Thinking of You Card With the Garden Meadow Bundle

Spread warmth and kindness with a Thinking of You Card with the Garden Meadow Bundle by Stampin’ Up! It’s amazing how three simple things – stamps, ink and paper – can combine to deliver a hug in an envelope. When words alone aren’t enough, a handcrafted card fills in the blanks with color and care.

For this card, I went with soothing colors that are appropriate all year round. If you’d like brighter colors, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library for some inspiration!

With the Magical Meadow Stamp Set, you’re equipped to create not just a message, but an experience. So, let’s put our hearts into our hands and craft a handmade card today!

1. Fold the 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of Basic White cardstock in half at the 4-1/4” score line. 
2. Adhere one of the 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
3. Run the 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine, using the “arch” die from the Garden Meadow Bundle.
4. Using the 3-3/4” x 5” piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the “path” first using the Black Memento ink pad.  Stamp the remaining flower images around the path using the same ink.
5. Color in the flowers using the Dark Lemon Lolly Blend and the leaves using the Dark Pool Party Blend.
6. Layer the White cardstock onto the back of the Lemon Lolly cardstock so that the scene shows through the die-cut arch.  Tip:  I found it easier to put small dots of adhesive around the frame and then adhere White cardstock.  
7. Adhere the Lemon Lolly cardstock to the front of the card using Adhesive.
8. Using the other 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp 2 of the small flower images and the Quail image using Black Memento Ink.  Color in the 3 images as desired.  (I used the Light Pecan Pie for the Quail.)  Run through the Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the 3 images using the Garden Meadow Dies from the Bundle.  Adhere to the card using adhesive.
9. Using the remaining piece of White cardstock, cut out the the label die from the All That Dies.  Stamp the sentiment onto the label using Black Memento ink.  Fold the ribbon into thirds; glue to back of tag.
10.  Adhere tag to card front as shown in the sample using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
