The three pieces needed to build the deer’s head were die cut from scrap Very Vanilla, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso card. We adhered die cut pieces together and added a die cut Garden Green wreath and a Real Red bow. The whole head was then glued to the raised circle.

The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink in the lower right corner of the Pool Party panel. We then used a T ruler to draw a pencil line about 1½”up from the bottom of the panel.

The sweet Christmas tree was stamped across the Pool Party panel using Pool Party ink. It worked best if the base of the tree was below the pencil line and the canopy of the tree above the line.

Next, using a different Sponge Daubers we added Granny Apple Green to all the leaves and Lemon Lolly to the large flower centres and all the smaller flowers. At this point the embossed panel looks like a hot mess!

We stamped the snowflakes down the left side of the Basic White panel, starting with the largest. We wrapped the ribbon around the panel before sticking it to the Tahitian Tide Layer. The whole piece was then added to the Orchid Oasis card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto the Basic White circle and the scalloped circle added behind. A bow and a scattering Iridescent Rhinestones completed the card.

We glued the piece of 2022 – 2024 dsp to the Thick Basic White card front and added the thin strip of Garden Green card.

The spray of leaves was die cut using the Wisteria Dies and adhered to the scalloped rectangle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Both flower pieces were then die cut from the Orchid Oasis card. They were adhered together with pieces of Dimensionals and added to the scalloped rectangle.

The rectangle was then added, with liquid glue to the card front.

The sentiment from the Paradise Palms was stamped in Versamark ink, covered with White Embossing Powder and Heat set. It was die cut using the Beautiful Shapes Dies and added with a Dimensional to the card front.

A trio of Basic Rhinestones, coloured with the Orchid Oasis Blends Pen completed the card.

We started by stamping the leafy bough randomly over the Garden Green card front with Garden Green ink.

We stamped the same bough, in the same ink across the top of the small panel of Basic White card and added the Wisteria Blooms in Orchid Oasis ink.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies we die cut the scalloped edge and adhered it to the stamped panel. We added a strip of Orchid Oasis behind the scalloped edge so that it would show up against the Garden Green card front.

We wrapped a piece of Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon around the panel to disguise the join and secured it with Sellotape n the back.

The sentiment was added in Orchid Oasis ink and the panel was mounted on the card front on Dimensionals. A trio of coloured Basic Rhinestones completed the card.

We stamped the leafy stems across the smallest panel of Basic White card in Garden Green ink.

The flower spikes were added in Orchid Oasis and the detail stamped in Starry Sky ink. The panel was then adhered to the Garden Green layer and then to medium sized panel of Basic White.

A piece of Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape.

Glue the smaller Basic White panel to the Calypso Coral layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Insert the bottom into the Vintage Bottle Punch as far as it will go and punch through both layers.

Colour the larger flowers using the Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Marker, colour the remaining flowers with a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Marker and the leaves with a Mint Macaron Marker. I huffed on the image to re-moisten the ink and stamped onto the punched panel, above the bottle aperture.

We turned the panel face down and inserted the bottle into the negative space. We added a large pinch of the Effervescent bubble to the bottle. We punched another bottle using the same punch from scrap Mint Macaron card and stamped randomly over the bottle with Mint Macaron ink. The stamped bottle was inserted into the panel to close the back.

The whole piece was glued to the Petal Pink card front and Basic Rhinestones added to the largest flower centres.

The sentiment, from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set was stamped in Calypso Coral ink onto the die cut label – from the Hydrangea Dies. It was added to the bottle neck with a White Baker’s Twine Bow.

Using Sweet Sorbet ink, we stamped the smaller bottle across the bottom panel of the card front.

We stamped the smaller bottle onto the Deckled Rectangle in Petal Pink ink. It was stamped again in Calypso Coral ink onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed out with Scissors. The larger bottle was stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink onto scrap Basic White card and punched out using the Vintage Bottle Punch.

The birthday sentiment, from the Go To Greetings stamp set was stamped in Mint Macaron ink at the top of the panel and this was then added to the Mint Macaron panel and then to the bottom panel of the of the card front.

Using a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Marker I coloured the larger flowers. The smaller flowers were then inked with a Sweet Sorbet Marker and the leaves with a Mint Macaron Marker. I huffed on the image and stamped onto the smaller Basic White panel.

We repeated this step to add flowers to the other side of the panel. The stamped layer was then added to the Petal Pink panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A length of 2022- 2024 In Color Twine was wrapped around the panel before it was adhered to the Calypso Coral card base.

The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set was stamped in Mint Macaron ink onto the strip of Basic White card, added it to the piece of Mint Macaron card and added it onto the card front on Dimensionals.

A bow and a trio of Basic Rhinestones completed the card.
