Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s the last day of the month, so I’ll be in the office working today.
Today’s card was a request by a coworker. He saw the card I had made my neighbor and asked if he could get one like that for his wife. His only request was that it had purple and sunflowers on it. Here’s what I came up with.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Bundle, the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Amazing Phrasing Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.
I started by using my Blending Brushes and added Pool Party and Granny Apple Green Inks to a Basic White card front. I used the largest Stitched With Whimsy Dies to add the stitching around the card front. I adhered the card front to a Gorgeous Grape card base using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the 2 gnome images from the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. On the same panel, I stamped the pumpkin image, floral image and the small sunflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from Hello Harvest stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the Basic White panel.
I colored the images in using my Stampin’ Blends Markers. All colors used are listed in the supply list below. I cut all the images out using my Gnomes Dies and Rustic Pumpkin Dies. I cut the grass die from the Gnomes Dies from a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered the grass to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut images on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Gorgeous Grapes Glossy Dots to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the gnome image from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White Panel. I stamped the sunflower floral image from the Hello Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above the gnome image. I colored the images using my Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiments from the Sale-a-bration Amazing Phrasing stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the panel. This set is available FREE with a qualifying purchase. I used the largest die from the Stitched White Whimsy Dies to add the stitching around the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat and then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the gnome image from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set on the envelope front and the small sunflower image from the Hello Harvest stamp set on the envelope flap. I colored the images the same as I did for the card using my Stampin’ Blends Markers.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
