Hi Stamping Friends! 

Today is a busy, busy day in the Too Cool Stamping studio as Michelle and I get ready for our big Catalog Kickoff Party this weekend!  We are going to have so much fun making 20 different cards to highlight the best new products from the Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-Bration flyer!  I can't wait for the fun to begin! 

Today's card is one of my favorites from our Kickoff Event featuring the beautiful detailed flower die-cut from Botanical Gardens Thinlits!

Botanical Gardens With Suite Sayings

I was inspired by the Occasions Catalog for this card, using a gift bag on page 26 for the pretty color combination. That Botanical Gardens flower is amazing—what a lovely, dimensional paper flower!

Background Basics—This card starts with a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Pool Party that's accented with a strip of Botanical Gardens Designer Series Washi Tape and mounted on a Cajun Craze card base.

Focal Point Layer—I layered a 4" x 3" sheet of the lovely Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper on a 4-1/4" x 2-1/4" mat of Basic Black. This layer is popped up with Dimensionals.

Botanical Bloom—I die-cut the Crushed Curry flower with the Botanical Gardens Thinlits, and created some depth by sponging on a little Cajun Craze ink in the center.  My favorite part is the frilly center of the flower, also created with the Botanical Gardens Thinlits.  I die-cut it from Basic Black, then scrunched them a bit for more texture before adding them to the center with a Glue Dot.

Sweet Sentiment—The Suite Sayings sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a 4-1/4" x 1-1/4" piece of Whisper White that was fish-tailed on one end.  After adhering the banner onto the card, I adhered the flower to it with Glue Dots.

Suite Coordination—Did you know that the greetings in Suite Sayings stamp set are all designed in fonts that coordinating with the different suites in the catalog?  The birthday sentiment I used here coordinates well with the images in the Botanical Blooms stamp set, as well as Party Wishes set.  Other greetings in the set coordinate with the Birthday Blooms, Rose Wonder, First Sight, Going Global, and Bloomin' Love sets, and more!  It's a great set to expand the versatility of your favorite stamp sets!

Finishing Touches—I finished the card with a single It's My Party Enamel Dot accent.  

Botanical blooms - thanks

Two Cool—I tried another version going in the vertical direction.

This time, I shortened the banner a little bit and used another Suite Sayings greeting that perfectly coordinates with this Botanical Gardens suite!

  1. This is one of the best Catalogues that S U have done, the only trouble I’m having is what to choose!!! if not all of the book. my 1st workshop is early Feb so i’ve been busy doing a selection of cards some of your ideas, some from the catalogue and then adaptions of my own, what a collection they will have to choose from. so many to inter-change with old sets too.
