Stampin’ Up! Lovely You for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkel’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set along with the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper for my book fold card today.

These are our colors this week. I chose Polished Pink for my mystery color.

I started by coloring some of the flowers on a panel of the Perfectly Penciled DSP using my Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the card front and strip to Polished Pink mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the binding side of the card front together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Versmark Ink and sprinkled it with my Black Embossing Powder. I set it using my Heat Tool. I punched the sentiment out with my Double Oval Punch. I punched out a scalloped oval from a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped oval using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a piece of Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped the small flower from the Lovely You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the envelope front.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Last Chance Items and BOGO 50% off Kits Ending Tomorrow

Hello Stampin’ Friends. No card for today. Today was a very sad and hard day for my family. We lost my best friend, sidekick, walking buddy and shadow. My fur baby Jasmine had to cross over the Rainbow Bridge. She gave us 14 of the most wonderful years ever and I will miss her more than anything you can ever imagine. My days won’t be complete for a while without her. Every morning we would share my fruit and usually whatever else I would have. I’m not going to know what to do with my pizza crust anymore. I haven’t eaten pizza crust for 14 years, she always got that. Jasmine was one very special puppy; the princess of the house and she will be in our hearts forever. Please bear with me over the weekend if I don’t post any cards.

Rest In Peace Girl Friend till we meet again.

Stampin’ Up! Sunkissed for The July-December Mini Catalog Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to our July-December 2022 Mini Catalog Blog Hop. If you’ve hopped over from Jaimie Barbarczy’s blog, thank you for stopping by. We thought this would be a great way for you to see some of the beautiful products that will be available coming up Mini Catalog starting on July 1, 2022. We each got to pick a stamp set, bundle or suite that we wanted to feature. I hope you enjoy seeing everyone’s beautiful projects. Here’s mine using a new stamp set from the Mini Catalog.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sunkissed Cling Stamp Set (available July 1st) along with the Design A Daydream Host Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to a Pool Party card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the palm tree image from the Sunkissed stamp set. I colored the stamp using my Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Parakeet Party, Soft Suede, and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Write Markers, I huffed a couple times on the stamp and stamped it on the Basic White panel. I cut the image out using my Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Sunkissed stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the stamped image to a Pool Party mat.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the chair & umbrella image from the Sunkissed stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the layered panel to the left side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the fussy cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems (available July 1st) to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sunkissed stamp set in Pool Party Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sand and shells image from the Sunkissed stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink along the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand and shells image from the Sunkissed stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card, and this will be one on your list to buy.

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Hugs Sneak Peek

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do something fun.

Today’s card is the last card that we made at our Creativity Now Event last Saturday. This one I did the way they suggested. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Splendid Thoughts Bundle along with the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set for today’s card.

I started by embossing a Calypso Coral card front using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. Using my Blending Brush and the Craft White Ink, I brushed some ink over the bricks. I wrapped a piece of Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Petal Pink cardstock I stamped the eucalyptus image from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the large leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the 2 stamped panels out using my Splendid Stems Dies. From the panel of Basic White cardstock, I cut out 4 more of the leaf dies from the Splendid Stems Dies. I cut the half-moon die from a panel of Splendid Day DSP. On the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips.

On the embossed panel I adhered the die cut pieces with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the half-moon die on the bottom of the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the half-moon die using Glue Dots. I added a few Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Through It Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the eucalyptus and leaf images from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the eucalyptus and leaf images from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Splendid Day 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. Products used for my card will be available for purchase starting this Friday July 1st. If you are not a customer of mine yet and would like a copy of the catalog, please drop me a note at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com. I’d be more than happy to put one in the mail. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Thank You Sneak Peek

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

Today’s card is part 2 of yesterday’s card. This one is also out of my comfort zone, but I had fun making it and was happy how it turned out. This was another one we made last Saturday at our Creativity Now Event and I tweaked it a little from the way they made it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle along with the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder. I lightly brushed Soft Sea Foam Ink over the embossed panel using my Blending Brush. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I blended some Soft Sea Foam Ink to the bottom corner of the panel using my Blending Brush. I stamped the solid eucalyptus leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I took the 4 negative die cut panels from yesterday’s card and adhered them to the Soft Sea Foam panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using my Splendid Stems Dies, I cut 3 pieces of Splendid Day DSP using the leaf die. I adhered the 3 die cut leaves inside 3 of the negative half-moon dies using Glue Dots.

