Stampin’ Up! Abigail Rose Thinking of You
The card I am creating today is created using Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and Texture Chic Designer Series Paper.
I am joining the Krafty Chicks Challenge — theme for this week is Anything Goes.
I am also joining the Creative Creases Challenge as it is a fun fold challenge always.
I started with a card base of Soft Suede. You can see the scoring and cut line in the picture below. The greeting is one from my box ( I have a box of greetings so I sometimes can’t remember the stamp set).
I used this diagram in another post recently. It is Sharon Armstrong’s diagram. Happy I found out who to give credit to. Cut and score your card base according to the diagram. Score each side 2-1/8″ from edge of card stock. Score at 5-1/2″ the same as if you were making a regular card. Cut away the dark gray sections. Score the top portion, after you cut away the section on each side.
This is how the card looks when opened flat. You can see the card cuts at the end of the post for the Pool Party card stock mats and Texture Chic DSP. The flowers are fussy cut from a panel of Abigail Rose DSP and colored using Petal Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. When you popped the flowers over the pot be sure to only add dimensionals down the middle of so you won’t end up gluing your flowers to the background DSP.
This is how the card looks when it is opened up to form an easel card. The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set and is stamped in Soft Suede ink on a piece of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from the All That Dies.
The flower pot is a piece of Early Espresso card stock embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder after creating the pot. Cut a 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ of Early Espresso, measure 1/2″ from each side of the bottom of the square, mark with a pencil, and trim from the top corners to the 1/2″ mark at the bottom to create the pot.
I added a panel on the back for a message.
A medium Basic White envelope gets DSP from Texture Chic DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I may have made a card with this design before can’t remember, but I saw a cute one in my feed that had the little hippos on it and I should have saved it, but you know how that goes, I can find it again, unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find it, so since I have not used Plentiful Plants before I thought I would use it as I still wanted to use this card design. I found a diagram on the Internet for making the base. I still want the hippo card it was so cute.
The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Plentiful Plants stamp set is a part of a larger greeting. I only wanted the A Little Note portion so I stamped the greeting then cut off the portion I wanted and popped on the art piece on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The art piece is popped on the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals down the middle of the card. Gorgeous Grape dots from Glossy Dot Assortment are popped around the art piece. A Crumb Cake twine bow is created using twine from Bakers Twine Essential Pack. It is popped on the flower pot using a Glue Dot.
I stamped the greeting in Sweet Sorbet ink on a piece of Basic White card stock, then cropped using a Stylish Shapes Die. All the elements of the card are assembled on the card base and Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Marker and popped around the card.
This is a diagram I found on the internet of how to score and cut the card base. I did not score in the top portion as this diagram shows. I did follow the remaining instructions on cutting and scoring.
