Hello all,
Welcome to my blog! My first blog post is on the beautiful Stampin' Up!® stamp set, Prized Peony. I hope you enjoy!
This card is from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog (June 2020-May 2021), page 84. The catalog is a wonderful tool for inspiration. I have made a few others using this stamp set as well. Subscribe to my newsletter for the other examples for this set.

This Is What I Used:
The Basics:
- Paper Trimmer (pg. 151)
- Multipurpose Glue (pg. 162)
- Stampin' Dimensionals (pg. 162)
- Clear Blocks (pg. 163)
Paper
- Whisper White card stock (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored in half at 4 1/4) for the card base.
- Whisper White for the first layer, layering frame (3 7/8 x 5 1/8)
- Whisper White to stamp and die-cut images.
Stamp Set:
- Stamp Set: Prized Peony (pg. 84)
Inks: (pg. 142-143)
- StazON Black (due to water coloring the images)
- Poppy Parade
- Garden Green
- Seaside Spray
Everything Else:
- Die Set: Peony Dies (pg. 178)
- Stitched Rectangles (pg. 183)
- Bling (pg. 156-158)
- Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (pg. 170)
- Stamping Sponges (pg. 147)
- Water Painters (coolest things ever--pg. 146-147)
This Is What I Did:
1. Cut and scored base layer with paper trimmer.
2. Used the rectangle dies to create a frame (You will need to use two).
3. Sponged Seaside Spray on the inside layer after the frame was created.
4. Stamped the diamond-looking stamp using Seaside Spray all over the card.
5. Stamped the peony images and the leaves with Stazon ink and let it dry a minute.
6. Stamped the sentiment in the upper right section of the sponged piece of Whisper White.
7. Using a clear block (or you can press the ink pad together to transfer ink to the lid) I padded it in Poppy Parade.
8. Using the water painters I watercolored the peony stamps, not being really careful at all. After it dried I went over the dark parts with a concentration of more ink than water for dimension.
9. Ditto number 8 except with the leaves and Garden Green.
Card Assembly:
- Adhere the sponged base to the center of the card base.
- Using dimensional, adhere the frame being careful to center that as well.
- Adhere to the flowers and leaves.
- Add bling and you are done! With the outside of the card that is, stamp the image to the outside corner on the inside. Watercolor lightly as not to bleed through.
- Don't forget to stamp the envelope!
