Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was definitely a hot one here. It’s supposed to cool down to the 90’s this week. How is it by all or you?

Today’s card I played with another new set that I just got last week. I thought I had ordered it with my 1st order and when I went to use it, I realized I forgot to order it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #479.

My design is from the Sunday Stamps X Marks The Spot Sketch Challenge #288.

I started by adhering a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to a Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the smaller wheat image from the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Cling Stamp Set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the panel using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in So Saffron Ink and the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the splatter image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in So Saffron Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, multiple times around the sentiment. I cut the image and sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the 2 panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 3 of the die cut wheat from the Wheat Dies from a panel of So Saffron cardstock. I adhered the die cut pieces to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a multiple loop bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the bottom of the wheat dies using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in So Saffron Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, multiple times on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the wheat and splatter images from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Gingham Cottage 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!!
