Eden's Garden bundle

 

This week I have been playing around with the Eden's Garden bundle.  I last used this bundle just before Christmas and used deep greens and reds.  I was reminded of the set because it is part of the Sale-a-Bration offering! Free with a $100 purchase.  Such a great deal and I thought I would get it out and make a card with it.  Well 4 cards later and I think I have ideas for 1 or 2 more.  The stamps are fun, very soft and airy, but my favorites are the dies! All those leaves can be used on anything!

On this Easter Card, I die cut the largest wreath once from Gold Foil paper and once from Shimmery White cardstock.  I used the Water Painters to add Soft Succulent and Polished Pink ink to the Shimmery White wreath.  The Happy Easter stamp is from the Easter Bunny stamp set, stamped in Evening Evergreen ink.  I added a bow from Crinkled White Seam Binding Ribbon and a little Gold Trim.

For this card I used a Sponge Dauber to add Soft Succulent and Polished Pink ink to the image. I cut the floral image out with a circle die from the Stylish Shapes die set. 

This card uses Mint Macron for the green this time.  I paired it with some Gingham paper from the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper.  I cut some circles using the Stylish Shapes dies in Shimmery White and Gingham.  The 'Sending Hugs' piece holds the flap closed by slightly overlapping the main image circle. 

And another, this time the paper is from the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper.

This next one is from the Annual Catalog.

Sale-a-Bration ends two weeks from today. There are lots of great items to choose from, free with purchase.  click to see the full selection!

Tied Back Curtain Technique featuring Eden's Garden

 

Today I played around with the Eden's Garden collection from Stampin' Up!  This collection is part Early Release and Part Limited Release. 

The Stamps and dies are an Early Release bundle that will be in the next Spring Mini catalog. Yay! So glad that it will be around for a long time!! The Papers and gems are Limited Release and only available while supplies last.  The papers are gorgeous with accents of gold foil. The Gems are iridescent and pick up colors or greens, reds and more depending on what colors they are near. 

I decided to do a fun paper fold technique for my first card with this new bundle.  It's a Tied Back Curtain that reveals the sentiment. It's really easy to do and you can see how in my step by step video below. 

I used Evening Evergreen for my card base and both Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent inks. 

I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen on Basic White, then punched it out with the Double Oval punch.  I punched a larger oval from the same punch in Evening Evergreen and layered the two ovals together.   I added some die cuts from the Eden Dies behind the sentiment to  better pair it with the pretty paper. 

 

 

The 'Curtain' is tied back with some Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon.
