Ornate Garden So Grateful Card

Ornate Garden So Grateful Card

For this card, I was in the mood to use the paper in the Ornate Garden Suite and this Ornate Garden So Grateful Card is what turned out! This is a great all-occasion card that has a little different style than maybe you normally make. It’s also a great way to use up some smaller pieces of designer paper! Just change the greeting for a birthday or congratulations or even sympathy.

The card base is Mint Macaron, one of the coordinating colors for the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper. Some of these sheets in this collection have gold foil accents.

At first I was going to just adhere the floral strips directly to the card base, but it’s a little easier to adhere to another piece of cardstock first, whether it shows or not. I started with a Whisper White piece under the floral strips with a narrow margin showing but I wasn’t crazy about that. Then I realized Terracotta Tile, another coordinating color, very evident in these floral strips, might be perfect!

You might want to make your card pieces slightly different sizes, but here are the sizes I used:

Floral Strips 1 1/4″ x 4″, Terracotta Tile layer under strips 3 7/8″ x 4 1/8″.

For the greeting, since I was using the Ornate Garden paper, I decided to use a greeting in the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set. First I stamped it in Terracotta Tile on Whisper White but I didn’t like it. I thought it looked too bold. I changed it to Mint Macaron and I could have changed the layer to Mint Macaron but I just used the Terracotta layer.

Before adhering the layer with the paper strips, I adhered a piece of ribbon around to the back on both sides and then added a separate bow. Just use a Mini Glue Dot or two to hold the bow on the card. Often this works easier than trying to tie the bow with the ribbon on the card. This white ribbon is in the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. It looks like a linen ribbon and is very pretty with this paper.

I forgot to mention, I cut the sheet of Mint Macaron Cardstock in half lengthwise, rather than horizontally, so it is 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″. This produces a top of the card fold rather than the usual side fold. You can do it either way, it’s just something a little different!

Here’s another card I made using the Ornate Garden Suite, using one of the papers with larger flowers. You can use whichever floral pattern you are in the mood for!

Get out whatever designer paper you like or scraps you have and see if you can make a card similar to this one. Once you get started you may change the idea completely! It’s up to you! Start with my Ornate Garden So Grateful Card to possibly give you an idea and then let your own creativity take you wherever it wants to go!

Ornate Garden Floral Stamp With Sequins

The Ornate Garden Suite offers so many beautiful ways to make cards whether you stamp and color in the image or use the beautiful designer papers! There are two sets of die cuts you can use too, but on this card, I was going for something simpler.

A few days ago I made another card with this same floral stamp in the Ornate Style Stamp Set from the Ornate Garden Suite, but I cut it out by hand. This one is just stamped and colored in on the card front. I love coloring all the flowers with my Stampin’ Blends markers, but you can use other techniques.

The greeting on this card is from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set. This stamp set has large greetings to pair with the smaller script greetings but you can also just use some of the script greetings alone. That’s what I did on this card.

The Whisper White cardstock front layer is adhered to an Old Olive card base with the fold at the top for something different. For a little pizzazz, I added a few sequins that kind of matched the flowers and leaves.

Ornate Garden Monochromatic Floral Card

Ornate Garden Monochromatic Floral Card

If you want to stamp an EASY card, make this Ornate Garden Monochromatic Floral Card! The front of the card only uses two stamps and then a little bit of ribbon and a bow. You can’t get much easier than that! And with the beauty of just the one large floral stamp, you really don’t need much more!

The card base is Lovely Lipstick, one of the outgoing In Colors when Stampin’ Up! releases the annual retirement list. Lovely Lipstick was one of my favorite In Colors so I hate to see it go. If you want any of those colors in paper, ink or accessories, you should probably order before the retirement list comes out.

I started to stamp the floral image with the largest acrylic block, but then I thought this would be the perfect time to use my Stamparatus. If I didn’t get every area on the large stamp inked up just right or didn’t press well enough in the right place, I wouldn’t have to worry with the Stamparatus because I could just stamp again over the exact same position!

This large floral image is in the Ornate Garden Suite in the Ornate Style Stamp Set and the greeting is in the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set. You really should look at all the greetings and combinations you can make with that stamp set! You don’t always have to use the large words either. And even on the inside of the card, I stamped two of the corners with the smaller corner stamp.

If you stamp a monochromatic card, you just use and stamp one color so that makes it easy! Here’s another monochromatic Easter card I made recently.

Check out the Ornate Garden Suite and also the Clearance Rack which was just refreshed yesterday! Then try your hand at stamping a monochromatic card with whatever stamps you choose!
