Good Monday morning stamping friends, welcome to a new week. I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I had a vendor event that I was part of on Saturday and Sunday I spent reorganizing everything I brought with me and signing on to our monthly team meeting.

I have another sneak peek for you today or a set coming on May 5th. This is another bundle, although I only used the stamp set to make a CAS card. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Garden Gatherings Stamp Set along with the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper for my card today. These items will be available May 5th.

Adhere a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to a Pretty Peacock card base. Adhere a smaller panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to a Pretty Peacock mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the short vase image from Garden Gatherings stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. Stamp the water image from Garden Gatherings stamp set in Pool Party Ink inside the vase image. Stamp the stem image from Garden Gatherings stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink inside the vase. Stamp the flower image from Garden Gatherings stamp set in Timid Tiger Ink on the stems. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from Garden Gatherings stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere the sentiment to the card front. Add a few Array of Dots (avail May 5) to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Garden Gatherings stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to the bottom of the panel. Stamp the tall vase image from the Garden Gatherings stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on top of the DSP. Stamp the water in Pool Party Ink inside the vase. Stamp the stem image in Pretty Peacock Ink and the flower image in Flirty Flamingo Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Timid Tiger mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the vase image from the Garden Gatherings stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the water in Pool Party Ink inside the vase. Stamp the flower stems in Pretty Peacock and the flower image from the Garden Gatherings stamp set in Timid Tiger Ink. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to 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!!
