Pick A Season – Stampin' in the Meadows

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I made a Book Fold thank you card using the fun Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set, a Sale-A-Bration item you can get for FREE with a $60 order. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun theme challenge this week and I’ve used two Sale-A-Bration products for today’s card:

I scored & burnished my Granny Apple Green Card base and adhered the left book bind section closed with liquid glue. I adhered panels of the Toadstool Gardens Sale-A-Bration 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front sections.

I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set on a Basic White panel using Granny Apple Green for the top, Pecan Pie for the trunk and Melon Mambo for the roses. I fussy cut the tree with my paper snips. On another panel, I stamped the grass in granny Apple Green, the fence in Crumb Cake and the clouds in Balmy Blue. I cut the background panel with the large circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I popped the fussy cut tree on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Versamark ink on Crumb Cake card stock and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heat set the sentiment. I cut it out with the small Mixed Labels die and popped it on the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I decorated the card with three textured metallic dots and wrapped Crumb Cake baker’s twine around the binding and made a bow.

For the inside panel, I stamped the flower and small leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set using Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green inks on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how you can use different images to fill the tree on the Stampin’ Up! Pick A-Season stamp set. And I love the small sentiment and die from the Mixed Labels bundle – they are the perfect size for this little scene! Both the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set and the Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper are FREE items that you can choose with a $60 order during Sale-A-Bration, which runs through February 28.
