Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Best Wishes Card

I used the Petal Park Stamp Set, the Sentimental Park Stamp Set and the Sentimental Park Dies along with the new Neutrals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to create today’s card. The Petal Park Stamp Set and punch and the Sentimental Park Stamp Set and Dies set will be carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog…good news! But, you can still receive the bundled savings of 10% up until May 1 on each of these sets! The Neutrals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper will be available on May 2 from the new catalog!

I chose a bold diagonal Blackberry Bliss stripe pattern from the Neutrals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack for my card front. I used the Countryside Corners Dies to die cut a white panel and stamped the large multi-leaf image onto the panel in Granny Apple Green ink. I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color in the leaves. The dark shade of a Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blend was used to splatter ink onto the panel. I then wrapped Linen Thread around the panel several times.

I used the small solid and open flower dies from the Sentimental Park Dies set to cut multiple flowers in both Bubble Bath and Blackberry Bliss. For my focal flowers, I stacked a Blackberry Bliss outline flower onto three of the Bubble Bath solid image flowers. These flowers were adhered to the octagon panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The remaining “outline” flowers were adhered around the panel using liquid glue. The octagon panel was then adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used the smallest die from the Countryside Corners Dies set to cut out a sentiment label and stamped the “Best Wishes” sentiment from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss ink. The sentiment label was adhered to the card front and I added a double Linen Thread bow over the wrapped thread.

On the inside panel I partially stamped the multi-leaf image onto the top and bottom of the panel, colored in the images using Stampin’ Blends then used a Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blend to ink splatter the panel. The panel was adhered to a Blackberry Bliss mat then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

The same partial leaf image was stamped onto the envelope flap and colored in. I also added ink splatter to the envelope front. A piece of coordinating designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap to finish off the envelope.

Lastly, multiple pink Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins were added to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of the Deep All Occasion Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and that means it is time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m looking forward to seeing the projects that my team members have created for the Hop this week! If you are hopping over from Terry Lynn’s blog…welcome!

I was inspired to create this card after my husband and I spent this past weekend in the lovely seaside town of Cape May, New Jersey. I created this card using the Beauty of the Deep Bundle and some of our new and returning ink colors. These products will be available on May 2…just a few short weeks away!

We have a theme challenge for today’s Hop…Outdoors.

I started with a panel in Basic White and stamped the coral image two times from the Beauty of the Deep Stamp Set in Petal Pink ink. The seaweed image was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink along the left side of the panel several times. The “sand” image was stamped along the bottom of the panel in Pecan Pie ink and lastly, I stamped the sea anemone image multiple times – also across the bottom of the panel. The sea anemones were stamped in Berry Burst ink and first and second generation stamped to provide some dimension.

Once all of the stamping was completed, I used a blending brush to blend Lost Lagoon ink across the entire panel. When blending ink onto the panel I left some areas lighter and darker than others to suggest light and shadow in the water.

Using Tuxedo Black Memento ink I stamped three of the angel fish onto Basic White cardstock along with the sentiment “hello” from the Tropical Leaf Stamp Set. I used a Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend to color in the white areas of the stamped fish then used the coordinating die from the Beauty of the Deep Dies set to cut out the images. I also die cut one sea bush from Lost Lagoon cardstock. The sea bush…I’m not sure what else to call it…was adhered to the card front on the left. The fish were adhered just above the bush using Mini Glue Dots.

I adhered a short length of Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon to the upper right of the ink blended panel using a few Mini Glue Dots. The sentiment label was cut out using the 2nd to smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies set, then the label was adhered over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside panel, the coral image was stamped in Petal Pink ink and several sea anemones were stamped in Berry Burst ink. I again lightly blended Lost Lagoon ink across the stamped images and the bottom of the panel. The panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

The same coral and sea anemone images were stamped onto the envelope front and Lost Lagoon ink blended over the images. On the envelope flap I stamped the large lacy image using Pretty Peacock ink. Several Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls were adhered to the lower edge of the card front to complete the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog…I hope you enjoyed my card for the Hop today! You can download, save and print a copy of the pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the image below.

Stampin’ Up! Little Monkey – Bananas About You Card

This adorable monkey is delivering a very special message! This card was created using the Little Monkey Bundle (Stamp Set and Monkey Builder Punch) along with some cheerful paper from the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Pack. These items are orderable by customers beginning May 2!

