Good Monday morning my stamping friends and Happy Independence Day!!! Does anyone have any fun plans for today? It’s going to be a quiet day here. Maybe a little gardening, maybe some card making and just a little BBQ for my husband, daughter and me.

I have a quick card today that I’m thinking about using for my Stamp Camp Card Class tomorrow night. I haven’t decided yet what we are going to make. I guess I should get on that. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cup Of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Cling Stamp Set and Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I played along with the Colorful Options July Challenge Red, White and Blue.

I started by adhering a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Starry Sky card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the striped teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on top of the cup. I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered the embossed panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine and adhered it to the teacup handle using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on top of the cup. I adhered a strip of the Tea Boutique DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat and then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on top of the cup. 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. Happy Stamping!!
