Good Monday morning stamping friends, welcome to a new week. How was your weekend? We had a hot & humid one here yesterday and no rain. We’ve been getting a lot of storms the past week so it was nice to have a break from them.

I played with one of my favorite suites from the upcoming catalog for today’s card. I’m hoping to post information about my Class by Mail this week sometime using this suite of products. 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 new Stampin’ Up! Radiant Sunflowers Bundle along with the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper (both available September 1) and the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Emboss a panel of Daffodil Delight Two-Tone cardstock using the Sunflower EF. Brush over the embossed panel using the Sanding Block (available Sept 1). Adhere the embossed panel to an Early Espresso card base.

Adhere a panel of Sunflower Fields DSP to a n Eary Espresso mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Radiant Sunflowers Dies. Adhere a piece of the Mossy Meadow/Very Vanilla 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon (available Sept 1) to the card front. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Radiant Gems (available Sept 1) to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. Stamp the sunflower image from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the corners of the panel. Stamp the leaf image from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink around the sunflower. Color the images using Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Daffodil Delight mat then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the sunflower image from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the leaf image from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set around the sunflower in Early Espresso Ink. Color the images with Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Sunflower Fields DSP to then envelope flap.

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