I adhered a Lemon Lime Twist solid paper from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper pack and stamped several tree branches and vines onto the left side of the panel. I used Stampin’ Blends in Copper Clay and Old Olive to color in the tree branches and leaves. A second Designer Series Paper panel was added to the right side of the first panel – this one in a Lemon Lolly and white striped print. The panels were then adhered to a Copper Clay mat and adhered to a card base in Lemon Lime Twist.

The monkey, banana and three banana leaves were stamped onto scraps of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. I used the Little Monkey Builder punch to punch out the monkey and banana. The three banana leaves were fussy cut using paper snips. I adhered the banana to one of the monkey’s hands and the monkey was placed among the stamped tree branches on the card front.

The sentiment “I’m bananas about you” was stamped onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Old Olive ink and I die cut the sentiment label using the 2nd to smallest square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set. The fussy cut banana leaves were adhered behind the top of the sentiment label and the sentiment label was adhered to the lower right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A single Linen Thread bow was adhered just above the sentiment label.

On the inside panel the hanging monkey was stamped onto the top of the panel. The image was colored in using Stampin’ Blends. I also stamped several vines around the monkey using Old Olive ink. The panel was adhered to a Copper Clay mat and this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

Another monkey and banana were stamped onto the envelope front and colored. A piece of coordinating designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and the excess paper was trimmed away from the flap. Several Copper Clay Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems were adhered to the card front to finish off the card.

Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Birthday Card – Sneak Peek! Quick & Easy Card!

I created this fun birthday card in a matter of minutes using the Circle Sayings Bundle which includes a stamp set and a 2-3/8″ circle punch! I used the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper for my background which includes a lot of the new and returning colors!

I started off by using the circle punch to punch out two circles in Basic White cardstock. Then punched additional circles – one from Pretty Peacock cardstock and another from Berry Burst cardstock. Using the stamps from the Circle Sayings Stamp Set, I stamped the “Celebrate” circle sentiment onto one of the white circles using Berry Burst ink. On the same circle, I stamped the “today” sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink. On the second white circle I stamped the cupcake image using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and I used Stampin’ Blends in Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly to color in the cupcake image. A Stampin’ Blend Color Lifter was used to lift a few highlights on the cupcake.

The white, stamped circles were matted to the Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock circles leaving a small reveal of these colors at the bottom of the white circles. A multi-color star print pattern was chosen from the Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Pack. The paper was cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ and adhered to the Berry Burst card front. The sentiment circle was adhered to the upper right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the cupcake circle was adhered to the lower left of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The “Happy Birthday” sentiment was stamped onto the inside panel using Pretty Peacock ink and I stamped the cupcake image on the lower right of the panel and colored in the image using Stampin’ Blends. The panel was adhered to a Pretty Peacock mat, then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

The same cupcake image was stamped onto the envelope front and colored in. I added a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap and trimmed away the excess paper from the flap to finish off the envelope. A double bow in Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon was added to the card front using a Mini Glue Dot and I added multiple Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front. This completes this fun and easy card! So simple and such uplifting images!

We are enjoying some exceptionally fine weather in the Mid-Atlantic these last few days! As I’m writing this blog post this morning (my posts are written one day ahead of time) I am sitting by my back door listening to all of the birds singing and sipping my coffee.

Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Birthday Card – Sneak Peek!

The Zany Zoo Bundle and the Zoo Crew 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper pack were used to create today’s sneak peek of upcoming products! I also used a returning color on this card – Lost Lagoon – and a new color – Lemon Lolly! Any little ballerina would love to receive this birthday card! Who wouldn’t love a dancing cat complete with tutu?

A note about the Zoo Crew 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper – You have to see this paper up close! The pack contains two 12″ x 12″ sheets of six different designs (for a total of 12 sheets). There are: 1) zoo critters rolling on skates, skooters and bicycles, 2) zoo critters partying, 3) zoo critters pursuing hobbies such as cooking, reading and painting, 4) zoo critters playing musical instruments or singing, 5) zoo critters dancing, and 6) zoo critters pursuing outdoor activities such as hiking and bird watching. The reverse side of all the papers, or the B Side as I like to call it, are all black and white patterns – so great for use on other cards or scrapbooking projects! You have to see this paper up close to really appreciate how fun it is! Of course the Zany Zoo Bundle includes adorable images and the Zany Zoo Dies will cut out select critters from the designer series paper!

