Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. It’s warming up a bit here in NJ. We’ve been in the 30’s finally, still dropping to the teens at night though so everything could freeze up again.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #224 is Monochromatic Greens. I used lots of layered on my card again, since that is one of my favorite kinds of cards to make. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Greenery Lane Bundle along with the new Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder (available March 3). I was inspired by the theme along with the greenery in the photo for my Clean & Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 224.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Emboss a panel of Garden Green Two-Tone Cardstock using the Paradise Garden EF. Use a sanding block and go over the panel to highlight the leaves. Adhere a panel of Wood Textured Paper to the center of the embossed panel. Adhere the embossed panel to the front of a Garden Green card base.

Stamp the leaf image from the Greenery Lane stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere the stamped panel to a Garden Green mat and to a Soft Sea Foam mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Greenery Lane Dies, cut the leaf die from a panel of Garden Green. Adhere it to the stamped Basic White panel. Tie a small bow using the Garden Green 1/8″ Chevron Ribbon and adhere it to the stem with a Glue Dot. Add a few Shades of Green Hexagons to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Greenery Lane stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the leaf image from the Greenery Lane stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink, stamping it off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Adhere a panel of Garden Green Two-Tone cardstock that was embossed with the Paradise Garden EF and sanded using the sanding block, on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat and a Soft Sea Foam mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the leaf image from the Greenery Lane stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper and Soft Sea Foam Ink, on the bottom front of the envelope. Using the Blending Brush, add sone Soft Sea Foam Ink to a panel of Wood Textured Paper and adhere it to the envelope flap.

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

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!
