Retiring Botanical Print Product Medley – On Sale

Stampin Up Botanical Prints Product Medley Thinking of You card idea -Rosanne Mulhern stampinup

You probably already know and many have already seen the retirement list that was published yesterday.  If not, they’re linked below.  One of the surprises that I found was the Botanical Print Product Medley.  I wasn’t surprised it was on the list, since it appeared in the Jan-June Mini catalog and most of the kits are going away.  It was the deep discount it’s being offered at that surprised me!  This kit retailed for $70 in the catalog and is now 40% off at $42.00.  I absolutely LOVED the Designer Series Paper and to be honest, that’s the reason I bought the kit (at $70!).  However, upon receiving it and seeing all the possibilities, I’m really glad I did…even at full price!  If you’re looking for a complete kit, this one is IT!  It includes everything you see here…

Botanical Prints Product Medley
#151301 $42.00

I don’t purchase many kits, but there have been a few that I’ve really gotten my money’s worth from and this is definitely one of them.  I’ve created note card sets to give away, a set of all occasion cards for myself and another to give to an elderly friend.  I altered some of the paper by coloring it.  After all I’ve created with this kit, I still have a lot of paper and embellishments left.  I’ll also have the stamps and dies to keep creating with long after I’ve used up the paper and embellishments. I’m even thinking about creating sets of recipe cards for myself and to give as gifts.  I’ll be sure to post them when I have them made.  I also plan on creating little tags for the preserves I put up every summer.  The list just goes on and on!

The card I’m sharing today uses a lot of the elements included in this kit.  Here’s a few details:

  • I used the stamps and die cuts to stamp and cut the fruit branches. They were stamped in Smoky Slate ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends.
  • The sentiment was stamped on one of the labels that are included in the kit.
  • The banner was created by layering the intricate die cut included in the kit with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock then punching it with the Triple Banner Punch.  It measures 1 1/2″.  I cut another banner in black cardstock and matted them.
  • I glued all the pieces to the banner…no dimensionals here!

  • The inside is embellished with a strip of DSP and Basic Black cardstock along the bottom of the Whisper White cardstock.
  • I added a sentiment from the Well Said stamp set, which will be carrying over in the new annual catalog, to the bottom so I would have a lot of room to add a personal note.  Just a little different way to position a sentiment.

  • Since the DSP in this collection is 6″ x 6″, I had just the right amount leftover to use in the inside of the card as well as to embellish the front of the envelope.

…and here is the altered DSP.  I put the original and colored side by side so you can see the changes.

It was fun to see the difference the coloring made.  Not to mention, the hours of coloring relaxation I had!

IF YOU ORDER THE BOTANICAL PRINTS PRODUCT MEDLEY… You’ll receive 3 exclusive card tutorials featuring these products.  These card examples will not appear on my blog.  I’ll also send a handmade thank you card using these products that you can keep or send to someone else.

Please remember that with all items on the retirement list, this kit is only available while supplies last and  I think at a 40% discount it may go quickly.

And as always, you may also qualify for my monthly bonuses listed below.

Retiring In-Colors Note Card Set

Well today is actually an exciting day in an otherwise mundane, still isolating Wednesday.  Demonstrator’s get to see the new catalog and along with that, we’ll also see what products are retiring.  I always have mixed feelings about the retirement list.  While I love seeing all the new products, there are many favorites that will be going away.  Then there are the products that will retire which I feel that I didn’t use enough.  But I know new favorites are waiting.  So until the new catalog and retirement list reveal later today, I’ll show you a project highlighting the absolute sure to retire 2018-2020 In-Colors:  Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Lovely Lipstick and Blueberry Bushel.

I love gifting card sets, so I like to have several on hand.  Today, I created a Thank You card set featuring the In-Colors and the Daisy Lane stamp set….

Stampin Up Daisy In-Color Thank You Notes-Rosanne Mulhern stampinup

Materials & Measurements

  • The card base is a Whisper White Note Card:  5″ x 3 1/2″
  • The colored cardstock layer: 4 7/8″ x 3 3/8″
  • The Whisper White cardstock: 4 5/8″ x 3 1/8″

Details 

  • Glue the colored cardstock to the card base.
  • Emboss the Whisper White panel using the Subtle Embossing Folder.
  • Punch the large daisy with the Daisy Punch on the left side of the embossed panel.
  • Cut a piece of DSP and glue to the back of the punched daisy.

  • Stamp the small daisy 2x in each color and layer to create the center flower.
  • I used small circle punches to create the flower center.
  • These are popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin Up Daisy In-Color Thank You Note - Rosanne Mulhern stampinup

  • The sentiment, from the Well Said stamp set, is stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and cut using an oval from the Stitched Shapes dies.  It’s layered with a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals dies.

