So that means $50 = 2 rewards, $100 = 4 rewards, $150 = 6 rewards etc. Click Here for details about my reward program.

Today’s card is one we will be making at my card class last night. I had fun stamping with a couple beginners. It reminded me of when I first started and had no idea what I was doing. I’ve made another clean and simple card using some DSP. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper.

I started by stamping the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink multiple times on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once, randomly around the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Hydrangea Hill DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the DSP panel to a Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the matted artwork to the side of the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the top of the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once, around the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once, around the flowers. I adhered a panel of the Hydrangea Hill 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. Don’t forget about my Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards going on until Monday May 10th!! For orders $50 or more before tax and shipping I will give you double rewards. Happy Stamping!!
