Stampin’ Up! Many Mates Video Tutorial Sneak Peek!

Posted on May 23, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Saturday, y’all! And it’s the Saturday of a Three-Day Weekend to celebrate Memorial Day! As you go about your socially distanced activities this weekend, grilling and playing in the sun, I’d ask you to take a moment to say thank you to those who gave all so that we could enjoy the freedoms we love so much! Our freedom came at the ultimate cost for so many. Thank you!

Part of my weekend will be spent (I hope!) with you (virtually!) tonight at 7pm Eastern over on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page. We’re going to play with a sentiment-centric bundle called Many Mates. With a few other goodies thrown in. Take a sneaky peek!

I think you’ll like this one so…hope to see you then.

Tonight. 7pm Eastern. Right here! 🙂

Finn Fan Fix

I’ve had a few requests for an update on the progress of our garden.

So – Finny (my docent) and I, went out with the camera.

Our first stop is the Squash department! On the left – a baby Spaghetti Squash. On the right – some yellow squash that are doing great! We’ve had trouble in the past with blossom-end rot. But..so far so good this year! 🙂

My French Algarve pole beans are doing their thing – and we’ve got tons of little flowers (baby beans, do-do-do-do-doo). Underneath – my Buttercrunch that I started from seed (have to keep saying that cuz I can’t believe how good everything did this year!). I’ve also got sweet onions in that bed – that we started from root cuttings off onions I cooked with. Yes. I AM channeling Laura Ingalls… 😉

Moving into the tomato area…

The two big plants in the corners are the tomatillos – going great guns.

The two small plants are basil.

Except…they’re not. Somehow in the seed starting process, things went astray, awry and maybe even avast. They are most definitely tomatoes. I ASSUME they’re Argo paste tomatoes, but…I guess we’ll see!

I kept looking and waiting for them to look like basil – rubbing the leaves and sniffing….nope. NOT basil! LOL

The Sweethearts are doing well – they’re such a solid performer! This is a grape tomato and they’re sweet as sugar!

My Ancho Magnificos are really flourishing. Not as fast as Wayne thinks they should – he keeps worrying that our soil isn’t as good as it “was last year”. Cuz…we don’t have a thousand peppers by mid-May! 😉 But…we’ve got a bevy of flowers (aka baby peppers, do-do-do-do-dooo).

Finally, into Finn’s favorite part of the garden (cuz…he can reach these!).

We’ve got lavender… with some flowers around the edge…

And the blueberries and raspberries….

You DO have to keep a close eye on the fruit – those rascally squirrels are known berrytarians!

Last, but not least, Finn’s favorite – the Pink Peace!!

No more pictures of turnips, mustards and collards…we had two big harvests…

And some gorgeous radishes!

So – there you have it! The garden is doing its thing! 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Comfort & Hope Sneak Peek With Video Tutorial

Posted on May 22, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday!! I hope you’ve had an awesome week. Headed into a long weekend! So…put on your 3-day weekend pajamas! 🙂

If you were able to join me for my YouTube video yesterday – I appreciate you spending some of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay…here ’tis!

This card is a sneak peek of the new Comfort & Hope set from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. And it’s a sweet one – especially when paired with some wonderful textural paper from the In Good Taste DSP (also coming on 3 Jun in the new catalog). Take a look-see:

The color palette for this one is from the Global Design Project color challenge this week.

I started with a piece of stucco-looking paper from the new In Good Taste DSP (I can’t wait for you to get a good look at this paper in person – it’s amazing!) and began to build my “ink collage”.

In Blushing Bride, I stamped the wreath image from the Comfort & Hope set. Then I started adding leaves in stamped-off-once Pretty Peacock and faceted gems (not real – stamped!) in full strength Pretty Peacock.

The grid pattern stamped image is done in Soft Sea Foam – as are the little dots. These are all images from Comfort & Hope! I also added a couple of leaves in Soft Sea Foam.