Stampin Up Daisy In-Color Thank You Notes - Rosanne Mulhern stampinup

  • I coordinated each envelope using a 3/4″ strip of DSP and 1/4″ strip of cardstock.
  • Since I plan on giving this set away, I boxed the cards in a clear card box and decorated the front much like the cards inside.  I added the 1/8″ Grosgrain ribbon and a few enamel dots as embellishments.  I adhered this panel directly to the front of the box with Tear & Tape adhesive.
  • These are the clear boxes I used HERE.

While this set makes a sweet little gift, they’re also great little notes to have on hand for yourself.  I plan on making a few more sets using other color combinations soon.

Free as a Bird Friendship Card and Gift Box

Today’s project was a result of several things. Firstly, the retirement list will be coming out this week and I know that all the Designer Series Paper will be retiring soon and I wanted to use up some of what I have.Not to mention that the Bird Ballad DSP is one of my favorites.   Secondly, I find fussy cutting extremely relaxing.  And finding that I needed some relaxation recently given our circumstances, I started cutting some of the images from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and I couldn’t stop!  So I found myself with so many flowers and birds that I just had to create a project.  And lastly, I wanted to make something to give to a few special people to let them know how special they are to me.  Here’s what I came up with…

Stampin Up Free as a Bird Friendship Card and Pizza Box Gift- Rosanne Mulhern stampinup

Materials & Measurements

Card

  • Whisper White Thick cardstock: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4
  • Cardstock Layer:  5 3/8″ x 4″
  • Whisper White cardstock:  largest Stitched Rectangle die

Pizza Box

  • Top:   colored cardstock  3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″, Whisper White cardstock 3″ x 3″
  • Sides:  colored cardstock  3/4″ x  3 1/4″ (cut 4) Whisper White cardstock 1/2″x3″ (cut 4)

Details

  • Glue the Whisper White Stitched to the colored cardstock.
  • Stamp the sentiment from the Free as a Bird stamp set with Early Espresso ink in the right corner.  The Stamparatus  makes this easy to line up and insure a clear image.
  • Adhere this to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

  • I arranged the images that were fussy cut from the Bird Ballad DSP.

  • I created a tray to hold six snack sized Hershey bars.  The tray allowed me to wrap a bow around them and it fit nicely inside the Pizza Box.

  • To coordinate the envelope, the flap is embossed with the Ornate Floral embossing folder.

Ornate Style Floral Friendship Card

Happy(finally) Friday…the first week of a new distance learning curriculum at school just finished up and it feels like it lasted three weeks.  Our schools in PA are closed for the remainder of the school year, so our students are continuing to learn online.  We even have a virtual recess!  I’m really looking forward to spending the weekend in the craft room.

I created today’s card earlier this week using the beautiful floral image from the Ornate Style stamp set.  If you’ve been following me for a while, you may have noticed that I’m particularly partial to flowers and this one really excited me.  There is so much you could do with it. You can see another card I created with it HERE.  I’m also looking forward to coloring it.

Stampin Up Ornate Garden Friendship Cards Idea - Rosanne Mulhern stampin up

Materials & Measurements 

  • Very Vanilla Thick cardstock: 11″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″
  • Gold Foil Sheet:  4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Ornate Garden DSP:  3 3/4″ x 5″
  • Old Olive cardstock: 5 1/4″ x 4″ (inside)
  • Very Vanilla cardstock: 5″ x 3 3/4″ (inside)

Details

  • Cut a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals dies from the center of the Gold Foil sheet. Set aside.  This is a great way to say paper, especially specialty paper.
  • Glue the DSP panel to the Gold Foil, leaving a 1/8″ margin on either side.
  • Wrap a piece of Old Olive ribbon, from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo around the card as pictured.  Adhere a small bow using a mini glue dot.
  • Glue this panel directly to the card base.
  • Stamp the floral image from the Ornate Style stamp set with Versa Mark ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.
  • Using another oval from the Layering Ovals dies, cut the image.  You can position the oval die any number of ways to get the partial image you like.
  • Adhere the embossed oval to the gold foil scalloped oval.  Pop onto the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The sentiment, from the Ornate Thanks stamp set, is also heat embossed in gold and punched using the Classic Label punch.  I added another label punched in gold foil.  This is also popped with dimensionals.
  • Add a Gilded Gem for a pretty finishing touch.

  • The Very Vanilla panel is embellished with 1/4″ strips of DSP and glued to the Old Olive panel before gluing to the inside of the card
  • Another DSP and gold foil strip create a coordinated envelope.

Stampin Up Ornate Garden Friendship Card Idea - Rosanne Mulhern stampin up

I’m really happy that Stampin’ Up released the Ornate Garden Suite early as I’ve been having a great time with all the products.  I don’t think I’ll tire of creating with this suite for a very long time…hopefully you won’t tire of seeing my creations!
