Stampin’ Up! Paradise Garden Sunflowers

Good snowy Wednesday morning stamping friends. Yup, another 2″ of snow to shovel this morning. At this rate, I’m not going to see my lawn and gardens until May. I hope you are having a good week; we’re already halfway through it and this is the last week of February.

For today’s card I did some dry embossing on Vellum. As a lot of you know, I’m not a fan of orange, but I love Timid Tiger. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Sunflower 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder along with the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Garden Stamp Set (available March 3), Vellum Specialty Paper and Stampin’ Up! Notes & Totes Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Sunflower 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a panel of Vellum Paper using the Sunflower EF. On the back of the embossed panel, color the sunflower centers using the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the embossed panel to a panel of Timid Tiger.

Wrap a piece of the Timid Tiger 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon around the panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Petal Pink card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.. Go over the front of the embossed panel flower centers with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Punch the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Punch a mat from a panel of Petal Pink using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the mat. Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

  • Once you have made the purchase, fill out the Google Form HERE and submit.

What you will receive:

  • 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.

A week before the class I will send you the complete PDF of the cards so you can cut all your cardstock gather your supplies, so you are ready to go.  We will NOT be cutting cardstock or doing any die cutting live since all the cards will be different.  Everyone’s cards will be unique since you will pick which color cardstock and ink you want to use along with the Designer Series Paper, Ribbon & Embellishments for each card.

The class will be held on Sunday February 22nd from 1pm – 4pm Eastern Time via Zoom.  This will allow everyone all over the United States to participate live!
