Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone doing today? Did anyone do anything fun yesterday? Does anyone have plans for today? I’m going into work just to relieve my cashiers so they can take a lunch break. I’m hoping to only be there for an hour or 2 at the most.
When I buy my stamp sets and accessories, I rarely by a whole suite. There is always something that I’m sure I won’t use. That’s NOT the case with the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I’ve bought quite a few of the Suites this time around. This catalog is just so awesome. For today’s card I’ve used a little of everything from the Peony Garden Suite. My card was inspired by my neighbors flowers. When I walk out my side door he has these beautiful flowers. I just figured out what they were. Here’s what I walk out to everyday (he doesn’t live this close, I zoomed in).
Here is my card inspired by these flowers.
I started by cutting the sides of a Just Jade card front using the Peony Dies. There is a border die in the set that is absolutely gorgeous. I then embossed a smaller panel of Just Jade cardstock using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Magenta Madness mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a Square Vellum Doilie to the embossed panel using a couple tiny drops of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the top of the vellum. I adhered the matted DSP on top of the doilie using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the large peony image from the Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image in using my Just Jade and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut the image out using my Peony Dies. I adhered a piece of the Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon to the card front DSP using Glue Dots. I adhered the cut peony image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Elegant Faceted Gems.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Prized Peony stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the medium peony image from the Prized Peony stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink, stamping off twice, over the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Magenta Madness mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small peony image from the Prized Peony stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image in using my Just Jade and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Peony Garden DSP 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!!

This is the first time I’ve seen one of the square doilies used and you used it perfectly! It adds an extra “oooh” to an already beautiful card. Your neighbor probably doesn’t realize his peonies are Magenta Madness but we know they are! 😉

Thank you Susan 🙂 I wasn’t sure I was going to use the doilies, but now that I did I see myself using them more.
No he doesn’t and that was the 1st thing I thought when I saw them this year.
