Stampin’ Up! OnStage Sneak Peeks

Posted on November 18, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was fantastic!! I got to spend 2 days in Hartford, CT with my team members at OnStage. It was a PERFECT way to spend my birthday weekend.

This is most of my group that I was with. Penny, Christy, Julie, Kim, Jaimie, me, Akiko and Amy. We had a great time catching up, stamping together and seeing the new Mini Catalog. It’s always a great time when we get together.

My awesome Upline, Jaimie, got to go to CenterStage for the 1st time.

Our amazing leader Amy got to walk across the stage as a Top Performer.

We received this beautiful backpack filled with some gifts as soon as we arrived.

Kim, Julie, Akiko and Terry Lynn are showing off their Prize Patrol stamp sets.

This was my Prize Patrol, Stampin’ Up! Breathtaking Bouquet Cling Background Stamp Set. I can’t wait to play with this one! I received 2 stamp sets and had to give one away to a random person that I never met within 10 seconds as a Random Gift of Kindness.

This was one of the first cards we made using the new Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling and Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Sets along with the new Peaceful Poppies DSP.

The next card we made used the new Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set and the new Tulip Builder Punch.

One of my favorite new sets coming is the Stampin’ Up Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set that has matching Cherry Blossoms Dies.

We made these 3 adorable 3″ note cards using the Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set that has All Dressed Up Dies to match.

Here are some more goodies that I came home with at the end of our convention.

These were all items that we used for our cards and at the end we were allowed to divide them up between us. The ribbon is the new Petal Pink 1/4″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon, it’s ana absolutely gorgeous glossy satin ribbon with champagne metallic edges. The paper is the New Country Club Designer Series Paper.

Here is the new 2020 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Catalog. You will be able to purchase from this catalog starting January 3, 2020 and earn FREE Sale-A- Bration items from January 3, 2020 – March 31, 2020. If you have placed an order with me and you are a customer of mine, I will be sending you your free catalog as soon as I get them Mid-December.

Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season Let Snow For Fun Fold Friday

Posted on November 15, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend, since it’s here already? I’m leaving today for Hartford, CT for OnStage. If you follow me on Facebook, I will be posting some new sneak peaks. I can’t wait to meet up with my fellow team members and to get my hands on the new Occasions Catalog. I will be sharing all that I am allowed with you next week and on my Facebook page.

For today’s card I’ve made a double triangle fun fold. Here’s my card.

The colors of my card were inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #327. Here are their colors.

I started with a full sheet of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I scored it at 4 1/4″ along the 8 1/2″ side and 5 1/2″ along the 11″ side. I lined the cardstock up in my Paper Trimmer on a diagonal and cut. You are now able to make 2 cards with this panel. I folded on the 2 fold lines having the 2 triangles meeting in the center of the card. I adhered a panel of Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper to each of the Real Red mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted DSP panels to each of the triangles of the Shaded Spruce card base.

I adhered a panel of the Let It Snow Specialty DSP, which I cut using the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies, to a scallop oval cut from the Layering Ovals Dies in Real Red Glimmer Paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Sparkle Glimmer Paper I stamped the snowman image from the Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I punched the snowman out using the Snowman Builder Punch. I punched the snowman’s arms out of Soft Suede cardstock using the Snowman Builder Punch. I adhered the arms to the back of the snowman using Glue Dots. I adhered the snowman to the center of the oval using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Snowman Builder Punch again, I punched out a hat from the Let It Snow Specialty DSP and adhered it to the top of the snowman using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I adhered the oval to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left side of the oval.

On the top right side of the card front I stamped the sentiment from the Snowman Season stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink and immediately sprinkled it with my Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snowman Season stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped another one of the snowman images from the Snowman Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Real Red mat using Snail and then adhered it to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the snowman image from the Snowman Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Let It Snow Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 14, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by. This week we had a Color Challenge and the colors screamed rustic to me. Be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here’s my card using our colors.

Here are our colors for this week.

My design was inspired by the Paper Craft Cres Challenge #358. Here is their sketch.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on the top of the Crumb Cake card front. I embossed the Crumb Cake card front using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped a small panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock using the Stampin’ Up Buffalo Check Cling Background Stamp in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the panel out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the cabin image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a small Crumb Cake panel. I cut the image out using a smaller Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered the artwork to the Buffalo Check stamped Cherry Cobbler panel using Snail. I stamped the bear image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock and fussy cut the image out using my Paper Snips. I adhered the bear to the corner of the artwork using a Glue Dot.

I adhered a strip of Early Espresso cardstock to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a piece of the 3/8″ Magnolia Lane Linen Ribbon with White Edge on the Early Espresso strip using Snail. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, making sure to add a couple Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals under the bear to secure it.

