Hi, Stampers!
The last Alphabet Challenge starts today and the theme is “T is for Thanks.” Since we all need to have thank you cards, especially during the holidays, I know you will want to play along with us. For my card today, I am using a brand new Sale-A-Bration Beautifully Happy stamp set, which means that it’s free with a $100 order. What a great stamp set!
Once you finish here, I hope you visit our Alphabet Design Team gallery for some great inspiration and play along!
My Secrets!
- Firstly, this A2 card came together easily and quickly, using thick white cardstock for the card base, cut at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2.”
- After that, I cut Soft Sea Foam cardstock to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ and ran it through the Tasteful Textile embossing folder and adhered it to the cardbase.
And now, the fun part!
- Once that was done, I stamped the floral stamp twice in Mossy Meadow ink. Then, I stamped the first one with the stamps that filled the flowers (Blushing Bride ink) and leaves (Mossy Meadow ink, second-generation stamping) and inked just the flowers on the second one. After that, I fussy cut the center flowers and popped them up with dimensionals.
- After that, I cropped it out with a stitched rectangle die, then layered it onto Mossy Meadow cardstock.
- Then, to even out the card front, I chose the Blushing Bride designer paper from Dainty Flowers and matted it with Mossy Meadow, as well.
- Finally, I added a couple of the brass butterflies and a single pearl to the center of the flower.
I’m sharing my card with these challenges:

Beautiful! Love the soft colours. Glad you survived the snow storms – Happy New Year!
Beautiful pastel shades and a fabulous image and paper.Noah looks as though is is taking great card in choosing a coloured pencil
Debbie, this is beautiful. So glad Noah enjoyed his trip to the library.
Debbie, I love this stunning card using this set with the two-step stamping. Coloring is not my favorite thing to do. So glad you and Noah got out after the storm for a fun outing. Enjoy your day.
This is another stunning card, Debbie. Beautiful design, colors, details!
What a lovely card using a SAB set!
Love the library pic and the card! That SAB set is my new fave for TY cards! Such pretty colors here… so there’s my next combo to try!
Beautiful card. Love the soft colors and design. TFS
Where is the Dainty Flowers DSP from?
Dainty Flowers is a brand new designer paper in the new catalog coming out on Jan. 5th
Debbie, I am in awe of your wonderful talent and beautiful cards.
I really like how you made this card. Thank you for a wonderful easy to read tutorial.
I read on page 13 of the Sale a-bration that The Beautifully Happy stamp is free with a $100 purchase.
Oops! You’re right, Lora! I forgot that this one was at the higher price point. I will correct that in my post. Thanks!
You are welcome. I really like this card.
Beautiful floral image, and lovely texture. Thanks for sharing at NBUS
Absolutely beautiful card! I love the soft colors.
I love this card. I don’t do so well with stamps that fill in the color. I never seem to line it up well, so I stamped the flowers and embossed in gold, then colored everything with my water painters. I also used a larger “Thank You” and used a couple glue dots to pop it up on the pink side and glued the other side to the white. Thank you so much for sharing this idea. You make such beautiful cards.
I absolutely love this card.
I am working on making this card today. I like the colors very much. I saw the colors you used but Looking at the photo on my computer the leaves look so much lighter than Mossy Meadow. Did you use Mossy meadow on your first stamping?
Thanks, I have all my pieces cut and ready.
Your card is absolutely beautiful! I love the pastel colors and the way you popped up the flowers.
What is the blushing bride dsp cut at?
Love the layout and my favorite colors.
Thanks for your question, Kay! The Mossy Meadow cardstock is 5″ x 2-1/4″ and the Blushing Bride DSP is 4-7/8″ x 2-1/8.”
Love your card!
Debbie. I love your card. What did you stamp your first stamp with. Did you use memento
Thanks for your comment and question, Joan. I used Mossy Meadow for the floral image, but Memento would also be good to use. Then, to fill in the leaves, I stamped off with the same ink color to give it a lighter look.
Love the beautiful card. It happened to come up on my Pinterest suggestions when I was taking a moment to browse. Will have to come back to your blog to explore more of your beautiful ideas.
Absolutely gorgeous.
This card is really beautiful. I like the color combination.
