Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Bundle and a Fun Fold

Good Friday morning! It’s raining here, gray & overcast. UGH. But I have a card for you that will hopefully brighten your day. I’ve chosen to make another Diamond Flip Fold card – just because I found it so much fun – and it makes a statement. I’ve used the Regency Park 6×6 DSP , the Petal Park Bundle (includes the Petal Park Builder Punch) and the Charming Sentiment Bundle (includes the Sentiment Silhouette Dies). You can see the other Diamond Flip Card here.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.1

The card base is Night of Navy and I’ve used Balmy Blue as a background behind the DSP and the stamped diamond on the card front. There is not a lot of writing room as this card shows, but in lieu of DSP on the inside, you could easily have a layer of Basic White to have more room. What’s nice – make it your own by changing it up. You will notice in the photos below that I have not put any DSP on the diamond ends of the card on the inside – as I did on the previous card. It seemed too busy, so I left it off – and, I like it better.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.4

You can see in each of the photos I have used Balmy Blue as a base layer over the Night Of Navy, then either the Basic White or the Regency Park 6×6 DSP. These papers are just so pretty they need showing off! The front Basic White panel is stamps from the Petal Park stamp set. The leaves were done in Shaded Spruce stamped off once – after stamping the outline in Memento ink. The flowers were stamped on a separate panel in Memento ink, then I used the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends to color the petals + the Color Lifter to ‘move’ the Balmy Blue colors. I found it better to use the Color Lifter to do that than the Blender Pen as that pen tends to ‘poill’ the paper. The floral centers are colored in Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. At this point the flowers were punched and added to the square (diamond) panel with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.5

You can see in this photo above that I stamped the flowers in Balmy Blue (stamped off) to help me with placement for the punched flowers. :O)

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.6

In this photo above, I’m getting ready to adhere the square or diamond panel to the ‘flip’ front. Card cuts are listed at the bottom of this post. Full & complete directions may be found on a previous post… You can see the other Diamond Flip Card here.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to Thursday… and the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today and I’m using the Fragrant Flowers Bundle and the Favored Flowers DSP to create it.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Blog Hop.2/16.1

To make this card I took a panel of Dainty Flowers DSP and adhered it to the Blackberry Bliss card front. I then took a piece of Basic White card stock and ran it through the Split Card Textures Dies and adhered that over the DSP. I then die cut a couple of flowers from the Favored Flowers DSP using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. It is SO COOL when the dies coordinate with designer series papers. I also die cut two leaves from Evening Evergreen and buds from Fresh Freesia – all using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. The two larger flowers were added to the front with dimensionals, the lower flower adhered directly to the card front, and the buds and two leaves adhered directly as well. I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink using the Fragrant Flowers stamp set on a piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP, then die cut it with a die from Fragrant Flowers Dies. That was added with liquid glue and dimensionals on the ends.For a final touch: Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems in Gorgeous Grape and a fun Open Weave Ribbon bow in Evening Evergreen (this was added with a glue dot). Both the Dainty Flowers DSP AND the Favored Flowers DSP are FREE – each with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration!

Stampin' UP! Fragrant Flowers Blog Hop 2/16.2

For the inside, another set of flowers die cut from Favored Flowers DSP added to a panel of Basic White. The sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss using a stamp from Fragrant Flowers stamp set. A single Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gem in Fresh Freesia was added.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Blog Hop 2/16.3

The envelope… more Favored Flowers DSP to the flap trimmed to fit and a single flower die cut using the Fragrant Flowers Dies and the Favored Flowers DSP – now completed & ready to send. This card is going to a friend who has struggled with knee issue for over a year, just had meniscus surgery on one knee and anticipates the other knee in about a month. Let’s hope this works for her!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Good Tuesday morning and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Appreciate your loved ones, all of them. Send them a note or give them a call, whatever works for you. It’s never too late to let folks know you care about them. Thank you for joining me today – remember, I care about you! And welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group!

Today’s card plays along with the challenge for this week – a birthday card. And it’s a Diamond Flip card that’s fun to do, and did I say easy?

Stampin' Up! Diamond Flip Fold.1

Gosh, the photo is a bit dark… but isn’t this a sweet card? Here’s a photo of it unfolded showing the outside.

Stampin' Up! Diamond Flip Fold.2

And here’s one of it folded showing the inside. Notice the diamond on the left is ‘flipped’, or folded.

Stampin' Up! Diamond Flip Fold.3

And one more photo… this one shows the front again, with the diamond fold to the inside. This way you clearly see how it’s all put together.

