2- Ink up the solid side of the large flower in Bumblebee ink, then add Calypso Coral with a sponge dauber to the center area. Stamp this in the top left corner. Then repeat with the small flower in the bottom right corner. Add more water if you want more bleeding effect.


3- Add water to wet the areas on the paper where you will be stamping the leaves. Ink up the solid side of the leaf image in Old Olive and stamp two on each side of each flower. Add more water if you want more bleeding effect.


4- With the Bermuda Bay ink and a Water Painter – regular brush tip, add the ink to the open white spaces of the paper. Don’t forget about areas in between the flowers & leaves and in corners. Make sure there are light and dark areas. Let dry. If you need to speed up the drying process you can use a heat tool.


5- Stamp the greeting on the scrap White Cardstock in StazOn ink. Cut out with a label from the Tasteful Labels with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.


6- Leaving the paper in the die, turn over and use either small or large stylus from the Take Your Pick Tool run it around the inside edge of the die.


7- After the watercolor paper is dry, stamp the front side of the images over the coordinating areas with StazOn ink. Add to the cardbase with strong adhesive. 


8- Add the greeting with dimensionals in the center of the card. Add some Pearls around the greeting.

All Done!

Card #1


1- Stamp the heart image in Poppy Parade ink and fussy cut out, repeat to get a second heart. Stamp the greeting on the white side of the Petal Pink label in Black ink.


2- On the White cardstock strip, score in half at 4 ¼” and then at 2 1/8”. Fold the smaller area so the edge meets the middle score line, then open and fold the middle score line so the cardstock is in half.


3- Adhere the Petal Pink cardstock to the Black cardstock. Then on the back of the Black cardstock adhere just the bottom half of the white cardstock (under the 2 1/8” score line) centering it when folded in half to the black cardstock.


4- Add adhesive to the back of the White cardstock and center everything over the Poppy Parade Cardbase.


5- Add one heart on the right side of the card front. With the 12” of ribbon, cut down each side to create two slim pieces of ribbon, don’t cut the center area so everything stays together. Add the ribbon to the back of the greeting in a faux bow. Add the greeting to the left and over the heart with dimensionals.


6- Either stamp, color & cut out a snail or use a die cut from the add-on kit. Add to the card with a dimensional over the heart to the right of the greeting. Color three enamel shapes with the dark Poppy Parade blend marker and place on your card.


7- Add the second heart directly behind the first one with dimensionals. This will give the front of the card something to hold it in the easel shape. If you want stamp the "XOXO" in the bottom right corner in black ink.

All Done!


Card #2


1- Stamp the snail image on scrap White cardstock and punch out with the postage punch. Color with the Petal Pink and Pool Party Blend Markers. Stamp the greeting on the Petal Pink side of the label.


2- Score the Pool Party cardstock strip at 3 ¾” & 1 7/8”. Fold the smaller side to the 3 ¾” score line, then open and fold on the 3 ¾” score line, there should be 1” not covered at the bottom.


3- Add the Poppy Parade cardstock with the 3 ¼” side at the top over the pool part strip so the bottom edge lines up with the edge of the flap. Adhere only to the bottom half of the flap. Cut a banner shape from the 1” section at the bottom. Adhere everything to the center of the Petal Pink Cardbase.


4- Add the snail to the bottom right corner with dimensionals. Fold the 5” of ribbon in half and adhere to the back on the right side of the greeting and adhere this to the left of the snail with dimensionals.


5- Punch out the corner of the heart piece with the Small Bloom Punch and add it above the greeting with a dimensional. Place three enamel hearts on your card.


6- Open the easel and place the 2 ½” square inside with dimensionals about ¾” from the top to give the easel something to hold it open.

All Done!