On the inside I stamped the cabin image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel stamping off 3 times. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink over the cabin image. I stamped the bear and deer image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel stamping off once. I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Early Espresso Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the cabin and bear image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Wishes Penguin

Posted on November 13, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week already and only 2 more days and I leave for OnStage. I’m so looking forward to meeting up with my team members for some stamping time and socializing. I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Occasions Catalog and be able to share some new things with you.

Today’s card is one that we made at our last Stamp Camp last week. I wanted to have a variety of cards for the ladies to make. Here’s my card.

I started by adhering a panel of Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series paper to a Real Red Mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped one of the penguin images from the Stampin’ Up! Playful Penguins Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I cut the image out using the oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered it to a Real Red Glimmer Paper scalloped mat which I cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the bow tie image from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Real Red Ink. I fussy cut the bow tie using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the penguin using a Glue Dot. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Real Red Ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock. I cut the strip into a banner using the Banner Triple Punch. I adhered a strip of Shaded Spruce cardstock below the matted artwork using Snail and adhered the sentiment banner on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Red Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the right of the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Real Red Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the penguin image from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the penguin image from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a piece of Let It Snow Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! So Many Stars for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month and you know what that means, Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects. If you’ve hopped over from Mary Deatherage’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays”. We can interpret this any way that we’d like.

For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up So Many Stars Bundle. Here’s my card.

I started by adhering a Whisper White card front to my Merry Merlot card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a star out of the center of both pieces of cardstock using the Stitched Stars Dies.

On a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Many Stars Photopolymer Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink. I adhered the sentiment strip to a Merry Merlot mat using Snail.

I adhered the matted sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the inside on a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped a large star image and a small star image from the So Many Stars stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink. I cut both stars out using the Stitched Stars Dies. I also cut out a medium and small star from Champagne Foil Sheet using the Stitched Stars Dies. I adhered the medium foil star to the large Whisper White star using a Glue Dot, not lining up the points. I adhered the small foil and Whisper White stars together using a Glue Dot, not lining up the points. I adhered the small stars to the medium stars using a Stampin’ Dimensional. On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the So Many Stars stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of a Merry Merlot panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stars to the center of the Merry Merlot panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the large and small star images from the So Many Stars stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink on the envelope front and envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Birds of A Feather

Posted on November 11, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. I’d like to take a moment to honor and thank all our Veterans. I for one had 2 in my family. My dad was in World War II serving in the Army and my brother was in Vietnam serving in the Navy. My brother got out on medical discharge, but he still served shortly. So Thank You to all those who have served for us. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun and exciting? After a fun cold time at the zoo on Friday, I had to work both Saturday and Sunday. It was a bit colder than I expected this weekend. I’m not quite ready for temps in the 40’s yet. Fall is in full bloom here. The leaves have changed and fallen from the trees (except for my tree in the front yard which always forgets that it’s fall). My husband got to rake the leaves all day Saturday and of course my fur baby helped. She supervised making sure he was doing it right.

For today I have a fun card for you using the Stampin’ Up! Birds of a Feather Cling Stamp Set. I almost forgot that this set has a Christmas bird. Here’s my card.

My colors were inspired by the CAS Colour & Sketch Challenge #346. I was determined to make these colors work for a Christmas card. Here are their colors.

My design came from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #410. Here is their sketch.

I started by embossing a Poppy Parade card front using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I wrapped a piece of the Silver 3/8″ Metallic Edge Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the Christmas bird from the Birds of a Feather stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Whisper White panel. I cut the image out using the 3rd largest Layering Square Die. I colored the image in using my Mango Melody and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used some of the new Snowfall Accents Puff Paint on the fur part of the hat and the pompom. I adhered the artwork to a Highland Heather scallop square cut from the 4th largest Layering Squares Dies. I adhered the artwork to the scallop square using Snail and added a Star Designer Elements to the artwork.

I stamped the sentiment from the Birds of a Feather stamp set in Mango Melody Ink on the Whisper White panel. I cut the sentiment out using the 4th largest Layering Squares Die. I adhered the sentiment to a Highland Heather scallop square cut from the 5th largest Layering Squares Dies using Snail. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork on top of the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Birds of a Feather stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the Christmas bird image from the Birds of a Feather stamp set popping out on either side of the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them in using my Mango Melody and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Birds of a Feather stamp set on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I stamped the star image from the Birds of a Feather stamp set in Mango Melody Ink along the edges of the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmastime is Here For Fun Fold Friday

Posted on November 8, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone making plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work, but today I’m heading to the Philadelphia Zoo for the day. It’s suppose to be sunny but cold, I believe only in the 40’s. Hoping the cool weather brings out the animals.

For today’s card I’ve been wanting to make this one for a while, but I needed to figure out how. This card for sure will be one that I hand to someone and not mail. Here’s my card.

The colors of my card were inspired by Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #367. Here are their colors.

