Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Did you ever have one of those days that start out great and slowly everything goes wrong? Sunday, we had out in person quarterly team meeting, and it was wonderful. We all got to stamp some beautiful cards together. I came home to finish up some finishing touches on the cards. I took all my pictures, like always, and emailed them to myself so they would be on my laptop. Well, the pictures wouldn’t send for some reason. I figured I would type my blog without them and add them in the morning if they went through. When I went to type my blog, I couldn’t get my computer to work either. By 10pm I gave up and said leave it for another day since I was so tired of fighting with it. Yesterday, after I got home from work, everything finally started to work and I didn’t do anything different. Sometimes me and technology just don’t get along.

Today’s card, which was going to be yesterday’s card, was one that we made at out meeting on Sunday. This stunning card was designed by Mary Deatherage and was a lot easier to make than it looks. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Bundle for my card today.

Using Blending Brushes, on a panel of Basic White add Petunia Pop Ink to the center of the panel. Once you have the color you like add Night of Navy Ink around the outside of the Petunia Pop area. Stamp the bough image from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petunia Pop Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the edges of the panel. Add Clear Wink of Stella by tapping the brush on your Bone Folder.

Stamp the large snowflake image from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Versamark Ink on the panel of Cloud Cover. Sprinkle the image with White Embossing Powder and set is using the Heat Tool. Using the Delicate Pines Dies cut the large snowflake stamped image, the large bough 2 times from a panel of Blue Peaceful Gardens Glimmer Paper, the small bough 3 times from a panel of Silver Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper and the leaf die 2 times from the center of the Silver Foil panel. Snip the large Blue Glimmer Paper bough die cuts in half and adhere them to the blended panel with Glue Dots. Adhere the 2 Silver Foil leaf die cuts with Glue Dots to the panel. Adhere the snowflake to the top of the die cuts with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Adhere the 3 small Silver Glimmer Paper boughs together using Glue Dots. Adhere the silver Glimmer Paper snowflake you created to the center of the stamped snowflake using a Glue Dot. On the panel of Cloud Cover stamp the sentiment from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. Add Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using the Blending Brushes, add Petunia Pop and Night of Navy Inks on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the bough image from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the blended area. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Silver Foil mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Using the Blending Brushes add Petunia Pop and Night of Navy Ink on the front corner of the envelope. Stamp the bough image from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the blended area. Stamp the snowflake images from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Night of Navy and Petunia Pop Inks on the envelope flap.
