Hello!
Today’s card features one of the Online Exclusives suites that was introduced in May. I’ve been making lots of cards for my monthly classes, but it is always a challenge for me to keep up with posting! This card uses the Lovely Garden Suite. It has beautiful images and greetings and I love the DSP. I started off with one layout idea in my head and it ended up with a totally different one!

- Basic White cardstock – cut one piece at 4 1/4″ x 11″ for card base; one piece at 4″ x 5 1/4″ for inside, one piece at 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ for die cut piece; one piece at 4″ x 5 for stamping
- Garden Green cardstock – cut one piece at 4 1/8″ x 5 1/4″, cut one piece at 2 7/8″ x 4 3/8″
- Lovely Garden DSP – cut one piece at 4″ x 3 1/4″; cut a different piece at 2 1/4″
Here’s how I made the card.
- Score Basic White card base at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
- Adhere the two different pieces of DSP to the larger piece of Garden Green cardstock.
- Run the 3 1/4′ x 4 3/4″ of Basic White cardstock through a die cutting and embossing machine with the third from largest rectangle from the Textured Notes Dies. Adhere to smaller piece of Garden Green cardstock
- Stamp the floral image with Memento Black Ink onto the 4″ x 5″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Tape piece down onto a piece of grid paper. Use the use the Thankful Garden masks to color the flower. Place first mask over the coordinating image and tape down. Use a blending brush to color the flower with Lemon Lolly ink. Repeat using Mask 2 and go heavier with the ink blending. For Mask 3, blend with Daffodil Delight ink. To color the leaves, go light when blending with Mask 4 and heavier with Mask 5. Mark the notch on the mask onto the grid paper so that you have easier placement for all of the masks. When coloring is completed, run through die cutting and embossing machine with coordinating die from the Thankful Garden dies.

- Stamp greeting with Memento Black ink in right bottom corner of the die cut rectangle.
- Adhere floral piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut a length of 1/8″ Daffodil Delight ribbon and tie a bow around DSP piece. (Note that this ribbon was part of the Floral Delight Suite and no longer available.) Adhere piece to card front
- Adhere rectangle piece over the DSP card front. Embellish with Darling Duckling pearl from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls embellishments. You can also use the Starburst Sequins that are part of the Lovely Garden Suite.
- Stamp leaf in lower left corner on piece of 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White cardstock. Color using Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker. Adhere to inside of card. Stamp a greeting or leave blank.
