Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here is a simple thank you card made with the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature bundle and the pretty Bloom Impressions Sale-A-Bration designer series paper. 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:

I adhered a panel of Bloom Impressions designer series paper to a Shy Shamrock mat and adhered it to the front of a Petal Pink card base with dimensionals. I embossed a strip of Bloom Impressions DSP with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Shy Shamrock mat before adhering it to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature stamp set using Melon Mambo ink on Petal Pink card stock. I cut it out with the dashed circle die. I cut the next largest circle from Shy Shamrock and adhered the sentiment with liquid glue. I popped the layered sentiment on the card with dimensionals.

I made a Petal Pink bow and adhered it to the card under the sentiment and finished with Shy Shamrock shimmer gems.

I left the inside panel plain, simply trimming the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I only used the sentiment from the pretty Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature stamp set, but the gorgeous dies are one of my favorites. The Bloom Impressions DSP is an item that you can get for FREE with a $60 order during Sale-A-Bration which runs through February 28.

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Thank You Card

Good Morning! There are so many pretty bundles in the current Annual Catalog and one of my favorites is the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature bundle. With its simple and elegant images, beautiful sentiments and wonderful circle dies, it’s so easy to make pretty cards and I’ve paired it with the pretty Country Woods designer series paper for a thank you card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Country Woods designer series paper to an Early Espresso mat with liquid glue and popped it on the front of a Basic Beige card base.

I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature stamp set in Early Espresso ink on Basic Beige. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the eyelet circle die. I colored the flowers using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and the leaves with the Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. I cut an Early Espresso panel with the radiating circle die and adhered the floral die cut to the Early Espresso die cut.

I trimmed the left side of the layered circles and popped them on the card with dimensionals. I tied a knot with a short length of Basic Beige ribbon and adhered it to the stems with a glue dot. I finished the card with three Petal Pink dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature stamp set in stamped off Lost Lagoon ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The graceful flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature stamp set are really pretty and easy to color and the sentiments are wonderful. And the different styles of the circle dies are fabulous and perfect for layering.
