Before purchasing the Peony Garden designer paper this year, I never would have thought to combine Petal Pink and Gray Granite, but they are absolutely striking together!! I think you’ll love these 2 card ideas inspired by Leticia and Christy!
Below: the square card is 4-1/4″ square, featuring Thick Whisper White cardstock and a 4″ piece of Peony Garden designer paper with the corners rounded. The beautiful 3D peony flower is die cut with Petal Pink cardstock that has been sponged with Frost White Shimmer paint!! It’s so glimmery and pretty!!!!
Finishing touches for my square card include Metallic Mesh ribbon, Square Vellum doily and Elegant Faceted gems. The die cut for the greeting is from the Stitched Nested Label dies. All products from Stampin’ Up! and available 24/7 in my online store.
While assembling the 4 pieces of the peony into the 3D flower, I happened upon a tip… I clamped the bottom of the flower with a binder clip, and then tucked Stampin’ Dimensionals in between the layers of the flower (from the top). I removed the clip and used a little bit of Liquid Adhesive glue to secure the bottom of the flower together!! It worked like a charm! For more 3D Peony assembly tips, watch my VIDEO HERE.
The 2nd Petal Pink and Gray Granite peony card features a standard size 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ folded card base and a 4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White mat. I decided to fussy cut a piece of the Gray Granite floral paper from the Peony Garden designer paper pack to add to my card. Other features are the Gray Granite die cut scalloped piece, Gray Granite shimmery ribbon and love you inked in Gray Granite ink.
Find the scalloped edge die in the Prized Peony bundle here.
Love You was inked with my Gray Granite Stampin’ Write marker, using the Festive Corners stamp set, and omitting the rest of the stamp. The die cut I stamped on is found in the Ornate Frames dies.
Create your own gorgeous shimmer mist spray by combining some Champagne Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol in a Stampin’ Spritzer. Spray the project when you are done and the entire card will shimmer with delicate sparkly beauty!!
I hope you enjoyed these pretty Peony floral creations!

Patty, The two Peony cards you featured today are striking! I am always name dropping your blog as one of the few I follow when I hold my zoom meetings with customers.
I have a question on these cards; what ratio of shimmer mist to rubbing alcohol do you use and does it junk up the sprayer so it cant be used again.
Hope to hear from you soon. AND, I hope the smoke from the fires in CA aren’t too bad where you are.
Hope to hear from you shortly,
Nola
You are so kind, Nola.. thank you!! I usually fill the spritzer about 2/3 full of rubbing alcohol and then do a “dollup” of paint. Shake well. Shake each time you are going to use it. You can keep using them for years. it goes not gunk up.
The smoke was REALLY bad here for a week, but winds have changed and it’s been better for 2 days. Also hoping that means the fires are getting under control a little more.
Oh , patty , they are so beautiful, Tfs ♥️
Hugs Frenchie ♥️
thank you for sharing these creations!!! they’re all beautiful & must have been an enjoyable class!
