Card #1

Bubble Bath Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Basic White Cardstock - scraps

Envelope Scraps - Kit

Basic Beige Label: Small – Kit

Blue Cardbase Scraps – Kit


1- Stamp the Background Pattern Design in Petunia Pop using the Stamp Off – Stamp On Technique to get a lighter color randomly on the cardbase. Focus on areas around the layout of the different pieces.


2- Cut any Blue Cardbase Scraps to 1 ½” x 4” (save at least ¼” x 4” for card #2). Add this a little lower than center of the cardbase. Add the Basic Beige Label a little to the left of center.


3- Stamp your greeting in Early Espresso ink on Basic White Cardstock. Cut out with the Label from The Love Of Spring Dies or another decorative label shape. Add to the Basic Beige Label with dimensionals.


4- Cut out with any Leaf Shape, I used the one from The Love Of Spring Dies, from the Envelope Scraps. Tuck under the greeting. Use as many as you would like.


5- Stamp 5-6 Flower images in Petunia Pop 1st & 2nd Generation. Cut out with coordinating dies. Add around the leaves with dimensionals.

6- Add 3-5 Pink Sequins.

All Done!


Card #2

Bubble Bath Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Basic White Cardstock - scraps

Basic Beige Cardbase Scraps - Kit

Blue Cardbase Scraps – Kit

Green Angled Piece – Kit


1- Stamp the Background Pattern Design in Petunia Pop using the Stamp Off – Stamp On Technique to get a lighter color randomly on the cardbase. Focus on areas around the layout of the different pieces.


2- Cut the Basic Beige Cardbase scrap to 2 ½” x 4”.

3- Stamp 5 Chives in Old Olive and cut out with coordinating die. Add at different levels to the Basic Beige Cardbase piece. Trim off any overhang along the bottom.


4- Layer the ¼” x 4” Blue Cardbase strip along the bottom over the Chives.


5- Stamp your greeting in Early Espresso ink and cut out with the Label from The Love Of Spring Dies. I used a partial die cutting technique to get a smaller size. To do this: slide the greeting to one side of the die and cut out the whole thing. Then slide the greeting to the other side of the die, make sure it fits inside any design (like stitching) – it will lock in place. Run through your machine with the top plate only covering the area you want to cut, leave the already cut area uncovered. See video for details.


6- Add your greeting over the Green Angled Piece and then place near the bottom of the Chives with dimensionals.

7- Stamp 6 Flowers, I did two in Petunia Pop 1st, & two in 2nd Generation, Two in Lost Lagoon. Cut out with coordinating die. Add around the Chives with dimensionals.


8- Add everything to the cardbase and add 3-5 Pink Sequins

All Done!





I have also created a video walking you through each step.

Card #1

Soft Sea Foam Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Lost Lagoon Cardstock – ½” x 5 ½” & 3/8” x 2 ½”

Green Herb Half Cardbase – Kit

Mint Label – Kit

Blue Cardbase Scraps - Kit


1- Cut ¼” from the Front Right Edge of the Soft Sea Foam Cardbase. Add the ½” Lost Lagoon Strip to the Inside Right Edge, so you can see it from the front when the cardbase is closed.


2- Cut the Green Herb Cardbase into Two 1 ¾” x 5 ½” Strips. Then rotate each strip and cut into Three 1 ¾” Squares. You should have a total of Six Squares. Add each square in any direction on the front of the cardbase with even spacing.

TIP: I like to start with the top and bottom. Place them along the top & bottom edges of the cardbase. Then use the middle each to even out the spacing.


3- Add the Mint Label with dimensionals anywhere you like.


4- Cut the Blue Cardbase Scrap to a 1 ½” x 1 ½” and stamp your greeting in Early Espresso ink. Trim down to fit around greeting. Add over the Mint Text on the Label with dimensionals & adhesive.

5- Angle the ends of the 3/8” Lost Lagoon Strip and tuck under the greeting.

6- Add any embellishments you want. I used the Neutral Matte Dots in White.

All Done!


Card #2

Crumb Cake Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Basic White Cardstock - scraps

Basic Beige Cardbase Half – Kit

Bubble Bath Ticket Label – Kit


1- Cut the Basic Beige Cardbase to 3” x 4”. Then separate into three strips. Two 1 ¼” x 3” and One 1 ½” x 3”.

2- Stamp your greeting in Early Espresso Ink on the right side of the Bubble Bath Ticket Label. Add to the bottom of the 1 ½” strip. Add this to the center of the cardbase with dimensionals.


3- Add the 1 ¼” pieces on top and one on bottom with dimensionals.


4- Stamp three Chives in Old Olive on Basic White Scraps and cut out with the coordinating Spring Is In The Air Dies.

5- Add one Chives to each section on the cardbase.


6- Stamp 7 Flowers in Petunia Pop or Fresh Freesia Ink. Cut out with coordinating Dies and add with dimensionals to the Chives.

All Done!





I have also created a video walking you through each step.