Stampin' Up! Diamond Flip Fold.4

Directions:

  • Cut card base (here I used Granny Apple Green) 4 1/4 x 11 and score at 2 1/8 & 5 1/2
  • On the 2 1/8 end, mark the center point, on the short side which happens to be 2 1/8.
  • Fold card in half – on the 5 1/2 score line
  • Cut from the 2 1/8 score line to the point mark on a diagonal, going through both layers.
  • Now do the other cut from 2 1/8 score line to point. By cutting both ends at the same time, this makes the ends exactly the same!
  • Cut a 3″ square, also from Granny Apple Green, and adhere to the 2 1/8 end, adhering just to score line. This allows that end to be flexible.And this is the end to be decorated.
    • Add a 2 7/8″ square, this time in a coordinating color or Basic White. I chose Textured Shimmer Paper in Balmy Blue
    • Stamp the floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride ink, then die cut with coordinating die from Organic Beauty Dies.
    • Stamp the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink using True Beauty stamp set. Die cut with coordinating die using Organic Beauty Dies
    • Adhere the floral image with dimensionals to the now diamond. Slip the leaves under this a bit and adhere with liquid glue.
    • Cut a banner 1/2 x 3 1/4 and stamp with sentiment from Sentimental Park stamp set, in Merry Merlot ink. Slip banner just under flower and adhere with liquid glue.
    • Add bow ribbon with glue dot: Twill Ribbon Combo Pack in Old Olive
    • Add Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink (Jan-Apr Mini Catalog)
    • Cover floral image with Wink of Stella
  • Add Balmy Blue panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/8 to card front
  • Add Awash In Beauty DSP over Balmy Blue, 3 1/8 x 4 1/8

For the inside

  • Add a 3 1/8 x 4 panel of the Awash in Beauty DSP to the panel on left
  • Stamp the sentiment using Sentimental Park stamp set and Merry Merlot ink on the Basic White panel (3 1/8 x 4)
  • Stamp the flower in Blushing Bride ink using the True Beauty stamp set, cover in Wink of Stella then add more Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink
  • Cut a 2 7/8 square from Awash in Beauty DSP, cut in half creating two triangles. Adhere to each inside end

This card fits perfectly in a regular size envelope and I forgot to take a photo! However… here’s what I did… Cut another piece of Awash in Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6, add to envelope flap & trim to fit. Stamp a floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride, adding a bit of Merry Merlot to the center with your finger or a sponge dauber, then stamp on front of envelope. Cover with Wink of Stella.

Can’t wait to see what you create with this Diamond Flip Card – please do share with me! Such a treat… Now, it’s time to move forward on the hop – or go to previous if you like. Use the appropriate ‘buttons’ below or click on a name to take you on to others. Enjoy – and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY again!

Stampin’ Up! Flap Front Fun Fold Birthday

I am smitten with the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper and have made a fun birthday card with it. This is so super easy you will want to make one too.

Flap Front Fun Fold

This little fox is just so stinkin’ C-U-T-E! Look at that grin & that sassy walk. That little guy is die cut straight from the Rain or Shine DSP and die with the Layering Circles Dies. It’s back layer is Mango Melody die cut with the Layering Circles Dies, scallop. Ok, directions.

  • Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 scored at 4 1/4 and I used Balmy Blue
    • Remove 1″ from card base front & trim that strip to 3 1/2″, then score one end at 1″
    • Attach the short end of this strip to the card back with the score line at the edge – long end to the right
  • Add a 1 1/4 x 5 3/8 strip of DSP over top of strip – see the raindrop strip in photo, that’s it.
Stampin' Up! Flip Front Fun Fold.2
  • Attach the circle die cut to the long end of the strip. I wanted a nice ‘finish’ to the back side so die cut another circle with the Layering Circles Dies from Brights 6×6 DSP in Mango Melody & adhered it to the back side.
  • A panel of Basic White 2 3/4 x 5 3/8 is stamped with the birthday sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set in Memento ink. Adhere to inside of card.
  • Back to card front… Add a panel of Rain or Shine DSP to the card front – 3 1/8 x 5 3/8
  • Stamp a sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White Scrap & die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies.
  • Add a Mango Melody strip behind it 5/8 x 2 1/4. This could be a length of ribbon instead, or a pice cut slightly larger than the sentiment panel. Add with dimensionals to the card front
  • I added three Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Mango Melody for a bit of bling.

Super easy card – and you could easily change it up… front flap embellished could be a square, a rectangle, a heart. All kinds of possibilities!

