Stampin’ Up!’s Peaceful Moments stamp set is perfect for all occasions. This ten-piece set includes sentiments for everything from sympathy, to birthday, to thank you, to congratulations, and friendship.
I know we don’t like to make sympathy cards, but it’s an important card to have on hand, and more importantly, to send.
Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Sympathy
It’s a Mega Suite
When combined with Stampin’ Up!’s Painted Poppies stamp set, your creative choices increase. These two stamp sets and their coordinating dies are part of a mega suite of products that provide the ingredients to create a variety of beautiful cards and git packaging.
The Peaceful Moments stamp set pairs with the Poppy Moments Dies, and the Painted Poppies stamp set coordinates with the Painted Labels Dies. When you purchase the stamp set with its coordinating die, you receive a 10 percent discount on the bundle. They can be found on pages 24-27 in Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2020 Mini Catalog.
But the coordination doesn’t stop there. In fact, the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper steals the show. I think it’s the centerpiece of this suite (even though I didn’t use it on this card). The suite also features Whisper White Seam Binding, Peaceful Poppies Sequins, and the Peaceful Poppies elements.
About the Card
For this particular card (inspired by a host of others found online), I used a Basic Black card base and the Gray Granite sheet from the Neutrals 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper pack. I stamped the poppy image and the sentiment with Black Memento Ink. I colored the poppy with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend and the leaves and stem with the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.
Another of my favorite products (I seem to have a lot of them!) are the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. That’s what gives me the cool, scallop, stitched rectangle that you see in the picture above. I find myself reaching more and more for this fun die cuts.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s card featuring Peaceful Moments, a great set for all occasions, and Painted Poppies. If you don’t need a sympathy card, the Peaceful Moments set provides a host of options.

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Bundle
Flamingos for My Birthday!
I’ve been celebrating my birthday for a couple of weeks now! I received so many fun cards in the mail. This card came from friend and teammate Ginger Borneman. She’s all too familiar with my love of flamingos so she used them for my birthday card.
When I first got a look at Stampin’ Up!’s Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, I knew I was going to purchase more than just one package. (I’m going to have to do some trading to get extra sheets of the pages with the flamingo design!) This awesome paper can be found in the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog on pages 38-40.
But, even though I grew up in and lived in landlocked states, I’ve had a love of everything tropical for a few years. The Tropical Oasis Suite just speaks to me–from the palm trees to the hibiscus to the palm fronds and more–and especially the flamingos.
Here’s a link to see everything that’s included in the suite: https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/products/101023/tropical-oasis
Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Suite
When you purchase the Timeless Tropical stamp set with coordinating In the Tropics Dies as a bundle (you receive a 10 percent discount when you purchase them together) and add in the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, you qualify to receive one FREE Sale-A-Bration item. Choose from exclusive stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, a card kit, a flower punch, and more. These are great items to add to your crafting collection.
Thanks to everyone who sent cards, text messages, and email to help me celebrate my birthday. I’ll be featuring several other cards throughout the next few weeks. I know a lot of talented people!
Thanks for stopping by today. Look below to see a list of products Ginger used to create this card.
