Hello, hello!!
The Dragonfly Garden stamp set is the first set I had a sneak peak of from the Jan-June 2021 mini catalog. I immediately fell in love with the tall image of all the flowers. Wildflowers and dragonflies - the words alone create a vision of sunny, warm summery days. And since here in Minnesota today it's a balmy (haha) below zero temp I had to create me a little summer! It's wonderful to grab a stamp that you know will easily be the focal point of the card, add some gorgeous paper, bring in a couple dragonflies and in just a few minutes you've created a beautiful card to send to a friend!
One of the items that you can get FREE this month during SALE-a-bration, which ends February 28th, is the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (DSP). These papers feature floral prints and patterns on black backgrounds. This card helps you to easily earn those papers! The Dragonflies Garden Bundle, a pack of the Neutrals cardstock and the Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad totals 51.75 (before tax & shipping) so you've now earned the Flower & Field DSP for FREE!! How awesome is that!
Isn't it beautiful! The papers provide a gorgeous backdrop!
Give your card a little WOW with heat embossing! A great technique to really give your card a special something. Embossing the greeting in white on black gives it even more WOW!

- Designer Series Papers (DSP) is a fantastic way to help you with your color scheme. Selecting colors in the papers gives you a great palette for your creation.
- Never feel like you have to color in an entire image. Create your impact by coloring in only a few flowers. In this card, by giving some of the leaves a light touch of color, it creates more dimension to the image without taking away from the deep color of the flowers.
- Stampin' Blends are alcohol based markers. They are a wonderfully quick way to give your images a little color and because of the transparent quality you can easily control the amount of color you add. They come in a combo pack with a light and dark shade giving you many coloring variations in each pack.
- Mini glue dots are the prefect adhesive for attaching small items such as the dragonflies.
