It’s time to use some retiring products on this Floral Essence Perennial Punch Flowers Card! I think no matter the cardstock, designer paper, or accessories, we always hate to see something retire! But it must be done to make room for wonderful new products we will also love!
May 4th is the launch date for the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog! It’s always an exciting time when a new catalog goes live! However, you won’t find this stamp set and punch in the new catalog.
This card base is Petal Pink Cardstock with a partial layer of a pattern in the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. This is a huge package of paper with different patterns of surfaces and textures. I chose the one that looks like some kind of white fabric.
The flowers are stamped with the Floral Essence Stamp Set and then punched out with the Perennial Flower Punch. The Floral Essence Stamp Set is reduced in price and the Perennial Flower Punch is more than 50% off! They are both on the Last Chance Products List. However, the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper is carrying over to the next catalog! It’s pretty rare for designer paper to continue on to the next catalog. I stamped six flowers so I could double them up to make three full flowers. They are stamped in Petal Pink Ink to match the cardstock.
Then I used the pretty Blushing Bride 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon to cover where the designer paper ends. This ribbon is in the Spring Mini Catalog so it will be around until at least the end of June. Even though it is a different pink than the cardstock, it still looks good together. I tied the bow separately and adhered it with Glue Dots.
The greeting is from the Floral Essence Stamp Set and die-cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies. It fits perfectly at the bottom of this card. To finish embellishing this card, I used Gold Glitter Enamel Dots on the flower centers.
This Floral Essence Perennial Punch Flowers Card is pretty easy to make and you can add lots of different greetings to it. Remember to purchase retiring products by May 3rd at Stampin’ Up!
