Welcome to the Pals June, 2018 Blog Hop. This month we’re going to Pick a “B.” Projects for Babies, Birthdays or Brides, that is. Be on the look out for creations using new products from Stampin’ Up!
You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
My “B” card idea for today’s hop is “bridal” (although I think “birthday” would work just as well). The simple design is anchored by the gorgeous paper from Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper, new in the Stampin’ Up! 2018-2019 Annual Catalog.
Fresh picked inspiration! Watch this Stampin’ Up! video sharing the design process for the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Create a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base using Petal Pink card stock and a Stampin’ Trimmer. It cuts and scores.
Adhere a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Very Vanilla card stock with Snail Adhesive to the card base. Center and adhere (Snail) a 3 x 4 pattern from Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.
Cut Old Olive card stock to 3 1/2 x 4 1/2. Create a frame by cropping the center with the rectangle die from Sliding Door Framelits Dies, the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and the Magnetic Platform.
Emboss frame with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder in BOTH the portrait and landscape directions (back and forth in each direction). This gives a beautiful, linen finish! Adhere a 4″ piece of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon to the back of the frame. Here’s a WOW! video with tips on using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
Crop “dream” sentiment using Thick Very Vanilla card stock, the “dream” die from Chase Your Dreams Framelits Dies, Precision Base Plate (perfect for detailed dies) and the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine. Adhere to sides of frame over the burlap ribbon.
Add a Calypso Coral Brad (Basic Brads) to the bottom right corner. Center and adhere embossed frame over floral pattern with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the envelope liner die from Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies and the Big Shot, crop more of the same pattern (5 1/4 x 4) from Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper. Adhere with Snail to the inside flap of a Very Vanilla Medium Die.

Love your card Mary, and thanks for the tip to use that rectangle die. I especially love what you did with the burlap ribbon. Very pretty indeed.
Thanks, Jackie. Those little touches, like the burlap, pull everything together, right?
This is FABULOUS! And, I know you’re happy to have that envelope liner. 🙂
You said it, Denise. I’m thrilled about the liner.
Mary, this is such a lovely card! Thanks for sharing all the instructions on it 🙂
I’m getting positive feedback on offering the step by step instructions. Thanks, Jennifer, for your comment, too!
Beautiful card! That DSP makes it very elegant.
Thanks so much, Lisa Ann, for stopping by and leaving a kind comment!
In love with your “barn door” rectangular frame! And, the paper is delish!
Thanks, Su. I get so much use out of that rectangle die!
This is just a beautifully “framed” card !! The Old Olive frame using the Subtle folder is outstanding & I always enjoy your latest designs!!
Thanks so much, Nancy. I think the pretty paper is worthy of a frame!
Wow! Finally found a card worthy of my coveted DSP! This card is gorgeous!
and I just made another one for Saturday’s post . . . clean and simple. this paper rules the world!
WOW!! Mary, this card is absolutely gorgeous!!! what a glorious way to showcase that DSP.
Love the way you framed this image and how the Burlap Ribbon peeks out on the edges of the frame, the die cut sentiment word fits this card to perfection.
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us, you are so inspiring.
XO
Maria.
Thanks, Maria, for your thoughtful feedback. I love the texture of the burlap ribbon!
Love the window for the DSP! The embossing folder is perfect for this layout too! Beautiful card!
I get so much use out of the rectangle from the Sliding Door Framelits. Thanks, Wendy!
This card is a real beauty, Mary. The floral paper is stunning. I’m so happy to see what the EF really looks like. I’ve only seen it shown on white paper, which doesn’t show up. I love this linen look. Have a great day!
Thanks, HJ. I’m working on a WOW! video for tomorrow to show the texture even more!
Your card is simply BEAUTIFUL. And might I add……The ‘Pick a B Blog Hop’ was full of BRIGHT and BOLD creations. Thanks for sharing.
And “B” is for a brilliant comment, Kadie!
Omg this is absolutely gorgeous. You are making me spend money I don’t have LOL. At least I’ll be way over my 3 month quot.
Think of it as stress reduction and therapy, Terry!
So pretty Mary! Happy to see what Subtle embossing folder looks like in “real life.”
I have missed the linen textured card stock we offered years ago. This is even better because I can turn any color card stock into a linen look!
Oh my gosh, Mary! This is absolutely stunning!
Thanks, Celia. I was so happy to play with the pattern and add an envelope liner!
WOW!!! What a pretty card!! LOVE the DSP!! Have to add that to my list!
It’s absolutely gorgeous paper, Kathy. I can’t wait to try another pattern.
Such a GORGEOUS card, Mary! That greet frame really helps to bring this paper to life. I love the texture that’s achieved by the Subtle TIEF! <3
The embossing folder is one of my favorite products in the catalog. Thanks for visiting, BK.
Wow. I don’t know how you guys do it but the amazing results of your creativity and the incredible resources from SUp just keep giving us so much inspiration and great ideas to work with. Thanks!
Thanks, Karren. I played with the layout quite a bit until I was happy. Glad you enjoyed it!
