Prized Peony

Posted on April 21, 2021 by Susan Horr

Stampin Up Prized Peony

I am still on my kick to use my Designer Series Paper that I purchased this past year. Of course, there is no way I am going to use it all up but I am making a dent in it. The DSP I used on this card is called Peony Garden. It is so soft and beautiful. The colors are Basic Gray, Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Whisper White (now called Basic White). It has great flower designs on one side and beautiful patterns on the other.

This card was very simple to make. I first stamped the flower in Petal Pink ink on Basic White card stock using the Prized Peony stamp set and then cut it out using the coordinated Peony Dies. I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered that to a Basic White card base. Then I cut a piece of the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper that was 4.25″ x 4.25″ and cut the top at a slant. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set called Good Morning Magnolia in Gray Granite ink on a piece of Petal Pink card stock and then adhered that on top of the DSP and Basic White piece to cover the seam.

This card was very simple to make but looks very elegant to me. Prized Peony and the coordinating Peony dies will be carrying over into the new catalog. Unfortunately, Good Morning Magnolia is retiring as so is the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper. If you love those products as much as I do, you need t order them by May 3rd when they will be gone for good.

Flowering Blooms

Posted on July 3, 2020 by Susan Horr

It is Bonus Days!! For every $50 you spend during the month of July you earn a $5 coupon towards your August purchases. Purchase $50 and you get one coupon. Purchase $100 and you get two! There is no limit as to how many coupons you can earn! The only requirement is an email address. That is how they send you your Bonus Coupon codes so make sure you keep it until you can use it in August.

Flowering Blooms is a new stamp set that is part of a new bundle in the 2020/2021 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog. This stamp set has matching dies called Flowering Dies. I have a small confession to make. I totally forgot it had matching dies until right now while I am writing this post. It is ok though. I still love how this card came out even if it is simple. It is actually a card that a beginner stamper can make with just ink, paper and stamps. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have this particular stamp set. You can use any stamp you have on hand.

Flowering Blooms is a DisINKtive Stamp set that was patented by Stampin’ Up! They are specially made stamps that create different opacities in a single stamp that give the image the look of a two-step stamp. It makes the image look a little 3D.

To make this card, I first stamped the flower in Seaside Spray Ink on Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Gray granite ink. The sentiment is from the stamp set called Good Morning Magnolia. I love the font in this set. The Designer Series Paper is called Peony Garden and has just beautiful and soft designs included in it.

Seaside Spray

Gray Granite

Whisper White

Last October we had a huge wind storm here in Northern New York. It knocked down trees and caused major flooding on the lakeshores. We lost our dock in this storm. It actually got lifted by the surge of water and deposited on a dock two houses down! We decided we had to do something different with our dock situation so we had the old one totally ripped out, the seawall rebuilt stronger and higher and we added temporary docks that can be pulled out every winter so we didn’t have to worry about them anymore. We finally finished this project in full last week.

The kids gave Rob the flag and flagpole for Christmas so adding that was the last step. We should be pretty safe if another storm happens again (hopefully not).

Good Morning Magnolia

Posted on April 8, 2020 by Susan Horr

Today is my mother’s 95th birthday. Not only is she 95 but she is healthy and lives (fairly) independently. By fairly I mean she lives in a little cottage by herself in an independent living facility. She is the queen of the place and everyone knows her. She is truly amazing. I thought this card was appropriate for her because she is like a rainbow of color wherever she goes.

To make this card I first stamped the background using the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set in Memento Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Then I took different colored scraps and cut pieces that are 1/2″ wide. The colors I used are Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point and Gorgeous Grape. I just realized I used every color in the Brights family except Melon Mambo! I adhered these strips to a piece of Whisper White cardstock and then cut it out using a die from the Stitched Rectangles set. I popped this up using Dimensionals.

Lastly, I cut the word Happy from the Merry Christmas die set in Basic Black and stamped the worth birthday from the stamp set called A Wish For Everything.

Happy Birthday, Mom! I hope your day is as great as you are!

