Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s projects. If you’ve hopped over from Terry Lynn’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For Men/Boys”. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set, Everyday Arches Dies, Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper and the 1 3/4″, 1 7/8″ & 2″ Circle Punches for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Waterside Retreat DSP to a Peaceful Pine card base.

Using 2 different sizes of the Everyday Arches Dies, cut a panel of Peaceful Pine using the larger one and a panel of Waterside Retreat DSP using the smaller one. Adhere the DSP panel to the Peaceful Pine mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cut a panel of Basic White using the 1 3/4′ Circle Punch, a panel of Peaceful Pine using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch and a panel of Gray Granite using the 2″ Circle Punch. On the Basic White circle, stamp the sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Peaceful Pine Ink. Stamp the grass image from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the circle. Adhere the Basic White circle to the Peaceful Pine circle then to the Gray Granite circle. Tie a multi loop bow from Linen Thread and adhere it to the card front. Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front over the Linen Thread bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Peaceful Pine Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the larger grass image from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Peaceful Pine Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the smaller grass image from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Gray Granite Ink next to the larger one. Adhere a panel of Waterside Retreat DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat then to the inside of the Peaceful Pine card base.

Decorate a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the larger grass image from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Peaceful Pine Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the smaller grass image from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Gray Granite Ink next to the larger one. Adhere a panel of Waterside Retreat DSP to the envelope flap.
