Today’s card was made with several retiring products:
- Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper
- Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (40% off!!)
- Holiday Rhinestones
- Dragonfly Garden Bundle (the products in the bundle are NOT retiring, but the bundle price is)
All retiring products are available while supplies last!
I started with a piece a Thick Basic White cardstock and then cut two pieces of Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements below the Supply List) and a piece of Night of Navy cardstock that I ran through the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered all three pieces to the card front.
Next, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, Dragonfly Garden. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using Memento Ink, I stamped a dragonfly from the stamp set, Dragonfly Garden onto Basic White cardstock. I colored it using our Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2 (don’t let the words watercolor scare you, I didn’t use any water). I colored the wings with the Night of Navy pencil and then used Garden Green around the edges. Then, I used a Blender Pen to blend the colors together. It’s amazing how nice it looks when you use the Blender Pen. I punched it out using the Dragonflies Punch, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back, and adhered it to the rectangle.
To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones to the front. As I mentioned earlier, these rhinestones are retiring. I love these rhinestones and they aren’t just for the holidays! I love that there’s a variety of colors to use. Grab them while you can!
Since you’ve read this far, I want to share a funny moment . When I went to photograph today’s card, I realized that I made a mistake and it’s one that I always try to check before adhering my pieces to the card front! Sheesh! I cut the panel off and put it on another base, correctly!! Ha, ha!! Has this happened to you before? If it hasn’t, just wait!

Beautiful card, Tracy! Love how you colored the dragonfly. Yes, I too have adhered my focal point on the wrong side of the card base! So funny! 💕
Thank you so much, Nancy! There’s nothing like an upside down card! 🙂
I have done this many times… adhere the card front on the wrong way! Ugh!
The card you have created is beautiful! I love the colors! 🙂
Thank you Polly!! Would you believe that I adhered the card front the wrong way, AGAIN, several days ago? Too much on my mind . . . . but it’s always good for a laugh.
