Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned. I’ll be at work all day today, which is fine since it’s supposed to rain again. Tomorrow, I have my monthly team meeting virtually. I can’t wait to get together again with everyone. Our team is spread throughout the United States, so it’s a lot of fun ‘getting together’ with them. If you are interested in joining in our fun, I’d love to have you on my team. Information is below along with an awesome joining special from Stampin’ Up!

Today’s card is one that we made at a team meeting on Monday night. After we get some business talk done, my upline Jaimie does a Mystery Stamping. It’s always a lot of fun to see how everyone’s cards turn out. Same general design, but we all get to pick our stamp sets we want to use, our DSP and our cardstock color. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Texture Chic DSP to a Pool Party card base. I adhered a smaller panel of Texture Chic DSP to a panel Petal Pink Cardstock. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the bottom of the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the solid flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Photopolymer Stamp Set twice in Petal Pink Ink and once in Pool Party Ink. I cut the images out using my Chic Dies. From a small panel of Texture Chic DSP, I cut 4 of the small outline flowers. I flipped the DSP over and cut out 3 of the leaves. I cut 3 of the detailed flower dies from a panel of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. I adhered the detailed flowers to the stamped flowers using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the stamped flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered 3 of the small, detailed outline flowers tucked just under the stamped flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves around the flowers, tucked under, using Multipurpose Liquid glue. On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the brush stroke image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the sentiment. I adhered the 4th detailed die-cut flower by the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Texture Chic DSP to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Textured Chic DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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!!
