Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you have all had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the last weekend of February. Starting today, it’s supposed to start warming up here in NJ. We’re finally going to be in the 40’s starting tomorrow. I can’t wait until we get to the 70’s and 80’s.

Today’s card is a sneak peek of a bundle coming on March 4th. It just happens to be the bundle that Tara and I will be using for our class on March 23rd. Details about the class are below, we’d love to have you join us for a fun event. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Year of Flowers Bundle and Textured Notes Dies that will both be available starting March 4th. I also used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper and Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Adhere 2 panels of Wildflower Birthday DSP to Old Olive mats using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the 2 layered panels to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Liquid Glue.

Adhere a panel of Wildflower Birthday DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the Soft Sea Foam card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Year of Flowers Cling Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Textured Notes Dies. On the panel of Basic White, stamp the 3 of the flower images from the Year of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the images using Lemon Lolly, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the images out using the Year of Flowers Dies. Using the Year of Flowers Dies, cut the 2 leaf dies from panels of Old Olive and Soft Sea Foam and the flower bud die from the panel of Basic White. Adhere the flowers and leaves to the sentiment making a bouquet using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a double bow using White Baker’s Twine. Adhere the bow to the bottom of the bouquet using a Glue Dot. Add a few Blooming Pearls to the sentiment panel. To make the belly band, wrap the piece of Soft Sea Foam around the card base, loosely and adhere it together. Emboss a panel of Old Olive using the Plaster Painting EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the front of the belly band using Liquid Glue. Adhere the sentiment to the belly band using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Year of Flowers stamp set in Old Olive Ink. Stamp 2 of the flower images from Year of Flowers stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the images using Lemon Lolly, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp another flower from Year of Flowers stamp set next to the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink and color the image using Old Olive and Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp 3 of the flower images from Year of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the images using Lemon Lolly, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Wildflower Birthday DSP to the envelope flap.
