70th Birthday Card Using Fine Art Floral Suite

 I needed a 70th Birthday Card today for a lady who loves flowers, especially red ones and the first thing that came to mind was the beautiful Poppy Parade coloured blooms from the Fine Art Floral Suite. I had a sheet of the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate all lined up with one of the beautiful floral designs in Poppy Parade, so I just needed to make sure they were still aligned properly and then cut a 4" x 5 1/4" panel for the card front for my Poppy Parade card base.

I almost had my card right there! To find out what else I did with it, read on:

• I stamped one of the smaller floral design from the Art Gallery stamp set that is part of this suite on some Basic White cardstock with Poppy Parade and Old Olive for the leaves (which die cutting basically eliminated).
• I did the second step of the 2 Step Stamping using Versamark and added Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set it.
• Using the Family Party stamp set I stamped the "70th" in Versamark ink and heat embossed it in Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and did the same with the sentiment from Butterfly Wishes.
• I die cut the whole thing with the largest label from the Tasteful Labels dies. (Yes, I used it again! It's becoming my most used die set very rapidly!!) and die cut the same shape in Poppy Parade cardstock to use behind as a backing. I just cut it in half horizontally and adhered each half separately to the top and bottom of the label.
• My embellishment is a bow in the gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack.

It's quick but classy looking and one that anyone could put together easily, thanks to the beautiful DSP and Acetate overlay.

Heal Your Heart Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek

 Without a doubt, there are some beautiful designs coming up in the 2021 Jan/Jun Mini Catalogue! Today I want to give you a sneak peek of a beautiful Designer Series Paper called *Fine Art Floral, a matching acetate overlay called *Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate and a stamp set called *Heal Your Heart, that is actually one of the up coming Sale-A-Bration rewards. It has a gorgeous font and several heartfelt sentiments! You're going to love all of them! 

*These products are from the upcoming 2021 Jan/June Mini Catalogue and will be available to order until Jan. 5, 2021.

Let's take a closer look: 

• I just love beautiful, artistic Designer Series Paper like *Fine Art Floral. It's a must have for beginner stampers, because it makes you look so good without a lot of effort. And this set is particularly amazing because of the designs, half of which look like real floral oil paintings!
• One of the designs, which you see in the photo above aligns exactly with a design from the *Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate and together they look spectacular!
• There is a 3D Embossing Folder to go with this suite called the *Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and the result of the embossing looks like a gessoed canvas or oil paint brush strokes. I've used it on the Poppy Parade card base front.
• The beautiful font of the stamp set works perfectly with this suite, even though it's not part of it. It's a set called *Heal the Heart and it's one of the rewards from the new Sale-A-Bration Brochure. Sale-A-Bration begins in January and goes only until the end of February this year, but the good news is that there will be another one in July and August! How awesome is that!!
• The Stitched So Sweetly Dies were used to die cut the sentiment, which was stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.
• So, in summary, all you really need to make a beautiful card is some of this gorgeous DSP and an eye-catching sentiment! How easy is that?

*These products are from the upcoming 2021 Jan/June Mini Catalogue and will be available to order until Jan. 5, 2021.