I started by adhering a black and white patterned paper from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper pack to a mat in Pool Party. This unit was then adhered to the front of a card base in Lost Lagoon (returning color!).

From the Zoo Crew paper pack, I cut out the dancing cat, complete with tutu, using the coordinating die from the Zany Zoo Dies set. I used the dark shade of a Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend to color in the cat’s tutu and ballet shoes. I used a Lemon Lolly (new color!) Stampin’ Blend to color in the center of the flower on the cat’s tutu. I used the 2″ Circle Punch to punch out a circle from Lemon Lolly cardstock and adhered the dancing cat to the circle. She’s in the spotlight, after all!

Using dies from the Zany Zoo Dies set, I cut out two curtains and one valance using the scalloped die provided in the set. I also cut out two banners from included dies – one in Basic White and one in Lost Lagoon. I adhered the curtains to the back of the valance. The “Happy Birthday to You” sentiment was stamped in Lost Lagoon ink onto the white die cut banner. I adhered the Lost Lagoon banner behind the white sentiment label and dropped it down a little to reveal some of the Lost Lagoon. The curtain and valance unit was adhered to the card front. The dancing cat and circle were adhered between the curtains using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I double bow was tied from white Baker’s Twine and adhered onto the upper right corner of the card front using a Mini Glue Dot. I double stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals onto the sentiment label and adhered it over top of the bow.

For the inside panel, I stamped an additional sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink and stamped confettie around the top of the panel using Pool Party ink. I also adhered a strip of coordinating designer series paper to the bottom of the panel. The panel was adhered to a mat in Pool Party then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

To finish up the card I adhered several Lemon Lolly Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front. How adorable is this stamp set and dies? So cute!

Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Get Well Card – Sneak Peek!

I have another sneak peek for you from the upcoming 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! I used the versatile Seasonal Branches Bundle to create my card for today. The Seasonal Branches Bundle (stamps and dies) contains images that will take you from Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall…how fun!

Using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, I embossed a white panel then matted this panel to a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock. A small rectangle sky-looking print measuring 4-1/4″ x 1-1/2″ from the Fresh as a Daisy 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper pack was then matted to another piece of Pecan Pie cardstock measuring 4″ x 2″. The panels were offset to one another and adhered towards the top of the white embossed panel.

Using the flower cluster stamp from the Seasonal Branches Stamp Set, I stamped the image in Bubble Bath ink onto white cardstock. I used the dark shade of Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blen d to flick some darker color onto each flower petal and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend was used to create dots at the centers of each flower. I also stamped and die cut some single flowers in Bubble Bath on white cardstock and die cut. These single flowers were colored the same way with Stampin’ Blends. A large tree branch was cut from Pecan Pie cardstock as were some small leaves cut from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock.

The die cut tree branch was adhered to the offset rectangles on the embossed panel and I carefully adhered the die cut flower cluster over the tree branch using Mini Glue Dots. The single flowers were adhered around the tree branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also adhered some of the small Lemon Lime Twist leaves to the tree branch and curled up the tips of the leaves to add some dimension. FYI – Lemon Lime Twist makes for a fantastic spring green!

A sentiment was stamped in Pecan Pie ink onto a coordinating piece of DSP and matted to a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock. The sentiment label and its mat are also offset and mimic the rectangles at the top of the card! A single flower and leaves were adhered to the upper corner of the sentiment label and the label was adhered to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A length of Lemon Lime Twist ribbon was wrapped around the right side of the embossed panel and I tied a bow. The embosed and matted panel was adhered to the front of a Boho Blue cardbase.

On the inside panel I stamped a get-well sentiment using Pecan Pie ink. The tree branch, flowers and leaves were stamped onto the lower left corner of the panel and I adhered several additional die cut leaves around the branch. The panel was adhered to a mat in Pecan Pie and then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

The same tree branch, flowers and leaves were stamped onto the envelope front and a coordinating piece of designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap. The card front was adorned with several blue Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

I can tell you that I will be using the Seasonal Branches Bundle quite a bit just because there are so many possibilities with the set! You might want to add this one to the top of your shopping list!

Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days Welcome Card Sneak Peek!

Here is a sneak peek of a card created using the Lazy Days Bundle, Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the 2023-2025 In Color Dots from the upcoming 2023-2024 Annual Catalog which will be available for customer orders beginning on May 2!

You can almost feel the cool shade from this front porch scene! The Lazy Days Bundle has a number of images that you can stamp and die cut to create your own scene. I had loads of fun creating this card!

