The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments stamp set (this set retires soon).  I also used the coordinating dies, Marigold Moment Dies.  I used Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set for the greeting.

I am entering Use Your Stuff Challenge.  Their theme for this challenge is Layers and I have many layers on my card.

I started with a Fresh Freesia card stock card base.  I stamped on Basic White card stock the large image of flowers from Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments stamp set using Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss inks. I decided these flowers would be Carnations instead of Marigolds (even if Marigolds are good for a border around your garden to keep insects away) because I like the color of Carnations better than the orange & gold of Marigolds.  I die cut the flowers using a die from Marigold Moments Dies.

From a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock I die cut the two scallop trim pieces.  I did not realize until I had die cut that there were two designs on the one skinny little die.  It made for a great design.  I layers these two pieces of trim on Blackberry Bliss card stock and adhered the panel to the Fresh Freesia card base.  I stamped a greeting in Blackberry Bliss ink on a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock cropping using a die from Stitched Rectangle Dies (soon retiring). I popped the greeting across the bottom of my Carnations using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front. I like these gems, they seem to take on the color of whatever color you pop them on.

For the inside I die cut the trip from Blackberry Bliss card stock adhering to a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock. I then stamped the Mother’s Day sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink on the Fresh Freesia panel. The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I also added two Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to this panel.

Using a different stamp from Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments stamp set, I stamped on a Basic White envelope flap the smaller Carnation in Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss ink.  I stamped the leave in Shaded Spruce ink.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!
