Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a garden theme!

STORYBOOK GARDENS
I’m using the fun Storybook Gardens bundle for my garden theme card! Worked out pretty well!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Daffodil Delight cardstock, scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 and then folded the shorter flap back on itself for a Z fold.
- A 2- x 5-3/8 piece of Floral Delight DSP was added to the front flap.
- A 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 layer of Basic White cardstock was added to the center and stamped with the greeting from Simply Said in Early Espresso Ink.
- A 3/4 x 5-3/8 strip of Floral Delight coordinating DSP was added inside on the left edge.

- The largest Stylish Shapes circle was cut from the Crumb Cake textured Floral Delight DSP print. It was stamped with the Storybook Friends greeting across the top in Early Espresso Ink.
- A 1 x 3 strip of Early Espresso cardstock was torn across the top and added to the bottom of the circle, hand-trim around the edge of the circle to fit.
- The watering can solid image was cut with the Storybook Gardens die from Smoky Slate cardstock and the detail from Silver Foil Paper. It was adhered together and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The basket was stamped with Pecan Pie Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and cut with the die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Three greenery pieces were cut from Old Olive cardstock and added around the basket.
- The shovel was stamped with Pecan Pie Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Bends, then cut with the die and added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A small flower cluster was hand-cut from the Floral Delight DSP and tucked inside the basket.
- Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the left side of the circle, and it was added to the front flap towards the top.
- Two Tiny Bee Trinkets were added to the circle and inside by the greeting.
