Good Monday! It’s turned cold again after a very beautiful day of 81 degrees – ah, that’s Spring. That 81 degrees made the hostas pop up, helebores are in full bloom (they love the cool!), daffodils & crocus are blooming as well. I really enjoy this time of year.

My card today is for a friend who isn’t feeling all that great, I’ve combined the Friends For Life Dies and the Wanted To Say Dies to create my messages – and the last of my Wildly Flowering 12×12 DSP.

To make this card I began with my card base: Moody Mauve cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. I layered a panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 that I ran through a brand new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder, a new favorite. This piece was adhered directly to the card base. Next I cut a piece of the Wildly Flowering DSP 4 x 3, that coordinates with the strips of another piece of the Wildly Flowering DSP. This was cut 3 1/2 x 3 1/2, then into strips 1/2, 3/4, 1 & 1 1/4. I spaced then evenly along the 4 x 3 panel & adhered with Stampin’ Seal. I took a scrap of the Wildly Flowering DSP 4 x 2 1/2 & die cut the background for the word ‘friend’ from the Friends For Life Dies. Next I took a piece of Basic White 4 x 2 5/8 and covered the back with Adhesive Sheets. I then die cut the word ‘friend’ from that, removed the backing of the Adhesive Sheet and attached it to the DSP background die cut. I put this on dimensionals and adhered it over the DSP strips, added dimensionals to the 4 x 3 DSP panel and attached to the card front. As a final touch, I added five (5) Adhesive-Backed Textural Dots and the card front was complete.

For the inside, I took another piece of the Wildly Flowering DSP in Moody Mauve, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2, attached aAdhesive Sheet to that & die cut the sentiment from the Wanted To Say Dies. I attached this to the center of a Basic White piece 4 x 5 1/4. I then used a Blending Brush & Moody Masuve ink to add some color to the edges of this Basic White panel, then attached it to the inside of the card.

For the envelope, more Wildly Flowering DSP, 2 1/4 x 6, attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. A simple flower from the Wildflower Designs stamp set was stamped in Moody Mauve ink on the envelope front. Done, ready to send in hopes my friend will ‘feel better soon’!

The 2024-2025 Annual Catalog is quickly coming to an end – and the 2025-2026 catalog will be released soon. I believe this Wildly Flowering DSP is on the Last Chance List. Tomorrow, the list will be updated with all the retiring items and I’ll include it in my post. If there is something you want, get it quickly as once it is gone, it will not be replaced.
