Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the long holiday weekend, if you live in the US. This weekend is usually the close to the summer even though there’s 3 weeks left. I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend even if it’s to just take the day off and relax. We had a wonderful time yesterday at the Sunflower maze. Thousands of sunflowers and 2 mazes of them to walk through.. I’ll share some pictures shortly with you. I was even able to bring a few home with me along with a bag full of seeds that I can plant next summer and the following one. I can’t wait to see my own growing.

Today’s card is the 2nd part to the card I showed on Wednesday. You can see that card Here. The card from Wednesday and today’s shows how to used both the positive and negative of a die cut. This is another card we’ll be making at my class on Tuesday night. Here’s my card.

I used the Stampin Up! Quiet Meadow Bundle for my card today.

I started by randomly stamping the type image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Cinnamon Cider card front. I adhered the card front to a petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I had the leaf die cut that I cut our for Wednesday’s card still. From a panel of Basic White cardstock I cut 2 of the dies from the Meadow Dies. I adhered the 3 die cut pieces to the Cinnamon Cider card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small piece of Petal Pink cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I threaded a piece of Linen Thread through the sentiment tag and tied a bow. I adhered the sentiment to the bouquet using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the typed image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink along the bottom of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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!!
