Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare Your Cardstock: cut/trim/score all paper as described above
Emboss Layer #1 [White (5 1/4" x 4")] with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder with the die cutting machine
Adhere the embossed layer to the cardbase with the adhesive of your choice
On Layer #2 [White (4 7/8" x 3 5/8")] stamp the tall stem of flowers twice, in Memento Tuxedo Black ink -- stamp the first stem close to the left edge of the cardstock, re-ink your stamp and stamp the second stem of flowers on an angle (facing the right) slightly below the left stem of flowers (the bottom of the stems won't be on the cardstock)
Color the flowers on the left with both light and dark Polished Pink Stampin' Blends. Apply the dark color to the bottom of the flowers then blend with the light color to push up the dark color and create a seamless blend.
Color the flowers on the right with both light and dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends. Apply the dark color to the bottom of the flowers then blend with the light color to push up the dark color and create a seamless blend.
Color the leaves with both light and dark Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends. Apply the dark color to the bottom of the leaves then blend with the light color to push up the dark color and create a seamless blend.
Adhere the stamped & colored layer to the top of the embossed layer on the cardbase with Stampin' Dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black
Fussy cut the sentiment
Adhere the sentiment with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (or cut Stampin' Dimensionals into smaller sizes)
Tie the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (Retiring Soon - On Sale Now!) in a bow
Adhere the bow to the card with a Mini Glue Dot (Stampin' Seal+ or Multipurpose Liquid Glue will work as well)
Tie the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon in a bow
Adhere the bow on top of the first bow with a Mini Glue Dot (Stampin' Seal+ or Multipurpose Liquid Glue will work as well)
Optional: stamp the inside piece of White cardstock with the stem of flowers in Polished Pink ink -- stamp each on an angle, one from the bottom left and the other from the bottom right (NOTE: you can also stamp directly on the inside of the card)
Adhere the layer to the inside of the cardbase with the adhesive of your choice

Meetup Group
Find all my events and classes in one place! Have you ever used Meetup? What is Meetup? Meetup is a service used to organize online groups that host in-person and virtual events for people with similar interests. My vision for this group is to gather crafters together -- online and/or in person (when possible) -- for a fun time creating projects, learning new techniques, and of course, meeting other likeminded crafters. This group is for anyone and everyone, no matter your skill level. This group is open to everyone, globally!
I schedule events for making cards, scrapbooking, gift packaging, and more. I also coordinate my card classes to go via Meetup.

Members are encouraged to share crafty and DIY projects of all types (and of any brand), share tips, and of course meet others with the same crafting passion. I often share my projects, tutorials, etc., and of course, incorporate fun activities as well (prizes included)! I hope you join & participate so I can learn from you too! Everyone is welcome -- demonstrators included!