Stampin' Up! Flap Front Fun Fold.3

For the envelope… more of the Brights 6×6 DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit and another die cut from the Rain or Shine DSP, this time die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. A super fun card to send & receive!

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Flowers Slimline Thanks Card

Hello Friends! I have a fun, different card for you today ~ it’s a slimline card using the FREE Sale-a-bration DSP Dainty Flowers. It’s available with a $50 purchase, but only during Sale-a-bration, which ends Feb 28 ~ soon. I saw this card, I think from Mary Fish, and decided to make one myself. You could make this card with any Designer Series Papers.

Stampin' Up! Dainty Flowers Slimline

I used Old Olive card stock as my card base, 7 x 8 1/2 scored at 3 1/2, then cut another panel of Old Olive 3 1/4 x 8 1/4. I cut two pieces of the Dainty Flowers DSP 3 1/4 x 8 1/4, laid them together kind of catty-wampas – you know, crooked, and adhered them together. I placed them on the additional Old Olive panel, marked the left edge & trimmed it. I then placed that trimmed edge on the Paper Trimmer & cut it to 8 1/8 in length so it would have a straight top edge & fit on that Old Olive panel – then adhered it to the Old Olive panel and added it to the card front with dimensionals. I pulled out the Something Fancy Bundle to stamp the sentiment in Starry Sky ink and die cut it with this fun hexagon die from the Something Fancy Dies. Then I die cut another piece as a background from another piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP and using yet another die from Something Fancy Dies, then cut another from Basic White. The Basic White die cut I cut in half lengthwise and adhered behind the DSP die cut to create a bit of frame. This I attached to the card front with dimensionals. I put the hexagon sentiment piece also on dimensionals and added it to the panel. For a bit of bling I added three Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls then a baker’s twine bow from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine package – in Starry Sky. This is a double bow. And the card front was done :O)

Stampin' Up! Dainty Flowers Slimline, inside

Remember those pieces I trimmed from the left edge? Here they are on the inside of the card, adhered to a Basic White 3 1/4 x 8 1/4 panel. And the card is d-o-n-e! Love this… and it would be a great style for a masculine card birthday or whatever. The envelope I us for this is from the Slimline Envelopes from the Annual catalog – just forgot to take photo!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello and WELCOME to this fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. You may have come from the fabulous Tara Carpenter or simply hopped in right here. However you arrived, may you enjoy making the rounds of those participating today.

Stampin' Up!  Happy Inkin' Krew Blog Hop
Stampin' Up!  Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Color Challenge

So, I have to laugh at myself & share it with you… I made a card for this blog hop, but when I went to do all the necessary ‘work’ of plugging in the challenge, I realized I made the card for NEXT WEEKS blog hop šŸ˜€ How funny is that! So I pulled out a card I hadn’t posted yet and here we go. It’s one we are working on in card class today.

Stampin' Up! P;laying In The Rain hop 2/9

This card is made with the Playing in the Rain stamp set and the Picture This Dies + Rain or Shine DSP. It was super fun to make as the Playing In The Rain stamp set is full of cuteness.

  • Die cut the Rain or Shine DSP with the Picture This Dies. DSP is 4 x 5 1/4
  • Place this over a Basic White panel 1/8″ smaller & trace lightly the various circles. in pencil
  • Decide where & what images you want to use from the Playing In The Rain stamp set then stamp with Memento ink in the various circles. It’s ok to go outside the circle but use a post it note to cover a circle if you think it would stamp in it. see photo
Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain.help
Stampin' Up! Plsaying In The Rain.help 2
  • Color images as desired. I used Stampin’ Blends Mango Melody, Cajun Craze & Old Olive for the flowers/ leaves; I used Flirty Flamingo for the rabbit and Old Olive, Mango Melody and Cajun Craze on the turtle image. I also die cut a bow tie in Basic Black using one of the balloon bow dies. šŸ‘šŸ˜€
  • Stamp the sentiment from Playing In The Rain in Smoky Slate ink
  • Erase any remaining pencil marks.
  • Now lay the die cut Rain or Shine DSP over this panel & adhere in place.
  • Put dimensionals on the back and adhere to a Smoky Slate A2 card base.
  • Add the loose Daisy Assortment to the sentiment – and the card front is done!

For the inside…

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain.inside
  • Stamp the fox, puddles and sentiment in Memento ink
  • Stamp the raindrops in Smoky Slate ink
  • Color the fox, umbrella and puddles with Stampin’ Blends: Cajun Craze for the umbrella, Mango Melody for the rain hat & coat, Smoky Slate for the fox and puddles
  • Add to inside of card & voila!

