Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend. Today is the last day to get your hands on the retiring items. If there are things that you have been wanting, grab them while you still can. Then, tomorrow the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog goes LIVE YAY!!! I’ve got my list ready to go, how about you?

Today’s card is another one we will be making at my class tomorrow night. All the cards we will be making tomorrow are Mother’s Day/Female cards. This card is stepped up a little, but if they don’t want to add the extra they don’t have to, it looks just a pretty without. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Tasteful Textile 3d Embossing Folder.

I started by stamped the single poppy image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the poppy image. I stamped the small splotch image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Real Red Ink on the flower.

I embossed the card front using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon around the matted panel and tied a bow.

I adhered the card front to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the single poppy image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the small splotch image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Real Red Ink on the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single poppy image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the small splotch image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Real Red Ink on the flower. I adhered a panel of the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (retiring today) 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!!
