Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you know that today is National Son & Daughter’s Day? I am blessed to have a son and daughter. They have always been the apple of my eye from when they were babies and even now when they are all grown up. I am so proud of them both and the beautiful adults they have become.

I have another quick card for you today using a bundle from the annual catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! thoughtful Wishes Bundle along with the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today

Take one of the 3 3/4″ X 5″ panels of Basic White and score the card front at 3/4″, 7/8″ & 1″. Flip the card front over so that the score lines are the mountain facing up.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White card front to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stamp the large leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. Color the image using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. Using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies, cut a panel of Old Olive using the stem/leaf die and a panel of Wild Wheat using the stem/flower die. Adhere the Old Olive die cut to the top of the Wild Wheat die cut using Liquid Glue. Adhere the die cut pieces to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a piece of Linen Thread around the stems and tie a bow. Add a few 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dots to the card front.

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled path Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the large leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the side of the panel. Color the image using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat then to the Basic White Thick card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the large leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled path Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Thoughtful Designs DSP to the envelope flap.

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