Once all the stamping was done, I cut a Stitched Rectangle die from the middle of the panel and matted that die cut on Pretty Peacock. I used Liquid Glue to adhere the remaining “frame” to a Pretty Peacock mat. Then I popped the cut out back onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a medium-sized simple bow with the gold trim from the new Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (available 3 Jun) and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the sentiment from Comfort & Hope in Pretty Peacock. I added a grid image and some dots in Soft Sea Foam, and a few “faceted gems” in Pretty Peacock. Then I cut it out with the Timeless Label Punch.

I popped the sentiment onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, added a few Gold Metallic Pearls – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a second sentiment in Pretty Peacock to a Whisper White panel. Then I inked and stamped more collage images in Blushing Bride, Pretty Peacock and Soft Sea Foam.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Pretty Peacock mat and into my Gray Granite card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more collage elements on the front…

…and some of the In Good Taste DSP – stamped with Comfort & Hope images – on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I love that this pretty Comfort & Hope set is so conducive to creating stamped collages! The sentiments are also pretty perfect – especially for the times we’re in, huh?

And how cool does it look stamped on the In Good Taste DSP!?? I hope you like!

If you want to recreate this card – all the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!

Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Field Of Flowers Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 21, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a sketch challenge – and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

I know I made you guys a card just the other day using a sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set (new in the 2020-2022 Annual Catalog coming on 3 Jun) but…I needed to use it again. And…yeah. I ALSO used the Field of Flowers set. But…yep – needed to use IT again, too. It was a moral imperative.

Not really – I just like them! 😉 Take a look-see:

Here’s our sketch – I turned it upside down!

I started with a Whisper White panel that I embossed in the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and matted on Poppy Parade for the card front.

On a smaller panel, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the grass image from Field of Flowers in Granny Apple Green ink. Then I lightly sponged the bottoms of the grasses with Garden Green, using a Sponge Dauber, and stamped it again.

I added a couple of tall stems/leaves, also in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green. I inked it first in Granny Apple Green, then used Garden Green on the edges of the leaves, with a Sponge Dauber.

I used the double-flower image in Field of Flowers in Poppy Parade to stamp the card front with two flowers. Since this is a double-image stamp, I covered one of the flowers with a sticky note (so that I could stamp just one flower at a time). 🙂

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the Lovely You sentiment in Daffodil Delight – then I matted the panel on Poppy Parade.

On a seperate piece of Whisper White, I stamped the double-flower image again – twice – in Poppy Parade and fussy cut the flowers. I also stamped the five-flower image twice – once in Highland Heather and once in Daffodil Delight. Then I used the bundled Confetti Flowers Border Punch to punch out all of the little flowers.

I wrapped a length of Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Ruched Ribbon around the panel, securing it in the back with Glue Dots. Then I wrapped a short piece around it, tying it snugly to create a “faux bow”.

I adhered all my cut flowers, using a combination of Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I added some dragonflies from the Field of Flowers set in Pool Party ink, popped the panel onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I used my Stamparatus to add a second Lovely You sentiment in Daffodil Delight to a Whisper White panel. I also stamped another couple of Field of Flowers stems and flowers in Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather. A few Pool Party dragonflies finished it off.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Poppy Parade mat and into my Daffodil Delight card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Field of Flowers flowers on the front…

…and on the envelope flap!

Et Voila! I mean, really? Is it any wonder that I wanted to use the gorgeous Field of Flowers set again? That grass border has just been calling my name and – I don’t know what those big flowers are, but…I LOVE them! Handy that you can also cut out a bevy of sweet little blossoms with the bundled Confetti Flowers Border Punch, too!

I am also smitten by the sweet sentiments and wonderful fonts – plus flower and leaf images! – in the Lovely You stamp set!

You’re My Person. Pretty much says it all, right? But – if that doesn’t do it for you – there’s 10 others that will! 🙂

I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up!’s Day of Service and a Paper Pumpkin Sneak Peek!!

