Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans do you have for the weekend? I’ll be working all day then I’m going to a fund raiser for the schools tonight.

Today’s card is a sneak peek of new products that we used last weekend at OnStage. I have quite a few cards that I’ll be sharing over the next couple of weeks. 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 (avail May 5), 1 7/8″ & 2″ Circle Punches and Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Stamp Set for my card today.

Color a panel of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP using Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Adhere the colored panel to a Basic Black mat on an angle. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Sending Salutations stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Punch the sentiment using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. Cut the panel of Basic Black using the 2″ Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment circle to the Basic Black circle mat. Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Sending Salutations stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the small flower image from the 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 White card base.

Decorates a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the small flower image from the 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!!
