Stampin' Up! Prized Peony Fun Fold Gift Card Holder

Hi my crafty friends! So glad you popped by today because I have a super pretty card for you, and it's not difficult to make...shhhh....that's our little secret!

I started with a base of Gray Granite, and once the 2 panels were scored, I folded them toward the centre of the card. Next I added a strip of Peony Garden DSP and Gray Granite that I embossed using one of the Greenery Embossing Folders. All of the measurements can be found on my video (below), so do be sure to check it out.

I lined of inside of the card with a piece of the Peony Garden DSP. The design on this paper is subtle and lends itself well to stamped images and a handwritten message. The sentiment, from Many Mates, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. That little pocket with the notch is the gift card holder. Again I used Peony Garden DSP, and stamped one of the floral images in Petal Pink onto the paper.

Many Mates Cling Stamp Set - Item #152633

With so many awesome sentiments, the Many Mates stamp set you can easily change up this card to be great for many other occasions!

The next step was to make a belly band & decorate it. The circle was cut using the largest Stitched Shapes die. I used the same pattern as the gift card holder, but this time stamped the largest floral image onto the DSP using Petal Pink, and then the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black. The band is Petal Pink cardstock and the ribbon I used is from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo

Pack.

Here's a closer look at the Peony Garden DSP - it's it gorgeous!! See how quickly this card came together! The last step is to add a few Elegant Faceted Gems, which you can get free with my ordering special....read on, but first, here's the video with all the measurements.

Stampin' Up! Prized Peony Masking Technique

I had a really good feeling about this stamp set when I first leafed through the pages of the Annual Catalogue!!

Hi and thank you for stopping by my blog today! I'm so excited to introduce you to the Prized Peony set! Stunning images with such depth and incredible detail.

I absolutely love how my card turned out, and guess what - it was simple to make! My how-to video is further down in this post, so be sure to check it out!

For this card, I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and used painter's tape to create a border. With my Sponge Brayer inked up in Blushing Bride, I rolled the brayer back and forth horizontally across the cardstock to create an hombre look. Next, again using Blushing Bride, I stamped the large peony, then carefully removed the painter's tape.

I heat embossed the sentiment in White Stampin' Emboss Powder onto Basic Black cardstock, then used my Paper Trimmer for a nice straight edge across the bottom and fussy cut the rest. That piece of ribbon behind the sentiment is the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon. You should definitely add it to your shopping list!

This pretty card makes use of the In Good Taste DSP. It features the same Sponge Brayer and masking technique as the first card. I used Crumb Cake ink for the heartfelt sentiment. The cardbase is Blushing Bride.

I adhered the Linen Thread using Glue Dots, then tied the Vanilla Open Weave Ribbon (from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack) onto the thread. A few Elegant Faceted Gems complete the card.
