Project Inspiration: Springtime Blessings Card by Brenda Noelke

Introducing Garden Variety & Year of Flowers Collection

May 14, 2011      Nichole Heady      724 Comments

It's hard to believe that the very last day of the May countdown is here!  Yet just because it's the last day doesn't mean we have a lack of AMAZING products to introduce to you today!

Melissa Phillips headshot
Melissa Phillips & I have collaborated again to bring you an amazing stamp set that is ful of her style and vintage charm.

Garden-Variety-Die
Garden Variety is a set dedicated to the love of gardening. With classic gardening accessories and a customizable seed packet frame, you will adore all the mix & match option available.  The heartwarming sentiments that Melissa Phillips developed as companions for the darling images will be the perfect thing for so many occasions. 

The details.

  • Garden Variety will be available for sale on May 15th.
  • It will retail for $24.
  • Garden Variety includes a total of 25 stamps (1 watering can, 1 stem & leaf bunch, 2 flower overlays for stems, 1 tiny flower trio, 1 pair of gardening gloves, 2 gardening hand tools, 2 small design accents, 1 seed packet frame, 7 seed packet accessory titles/phrases and 7 sentiments.
  • A coordinating die for this set will be available for sale separately for $7.  The die coordinates with the watering can, both tools and the garden gloves images.  The frame in the set coordinates with our seed packet die (details below).

Erin's headshot
Many months ago the talented Erin Lincoln shared an idea with me that happened to tie in perfectly with this stamp set.  

Seed-Packet-Frame-die
She suggested that we have a seed packet frame die that allowed stampers to layer the floral images behind it without having to do any masking.  The final die coordinates perfectly with the seed packet frame stamp included in Garden Variety.  You will love mixing this set with the new Year of Flowers Collection as well as other sets in your existing collection.

The details.

  • The Seed Packet Frame die will be available for sale on May 15th.
  • It will retail for $6. 
  • The Seed Packet Frame die measures 2 3/8" x 3 1/2".
  • It was sized to exactly the same dimensions as our Button Card die, so you can layer one on top of the other if you wish.

Along with the Garden Variety stamp set concept, Melissa Phillips also suggested to complementary dies to coordinate well with it's theme.  

Seed-Packet-die
The first of which is an actual Seed Packet die.  This die will allow you to create a small seed packet envelope out of any patterned paper or cardstock you choose.  It is sized perfectly to coordinate with the Seed Packet Frame die & stamp.

The details.

  • The Seed Packet die will be available for sale on May 15th.
  • It will retail for $18. 
  • The Seed Packet die measures 5-3/4" x 5".  It creates a seed packet that measures 2-5/8" x 3-3/4", which is the perfect size to a hold a gift card or other small trinkets & treasures.

Picket-Fence-die
The second die that Melissa Phillips helped to conceptualize was an adorable little Picket Fence die.  The die cuts three pieces at once.  The first is an entire picket fence shape, which can be used by itself.  It also cuts two straight rails that can be layered on top of the picket fence to make it look more realistic.  The rails even feature small embossed dots that mark the centers of each picket so you can add a brad in the style of a "nail", small stitches or anything else you can dream up.

The details.

  • The Picket Fence die will be available for sale on May 15th.
  • It will retail for $5. 
  • The Picket Fence die measures 2-1/4" x 2-1/2".  It creates a finished picket fence that measures 2-1/4" x 1-1/4".

I have one additional stamp set to introduce today and that is a new version of an old favorite.  We have taken our entire Year of Flowers series from last year and scaled the images down to fit into a single $24 set.  The new version of these blooms is on average about half the size they were in their previously released format.  This new size opens up so many design opportunities and coordination options!  Not to mention, they work extraordinarily well with the new Seed Packet die!

The details.

  • Year of Flowers Collection will be available for sale on May 15th.
  • It will retail for $24. 
  • Year of Flowers Collection contains a total of 16 stamps (1 each of the twelve flowers and 4 sentiments)

Here are the dimensions of each flower in the set for your reference…

  • Morning Glories: 1-1/4" x 1-1/4"
  • Gladiolus: 1-1/2" x 2-1/2"
  • Marigold: 1-3/4" x 1-3/4"
  • Carnation: 2" x 1-3/4"
  • Violet: 1-3/4" x 1-5/8"
  • Mums: 2" x 2"
  • Daffodil: 1-1/4" x 2-7/8"
  • Sweet Peas: 1-1/2" x 2"
  • Larkspur: 1-3/4" x 2-1/4"
  • Lily-of-the-valley: 1-3/4" x 2-1/8"
  • Rose: 2" x 1-3/4"
  • Poinsettia: 1-1/2" x 1-1/4"

I have some amazing projects to share with you today using all these goodies, so let's get started!

Three seed packets
I thought I would start off with some basic seed packets.  With all of the tools we are providing you, these little works f art are super easy to create and the results are always very polished.  The seed packet is the perfect size for a gift card or any other little trinkets & treasures.

Seed packet die
To begin, I die-cut my patterned paper with the new Seed Packet die and adhered it together.

