Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well. Other than being supper hot here today, I think we’re getting a break from thunderstorms.

I mixed a new bundle coming in September along with a Hot Foil Bundle for today’s quick and easy card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Poetic Petals Bundle (available Sept 1) and the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Glow Bundle with the Stampin’ Hot Foil System for my card today. I’m loving the Hot Foil much more that I thought I would.

Following the directions of the Stampin’ Hot Foil System, foil the large leaf from the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Dies on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the large leaf image from the Botanical Glow stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink over the foiled die.

Adhere the foiled, stamped Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Poetic Petals stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. Cut a panel of Pretty Peacock using the Poetic Petals Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the die cut square. Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Earthy Matte Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Poetic Petals stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the large leaf image from the Botanical Glow stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the leaf image from the Botanical Glow stamp set on the envelope front and envelope flap in Lost Lagoon Ink.

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