Good Monday morning stamping friends, welcome to a new week. How was your weekend? It’s really warming up here in NJ, at least for this week. We’re supposed to hit 100 on Wednesday. Just a quick reminder that we are more than halfway through the May, which means you have less than 2 weeks to sign up and join the Stampin’ Up! community and get those 5 new In-Color stamp pads for FREE. Details below.

I have a quick card for you today using some older DSP and a new stamp set, which has become one of my favorites. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set, Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper and Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder for my card today.

Emboss a panel of Old Olive using the Paradise Garden EF. Adhere the embossed panel to an Old Olive card base.

Cut a panel of Lovely & Beautiful DSP on an angle. Adhere the top section of the Lovely & Beautiful DSP to a Fresh Freesia mat leaving equal border around the 3 sides. Adhere the smaller section of Lovely & Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the Fresh Freesia mat leaving equal border on the sides.

Stamp the sentiment from Scalloped Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of the DSP panels on an angle on the Fresh Freesia mat. Adhere the layered panel to the Old Olive card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Pearlized Faceted Circles to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Scalloped Blooms stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Lovely & Beautiful DSP to the side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Old Olive card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the floral image from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Lovely & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

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