I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom Punch from Sale-a-bration 2020 to create my card to share with you today.  Sale-a-bration is ending in just 14 days!!!  So be sure to get your orders in soon to earn those awesome free goodies with every $50 that you purchase!

My card design was loosely inspired by My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #480.

I started by embossing a panel of Whisper White card stock with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and the 3D Embossing Folder Plate.  Then I adhered the embossed panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base.  I embossed a wide strip of Whisper White card stock with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (available April 1) and the 3D Embossing Folder Plate, adhered it to another panel of Whisper White card stock and then to the card front with SNAIL.

I stamped the flower images from the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set (Sale-a-bration item) three times in Lovely Lipstick ink on a panel of Lovely Lipstick card stock and then punched the images out with the coordinating Small Bloom Punch (Sale-a-bration item).  I cut a panel of Call Me Clover card stock twice with two of the Cherry Blossoms Dies and then adhered the leaves together and to the back of the flower punches with Glue Dots. I adhered the upper two flowers with Glue Dots to the card front and the lower flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut it out with one of the Stitched Shapes Dies.  I adhered the die cut with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front and then added three Gllitter Enamel Dots to the flower centers to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment and flower outline images from the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink and the leaves in Call Me Clover ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I inked the solid flower image from the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink, stamped it on scrap paper and then stamped it over the lined image.  I added the flower center in Gorgeous Grape ink to finish the inside of the card.
