I really enjoyed making this card a few months ago, so, rather than re-inventing the wheel, I decided to use the same layout, with different papers. This is the colour scheme I worked with, thanks to

I took part in a mega tutorial bundle group where all Stampin' Up! demonstrators involved contributed a project tutorial using products in the new Ornate Garden Suite being released publicly
I just love learning new techniques. Today's card will show how to use the sponge dauber for coloring. There are many ways to use sponge daubers. This is just one way. Experiment with the sponge daubers yourself to learn different coloring techniques. I used the Stampin' UP! products in the new Ornate Garden Suite for
Welcome to the Sunday night INKspired Blog-Hop! I love being able to play long each fortnight with the INKspired Team members. If this is your first stop please hop over to the other team players to see what they have created using the beautiful Ornate GardenSpecialty Designer Series Paper which is the product Challenge Teneale Williams has selected for us this week. You may have arrived here from the lovely Katrina Healy who I'm sure has inspired you with her awesome creation Firstly to all my beautiful Stampin' Up! Family in Melbourne I hope you are all well and safe in this worrying time. Fingers crossed it won't be long before we can all put this outbreak behind us and begin enjoying better times together. Today I want to show you some pretty things which I hope will make you smile. I have made Four cards using a combination of different products that I felt coordinated with the Stampin' Up! Ornate Garden suite. This beautiful suite of products can be found on page 64 of the 2020 / 2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. All four of my cards feature the absolutely beautiful Ornate Layers Dies which can be purchased as a bundle as well. I LOVE that with Stampin 'Up! everything coordinates so well together. My First Card This card uses the Ornate Specialty DSP and one of my favourite stamp sets " Country Home" I focused on the colours with the DSP and used my Stampin' Blends to colour the flowers and can. I used the whisper white Ornate frame and the stitched framelit Die to create some depth and bring it all together. And yes there is 6 layers as I do LOVE layering. LOL My Second Card This was a simple and quick card to make. I used Soft Suede Cardstock and Whisper white to create a little elegance with the DSP. I coloured the Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon this time using the Light Soft Suede Stampin' Blend. I think the Ornate Frame and Ribbon really added a little class to this one.. What do you think? My Third Card This is my first Christmas card for 2020. For this card I wanted to show how we can make Stampin' Up! DSP work with other products to create simply and beautiful cards like the one. This piece of Ornate DSP works so well with Real Red Cardstock and Gold foil to create the feel of Christmas. I love the All The Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack which includes Poppy Parade and old Olive statin ribbon edged with gold. Its so pretty. I die cut the little tree from the Pine Woods Dies. The Gold foil added the Bling that I love to add to all my Christmas cards. My Final Card I struggled getting this card to come together as the concept was good but the DSP together clashed. I wanted to show how the paper can be used in different ways other than layered on a piece of cardstock. I loved how my pineapple came together but I am not sure the DSP worked with it. I did enjoy the challenge and I had me really thinking out of the box. Now it's over the the lovely Julie Martin to see her creation this week.

Using the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set from the Ornate Style Bundle I have created this cute little gift for my mum. The resources are listed here or is you click any of the photos. For the card I have coloured the image using our Stampin' Blends. Heads up though if you want to colour with these on the envelope then you need to pop a piece of card inside it first so that it doesn't go all the way through. The base of the card is stamped tone on tone. My sentiment is from Strong & Beautiful. The coasters are made using MDF squares and Mod Podge but however if you watch this video through you will see the pen tub I have made using our Stampin' Up! Fine Tip Glue instead.

Oh I LOVE this Fun Fold Card idea!! I had never seen this fold before until I attended a 4 day retreat in So. California in February. Amy Combs hosted the retreat and this fun fold card pattern was my favorite card idea! The great thing is, it basically uses up 1/2 a sheet of 12x12 DSP (Designer Series Paper) with minimal cutting and just 3 score lines, AND showcases both sides.. I think that's the best part! There are 4 different ways you can make this card. I'll be highlighting them in my Facebook Live today at 10am PT.

Last Friday's Facebook Live...A Little Stamp Therapy was all about the Ornate Garden Suite!!! LOVE IT!! This group of projects were all about us being able to give back...to show thanks for all those ESSENTIAL WORKERS going above and beyond the call of duty!! I created these projects for us to give to say thank you for all of those who are there for all of us now!! To learn how to make all these projects.... check out the Facebook LIVE replay here ... Water City Stamping Facebook Page This darling little box is our Mini Shipping Boxes from our main Stampin Up Catalog... I covered it with the Ornate Garden Designer Series Specialty Paper. Added ribbon handles from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo. Finished it off with a triple layer Daisy from the Large and Medium Daisy Punches and a gold gem from the Gilded Gems from the suite. The matching card is a perfect compliment to the box. Wouldn't this be the perfect thank you for your mail carrier, grocery store clerk, nurses, teachers and the list could go on and on!! Next I showed a beautiful card with a different purpose using the Ornate Borders dies . This is a perfect card to celebrate that special day. The Mint Macron and Gold Foil is such a lovely combination!! And finally we created this pretty Daisy Card. Using a sandpaper technique we did long ago...but I recently saw it again when Chris Smith made a lovely card/background with the Ornate Floral 3-D Embossing Folder. The Designer Series Paper that coordinates with our Colored Cardstock is perfect for this technique. Make sure you check out the Facebook replay to see how this was created! The Sentiments from the Ornate Thanks works perfect for this card.