On a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment using my Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it to the 4th negative half-moon die using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the solid eucalyptus leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set around the panel in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the eucalyptus leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked the card and will give it a try. Some of the products that were used in today’s card will be available on Friday July 1st. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Birthday Sneak Peek

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans? I’ll be at work all day today, but they gave me off tomorrow so I can stay home with my fur baby. She still can’t stay alone since we have to keep her off the stairs.

Today’s card is another one that we made last Saturday night at our Creativity Now Event. Today and tomorrow’s cards actually go together, you’ll see why tomorrow. They are both outside of my comfort zone, but it’s ok to do that and try new things. I’m actually happy with how they turned out. I did tweak the cards a little from how they designed them. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle along with the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by randomly stamping the large leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink on a Petal Pink card front. I embossed the panel using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut 4 panels of the Splendid Day DSP using the 1/2 moon shape die from the Splendid Stems Dies. Using my Paper Snips, I distressed the edge of a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the 4 die cut pieces to the Basic White panel unevenly leaving a space for the sentiment. I wrapped a piece of the Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel and tied a knot. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Open Leaf Trinket to the card front using a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the large leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set around the panel in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. The Bundle and DSP used for today’s card will be available starting Friday July 1st. If you don’t have a demonstrator and would like a copy of the Annual and Mini Catalog, please contact me and I’ll get one out to you right away. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea Fun Fold Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I know I sure am. It’s been one of those weeks for me. My poor fur baby spent Monday at the ER, she was having seizures all day. She’s doing better, but it’s a long way off before she’s back to herself. She’s able to walk a little better now, but she’s still very wobbly, she’s walking like she’s drunk. On top of that on Monday, a very sentimental tree of mine had to come down. My dad planted a Bradford Pear tree in my front yard about 28-29 years ago, which was when we move into our house. The tree split down the middle. One bad storm, and the tree was coming down right onto my house. Unfortunately, we had to have it cut down and now my house is so bright inside. That tree was taller than my house and provided my entire front yard with shade. I’m ready for this week to end.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. I actually have 2 versions of the card to show you. Here are my cards for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea Bundle along with the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my cards today.

I started by embossing a Fresh Freesia panel using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the top of the panel. I scored a panel of Tea Boutique DSP at 2″, 2 1/4″, 3″, 3 1/4″, 4″, 4 1/4″, 5″ & 5 1/4″. Fold the 1/4″ score lines into Mountain Folds and the others into Valley Folds.

Here is the template for the half drapery fold panel.

I adhered the drapery folded panel to the bottom of the embossed panel making sure to have the same edge as the top panel. I used a strip of Tear & Tape along the top edge of the drapery fold. This holds all the folds in place. I wrapped a piece of the Orchid Oasis 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon around the layered panel securing it on the back with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to an Orchid Oasis card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Teacup Dies, I cut the solid cup from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I cut the detailed teacup from a panel of 2022-2024 In-Color Glimmer Paper. I cut the solid lemon from a panel of So Saffron cardstock. I cut the detailed lemon from a panel of Basic White cardstock that I colored with my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker. On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tea tag outline image from the Stampin’ Up! cup of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set in Fresh Freesia Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink inside the tag. I cut the tag using the Teacup Dies. I adhered the detailed teacup to the solid teacup die and the detailed lemon to the solid lemon die. I adhered a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack to the back of the teacup and the tea tag using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the teacup, tag and lemon to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Cup of Tea stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base. If you watched my video, I had lost my lemon and had to make another one. I found my lemon and decided to add it to the inside of the card next to the teacup.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Fresh Freesia and Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments on my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by stamping the basket weave image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries Photopolymer Stamp Set on a Crumb Cake card base in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Die. I stamped the sentiments from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot Inks on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron panel, which I cut using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Die, on an angle using Stampin’ Seal.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the cherry image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink 3 times. On another strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink 6 times. On a thin strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the stem image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink 3 times. I punched all the images our using my Cherry Builder Punch. I adhered the stems to the back of the cherries using Glue Dots. I adhered the 1st cherry to the layered panel using Glue Dots and adhered the leaves to the stem using Glue Dots. I adhered the other 2 cherries to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals or Glue Dots.

