Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is For the Girls/Ladies! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
I decided this was the perfect time to pull out a sweet little bundle from the new May-Aug 2026 Catalog – it’s the Garden Gatherings bundle! I added some embossing with the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder (an Online Exclusive) to make a pretty birthday card. Take a look-see:
I started by embossing a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock in the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder. This pretty folder is on backorder right now – but is expected back around the week of 27 April. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the panel to the front of my Strawberry Slush card base.
In the lower right corner of a 3 3/4″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Garden Gatherings (available 5 May in the new May-Aug 2026 Catalog) in Old Olive ink. Then I matted the panel on a 3 7/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the floral display, I stamped the vase images in Versamark Ink on a piece of Vellum Specialty Paper. Tip: don’t press down too hard – or the stamp will slip on the vellum! Then I sprinkled it with White Basics WOW Embossing Powder and heat set them with the Heat Tool.
When it was all cool, I cut out the vases with the matching dies in the Garden Gatherings set.
There’s a couple dies in the set that cut out “water” and I used them to cut out Cloud Cover cardstock pieces – which I adhered with Liquid Glue to each of the vases.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a few Garden Gatherings stems in Old Olive ink. I stamped the four flower image in Daffodil Delight on the one stem and then added the multi-flower images on the other two (more delicate) stems in Strawberry Slush ink.
I also used the die in the set to cut out four Old Olive branches.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the floral stems and the die cut branches behind the Vellum vases – using the Cloud Cover “water” to hide the adhesive.
Keeping them hidden behind the die cuts, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the vases to the sentiment panel on the card front.
I tied a simple Linen Thread bow and adhered it to the middle vase with a little Liquid Glue.
I added some Barely Blush 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies (coming on 5 May – I can’t wait so that I can buy MORE packages of these wunnermus embellishments!!) and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped another Garden Gatherings sentiment in Old Olive ink on a Basic WHite panel. In the corner, I stamped a vase in Tuxedo Black, the stems in Old Olive and the flowers in Strawberry Slush inks. I added “water” with the Light Cloud Cover Stampin’ Blend. Then I added a Barely Blush 2026-2028 In Color Butterfly.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Strawberry Slush card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got a Garden Gatherings vase and flowers on the front…
…and a couple of stamped leaves from the set in Old Olive on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Okay – I love this little Garden Gatherings set! I love the sentiments – I love the images (the flowers are especially fun to stamp onto the stems – they line up PERFECTLY!!) and I love the die cut water! So cute and so clever! And the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder is a beautiful way to add texture!
I hope you like – and I very much hope you’ll be grabbing the Garden Gatherings bundle when you can on the 5th!
