The base cardstock is cut 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and then scored on the LONG side at 2 1/8
and 4 1/4″. That extra score line on the front of the card lets you fold the flap over exposing the inside of the card. It forms two panels that are easily decorated with pieces from the 6″ x 6″ Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper.
This double sided paper is a wonderful mix of garden flowers plus matching fun patterns like stripes, leaves, small flowers, and yes, even dragonflies that can be punched frith out with the Dragonflies Punch. Card making made simple.
The stamp set I used is called Dragonfly Garden. There are two different dragonflies to stamp, plus flowers and several sentiments. If you purchase the Bundle which includes both the stamp set and the punch, you can save 10%! 
I stamped the wildflowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I used Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. But if you don’t want to color them, there is also a stamp just for the wings. It’s that “smudgy” looking stamp above.
Did you notice what looks like a small dot on the flowers? That is one of the Ladybug Trinkets that is part of this suite of products. So cute!
One of the other products in this suite is the Dragonflies Punch. As mentioned earlier, you can punch dragonflies right from the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper, but you can also stamp and color your own and then punch them out. I added Wink of Stella to the wings of mine to give them a little gossamer sparkly effect.
The dragonfly is adhered to the belly-band to hide where the two ends overlap. And if you noticed I also did a little embossing with Whisper White Embossing Powder for my sentiment.