Posted on May 20, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp DAAAAAAY!!!

Hope your week is going swimmingly!

My post today is two fold – to let you know about a fun event taking place TOMORROW – that YOU can take part in! And, for the second fold, to share a quick look at the seriously-cute May 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit called A Kit In Color (you’ll see why in a just a second).

First – tomorrow, 21 May 2020, is the Stampin’ Up! Day of Service and Sara Douglass, CEO of Stampin’ Up!, will be going live on her Facebook page at 2:00 PM MT to create 20 cards with the COVID-19 Give Back PDF and she’s inviting everyone to join her!

Here’s Sara to tell you all about it in her Facebook Live Video!

If you want to join in during the live event – here’s what you’ll need handy to make the cards with Sara:

So that you can prep your Designer Series Paper before the event starts – here’s a PDF of the instruction/cut sheet!

If you’re unable to participate in the live craft party, the replay will be available to view any time on Sara’s Facebook page!!

Okay – fold one done! 🙂 Hope you get a chance to “hang” with Sara – she’s a lot of fun and it’s all going to a great cause!

Fold Two! Paper Pumpkin!

My May Kit arrived yesterday and I opened it up right away. I’d heard good things about it and was anious to put the cards together!

I found a cute stamp set – and a Misty Moonlight Ink Spot!! Whoo-hoo!!!

Plus a bunch of die cut designs, banners, CLOUDS!, twine, vellum pieces and ADORABLE puffy flowers in the new 2020-2022 In Colors (plus Purple Posy!) – with card bases and envelopes to make 8 full size cards and 4 notecards!

I got busy right quick and, about an hour later (okay – twelve twine bows sort of slowed me down. Don’t judge!) – I had them all done!

How. Pretty. Are. Those!?

This set REALLY showcases the new In Colors and lets you see how well they work together!

The first full-sized card is based on Just Jade with the pretty rainbow “postage stamp” die cut on the front! And – do you see the flowers?? They’re sort of “puffy” and I love them!

The second full-size card has super fun clouds on a rainbow base! And my favorite sentiment in the whole kit!

Finally, there are four notecards, with a Purple Posy base. This one is really fun – and I kept hearing Mike Myers in my head saying “Groooovy, baby”!!! 😉

I didn’t do anything to the insides yet – I’m keeping them blank so that I can add a sentiment as I need one. Happy Birthday. Congratulations. Welcome to the Team! These are great cards – ready for any occasion!!

Here’s a quick how-to-put-it-together video! JIC my highly detailed instructions didn’t help. 😉

This is a great kit – and…the June kit – created with lots of input from Sara herself – looks to be equally awesome!

This exclusive Sara-inspired Paper Pumpkin kit is here to help you #sharesunshine. It includes supplies for eight handmade cards and is specially designed to help you create a box full of cheer. Once you’ve made all the cards, use any leftover pieces to decorate the box. Fill it with yellow goodies, add the included adhesive label, address it to someone special, and brighten their life with a little sunshine!

Here’s Sara again to tell you more…

And here’s the deets!

Box of Sunshine

Kit contains supplies for 8 cards and envelopes (2 cards of 4 designs)
Card size: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Envelope size: 4-1/2″ x 5-3/4″
Coordinating Colors: Basic Black, Bumblebee, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce, White, and Gold

Box of Sunshine Information: This kit includes extra pieces and stickers (including a sticker label) to help you create cards AND a Box of Sunshine filled with treats and goodies to send to a friend. (Treats not included! Darn it!)

Now – like the May kit, I have a sneaking suspicion that this one could sell out in a hurry! So…if you’re already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber – don’t suspend or skip for this month! If not, but you’d like to sign up, there are two ways!

You can sign up for a subscription where you’re billed monthly for your kit – click here to get started.

Finn Fan Fix

Finn is a…teensy bit…of a medler.

