Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope you are all having a productive one. Last night after a long day at work, I did a quick Facebook live video sharing my new produce pre-order from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. If you missed it and want to see some of the goodies, you can see it here.

For today’s card I did not use new product, but I did use some retiring product. I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Blooms Bundle and the True Love Designer Series Paper. This stamp set is one of my favorite sets that will be retiring in May. I just love the images in this set and I’ve used them so much. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Inspire. Create. Challenge #087.

I also played along with Just Us Girls Word Week Challenge #578.

I started by adhering 2 panels of True Love DSP to Melon Mambo mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the rose image from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Blooms Cling Stamp Set. I colored the image using my Just Jade and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowering Blooms stamp set in Just Jade Ink twice on the Basic White panel. I cut the images out using my Flowering Dies. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Pinewood Planks 3E Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Melon Mambo mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the die cut leaves to the back of the rose image using Glue Dots. I adhered the rose image to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from Flowering Blooms stamp set in Just Jade Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Blooms stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the rose image from the Flowering Blooms stamp set on the bottom of the panel, coloring the stamp using my Just Jade and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Melon Mambo mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Flowering Blooms stamp set on the envelope front coloring it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of True Love 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!!
