Blooming With Kindness

Today I have a card that uses one of my newest favorite Stampin' Up colors.  Crisp Cantaloupe!!!  I have always loved the color peach but now I see it was really Crisp Cantaloupe that I just did not realize the name!

I love the 5 sayings that come in this set.  The flower is beautiful in many different colors. 
The other great thing about this card is the layering.  The Crisp Cantaloupe goes across the front to make it easier for everyone to layer.  The Midnight Muse cardstock is just 2 inches wide but I made the length to be 5 1/2 inches long.  Using the new Big Shot Magnetic Platform made cutting the Adorning Accents Edgelits easy peasy.  We cut the Midnight Muse and the Whisper White piece.  Then attached the Midnight Muse piece to the backside of the Whisper White piece.  By having the Midnight Muse slightly longer made it easier to line up.  Then trim off the ends.  Then each person decided how much they wanted cut off of the left side of the Whisper White by laying it down on the card front to decide how much of the Crisp Cantaloupe they wanted to show.  Added the dahlia to the card.  Many of the stampers stamped the flower on their envelope.  

Helpful hint - use very flat cutting pads with framelits and edgelits on the magnetic platform

Have a super fantastic day.  Janice
