Painted Seasons - Cards 4a and 4b - from YouTube Live on March 19, 2019
This one took a little more effort than Cards 3a and 3b.  Our base was Poppy Parade Card Stock, cut at 11" x 4-1/4".  We scored it at 5-1/2" and laid it out horizontally.  Next, we took a 5-1/4" x 4" mat from the Painted Seasons DSP - the autumn-themed piece with mushrooms and acorns and ferns (so, so pretty).  BEFORE gluing that down, we used the Starburst Punch to punch a pretty circle from the DSP.  THEN we glued down the mat.  We also punched a piece of Poppy Parade using the Starburst punch, and glued the DSP punch out to the Poppy Parade Starburst.  Set them aside.

Next, using the wheat or fern looking stamp from the Painted Seasons stamp set (only available in the Painted Seasons bundle during Sale-a-Bration), we used Mango Melody to stamp 2 images onto Whisper White and 2 onto Mango Melody Cardstock.  We ran those through our die-cutting machine using the TWO wheat/fern dies in the Four Seasons Framelits Dies set (a Sale-a-Bration coordination product available for purchase while supplies last through March 31, 2019).  

Using mini glue dots, we placed the stems of the wheat die cuts onto the Poppy Parade card base that was peeking through the DSP.  Then we carefully lined up the DSP/Poppy Parade Starburst and placed the circles back over the cut out area, using Stampin' Dimensionals, of course!

Last, we stamped "Hello" using the Floral Frames stamp set, using the Poppy Parade Stampin' Pad.  We punch 4a using the Pretty Label punch, but 4b on the live using the Story Label punch (also a Sale-a-Bration coordination item available through March 31, 2019).  We placed that over the Starburst circle and embellished it with retired items from the Holiday 2018 catalog in Poppy Parade.

On the inside, we just used a Whisper White mat cut at 5-1/4" x 4" and put a piece of the fall Painted Seasons DSP about 1-1/4" x 4" on the left side of the card.  Ta Da!  Beautiful finished card!
