Quiet Meadow Card Project

I mentioned previously that my husband surprised me with the Quiet Meadow bundle for Christmas (stamp set and dies). I found a beautiful “recipe” using this bundle on the Demonstrator site and wanted to share with you.

• This is a standard note card using Evening Evergreen for the card base, Soft Succulent for the card front, and a piece of Basic White cardstock for the inside greeting.
• I first stamped the flower image from the stamp set on the Soft Succulent card front twice using Soft Succulent ink.
• I then stamped the dots and the sentiment using VersaMark and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set the embossing powder.
• I cut two of the flowers from the Quiet Meadow dies in Soft Succulent cardstock and used Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends to color the stems of the flowers and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends to color the flower petals – using the darker Soft Succulent to create darker centers and shadows on the petals.
• I then arranged the die cut flowers on the front of the card and used glue to adhere to the card front. I trimmed the stem of one of the die cut flowers so it wouldn’t be quite so long.
• For the sentiment I used the Everyday label punch and cut one from Basic White cardstock and one from Evening Evergreen cardstock. The Evening Evergreen piece was cut in half and glued to either side of the white label. I then used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the greeting.
• Finally, I added a double bow to the left of the greeting using Mossy Meadow twine and added a Bee trinket above the greeting.

I think this card turned out super cute! Here are the cutting instructions along with a list of products used.

Cardstock Measurements:

• Card Base – Cut one piece of Evening Evergreen to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and score at 4-1/4″
• Front of Card – Cut one piece of Soft Succulent card stock to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
• Inside Greeting – Cut one piece of Basic White cardstock to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
