Abigail Rose Suite Collection
Abigail Rose
I have always loved vintage prints (anything vintage really), roses, foliage and enjoy creating something new with a vintage look. Abigail Rose Suite Collection from the 2022-23 Annual Catalog is just stunning and uses the pale neutral shades and light subtle colors for a lovely collection of prints and images.
The collection includes the Cottage Rose Bundle, Abigail Rose 12”x12” Designer Series Paper, and the Natural Finish 7/8” Ribbon.
Happy Birthday
For my June stamp class, I featured the Abigail Rose Suite Collection exclusively. It is so soft and beautiful, it was an easy choice for lovely projects.
The first project was using the Delicate Detail Treat Box from the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog. These white boxes have an intricate laser-cut pattern that lends them a vintage lace look. Tuck a card or a treat inside and you have the complete gift package!

Friends Forever
This pretty card was CASE’d with a twist from page 56 from the 2022-23 Annual Catalog with a few changes. I have used this technique before with the Calming Camilia post from December 2021. It makes for a lovely pop of white on dark cardstock with any image you want.
Instructions:
I am using the new Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes for the first time and am really happy with the look of the card. Fold and braise your card base at score line then set aside. Using the Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamp the large rose on the smaller Kraft CS card front in different directions.

You Are…
This card features the largest of the dies included in the suite. it looks like a spray of multiple blooms and leaves (see below images). It actually coordinates with one of the sheets of DSP nicely (see page 56 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog for the white card with “Its going to be FAB!” on Soft Succulent CS. However, after looking at the DSP, the Cottage Rose stamp set, I saw that there were few choices of how to use the dies. The stamps have 4 flowers (two stamps) that coordinate, but no leaves. The DSP, you can get maybe 2 cuts out of a 12”x12” sheet and that seems a waste (especially because the backside is a lovely vintage ledger), so I decided to be creative.

Fold and braise Very Vanilla CS card base at score line. Glue darkest 1” piece of DSP to left side of card front. On back side of 1” striped piece of DSP, put a strip of Tear & Tape, then place ribbon, folding every ½” or so. Place another piece of tear & tape on card front, right next to dark DSP strip. Put glue on other side of striped DSP (not side of ribbon), and lay it down about ¾” away from the left side of the card. Press down on ribbon to adhere. Take ledger print DSP and glue on right side of card front, then set aside.
Watercolored flowers & Leaves: For the next step, use the largest die to cut out the flower and foliage pieces from a scrap 4-1/4”x5-1/2” piece of CS (toss out the pieces and keep the base - see image above). Take die cut piece and use as a template over the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, and tape down with Washi Tape. Using your Water Painters and Petal Pink reinker, paint the flowers, putting most of the color on the bottom of each flower, making sure entire blossom is colored. Do the same with the Pear Pizzazz reinker on all the stems and leaves. Set aside until dry, then die cut blossoms and foliage and set aside.
Using the Soft Suede ink and a Sponge Dauber, lightly antique the edges of the card front on all sides. Then stamp the sentiment on the Very Vanilla CS with the Soft Suede ink, then die cut it with the All That dies. Pop it up on the lower right side of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stack and glue the blossoms together as shown or as desired, then glue stems on the flowers. Pop up blossoms and leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown or as desired, tucking some of the stems under the sentiment. Add the Elegant Faceted Gems as desired. Glue DSP to the Very Vanilla Medium Envelope.