Seed packet frame die
I then die-cut the Seed Packet Frame from Vintage Cream cardstock.

Seed packet frame
After adding the frame and companion titles/phrases from Garden Variety, this vintage style seed packet is coming to life.

Button card
As I mentioned in my product outline above, The new Seed Packet Frame die has the same exact dimensions as the Button Card die.  You can use it as a second layer under the frame without having to worry about rounding the corners or getting it to the right size.

Red coloring
I stamped the mums image from the Year of Flowers Collection with Black Noir onto the button card.  I colored the mums and had to do very little shading since the image is so detailed.

Red packet
When you layer all the pieces together you end up with this…couldn't you just die from the adorableness!

Red closeup
The finished seed packet is so authentic looking, you will want to just sit and make more!  Which is exactly what I did!

Blue packet
Here is one I created in pretty much the same method except I flipped the frame around and stuck to a soft, pastel color scheme.

Blue closeup
The morning glories were stamped with Smokey Shadow and then I added Background Basics: Newsprint with the same color except I stamped off first to lighten the shade a bit.

Green packet
This one was more in the earth tone family.  It showcases how well the Wildflower Garden images can work with the packets.

Green closeup
The fern image was stamped in Ripe Avocado and then I added a layer of Background Basics: Woodgrain stamped in VersaMark.  I added a little postage cancellation image from Postmarks to help add balance.

Grown with Love card
Next, I have a fun little card that showcases how you can use the Fruit Fusion sets with the seed packet products as well.

Focal closeup
I die-cut the Seed Packet Frame from Sweet Blush cardstock and stamped the coordinating frame in Pure Poppy.  I die-cut the Button Card from white cardstock and stamped it with Background Basics: Gingham using Sweet Blush ink.  The cherry image from Fruit Fusion: Cherries was added last.  The sentiment is from Garden Variety. 

Down
I cut a piece of Pure Poppy Bitty Dot paper with the Medium Scallop border die and stitched it onto my white card base to help balance the project.  I just love the way this seed packet frame looks when applied to a card!  Don't you?

Garden of Life Card
This project is a bit on the softer side.  It uses the two hand tool images from Garden Variety, which I am totally in love with!

Stamping flowers
To start the card, I stamped the carnations image from Year of Flowers Collection along the bottom and side of my Kraft card base.  I used Vintage Cream ink for this.

Grey copic
I outlined each flower with a T1 Copic marker to help add definition.

Tools stamped
I die-cut an Angled Label from Vintage Cream cardstock and stamped it with the coordinating frame from Label Basics using Ocean Tides ink.  The hand tools from Garden Variety were added with Smokey Shadow ink.  I trimmed a vellum strip and stamped it with one of my favorite sentiments from Wildflower Garden using Black Noir ink.

Down
I scored the vellum strip to fit nicely over the focal point.  Two vintage cream buttons tied with Rustic Jute Button Twine finish off either end of the strip.

Grow a Dream card
The watering can in Garden Variety is another one of my favorites.  The flower fillers that are included are SO easy to use and provide such artistic results!

Background
I stamped the background of my card with the gladiolus image from Year of Flowers Collection using Versamark ink. I added a strip of Spring Moss cardstock stamped with Background Basics: Gingham to the side and stitched it in place with my sewing machine.

Focal closeup
For the focal point I first stamped the watering can with Spring Rain ink.  I then added the stems in Spring Moss and the flowers in Raspberry Fizz.  The sentiment, also from Garden Variety, was added with Smokey Shadow.

Button closeup
To add a little pop pf Raspberry Fizz, I created this fun zigzag strip with my pinking shears.  I threaded a Raspberry Fizz button with a small sliver of Raspberry Fizz cardstock and knotted it in place.  I also added a bit of vintage book print die cut with the Small Scallop border die.

Down
I love pastel cards that have tiny pops of bright color like this.  They seem so cheerful and full of sunshine!

Planted in my Heart card
This project utilizes the unique gardening gloves image from Garden Variety.

Focal closeup
I stamped the gloves first in Terracotta Tile then added little sprouts of grass with the grass image from Love Lives Here.  The flower trio stamp used is included in Garden Variety and those were stamped in Summer Sunrise.  The sentiment was added with Dark Chocolate and the small heart (from Love Lives Here) was added in Summer Sunrise.  I also stamped the sweet peas image from Year of Flowers Collection around the edge of the card front a bit with Haystack Palette ink.

Down
I created a border with a bit of Rustic Jute Button Twine to finish the project.  I think this would be a fantastic project in a variety of colors!

Bloom Blossom card
My last project for today uses vintage book print in a fun & unique way.

Flowers closeup
I trimmed out a piece of book print and stamped it with the violets image from the Year of Flowers Collection.  I then colored the violets in using Copic markers.  The picket fence was die-cut from white cardstock and I stitched the two rails into place with purple embroidery floss.

Sentiment
I drew a frame around the book print and added a sentiment from Garden Variety.

Now that I have shown you what I have created with these new products, let me show you the magic the team has created with them.

    Totally adorable! I love antique style seed packets 😉
    And the set of all the Year of Flowers is perfect – it was too much of a tough choice to decide on individual full-size sets (can’t afford them all) so to have a mini selection of every flower will be amazing!