For the envelope… More Rain or Shine DSP on the flap trimmed to fit; and a Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend colored umbrella on the front. The umbrella is stamped in Memento ink & comes from Playing in The Rain Stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain Note Cards.2

Hello weekend! I hope you have something fun planned. Yesterday I shared a note card using the Playing In The Rain Bundle and mentioned that it would be easy to make several to have on hand or give as a gift – I took my own advise and did just that. Tomorrow I’ll share the box I made specifically for these note cards.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.1
Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.2

On this card I used the Brights 6×6 DSP in Flirty Flamingo for the background and Balmy Blue card stock behind the main image. The main image comes from the Rain or Shine DSP & was die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. The Balmy Blue behind it was die cut with the Layering Circles Dies. The sentiment comes from Thanks a Bunch stamp set (FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration!). On the inside, a single strip of the Brights 6×6 DSP in Flirty Flamingo and a fussy cut umbrella from Rain or Shine DSP. The floral stamp on the envelope is from Playing In The Rain stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.3
Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.4

This card uses a panel of the Rain or Shine DSP as the background, another die cut image from the DSP adhered to Mango Melody card stock die cut with the Layering Circles Dies. A single Loose Daisy Embellishment was added to the sentiment. A strip of the Mango Melody helps focus the sentiment from Playing In The Rain stamp set. A single strip of the DSP is added to the inside of the card.

A fussy cut turtle from Rain or Shine DSP was adhered to the envelope front

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain note cards 2.5
Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain note cards 2.6

Card #3 uses more of the Rain or Shine DSP for the background and a focus image die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies from the Rain or Shine DSP. For strength I did die cut a Basic White circle and adhered it to the back of the focus image before placing those in dimensionals. The strip for the sentiment is Mango Melody card stock and the sentiment is stamped in Memento ink using the Playing In The Rain stamp set. The sentiment ends were trimmed with the Banners Pick a Punch. A strip of the same DSP was added to the inside of the card and another fussy cut turtle from the Rain or Shine DSP was added to the envelope front.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.7
Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.8

For this last card I used a background of Subtles 6×6 DSP in Mint Macaron with a background on the main sentiment of Balmy Blue card stock. Both the image & the scalloped trim were die cut with the Layering Circles Dies. I simply used the reverse side of the Subtles 6×6 DSP for the cross pieces behind the focus image. The sentiment from Playing In The Rain and stamped in Smoky Slate ink was fussy cut & layered on a strip of the Rain or Shine DSP. The inside of the card and the envelope front got a floral stamp from the Playing In The Rain stamp set in Smoky Slate ink. These four cards along with the card from yesterday, (seen here) make a lovely gift set if you should want to do that.

Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain Note Card

It’s Friday… maybe TGIF? So much going on lately. Are you feeling overwhelmed or need a fun craft break? Note cards are the way to go… and Playing in the Rain stamp bundle is full of fun images ~ and will relax you as you giggle your way into the making of cards. I held a class yesterday (Thursday) and we made a box that holds note cards & envelopes. They are a perfect size for many uses, hello friend, birthday, really, you name it. The finished size is 3 1/2 x 5 – and here’s the first card we made.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain Note Card

We first took a piece of the Rain or Shine DSP and adhered it to the card front. We then took the Stylish Shapes Dies and second largest circle to die cut an image from the DSP. This little dancer is just too cute! I put dimensionals on the back and adhered it to the card. I stamped the sentiment on a panel of Basic White and die cut it with an appropriate banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies, added dimensionals and attached it. I added three little Loose Daisy Embellishments to the banner – and bingo, card front done!

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain Note Card inside

For the inside, I took a very thin strip of the Rain or Shine DSP used on the front and adhered it along the side, then stamped the floral image from Playing in the Rain stamp set in Smoky Slate ink-and done.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain Note Card & Envelope

For the envelope… I stamped the same image as inside the card with Smoky Slate ink and Playing in the Rain stamp set, then colored it with Stampin’ Blends Mango Melody and Old Olive. Remember to slip a scrap of paper in the envelope before coloring as alcohol inks bleed through… hint, hint! I added a piece of the same Rain or Shine DSP to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. This would be an easy card to duplicate in a batch: cut all the card fronts; die cut the images; stamp several sentiments and die cut ~ bing bang boom ~ a box full of cards ready to give as a gift or to send.

These new products are wonderful to create & play. Want to be able to create this… order from my online store (Click here to go my store) or JOIN MY TEAM with the awesome promotion by Stampin’ Up! you may do that here. Keep reading for more info.

