Here is an alternative card I made with my February 2021 Paper Pumpkin – Bouquet of Hope.

I love how the Stampin’ UP! Stitched So Sweetly and the Stitched Whimsy Dies add such a nice detail to the card:) I think I will use that size Stitched with Whimsy die more often on the inside of the cards I make.

Isn’t it fantastic? I made a video to show you how you can make one!

Here it is open…Thank you to jpollockdesigns.com for the side step measurements.

You can color the cowboy and horse any color with Stampin’ Blends. For that matter, you can color the cows any color, can’t you?!

You can put the message area inside the card but I like it on the back. My Stamparatus helped me keep my wires straight:)

Thanks for buzzing by, friends…

Here is a clean and simple card using the Stampin’ UP! Dragonfly Garden Punch Bundle and the Garden Wishes stamp set along with the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper. Once I learned that dragonflies didn’t bite, I just let them land on me while on the river in Pittsburgh and on the lake in Orlando. I love to admire God’s handiwork in them:)

Look how a 3″ x 3″ piece of the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper creates a prominent focal point on the card. So, you can make 4 cards with just one 6″ x 6″ piece. I stamped one of the big punchable dragonflies on the inside and colored it with a light Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends to tie in with the DSP dragonfly on the front.

Measurements: Blackberry Bliss panel: 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″, DSP: 3″ x 3″, Bumblebee for sentiment: 1-1/4″ x 3″, 1/2″ x 3″ for band of DSP between DSP and sentiment portion.

Thanks for buzzing by, friends…
