Good Friday morning my fellow stampers.  Have you all had a good week?  Any fun plans for the weekend?  I’m hoping to spend some time at my craft table.  I’ve seen a lot of great challenges that I’d like to try.

For today’s card I have a very quick and easy card even though there are many layers.  This is one of the cards we made at my workshop.  I had different levels of stampers and they all did a fabulous job.  Take a look.

I started with a Tranquil Tide card front and adhered a panel of Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper to it using Snail.  I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the bottom section of the card front.  I then adhered the card front to a Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  If you really like the Tranquil Tide, now is the time to grab it.  It will be going away in June, so it would be best to get it now before it hits the retiring list.  It’s such a beautiful rich teal color.  I’m surely going to miss it.

Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Stampin’ Up One For All stamp set in Tranquil Tide Ink.  By using the Stamparatus if the image wasn’t dark enough I was able to re-stamp it perfectly.  I then stamped the streamer and the birthday hat from the Stampin’ Up Around The Corner stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink.  I adhered the artwork to a Tranquil Tide Mat using Snail then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a few Gold Metallic Pearls to the artwork to add a little bling.

For the inside I used my Tranquil Tide and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Write Markers to color just the sentiment part of one of the other images from the One For All stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment in the center of a Very Vanilla panel then adhered it to the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I adhered a piece of the Share What You Love Specialty DSP to a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope flap.  There you have it a very quick and easy card that looks like it took you hours to make.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.  Happy Stamping!!
