Instructions:

Construct a standard card base using Basic White Cardstock by cutting an 8.5 x 11 in piece of cardstock in half vertically and folding to make a base that measures 5.5 x 4.25 in. 

Cut a panel of Basic White Cardstock to 2.75 x 4.25 in.

Cut a panel of Gorgeous Grape to 5.5 x 4.25 inch, then trim 1/16 in. from each side. Adhere this to the white card base.

Fill Mini Mister with water and 2 drops of the Gorgeous Grape Stampin Ink Refill.  Hold the panel away from you and mist the panel until you are happy with the results.  

Stamp two of the Wisteria flowers in Gorgeous Grape on Basic White Cardstock and use the Die cut machine to cut them out.

Stamp two of the branches in Garden Green on Basic White Cardstock and use the die cut machine to cut them out.

When dry, adhere the misted panel to the Gorgeous Grape panel on the cardbase. 

Adhere the Garden Green Branches to the top of the card base overlapping just a bit.

Adhere the Gorgeous Grape Wisteria flowers to the bottom of the branches.

Stamp any sentiment you like in Black Memento ink and cut with any outline shape you like and adhere this to the bottom of the misted panel. I used a sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp set.

Stampin'Up! Grassy Grove

 Hello stampers and crafters! Today, I have occasion to craft a thank you card for a good friend.

I really love the Stampin Up! Grassy Grove Stamps and matching dies. I also used the Mountain Air Stamp Set to create the mountains in the background.  There are several nice sentiments in the Grassy Grove set.  I chose to use "Thank You". 

For this card I used Soft Suede, Garden Green and Basic White Cardstock. I used Garden Green, Sahara Sand and Balmy Blue Classic Stampin Pads.

Instructions

Cut 8.5 x 11 in Basic White Cardstock into trimmer horizontally and cut at 5.5 in. Choose one of these pieces to be the base for your card.  Fold this piece of paper to make a 5.5 in. by 4.25 in. card base. Turn the folded piece to horizontal position so that the card opens from the bottom.

Cut a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock to a 4.25 in. x 5.5 in. panel. Trim the long side of the by .25 in. and short side of the pane by 1.16 in. and adhere to the White Cardstock base leaving an even amount of white around the Soft Suede panel.

Stamp the Thank You on Basic White cardstock in Garden Green. I used the banner die from the He's All That Bundle dies, however; you can use any shape die you choose to cut this sentiment or any one you like for this greeting. 

Die Cut a 4.5 in. x 5.5 in. panel of Garden Green Cardstock with the largest landscape die and remove all the negative pieces from the panel. Cut the die cut panel around the edges evenly until you achieve a 5.23 in. x 3.75 in. die cut panel.  Please read further before adhering the die cut piece to anything.

Cut a panel of Basic White Cardstock slightly smaller than the die cut piece so as not to be seen underneath. 5 and 1/8 in horizontal x 3.6 in vertical.

This is where the ink pads come in,

Starting at about 1.3 in. from the top of the horizontal side of the white panel, stamp a layer of Mountains from the Mountain Air set in Sahara Sand. You can stamp the mountains in the center and add to the sides like I did, or you can stamp half the stamp on the left of the panel and half on the right ensuring there is a line of mountains all the way across the panel.

Next, Stamp a layer of the trees and grass just below the mountains all the way across the panel.

Grab your blending brush and dab it into the Garden Green Classic Ink Pad. Tap your blending brush off on a scrap piece of paper just a bit to get the heavy ink off. Starting at the bottom of your panel, slowly work the ink onto the paper in a swirling motion up toward the grass and tree line in order to make a meadow.  

Clean your blending brush, or use another, to dab into your Balmy Blue Classic ink pad. Tap off the excess on a scrap paper. Starting at the top of your mountain panel, slowly begin swirling the ink toward the mountains and all the way across the top of the panel.  Be careful not to make your mountains blue.

Adhere the landscape die cut piece over the mountain panel being careful not to let any of the mountain panel show below the die cut panel.

Die cut several deer from the Grove Dies in Soft Suede Cardstock. Adhere the deer to the top of the panel near the bottom of the die cut panel so that it looks like the dear are standing on the grass.  You can ever place a deer behind one of the trees.

This card can be a masculine card for just about any occasion.
