Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams Sneak Peek
Happy Friday everyone! I know you are looking forward to the weekend unless you are working. Have a great weekend working or not!
I used the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set (this is a sneak peek, it will be available January 3, 2021, in the new Stampin’ Up! 2020-2021 Mini Catalog) and the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy stamp set which is soon-to-be-available (but only for a LIMITED time!) Can you believe 2021 is just around the corner? Here hoping for a much better 2021 than 2020 has been.
My inspiration is from Catch the Bug Blog — Stella Says Sketch 817
Start with a Stampin’ Up! Misty Moonlight card stock base. No embossing for today’s card or die cuts, my Big Shot went on to it’s great rewards and the new one has not arrived, so I am back to the days before embossing was popular.
Cut panels of Stampin’ Up! Bumblebee card stock for your mats. Cut a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Gardens Designer Series Paper (DSP) and mat to one of the Bumblebee mats then adhere to the Misty Moonlight card base. Cut a different pattern of the DSP and place it over the first panel. Cut a 1/4″ strip of another and adhere across the top of the Bumblebee panel.
On a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black ink the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set. Color the flowers using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends markers in Mango Melody and Mossy Meadow. Add rhinestones from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
Stamp the greeting from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink on the lower right corner of the card base.
A sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. Flowers from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set are stamped in Mossy Meadow also.
A Stampin’ Up! Medium Size Envelope has a panel of the Dandy Garden DS adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Basic Black mat for the art piece. I realize as I am typing this and went to the catalog to get the name of the embossing folder that it is retired not current, but any embossing folder you like could be used to emboss the Smoky Slate panel for the art piece. 
To create the three strips at the right of the card, I started with a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock, the Gorgeous Grape ink, and a Water Painter. Swiping the ink pad on a piece of aluminum foil, water was added from the Water Painter, then using the Water Painter the ink was brushed and swiped on the card stock. Not liking how the panel looked, I laid it in the puddle of ink and held it up to let the ink run down the panel. I know I should have taken a picture of the panel before cutting it into the strips.
Using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Bundle, I cropped the piece that looks like a slide. You will end up with two panels that look like small mountain slides. #1 goes on the inside fold of the card below the greeting. You can see where the two panels go in the photo below. Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, have the bottom edges even so the mountain looking part will extend above the fold.
