Good Thursday morning stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see the awesome projects they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Theme Challenge to work with. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Springtime Scenes Bundle along with the Ladybug Picnic 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Emboss a panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock using the Ladybug Picnic EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Basic Black card base.

Using the Springtime Scenes Dies, cut panels of Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist with the detailed leaf die. Cut a panel of Garden Green with the solid background circle die. Cut the ladybugs from panels of Basic Black and Real Red. Cut the flowers from Daffodil Delight (for the flower centers) and Pretty in Pink. Adhere the Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green die cuts on the Garden Green die cut. Adhere the Real Red ladybug on top of the Basic Black ladybug body. Adhere the ladybugs to the layered leaf circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the tiny Pretty in Pink Flowers to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals and add the Daffodil Delight centers. Adhere the layered artwork to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Springtime Scenes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Springtime Scenes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Ladybug Epoxy Shapes to the card fornt.

Stamp the sentiment from the Springtime Scenes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the large leaf image and the ladybug image from the Springtime Scenes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. Color the images using Granny Apple Green, Basic Black and Rea Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock that was embossed with the Ladybug Picnic EF, to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the large leaf image and the ladybug image from the Springtime Scenes stamp set on the envelope front. Color the images using Granny Apple Green, Basic Black and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Emboss a panel of Pretty in Pink Two-Tone cardstock using the Ladybug Picnic EF and adhere it to the envelope flap.
