C'est Magnifique!

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   #FabulousFriday   I adore the Parisian Blossoms Suite on pages 14 through 17 of the January-to-June Mini Catalog! I love the color combination in the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love the Parisian Beauty Dies! This card uses all those elements--and more! I received it from Sondra Jumper in a swap and I couldn't wait to share it with you!

Sondra stamped the Eiffel Tower from the "Parisian Beauty" stamp set in Versamark Ink onto a Champagne Foil Sheet. She sprinkled on some Shimmer Black Embossing Powder and set it with her Heat Tool. She cut out the Eiffel Tower with the matching Parisian Beauty Die. Sondra stamped a flower from the "Forever Blossoms" stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock. She colored it with Light and Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blends and cut it out with the matching Cherry Blossoms Die. Sondra also used the Parisian Beauty Dies to cut "amour" from Basic Black Card Stock.

Next, Sondra embossed a 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" piece of Pool Party Card Stock with the Parisian Flourish Embossing Folder. She adhered this to the bottom of a 3-3/4" by 5" piece of Petal Pink Card Stock. She adhered a 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" piece of Parisian Blossoms Specialty DSP to the top. Then she wrapped a length of Metallic-Edge Petal Pink Ribbon around the seam where the two papers meet and adhered everything to a Thick Whisper White Card Stock card base.

Sondra adhered the Eiffel Tower to the card with regular and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. She also adhered the flower to the card with a Stampin' Dimensional. She used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the "amour" piece to the card. For a finishing touch, Sondra added a gorgeous Champagne Basic Rhinestone Jewel to the center of the card. C'est magnifique!

Always and Forever

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   #ThoughtfulThursday   Have you ever stamped on designer series paper and colored it with Stampin' Blends? I never even thought about doing that! But in this card that we made at Stampin' Up's OnStage sneak preview event, we did just that! Take a look!

We stamped an image from the "Forever Blossoms" stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink onto a 3" by 4" piece of Parisian Blossoms DSP. We colored the flowers with Light and Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blends and the leaves with Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends. We adhered a 3-1/4" by 4-1/4" piece of Vellum Card Stock directly onto a Pool Party Card Stock card base and the stamped DSP piece on top, at an angle--I never think of angling my layers either!

Next, we stamped a sentiment from the "Forever Blossoms" set in Smoky Slate Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock and punched it out with the Label Me Fancy Punch.

To finish the card we adhered a "sweep" of Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon on top of the DSP and then adhered the sentiment piece with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, we added three Champagne Rhinestone Jewels to the card. So pretty!

You can get loads of beautiful, coordinating products from the Parisian Blossoms Mega Suite on pages 14 through 17 of the January to June Mini Catalog with one item number: 153934. You know you want it ALL!! Plus you'll be eligible for two FREE Sale-a-Bration items...or three, if you spend just $16.50 more. Woo-hoo!
