Rose Wonder Cards and an update
Today I am sharing a set of cards that I made with the Rose Wonder stamp set and matching framelits by Stampin’ Up!. These are the cards that I made with my Stamper’s Club in April. This is a beautiful stamp set and I am so glad to see that it made it into the new 2017 catalog that is coming out in June! In the meantime you can still purchase this set as a bundle (140804) but the bundle option will be going away with the new Catalog. So if you have been thinking about this set – now is the time to get it!
As you can see this set is really versatile and can be used several different ways. The top right card is made with Blushing Bride, Basic Gray and White Shimmer paper. The Rose is cut out using the framelits. The rose is painted using Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz inks with an aqua painter. I love the watercolor effect!
The second card is made using Calypso Coral and Pear Pizazz on Watercolor paper. The Rose with Leaves was cut out and used as a stencil for this card. So the cut image was not glued to the card but used as a stencil to paint the flowers. One of the keys to using Watercolor paper is to spritz the paper with a little water and to let the ink run a little.
The third and fourth cards are made with a layer of Whisper White and Night of Navy. The key to these cards is to use the cut out image and the negative image to outline the card. The blue Rose is colored with Lost Lagoon ink and an aqua painter.

So an update on me – I know that I have been missing in action for the past few weeks. I have been busy getting my house ready to sell and moving into my new place as well as going to Stampin’ Up! On Stage in Salt Lake City in the middle! Salt Lake City was fantastic as always. I am always amazed by all the talented people that I meet each time I am at a Stampin’ Up! event and the friends that I get to catch up with that I have made thru the years!
So I am in my new house and in the process of setting up my new Creative Playground! I am about half way there and still have lots of boxes to unpack! But I am holding my first class on Friday. The best part of my new house is the 1,000 square foot finished basement for Marilyn’s Creative Playground! When I moved out of my Tewksbury house, I had things spread out between 3 rooms! The best news is that all of my hard work on my house paid off. I spent a lot of time painting, replacing carpet and freshening up some of the rooms in my house and it sold very quickly. In the meantime – the cats and I have been camping out in my new place with very little furniture as it was left in the other house to keep it staged. I can’t wait to move my bed over!
I will post some pics of my new space over the next few days as I unpack more things!
Take care and Happy Stamping! don’t forget about ordering that Rose Wonder bundle before the bundle goes away and also stock up on your favorite retiring in-colors before they are gone!

Here are two more Christmas cards made with the set Bootiful Occasions. I love this set with all of the different boots for the holidays. But alas, I don’t have the set.
These Christmas cards were designed by my upline Lynn Thieret for her Stamp-a-Stack class. So which card do you like better?
card was designed by Laura Perriera! This cute little elf is so sweet
The elf’s legs are made with the Season of Style Designer paper. The feet are made by cutting a top note die from Cherry cobbler card stock. The bows on the elf shoes are two butterflies punched from gum ball green card stock. The butterflies are cut apart and layered to look like bows. The bows are made from the silver taffeta ribbon. And to finish it off, the bells are punched from silver glimmer paper using the small scallop punch.
This last card was designed by Deanna Czarniecki who is one of the most creative people that I know!! This card is designed around the Festive Flurries stamp set and matching framelits.
The card base is smokey slate. This card is a gate fold card so is scored at 2 1/8″ from each end of the card base. She layered a piece of whisper white card stock on the inside of the card and stamped the small snowflake in coastal cabana ink.
Deanna stamped the small snowflake with coastal cabana ink and the medium snowflake with smokey slate ink. She then cut these out with the framelits and also cut out a large snowflake from coastal cabana and the medium snowflake from smokey slate card stock. She added texture to these snowflakes with the polka dot embossing folder.
of basic black card stock to 3″ x 8″. Score at 4″ and fold in half. Layer the bottom half of the smaller card onto the base of the larger card, folding in the opposite direction.
With this card, the haunted house which is punched with a circle punch holds the layer closed!
Enjoy your Halloween and don’t eat too much candy!!
The first card is made with Papillon Potpourri stamp set. What a great thinking of you card! This card was designed by my friend Dawn Burke. She used the square lattice embossing folder to add a little dimension to the gumball green background.
This next card was designed by me. I used the Truly Grateful stamp set with the woodgrain embossing folder. I used soft suede ink with a sponge to add a little color to the wood grain background. the second layer is stamped with pool party and the background stamp that is part of the Truly Grateful stamp set.
Next is a piece of Sweater Weather designer paper cut using the labels frame lit die. This piece and the pool party background piece are sponged along the edge with soft suede ink for a little dimension.
I stamped the Wheat with cajun craze and tied a piece of linen thread around the wheat. I then stamped the piece of wood and the chestnut with soft suede ink and cut those out. The banner is stamped with the Gorgeous Grunge set and sponged with the soft suede ink. Gorgeous grunge is a great set to create backgrounds.
The last post will be tomorrow with the last couple of cards!
Want to participate in our spring retreat?? Join my team!! We do a Girls weekend twice a year to the cape and have a great time!! We all learn something new – even us old dogs that have been stamping for 12 years!!
sparkle on the snowflakes. This handmade card is simply beautiful!
This next card was designed by Michele Lacerda. She used the Winter Frost designer paper and the Festive Flurry stamp set with the matching framelits! And what is a card without a little bling? She added the Frosted Finishes embellishments to the center
of the card and the narrow silver ribbon to the top!
This last card was designed by Margaret Galvez. This precious angel was made with a few different punches from the SU collection. Te body is made up of the tab punch, with a circle for the head. The wings are a butterfly cut from vellum!
So cute!!
that all the colors coordinate with the cardstock colors. So no searching for matching pieces. I used Pear Pizazz cardstock and Pool Party to mat my pictures. These are two of the colors that are in the Etcetera designer paper. I stamped the flowers with the Flower Shop stamp set and punched them out with the coordinating Pansy punch.
Happy World Card Making Day!! I unfortunately won’t be making any cards today as I am visiting my daughter at college for Parents weekend. So will be watching football games and enjoying the college life again!
But I wanted to showcase this secret garden card that one of my Stampin’ Friends made a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love this card!
It is a 5 1/4″ square card made with midnight muse and very vanilla cardstock. The flowers are stamped with daffodil delight and cut out with
the coordinating Secret Garden framelits. The leaves are stamped with marina mist. The butterfly is from the Papillon Potpourri set.
The designer paper is Print Poetry
from the spring catalog.
The ribbon is midnight muse.
Enjoy your day!! I hope everyone has a great day and receives a beautiful card for World Card Making Day!
