STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base of Basic White Thick card stock.
Adhere a 5 1/4 x 3 1/4 piece of Basic White card stock to a 5 1/4 x 3 3/4 piece of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper together with Stampin’ Seal and to the card base as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the following images onto a piece of Basic White card stock:
- Pots – Calypso Coral Classic Ink (stamped off on scrap paper first)
- Cactus Plants – Soft Succulent Classic Ink (left and right)
- Cactus Plants – Evening Evergreen Classic Ink (center)
- Flowers – Polished Pink Classic Ink
Crop the coordinating images with the Cactus Builder Punch and snip the rest closely with Paper Snips.
Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Evening Evergreen card stock.
Cover with white Basics Embossing Powder. Set with a Heat Tool.
Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (standard or mini) and the Tasteful Labels Die.
Trim to size with a Paper Trimmer.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Seal.
PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 piece of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.

I am LOVING your card today Mary. STRAIGHT from our neck of the woods (so to say).
Pretty card, Mary. I like the simplicity of this card with the little embossed “Hello” sentiment. Just a sweet note for a friend. Enjoy your day!
