Stamp Crop & Cruise Project 6

So far I’ve shared easy beginner cards, a hand crafted card box, a 24 page scrapbook, a framed art project and a set of fun fold cards we made at Stamp Crop & Cruise.  Today’s share is this set of 6 cards featuring the Floral Romance Suite.

I LOVE everything about this gorgeous suit of projects, from the soft and elegant designs in the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper, to the floral images and lovely sentiments of the Wonderful Romance stamp set to the delicately detailed coordinating Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies to the sweet Frosted Flower Embellishments and more.

All of the cards in this project set have Sahara Sand card bases and the “Ship-lap” printed designer paper.  The decorative elements on each card are matted with Fresh Fig and Petal Pink cardstock and the floral vellum prints are attached to Whisper White cardstock to make the printed leaves and flowers pop!

The Petal Pink/Whisper White Variegated Ribbon from the Floral Romance Suite is so soft and flowing and ties such pretty bows.

Look at the stunning detail of the lattice and leaves cut from Mossy Meadow cardstock with one of the dies from the Wonderful Floral Framelits.

The sentiments for this card and the one below comes from the Humming Along stamp set.  Did you notice that the Rectangle Stitched Framelits were used on each of the sentiment pieces on all the cards?  They are a must have for your crafting collection.

Each card is embellished with a flower from the Frosted Flower Embellishments.  Each participant received a package of these embellishments to take home.

This last card features a sentiment from the Meant to Be stamp set.  Isn’t it neat how all of the cards coordinate so beautifully, using the same products, yet they are each unique?

Of course we had to stamp the inside of the cards too!  The leaves were stamped in Mossy Meadow and the flowers in Fresh Fig, then colored in with an Aqua Painter (which they each got to take home with them too).

And once again, we decorated the envelopes to coordinate with the cards.  We just attached the Vellum Print to the envelope flap, it’s as easy as that!

When the front flap is opened (like a normal card) this is what you see on the inside of the card.

When the left inside flap is pulled down you can see the images that peek through the open window on the front of the card.

I like when the envelopes coordinate with the cards, so we embossed the envelope flap with the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder, then added a strip of the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper to finish it off.

I know it’s really hard to get an idea of how to make these Fun Fold Cards, so I think a video tutorial would be an appropriate way to show you.  I will be starting to do Face Book Live Videos on Thursday February 21st and this set of 5 cards will be my first video.  In order to view my Face Book Live Videos you will need to  Join my Stampin’ Studio VIP Group.

I would also love it if you would follow and like my Facebook Business Page

My Face Book Live’s will start next Thursday, February 21st at 4:00 so be sure to join my Stampin’ Studio VIP Group so you don’t miss out. 

Stamp Crop & Cruise Project 4

Framed art projects have always been a big hit with my customers and the ladies that attended my Stamp Crop & Cruise Retreat last week seemed to enjoy this Valentines Framed Art piece that we made.

Stampin' Up! All My Love DSP, Forever Lovely Bundle, Meat To Be Bundle, Stamp Crop & Cruise Retreat, Stampin' Studio

We started with a base of Blushing Bride cardstock and then added layers of Lovely Lipstick and Whisper White as well as the All My Love Designer Series Papers.  The Forever Lovely stamp set and coordinating Lovely Flowers Edgelits were used to adorn some of the “blocks” while the Meant to Be stamp set and coordinating Be Mine Stitched Framelits were used as accents.  We also used the beautiful Rose Trellis Dies for the label accent on the lower right corner.  The frame is 8″ x 8″ and every stamper went home with the frame as well as a package of the Heart Epoxy Droplets.  This is a perfect decor piece to gift to someone or to decorate your home every year at Valentines Day.

This week I’ve shared 4 of the projects we made at Stamp Crop & Cruise Retreat and we’re only half way done with the projects.  I’m taking a break from posting for the weekend as I’ll be attending a Leadership Conference in Michigan, but come back Monday when I’ll be sharing more with you.