Not a lot – I mean, he doesn’t dig in the trash.

Mostly.

Or chew things to bits.

Mostly.

Or…steal things.

Mostly.

Unless…it’s a peppermint wrapper.

And then, all bets are off.

He’s standing in the front of the tack room door, all innocent, waiting for me to let him out.

Real casual.

Whistling, even. To throw me off.

And it almost worked.

Huh? Wrapper? In my mouth?!?

How in the world….????

Stampin’ Up! Field of Flowers Sneak Peek for Every Season

Posted on May 19, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Tuesday, y’all! I’ve heard from a few folks who have received their catalogs from me – so…if you think you were on my list – be checking your mailboxes! The USPS moved them pretty fast! 🙂

My card today is one that I made with my Pre-Order goodies which, oh-by-the-way!, YOU could select as part of your Starter Kit if you join right now (instead of waiting until the 3rd of JUNE!!)! Ask me how!

No. Really. Ask me how and join the team!

You know you want to! 😉

Anywho – I pulled out the Field Of Flowers stamp set and combined it with some paper from the Flowers For Every Season DSP and the coordinating Memories & More Card Pack. Take a look-see:

Easy peasy – and not a fussy-cut in sight! 😉

The layout for this one hails from the As You See It Challenge this week.

I started with a Just Jade card from the new Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes pack.

For the card front, I matted a piece of Flowers For Every Season DSP on a piece of Bumble Bee card stock. Then I cut a coordinating piece with a Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I matted a strip of yet another design from the Flowers For Every Season DSP on Bumble Bee and adhered it with Liquid Glue. Then I wrapped a piece of the open weave ribbon from the new Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack around it – adhering it in the back with a couple of Glue Dots.

I cut down one of the small cards in the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack. Then I stamped the pretty sentiment from Field of Flowers in Shaded Spruce and matted it on Bumble Bee.

I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, added a Bumble Bee 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dot and the card front was done!

On the inside, on a Very Vanilla panel, I stamped a second sentiment from Field of Flowers in Shaded Spruce. In the corner, I added the stems in Shaded Spruce and the sweet wild-flowers image in Crushed Curry. And…I thought I was done. But then…I spied with my little eye…the dragonflies in the set! Love dragonfly images, so…on they went in Tuxedo Black!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Bumble Bee mat and into the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

The pre-printed envelope from the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes got more of the Field of Flowers flowers on the front…

…and the flap is already decorated on the inside, so…done!

Et Voila! You guys – I LOVE this Field of Flowers stamp set! The big focal sentiment “always”, in the gorgeous font, is designed to work in combination with the other words and phrases in the set. And…the flowers are wonderful!

And there is no denying the beauty of the Flowers for Every Season DSP, is there??

I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Mountain Air Sneak Peek

Posted on May 18, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, my peeps! Welcome to another week. If you’re still self-isolating, then…it’s week 52 of May!

Just helping you keep oriented to the goings on in the “outside world”! You’re welcome. 😉

My card today is a special request for a thank you card, for a man, who lives in the mountains and has a tree trimming/clearing business. Obviously, I headed for the Mountain Air stamp set with its bundled Majestic Mountain Dies (carrying over), and I pulled a sentiment from the new Lovely You stamp set (NEW in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog). Take a look-see:

I pulled the layout for it from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I started with a piece of Crumb Cake card stock and, in Early Espresso, stamped the mountain range from Mountain Air. I stamped it a second time in Crumb Cake – offsetting it a little to create a “range”.

Then I embossed the panel in the Woodland Embossing Folder.

Across the bottom of the panel, with Liquid Glue, I adhered a strip of Early Espresso cardstock. I also cut a triangle and adhered it on the right side.

I created the “barn wood” fence/wall using strips of the new In Good Taste DSP (also coming on 3 Jun in the new catalog). The strips varied in width. I laid them out in a lattice fashion…

…and used Liquid Glue to adhere them. Then I trimmed the excess with my Paper Trimmer and matted the panel on Mossy Meadow.

