Garden Gathering Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are showcasing some of the product from the upcoming May – August 2026 catalogue. I have chosen to make a card using the pretty Garden Gatherings stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the garden gathering card using the following supplies:

Granny Apple Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Pretty Peacock – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Season of Elegance dsp

Using one of the floral images I randomly stamped around all four sides of the Granny Apple Green card base with Granny Apple Green ink.

I die cut a vase using the Garden Gathering dies from a scrap piece of Season of Elegance designer series paper. I placed it in position on the smaller panel of Basic White card and lightly drew around it with a pencil. This will help me to stamp the flowers so that they will appear to be inside the vase.

I stamped two stems with Granny Apple Green ink using the pencil outline of the vase as a guide. The tiny flower clusters were then added with Poppy Parade ink.

The pencil lines were then erased and the die cut vase glued into position.  A ‘ground’ image, from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set was then stamped under the vase with Gray Granite ink.

The sentiment was stamped in Granny Apple Green ink, one word at a time using a simple masking technique. The stamped panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock layer which was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I used a Poppy Parade Blends Pen to colour in 3 of the Moody Palette Glossy Dots and added them to complete the card.
