One of my friends and I love to get up early in the morning and meet for coffee whenever we can. It’s a great way for us to get in some “girl time” before the day takes off. So the sentiment on the front of my card celebrates this time . The card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2
Inside I used Karen Burniston’s Garden Bench Pop It Ups die to create this scene. (Stamp is from Art Impressions) The die comes with the flowers and grass (and more!)
To keep “our feet on the ground” I used the grass and few flowers – and a box behind it. There’s also a box behind the image to keep it steady.
Can you see them? One on the bench and one on the ground.

Love this sweet, Spring scene Fran, it’s so inviting, really beautiful. This two friends are surely enjoying a delicious coffee break, I’m jealous!!!!!
Thanks Maria – makes me anxious for spring (and I know you are in the same place!) Hugs, Fran
Your park bench scene is genius. Love how the DSP makes such a great landscape (tree and flowering shrubs. Just so clever. Don’t know how you keep coming up with these great ideas.
You are too sweet! (and this is one of my favorite DSP prints!) Hugs, Fran
The garden bench is perfect for this card and the message. I can see you are having a great time with these dies, they are so much fun and you are doing wonderful things with all of them. The boxes were a clever idea to keep everything grounded. Can’t wait to see what you do next with this die.
Beautiful. What an honor it would be to receive a card like this. Isn’t that the best part of making these cards. Blessing others.
Thank you, Cari. The card was a big hit. It is wonderful to make things that friends appreciate. Hugs, Fran
I love AI stamps and using them with the Garden bench is genius … love love love this card!
You were the person who got me looking at these stamps
Hugs, Fran
I love the way you combine Stampin’ Up! and Karen’s dies. I hope Stampin’ Up! will start carrying them when this year is over. This card is perfect!
