Rosemal Reflections Product Suite

Inspired by rosemaling, a traditional folk-art style of painting, our Rosemal Reflections product suite is filled with beautiful florals and brimming with mix and match possibilities! Designed to coordinate wonderfully with our Capsule Basics die, this product suite has possibilities for both A2 and larger 5″ x 7″ card sizes. The stamp set includes a border image that fits wonderfully on the larger oval from the Capsule Basics set (perfect for 5×7 cards), while the floral cluster from the set fits inside the smaller oval, perfect for A2 cards. The same applies for the Details & Jumbo dies. These can be used as stand alone dies, or combined with the other products in this suite. The coordinating embossing folder produces absolutely the most beautiful texture! When combined with the Capsule Basics die it can be used to create embossed panels and frames, making it useful for both A2 and 5×7 card sizes. The mini sentiment stamp set includes a variety of holiday and year round sentiments that are designed to fit on the banner incorporated into the set.

Bitty Holiday Botanicals Suite

You loved our original Bitty Botanicals set, and now we’ve brought that same concept to an equally fun holiday set! Just like the original, this rubber cling + stencil combo quickly and easily creates a whole panel of pretty berries and blooms. The matching die allows you to cut them all out with one single cut, making quick work of turning these background panels into diecut florals to use as accents, on tags, and more.

Diamond Foliage Suite

Much like the Diamond Ribbons die we released to coordinate with the original Bitty Botanicals set, this A2-sized die will perfectly surround the blooms and berries from the Bitty Holiday Botanicals set with leafy foliage. The Diamond Foliage stencil can be used on its own, or combined with the die to add shading to the interior of the diamonds.

Lovely Linocuts: Nativity Product Suite

Inspired by the linocut method of print-making (where images are hand-carved into sheets of linoleum), our Lovely Linocuts Nativity suite features a pretty background stamp, as well as a stamp set and matching die. The background stamp coordinates with our previously released Cathedral die. The single impression rubber cling stamp creates quick and easy one-step backgrounds. The stamp set contains many of the same elements as the background, but broken down into separate images, allowing you to layer images over the background and create layered designs and scenes…or use it on its own to create your own layouts and designs to your heart’s content. The stamp set also includes a manger as well as a handful of sentiments, each designed to fit inside the stable.

I have so many projects to share with you!

First, let’s dig into all of the possibilities of the Rosemal Reflections suite. I could not put these products away…I just kept finding more and more ways of mixing things up and each combination seemed prettier than the last!

Let’s start off with this pair of cards that uses several of the Rosemal Reflections products paired with our previously release Peaceful Doves die and Details stamps.

• This pair of cards uses the Rosemal Reflections items to create both an A2 and a 5×7 card.
• The 5×7 uses the largest scallop die from the Capsule Basics set to create the shaped base.
• The A2 card uses a white card base, which was embossed with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder. While the full design on the embossing folder is 5×7, it looks pretty on an A2 card as well.

Let’s dig a little deeper into some of the details of the 5×7 Capsule card!

• The gold outer border was stamped with the Rosemal Reflections stamp set, and heat embossed with gold powder. Instead of stamping the flowers, I filled in the flower spaces with simple tulip diecuts, cut with the Rosemal Reflections Jumbo die from dark green cardstock.
• The center oval panel was stamped with the Rosemal Reflections stamp set. The cluster was stamped twice – rotating 180 degrees between impressions.
• Use a fine-tip liquid glue bottle to add some glitter to the design.
• The sentiment was stamped using the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamp set, stamped onto the banner die included in the Rosemal Reflections die.
• The Capsule base was also embossed with the Capsule Basics embossing folder to create that pretty embossed border and dots around the outer edge.
• The doves are from the Peaceful Doves die, stamped with the coordinating Details stamp set.

And now let’s look a little closer at the coordinating A2 card…

• The white background was embossed with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder
• The ovals were cut with the Capsule Basics die.
• To create the florals, I started by stamping the floral cluster from the Rosemal Reflections stamp set, and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I then layered the Rosemal Reflections Details dies over the top. Color was added to the blooms by doing a bit of ink blending and also stamping the detail layer for the blooms onto the diecuts.
• Again some glitter was added using a fine-tip glue bottle, and some Peaceful Doves diecuts were added to the design to finish it off.
• Tip – step out of your color comfort zone! I mixed several shades of green, ranging from yellow greens to blue greens and love the result and how elegant it looks!

Next up is this ensemble that was inspired by delft pottery. Again I used the same colors and elements to create both A2 and 5×7 cards.

