TERRIFIC TOADSTOOL HI

Today’s card features the Terrific Toadstools Bundle (stamp and punch) and the Toadstool Gardens 6 x6” Designer Series Paper (this paper is a freebie during Sale-A-Bration).  I saw a picture of a card that was designed by Sherri Bishop and fell in love with it so I decided to give it a whirl and see what I could come up with.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Smoky Slate cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  Next, I added a layer of Pebbled Path cardstock that measured 3 ¾ x 5”.  To that layer I added my Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper (the best part is with the way this is cut you can get two cards out of one 6 x 6” piece of DSP), I cut the piece in half making two pieces that were 3 x 6”.  I took one of those pieces and cut it at 2”, 1 ½” and 1” (that way the pattern flows nicely across the front of the card) and added them spacing equally on the top and sides of each piece to my Pebbled Path cardstock layer.  I then cut another piece of the Designer Series Paper (just picked one I thought coordinated well with the first one I used and cut it to 1 x 4 ¾” and added it to the bottom of the layer again making sure to keep the spacing even on the sides and bottom.

Now it was time to add some embellishments.  I stamped a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 1 x 4 ¾” with the sentiment “poppin’ up to say hi” toward the left side in Melon Mambo Ink.  I added that to a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock that measured 1 ¼ x 5” and then added that whole piece to the front of my card.  I then stamped two of the mushrooms, one in Cherry Cobbler Ink and one in Melon Mambo Ink and two stems in Gray Granite Ink.  The two mushrooms and the smaller stem can be punched out using the coordinating punch and the larger stem is easy to fussy cut.  I added those to the front of my card Popping the larger of the two up with some Mini Dimensionals (I added one mini dimensional under the top of the smaller mushroom as well).  For a final addition I added three of the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (another Sale-A-Bration freebie) to finish off my card.  For the inside I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped it with some of the smaller mushrooms from the stamp set (I used those same stamps to decorate the envelope). 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
