Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Our OnStage event is done and I’m flying home early this morning. The 3 days of the event go so fast since we are going nonstop, but it’s so much fun. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event.
Today’s card is one that we made last Sunday at our quarterly team meeting. This card was designed by Mary Deatherage. I loved the colors she picked. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Bundle along with the Spotlight on Nature Dies and Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.
Emboss the Basic White card front using the Mini Corrugated EF. Using the Fresh Freesia and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers, splatter the card front by striking the marker on a Bone Folder. Adhere the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.
Cut a panel of Fresh Freesia using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. Adhere the die cut circle to the card front using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Using the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks and the Small Blending Brushes add Fresh Freesia Ink with Masks # 1 & Mask #2. Add Petunia Pop Ink with Mask #3. Add Coastal Cabana Ink with Mask #4 and Summer Splash Ink with Mask #5. Cut the image out using the Thankful Garden Dies. Using the Thankful Garden Dies cut 2 of the multi-leaf die from a panel of Summer Splash and the 3 leaf die from a panel of Coastal Cabana.
Adhere 2 of the leaves to the card front using Glue Dots. Adhere the flower over the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Summer Splash Ink. Using the Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker, splatter the sentiment by striking the marker on a Bone Folder. Tie a multi-loop bow with White Baker’s Twine. Adhere the bow to the card front using a Glue Dot. Adhere the other leaf using a Glue Dot. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Iridescent Faceted Gems to the card front.
On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Summer Splash Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on the corners of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.
Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the leaf image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on the envelope front and flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Tara and I are teaming up to do a Masculine Online Zoom Class on Sunday April 27th featuring the Stampin’ Up! Framed Scenes Bundle. I always seem to struggle with masculine cards, and I know a lot of others do too. We will be making 6 different cards featuring the bundle which is pictured below. I will be adding graphics in the next couple days once we are both done designing the cards.
The class will be held on Zoom on Sunday April 27th from 1pm – 5pm ET.
The class fee includes:
- 6 complete Pre-Cut card kits with envelopes so they are ready to mail when you’re done.
- Full pack of Natural Matte Dots
- Full pack of Linen Thread
- Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
- PDF with detailed directions and photos
- A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.
When you sign up for the class, you will see that you can add additional items needed to make the cards in the class if you do not already have them. These items are optional to add on, but we will be using the items to create the cards. We are offering the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Framed Scenes Bundle at an additional 10% discount when you order it through me during sign up.
The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.
