Happy Happenings in a Garden of Bloom

I just love this Garden in Bloom set.  Today I've used them without the "inside" stamp and I think it's just simply beautiful!  I made two cards with different measurements.


First Card Recipe:

Crushed Curry Base:  8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Whisper White:  5 1/4" x 4"
Crushed Curry:  4 1/2" x 3 1/4"
Whisper White:  4 1/4" x 3"

Inside:
Whisper White:  5 1/4" x 4"
Cherry Cobbler Strip:  5 1/4" x 1"
Whisper White Strip:  5 1/4" x 3/4"

Second Card Recipe :

Crushed Curry Base:  8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Whisper White:  5 1/4" x 4"
Crushed Curry:  4" x 3"
Whisper White:  3 3/4" x 2 3/4"

Inside:
Whisper White 5 1/4" x 4"
Cherry Cobbler Strip:  4" x 1"
Whisper White Strip:  4" x 3/4"

Don't forget a little envelope love too!  I placed a post-it note over the front of the envelope so that I could easily stamp "off" the edge and then remove the post-it for a clean envelope.

I even added a little love to the front of the envelope.

Thank you for looking in today.  May you have a Blessed Sunday!