Let’s take a closer look at the 5×7 card…

• Once again, the card base was created using the largest scallop from the Capsule Basics die and also embossed with the Capsule Basics embossing folder.
• The outer border was stamped using the Rosemal Reflections stamp set and shades of blue ink.
• To create the dimensional floral clusters in the center, start by stamping the floral cluster from the Rosemal Reflections set twice, then diecut the clusters using the Rosemal Reflections die. the clusters can then be embossed using the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder to give them some amazing dimension!
• The embossed clusters were then layered over a white oval that was cut with the Capsule Basics die and also embossed with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder. This step doesn’t show a lot since the stamped/diecut clusters are layered over the top, but it just gives a little more depth and makes the diecut clusters pop up even more from the background, and that embossed banner peeks out from under the diecut one as well.
• The banner diecut was stamped with a sentiment from the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamp set and heat embossed with gold powder for an elegant touch.

Now for a closer look at the coordinating A2 card…

• The floral clusters here were done in the same way as the 5×7 card above…stamped with Rosemal Reflections stamp set, cut with the matching die, then embossed with the matching embossing folder.
• The white oval underneath was also embossed with the Rosemal Reflections embossed folder. This time instead of adding a diecut banner, the sentiment from the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamp set was stamped directly onto the embossed banner.
• To add a little border around the outer edges of the scalloped Capsule oval, stamp some flourishes from the Rosemal Reflections stamp set into the corners. Use a colored pencil and a ruler to connect the flourishes along the side edges.

I also created some super simple (but super pretty!) tags to coordinate. These were as quick as quick and be! That embossing folder does all the work!

• Create generously-sized tags using the oval from the Capsule Basics set that is one step smaller than the smaller scallop from the set. Diecut this oval from an assortment of cardstock colors…I used shades of blue here as well as crisp white and a pretty cream.
• Emboss the ovals with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder
• Stamp and heat emboss a sentiment from the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamp set
• Punch a hole in the top and tie a string
• If you want to add color, you can do so by lightly brushing/ink blending over the embossing. I did that on one of the tags – I brushed blue inks onto the beige version, and also added some shading with colored pencils. I love how that turned out, but I also love the ones that are left plain and the embossing does all the work! 5-10 minutes and you can have a handful of gorgeous tags, ready to go!

Next up I wanted to play around with pairing the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder with the Rosemal Reflections Details die.

• With the exception of the Rosemal Reflections Jumbo die, all of the images in the other Rosemal items are the same, which makes layering and mixing and matching so much fun! Here I embossed a navy Capsule Basics panel using the Rosemal embossing folder, then layered the Rosemal Reflections Details diecuts over the top.
• To give the florals a realistic rosemaling look, add some colored pencil shading – don’t be afraid to mix colors. On the lighter blue stems I used green colored pencils and also a gold metallic pen. I love how it looks like it’s painted!
• To create a contrasting border, diecut using the Capsule Basics die, then emboss the frame with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder and layer it over the navy base.
• The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with gold onto a lighter blue diecut banner.
• Use a gold pen to add metallic accents to the embossed dots that are incorporated here and there into the embossed design.

Up next, one more Capsule shaped card that mixes and matches items from the Rosemal Reflections suite…

• Card formula (from bottom to top) –
  • A Capsule Basics scalloped base cut from mint cardstock, embossed with the Capsule Basics embossing folder
  • A Capsule oval cut from beige cardstock and embossed with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder
  • A dark green scalloped oval cut with the smaller Capsule Basics scalloped oval.
  • A border stamped with the Capsule Collection Floral stamp set and cut with the Capsule Basics die and (stamped just the leaves, omitted the flower step so the diecut flowers would take center stage)
  • Two floral clusters cut with the Rosemal Reflections Details die, topped off with a banner cut with the Rosemal Reflections die and stamped with a sentiment.
• Add glitter and gold pen dots to finish it off and add some sparkle and shine!

While I was creating today’s projects, I had such a mix of things on my desk and had so much fun just layering and building my cards from all of the created elements…the bouquets, the borders, embossed panels, diecut flowers and banners. I just kept layering and finding more combinations!

This next card uses the Rosemal Reflections Jumbo die on an A2 card…

• To further fill out the Rosemal Reflections Jumbo diecut cluster, tuck in a few BotaniCuts Pine Bough sprigs.
• Layer embossing over embossing! The black panel was embossed with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder, as was the red Capsule Basics over.
• The dark green oval just under the florals was foiled using the Capsule Borders 1 hot foil.
• Color was added to the diecut flowers using ink blending. Add a few dots to the blooms using a black pen, and add some colored pencil shading and glitter as well to really add some depth!
• Heat emboss gold onto golden kraft cardstock for an elegant tone-on-tone way to add a sentiment.

