Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lovely Thankful Garden Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial

Happy Sunday, y’all!  Fun fact – this is National Banana Cream Pie Day.  Yum!  But – it’s ALSO the start of Chocolate Chip Cookie WEEK!  A pie with bananas gets a day – but a cookie with CHOCOLATE gets a week.  I think that pretty much says all that needs to be said!

My card today features neither bananas NOR chocolate!  It’s all about beautiful flowers – from the new Thankful Garden bundle – which includes Decorative Masks!  And a little Lovely Garden DSP.  They’ll both be available in just a couple of days as new Online Exclusives!  Take a look-see!

The fun layout was inspired by this week’s Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge.

I started with a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of the new Lovely Garden DSP – yes, it has black-and-white designs.  I found a spot in the top left corner to act as a focal point, then used my Paper Trimmer to cut from the bottom edge and the bottom right edge to that point – thus cutting out the “ray”.  Note: words are not as good as a video so…check that out! 🙂

Then I adhered the cut panel to a Pretty in Pink mat to create the card front.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped both floral images from the new Thankful Garden stamp set in Early Espresso ink.

Using the masks – and small Blending Brushes – I colored the images:

For the old fashioned roses:

– Mask 1 – used a very dry brush in Daffodil Delight ink.

– Mask 2 – Daffodil Delight ink.

– Mask 3 – Peach Pie ink.

– Mask 4 – Granny Apple Green ink

– Mask 5 – Garden Green ink.

– Mask 4 (again) – went back over the leaves with the almost-dry Garden Green brush.

For the hydrangea:

– Mask 1 – used a very dry brush in Pretty in Pink ink.

– Mask 2 – Pretty in Pink ink.

– Mask 3 – Peach Pie ink.

– Mask 4 – Granny Apple Green ink

– Mask 5 – Garden Green ink.

– Mask 4 (again) – went back over the leaves with the almost-dry Garden Green brush.

Using the dies in the bundled Thankful Garden die set, I cut out both images.

I used the dies to cut three sets of leaves (two with the many-leaves die and one with the three-leaves die) from Granny Apple Green cardstock.  Then I used the Small Blending Brush to add Garden Green ink to all the die cut leaves – using quite a bit of ink on the three-leaf die cut to make it dark.

To assemble the card front, I thought it would be useful to go ahead and adhere the card front to my Basic Black card base using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.  That way I could let all the pieces and parts spill off the edges of the card front!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the yellow roses up in the corner of the card front.  Then I adhered the two multi-leaf die cuts with Liquid Glue and added the hydrangea with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the three-leaf die cut and a bow tied with two lengths of Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the Thankful Garden sentiment in Peach Pie ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut it out with the next-to-smallest Perennial Postage die.  Then I adhered the sentiment over the bow with double-stacked Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added some Adhesive-backed Heart Sequins and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped the second Thankful Garden sentiment in Peach Pie ink and a small leaf in Garden Green to a Basic White panel. I added a small Adhesive-backed Heart Sequin by the sentiment.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Pretty in Pink mat and then into the Basic Black card base and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the little Thankful Garden leaf in Garden Green on the front…

…and more of the Lovely Garden DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  My, oh my – aren’t these Thankful Garden flowers lovely!?  Hydrangeas are some of my favorite flowers – and I really love them in pink!  I have become such a fan of the Decorative Masks, too – they’re so great for perfectly coloring their coordinating images!  You’ll be able to get this whole bundle on 4 March – along with the coordinating Lovely Garden DSP.  I know you can’t wait!

I hope you like!
