Welcome to Simply Stampin’ Sunday – my post of Clean And Simple projects that can be made in minutes using Stampin’ Up! products.  This week’s card features the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set, Tasteful Labels Dies, Well Written Dies, Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper and the Best Year Stamp Set.  And I admit, it took more than a few minutes, but I think it was time well spent.

A layer of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper matted on a panel of the new Brass Foil paper is a sweet background for the sentiment label and hand colored flowers from the Tasteful Touches Stamps & Dies Bundle.

My card design is based on Freshly Made Sketches FMS440

The flowers are colored with  Stampin’ Blends markers.  The centers are then highlighted with Clear Wink of Stella for a little added sparkle and shine.  Use Paper Snips to fussy-cut the flower images.

The sentiment on the card front is cut from a Brass Foil sheet using the Well Written Dies.

The sentiment inside the card is from the Best Year Stamp Set, stamped with Pretty Peacock ink.

Here are the Simple Steps to make this card:

1. Cut a panel of Pretty Peacock card stock to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″ and fold for the card base.
2. Cut a 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ panel of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.
3. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the DSP to a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Brass Foil.
4. Use Liquid Glue to adhere the layer to the card front.
5. Stamp the flower image from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set 3 times on a panel of Thick Whisper White card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
6. Color the petals of the flowers using Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends markers.
7. Color the flower centers with a Dark Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends marker.  Brush some sparkle on the flower centers with Clear Wink of Stella.
8. Use Paper Snips to fussy-cut the flowers.
9. Cut the sentiment label from a panel of Pretty Peacock card stock using a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies.
10. Cut the sentiment from a Brass Foil Sheet using dies from the Well Written Dies Set.
11. Adhere the sentiment to the label using small dabs of Liquid Glue.
12. Use Liquid Glue to adhere a flower in the top left corner of the card front.
13. The Sentiment label is then adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
14. The flower in the bottom right is adhered to the card front with Dimensionals and a Mini Glue Dot where it overlaps the sentiment.
15. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a 3/4″ x 3-7/8″ strip of Forever Greenery DSP to the left side of a 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ panel of Whisper White card stock for the inside panel.
16. Use Pretty Peacock ink to stamp the sentiment from the Best Year Stamp Set on the Whisper White panel
17. Liquid Glue is used to adhere the flower to the inside panel before adhering the panel to the inside of the card.
