New-Product-Details

 

Seed-packet-frame-2

Garden Variety II is a little set that has a few more "extras" to add on to the original & popular Garden Variety.  It includes an all new seed packet frame (complete with coordinating die, sold separately). There's a small stamp to note whether the packet contains bulbs or seeds, as well as a terra cotta pot complete with a new leaf topper with hydrangeas, sunflowers & roses to fill in the blanks. This topper will coordinate with the watering can in the original set, just as the toppers from the original will coordinate with this new pot. Many fun new options for creating garden themed projects.

The Details: 

  • Garden Variety II will be available for purchase on April 15th.
  • It will retail for $15.
  • Garden Variety II contains a total of 12 images.  The seed packet frame measures 2" x 3".  The "Don't judge each day…" sentiment measures 2-3/4" x 1".  The pot measures 7/8" x 7/8".  The leaf topper measures 2-1/8" x 1-1/4".  The small hydrangea, sunflower & rose add-ins for the leaf topper each measure 1/4" in diameter.  The seeds/bulbs for spring labels measure 1/2" in diameter.
  • A coordinating die will be available for sale separately, retailing for $6.  

 

By popular demand, I've also designed Year of Flowers Titles……an entire collection of titles sized to fit onto the seed packets from both the original Garden Variety and the new Garden Variety II.  It also has one to coordinate with each of the Year of Flowers series as well as the Year of Flowers Collection.

The Details: 

  • Year of Flowers Titles will be available for purchase on April 15th.
  • It will retail for $5.
  • Year of Flowers Titles contains a total of 12 images.  All titles  measure 1-1/2" long.  "Chrysanthemums" measures 1/8" tall, "Poinsettias" measures 3/16" tall and "Roses" measures 1/4" tall.

Heather Nichols has taken some of the popular designs from her Postmarks patterned paper collection and turned them into amazingly detailed background stamps.  The images in this set were taken from a postcard collection she has that belonged to her Great Grandmother. She loves the designs that were included onto the postcards, the postage & postmarks, and the beautiful handwritten, loving notes that were sent to friends and family. Now you can include these images on your projects to add that nostalgic and vintage look. You know a loved on would love to receive a handmade card or postcard in the mail from you!

The Details.

  • Background Basics: Postmarks will be available for sale on April 15th.
  • It will retail for $18.
  • Background Basics: Postmarks contains a total of 4 images (2 background strips & 2 small background blocks).  The background image strips measure about 1 1/2” tall and about 5 3/4” wide. The smaller blocks measure about 1” tall and about 1 1/2” wide.

Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!

Ensemble

For my first project today I decided to put together a little gift ensemble that would be perfect for a gardener or anyone that has a love of flowers.

Card
For the card, I started with a Rustic Cream card base.  The card cover uses Ripe Avocado cardstock, which I stamped with the new Background Basics: Postmarks stamp set using Ripe Avocado ink.

Focal
For the focal point, I started by trimming out a block of Rustic Cream cardstock and rounding the corners, swiping the edge with Tea Dye Duo.  I then die-cut the Seed Packet Frame II from Melon Berry cardstock and stamped the coordinating frame from Garden Variety II in Berry Sorbet ink.  I added a few additional details to the frame using black ink.

Twine & copics
I added the sweet peas image from Year of Flowers Collection to the rustic cream layer and colored it in with Copic Markers.  After adhering the frame in place with a bit of foam tape, I wrapped the focal point with twine and finished it with a bow.

Sentiment
The sentiment was added to a strip of Classic Kraft cardstock.  It is a combination of images from Strawberry Patch & Strawberry Patch Sentiments.  The end of the strip was finished with a little pinking shears detail at the end.

Card down
I adhered the seed packet focal point at a slight angle to help give the card more visual interest.

Basket closeup
For the basket, I die-cut four sides for the Berry Basket from Classic Kraft cardstock and assembled it.  I trimmed a square of polka dot fabric with pinking shears and inserted it into the basket.  I then filled it with some special Burt's Bees products for gardeners, seeds and handmade seed packet sachets, filled with dried lavender & stuffing.

Trio
The seed packet sachets are actually really easy to make.    I started by trimming out rectangles of muslin measuring about 3" x 4".  I stamped each of them with the new seed packet frame using Simply Chartreuse ink.  I then added the various images from Year of Flowers Collection using Moir Palette ink.  I colored the flowers with Copic Markers, allowing a little bit of extra space near the edges for slight bleeding & spreading of the color.

Sachet sides
Each seed packet is backed with some pretty vintage polka dot fabric.  

Roses
I stitched the two rectangles together, right sides facing, leaving a small opening to turn it right side out and stuff it.

Marigolds
I stuffed them with a mixture of stuffing and dried lavender.  The perfect thing to tuck into a drawer to keep everything smelling wonderful.

Sweet peass
I carefully stitched the bottom edge of the sachets closed after the stuffing was complete.

Ensemble down
The finished ensemble is a really elegant presentation that any recipient would be so pleased with.

Hydrangeas Card
For my next project I thought I would showcase the pretty new pot & topper included in Garden Variety II.  I already touched upon this above in the intro, but it bears repeating.  The flower pot in the new set was created with the same exact design as the top edge of the watering can in the original Garden Variety set.  This means this new leaf topper & flower fillers will coordinate with the watering can as well, just as the fillers from the original set will coordinate with this new flower pot.

Hydrangeas
I started by die-cutting the Spiral Notebook Page die from Vintage Cream cardstock.  I stamped the flower pot in Classic Kraft, the leaf topper in Spring Moss and the hydrangea blooms in layers of Winter Wisteria & Spring Rain.  I added a bit of Background Basics: Postmarks using Fine Linen ink.  The edges were swiped with Tea Dye Duo.

Bulbs medallion
I created a small "award-style" medallion with the Buttoned Up #2 die and a 5/8" circle punch.  I love the small little "bulbs for spring" label; it is added with Charcoal Palette ink.  Small bits of Winter Wisteria Bitty Dot Ribbon peek out underneath it.  I also added strips of Winter Wisteria cardstock to either side of the focal pint, stamped with A Little Argyle in Winter Wisteria ink.

Sentiment
I love this sentiment that is included in the new set.  I stamped it with Charcoal Palette ink as well, directly onto the Spring Rain card base.

    I think Garden Variety II is in my future. I think I found a new love! Garden Variety I is also on my list now! With all the new introductions each month, it’s nearly impossible to catch up on all the past releases that weren’t bought. Ugh! What to do?????

    All of these creations are lovely – I so wish I could grow a garden, but we move so often it just isn’t feasible since flowers and veggies don’t move well. I swear I can smell lavender now after your elaborate description… mmm…

    Your sneak peeks are tooooo sneaky! I really liked the first garden sets, but this month’s release is the absolute must have. The seed packet frame is wonderful for all kinds of framing. The pot with the flowers, as well as the flower names with their smaller images will make dynamite background paper. And didn’t Mellisa hit the ball out of the park with her brilliant take on the strawberry and seed basket of goodies. I was going to be so good this month, and now I will be getting way more than I had planned. (I was such a disciplined stamper before finding Papertrey Nirvana.)

    One of the things I love best about Papertrey – and there are so many things I love – but one of the best things is that you continual look for ways to coordinate your products with what’s come before. It makes investing in your line of products so wonderful because I know they’ll be kept fresh both because the design team incorporates so many of the old sets in their current projects and because new sets will coordinate with the old. Well done. Love these new additions to the Garden Variety line up and really love Heather’s new Background stamps.
