Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Hello Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle with the Simply Said stamp set and Lovely Garden designer series paper to make a Hello card for today. 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 I interpreted the flowers as the oval.

I adhered a panel of Lovely Garden designer series paper to the front of a Fresh Freesia card base with liquid glue and adhered a contrasting black and white striped panel on top.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White four times amd cut it out with the small flower die. I partially inked the smaller flower with the ink and stamped it on one side of a Basic White strip and then flipped it, inked it up again and stamped the other side, so I get a clean stamped flower. I colored the flowers with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends and cut them out with the coordinating small single flower die.

I used the leaf die from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden dies to cut the light side of Garden Green Two-Tone card stock and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set on Fresh Freesia and cut it out with the banner die fromt eh Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and also used glue dots to adhere two of the die cut flowers. I popped the last flower on the card with dimensionals and finished with Fresh Freesia dots and a white ribbon tie.

For the inside, I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I cut a single leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden leaf cluster die and adhered it and the last flower to the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle are so pretty and can be colored in so many ways! I also love how you have dies to cut single flowers from the bouquets because it gives you more options to use the stamp set. It’s a wonderful bundle!
