Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden is part of the new Online Exclusives release that will be available on March 4. It includes a pretty floral stamp set with coordinating dies and there is also a set of designer series paper that goes with it – the Lovely Garden designer series paper. I used both of these for a simple encouragement card. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post and I also included a picture of the bundle and the beautiful DSP as well.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I adhered a panel of Lovely Garden designer series paper to the front of a Garden Green card base with liquid glue. I adhered a colorful panel of the DSP to a Basic Black mat and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set using Versamark ink on Basic Black and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut out the sentiment with the long label die from the Delightful Wishes dies.

I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finished with three Melon Mambo glossy dots.

For the inside, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set using twice stamped off Melon Mambo ink on Basic White. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. Isn’t that big flower impressive!

The Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle is so bold and the beautiful Lovely Garden DSP is so colorful and bright. Here is a picture of the stamp set and dies that are included in the bundle. There is also a set of masks for coloring the flowers, but I forgot to include it in the picture. I need to use the masks to color one of these flowers soon!

And here is the pretty DSP. It will be great for all sorts of Spring card making.

These products are part of the Lovely Garden Suite Collection and will be available next week on March 4, 2025!
