Spring Fling Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Team Stamp It Groups Spring Fling Blog Hop!

Whether you hopped onto my blog from one of my teammates or started with my blog, I'm awfully glad you "hopped" by.
This card was made using the Shadow Box Technique along with the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper.

The Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper (DSP) is filled with adorable garden bugs, ladybugs, butterflies and more! And comes with full sheet patterns and cut-apart designs, making it easy to create whimsical, nature-inspired cards in no time.

For this card, one of the cut-apart designs was used.

The card starts with a Mossy Meadow cardstock 5" x 7" card base, scored at 1/2", 1", 6" and 6 1/2".  Next, one of the 4" x 6" cut-apart Cute as a Bug DSP panels was adhered onto the center of the card base. A 5" x 7" Basic White cardstock panel was adhered to the back of the card for the sentiment.

The second to the largest die from the Beautifully Celebrated die set was used to cut the opening on the 5" x 7" Mossy Meadow top panel.

 Once the opening was cut out, the card front was embossed using the Ladybug Picnic 3D Embossing folder, which will be available to purchase on March 3, 2026. The card front was a little larger than the Ladybug Picnic 3D Embossing folder, I did have to emboss the design twice. After the card front was embossed, it was scored at 1/2", 1", 6" and 6 1/2".

The Old Olive border around the card front opening was cut out using the two largest Beautifully Celebrated dies and adhered to the opening using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The creatures on the card front were fussy cut from the Cute as a Bug DSP and adhered onto the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The ladybug on the leaf is from the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes.
After everything was added to the card front, the card front and back were adhered together to make the shadow box. 
On the back of the card, the two little bugs were fussy cut from the Cute as a Bug DSP.

The sentiment is from the retired Happiest Day stamp set and has been stamped in Old Olive ink.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today!

True Blue Florals Quilt Card

This card was made using the January Product of the Month, True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper (DSP). When I wrote this post the True Blue Florals DSP was still available, but will only be available while supplies last.

The idea for this card came from a card made by The Pampered Stamper.

The card starts with a Balmy Blue cardstock card base, followed by a Balmy Blue panel that has been embossed using the All in a Row Embossing Folder.

The next panel is Night of Navy Two-Tone cardstock.

The two triangles are from the True Blue Florals DSP.

The Balmy Blue square in the center of the card has been cut using the largest Stylish Shapes square die.

The flower in the center of the card was fussy cut from the True Blue Florals DSP.

The sentiment was been cut out using Balmy Blue and Night of Navy cardstock along with the retired Wanted to Say dies.

Opal Rounds Assortment were adhered randomly to the card front.
For the inside of the card, a Night of Navy Two-Tone cardstock panel was adhered to the card base, followed by a Basic White panel.

The sentiment is from the retired Special Celebrations stamp set and has been stamped in Night of Navy ink.

The flower was fussy cut from the True Blue Florals DSP.

Opal Rounds Assortment were added to the inside of the card.
Because this was a square card, an envelope was made to fit the card.

The front of the envelope was stamped with the Addressed to You stamp and Balmy Blue ink.
