Good morning and Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend! 🙂
My card today is super simple – and really clean, too.
Well. For me. 🤷♀️
I used the sweet Magical Meadow stamp set and dies – plus the pretty Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder – to make a Winter card. Not Christmas or even Holiday-specific! Just…happy Winter! Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I started by stamping the sentiment from Magical Meadow in Moody Mauve on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.
Above the sentiment, I colored a swath with my Light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend. Above that – I added a second swath with the Dark Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend.
I embossed the panel in the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder.
Then I adhered the panel to a Moody Mauve mat with Liquid Glue.
I used four of the dies from the Magical Meadow die set to cut out a Moody Mauve CS bough, a Very Vanilla CS bough and two boughs from the Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper – one in Lost Lagoon and one in Pretty Peacock paper.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the boughs to the cardstock – with the Lost Lagoon on the bottom and ending with the Very Vanilla bough on the top.
I added a simple bow – tied with two lengths of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine – using a little Liquid Glue.
Now – if you watch the short video I have linked below – you’ll see that I used two lengths of Linen Thread for that one. Uhm…yep – I totally ran OUT of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine before I could do the second card! 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Which one do you like better? Baker’s Twine or Linen Thread? I think – you could use either one, I like them both! 🙂
I added some Moody Mauve Adhesive-backed Speckled Dots and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped some foliage from Magical Meadow on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. I did one in stamped-off-once Pretty Peacock, one in full strength Lost Lagoon and the last in stamped-off-once Moody Mauve.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Moody Mauve mat and into my Thick Very Vanilla card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got the Magical Meadow foliage on the front…
…and a little bit of Winter Meadow DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Oh – I love this Magical Meadow bundle – you KNOW I’m a sucker for die cut foliage and this die set is FULL of them!! I really love them – and the fonts in the bundled stamp set are gorgeous. And – it’s always fun to add a little tone-on-tone texture with an embossing folder like Snowflake Sky!!
I hope you like!

Such a pretty card! Perfect layering, love the colors too! I’m sure that Finn hardly noticed his filthy feet…nothing to see here at all. 😉
Thanks so much, Amy! And yes – what dirty feets?!? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
This card is breathtaking !
You are the queen of layered foliage. The swatches of color look like they would be so hard to do. Thanks for the video.
Thanks very much, Sharon – and I promise, if I can make those swatches – YOU can, for sure! 🙂
What a pretty bouquet with a fabulous color combo! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
Thank you, Amy – and thanks for taking time to come by! 🙂
Really pretty! Love the rich colors on this and that embossing folder is a wow. So glad you joined us this week at FMS!
Thank you so much, Jen – appreciate the kind words! 🙂
I noticed the dirty feet and floor right away. And, you nailed his expression!
Very pretty card. Great colors, even though the mauve isn’t one of my favorites. THis is such a great suite! LOVE the DSP
They’re pretty obvious if you look – which, obviousLY, I did not! 🤦♀️🤦♀️. Thanks so much, Julie – glad that you liked the card! 🙂
Stunning card & dirty dog paws!!!
LOL – yes! They’re cute even covered in DIRT! :). Thanks, TL! 🙂
Really like the color combo and the EF! Finn’s expression — Mom! What don’t you understand about DOGS!! Thanks for brightening my day with both the card and Finn. You both rock!
I know. It’s like he’s my FIRST dog rodeo!! LOL! Thank you, Gail! 🙂
What an elegant card Mary! Just love that embossing.