    Shut the front door!!!! These cards are just beyond cute. What an absolutely adorable theme. And the seed packet die is my sweetest part of the theme. But my absolute favorite is the mini Year of Flowers. Wow.

    Waited hours for your post, Nicole (checked out the other DT members’ blogs earlier) and I must say you never fail to impress. My birthday’s on Monday so the bf better get me one of these (and the mat stacks, fillable frames, banner builder and perhaps everything else? hehe). 😀
    I have yet to order my first stamp/die (still waiting for cheaper international shipping options. :)) and I can’t wait to purchase.

    Kudos to the team for yet another wonderful release. I love seeing how your company grows in creativity and love. More power to you, guys! ^_^

    I am blown away! I think this is such a great concept, and the designs from your team are just stunning. I myself have a black thumb, but I know so many people who love to garden, that creating mini seed packets would provide many options for gifts/treats for years to come.

    I am amazed, Nichole! This month’s release has really sent me back to my days as a little girl when I stayed with my grandmother and “helped” her in the kitchen and the garden. She grew roses, gardenias, hibiscus and had honeysuckle & morning glories growing outside the screened porch. Her house always smelled so wonderful from the fragrant flowers everywhere. Seed packets stamps and dies are just another layer of memories for me. Sweet!

    Each day of projects gets better and better! I love everything made with the seed packet die. I have always admired the Year of Flowers, too, but don’t have any. Getting them all in one set is great! Lots to think about and dream about with this release! And you have showcased some items from older sets that I definitely need to add to my order! Thanks for all the inspiration!

    Garden Variety and the coordinating dies are fabulous! All the samples are beautiful and my hat is off to Jessica Witty for her fun and especially creative project. I am very excited about the YOF collection. I did not buy any of the YOF sets because I was intimidated by trying to color the larger images since I am a novice Copic user. The smaller images are the perfect size for me and I love how they coordinate with the seed packet concept.

    I am over the moon happy with the seed packet collection products. I know on the PTI forum someone started talking about the possibility of you designing one to compliment the button card. So many of us were waving our arms saying “yes, please”. I just cannot believe we go one that fast! Thank you so much PTI for listening and making our stamp
    wishes come true. There has been a hole in the stamp industries for things like this, designs and dies like this and of course PTI hits it out of the ballpark. Thank you.

    What a beautiful blog post! I wasn’t sure about the Garden Variety stamp set since I’m not much of a gardener, but the sentiments are so pretty and the seed packet dies and frame are adorable. The YOF collection looks like it was made to work with the Garden Variety collection, too. I love these little mini version of the YOF. Can’t wait to color them all with my Copics!

    The year of flower collection is wonderful too. I love the small size it makes it so versatile.

    What a great product line of gardening and flowers. I knew there had to be a surprise in store for us in May and all the dies accompanying the Garden Variety are amazing. I had not expected to want any of the Garden Variety but you and the DT have made me change my mind. And I knew I wanted the YOF: Minis from day 1.

    Me? Not so much…
    She comes to my house every spring and does all my potting for me – 5 pots and 1 window box. Then all I have to do is keep up with the watering & honestly that’s a challenge for me.
    Truth be told, I’ve always had an obsession with vintage seed packets, so I will use this set like a crazy person!

    Oh my, oh my…you have really outdone yourselves today! I think this has to be the best pre-release day ever. I especially like how everything co-ordinates together with the seed packet die, button die, seed packet frame, flowers and on and on. Multiple opportunities to creative abound with today’s sets. Love all the beautiful creations…I am inspired.

    Fresh and fun, bright and cheery ~ lots of goodness this month (again). Being the newbie that I am, I not only see gorgeous samples using the latest release but older sets incorporated as well. I adore everything because gardening and flowers are some of my favorite things. YOF in one set ~ goodness gracious. The picket fence is calling my name ~ can see flowers, birds, butterflies and so much more sitting on the fence. Sure glad I held off on placing my wish list order because that’s all changed now!

There are picket die punches out there, but in my experience, after a while they dull and do not punch out as nicely. With dies, you do not have to worry about that problem!

    The Garden Variety set is to die for. The vintage feel is what made me fall in love with it. The watering can, vintage signage, and garden gloves with matching dies will make darling summer cards. I’m afraid I want it all this month!!!

    Today’s products are by far the most versatile you have come up with to date! I love how every collection in this release coordinates with the others. Endless Possibilities for sure!

    My favorite is the GARDEN COLLECTION of stamps and Dies. I have been wanting to create seed packets forever to put the seeds from my plants to give as gifts. Now all my friends can have hydrangeas like mine!

    My favorite product is definitely the mini versions of the Year of Flowers. I have collected all but 2 of the original sets and will get the remaining two sets eventually. And I will get the mini sets as well. Such an economic way to get all 12 flowers. I can’t wait to try out the suggestion a forum member posted to stamp on the original flowers on the outside and the mini version inside.

    I love the kraft card and the last one too. Jessica Witty’s project is also so amazing, out of the box, and adorable!
