This beautiful floral suite is coming your way on April 1st. The Ornate Garden Suite is part of the selection for the new Annual 2020/21 catalogue, coming in June, but as an early release, we get to enjoy it before the catalogue comes live on June 3rd. This card was inspired by a card from a member of the Stampin’ Up! Design Team, Emma Goddard, in the UK.
Cut your card stock as follows:
Card Base – Very Vanilla
8-1/2 x 5-1/2, score at 4-1/4
Very Vanilla (cut 2) 5-1/4 x 4, plus small scrap
Garden Green – half sheet
Ornate Foil DSP – fussy cut flowers
I heat embossed the large floral design with gold embossing powder, onto Garden Green card stock, then fussy cut it out.
Die cut the larger of the scrolled frames from the Ornate Layers Dies, from the Garden Green card stock.
Emboss one of the Very Vanilla pieces, with the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder. Layer onto the card base, adhering with your favourite snail or liquid glue.
On top of this, layer your Ornate Layers frame, and then place your embossed floral element onto this.
Place your fussy-cut flowers onto your embossed leaf/floral, adhering with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Heat emboss your sentiment, in gold and trim. Embellish with the gilded gems.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial video. Have a great weekend.

Hi everyone
With the rapid spread of our favourite virus (not***), I’ve decided to postpone classes until May. I will post the dates and send out emails for those classes. If you can’t make it to a class or the times don’t work for you, I’m always happy to create a class just for you and your friends ( I need a minimum of 3 bodies), at your home. Just let me know or email me for more options.
Stay well, stay safe. Best regards
Lise

I love this card. My dear friend and downline, Doreen made this card on one of our crafting weekends, recently. This beautiful Eiffel tower is 
placed on a brick background, made of embossing paste mixed with a bit of Dazzling Diamonds glitter, and 1-2 drops of Petal Pink re-inker. The brick stencil is part of the Pattern Party Decorative Masks. The die-cut flourish was cut from the Petal Pink matte to save paper, as the Petal Pink card stock will be covered by the Whisper White front. The front sentiment was cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and layered upon the Pool Party matte.
The colours are Petal Pink, Pool Party, Whisper White. The 1″ x 5″ strip of DSP is from the Parisian Blossoms.
Cut your card stock as follows:
Card Base – Whisper White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Whisper White 5 1/4 x 4 (2)
+ scraps
Petal Pink – 5 3/8 x 4 1/8
Pool Party – 2 1/2 x 1 1/8

This card was inspired by a card that my downline and close friend, Doreen Teasdale created, during one of our monthly stamping weekends at The Critters’ Den.
I thought this stamp was “nice” but it wasn’t really calling my name, until I saw Doreen’s card. Now, it’s one of my favourites. I’m hoping Stampin’ Up! will keep it in the new catalogue this summer.
Cut your card stock as follows:
Card Base – Garden Green 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score 4 1/4 and 2 1/8 on the 8 1/2″ side
Blackberry Bliss – 3 1/2 x 3 1/2
Very Vanilla – 5 1/4 x 5, 3 1/4 x 3 1/4
Lily Impressions DSP – 1 7/8 x 5
Stamp your floral designs on the Very Vanilla 3 1/4″ square with Memento Ink. Using the “filler” stamps, finish your flowers with the Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green inks.
Layer on to your Blackberry Bliss 3 1/2″ square.
Create a Z fold with your card base. Adhere the DSP strip to the front small section of the card, then centre the Floral element over the DSP.
Stamp your sentiment on the inside of the card, making sure that it’s centred, so the Floral square covers it.
I hope you like this card – I love it!
