I have commented a few times regarding the Peony stamp set and that it is my favorite flower. Today’s card is a bit of an elegant version using that stamp set. I rarely do cards on the elegant side. I hope you like this one.
The only item from the Peony Garden Suite that I did not use is the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon. And it would have worked with this card. I just didn’t think of it.
I really adore this Dainty Diamond 3D Embossing Folder. It is pretty regardless of which side of the embossed paper you use. It is another folder that is a bit on the more subtle side. I like that very much.
The small peony flower is just so pretty. I stamped it with Gray Granite Ink and colored just the highlights of the blossom with Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend. The leaves were colored using the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. It is die cut and then raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment is from the stamp set and it stamped in Gray Granite as well. I stamped it towards the bottom of the card stock and then punched using the Label Me Lovely punch. The added touch is the Elegant Faceted Gem.
I wanted a bit more for grounding the sentiment and flower. So I used a 3 X 3 piece of the Peony Garden DSP. I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the corners and then layered the Square Vellum Doily on top. This could be placed square or diamond angle. I liked the diamond better.
Thank you so much for stopping in today. I hope you like this card and will leave some comments. Please return tomorrow for another new project.

I had a great vacation last week on the beach. The weather and water were wonderful. I had filled in my cards to share with a few of the Stampin’ Up! videos. I hope you enjoyed those. There are quite a few of them on the Stampin’ Up! YouTube channel.
For today I am sharing a fun stamp set that I know I will be using quite often. It is the Way To Goat set.
I love the goat and to me the expression on his face is sort of “I don’t care what you think”. I love that. The sentiment goes right along with the expression.
I did minimal coloring on the goat. I only shaded the darker areas on the body and the flower he is snacking on. Since he is snacking on what could be a daisy, I paired the Ornate Garden DSP piece of daisies. I based my colors from that DSP as well.
The banner regarding the cake he ate is cut using the Tasteful Labels Dies. This banner, and those dies, will get a lot of use. For the second part of the sentiment, I used the Classic Label Punch. I cut one end off flush with the edge of the paper to make it a banner of sorts as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I will have another new project to share tomorrow. I am back in full swing again.

My favorite flower is a Peony. So when Stampin’ Up! debuted the beautiful Prized Peony stamp set, I knew it was coming to my house. Today’s card is the first time I have inked it up. I am in love once again!
This is another time I purchased the entire Suite of products for the Prized Peony. All of the items are wonderful. With the exception of the tag punch I used for the sentiment, everything is from the suite of products.
The colors of the Peony suite are gray and pink. I used Petal Pink and Gray Granite for the card stock colors. The DSP, Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, shares those colors as well. The ribbon is a shimmery Gray Granite.
I stamped the flower in Gray Granite Ink and colored with the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blend. It is die cut using the matching dies. It may be a bit hard to see in the photo, but behind the flower is the Square Vellum Doilies that are also part of the suite. The vellum is just enough for some added texture.
The sentiment is from the stamp set and it stamped in Old Olive Ink. It is punched using the Lovely Label Punch. I found a tip for the cutting of the label length from another demonstrator and then could not find it again. So I say Thank You and I apologize for not making note of your name when I saw the tip.
Stamp your sentiment and then punch with the Lovely Label punch, either side works the same. The tip is to save the little piece that was cut off. Now lay it on the strip of your sentiment at the proper length away from the sentiment to center it.
Now simply trim the strip at the outside of the little piece and then punch. You should have a perfectly centered sentiment for your project. Woohoo!!
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend.

I have a Celebration card to share with you today. Today is the InKing Royalty Blog Hop with the theme of July 4th. I could not commit to the hop, but had the theme idea in my brain. So I decided to play along anyway.
I started with the new Arrange A Wreath stamp set. I was going to make a patriotic wreath. And I sort of did, it just wasn’t what I intended. My idea wasn’t working so I got the Stitched Stars dies out to make different sizes and colors of stars. When I noticed the large swirl of stars, I knew it would work perfectly. It is sort of a banner across my wreath.
I did add a few extra stars to the wreath to evenly balance it out. I wrapped twine from the Flowers For Every Garden Ribbon Combo Pack. The Celebrate is from the new stamp set Many Mates. It is cut using the Ornate Frames dies. The finishing touch was a few Red Rhinestones to some of the white stars.
One of the good things I did on this was to remember our Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Sheets. I added the adhesive sheet to the Real Red card stock prior to cutting the banner. It makes for very easy adhesion. Otherwise I would have had a glue mess on my hands!
Thank you for stopping by today. It is hard to believe we are mid June already. July is only a few weeks away. I will work on another July 4th card for the actual holiday.
