Time for a Sneak Peek! This card uses the Baby Blossoms stamp set and several accessories from the Springtime Vintage Suite in the new Occasions Mini catalogue. In this mini catalogue, Stampin’ Up! has sorted the stamp sets and accessories into several different suites of products. If you are not sure what to order first, simply flip through the catalogue and choose your favourite suite and start there.

Each suite includes a stamp set, designer series paper and several accessories.  The other suites in this catalogue are Hugs & Kisses, Bring on the Cake, Botanical Gazette and Oh Sew! You may not have an easy time selecting your favourite suite. 

For this card, I used mainly Rose Red and Very Vanilla. The Springtime Vintage Suite has several Rose Red accessories so this card was easy to make. After stamping Certainly Celery leaves from the Baby Blossoms stamp set I added a Rose Red Flower Adornment to the center. These adornments come as a set of 24 in three colours – Rose Red, Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla.

To make the border along the edge of the card, I used the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder. If you are a fan of the Big Shot embossing folders, you will want to add this new one to your collection right away.

I also added a length of Rose Red Seam Binding and tied it into a bow at the end. Stampin’ Up! added Seam Binding to its product line a few months ago and now we get four new colours – Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz and Rose Red.

Watch for more Sneak Peeks of the other suites in the next few days.

This card is not my usual simple style. I don’t often add lot of layers and adornment to a card but I did for this one. The big Old Olive striped ribbon really adds to the Over the Top feel of this card.

First, I ran a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock through the Big Shot die-cutting machine using the Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder. Next, I adhered the wide and narrow strips of Jolly Holiday designer series paper to the embossed piece and ran it through the Big Shot again using the Top Note die. This was so much simpler than cutting each piece separately and then trying to align each of them.

I added layered squares of Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla cardstocks angling them as a diamond between the points of the Top Note. After stamping and punching an Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler ornament, I added them to the card with dimensionals. 

Finally, I tied a big bow from the Old Olive striped ribbon and added it to the side of the card with a dimensional.  A step up from my usual cards and definitely a card that needs to be hand delivered. I hope you like it!
