Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Thank You Card

Good Morning! Today I have another card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful photopolymer stamp set. Today’s card is a Thank You card and the tree is full of leaves, as if it was summertime, remember that? You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Garden Green panel with the Subtle 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Garden Green card base. I adhered a strip of Plaid Tidings designer series paper to a Pretty Peacock mat and adhered it to the card.

I used the sponge brayer to color the background in an ombre fashion with Garden Green, Pool Party, Balmy Blue and Pacific Point. I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful photopolymer stamp set in Soft Suede and the leaves in Garden Green, Granny Apple Green and Soft Sea Foam. I stamped the birdhouse and birds in Gray Granite on the panel and two in Mango Melody on another Whisper White panel. I cut the tree panel out with the Stitched Rectangles Die and adhered it to a Pretty Peacock mat. I fussy cut a Mango Melody birdhouse and popped it on the stamped one with a dimensional.

I colored a length of ribbon with the Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blend and wrapped it around the panel, securing it in the back with Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn photopolymer stamp set in Soft Suede ink on a Pool Party panel and cut it out with a Stitched Rectangles die. I popped it over the ribbon with dimensionals and added a Pretty Peacock butterfly to the corner. I popped the panel on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the birdhouse from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set on a Whisper White panel in Gray Granite ink and fussy cut the second Mango Melody birdhouse and adhered it over the Gray Granite. I stamped the leaves in Garden Green, Granny Apple Green and Soft Sea Foam and adhered a strip of Plaid Tidings DSP to the side. I adhered the panel to a Pretty Peacock mat and adhered it to the inside of the card.

The tree in the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set is really pretty with it’s gentle curves. And the stamp set comes with different images that you can stamp the tree tops with, so it’s great for making trees for any season.
