Good Morning! Here is a simple hello card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves photopolymer stamp set with the Glorious Gingham designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a Berry Burst panel of Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Berry Burst card base. I used the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a leafy panel of Vellum Basics paper and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped two leaf sprigs from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Garden Green ink on Basic White and punched them out with the coordinating Bough Punch. I stamped three flower sprigs in Berry Burst ink on Basic White and punched them out. I adhered the leaves and flowers to the card front with dots of liquid glue. I adhered a loopy Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon bow with a glue dot to the bottom of the sprigs.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Versamark ink on Berry Burst card stock. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. Ii heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the label die from the Cheerful Daisies die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and finished the card with Berry Burst tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves in Berry Burst ink on Basic White. I covered it with a punched mask and stamped the leaves in Garden Green ink on top. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Glorious Gingham DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper has fresh gingham designs that are pretty for simple backgrounds. And they’re a perfect backdrop for the beautiful sentiments and flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set!
