Good morning and happy Friday. It’s been quite a week, has it not? I surely don’t know where we’re headed from here – it all feels broken. Maybe we can all help – be kind. To EVERYone. Let’s see if that works. It surely can’t hurt!
And – let’s maybe spread some beauty and love – with our cards, shall we? We’ve seen the smiles that our paper creations can bring – the comfort in hard times. The moment of lightness in dark days. They seem like little things – paper, ink, some ribbon…Dimensionals! But – sometimes they are just THE thing.
Well – that was a lot deeper than I planned. Sorry!
But I’m totally right.
Admit it. 😉
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!
We all send cards for birthdays – and today’s would be a great one! It uses the new and WUNNERMUS Blossoms in Bloom bundle with its spectacular floral images and the stunning die cuts. Take a look-see:
This one is going in the pot for the floral theme challenge at the Global Design Project.
And I think it works as a layered card for The Card Concept, too!
The florals for this one are reminscent of a card I saw created by Anna Helman over at Stampin Scrapping and More! 🙂
I started off by cutting the large floral die cut from the Many Layered Blossoms from a piece of Brass Foil. Before I cut it – I stuck the Brass Foil onto a piece of Adhesive Sheet.
Next, I placed a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock into my Stamparatus and used it to stamp the large floral from Blossoms in Bloom. I placed my die cut onto the card front and used it to correctly place all the stamps.
The large blue flowers were first. I inked them with Seaside Spray ink, spritzed them with water and then stamped them. I dried the image off and then used a Sponge Dauber to add some Misty Moonlight in the middle of the flowers.
I repeated the stamp placement using the die cut for the small flowers – stamped in Highland Heather – and the leaves – stamped in Old Olive daubed with Mossy Meadow.
I ran the panel thru my die cutting and embossing machine in the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, then I sponged it with Crumb Cake using a wedge of Stampin’ Sponge. Finally, I matted the panel on Mossy Meadow.
I pulled the backing off the die cut and adhered it to the card front.
On a piece of Very Vanilla, I stamped the Blossoms in Bloom sentiment in Mossy Meadow and cut it with an Ornate Frames die. Then I embossed it in the Tasteful Textile folder and sponged it with Crumb Cake.
I tied a Linen Thread double-loop bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot. Then I used a Glue Dot on top of the bow – and some double-stack Stampin’ Dimensionals – and adhered the sentiment. A few Pearl Basic Jewels and some Glue-Dot-adhered Antiqued Corners finished the card front!
On the inside, I borrowed an idea from Kylie Bertucci and adhered part of a Brass Foil Many Layered Blossoms die cut and a small flower to a Very Vanilla panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow 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 some Blossoms in Bloom flowers in Seaside Spray and stamped-off-once Highland Heather, plus some stamped-off-once Old Olive/Mossy Meadow leaves and stamped-off-once So Saffron flower middles on the front….
…and a couple on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! How. Spectacular. Is. This. Bundle?!? Blossoms in Bloom – with it’s Many Layered Blossoms Die set bundled with it – will let you make blooms for DAYS! Weeks, even! And I adore them all vintagized with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and some Antiqued Corners! I hope you like!
And – you could pick THIS BUNDLE as your FREE BUNDLE when you join Stampin’ Up! during the month of June!! 😉

Finn Fan Fix
You may notice – in these hot summer weeks – that MOST of the pictures I share of the fur-kid are of him…sleeping.
In the air conditioning.
Cuz he’s furry AND smart! 🙂
He’s not too interested in spending extra time in the hot. He’s usually to be found on a cool smooth floor – preferably right in front of an AC vent!
Except…this time.
He’s on carpet. No vent around.
And – when you see the spot from the other direction…
Tucked in a corner, behind the chair – with his chin on the step.
Not really sure why that seemed like a good idea to him – but…he sure does look comfy!
