Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Hope you are able to enjoy some nice weather where ever you are. We’re expecting thunderstorms here today. I just love a good thunderstorm, as long as I’m not driving in it.

I have a clean and simple card for you today focusing on some Designer Series Paper that will be retiring soon. I’m going to be starting my card classes again and I wanted to make something really easy since the ladies haven’t stamped in quite some time. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hydrangea Haven Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Hydrangea Hill DSP to a Seaside Spray card base using Stampin’ Seal. Unfortunately when I made the card Seaside Spray was available. This card will look beautiful in Misty Moonlight too.

I stamped the sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the top of the DSP panel.

I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small cluster of hydrangea flowers from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Highland Heather and Rococo Rose Inks. I adhered a strip of the Hydrangea Hill DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Rococo Rose mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small hydrangea flower clusters from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set across the bottom or the envelope front in Rococo Rose, Misty Moonlight (stamped off twice) and Highland Heather Inks. I adhered a panel of Hydrangea Hill DSP to the envelope flap.

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