The card shared today is another one made using Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Stamp Set and Dies.  With this stamp set being so versatile, there is no end to the different designs that can created with this stamp set.  Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set and Layering Leaves Stamp Set are also used.

I am entering the following challenges.

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge    

Creative Creases Challenge   

Using Designer Series Paper as the card base cuts down on the weight of the card so extra postage hopefully will not be required. 

1. A 5-1/2″ x 11″ piece of Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper is used for the card base. 
2. Score the piece at 2″, 4″, 8″, and 10″.  
3. Turn the piece to the long end. Measure down 2-3/4″ and make a mark. Do this on both side of the 12″ piece.  
4. Place the piece in the track of your paper trimmer, lining up the mark and the first score line.  
5. Cut at an angle from the score line to the mark. If you will click on this link, you can see Lisa Curcio‘s diagram of how to score and cut.  Scroll down the page a bit and you will see the download for the diagram.
6. Using a flower and leaf stamp from Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Stamp Set, stamp three zinnias and three leaves in Smoky Slate ink on a piece of Basic White card stock.
7. Color the zinnias in Melon Mambo, Berry Burst, Daffodil Delight, and  Highland Heather.
8. Color the leaves using Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, and Old Olive ink.
9. Die cut using dies from Simply Zinnia Dies.
10. Die cut a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper using the next to largest die from Perennial Postage Dies.
11. Arrange the zinnias and leaves on the Country Woods Designer Series Paper piece, once arranged to your liking, adhered to the piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
12. Create a loopy bow from Linen Thread adhering to the card front using a Glue Dot.
13. Adhere the finished panel to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
14. Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set in Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock.  Adhere  the panel to the inside of the card base.
15. A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper  adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 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.
