This is a very special Birthday Card. It is definitely a little on the “fiddly” side, but I think well worth the time and effort.
I I could hardly wait to get my hands on this set. I am a gardener and this one is ‘right up my alley’. This is the way I want my garden to look.
I used many markers to color all of the elements of this card. I didn’t want to use the Stampin’ Blends and have the colors bleed through. The markers worked beautifully. This is a lovely project and I am so pleased with the result.
This makes me impatient for spring and summer and gardens small and large to spring up all around the city. I love the fragrances, the color, the birds and the butterfly’s.
I used lots of Whisper White Cardstock for this card. The Base is 8 1/2″ by 5 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/2″. The Brick wall, the gate, the arch and the inside layer are all Whisper White. Also the cut flowers, the cat, the birds and the sentiment are all Whisper White. I did use old olive for the leaves cascading down and climbing up the wall.
The Wall is 3 34″ by 5″ and the inside layer is 4 by 5 1/4″, all of the other pieces are cut from scrap Whisper White and Old Olive.
The markers used to color the flowers and leaves include Real Red, Melon Mambo, Pineapple Punch, Pumpkin Pie, Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, and Smokey Slate.
Now is a great time to join. From January through the end of March 2020 you get $125 worth of product, plus the Mini Trimmer, plus the Designer Series Sampler pack, plus an additional Stamp Set of your choice, a $185 value for $99.

This Honey Bee Birthday Card features the ‘Golden Honey specialty Designer Series Paper’. This paper is available free during Sale-A-Bration with Stampin’ Up!
In this video I show you how to make a hexagon shape using your Stitched Nested Label dies.
This card was great fun to put together and I finally figured out the Hexagon!
I used a Basic Black card base that was 8 1/2″ by 5 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″. Each of the pieces on the front of the card were 2″ by 5 3/8″. There were two pieces of the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper and one piece of So Saffron. I also used a piece of Whisper White paper for the inside cut at 4″ by 5 1/4″
This Card is using the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper, isn’t it Stunning?
I used Poppy Parade Cardstock for the Card Base, I cut 2 Pieces 11” by 4 1/4“ scored and folded at 5 ½ “, plus scrap to stamp and cut out your flowers. I used a piece of Whisper White, cut at 4″ by 5 1/4″ for the inside plus a small piece of scrap for the sentiment. In Old Olive I used a small piece of scrap for the leaves. I cut the large poppies from the Peaceful Poppies DSP cut 4 ¼” by 5 ½ “ 1 piece Whisper White 4” by 5 ¼ “, plus scrap for your sentiment. I cut the raised poppies from Poppy Parade cardstock.
Following are the Video instructions for cutting the angles and assembling the cards, plus some additional Cards I made that are quite similar
