This lovely vintage-style card was made with a focus on the Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. The Quiet Meadow stamp set sometimes gets overlooked because the coordinating Meadow Dies are so beautiful and fun to use on card projects, but the stamp set is equally as fun. The artistic images are perfect for creating soft, serene cards.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare Your Cardstock: cut/trim/score all paper as described above
Stamp Layer #1 Crumb Cake with the stamp that looks like dots (or splatter) around the border of the cardstock, in VersaMark ink (this creates a tone-on-tone stamped look)
Stamp the image with the typed-looking text in Crumb Cake ink on Layer #2 Very Vanilla
Run the Very Vanilla layer (#2) through the die cutting machine with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder
Stamp the stem of flowers, in Crumb Cake Ink, on Crumb Cake cardstock
Lightly blend Crumb Cake ink, with a blending brush, over the stem of flowers
Fussy Cut the stem of flowers
Tear Layer #3 Crumb Cake (measuring 4" x 3 3/4") across the top and bottom (horizontal side)
Adhere the torn Crumb Cake cardstock to the Very Vanilla embossed layer
Adhere the fussy cut flower to the Very Vanilla embossed layer
Stamp the sentiment on the right side of the torn Crumb Cake layer
Adhere the embossed layer to Layer #1 Crumb Cake (from step 2)
Adhere Layer #1 Crumb Cake to the card base with a Foam Adhesive Sheet (trimmed down to fit the cardstock layer)
On the inside layer of cardstock (Layer #4 - Inside: Very Vanilla measuring 5 1/4" x 4"), ink the stem of flowers stamp in Crumb Cake ink and stamp off one time on a piece of scrap paper (or grid paper), then stamp the second generation on the bottom right of the cardstock.
