Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? It was a gorgeous one here and I had the whole weekend off from work, YAY!!! We had our in person, virtually, team meeting yesterday, we have such an awesome team. Even though we’re all in our own homes, I love stamping with everyone and it’s always great to be able to put the faces with their names.
Over the next couple days I will be sharing some of the projects that we made after our business meeting. All the cards we made used the Stampin’ Up! Celebration Tidings Bundle, but they are all so different. My first card was designed by my Upline Jaimie. Here’s my card for today.
I started by embossing a Cherry Cobbler card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhering it to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I cut a panel of Plaid Tidings 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper using the 3rd largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered it to a Whisper White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the right side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, I cut a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the 4th smallest die and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock using the 2nd smallest label die from the Celebration Labels Dies and scored it in half. I stamped the flourish image from the Stampin’ Up! Celebration Tidings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on an angle on the front of the label. I colored the image in using my Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I added a couple Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front of the label.
On the inside of the label, I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrations Tidings stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I adhered the label to the Shaded Spruce panel using Stampin’ Seal and adhered another Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the Shaded Spruce panel.
On the inside I stamped the flourish image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the 2 corners of a Whisper White panel. I colored the images in using my Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in the center of the panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat using Stampin’ Seal 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 flourish image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink twice on the envelope front and colored the images in using my Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a thin strip of Plaid Tidings DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
