Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. I’m planning on finishing putting river rocks down in my garden that I worked on last weekend early this morning. I want to get it done before it gets too hot. I put 12 – 50lb bags down last weekend, but I needed another 4 to make it look nice and full. 1 garden finished and 3 or 4 to go. My husband is supposed to work on at least 2 of them for me. I just don’t know when they will get done.

Today’s card I played with a die set that I’ve been anxious to play with along with a new set I just got. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Garden Birdhouses Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Picture This Dies for my card today.

I started by cutting a panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper using the Picture This Dies. I placed the die cut panel over a panel of Basic White cardstock and lightly drew the circles in pencil on the panel so I knew where to stamp.

I stamped the 6 images from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White panel. I colored the images in using my Cinnamon Cider, Old Olive and Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Mango Melody Stampin’ Write Marker. I erased the pencil marks from the panel. I adhered the cut DSP panel to the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the panel to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the tree branch, birdhouse hanger, birdhouse, bird and sentiments from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Cinnamon Cider, Old Olive & Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Mango Melody Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the birdhouse and bird from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the front of the envelope. I colored the images in using my Cinnamon Cider & Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Mango Melody Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of the Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