A Card from A Friend

Posted on October 28, 2019 by Susan Horr

I received this card in the mail from Buffy the other day. Buffy and I do ribbon shares when a new catalog comes out and she was sending me some ribbon she had purchased. Whenever Buffy sends me anything, she always include a card. Not just a card. She always sends a beautiful card! The fun thing about about this card is it is a fun fold card.

When you first begin to open it, it looks like this:

Then you open it all the way and it looks like this:

Isn’t that fun? That is why they call them fun fold cards!

Buffy used the Magnolia Lane Suite to make this card. I can’t really tell you the order she used but I can tell you about the products. The stamp set is called Good Morning Magnolia. This set has matching dies called Magnolia Memory and you can save 10% by purchasing them in a Bundle. The Suite also includes the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. It is gorgeous paper (as you can see from her card). I love how she split it on the side and folded the edges back so you can see both sides of the paper. Then she added the gorgeous flower and leaves she cut out using the Magnolia Memory dies.

Another fun thing Buffy did with this card is to use the new Shimmer White Stampin Emboss Powder on the sentiment. This embossing powder has flecks of glitter in it so it sparkles and shines. I love it!

On the inside of the card, Buffy stamped the large Magnolia flower and a couple of the smaller ones and colored them using her Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow Blends.

Another great part of this whole surprise was she used a Post-It Note to write inside the card so I could peel it off and use the card again. It is a great way to recycle cards!

Thank you, Buffy for your beautiful card AND the gorgeous ribbon!

I backed that with a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock that I had cut out using the Layering Circles dies and adhered that to the card.

Good Morning Magnolia

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Susan Horr

Good Morning Magnolia is such a beautiful stamp set that is in the Stampin’ Up!® 2019/2020 Annual Catalog. The images are so beautiful and elegant. The set is part of the Magnolia Lane Suite. It has matching dies called Magnolia Memory, Designer Series Paper, ribbon, embellishments and a Memory & More Card Pack. One of the nice things about this set. It can be used for sympathy, thanks and thinking of you cards.

To make this card I first stamped the flowers in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then colors them using the Light and Dark Petal Pink and Mint Macaron Blends. I stamped the sentiment on Mint Macaron cardstock and cut it out using the Story Label Punch. I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Stitched Rectangle dies and layered everything a Petal Pink card base.

Good Morning Magnolia Shadow Box

Posted on August 14, 2019 by Susan Horr

This is one of the projects we made at my stamp class last week. It is a shadow box made with various Stampin’ Up!® products. You can buy the frame at Amazon or any other place that sells frames.

To make this I used the stamp set called Good Morning Magnolia and the matching dies called Magnolia Morning. You can buy both of those items in a Bundle and save 10%. The word “home” was cut out with the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies. I love the font of these dies. The Designer Series Paper I used is called Magnolia Lane.

The dimensions of this shadow box insert are as follows:

DSP background – 8″ x 8″

Petal Pink background is 7″ x 7″

Mossy Meadow background is 6.75″ x 6.75″

The Petal Pink behind the larger Magnolia flower is 4 1/8″ x 4 3/8″ and the Whisper White is 4″ x 4.25″

Each of the little squares are 2′ x 2″ ({Petal Pink) and 1 7/8″ x 1 7/8″ (DSP)

The “home: rectangle is 2″ x 4″ (Petal Pink) and 1 7/8″ x 3 7/8” (DSP

I used Dark and Light Petal Pink Blends to color the flowers and Dark & Light Mossy Meadow Blends to color the leaves.

PS: I am not sure why it looks crooked in the photo but in real life it is straight. A Photographer, I am not!

Good Morning Magnolia

Posted on July 31, 2019 by Susan Horr

Monday I showed you a card using a colored background with a pop of white. Today I am doing the opposite. As you can see, this card is white with a pop of color! I can’t decide which I like better. I just love them both!

This card was very simple to make. I stamped the flower and leaves from Good Morning Magnolia and cut them out using the matching dies called Magnolia Memory. You can save 10% by purchasing them both in a Bundle. I colored them using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is from the stamp set called Here’s A Card. This stamp set is a must have. It covers just about every occasion and has a beautiful, elegant font. The are sentiments for the outside of a card as well as the inside.
