This was another one I was playing around with doing for my video last Saturday, but decided on a different one. I made it to use for an Anniversary, but it could easily be used for a birthday too. Here’s my card for today.

I started by coloring a panel of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper using my Light Mint Macaron, Light Night of Navy, Light Pineapple Punch and Light So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. One of the great things about 2 of the designs from this DSP pack is that you can color them any colors and any way you want.

Using the beautiful Ornate Borders Dies, I cut a panel of Night of Navy cardstock using the flower border. I adhered the colored DSP to the edge of the die cut border using Snail and then adhered it to a So Saffron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added 3 Pearl Basic Jewels in the center of the die cut flowers down the side. I love the way the Night of Navy looks on top of the So Saffron.

To pick up the gold from the DSP, using the Ornate Layers Dies, I cut a Gold Foil Sheet using the small frame. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the small flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink above and below the sentiment. I colored the images in using my Light Mint Macaron and Light Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the Gold Foil frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel . I stamped the large floral image from the Ornate Style stamp set in So Saffron Ink over the sentiment, stamping off once. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Snail and then to the inside of the So Saffron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Ornate Style stamp set across the bottom of the envelope front in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the images in using my Light Mint Macaron and Light Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP, which I had colored using my Light Mint Macaron, Light Night of Navy, Light Pineapple Punch and Light So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers, to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