This next one totally steps out of my color comfort zone! I wanted to play around with actually painting on the Rosemal Reflections Jumbo diecuts to see if I could create something that really resembles actual rosemaling.

• The Rosemal Jumbo die is sized so that two clusters will fill the center of the largest scallop oval from the Capsule Basics set.
• To create the painted look, I used gauche paints (opaque watercolors), using white paired with a color that was a shade darker than the cardstock I was painting on – so white + dark red for the blooms, etc. Don’t over-work it. You’ll want the brushstokes to show and the paints to blend on your brush, but not mix.
• The Rosemal Reflections Jumbo die includes a “die” that adds subtle embossed detailing to the background. If you click on the closeup photos below, you’ll be able to see it in the black background behind the florals. It’s subtle, but such a pretty touch! Use the “embossing” die along with a rubber embossing mat to create the impression which the flowers will then layer over the top of.
• To create a longer banner, diecut two banners, cut one in half and layer it underneath so that the ends of the bottom layer extend out further. Trim away any excess that shows from under the top layer. I used a darker red cardstock for the bottom banner along with foam adhesive to layer them.
• The bright blue border was cut with the Capsule Basics die and hot foiled with the Capsule Border 1 hot foil.

This next card was really quick to put together…I let that pretty Rosemal Reflections embossing folder do all the work!

• The card base here was cut with the Capsule Basics die and embossed with the coordinating Capsule embossing folder.
• Cut a contrasting border using the Capsule Basics die and emboss with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder, then layer over the top of another embossed panel to create an inlaid look.
• The sentiment here was stamped using the Simple Holiday Mini Sentiments stamp set onto a Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Labels diecut. I added an embossed tile that was embossed using the Shortbread Shapes Holiday Rectangle embossing folder.
• The little bow embellishment was cut with the Market Place Holiday Festoons die from shimmer antique gold cardstock. The card base was cut from this same gold shimmer cardstock.

It’s time to move on from the Rosemal projects (I told you I created waaaaay too many projects with those! I couldn’t stop!

Up next I have several projects using the new Bitty Holiday Botanicals and the Diamond Foliage die.

This first one was pretty simple to put together, yet looks anything but! The Bitty Holiday Botanicals set is really quick and easy – stamp the foliage in a single go, and then just one stencil to add the blooms and berries. And the stenciling is minimal, so it goes quick!

• For a more vintage look, start with a beige cardstock, such as Wafer from Mohawk for stamping and stenciling the Bitty Holiday Botanicals background. The lighter green used here for the Diamond Foliage is also from Mohawk, called Mint.
• The Diamond Foliage die includes some small flowers that can be added to the intersecting points of the diamonds. I added those here, cut from red cardstock, then added a dot of glitter to the center of each.
• The focal point here was created with the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Label die and the Holiday Rectangle embossing folder.
• Use some dimensional adhesive such as Nuvo Drops to add some berries to the embossed tile (I used red here).
• The sentiment is from the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamp set, stamped onto a diecut banner from the Rosemal Reflections die.

Next are some gorgeous Capsule-shaped cards that feature the Bitty Holiday Botanicals and Diamond Foliage backgrounds.

• The Diamond Foliage diecuts here were cut from antique gold shimmer cardstock and layered over Bitty Holiday Botanical panels that were stamped and stenciled onto beige (Mohawk Wafer) cardstock for a vintage look.
• Brush a little brown ink and add some brown ink splatters to further cement that vintage look!
• The decorative sentiments here were done using the Inside & Out Holiday Tags stamp and coordinating die.
• The simpler gold sentiment was done by leaving one of the interior Diamond Foliage cuts inside the center diamond, then stamped the “with love” sentiment from the Simple Holiday Mini Sentiments stamp set.
• The diecut bows are from the Bow Bookmark die. Use just the bow loops to create these short bow tops, and omit the longer ribbon-tail base for a different look!
• The hot foil borders were done using the Capsule Borders 1 hot foil.
• Tip: Use the largest oval and the smaller scallop from the Capsule Basics set to create the reverse-scallop border around the edge of each card.

Up next is a monochromatic card set that I had so much fun putting together! Sometimes it’s fun to get a plan and then just create a bunch of cards using the same basic plan.

