Flowering Fields Tulip Thinking of You Card

Flowering-Fields-Tulips-Thinking-of-You-Card

Sad to say, this Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper is retiring soon! Get some, at a discount, so you can make easy but pretty cards like this Flowering Fields Tulip Thinking of You Card. There are so many coordinating colors with this paper so you have a lot of variety!

I actually put an extra layer on this card, under the designer paper, just because there are so many colors to use. The card base is Mango Melody with a layer of Calypso Coral. Then I used two patterns from the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper. The bottom pattern is cut at 2″ wide so that the top piece can overlap by 1/2″ before adhering to the card. I also added a narrow strip of another pattern of dark green to cover that seam. Then I decided to tie some Linen Thread around twice and tied a separate bow and added that! Then I was able to glue the whole Flowering Fields DSP to the card front!

The greeting is stamped in Mango Melody Ink on Basic White from the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set. It is very closely diecut with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies stitched circle and then layered on the next larger Mango Melody die.

On the inside, I added a Basic White layer but added a strip of designer paper to the bottom edge of the white cardstock. That carries the design to the inside plus the Basic White layer provides a place to stamp a greeting or write a personal note. You could do the same just on the Mango Melody card base but it’s a little bright!

Although the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper is retiring on June 30th, the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set and Tulips Dies have carried over into the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. However, if you want the stamp set and dies, I suggest you order the Flowering Tulips Bundle before the end of June. You will save 10% off the total price if you order the Bundle now because in the Annual Catalog the stamp set and dies are sold separately and you will pay full price for both. Note that some other products that are in Bundles that are discounted on the Last Chance Sale will be cheaper to buy separately than in the Bundle!

While you are shopping the Last Chance Products be sure to also check the Clearance Rack for bargains as long as you are ordering!

One more reminder, is that the BOGO sale on the Kits Collection ends June 30. These kits are really cute. You can buy two different kits for yourself or go in with a friend, or buy two of the same kits so you can make them with a family member or friend. Some of the kits are Card Kits and some are slightly different than cards, more like crafts. Hence, the name Crafting Kits! What a fun summer activity that would be to do with a child or someone special during summer vacation! If a Kit is not shown, it is no longer available so there will be no backorders. What you see is what you will get!

There is only a week left of the month of June, believe it or not, so keep checking the Last Chance Products from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog (Spring Mini) and the BOGO Kits Collection Sale!

Happy Shopping!

Last Two Days! Last Chance For Spring Mini!

The January-June 2021 Mini Catalog is coming to an end! I like to call it the Spring Mini Catalog! It’s always a joy to start ordering from the spring catalog right after the holidays to see and use fresh new products to start the new year! But as all good things must come to an end, this catalog’s last day will be tomorrow, Wednesday, June 30. It’s the last day to order from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog!! Some of the products carried over to the new Annual Catalog and some products are already sold out. If a product doesn’t come up in the Online Store, then it probably is sold out. If you search for a product and it doesn’t come up, put the item number in the search box, just in case the search terms aren’t working, or use the drop-down list on the left of the store website under Shop Products.

Floral Essence Flower Card

This Floral Essence Flower Card is one that I so enjoyed making on the spur of the moment with no plan! I had paged through the Stampin’ Up! catalog to refresh my memory on what stamp sets were retiring. When I came to this one, I thought maybe I owned it but I wasn’t sure! That’s likely a sign you haven’t used a stamp set very much! When I checked my stamp sets, sure enough, it was there along with the coordinating punch!

I stamped this card with the Floral Essence Stamp Set. I think it has been around since at least a year before this current year’s catalog. I feel like I must have seen someone’s stamped card that inspired me to buy the stamp set because I’m not sure that on its own I felt that inclined to buy it

As it turned out, as soon as I got it out, even though I didn’t have any idea for making a card, I just chose the largest flower and started stamping on Basic White. I did choose Melon Mambo for the card base because I like it, so I chose Melon Mambo Ink. I could have made different colors of flowers but I stuck with the Melon Mambo. I stamped the three flowers and stamped the flower centers in Daffodil Delight.

I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do next and the stamp with the stem and trio of leaves didn’t fit right to look like they were attached to the flowers. So just stamped them around the blank space in Granny Apple Green Ink, not attaching them to the flowers! Have some scrap paper underneath your cardstock so that you can stamp off the edge of your cardstock as I did so that you fill up the space better but don’t get ink all over your table!

The flowers still seemed to be floating in space without leaves, so I stamped the little leaf outline stamp around the flowers in Memento Ink. To color them in, I just used a Blender Pen to pick up the Granny Apple Green Ink. I should have really used Stazon ink if I was going to use our water-based ink but I colored carefully and lightly and it worked out fine.

For the greeting, I just chose one in the stamp set and simply stamped it right in the corner of the card! If I had messed up, I could have covered it up with a die-cut greeting, but thankfully it worked out fine!

There is something I can’t describe about the feeling of only doing stamping on a card, especially in a somewhat random pattern like I did on this Floral Essence card. The block and the stamp just feel good in my hand and every time I lift up the stamp and see the image I just stamped, it is almost magical! I do love all the dies and punches and embellishments, but I think the magic is in the actual stamping! It just feels good! Do some basic stamping and see if you agree with me!

While you are shopping in the next couple of weeks in the current catalog, don’t forget to check out the Clearance Rack. As of right now, there still are quite a few products left so you just might find a bargain you can’t live without! And of course, the Last Chance Sale is going on with the retiring stamps and other products. Some of those are real bargains, too!
