Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Just a quick reminder that TODAY is the LAST DAY to sign up for my May-August Product Shares. Information is below.

Today’s card is one that I’ll be presenting at our quarterly meeting today. We’re having our meeting a little earlier than normal since Amy, our leader, has things going on for next month. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lily of the Valley Bundle along with the Valley in Bloom Designer Series Paper and the new Online Exclusive Sweet Words and Labels Dies for my card today. All these products will be available on Tuesday May 5th.

Adhere a panel of Valley in Bloom DSP to a Darling Duckling mat. Adhere a smaller panel of Valley in Bloom DSP to a Darling Duckling mat. Adhere the small, layered panel to the layered card front. Adhere the layered card front panel to a Basic White Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic White, using the Darling Duckling and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends Marker, tap the marker on a Bone Folder to splatter ink. Using the 2nd largest Sweet Words & Labels Dies, cut the Basic White panel. Using the largest Sweet Words & Labels Dies, cut the panel of Darling Duckling. Stamp the sentiment from the Lily of the Valley stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the Basic White die cut panel. Adhere the Basic Whtie panel to the Darling Duckling mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cut the grid die using the Lily of the Valley Dies from a panel of Darling Duckling. Adhere it to the Basic White die cut on an angle. Stamp the small flower image from the Lily of the Valley stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Colot the leaves first with Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Marker then go over it with Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker to get Garden Green. This trick to get Garden Green is from Patty Bennett. Cut the flower out using Lily of the Valley Dies. Cut 5 of the flowers from the Basic White panel using the Lily of the Valley Dies. Adhere the flowers to the die cut flower. Adhere the flower over the grid die with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Lily of the Valley stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Valley in Bloom DSP to the bottom of the panel. Stamp the small flower image from Lily of the Valley stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the leaves using Dark Shaded Spruce and Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Darling Duckling mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the small lily valley from the Lily of the Valley stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the leaves using Dark Shaded Spruce and Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Valley in Bloom 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!!
