Greetings!
The Quiet Meadow stamp set is a lovely combination of simple floral images paired with touching sentiments and the Meadow Dies part of this bundle have a beautiful variety of plant silhouettes. This bundle is a bit unique in that the dies are more the focal point and the stamp set gives you images to create a background for the dies. I'm happy that it is continuing forward for another year as I've just recently purchased this bundle and this is my first card I've made with it.
Creating cards with lots of texture and layers is my favorite style and this set certainly supports that style. For additional texture I brought in the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder to peak out from beneath the stamped panel, and to give it a more timeworn look all the edges are torn. This card uses only two ink colors but it feels like more because of the overlaying of stamped images and also some stamps being stamped off twice so it's a very faint image. These are all great ways to give a lot of depth with minimal supplies.
Isn't it lovely! I chose to die cut the flower image in two colors and layer it so it creates a shadow effect as well as giving it more impact since it's the same color as much of the card. The two long stemmed accents show up nicely in the deep deep green Evening Evergreen cardstock. I love little tags, and the sweet little tag with "Love" stamped on it is also part of this set of dies. Stampin' Up! really does think of all the great extras which help put the finishing touch on a project!

Here's How It's Made:
Ink broken text stamp with Gray Granite, stamp off twice, then stamp onto Basic White cardstock multiple times in a random pattern to create the background. Ink flower stamp with Blushing Bride and stamp flowers randomly and do the same thing with the two small flowers. Ink the splatter stamp with Blushing Bride and stamp off twice before stamping onto Basic White, stamping onto white space areas to fill in. Repeat as needed. Carefully tear off approximately 1/4" of cardstock on all four sides.
Emboss Blushing Bride panel with Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, then tear off cardstock edges.
Tear off edges of three sides of Gray Granite cardstock and adhere to back of embossed layer so just a little bit peaks out of the right side. Adhere to Blushing Bride card front, then adhere stamped & torn Basic White panel to embossed layer.
Die cut long leafy stalk in Evening Evergreen cardstock twice. Die cut flower die once in Blushing Bride and once in Gray Granite. Adhere Blushing Bride die cut flower to Gray Granite die cut flower, offsetting 1/16-1/32" with stems almost fully lined up and glue with Multipurpose Liquid glue. Adhere to Evening Evergreen leafy stalks with mini glue dots. Tie Gray Granite Baker's Twine around stems of plants and tie in a loose knot. Adhere to card front with mini stampin' dimensionals.
Ink "Love" with Blushing Bride and stamp onto Blushing Bride cardstock scrap. Die cut with little tag die. Thread Gray Granite Baker's Twine through hole and tie a knot. Adhere to card front near stems with a mini stampin' dimensional.
Adhere a Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gem near tag.
Here's what the inside looks like:
Ink flower cluster stamp with Blushing Bride, stamp off twice then stamp onto inside left edge of card.
Ink sentiment with Gray Granite and stamp onto inside of card.
This sentiment nicely covers a variety of occasions where a sympathy card is needed, and since they are usually needed with short notice, making a few to have on hand makes it easy to write a quick note and pop it in the mail.
