Today I have a card that we made at our Creativity Now event from Saturday night. The designers from Stampin’ Up! came up with 4 different cards that we made. Some of them were not exactly my style, but I made them anyway. They adhered DSP and dies crooked on the card fronts. Those that know me, know that I like things straight. These cards were out of my comfort zone, and I liked them lol. I’ll be showing the others over the next week. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle (available July 1st) along with the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set and Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper (available July 1st) for my card today.

I started by embossing a Fresh Freesia card front using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Fresh Freesia card base. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the card front on an angle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I colored a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Fresh Freesia and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the top half with my Light Pool Party and the bottom half with my Light Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker. I colored of the center of the panel with Dark Pool Party and Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker (I hope this makes sense). I stamped the bumblebee image from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Pool Party and Fresh Freesia Inks on their respective colors. I adhered the panel to the card front at the opposite angle of the DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink. Using my Paper Snips, I cut the ends into a banner. I cut 2 of the leaf dies from the Splendid Stems Dies from a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I adhered the dies to the back of the sentiment using Glue Dots. I adhered a piece of the beautiful Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon (available July 1st) behind the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the eucalyptus and bumblebee images from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the eucalyptus and image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front and the bee image in Fresh Freesia Ink. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. The bundle and DSP used for my card today will be available for purchase starting on Friday July 1st. I hope that you are getting those shopping lists ready. I have mine ready to go first thing in the morning. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Bundle (bundle price only available until May 2nd), and the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

My colors are from the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #542.

I started by adhering a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered layer to a Parakeet Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. I adhered the Shimmer Vellum to the card front using Stampin’ Seal only under where the sentiment and butterfly were placed.

Using my Brilliant Wings Dies, I cut a solid butterfly from a panel of Daffodil Delight cardstock. I cut the coordinating detailed butterfly from a panel of Basic Black cardstock. I adhered the detailed butterfly to the solid butterfly just on the body using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the butterfly to the vellum panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added black Adhesive-Backed Hexagons to the butterfly body.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the vellum panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brillance Cling Stamp Set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, next to the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the Parakeet Party card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Hello

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have plans? Yesterday we had a gorgeous spring day. It was 60 out and my daughter and I were running errands without coats on. Today, well a little different. It’s cold with a mix of rain and snow. I really wish spring would get here and stay.

Today’s card is one that we made at our team meeting on Tuesday night. Every month we have a virtual team meeting and so Mystery Stamping at the end. It’s a lot of fun. Our upline emails us measurements and then at the end of the meeting she tells us how to put the card together. All of our cards are similar but different. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Bundle along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #384.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Basic White card front. I wrapped a piece of the Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the side of the panel and tied a bow.

On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink. I cut a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock into a banner using my Paper Snips and embossed it using the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder. I adhered the banner to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Pansy Dies, I cut the flower and the flower bud from a panel of So Saffron cardstock. I cut the detailed flower outline from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I cut the stem, 2 leaves and detailed leaves from a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock. I sponged some Mint Macaron Ink on the detailed leave die using my Sponge Dauber. I adhered the detailed flower dies to the solid flower pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flower pieces together using Glue Dots. I adhered the leaves behind the flower using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower to the banner panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel that I colored with my So Saffron Stampin’ Blend Marker in the center of the flower. I added a couple Bumblebee Trinkets to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the card front to a Basic Whtie card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the smallest pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the pansy outline and center images from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink over the solid image. I stamped the leaf images from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the pansy. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pansy Petals DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off. I hope you are having a productive one. Today is not going to go as planned. I can’t work on my garden like I wanted to. Looks like I might be putting it off to the fall when some of the bugs go away. I got eaten up so bad on Saturday when I was only out there for a couple hours, my legs look like someone tortured me with pins. I was going to spray my lawn and garden, but it’s harmful to my fur baby.

Today I have a quick card for you showcasing another one of the DSP’s that’s on sale. I let the DSP do all the work and there’s very little stamping today. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from the Paper Craft Crew Challenge #435.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Soft Sea Foam card based using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered another panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Soft Sea Foam mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Banners Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Bumblebee Trinket using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pansy Petals DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Step Card for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend yet? I will only be at Ace all day Sunday working, I have off from the dog bakery this weekend.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Petals Suite Collection for my fun fold card today.

My colors are from the Global Design Project #297.

This is the template to reproduce this card. I really hope you will try it out.

Once I made all the card base cuts, I decorated the card base. I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 panels of the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to Fresh Freesia mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to either side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set 3 times. Once in Blackberry Bliss full strength, once in Blackberry Bliss stamped off once and the 3rd in Blackberry Bliss full strength with Fresh Freesia over the top. I cut the 3 flowers out using the Pansy Dies. I cut 4 solid leaves, 4 detailed leaves and 2 stems from a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using my Pansy Dies. Using my Sponge Dauber I added some Pear Pizzazz Ink to the detailed leaves. I adhered the detailed leaves to the solid leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered the 2 stems on top of one another using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stems to a Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves and flowers to the stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the matted panel and tied a bow. I adhered the artwork to the middle panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a little Bumblebee Trinket near the flowers.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Blackberry Bliss Ink using the Masking Technique. I stamped the solid leaf image in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamped off once and the detailed leaf image in Pear Pizzazz Ink on top of the solid leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set 3 times on the bottom front corner of the envelope using the masking technique. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under this post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Square Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend. I’ll be at work today and tomorrow is our in person quarterly team meeting. I’m really looking forward to getting together with some of my team members to do some stamping and just talking, especially after the week I’ve had. It started with my dog last Saturday ending up at the animal hospital and ended Thursday with my son being brought to the ER. It’s going to be a long summer which is not going to go as planned. He had all these soccer camps lined up that he was going to be running, instead he will be healing with a broken leg and sprained ankle.