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

We have a theme challenge for today’s hop – love. I don’t tend to be a big Valentine sender/ giver, but I really like this Country Bouquet Bundle. I’ve taken a bit of a modern approach without DSP.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle. Th.hoop 1/26

Silver heat embossing, a bit of scoring and some gorgeous Simply Elegant Trim in silver highlight this card. And of course, the heart uses the Country Bouquet Punch from the Country Bouquet Bundle. The words and hearts are from the Country Bouquet stamp set.

The ‘how to’:

  • Begin with a card base of Thick Basic White scored in half. This can work as 8 1/2 x 5 1/2scored at 4 1/4 or 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Using the Scoring Tool and the back side of a Basic White panel, create five score lines. Why the back side? Scoring creates an indentation and I wanted the scoring to be raised. After scoring, turn card stock over & bingo!
  • On a piece of Basic White, rub the piece with the embossing buddy to remove finger prints or anything that would cause the embossing powder to attach itself; stamp the hearts from Country Bouquet stamp set with VersaMark ink; sprinkle with silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Once cool, punch with the Country Bouquet Punch and set both hearts aside.
  • Determine where on the card front panel the large heart will be placed, rub entire right side of card with the embossing buddy. Stamp the two open hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set with VersaMark ink, then the words ‘for you’. Sprinkle both with silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
  • Add large heart with dimensionals.
  • Add silver bow using the Simply Elegant Trim and adhering with a scrunched glue dot.
  • Add three Pearl Basic Jewels for additional elegance.
  • Add this panel to a Silver Foil Specialty Paper panel slightly larger, then add to card front. Done!
Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle Th. hop 1/26.inside

For the inside, I added a length of Silver Foil Specialty paper to the left side with liquid glue, cleaned the area to be stamped with the embossing buddy, inked the sentiment with VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and heat set. The smaller heart that was stamped & punched at the same time as the larger heart was added with liquid glue. This panel was added to the inside of the card and all done.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle Th. hop 1/26.3

For the envelope, I again used the embossing buddy to clean an area for the enclosed hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set; stamped them with VersaMark ink and sprinkled with the silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. For the envelope flap, I wanted a soft pink so added a piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP (FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration!)

I hope you liked my card. Now you have seen my gem, I hope you will travel along the hop to visit everyone else participating today. Click the ‘next’ button or a name to visit. ENJOY!

Stampin’ Up! Favored Flowers Thanks

Hello Tuesday! It rained here all day yesterday… and about 36 degrees. Luckily it wasn’t colder, right?! I lead a program at our church called Stephen Ministry and we are currently running a training program for new Stephen Ministers. One of the things I like to do is try to include already trained Stephen Ministers to help train the new students. And this is a thank you card for the teacher that led a recent class.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers w/ Favored Flowers DSP

I used the FREE Favored Flowers 12×12 DSP that is available with an order of $50 during this time of Sale-a-bration. Love it! I also used the second largest Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut the DSP and another to die cut the sentiment. You can see another strip of it behind the sentiment (1/2 x about 3 3/4). Getting ahead of myself…

  • Die cut the Favored Flowers 12×12 DSP with the second largest Stitched Rectangles Dies
  • Add this to a panel of Evening Evergreen card stock slightly larger.
  • Add both of these to a Petal Pink card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 with dimensionals
  • Stamp the sentiment from Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Calypso Coral ink – on a Basic White scrap. Die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies
  • Cut a strip of the Favored Flowers DSP 1/2 x 3 3/4 and add to the card front with Stampin’ Seal
  • Add the stamped sentiment with dimensionals
  • Add three Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Petal Pink
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers w/ Favored Flowers DSP.inside

For the inside… I stamped the flower from Fragrant Flowers stamp set with Memento ink on the Basic White panel, then colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Light & Dark Petal Pink for the flower and Light Soft Succulent and Dark Evening Evergreen on the leaves. This reflects the DSP. This Basic White panel was layered on Evening Evergreen then adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers and Favored Flowers DSP, Card & envelope

I cut a panel of the Favored Flowers 12×12 DSP (did I mention it is FREE during Sale-a-bration with a qualified order!), adhered it to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. On the envelope front I stamped the small flower from Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Memento ink, slipped a piece of paper inside the envelope so the Stampin’ Blends don’t bleed through, then colored the image as before: Stampin’ Blends Light & Dark Petal Pink for the flower and Light Soft Succulent and Dark Evening Evergreen on the leaves. This Basic White panel was adhered to an Evening Evergreen piece and adhered to the inside of the card. Done!
