All Kinds of Crafty

Happy Saturday everyone! Today, is my first day of vacation for Spring Break, and I am looking forward to opening my box of Stampin’ Up! goodies that were delivered yesterday. I can’t wait to try the new In Color Stampin’ Pads. I will be sharing a sneak peek very soon.

Today, I am sharing a thank you card I made using the Paradise Garden Bundle that is part of the Garden Poetry Suite. Earlier this month, I posted a thank you card using the same bundle with a similar layout that you can see here. Doesn’t changing the colors really make a difference?

I used Shaded Spruce Two Tone card stock for the mats and the strip of color separating the DSP from the flowers, but you could use the 8 1/2″ x 11″ card stock too. One reason I use the two tone card stock a lot is because it is lighter which helps with the weight of the card when mailing.

To finish off the front of the card, I added three Garden Epoxy dots to the center of the Lemon Lolly flowers. Those dots are perfect for the center of flowers!

On the inside, I inked the small flower with Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce. (I carefully used the corner of the Shaded Spruce ink pad to just ink the stem and leaf.)

On the front of the envelope, I added some greenery from the Paradise Garden stamp set.

And on the back of the card, I added a strip of Garden Poetry DSP.
