Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set with the pretty Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week and here’s the fun sketch we are using:

I stamped cluster of small flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set in Poppy Parade ink all over the front of a Poppy Parade card base to give it texture. I adhered two panels of Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set in Poppy Parade ink on Basic White and cut the sentiment out with the small rectangle from the Something Fancy dies. I ran some Stampin’ seal across the card front and adhered some Garden Green ribbon on top. I adhered the label on top of the ribbon with dimensionals.

I stamped the poinsettia flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set in Poppy Parade ink on Basic White. I stamped the centers in Wild Wheat ink. I stamped five little leaves in stamped off Garden Green and stamped the leaf centers in Mossy Meadow. I fussy cut all the flowers and leaves with my paper snips and brushed Wink of Stella on the flowers to give them some sparkle. I adhered the flowers together with a glue dot and popped them on the card with a dimensional. I adhered the leaves around the flowers with liquid glue and finished with white sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small poinsettia from the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set in Poppy Parade ink on Basic White. I stamped the center in Wild Wheat and stamped leaves around it in stamped off Garden Green and Mossy Meadow. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love poinsettias for Christmas cards. and these flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set resemble poinsettias. The great thing about this stamp set and the Garden Walk DSP is that there are flowers and designs that are perfect for traditional Christmas and other flowers that can be used for any occasion. Both these products are retiring when the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog retires, so they are only available while supplies last!
