Good Monday morning my stamping friends welcome to another work week. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? After work yesterday, my neighbor was having an 80th birthday party for her husband, so I stopped over for a bit before going home to make pizza.

For today’s card, I wanted to use some Sale-a-bration items since we are getting close to the end. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Wonderful World Bundle for my card today.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to an Orchid Oasis mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base.

I adhered a panel of Wonderful World DSP to an Orchid Oasis mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Orchid Oasis mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I fussy cut one of the larger flower images from the Wonderful World DSP using my Paper Snips. I adhered the flower to the sentiment panel 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 from Go To Greetings stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Wonderful World stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I colored the stamp using the marker to stamp technique using my Orchid Oasis and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Orchid Oasis 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 flower image from Wonderful World stamp set on the envelope front coloring it the same as the inside of the card. I adhered a panel of Wonderful World 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. Don’t forget this Wonderful World Bundle will only be available until August 31 or while supplies last. This is a free Sale-a-bration item available with a qualifying order of $100.00. Happy Stamping!!
