Today the Stampin’ Up! Bundle Sale begins! Save 10% on any Bundle with a stamp set and set of dies. One set of dies I would recommend is the Spotlight On Nature Dies. While they go with the Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set, they will go with almost anything. This Spotlight On Nature Dear Friend Card uses both the flowers and greeting in the stamp set plus the circular dies in the background. I used a sample in the Annual Catalog as a starting point for this card but ended up with a little different look. When you put the Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set and the Spotlight On Nature Dies together, you get the Spotlight On Nature Bundle! Normally you would save 10% by buying the two products together in a Bundle and now, during this sale all month, you will save an additional 10%.

This card has a card base of Petunia Pop. The layer on the front of the card uses this dotted pattern of paper in the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. It was one of the couple of papers in the previous catalog that made the cut into the new Annual Catalog. That doesn’t usually happen!

I diecut two circles from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The outer one is Petunia Pop cardstock. The smaller inner one is the plain background of one of the papers in the Bright & Beautiful paper. Funny that this paper was sold before the new In Colors, but Bubble Bath and others go well with this paper.

The flowers are stamped twice from the stamp set, colored with Stampin’ Blends, and then cut out by hand. I made two sets so I could have a fuller bouquet, like the sample in the catalog and even cut off one of the flowers and stems so I could put that flower where I wanted it to make the bouquet fuller. I used Bubble Bath and Petunia Pop Blends to color the flowers. The leaves on the flower stamps were colored lightly with Lemon Lime Twist and maybe Soft Sea Foam.

For more foliage in my bouquet, I stamped and colored the stem of leaves, colored those with other green colors and cut out by hand, then glued down all leaves and flowers. You can play around with these pieces to get what you like first, then glue them down.

The greeting is stamped in Petunia Pop ink and die cut with a banner in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bow is a piece of white Baker’s Twine doubled up and adhered with a Mini Glue Dot. You could also add some gems or jewels if you wanted.
