New Catalog Theme Blog Hop

Welcome to Team Stamp It Groups New Catalog Theme Blog Hop!  Whether you hopped onto my blog from one of my teammates or started 
with my blog, I'm awfully glad you hopped by.
Have you seen the new Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalog?  It is filled with beautiful and amazing products.  The Perennial Essence Suite that I used to make this project is an example of some of those beautiful, amazing products.
The purse and card were made using the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.
The card purse will hold approximately 6 cards with envelopes.  The design was inspired by a card carrier made by Amy Celona.  
The daisy was made using Perennial Essence Vellum cardstock that was stamped with the daisy stamps from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Melon Mambo ink. The daisy's were cut out with the coordinating Daisy Punches, adhered together and a Perennial Essence Floral Center was placed in the center of the daisy.
The sentiment is from the Band Together stamp set and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink.  The sentiment was placed on a Rich Razzleberry card band cut from one of the Detailed Bands dies, which is available as a bundle with the Band Together stamp set or sold separately.
The inside of the card is stamped with a flower from the Floral Essence Stamp set.

Summer Lovin' Theme Blog Hop

Welcome to Team Stamp It Groups Summer Lovin' Theme Blog Hop!  Whether you hopped onto my blog from one of my teammates or started 
with my blog, I'm awfully glad you hopped by.
When I think of occasions that happen in the summer my thoughts go to weddings.  Using the Magnolia Lane Memories & More card pack along with the coordinating Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More cards and envelopes card making for the occasion is a snap! 
This card is so beautiful and was CASED from the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog on page 171.  To make the card, it required some fussy cutting, but the results were so worth it.  The Magnolia Lane Memories & More card pack comes with two each of both 3" x 4" and 4" x 6" double-sided cards for a total of 50 cards along with 
six 4" x 6" single-sided printed vellum specialty cards. To make this card, 
I fussy cut the larger magnolia flowers from one of the matching cards and adhered them to the card front of the uncut matching card.  
The leaves were made by coloring the leaves on one of the vellum sheets with Light Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends. I then fussy cut the leaves and adhered 
them to the card tucking one end under the magnolia flowers.
The sentiment on the card is from the Special Celebrations stamp set.  Before the sentiment panel was adhered to the card front, it was wrapped with Mossy Meadow Linen thread.
The front of the envelope for this card was stamped with Whisper White Craft ink and the large magnolia flower from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.
The Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More cards and envelopes pack comes with printed envelope liners that coordinate perfectly with the 
Magnolia Lane Suite of products.
I was having so much fun making these cards, here are a few more that I made. The best part about these cards is they look like you spent hours on them instead of just the few minutes they took to make.
For this card I adhered a 4" x 6" double-sided card onto the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More card base.  Next I adhered a 3 1/8" x 4 1/8" Silver Foil panel onto the card front.  The front panel is one of the coordinating 
3" x 4" double-sided Magnolia Lane Memories & More double-sided card.  To finish the card, I added three Pearl Basic Jewels.
This card was especially simple to make.  I adhered a 4 1/8" x 6 1/8"  Mossy Meadow cardstock panel to the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More card base.  Next, I wrapped Mossy Meadow Linen Twine a couple times around the 4" x 6" Magnolia Lane Memories & More card from the card pack and adhered it onto the card front.  To finish the card, I added a couple flowers from one of the four sticker sheets that come in the Magnolia Lane Memories & More card pack and some Pearl Basic Jewels.  
Viola!  A beautiful card completed in less than 5 minutes.
This card was made using the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More Card base.  The card bases are made from Kraft paper and have white foil  accents, which accentuate the 3" x 4" Memories & More cards. Before I adhered the card to the card base, I wrapped Mossy Meadow Linen Thread around the card a couple of times and added three Pearl Basic Jewels to the upper right hand corner.
This card was made the same way as above, except I adhered a 3 1/8" x 4 1/8" Mossy Meadow cardstock panel to the back of the 3" x 4" card and wrapped this panel with 3/8" Magnolia Lane Linen Ribbon and tied it in a faux bow.  This linen ribbon has white edges and is very beautiful.  For the finishing touch to the card, I added some Pearl Basic Jewels.
