Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? Hope you all have a productive one. We dropped from the mid 90’s Sunday to 70 yesterday. There was actually a little chill in the air.

I’m a little obsessed, I’ll admit it. I can’t stop using the 2021-2023 In-Colors and the Scalloped Contour Dies. I can’t get enough of them. Here’s my card for today.

I used another new set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Cling Stamp Set.

I joined in with the Fab Friday Color Challenge #214.

I started by stamping the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the stamp using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent markers from the 2021-2023 In-Color Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut the image out using my Scalloped Contours Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Soft Succulent Ink.

I adhered a panel of the Evening Evergreen 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut 2 rectangles using my Stitched Rectangle Dies from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I adhered 2 panels of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to the Fresh Freesia mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a small bow I tied using the Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the artwork using a Glue Dot. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set on the bottom of the panel which I colored using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set which I colored using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulents Stampin’ Write Markers on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals 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!!
