Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!!! It’s Flag Day in the US. Did you know that this day commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first national flag? Be sure to be flying those flags high today. Whatever your plans for today or the weekend are, I hope you all have fun.

Today’s card is another one that we made at our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. We are all having so much fun creating with this Online Exclusive Suite. If you’re liking what you have seen lately, you might want to register for our Online Class at the end of this month, but today’s the last day to do that. Today’s card was designed by one of my amazing team members, Nicole Bloxom. Nicole will actually be joining Tara and me for our August Class as a presenter, which I’m really looking forward to. Here’s my card for today designed by Nicole.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Cheers & Sips Bundle along with the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Painted Stripes Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies Photopolymer Stamp Set and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Add Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and Strawberry Slush Inks to the Painted Stripes stamp set using Blending Brushes. Starting at the top with Darling Duckling, then Timid Tiger in the center and Strawberry Slush on the bottom. Stamp the image on a Basic White card front. Adhere the stamped panel to a Strawberry Slush card base with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere a panel of Celebratory Sips DSP to a Strawberry Slush mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the 2 glass images and the strawberry and citrus images from the Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Using the Blending Brushes add Strawberry Slush Ink to the smaller glass and the strawberry images along with on the bottom of the tall glass image. Add Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling Inks with the Blending Brushes to the tall glass image and Timid Tiger to the citrus image. Cut all the images out with the Cheers & Sips Dies. Cut a slit in the citrus slice and adhere it to the tall glass with a Glue Dot. Adhere the strawberry to the small glass with a Glue Dot. Adhere the glasses to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Cheers & Sips stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. Add a Timid Tiger 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearl to the citrus slice. Add a few Holographic Resin Dots to the glasses.

Stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using the Blending Brushes, add Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and Strawberry Slush Inks to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Timid Tiger mat then to the inside of the Strawberry Slush card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the tall glass image from the Cheers & Sips stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Add Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and Strawberry Slush Inks to the glass with the Blending Brushes. Adhere a panel of Celebratory Sips DSP to the envelope flap.

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