Good Saturday morning stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. It’s a working day for me again.

Today’s card is another sneak peek of products coming May 5th. This is another card we made at OnStage. We were supposed to make 2 of the same cards, but those that now me, I don’t make any 2 cards the same, so I had to change mine up a little. Here’s my card for today.

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Sending Salutations Stamp Set (avail May 5) along with the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper (aval May 5), 1 7/8″ & 2″ Circle Punches, Stampin’ Up! Notes & Totes Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Stamp Set for my card today.

Color the images on the panel of Artisan Sketched Garden DSP using Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the panel into 2 – 1 1/2″ x 3 5/8″ and 1 – 1 3/4″ x 3 5/8″ panels.

Adhere the 2 – 1 1/2″ panels to the sides of the Basic Black mat. Adhere the 1 3/4″ panel to the separate Basic Black mat. Adhere the layered panel to the center of the Basic Black mat with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the layered panel to the Basic White card base.

Stamp the sentiment from Sending Salutations stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Punch the sentiment out with the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. Using the 2″ Circle Punch, cut the panel of Basic Black. Adhere the sentiment circle to the Basic Black circle mat. Tie a large bow with the Bubble Bath 1/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon and adhere it to the card front. Adhere the layered sentiment over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Notes & Totes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the large flower image from Gallery Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the larger flower image from Gallery Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap. Color the images using Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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