Thankful Garden – You Make a Difference

Hi again!  Popping in with another card…

So, we have a brand-new catalog and a brand-new set of colors.  That said, there are a few related challenges, so let’s play!

Stampin’ Up Only (#376) is asking us to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) a card found on page 41 of the Catalog and I picked the one on the right.

Facebook’s Color INKSpiration (#187) is featuring the new In-Colors (select a minimum of three) and the Facebook’s Global Design Project (#497) is featuring, Darling Duckling, Strawberry Slush and Secret Sea. That makes three!

I am sharing this card with As You See It (#348) opting for the Stripes and making sure they were a part of my design.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Darling Duckling cardstock.
• Left Side Panel: (2½” x 5½”) Secret Sea Leaf patterned paper from the 2025/2027 In-Color Collection Designer Series Paper pack.
• Accent Strip: (¼” x 5½”) Strawberry Slush cardstock scrap.
• Right Side Panel: (1¼” x 5½”) Secret Sea Striped patterned piece of paper, the reverse side of the Leaf pattern.
• Sentiment Banner: (4” x 1¼”) Darling Duckling Splatter patterned piece of paper, from the same Paper pack.
  • The Banner image from the Mixed Labels stamp set, an On-Line Exclusive product, was stamped with Secret Sea ink.
  • The sentiment, you make a difference, from the Thankful Garden stamp set, also an On-Line Exclusive product, was also stamped with Secret Sea ink onto the Banner.  Photopolymer stamps make this easier as the sentiment stamp can be positioned to fit.
  • The Banner was then die-cut with the coordinating die from the Mixed Labels Dies set.
• Decoration – Flowers: Strawberry Slush Floral patterned piece of paper from the same Paper pack.  The Flowers are on the reverse side of the Splatter pattern.  Three Flowers were fussy-cut with Paper Snips.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch design.  The Flowers and the Banner were popped up with Dimensionals.  

An opportunity to showcase all four patterns of the 2025/2026 All Colors Designer Series Paper Collections and to have a play with the new In-Colors.

A bright and happy card.  Letting a friend know they are special…or as a quick thank you card.