I started by die cutting the porch post and trim piece from white cardstock. I then used a Balmy Blue and Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends to color in the porch post and a portion of the trim. FYI – the new “blues” combined with our existing shades of blue coordinate beautifully together!

The porch post and trim were then adhered to a wide striped panel in Misty Moonlight from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper Pack. I turned the panel so that the wide white strip was on the bottom of this landscape card. The white will serve as the porch for our little scene. I used a pair of paper snips to trim off the excess of the trim die cut flush with the designer series paper panel. The panel was then adhered to the card front.

I then stamped, colored and die cut a hanging basket, rug, potted plant and birdhouse. The hanging basket, potted plant and birdhouse were all stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The rug was stamped using Night of Navy ink. I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to color in the images including Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, Copper Clay with some assistance from a Stampin’ Blend Color Lifter. One climbing vine was die cut from a scrap of Garden Green cardstock and one rocking chair was cut from Pecan Pie cardstock. For the rocking chair I used the dark shade of the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend to darken just the frame of the rocking chair.

The die cut images were then adhered to the card front using either liquid glue or Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The potted plant image was also stamped on the Inside Panel and envelope front and colored in using Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends for the leaves and Pecan Pie and Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends for the planter.

To finish up the card a piece of coordinating designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap.

I hope you’re enjoying these sneak peeks of some of the new products coming soon! You’re going to love them all!

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Book Fold Birthday Card Sneak Peek!

The Cheerful Daisies Bundle along with the Fresh as a Daisy 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper from the upcoming 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is exactly that…Cheerful! I had so much fun playing with this set!

The small Daisy detailed stamp was second-generation stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Pebbled Path ink (Pebbled Path is one of the new 2023-2025 In Colors). I also stamped several leaves in Garden Green ink onto Garden Green cardstock as well as one Daisy stem. Coordinating dies from the Cheerful Daisies Dies set were used to cut out these images along with an embossed Basic White daisy cut out which was layered on top of the stamped Daisy. The thin branch image was die cut from Copper Clay cardstock (also one of the new 2023-2025 In Colors).

I used the Bubble Bath Daisy print from the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper for my card front. I second panel from the same sheet of DSP in a white and Crushed Curry stripe was used on the spine of the Book Fold. The DSP Panels were adhered to Copper Clay mats, then adhered to the front of a Garden Green card base.

Copper Clay Textured Ribbon was wrapped vertically around the spine of the book bold and the ends were adhered to the inside of the spine using Tear & Tape. I then glued the spine together to form the book fold. A knot from the same ribbon was added to the strip of ribbon using a Mini Glue Dot.

The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Crushed Cury ink and I used the sentiment label die from the Cheerful Daisies Dies set to cut the label out. The die cut branch image was first adhered to the card front. The Daisy and stem were adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The leaves were then tucked under the stem and adhered using liquid glue. The Crushed Curry Daisy center was stamped onto white cardstock, fussy cut, and adhered to the center of the Daisy using a Stampin’ Dimensional. The sentiment label was adhered towards the bottom of the card front using Stampin Dimensionals.

On the inside panel I second-generation stamped the small Daisy onto the lower right in Pebbled Path ink, and the center of the Daisy was stamped in Crushed Curry Ink. I stamped an additional Daisy onto a Post It Note and fussy cut around the lower petals to create a mask. I adhered the fussy cut Daisy over the stamped Daisy on the panel, then stamped the Daisy stem in Garden Green. Several leaves were also stamped along the stem. The panel was adhered to a Copper Clay mat, then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

I used the light shade of a Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend to add just a bit of color to the die cut Daisy on the card front as well as the stamped Daisies (another great new color, by the way). Several 2023-2025 In Color Dots were added to the card front and a piece of coordinating designer series paper was added to the envelope flap. The same small Daisy was stamped onto the envelope front.

The new 2023-2025 In Colors are very muted earth tones…they are absolutely gorgeous! I can already tell that Copper Clay is going to be one of my new favorites…it’s a beautiful reddish brown! I’m an earth tones girl!

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peak of the Cheerful Daisies Suite and some of the new colors! I can’t wait for you all to get your hands on these new products!

Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora Center Pop Out Wedding or Anniversary Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and that means it is time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m looking forward to seeing the projects that my team members have created for the Hop this week! If you are hopping over from Terry Lynn’s blog…welcome!

