Welcome to Birdwing Paper Designs and the Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. Today we are showcasing the Ornate Garden Suite Collection again and offering up some more inspiration for you! In case you missed the first blog hop using these products, you can visit my post here.

The early release of the Ornate Garden Suite (#154153) is available to customers April 1-May 31, 2020. This brand new 2020–2021 Annual Catalog product suite is available for early purchase to give everyone a first glance at the look and feel of the new catalogue.

For this round of projects, I decided to take a few colours from the collections colour palette (Old Olive, Terracotta Tile) and add a few additional colours to it (Petal Pink, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight). I also wanted to highlight the beautiful stamps in the Ornate Style stamp set.

The first card was a fairly simple card with a repeating background stamp in different colours. The large framed greeting from Ornate Thanks became the focal point and was embellished with the DSP, Gold Gilded Gems, and Terracotta Tile Ribbon.

The second card also involved repeating elements, but this time it was lots of small flowers. The flowers were all coloured with the Stampin’ Blends in Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party, and Daffodil Delight. A few flowers were fussy cut, trimmed with gilded gems, and popped up with Dimensionals. The greeting has a pretty, soft, Vellum frame behind it and is once again finished off with the Terracotta Tile ribbon.

The final card highlighted the gorgeous, large floral stamp from Ornate Style. It was coloured using the same Stampin’ Blends as the previous card. I love the Ornate Floral embossed paper peaking from behind, and the edges of the Whisper White paper finished off with one of the Ornate Borders Dies.

This suite is great for all skill level of crafters as you can add a few stamps and layers to keep it simple or add lots of frames, borders, embellishments and colours to take it over the top!

The Ornate Garden Suite products are available beginning April 1, 2020, but it is a limited-time, early release. Order these products today and get ready to craft for Mother’s Day!!
