Dragonflies Punch coordinates with Dragonfly Garden
Sneak Peek at upcoming catalog items available in January 2021

I'm attending the Stampin' Up! virtual convention called OnStage@Home, where we're getting a sneak peek of items we'll be able to offer customers in January 20201. These wonderful stamping products include the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set and the coordinating Dragonflies Punch. Today during our virtual event, we create three cards using these new products. Take a look at my versions of these cards, below.

Three Dragonfly handmade cards using Stampin' Up! Garden Wishes Bundle

These are the fun cards we created with Dragonfly Garden, part of a suite of products called Luck be a ladybug, which includes two bundles, laser-cut paper, Memories & More Card Pack, matching Memories & More Cards & Envelopes, Ladybug Trinkets, Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim, and Dandy Garden 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper. One bundle includes a stamp set and dies; called the Garden Wishes Bundle. The second bundle is what I used on these cards-- the Dragonfly Garden Bundle, a stamp set and punch bundle. Bundles save you 10% over purchasing the items separately.

Flower and dragonflies greeting card using Garden Wishes Bundle

The card above uses Blackberry Bliss basecard and a Smoky Slate image layer. I stamped the flower image from Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set in Mossy Medow onto the Smoky Slate layer. Then I layered two Blackberry Bliss prints from the Dandy Garden 6" X 6" Designer Series Papers. I created a bow using Mossy meadow 3/16" Braided Linen Trim, and stamped one of the sentiments from Dragonfly Garden in Mossy Meadow in the lower corner. Then used the Dragonflies punch to punch out several Whisper White butterflies, added mini Dimensionals to the back and scattered them onto the Designer Series Paper.

Dragonflies and ladybugs greeting card using Stampin' Up! Garden Wishes Bundle

This card uses a Mossy Meadow basecard stamped with the little dragonfly images from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink from the lower bottom corner to the top right corner. Then I added a small piece of Bumblebee cardstock, three prints from the Dandy Garden 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper pack, and the image layer is Whisper White cardstock. I stamped a dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set in Bumblebee ink, and then punch out one of the Dragonflies from the Dandy Garden 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper to add to the image layer. The sentiments, also from Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set, are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.

Tiny fireflies and large fireflies greeting card using Garden Wishes Bundle

This third card uses Misty Moonlight basecard. Then on the Whisper White layer, the small cluster of tiny Fireflies was stamped along the entire left side of the card using Bumblebee ink. Then I used two prints from the Dandy Garden 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper pack to cut two strips. Then a small piece of Bumblebee cardstock was layered on to of the two coordinating strips and the wing stamp was stamped in Bumblebee ink to create a shadow of the dragonfly layered above it. I used the Fireflies Punch to pun a dragonfly out on one of the prints in the Dandy Garden 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper. I added a couple of Dimensionals to pop it up before adding it to the card front. I cut a sentiment label using a die from the Little Treat Box Dies, and stamped a sentiment in Misty Moonlight before adding it to the card front.

Below, is the stampin I added to the inside of the card.