I used the Two-Tone Flora Bundle and the pretty Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to create my card for the Hop today! The card fold is a CASE from my friend, Mary with Stamps-N-Lingers.

We have a color challenge this week! I used Calypso Coral, Balmy Blue, Soft Succulent and Orchid Oasis.

To create the card base I cut a piece of Calypso Coral to 11″ x 4-1/4″ and scored on the long edge at 2-1/4″, 3-5/8″, 7-3/8″ and 8-3/4″. The two outer score lines are valley folds and the two center score lines are mountain folds. I used my bone folder to burnish all of the score lines.

I cut a center panel measuring 4″ x 3-1/2″ from a piece of Soft Succulent patterned paper from the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper pack. This panel was matted to a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock measuring 4-1/8″ x 3-5/8″. I also cut two side panels measuring 4″ x 2″ from a pretty Calypso Coral flowered print – also from the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper pack. The side panels were adhered to Orchid Oasis mats measuring 4-1/8″ x 2-1/8″. The panels were then adhered to the card front.

Using a scrap piece of Balmy Blue cardstock, I stamped the large leaf image from the Two-Tone Flora Stamp Set twice using Balmy Blue ink. The coordinating dies from the Two-Tone Dies set was used to cut out the images. Two medium-sized flowers were stamped onto Balmy Blue cardstock using Orchid Oasis ink. The fill for the flower was second-generation stamped and then the detailed image was first-generation stamped over the fill area – also in Orchid Oasis ink. The images were cut out using the coordinating die from the Two-Tone Flora Dies set.

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy Stamp Set, was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto a scrap of Soft Succulent cardstock then die cut using the small tag from the Something Fancy Dies. A second, larger tag was die cut from Orchid Oasis cardstock and the sentiment label was adhered to the larger label. The flowers and leaf sprigs were dry fit onto the center panel of the card, then adhered using liquid glue. The sentiment label was adhered to the center panel at an angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Aren’t these colors pretty together?

To allow for a personal, hand-written sentiment a white center panel was added to the back of the card. I stamped the sentiment “Congratulations” in Orchid Oasis ink onto the panel and also added a stamped flower to the lower left of this panel – also in Orchid Oasis. The panel was matted to a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock, then adhered to the back of the card.

I tied a triple bow using Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon and adhered the bow to the top of the sentiment tag using a Mini Glue Dot. Several silver Festive Pearls were also added to the card front. The envelope was decorated with a stamped flower image on the front and a piece of coordinating Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Mother’s Day Card

The Marigold Moments Stamp Set and Marigold Moments Dies were used to create today’s card along with Vellum Basics 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. All of the products used on my card today are retiring with the exception of the Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper. Be sure to check out the link further down this post for the Last Chance Products sale where you can grab up these items!

I started off by stamp the large Marigold cluster onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. The fill image of the Marigolds was stamped using Pale Papaya ink and the detail fill was stamped using Mango Melody ink. I used the coordinating die from the Marigold Moments Dies set to cut out the image. Using the leaf and stem die from the same set, I cut three sets of leaves from Evening Evergreen cardstock.

The Marigold image and leaves were arranged on a dotted piece of Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper measuring 5″ x 3-3/4″. The flowers and leaves were placed on the upper two-thirds of the vellum panel. Once I was satisfied with the placement, I first glued down the flower cluster, then glued the stems with leaves, making sure to tuck the stems under the flowers.

The “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink onto a Soft Succulent sentiment label. The label was adhered to a mat in Evening Evergreen. Who else is going to miss the pretty combination of Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent? I know I will…these colors are so pretty together! The sentiment label was adhered onto the lower third of the vellum panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Turning the vellum panel over to the back side, I placed glue only on the areas covered by the flowers, leaves and sentiment label to prevent the glue from showing through the vellum. The vellum panel was adhered to the front of a Soft Succulent card base and I was careful to center the panel from top to bottom and left to right.

On the inside panel, I stamped a single marigold blossom and stem – using Pale Papaya and Mango Melody for the flower and Evening Evergreen for the stem and leaves. The panel was adhered to an Evening Evergreen mat then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card. The same single flower and stem was also stamped onto the envelope front.

To finish up the card, I cut two lengths of Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon and tied a bow. The bow was adhered to the lower left of the flower cluster on the card front using a Mini Glue Dot. Multiple white Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems were adhered to the card front.
