Good Sunday afternoon stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I’m running here, there and everywhere trying to get everything together for vacation. I’m always amazed how I think I have everything I need, they I read the restrictions on what size containers you can fly with and it’s off to writing a quick list and running to the store again. Today I’m sending my husband so I can get things done around the house and attend my monthly meeting this afternoon.

I played with a new Online Exclusive bundle coming November 5th. As soon as I saw this one, I just knew I had to have it.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Bundle for my card today along with the Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Dies and Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. When I took my dog for a walk this morning, on the way back up my driveway I saw that my Hibiscus flowers are still blooming and that was my inspiration to make this card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #657

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #448. The colors sound like some yummy desserts to me.

Start by embossing a Basic White card front using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder. Adhere a panel of Neutrals DSP on an angle across the top of the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. trim off excess using the Paper Trimmer. Adhere the card front panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the large outline 3 flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink. Stamp the largest solid flower image from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Peach Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the medium solid flower image from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the smallest solid flower image from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink over the outlined image. Cut the large image out using the Happy Hibiscus Dies. Using the Greetings of the Season Dies, cut the largest tag die from a panel of Basic White. Stamp the leaf images from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set a few times in Old Olive Ink on the tag. Stamp the outlined leaf image full strength and the solid leaf image in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Adhere the hibiscus flowers to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.

Thread a piece of the new Online Exclusive Gold Twisted Thread (available Nov 5), through the top of the tag. Adhere the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On the panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Happy Hibiscus Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. Add a few of the new Online Exclusive Adhesive-Backed Heart Sequins to the card front.

For the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the larges solid flower image from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Peach Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Adhere a strip of the Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Peach Pie mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the largest outlined flower image from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the large solid flower image from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Peach Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined flower image. Stamp the leaf images from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Old Olive Ink around the flower. Adhere a panel of Neutrals DSP to the envelope flap.

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