I stamped the sentiment from Lovely You in Mossy Meadow on a piece of Crumb Cake card stock, using my Stamparatus. Then I cut it out with a Stitched Nested Label die.

I stamped a few trees from Mountain Air in Mossy Meadow on Crumb Cake and cut them with their matching dies in the Majestic Mountain die set. I also cut a few of the detailed trees dies from Mossy Meadow.

The final piece of prep was a double-loop Linen Thread bow.

Then I laid everything out until I got it how I wanted it (including a length of new 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim)…and took a couple of pictures.

First with everything in place…

…and then I picked up the sentiment…

I adhered the Faux Suede Trim using Glue Dots on the back of the card front, then I added all the trees with Liquid Glue.

The double-loop bow is adhered with a Glue Dot. Then I popped the sentiment and final tree on with Dimensionals. And the card front was done.

On the inside, I stamped the mountain range in Early Espresso and Crumb Cake on a Crumb Cake panel. Then I adhered a strip of Early Espresso and more strips of In Good Taste DSP.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into my Early Espresso card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got some Mossy Meadow pine trees on the front…

…and more of the In Good Taste DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Well – what do you think? Mountains – check. Trees – check. Masculine – check. Thanks to the wonderful scenic images from the Mountain Air set and the matching dies in Majestic Mountain – it’s pretty easy to create any sort of mountain scene! So glad that it’s carrying over!

And the brand new Lovely You stamp set is chock full of all sorts of sentiments – in really pretty fonts!

I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix

When it’s hot in the summer, the smart oh-so-furry dog spends most of his time with the wind blowing thru his flowing locks.

In the house.

And in the barn.

He stands in front of the big fan until we turn it on for him.

Stampin’ Up! World of Good Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial for The Paper Players

Posted on May 17, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – it’s a clean-and-simple Theme challenge from our amazing Ann this week and it’ll for sure jump-start your creative mojo! I hope you’ll come and play along. 🙂

If you were able to join me yesterday for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me! If you weren’t able to watch the live version, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!

I went – once again – to the wonderful new Beautiful World Bundle – part of the World of Good Suite in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. And…it’s a fun-fold. Again.

Sorry?

Nope – not sorry.

Take a look-see:

And here’s this week’s Paper Players theme challenge! Hope you’ll join the fun and show us your projects! I can’t wait to see what you create! 🙂

I also played along with the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge – going across the middle row!

I first saw this fun-fold on my friend Karen Ksenazakovic’s blog and decided to try one of my own!

I started by cutting my piece of Early Espresso 8 1/2″ x 11″ card stock as shown in the video. First I scored it at 5 1/2″ along the long side. Then I scored it along the short side at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″.

Using my Paper Trimmer, I cut out the small rectangles on one side.

Once I folded the card stock, I was left with a tent card that holds a secret “gate card” on the inside!

Next, I adhered some wordly paper from the World of Good Specialty DSP to the front of the card base with Liquid Glue.

I cut a piece of Bumble Bee card stock and embossed it in the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. With a sponge, I lightly brushed over the raised areas of the card stock with Crumb Cake ink. Then I tore the edges of the panel and adhered it to the card front, on an angle, with Liquid Glue.

With the die in the World Map Die set (bundled with Beautiful World), I cut out a bunch of North America world dies (there’s also a die with the “other” half of the world) from Crumb Cake and used Liquid Glue to adhere them to a Crumb Cake panel. Then I used my Trimmer to cut the panel down to the size I wanted – and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using SNAIL, I adhered a length of Bumble Bee 2020-2022 In Color 1/4″ Ribbon and a piece of the open-weave ribbon in the new Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (all this ribbon will be available to you on 3 Jun!!).

