Eden’s Garden & Forever Fern; a fun way to use the Picture This dies

Monday evening I created projects with the Forever Fern bundle for my weekly Tuesday Facebook Live. But by the next morning the Forever Fern stamp set was sold out; gone.  So I had to switch gears a bit and decided to substitute Forever Fern with Eden's Garden. I think it turned out lovely!  

Eden's Garden Picture This Save

See the Eden's Garden set here.  It was $22 and is now just $9.20, while supplies last.

There are dies to match called the Eden dies seen here. They were $35 and are now just $14. 

EDEN DIES Save

I used all retiring inks and card stock – Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry & Pear Pizzazz.  I had to focus on my Bermuda Bay; I'll sure miss this color!  The card stock, ink and refill are already sold out.  

I wanted to feature the Picture This dies too; I honestly love these dies and use both the full windows die-cut and the stitched label pieces left over. Each side is stitched! They're perfect for greeting labels. This 2 piece set of dies is now $27.20; it was $34.  See them here.

Measurements:

  • Bermuda Bay card base 8 ½” X 5"
  • White die-cut piece is 3 ¾” X 5”, White stamped piece is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
  • Rich Razzleberry 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”

Below you can see the Forever Fern card on the left and the Eden's Garden card on the right.

I think the color combination is beautiful.  I'll sure miss these colors!  

Below are the three cards I shared on the video.  I think the Forever Fern stamp set is one of the most gorgeous set of stamps Stampin' Up! has ever made. The distinktive quality of the images gives a true multi-hued effect; it's my very favorite type of stamp.  I'm sorry it retired and that it's already sold out.  You can get it in French still…..

    If you just stopped in from Bree's blog I'm sure you enjoyed her projects. She is uber creative!

    My first card features the Floating Technique. It gives the illusion that your paper is floating on the card.  

    Floating Technique Amazing Thanks Save

    I adhered random sizes of card stock strips onto a piece of Window Sheet and used our largest circle in the Layering Circles dies  to die-cut it out.  I've been making monochromatic cards lately and chose my favorite blue/green hues of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Coastal Cabana.

    Details:

    • This circle is added with Stampin' Dimensionals onto White CS that's been embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. 
    • The 'Thanks' is made with our Amazing Thanks dies from the January-June catalog. 
    • The 'Friend' greeting was fussy cut from the Special Moments stamp set.
    • Those pretty rhinestones are from a new release coming out in March called the Wave Collection.  Rhinestones in blues & greens!!

    I recently made a card with the Hello Ladybug using Magenta Madness with Black and wanted to try it out with Coastal Cabana too. I found out that our new Supple Shimmer specialty paper works great for wings! It's pretty & iridescent.

    It's also what I like to call Black & White with a 'pop' of color.  A bit of black on a card makes other colors 'show up' and be noticed. 

    This card is an easy fun fold.  Turn any basic card into a fun fold with these measurements: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”
    • White (X 2) 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
    • 3 ¾” X 5” Black

    The stamped images are all from the Hello Ladybug stamp set.  It's in a bundle with the punch at 10% off when purchased together.
