Today’s card features Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (currently on the Low Inventory list and could go into backorder status), one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders and our Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I made this card as part of a challenge and it went a little bit out of my comfort zone because of the different layers. When I completed the card, I was happy with it and made it my FREE PDF Tutorial. You can access the tutorial below the Supply List.

I started with a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock for the base of my card and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
Then, using Basic White cardstock and our Blending Brushes, I covered my paper with Just Jade ink. When I had the shade I wanted, I blended Pool Party ink and then a small amount of Pacific Point ink. As I mentioned in Monday’s post, after getting ink on my Blending Brush, I start by moving the brush in a circular motion on my grid paper and then without lifting the brush, continue on to my Basic White cardstock. This will help to prevent blotches of color.
I cut the paper down to 4-3/4″ x 2″ and then using Memento Ink, stamped leaves using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set. Then I adhered it to a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the stamp set Pansy Patch to stamp the sentiment in Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. This is a photopolymer stamp set and I CUT the stamp in half so it would fit on my circle. Now my stamp is more versatile and it was easy to cut with our Paper Snips. I cut the sentiment out using our Tasteful Labels Dies. I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a larger circle out of Coastal Cabana and then layered the two pieces together. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and then adhered it to the card front. To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones.

Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and our Blending Brushes. If you haven’t tried using our Blending Brushes, they make it so easy to make a beautiful background. Not only will you have a one of a kind background, but it’s really relaxing too!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I used one of our Blending Brushes to pick up Magenta Madness ink and blend it over the paper until I had the shade I wanted. Then, using another Blending Brush, I lightly blended Daffodil Delight ink over the top.
Tip: After picking up the ink on the brush, brush the ink over your grid paperbefore applying it to the Basic White cardstock. If you pick up the ink and directly start blending on your Basic White, you’ll get blotches of color. I pick up the color and then blend in a circular motion on the grid paper and then, without picking up the blending brush, continue onto my paper.
After getting the color I wanted, I used the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set to stamp two different leaves in Memento Ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Biggest Wish and was cut out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the sentiment before it was adhered to the card front
Bundle Alert(save 10%): The Gorgeous Leaves Bundle #158609, includes the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and the Intricate Leaves Dies.
