Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. We’re having such a great time here in Long Beach at OnStage. The weather is beautiful, even though we’re inside most of the day. We’ve had a couple team dinners that always have a lot of laughing and chatting going on. We’ve been on the go since Thursday afternoon. Getting to see the new catalog was awesome and all the new products coming. I just love the new layout of the catalogs that we’re going to have.

Today’s card is one that we made during our Stamping Studio with Jaimie Tuesday night for mystery stamping. Jaimie sent us measurements and walked us through putting the card together. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Garden Bundle along with the Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper and Garden Textures Specialty Foil Sheets for my card today.

Emboss a panel of Shaded Spruce using the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder. Adhere the embossed panel to the card front.

Adhere the panel of Garden Poetry DSP to the panel of Garden Textures Foil Paper. Wrap a piece of Linen Thread around the panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to the left edge of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the leaf image from the Paradise Garden stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. Stamp the small flower image from the Paradise Garden stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink 2 times. Cut the images out using the Paradise Garden Dies. Adhere the small flowers to the leaf image. Adhere the leaf image to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Paradise Garden stamp set on the Basic White panel in Blueberry Bushel Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Paradise Garden Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Garden Epoxy Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Paradise Garden stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the leaf image from the Paradise Grden stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, on the top of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

Decorate a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the leaf image from the Paradise Garden stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. Stamp the small flower image from the Paradise Garden stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink around the leaf image. Adhere a panel of Garden Poetry 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!!
