Today’s card was created using Stampin’ Up! Forever Flourishing Dies and Flowers For Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I used two new In Colors on my card – Just Jade and Bumblebee (the base of the card is Just Jade and the “panels” are Bumblebee). To create the greenery, I used Just Jade cardstock and Vellum cardstock and popped them behind the sentiment. To adhere both of these pieces, I added a layer of Multipurpose Glue on half of the sentiment piece. Normally I would used Dimensionals to secure pieces like this but I wanted to be sure that they weren’t going to fall off the card and the glue worked perfectly.
The sentiment was stamped in Just Jade ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, So Much Love. When choosing stamp sets to purchase, I not only look at the images but the sentiments too. In fact, at times I’ve purchased a set JUST for the sentiments but this set wowed me with the flowers and the sentiments.
I cut the sentiment using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then cut a piece of Bumblebee cardstock to place under it. To add some sparkle I used three of our new Elegant Faceted Gems. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Enjoy your weekend!
I love your cards. I like using paper & dies to make cards. I’m not into coloring, I just never have been comfortable w/the pens or pencils as I don’t do well trying to do the shading.
Thanks so much for your great ideas.
Thanks so much, Lillian! I can understand how you feel about using pens and pencils and I have to admit that I get a little intimidated and worry about shading too but I love to color and do it anyway. Our Blends color so evenly that it makes anything you color look beautiful.Once you feel comfortable, then you can give shading a try (or not). Coloring brings out the kid in us!
Tracy, all of the cards are very pretty. Don’t think I could pick a favorite one. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Thank you for your kind comment, Cynthia!