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot Inks on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cherry image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Merry Merlot Ink. I stamped the stem in Crumb Cake Ink and the leaves in Mint Macaron Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cherry images from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I stamped the basket weave image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the envelope flap in Crumb Cake Ink.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends.  I hope everyone is having a productive week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. It’s been gorgeous here for the past week, sunny and perfect temp.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is By The Sea. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set for my clean and layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #178.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I played along with the Alphabet Challenge ‘F is for Friendship’.

I started by stamping the shell images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Shimmery White panel. I cut the image out using the largest die from the Seaside Seashells Dies. I them embossed the panel using the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.

I lined up a panel of Pool Party cardstock with the front of a Basic White Thick card base and using the 2nd largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut both panels together. I put a think bead of Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the edge of the front of the Basic Whtie Thick card base and adhered the die cut shells. I adhered the Pool Party frame over the die cut panel, making sure it lined up with the card base, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink, I added color to a panel of Vellum Paper. I adhered the panel of inked Vellum to the inside front of the Basic White Thick card base with the inked side against the die cut image.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sand dollar image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set over the sand dollar image in Sahara Sand Ink. I cut the image out using the coordinating die from the Seaside Seashells Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small double bow using the Crumb Cake bakers twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the star fish image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the top of the panel. I stamped the seaweed images form the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Pool Party Ink along the bottom of the panel, some stamped full strength and some stamped off once. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand, shells and seaweed images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set on the bottom front of the envelope and the envelope flap in Crumb Cake, Pool Party and Sahara Sand Inks.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Contact me if you have any questions.  Head over to my Online Store on Tuesday June 21st to take advantage of this awesome offer.

Today I have a card that we made at our Creativity Now event from Saturday night. The designers from Stampin’ Up! came up with 4 different cards that we made. Some of them were not exactly my style, but I made them anyway. They adhered DSP and dies crooked on the card fronts. Those that know me, know that I like things straight. These cards were out of my comfort zone, and I liked them lol. I’ll be showing the others over the next week. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle (available July 1st) along with the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set and Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper (available July 1st) for my card today.

I started by embossing a Fresh Freesia card front using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Fresh Freesia card base. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the card front on an angle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I colored a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Fresh Freesia and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the top half with my Light Pool Party and the bottom half with my Light Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker. I colored of the center of the panel with Dark Pool Party and Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker (I hope this makes sense). I stamped the bumblebee image from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Pool Party and Fresh Freesia Inks on their respective colors. I adhered the panel to the card front at the opposite angle of the DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink. Using my Paper Snips, I cut the ends into a banner. I cut 2 of the leaf dies from the Splendid Stems Dies from a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I adhered the dies to the back of the sentiment using Glue Dots. I adhered a piece of the beautiful Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon (available July 1st) behind the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the eucalyptus and bumblebee images from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the eucalyptus and image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front and the bee image in Fresh Freesia Ink. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. The bundle and DSP used for my card today will be available for purchase starting on Friday July 1st. I hope that you are getting those shopping lists ready. I have mine ready to go first thing in the morning. Happy Stamping!!
