Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you've had a great day! I've been able to make a couple cards today, and this is one of them. This features the Blended Seasons Bundle, which is a part of the Color Your Season promotion in August. This promotion also includes a new set of Watercolor Pencils, and I used them here. This will be one of the cards made at my DSP Stamp Camp next week.
As a demonstrator, I'm able to get new products a month early, and I love that! It's so much fun getting new stuff early! If this sounds like something you might be interested in, you don't want to miss out on this month's Stampin' Pad Family Promotion! When you sign-up to become a demonstrator in July, you get to pick a full set of Classic Stampin' Pads for FREE in your starter kit! I'd love to have you join my Christy's Friendly Stampers Team!

I also used the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. This DSP is 6" x 6", and it's included in the Buy 3, Get 1 Free DSP Sale this month. You can see the other projects I've made with the DSP packs that are included in this sale by Click Here.
Dimensions:
- Early Espresso: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2' (card base)
- Crumb Cake: 4" x 5-1/4" (base layer)
- Cherry Cobbler: 4" x 5-1/4" (frame)
- Garden Green: 2-3/4" x 2" (leaves)
- Whisper White 4" x 5-1/4" (floral image) & 5" x 1" (greeting banner)
- Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP): 1-1/2" x 5-1/4"
- Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim: 6"
Instructions:
- Attach the DSP piece to the left side of the Crumb Cake piece. Wrap the Lace Trim around the right edge of the DSP, and attach the lace trim ends to the back of the Crumb Cake piece using scotch tape. Fold the Early Espresso piece in half (fold on the left) to form the card base. Attach the Crumb Cake piece to the center of the card front.
- Stamp the large floral stamp from the Blended Seasons Stamp Set onto the largest Whisper White piece using the Jet Black Stazon Pad. Color the center parts of the flowers with the Cherry Cobbler pencil from the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2. Color the entire flower, including the Cherry Cobbler parts with the Flirty Flamingo pencil. With a Blender Pen, soften the Cherry Cobbler section with it. Brush the Blender Pen onto a scrap piece of paper until color is gone. Soften the Flirty Flamingo parts with the Blender Pen, and then blend the two colors together a little bit where they meet. Color the small flower buds with the Cherry Cobbler pencil, and soften them up with the Blender Pen. Clean the Blender Pen as before. Color the flower centers with the Crushed Curry pencil, and soften it up with the Blender Pen. Clean Blender Pen.
- Color along the veins in the leaves with the Garden Green pencil. Color the leaves and stems with the Granny Apple Green pencil, coloring over the Garden Green sections, too. Soften the Garden Green parts with the Blender Pen. Clean the Blender Pen, and then soften the Granny Apple Green parts. Then, blend the two colors a little bit where they meet.
- Die-cut the floral image out with the largest frame die from the Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies. Die-cut the largest frame die out of the Cherry Cobbler piece. Then, die-cut the center of the frame out with the medium-sized frame die. When finished, there will be a frame that has "stitching" on the outer and inner sides of the frame. Centering the flowers inside the frame, attach the frame to the flower piece. Trim off any white cardstock showing from the outside of the frame. Attach it to the center of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Stamp the "Thank You" stamp to the center of the smallest Whisper White piece using the Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin' Pad. Punch both ends of the piece by inserting each end all the way into the Banner Triple Punch (using the thinnest, center guide), and punching. Die-cut the leaves die two times out of the Garden Green piece. Attach one to the back of the top, right side of the banner, and the other one to the back of the bottom, left side of the banner. Attach the banner across the bottom part of the flower layer (see picture).
Use SNAIL Adhesive when attaching, unless stated otherwise.
