The Garden Meadow Suite in the Online Exclusives section of shopwithcandy.com is chock-full of creative goodies with a host of possibilities. This is one of 3 cards I created for my Stamping Fun & Games in June, and I used 3 elements of the suite:
- Garden Meadow Bundle
- Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper
I branched out to the annual catalog for a different ribbon and embellishment than what is in the suite. Each element of the suite works really well with loads of other Stampin’ Up products.
The arch die is one of the most versatile dies in the Garden Meadows die set–it can be used in so many ways! Here I cut out an arch from one of the “B” sides of Meandering Meadows DSP. Most all of the “B” sides have a watercolor wash, so they make great backgrounds. Here I made the background into an arched frame so it looks like you are in front of a window. I popped that arched frame up on Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it depth. By adding 2 small stamped and die cut flower images, I was able to bring in a true hand-stamped look to the foreground of my scene.
My Stamping Fun & Games online attendees received a packet by mail to make the 3 cards–all prepped for them to stamp and assemble–along with a yard of the scrummy Silver & White Sheer Ribbon and strips of the Adhesive-Backed Sequin Trio. It’s a nice little creative packet with leftovers to use after the event. Since it’s a fun and games event, they receive Bingo cards as well:)
This is what we did in July, and it was a lot of fun! This is a monthly, recurring event on the 2nd Wednesday @7PM CT in a private Facebook group. Click here to see details of the wheelbarrow card.
Please join us next month for the August event! Click here to see the details including the projects–we are using Simply Zinnias for the stamping. You can easily sub out with other flower stamps and greetings. Or add it on to your Fun & Games ticket.