I started by cutting all the panels for the card and cutting and scoring the card base. You need a 12″ X 12″ piece of cardstock for this card. I took a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and scored it at 1/4″, 3 3/4″ and 7 1/4″ using my Paper Trimmer. I turned the paper in the trimmer so that the 1/4″ side was against the bottom edge. I lined the paper up at the 5/8″ mark and scored from the end to the 7 1/4″ score line. I cut that piece off and folded the card like an accordion on the score lines.

On the 1/4″ fold I adhered the small Cherry Cobbler panel using Tear ‘n Tape. I set the card base on the side so that I could work on all the panels.

For the front panel I stamped the branch image from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on one of the small Whisper White panels. I colored the branch in using my Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the cardinal image from the Toile Christmas stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the cardinal in using my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut it out using the Christmas Cardinal Dies. I adhered the cardinal to the Whisper White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel of the Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper to each of the 4 panels of Whisper White cardstock using Snail. On the smallest panel I stamped the branch image from the Toile Christmas stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it in using my Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the other 3 panels I stamped sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Greatest Part of Christmas Host Cling Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow Inks. I adhered each of the Whisper White panels to Mossy Meadow mats using Snail and then to the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of the 1/4″ Gold Shimmer Ribbon around the card base in the middle and tied a bow. I added some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to the panels.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the cardinal from the Toile Christmas stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored the cardinal in using my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Christmastime Is Here Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. This was definitely not a quick and easy card today. Once everything was cut and I decided on the DSP and sentiments I wanted to use, it did go together pretty quickly. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! So Many Stars for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 7, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by. This week was a fun Sketch Challenge. Be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here’s what I came up with for the sketch.

Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of the Wrapped In Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Silver Foil Sheet card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Night of Navy cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up So Many Stars Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment strip to a Silver Foil Sheet banner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the scroll stars using the Stitched Stars Dies out of Silver Glimmer Paper. I snipped the scroll in half so that I could arrange it with the banner so that some was on top and some on the bottom.

I adhered the scroll to the card front using Glue Dots where the banner would cover. I adhered the sentiment banner over the scroll using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the stars from the scroll, scattered around on the card front, using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the So Many Stars stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the cluster of stars image from the So Many Stars stamp set in Basic Gray Ink around the sentiment, stamping off once. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the star cluster image from the So Many Stars stamp set in Basic Gray Ink along the bottom of the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Wrapped In Plaid Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Christmas Quick and Easy Card

Posted on November 6, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How are you all doing today? We’re halfway through the week already and a week into November. I may have to start doubling up on my Christmas card making if I want to have them done on time to sent out this year.

For today I have a super quick and easy card for you. I thought I’d do a few quick cards to get a little ahead of myself. Here’s my card.

I let the beautiful Night Before Christmas 6X6 Designer Series Paper do most of the work for me today. I started by adhering a panel of the Night Before Christmas DSP to an Early Espresso card front using Snail. I adhered the card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I really liked this paper and I knew just the sentiment I wanted to put with it. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Greatest Part of Christmas Host Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Frosted Frames Dies.

I adhered the sentiment to the right top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8″ Reversible Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment panel.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Greatest Part of Christmas stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla Panel. I adhered the panel to an Early Espresso mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I adhered a panel of the Night Before Christmas DSP to a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Cup Of Cheer

Posted on November 5, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week started off? We’re starting to have very chilly nights here and cool days. Perfect fall weather. I love when I have extra time to craft this time of year, unfortunately I always seem to have to work extra hours.

I have a non-traditional color Christmas card for you today. Take a look.

My colors were inspired by Inspire. Create Challenge #055. Here are their colors.

My design came from Mojo Monday Sketch #526. Here is their sketch

I started by embossing a Night of Navy card front using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a Lovely Lipstick panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered 2 banners to the top of the Lovely Lipstick panel. One in the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper using Snail. The other banner is Blushing Bride I stamped with the poinsettia image from the Stampin’ Up! Cup of Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blushing Bride Ink, which I adhered using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Whisper White panel. I cut the sentiment out using my Layering Circles Dies.

Using the Cup of Cheer Dies I cut the cup out of Blushing Bride cardstock. I cut the inner portion of the cup out of Lovely Lipstick cardstock using the Cup of Cheers Dies. I cut the candy cane out of Whisper White and Lovely Lipstick cardstock usng the Cup of Cheer Dies. I adhered the inner cup piece to the cup using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Lovely Lipstick candy cane to the top of the Whisper White candy cane using tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the candy cane to the back of the cup using a Glue Dot. I adhered the cup to the sentiment circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 3 Old Olive Noble Peacock Rhinestones to the center of the poinsettia on the cup.

On the inside I stamped the cup image from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in the center of the cup in Night of Navy Ink I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Old Olive mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the cup image from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the envelope front I stamped a sentiment from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of the cup. I stamped the poinsettia image from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the envelope flap.

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