Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend.

I have a simple card for today. I keep trying to make simple cards that you can recreate easily since I know everyone is busy. This one, other than the knot, can be a 5-minute card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the bottom of a Basic Whtie panel.

I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the top of the panel. I adhered the layered panel to a Petal Pink mat. I wrapped a piece of the Petal Pink 3/8″ soft Polyester Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a knot.

I adhered the card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Petal Pink around the sentiment. I stamped the flower center in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower centers in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

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