• To create the monochrome look, I stamped the foliage using the rubber stamp from the Bitty Holiday Botanicals set onto Wafer cardstock using a different ink color for each panel.
• I then stenciled the blooms and berries, but instead of using ink, I used opaque white embossing paste. This kept my backgrounds monochromatic, but also gave them a lightness and some dimension and texture. The white texture paste shows up just enough to make it interesting on the beige background.
• I then added Diamond Foliage diecuts to each, cut from either a shade lighter or darker than my ink colors. Don’t be afraid to change it up and not be so matchy-matchy. A little variety makes it more interesting!
• I gave each an outer border, which was cut using the largest die from our Sweetest Frames die (I didn’t use the matching stamps, I just used the largest die to cut the wavy borders).
• For a focal point on each I used the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Label die along with a square that was embossed with the Holiday Rectangle embossing folder. I topped each off with a bow from the Sweetest Frames set.

I did also want to tell you just a little more about the purple card from the set because I changed things up a little with that one…

• When diecuting the Diamond Foliage panels, I started with cardstock pieces a little bigger than A2 size, just to make it easier to cut (since the die is A2-sized). This resulted in the background/negative staying intact in the diamonds around the outer edges. I thought this was kind of a cool look, so I decided to use it that way on one of my cards. I adhered it over my Bitty Holiday Botanicals panel, then trimmed off the excess from around the outer edges.
• I also changed up the sentiment on this one – the pretty script Merry Christmas is from our Scripted Sentiments set, cut with the matching die. The banner strip is from our Pretext Banners die.

One more Bitty Holiday Botanicals…this one paired with some Rosemal Reflections goodies too, along with a much softer, lighter color palette.

• To give the Bitty Holiday Botanicals a watercolored look, I inked up the stamp, then spritzed with water before stamping that onto some textured paper.
• The Diamond Foliage grid was cut from a soft green cardstock, as was the outer Capsule Basics border, which was then embossed with the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder.
• The focal panel is a Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Labels diecut. I cut a window using the square die that’s included in that set, and used it to feature a Bitty Holiday Botanicals diecut inside.
• The small flower and leaves used to embellish the top are also from the Diamond Foliage die.
• The sentiment is stamped using Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamp set onto a banner from the Rosemal Reflections die.

And finally, we’re going to finish out today’s post with a handful of projects using the wonderful new Lovely Linocuts Nativity set. Oh what fun I had with this set! You can create some beautiful cards without a lot of effort, or you can go all out. Lots of possibilities with this set!

This first set of cards was inspired by modern art prints I’m seeing a lot of…a block of print with some simple text underneath.

• These cards are 5×7 size. I used the A2-sized background and stamped it onto a 5×7 panel, centering it side-to-side, but closer to the top so that I could add a simple sentiment underneath. I used Mohawk Wafer cardstock.
• I went all-out for the linocut look and stuck to single color images. These were all stamped using Versafine Clair inks, which are amazing for deep, saturated color, and also amazing coverage.
• While each card uses a single ink color, I added lots of dimension by stamping the Lovely Linocuts Nativity background first, then layering individual images over the top using foam adhesive. The individual images were stamped using the Lovely Linocuts Nativity stamp set, and cut with the matching die.
• You can opt to layer as many or few images as you’d like. On the red version I went all out and layered everything! On some of the others I did not add as many, and kept things a little simpler.
• The sentiment used on each is from the Simply Holiday Sentiments stamp set.
• I created matching envelopes by stamping a paif of angels on each flap, along with a sentiment and star from the stamp set. I’ll link the envelopes used here (Amazon link)

Up next is another Lovely Linocuts Nativity card. This time I incorporated the Cathedral die, which is an older die we released quite a few years ago, but I love incorporating things you may already have into new designs!

• The Cathedral die can be used to cut out the center of the Lovely Linocuts Nativity scene.
• I diecut the Cathedral die from antique gold cardstock, and nested it inside the cutout from the Nativity panel.
• To add some dimension, I stamped some images from the Lovely Linocuts Nativity stamp set and cut them with the matching die to layer over the background.
• For the sentiment, I used the banner from the Rosemal Reflections die, stamped with a sentiment from the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamp set.
• Some of the diecut elements (manger, star, and music notes) were heat embossed with gold embossing powder to add some shine to the design.
• Use a gold pen to add some gold detailing to some of the small dots and stars in the background.

And finally, one last Lovely Linocuts Nativity card, this one with a window cut-out on the front with the nativity scene peeking out from the inside.

• Once again I layered individual stamped and diecut images from the Lovely Linocuts Nativity stamp set over the background.
• The sentiments from the stamp set are designed to fit inside the stable.
• To add some greenery, I stamped the leaf/vine images from the stamp set onto green cardstock using dark green ink.
• Add some shimmer and shine to the images by using a fine-tip glue bottle and some glitter.
• The Cathedral window was cut from vintage gold cardstock for more shine.

Whew! I told you I had so many projects to share! I hope you made it all the way to the bottom of this post because there’s more from the team!
