Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. We have our in person quarterly meeting today, so that means we get to stamp together. I always look forward to these meetings, since they are always so much fun.

Today’s card is the one I’ll be presenting today at our meeting. I wanted to make it a quick and easy card since we will be making 2 others with this one. We will all be using this stamp set or bundle for out cards today. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Thankful Garden Photopolymer Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Year of Flowers Cling Stamp Set (forgot to add that one in the picture) along with the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle and Spotlight on Nature Dies for my card today.

Using the 2nd largest Spotlight on Nature Dies, cut the center of the extra panel of cardstock for a template. Adhere the Basic White panel to Grid Paper using Post It Note Tape. Adhere the template panel over the Basic White panel using Post-It Note Tape to hold it in place. Starting at the top, add Petal Pink Ink using the Blending Brush to the top 3rd until the desired color is achieved. Add Pool Party Ink to the center 3rd using the Blending Brush until the desired color is achieved. Add Highland Heather Ink to the bottom 3rd using the Blending Brush until the desired color is achieved.

Remove the template from the panel and the Post-It Note Tape. Stamp the flower image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, partially on the colored area and partially off. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Color a piece of White 1/2″ Woven Ribbon using the Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers and set aside.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Year of Flowers stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the smallest circle from the Unbounded Love Dies. Cut the larger circle from the Unbounded Love Dies from a panel of Basic Black. Adhere the sentiment to the Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a knot with the colored Woven Ribbon and adhere it to the flower stem using a Glue Dot. Add a few Two-Tone Sparkle Gems to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Unbounded Love stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Pool Party Ink next to the sentiment. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the flower image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the leaf image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope flap.

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

Tara and I are teaming up to do a Masculine Online Zoom Class on Sunday April 27th featuring the Stampin’ Up! Framed Scenes Bundle. I always seem to struggle with masculine cards, and I know a lot of others do too. We will be making 6 different cards featuring the bundle which is pictured below. I will be adding graphics in the next couple days once we are both done designing the cards.

The class will be held on Zoom on Sunday April 27th from 1pm – 5pm ET.

The class fee includes:

• 6 complete Pre-Cut card kits with envelopes so they are ready to mail when you’re done.
• Full pack of Natural Matte Dots
• Full pack of Linen Thread
• Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
• PDF with detailed directions and photos
• A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

When you sign up for the class, you will see that you can add additional items needed to make the cards in the class if you do not already have them. These items are optional to add on, but we will be using the items to create the cards. We are offering the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Framed Scenes Bundle at an additional 10% discount when you order it through me during sign up.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: $35.00 + $9.00 priority shipping (additional products will be added to the cost for the products) and invoices will be sent out by March 27th.
