Coordination! That is one of my absolute favorite things about Stampin' Up! I love that the inks match the card stock, which matches the ribbon, which matches the brads, and so on. And, I love that the shapes of certain stamps work perfectly with Punches and now Framelit Dies.
TIP: Did you know that any stamp image in the catalog that has a blue outline has a coordinating punch? And, if it has a red outline, it means that there is a coordinating Framelit!
The new Daydream Medallions and matching Floral Frames Framelits are a perfect example of coordination and used them to put together a beautiful floral medallion embellishment for today's card!
I had some fun with three of the new In Colors: Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, and Midnight Muse.
But, the best part was the amazing look that is created when you stack each layer with Dimensionals! Wow! Each stamped layer, except the smallest, was die-cut with the Floral Frames Framelits. The largest Gumball Green medallion shape was die-cut with the second-to-largest Floral Frame die. The smallest center image was punched with the 3/4" Circle Punch! The floral medallion is topped with a Large Pearl.
And, let's not overlook the gorgeously detailed, texture embossed border created with the new Delicate Designs Impressions Folders. The pattern is so deep and crisp, and it coordinates so well with all of the doily-esque images that are so trendy right now!
I also added some piercing with the new Piercing Essentials Kit! Oh yeah…I'm really going to enjoy using this fun tool kit! The templates coordinate with so many of the punched shapes and Framelit die-cuts that it's gonna be tempting to go piercing crazy! (I enlarged the template that I used with the large scallop Delicate Designs border.)
I finished off my card with some new Midnight Muse 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, and stamped a Bitty Banners sentiment colored with Midnight Muse Marker.