Today’s card is something different than what I normally do. I’ve made a square card. I’ve always stayed away from them because of not having the envelopes. I’ve figured a way around that. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.

My design is from the Fab Friday Challenge #215.

I started by adhering a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Seafoam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, I cut the largest frame from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock and the next size smaller from a panel of Basic White cardstock. In the center of the Basic White frame I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I adhered the Basic White frame the the Evening Evergreen using Stampin’ Seal then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Loose Flower Flourishes to the card front using Glue Dots. In the center of the 2 larger flowers I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small pansy images from the Pansy Patch stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya Inks, both stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Seafoam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set on the envelope front using Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya Inks. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to the envelope flap.

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

The first Stampin’ Up! value statement is this: we care about people first. What does that look like? Caring about people first means treating others with kindness, respect, and equal consideration. It means working together towards a common goal, helping each other through life’s challenges, and celebrating one another’s accomplishments. It means including others, even when we disagree, have contrasting life experiences, or simply see things differently. Caring about people first is our greatest strength!

In honor of this value—and in the spirit of World Diversity Day—we’d like to celebrate what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity! The United Through Creativity Digital Download features inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual sentiments and illustrations that represent the multiple markets Stampin’ Up! engages with. And, it’s FREE for all!

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating our one-of-a-kind community through the unifying force of creativity!

Stampin’ Up! True Love Pansy Patch CAS

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? We’re going to have a warm week here. I looked ahead and we’re in the upper 80’s all week, YAY!!! Looks like summer might be here.

I have a CAS card for you today using the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set and the True Love Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Fab Friday Challenge #213.

I started by adhering a panel of the True Love DSP to a Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I fussy card a flower from another panel of the True Love DSP using my Paper Snips. I colored the image in using my Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered the flower image to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Write Markers I edged the strip to give it a little color. I adhered the sentiment over the flower image on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut another flower from the True Love DSP using my Paper Snips and colored it in using my Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the flower to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basie White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the True Love DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Easel Stand Up Card for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? What’s everyone doing for the weekend? As of now, I’m only working on Sunday, so I’m not sure what I’m doing Saturday yet. I have a lot of gardening to do, I just need to get the energy to start.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Petals Bundle for my Fun Fold card today.

I started with an 8″ X 8″ panel of So Succulent cardstock for my card base.  I scored it at 4″ then turned it and scored at 4″ again.  I then cut from the center down one side only.  On the top portion that was not cut I scored from the outside scored edges to the center top scored edge for the angle fold.  Using my Bone Folder I gave it a good crease on all the score lines.  The 2 straight score lines, I folded in and the 2 angle score lines I folded out.

I cut a panel of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper in half to make 2 triangles for the outside folds.  I adhered the 2 triangle pieces of DSP to the outside folded pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I took a 3″ X 6″ piece of Soft Succulent cardstock and folded it in half.  Using the 3rd largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circle Dies, I cut it out not putting the full circle on my paper, letting it hang over the folded edge about 1/4″ so that it would open up like a card.  I folded the top of the scallop circle up and in half meeting the little scallops to make the easel.  I cut another of the same size scallop circle from a piece of the Pansy Petals DSP and adhered it to the top section of the scallop circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Using the small circle from the Layering Circle Dies I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock to make the easel stopper.  Using my Pansy Dies, I cut the pansies pieces from a panel of Basic White cardstock, I cut the detailed pieces from a panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I cut the solid leaves from a panel of So Succulent cardstock and the detailed leaves from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I adhered the Blackberry Bliss pieces to the Basic White flower pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the flower pieces together using Glue Dots. I adhered the detailed Evening Evergreen pieces to the Soft Succulent leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered them to the back of the flower using Glue Dots. I added one of the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the center of the flower. I adhered the pansy to the DSP scalloped circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals making sure to place it so the card could close properly. I stamped the detailed pansy images from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the Basic White panel. I stamped the flower center in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the leaf image in Soft Succulent Ink and the detailed leaf image over the solid image in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the images out using my Pansy Dies.  I adhered the stamped pansy to the small circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a panel of Evening Evergreen to the right bottom panel of the card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a Square Vellum Doilie to the Evening Evergreen panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just in the center. I adhered the easel piece to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the easel stop piece in front of the easel piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added one of the adorable Bumblebee Trinkets by my pansy using a Glue Dot.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in the center of the panel in Blackberry Bliss. I stamped the 2nd sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink below the 1st. I stamped the detail images of the pansy from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card base, under the easel panel, using Stampin’ Seal.

The card folds up to a 4″ X 4″ square to fit into our Basic White Medium Envelope.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope.  I stamped the detailed pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petal DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Products I used for my card today will be available on May 4th. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Karen Finkle’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For Girls/For Ladies”.  We can interpret this however we want.  I decided to make a Mother’s Day Card using a new bundle coming in the 2021-2020 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Pansy Petals Bundle for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to a Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the new Scalloped Contours Dies and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the top of the die cut panel. Using my Pansy Dies, I cut a panel of Basic White, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Just Jade and Shaded Spruce cardstocks. I adhered the detailed Shaded Spruce Leaves to the solid Just Jade Leaves and the detailed Gorgeous Grape pansy pieces to the Basic White pansy using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Blending Brush, I added a little Highland Heather Ink to the edges of the Highland Heather petal pieces then adhered them to the back of the pansy using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the small Highland Heather pansy bud piece to the Basic White bud piece and the Shaded Spruce piece to the Just Jade stem using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the pansy bud to the back.

I adhered the assembled flower to the scalloped die using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added one of the adorable Bumblebee Trinkets by the pansy bud using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small detailed pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the bottom of the panel twice. I stamped the pansy center in Bumblebee Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the detailed pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to the envelope flap.