Using the dies in the World Map Die set, I cut a Mossy Meadow circle and a detailed globe and adhered them together with Liquid Glue. I also cut a “stand” from some new Brass Foil (coming 3 Jun), and added it with Liquid Glue, too. Then I adhered it to the card front.

I tied a double-loop Linen Thread bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

I stamped the Beautiful World sentiment in Mossy Meadow on Bumble Bee card stock and cut it with a die from the Tasteful Labels Die set (3 Jun). Then I popped it over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card front was done!

On the inside, I matted two pieces of World of Good Specialty DSP on Bumble Bee and then to the gates with Liquid Glue.

On the All-the-Way-Inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Beautiful World in Mossy Meadow on Whisper White. Then I added a compass in Crumb Cake over top. In the corner, I stamped a Mossy Meadow inkwell and Crumb Cake quill.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Bumble Bee mat and into the card base and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the inkwell and quill on the front…

…and more of the World of Good Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I LOVE this hidden-gate fun fold (I just made that up – I have NO idea if that’s what it’s called!), don’t you?? It’s another great opportunity to showcase our beautiful papers and stamp sets, like this Beautiful World and the bundled World Map Dies, and World of Good Specialty DSP! This is going to be a go-to Suite when you need a masculine card, I am thinking!

I hope you like!

And I can help you get this stamp set – either now as a new demonstrator (yes, you can select pre-order goodies for your Starter Kit!!) or after 3 June (consider my Online Host Club!!). Give me a shout!

Finn Fan Fix

I give you…Wayne “training” Finn to leave his plate alone after lunch.

Step 1 – place plate on arm of chair…

…ensuring dog sees said plate.

Step 2 – using hand signals, tell dog “leave it”.

Step 3 – analyze dog’s reaction to “leave it” command.

Expert analysis of reaction….uhm….unprintable on a public blog.

Step 4 – assess efficacy of training session.

Expert analysis…epic FAIL. 😉

Better luck next time, Dad!

Stampin’ Up! Flowers For Every Season Sneak Peek Fun Fold With Video Tutorial

Posted on May 15, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday!! I hope you’ve had an awesome week. And are looking forward to whatever “the weekend” means to you these days! 🙂

If you were able to join me for my YouTube video yesterday – I appreciate you spending some of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay…here ’tis!

The new Flowers for Every Season Suite (coming soon – like 3 Jun – in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog!) is the DSP that showcases the new 2020-2022 In Colors. This gorgeous, flower-strewn paper, showcases the new colors perfectly. I used it – and the coordinating Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack – to make a super easy fun fold card for you. Take a look-see:

How pretty is that paper? Every one of the new In Colors – prefectly blended by the genius Stampin’ Up! designers!

This card is super easy! I started with a regular 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card base and scored and folded it at 2 1/8″ and again at 6 3/8″.

Next, I matted two pieces of the Flowers for Every Season DSP on Just Jade card stock (Bumble Bee for the video card) and then adhered them to the gates with Liquid Glue.

I used Memories & More Card Pack elements – matted on Just Jade (or Bumble Bee) – for the panels. Each panel was cut down to fit. When I adhered the panels – the top one is adhered on the left-side gate and the bottom sentiment panel is adhered only on the right-hand gate.

I tied a little bow out of the one of the new 2020-2022 In Color RIbbons and adhered it with a Glue Dot. A 2020-2022 Enamel Dot finished off the card front!

On the inside, I matted a Whisper White panel on the appropriate mat-color and then into the card base with Liquid Glue. Then I added one of the pretty stickers from the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack. And…that was it for the card. Easy peasy!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another of the flower stickers on the front…

…and a little more of the DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I love this beautiful Flowers for Every Season DSP – it looks like a wonderful cottage garden – a new one on every sheet! And the Memories & More Card Pack (not just for scrapbooking!) is amazing – chock-a-block full of designs in small and large formats, flower, leaves and sentiment stickers, and sentiments!! I hope you like!
