I'm loving the Stampin' Up Bundles, not only because you save 15% on the cost, but also because it makes creating so much quicker with no tiresome fussy cutting.
The Secret Garden Bundle can be found on p. 17 of the Seasonal Catalogue and comprises a 7 piece stamp set and a 6 piece Framelits set.
I demonstrated 2 entirely different styles that could be made with this Stampin' Up! bundle and will show you the "Vintage" version today.
I started by embossing some PRIMROSE PETALS CORE'DINATIONS card stock with the VINE STREET embossing folder (one of the FREE offerings from this years Sale-A-Bration selection)
Next I lightly sanded it with the STAMPIN' SANDING SYSTEM thus exposing the light inner core of the card. A quick run around the edge with my DISTRESSING TOOL followed by some light sponging with CRUMB CAKE ink and then it was matted onto white card.
I stamped the flower images from the SECRET GARDEN stamp set onto whisper White, then coloured them with a BLENDER PEN and Crumb Cake Classic Ink. I stamped the greeting onto Crumb Cake card then ran it through the BIG SHOT with the oval DESIGNER FRAMES Embossing Folder. This was sponged with PRIMROSE PETALS ink. The side edges are torn randomly, and the top edge is distressed. Can you guess which stamp set I used to distress the flowers? Of course it is my favourite! - FRENCH FOLIAGE. I use this set over and over and really love the versatility for making Vintage cards in particular.
In addition I used an EARLY ESPRESSO STAMPIN WRITE MARKER and a COLOR SPRITZER TOOL to "spray" additional age spots onto the card after it was constructed.
The completed card has SEAM BINDING, CROCHET TRIM, LINEN THREAD, an ANTIQUE BRAD and some hand dyed PEARL BASIC JEWELS.
I really enjoyed making this card and the girls in my class found it easier than it looked. The colour combination is soft and easily distressed helping to create the Vintage effect I was after.
If you would like further information on my classes or techniques that I've used making this card, you are welcome to contact me via my Demonstrator Business Website. Likewise if you'd like to own this bundle you can place your order via the Website and it will be posted directly to you.

How lovely, Ann! Soft, feminine, springy, romantic, GORGEOUS - so pretty! I especially like how you "wove" the ribbon in your flowers!
ReplyDeleteI adore the vintage look of your card. Your flowers look great with the spritzing and I love that embossed background. My favorite detail is your sentiment and the way it's embossed. Thank you for joining our floral challenge at The Perfect Sentiments.
