Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- 2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- scrap of Berry Burst Cardstock at least 1-3/4" wide
- scrap of Garden Green Cardstock at least 2" wide
Mount the flower image from the Amazing You Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Memento Pad. Stamp once onto Grid Paper. Stamp again, without re-inking, onto the Whisper White square so the flower is centered. Set aside to let it dry. Clean the stamp with the Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub, but leave it on the block to use again later.
Pick out one of the Sahara Sand cards from the Mixed Medallion Card Kit. Fold on all score lines. Make sure the Berry Burst inside flap will fold down when opened.
Mount the "amazing" sentiment from the Amazing You Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp in the lower right corner of the right front flap of the Mixed Medallions card.
Unlock the 1-1/2" Circle Punch. Slide the scrap of Berry Burst Cardstock into the punch. Punch.
Fold the Sahara Sand flaps of the card closed. Put a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the knob sticking out of the left side flap. Remove the protective backing and adhere the punched out circle to the center of the medallion formed when the flaps are closed.
Place the scrap of Garden Green Cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image when you stamp with the leaf stamp from the Painted Harvest Photopolymer Stamp Set.
Mount the more detailed 3-leaf stem image from the Painted Harvest Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the scrap of Garden Green Cardstock so the stem is pointing down.
Unlock the Leaf Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped leaf stem image into the punch. Carefully line up the image so it is centered in the punching area. Punch.
Place the leaf stem punch out on the card front so the stem is in the center of the Berry Burst circle and the leaves are sticking out to the upper left. Use a Stampin' Dimensional to hold the stem in place.
Place the stamped flower image on the Grid Paper to protect your work surface and start coloring with the Stampin' Blends Markers.
Scribble all over the flower with the Light Calypso Coral Marker. Add highlights with the Dark Calypso Coral Marker. Use the Light Calypso Coral Marker again to blend everything together. Add more color as desired, blending again with the Light Calypso Coral Marker.
Use Paper Snips to cut out the flower by hand.
Tip: I like to go around the edges of the cut out image with one of the brush tips of one of the Stampin' Blends Markers I used to make sure that all white edges are colored.
Put a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals on the outside edges of the back of the cut out flower. Remove the protective backings from those Dimensionals and from the one on the Berry Burst circle on the card front. Adhere the flower cut out to the center of the circle.
Poke out a Berry Burst scalloped circle from the sheet of die cuts included in the Mixed Medallion Card Kit.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the scallop circle punch out to the center of the Amazing You flower.
Poke out a Calypso Coral flower from the sheet of die cuts included in the Mixed Medallion Card Kit.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the flower punch out to the lower right corner of the right card front flap so it overlaps the loop of the "g" in the word "amazing."
Carefully peel up two small Berry Burst circles from the sheet of Glitter Enamel Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flowers.
Place the envelope front side up on Grid Paper to protect your work surface.
Ink up the flower image from the Amazing You Set on Block D using the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower left corner of the envelope so it goes off the edges a bit.
