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 handsome projects. If you’ve hopped over from Carol Buckalew’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Birthday”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Suite for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Sahara Sand card base. I adhered a strip of the Texture Chic DSP to a strip of Petal Pink cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered strip to the side of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Using my Chic Dies, I cut the net and 2 shell dies from a panel of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. I adhered the net die to the card front. I cut the detailed shell die from the Chic Die from a panel of Sahara Sand cardstock and adhered it to the card front over the net die. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the detailed seashell image from the Stampin’ Up! Season Of Chic Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink. I stamped the seashell fill image in Petal Pink Ink over the detailed image stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut the image out using my Chic Die. I adhered the seashell to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered one of the die cut shells from the Distressed Gold paper tucked under the stamped shell image.

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the fill seashell image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink over the shell image. I cut the sentiment out using the solid shell die from the Chic Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the bottom of the shell using a Glue dot. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the detailed shell image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Texture Chic DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the shell image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I added a shell I cut out from the Distressed Gold paper using the Chic Dies. I adhered a panel of Texture Chic DSP to the envelope flap.
