Ornate Style for Mom and a Blog Hop

Happy Wednesday! Are you surprised to see me today? If I'm posting mid-week it can only mean one thing...it is time for another Stamping Symphony blog hop!

This month we are all about cards for Mom. In these days of social distancing it will be even more important to recognize ALL of the moms in our lives this Mother's Day. Check out this super clean and simple card I made using the Ornate Style stamp set...

I wanted this card to be all about that gorgeous floral image, so I kept it super clean. I first stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock. Then, using Stampin' Blends, I coloured the image. You can check out the supply list below for all of the colours I used. I also added some shimmer using Wink of Stella (my guilty pleasure!)

I die-cut the coloured image using the Stitched Rectangles dies...I love that there is stitching detail on both the die-cut and the negative...it makes for an easy frame for this image...no layering required!
I layered both pieces on a Mint Macaron card stock base, adding some soft and pretty Mint Macaron ribbon and a few Gilded Gems. The sentiment is from the coordinating Ornate Thanks stamp set, is stamped in black ink and punched using the Classic Label punch.

On the inside, I added a Whisper White card stock panel on which I stamped a sentiment from the Strong and Beautiful stamp set as well as a daisy from the Ornate Style set. So simple and pretty!

Be sure to check out the other blogs in this month's hop...I have so many talented stampers in my Stamping Symphony family!

Ornate Garden Thanks

Happy Tuesday...and happy belated Easter! I hope you had a blessed holiday, even whilst social distancing. Although so much has been cancelled by this virus, Easter has not...Jesus still rose from the grave and THAT is reason to celebrate!

Before I get to today's project share, I have to tell you to head over to my online store and check out the Clearance Rack. It has been updated with TON of great retired products all priced to move. All items are available only while supplies last, so you'll want to head over there NOW to snap up the deals!

Over the long weekend I had a chance to play with the beautiful new Ornate Garden Suite, which is a pre-release from the upcoming 2020/21 Annual Catalogue. All I can say is WOW! These are BEAUTIFUL products! I just couldn't stop playing with them...so many ideas! Here is the very first card I created...

Just look at the detail on those layers! As someone who tends to layer A LOT, the Ornate Layers bundle was made for me! And how about that DSP? So many of the patterns remind me of Laura Ashley prints...so very pretty!

My colour palette came from the DSP...Mint Macaron and Terracotta Tile...such an unexpected combination that works beautifully together! The ribbon I used is actually from the current Annual Catalogue and is so soft and pretty...perfect for this design.

Because I love the layering dies so much, I couldn't resist cutting another Whisper White layer for the inside of the card...such a pretty touch!

Here is the link to my video in which I demonstrate this card and two others using the Ornate Garden Suite...

Thanks for stopping by today...have a great week. Stay well and be safe!
