Hi Stamping Friends!
We're just 2 Days away from Sale-a-Bration! All of the fun begins January 3 and runs thru March 31, 2019!
Today, I'm sharing a pair of cards from the elegant Floral Romance suite. You can earn the pretty little Frosted Flowers Embellishments from the suite when you place an order using my January Host Code.

Wonderful Romance Together Cards
The Floral Romance suite from the 2019 Occasions Catalog has a beautiful collection of floral images and pretty colors and textures! It's designed for those extra-special occasions like weddings and anniversaries, and it's perfect for gorgeous birthday, thinking of you and sympathy cards! You'll love the soft elegance! I created a couple of wedding/anniversary cards in a non-traditional, bold color combination.
Background Basics—I started by stamping one of the large leaves images from the Wonderful Romance stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink along the left side of a Mossy Meadow card base. This stamp set is one of the brand new CLING mount stamp sets! What is Cling? Well, let me tell you…you are going to LOVE it!
NEW Cling Stamps—You will LOVE the brand new "Cling" style of stamps! Starting with the Occasions Catalog, all stamps will be either the "see-thru" photopolymer or the red rubber "cling" style. Cling stamps are a new & improved version of the clear-mount stamp that has super-tacky sticker, so they will not fall off the acrylic block. No more worrying about the inked stamp falling off the block right when you're trying to stamp with it. Stampin' Up! has completely solved that problem! Woohoo! Also, beginning with the Occasions Catalog, there will be no more new wood-mount rubber stamps created. I'll have more details about this new stamp style as they become available!
Here's a preview of the Cling Stamps…
Ok, back to our cards…
Pretty Papers—Next, I layered some of the lovely printed vellum from the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper onto Whisper White cardstock to make it pop! That vellum is so stunning! I adhered the 3" x 4" vellum to a 3-1/2" x 4-1/2" Whisper White layer with SNAIL on the center only…right under where the sentiment will be, so it did not show through the vellum. I mounted the layers to the card front with Dimensionals, but I would recommend using SNAIL adhesive if you're going to mail this card.
Sweet Sentiment—I created a foundation for the sentiment by die-cutting a Petal Pink oval using the coordinating Wonderful Floral Framelits. I popped up the oval with Dimensionals. Then, I stamped the Wonderful Romance sentiment in Fresh Fig ink onto a 4" x 3/4" strip of Whisper White, then trimmed the ends into fishtails and attached to the oval with SNAIL.
Finishing Touches—I tied a bow with the Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8" Variegated Ribbon and attached it to the bottom of the oval with a Glue Dot. This ribbon is very flexible, sheer and easy to tie…perfect for a pretty finish!
Inside The Card—I stamped the same Wonderful Romance leaves in Mossy Meadow on the inside, along with some Petal Pink flowers. I also added a coordinating sentiment in Fresh Fig. It's the perfect sentiment for an anniversary card for your spouse!
Two Cool—The second card begins with a Fresh Fig card base and most of the elements are the same with just a few changes.
Terrific Texture—One thing I changed was to add a 5-1/2" x 2-1/4" Fresh Fig panel, embossed with the Lace Dynamic Texture Impressions Folder, to the bottom of the horizontal card. I also wrapped the ribbon around the vellum layers and tied them into a knot, rather than adding a bow.
Sweet Sentiment—Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow this time to contrast the Fresh Fig card base.
