Today’s I’m sharing the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit. It makes 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs, and they really are, well, gorgeous. I followed the kit instructions mostly. On some of the cards, I did use different sentiments from the Timeless Tulips and the Four Season Floral stamp sets. One of my favorite things about this kit is the box it comes in. I will definitely keep it in my office to hold assorted little items.

For today’s sympathy card I used the Prized Peony stamp set and Peony Garden Designer Series Paper from the Peony Garden Suite. I used two blues (Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray) along with Gray Granite and Whisper White. I colored some Pearl Basic Jewels with a Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Marker; and I colored the stamped image in Seaside Spray, So Saffron, and Gray Granite. The white ribbon is from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, and the blue ribbon is Misty Moonlight 1/4″ twill ribbon.

I made today’s card using products from the Peony Garden Suite: Prized Peony Bundle (Prized Peony stamp set and Peony Dies,) Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, and Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon. I wanted the flower to pop, so I made it in Melon Mambo instead of the Petal Pink in the paper. And I colored 3 pearls with a Dark Black Stampin’ Blends Marker to scatter around the flower.

My card for today can be used for Christmas or really any winter occasion. I used the Peace & Joy Bundle (Peace & Joy stamp set and Joy Dies,) Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper, and Snowflake Sequins from the upcoming August – December 2020 Mini Catalog, which goes live August 4. If you’d like to order from the new Mini Catalog now instead of having to wait, click here to join.
After reading my post today, I hope you’ll hop around to all the stops. There’s so much talent in this group and you don’t want to miss any of it!

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Misty Moonlight card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Whisper White CS layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ (stripes)
- Whisper White CS layer cut to 4-1/8″ x 2-7/8″
- DSP layer cut to 4″ x 2-3/4″ (snow)
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Peace & Joy stamp set:
- HAPPY and AND in Misty Moonlight ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- BRIGHT in Misty Moonlight ink, stamped off three times, onto the 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS (I wanted it to be very light, like a watermark, so I could write over it.)
Cut using the Joy Dies:
- BRIGHT using all three dies, the middle one from a scrap of Misty Moonlight CS, and the other two from a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
Cut using Paper Snips:
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- the 3 BRIGHT die cuts glued together
- BRIGHT die cut stack, HAPPY, and AND adhered onto the smaller DSP layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- smaller DSP layer glued onto the smaller Whisper White CS layer
- smaller Whisper White CS layer glued onto the larger DSP layer
- larger DSP layer glued onto the larger Whisper White CS layer
- larger Whisper White CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- 3 Snowflake Sequins glued onto the larger DSP layer
- 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
What I would do differently:
I’m not yet used to having the new adhesives, so I forget to use them. For today’s card, I would have put the card stock for the top two BRIGHT die cuts on an Adhesive Sheet before die cutting. Then I could have just peeled off the backing to adhere the pieces, instead of gluing them. I would have put the card stock for the bottom (largest) BRIGHT die cut on a Foam Adhesive Sheet before die cutting. I also would have put the stamped sentiments on a Foam Adhesive Sheet before cutting them with Paper Snips.

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.
S
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
