Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Sending Hugs Card

Today’s card blends the old with the new. The Layering Leaves Stamp Set and Bough Punch will be carrying forward in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog (yay!) and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and Unbounded Beauty 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper which were used on this card are new items which will be available on May 1!

I chose a multi-colored piece of the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper for this card front. The “Sending Hugs” sentiment was stamped directly onto a panel of this designer series paper, then the panel was adhered to a Shy Shamrock mat, then I adhered this to the card front. The Stylish Shapes Dies were used to cut the white circle, then I used the lovely Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the circle. The circle was then adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Several leaf and flower images were stamped onto white cardstock in Shy Shamrock, Pretty in Pink, and Petunia Pop inks (all new In Colors!) then I used the Bough Punch to punch out the images. The leaves and flowers were arranged then adhered to the embossed circle.

On the inside panel I stamped an additional sentiment, then stamped the leaf and flower images onto the lower left corner of the panel in Shy Shamrock and Petunia Pop. The panel was adhered to a Shy Shamrock mat, then adhered to the inside of the card.

I repeated stamped of the leaf and flower images onto the envelope front and a piece of coordinating designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap. A white Baker’s Twine double bow was adhered to the cvard front, just at the base of the leaf and flower stems and several Petunia Pop 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots were added to the embossed circle to finish up the card.

The Layering Leaves Stamp Set and Bough Punch make quick work in creating a pretty card! If you would like to recreate this card for yourself you can download, save and print the pdf tutorial by clicking on the image below. Enjoy!
