Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Video Tutorial

Good Morning! I hope you had a good weekend. Today I’m sharing the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes card that I made during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. This pretty bundle is so versatile and fun to play with. I based my card on a similar one in the Jan-Jun 2021 Mini Catalog, but made a flower with lots of dimension! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel here so you can view it there if you prefer.

I adhered a panel of Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base. I embossed a Seaside Spray panel with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder and cut it with the second largest Stitched with Whimsey die. I adhered it to the front of the card with multipurpose liquid glue.

I cut the flowers from the Dandy Wishes Dies in the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes bundle from Bumblebee card stock and colored the stem with the Mossy Meadow Stampin Blend. I cut the lacy flower from vellum. I cut the dandelion leaves from Mossy Meadow and grass leaves from Garden Green. I adhered the Vellum to the card front with a glue dot in the center. I gently bent the petals up in the Bumblebee petal clusters and adhered them together with glue dots and finished the center with a little octagon colored with the Mango Melody Stampin Blend. I adhered the Bumblebee flower next to the Vellum flower so that the tips of the petal covered any visible glue dot. I adhered the grasses and leaves to the card front with glue dots, starting with the long grass, the leaves next and finishing with the short grass on top. I also trimmed the bottom of the stems so they’re even with the grass bottoms.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes cling stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a strip of Basic White and trimmed the ends with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensional and accented it with a short length of Bumblebee Gingham trim tied with a Linen Thread bow. I finished the card front with a little bumble die cut from the Dandy Garden 6″x 6″ DSP.

For the inside, I stamped the dandelion from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes stamp set in twice stamped off Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Dandy Garden DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes bundle is really great for making with Spring cards! I spent some time in my garden this week and found a few budding dandelions that I pulled and they reminded me of this pretty suite, so I knew I had to pull it out. I love the contrast of the modern, angular die cut flower with the fine line drawn images – so many ways to use this pretty bundle!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! For today’s card I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes bundle and while I don’t like dandelions in my yard, I am so ready for spring that if I saw one of these yellow flowers in my yard, I would jump for joy! Plus the artwork in these stamps is exquisite! You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

We have a Sketch challenge this week and here is the pretty sketch we are using:

I started by adhering a pretty panel of the Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Bumblebee card base. Then I stamped the blooming dandelion image from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes cling stamp set on a Basic White panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the image with Mango Melody, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.

I cut out the flower with the third largest Stitched Rectangles die and adhered it to a Mossy Meadow mat with liquid glue. I wrapped a length of Mossy Meadow braided trim around it and tied a knot. Then I frayed the ends to make it wider and give it a bit of a messy look.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a small Bumblebee panel. I cut it out with the smallest long Stitched Rectangle die by using the two step method (I partially cut one end of the label with the die, moved the die and partially cut the other end) and adhered it to the panel with glue dots. I adhered a ladybug trinket to the label with a glue dot and popped the panel on the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the dandelion from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the side of a Basic White panel and colored it with Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the dandelion seeds in Memento Tuxedo Black after stamping off twice and stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow. I cut out a little bumblebee from another panel of Dandy Garden DSP with the coordinating die from the Dandy Wishes dies and adhered it to the top corner. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes stamp set has beautiful dandelion images and sweet sentiments. The Dandy Wishes dies has dies that coordinate with the images and other dies that you can make dandelions from colored card stock – I need to play with these next. So pick a dandelion, make a wish and blow!
