Here's How It's Made:

Die cut Basic White cardstock with largest dashes & dots outline circle die.  Ink grassy hill stamp with Granny Apple Green, stamp just below center of circle.  Ink sentiment with Melon Mambo, stamp below grassy hill image.  Ink 3-stem stamp with Early Espresso, leaving bottom 1/4" free of ink, stamp on left half of grassy hill.  Ink 3-toadstool cap stamp with Fresh Freesia, stamp onto top of stems.


Ink irregularly shaped toadstool cap with Fresh Freesia, stamp onto Basic White cardstock.  Align in punch and punch. (This stamp is designed to be larger than the punch, so there is no white outline around the image).  Punch a stem from Early Espresso cardstock.


Adhere DSP print strips to Granny Apple Green cardstock strips.  Adhere larger of the two to the bottom half of the Soft Sea Foam card front, below score line.  Adhere bottom part of circle to card front, making sure adhesive doesn't extend over score line.  Adhere bottom of punched stem to right side of grassy hill stamp with a mini glue dot at the bottom, leaving the rest of the stem free.  Place a Stampin' Dimensional at bottom left of toadstool cap, and a half one next to it, slide toadstool cap under top of stem, adhere at top part of circle.


Adhere remaining DSP/ Granny Apple Green strip to inside bottom of card with Stampin' Dimensionals.  You need the dimension for lift for the top to rest against when open.


Embellish with Purple adhesive-backed Sequins.  


If you wish, stamp the smallest toadstool cap with Melon Mambo, fussy cut out, punch another stem from Early Espresso, use just top half for stem, and adhere to bottom right of inside strip for a little accent.

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Textured Floral Bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
  • Lemon Lime Twist cardstock 
    • card base 4-1/4 x 11 scored & folded at 5-1/2    OR    5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
    • 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 panel
  • Basic White cardstock

  • VersaMark Ink Pad
  • White Embossing Powder
  • Green Regal Foiled adhesive-backed Dots

  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Ink large flower stamp with VersaMark, stamp onto Lemon Lime Twist cardstock panel, sprinkle with embossing powder, shake off excess, heat set with heat tool.  Re-ink and repeat twice more, spacing out on panel.  Ink medium flower stamp with VersaMark, stamp between large flowers, emboss, repeat twice. 


Ink and stamp leaves and stamens onto Basic White cardstock, stamping three of each, leaving space to die cut each one.  Large leaf is Shy Shamrock, small leaf is Lemon Lime Twist, stamens are Shaded Spruce.


Position and adhere leaves onto embossed flowers.  Some overlap will occur, and leaves will extend beyond edge of cardstock panel.  


Trim off all extended pieces.  Adhere to Lemon Lime Twist folded card front.  

Ink sentiment with Shaded Spruce, stamp onto Basic White cardstock strip, leaving space at left edge.  Using Paper Snips, cut 1/4" slit in center of left end of cardstock, then angle cut from top and bottom corners to ends of slit to create banner edge.  Do same banner edge on Shaded Spruce cardstock strip.  Adhere Shaded Spruce strip at right edge with Stampin' Dimensionals, positioning to show most flower detail.  Adhere sentiment strip onto Shaded Spruce strip, angling down slightly.
