Sentimental Park Card Class

Sentimental Park Bundle

Your Weekly Card Class From ME

Welcome to your Sentimental Park Card Class! This week, I am using the Sentimental Park Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. This set is part of the Regency Park Suite Collection, in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. As part of a suite, there are a lot of amazing components that we get to explore…and we did experiment with the Petal Park Bundle just last week!

The Sentimental Park Stamp Set

Just like the Petal Park Stamp Set, the Sentimental Park Stamp Set is also photopolymer. However, this stamp set is heavy on the sentiments! And not only lots of sentiments, but lots of sizes and fonts too.

You will also find some great two-step stamping style flowers in this stamp set too. And who doesn’t love flowers? Another great thing about this stamp set is that it coordinates so nicely with the…

Sentimental Park Dies

I love coordinating dies! I am able to quickly die cut my stamped images for a polished and professional look.

But these Sentimental Park Dies have a secret super-power! There is a way to layer the sentiment pieces and line up the stitched outlines by interlocking them. I shared those details during my live card making class, which you can see here.

Petal Park Love Card

Petal Park Love Card

Join me this week as I take a look at the Petal Park Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. It is all part of my Card Class From ME. If you missed the live video assembly of my card kits, check it out here.

What is so special about another flower stamp set and a punch, you may be wondering. Didn’t we just cover something similar last week?

To begin, this new bundle in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog is a lot different than what we used last week. The Petal Park Bundle is a part of the Regency Park Suite. That means there are a lot more products that coordinate with this bundle! After this week, we will continue to explore more from this same suite next week.

And to get more of the details on how awesome these new products are, check out my post for my thoughts on the stamp set and punch by clicking here.

Regency Park Designer Series Paper

As part of the Regency Park Suite, we have some beautiful 6 x 6″ Regency Park DSP to work with. In fact, that is where my color inspiration came from for this Weekly Card Class From ME!

With solid and bold colors like Balmy Blue, Mango Melody, Night of Navy, Petal Pink, Shaded Spruce, and Sweet Sorbet, I just knew I was going to have a primary color palette for my card bases. So, I decided red, blue and yellow were must-do’s.

Circle Punches Are Back!

As I write this blog post in March of 2023, Stampin’ Up! just released their very first Online Exclusives. These new products will not be in any catalogs, but sold only in the online store. I was really excited to see the 2″ and 1-3/4″ Circle Punches making a comeback!

Now don’t get me wrong, I love my dies. But punches are so much faster and quicker to use. Because of this, I used these 2 punches quite a bit in the design of my first card from this class.

Petal Park Punched Flowers

There are soooo many ways to use the Petal Park Stamp Set and Petal Park Builder Punch to create gorgeous flowers. During my live card class, I shared 3 of them. For this first card, I used Petal Pink and Sweet Sorbet to match my cardstock and chosen piece of designer series paper.

Petal Park Flowers, Option 1

First, I started with Petal Pink Cardstock. By using color cardstock instead of white cardstock, you really get a different look. There are 2 reasons for this: the punch leaves an area of cardstock showing around the perimeter of the stamped area (therefore you see either a white or color surround); and stamping on white or color cardstock effects the way the ink tone reflects on the paper.

For my stamping on this card, I only used 1 color of ink. First I stamped the inner flower of the two-step stamping onto Petal Pink Cardstock using second generation ink in the color Sweet Sorbet. That means I stamped off on a scrap paper and then stamped the second time onto my cardstock. This gives my flower middle a lighter tone.

Lastly, I stamped the outline stamp for my two-step stamping process using full Sweet Sorbet Ink. Now the flower outline is twice as dark as the middle of my flowers. After I punched the flowers out and assembled them on my card, I added some Wink of Stella to give them a little glimmer and shine.
