Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Happy May Day!!! Hope your weekend is starting off good and maybe you have some fun plans. In just 3 short days the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog goes live, YAY!!! My shopping list is ready to go.

I have a quick card for you today using the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship Cling Stamp Set (available May 4th) and the new Scalloped Contours Dies (also available May 4th). Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from the Inspire. Create Challenge #089.

I started by stamping the floral image from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel twice. I colored the images in using my Granny Apple Green and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel.

Using my Scalloped Contours Dies I cut the larges scalloped rectangle from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the scalloped rectangle to a Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the artwork to the scalloped mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Mango Melody Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the floral image from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel and colored the image in using my Granny Apple Green and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bermuda Bay card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Granny Apple Green and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the 2020-2022 In- Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (these designs will be retiring May 3rd) 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!!
