Today I’m sharing one of this month’s Stamp Club cards. I used the Prized Peony bundle (Prized Peony stamp set and Peony Dies,) Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, Square Vellum Doilies, and Elegant Faceted Gems. When I first saw the Peony Dies, I thought it must be complicated to assemble the pieces into a flower. Holy cow, was I ever wrong! The flower has four pieces. Each piece has a slit that you slip the next smaller piece into, and they all line up at the bottom. It couldn’t be easier. And what a spectacular result!

Here’s what I made:
I had to go into a different room to get the Elegant Faceted Gems to show up in a photo. They show up much better in person.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Soft Sea Foam card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- So Saffron CS layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Prized Peony stamp set:
- sentiment in Soft Sea Foam ink onto the Whisper White CS
- small peony in Petal Pink ink onto the Whisper White CS
Cut using the Peony Dies:
- the four pieces of the peony from scraps of Petal Pink CS
- center of the flower from a scrap of So Saffron CS
- both pieces of the three leaves from a scrap of Soft Sea Foam CS
Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:
- doily in Dark So Saffron
- flower centers on DSP layer in Light So Saffron
- leaves on DSP layer in Light Soft Sea Foam
- top pieces of the leaf die cuts in Light Soft Sea Foam, to make them just a little darker
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- So Saffron CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- DSP layer glued onto the So Saffron CS layer
- doily adhered onto the DSP layer using Stampin’ Seal in the center, where it will be covered by the flower
- four die cut pieces of peony put together, slipping one into the slit in next larger piece, and glued together
- flower center inserted into middle of the flower and glued in place
- leaf layers glued together, then glued onto the back of the flower
- flower and leaves adhered onto the DSP layer, over the doily, using Stampin’ Seal
- 3 Elegant Faceted Gems applied around the flower (The Take Your Pick tool makes this so easy! You can use the sticky end or the pointy end, whichever you prefer.)
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
