Stampin’ Up! Christmas Means More Elf

Posted on by
6

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I’ve got a busy couple days with work then I start my yearly Christmas baking on Wednesday night. Perfect time to be baking since we are expecting a pretty big snow storm. Last I heard they are predicting 12″-18″ of snow, but I always wait since they are seldom correct. Guess we’ll have a white Christmas this year. I normally have off today, but I felt bad that I couldn’t work this Thursday or Friday and I know how busy the dog bakery is right now, so I told them I could work today.

I have one final super fun Christmas card for you today. All my cards have now been mailed and I think I’m done for the season. I’ve been wanting to make this one and I have someone special in mind that I want to send it to. I forgot how much fun these cards are to make. Here’s my final Christmas card for the season (I hope).

I used the retiring Stampin’ Up! Christmas Means More Photopolymer Stamp Set for the inside of my card. The outside is all cut and punched pieces. I’ve seen a card similar made by Rachel Tessman, I added my own twist to it.

I started by embossing a Granny Apple Green card front using the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of the Brushed Metallic cardstock using the Ornate Layers Dies. I sponged the edges of a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock using Granny Apple Green Ink and my Stamping Sponge. I scored the center of the panel, folded it in half and sponged the inside edges with the Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the sponged panel to the center of the Brushed Metallic die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I took a strip of Basic Black cardstock and adhered a rectangle of Brushed Metallic cardstock in the center using Stampin’ Seal. I cut a smaller rectangle of Basic Black cardstock and adhered it in the center of the Brushed Metallic using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the belt to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 2 trees from a panel of Whisper White cardstock using the Pine Tree Punch and embossed them using the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder. I adhered the trees to the top of the card front using Glue Dots, having them over lap on the score line of the center Granny Apple Green piece. I adhered the card front to a Granny Apple Green card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Means More stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Brushed Metallic mat using Stampin’ Seal then to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the feather image from the Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Touches Cling Stamp Set in Real Red Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a strip of Daffodil Delight cardstock to the bottom of the envelope front. If you know the movie Elf he wears a green hat with a yellow rim and red feather. I adhered a panel of Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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

WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK PRODUCTS- AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

Stampin’ Up! announced this information related to the Whisper White paper products late last evening:

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

What does this mean for you?

With Whisper White going out of production, this means a number of Whisper White products will be affected. Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out.

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Birthday Sneak Peek

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? I finally had time to sit down with write out all my Christmas cards. I was doing it at 1am, but I got them done. Who needs sleep this time of year anyway?

I have a sneak peek for you today from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my cardl

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set and the new Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a panel of the new Fine Art Floral DSP to a Merry Merlot card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Merry Merlot cardstock using the new Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered a panel of Fine Art Floral DSP to the embossed panel on an angle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a piece of Fine Art 3/8″ Ribbon to the angled DSP using a little Stampin’ Seal.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the 2-step flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Bumblebee Ink. I stamped the detailed image full strength and the fill image stamped off once. I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink over the flower image then cut the image out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I cut the larger die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies from a panel of Bumblebee cardstock. I adhered the stamped image to the top of the Bumblebee die using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Gilded Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bloom & Grow Photopolymer Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the 2-step flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Bumblebee Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Merry Merlot card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a strip of Fine Art Floral DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. Products from today’s card will be available starting January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Darling Donkey Sneak Peek

Posted on by
8

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend going? I have to work again today, but at least I don’t go in until noon.

I have a sneak peek for you today of a Sale-A-Bration item that will be available January 5, 2021. I used the adorable Stampin’ Up! Darling Donkey Cling Stamp Set. Here is my card for today.

My design is from the Fab Friday Challenge #203. Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of the 2019-2021 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I embossed a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock using the new Painted Texture 3 D Embossing Folder (available January 5, 2021). On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the donkey image from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image in using my Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Ivory and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the star image around the donkey in Pretty Peacock Ink and cut the image out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Early Espresso Ink.

I adhered the circle to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a piece of the Terracotta Tile 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon to the bottom of the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Cling Stamp Set in the center of a Whisper White panel in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the stars on either side of the sentiment in Pretty Peacock Ink. I adhered a strip of the 2019-2021 In-Color DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped another one of the donkey images from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Crumb Cake, Ivory and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the donkey image from the Darling Donkey stamp set on the envelope front in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image in using my Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Ivory and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of 2019-2021 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. The Embossing Folder I used will be available for purchase starting January 5, 2021. The Darling Donkey stamp set will be a free Sale-A-Bration item with a qualifying order of $50. If you would like a copy of the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, drop me a line at creativestampingdesigns@gamil.com and I will gladly get one in the mail to you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Happy Stamping!!

WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK PRODUCTS- AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

Stampin’ Up! announced this information related to the Whisper White paper products late last evening:

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

What does this mean for you?

With Whisper White going out of production, this means a number of Whisper White products will be affected. Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

  • Whisper White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
  • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
  • Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
  • Whisper White 3″ x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock (100730)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Cardstock (140272)
  • Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Touches CAS

Posted on by
10

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend is starting out great. I’m working the whole weekend between my 2 jobs. My husband went to pick out our tree yesterday, he had to go to a couple different places. I can’t believe how many places are sold out of trees already. He unboxed all the ornaments last night and is planning on decorating it today. I can’t touch the tree, I’m allergic to it, lucky me. We do not put up traditional ornaments, our tree is filled with Disney ornaments and others similar toy type ornaments.

For today I have a Clean and Simple card for you where I made my own DSP. I went to the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and used the Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Touches Cling Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #465. Here is their sketch.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #354. Here are their colors.

I started by stamping the images from the Tasteful Touches stamp set randomly on a panel of Whisper White cardstock in Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Misty Moonlight. Some are stamped in full strength and some are stamped off once.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center. I stamped the feather image from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamped off 3 times, over the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a piece of Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color 1/4″ Ribbon to the top of the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the images from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Misty Moonlight Ink around the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the images from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Misty Moonlight Inks on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Sometimes we get so focused on the items in the mini catalogs that we forget about all the beautiful sets that are in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I think this is one of my favorites. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Warm and Toasty for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you all ready for the weekend? I’m not sure, but I think my husband might be going to cut our tree. I’ll be working all weekend I believe.

I thought I was done making my Christmas cards and my husband asked me to make a card for his department to give their supervisor. Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card that I made. I used a few stamp set for my card, but the main set I used was the Stampin’ Up! Warm & Toasty Cling Stamp Set.

I played along with The Spot Challenge #140. Their theme is Holiday Throwdown (Over the Top Holiday Cards).

I started by adhering 8 panels of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper to the front and back of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from Warm & Toasty stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Snowflake Splendor DSP. I adhered the DSP to a Whisper White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped 4 of the animal images from the Warm & Toasty stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the images in using my Balmy Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Just Jade, Real Red, Smoky Slate and Color Lifter Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut all the images using my Paper Snips. Using the Pine Woods Dies, I cut 3 of the snow drift dies from a panel of Whisper White cardstock.

I adhered a strip of Silver Foil sheet to the top snow drift using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the snow drifts together using Glue Dots on the bottom 2 and Stampin’ Dimensionals on the top one. I stamped the snow image in Balmy Blue Ink on the drifts to give them a little dimension. I adhered the snow drifts to the card base using Tear & Tape on the top section and Stampin’ Dimensionals on the bottom.

I adhered the cut images to the card front and snow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. After I added them I felt like the inside still needed a little something, so I added a tall pine tree I had cut from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the Pine Woods Dies. I also stamped the tree cluster image from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut out using the Pine Woods Dies. I adhered the tall pine tree using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the tree cluster using Glue Dots.

This is how the card looks when it is sitting on a table, so you can see how it is folded.

On a Whisper White panel I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas Cling Stamp Set the the Stampin’ Up! From All Of Us Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink towards the top. I adhered the Whisper white panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin Seal and then adhered it to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped 2 of the small tree images from the In The Pines stamp set in Just Jade Ink and cut them out using the Pine Woods Dies. I adhered them to the side panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small tree images from the In The Pines stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. How is everyone doing today? If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a sketch challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects.
Here is our sketch for this week

Here is my card using this sketch.

I pulled out a bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog for today’s card, the Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Bundle. I thought it made a nice wintery masculine birthday card.

I started by stamping the mountain image from the Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the tree image from the Mountain Air stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the same panel. I cut both image out using the Majestic Mountain Dies.

On a smaller panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the mountains from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of the panel. I stamped the cloud image from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once. I colored the moon/sun in using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the die cut mountains over the stamped mountains using Stampin’ Dimensionals, then I adhered the die cut trees to the bottom of the panel overlapping the mountains using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the bottom only. I adhered the artwork to a Garden Green panel on an angle using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to a Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friend Like You Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friend Like You stamp set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the bird image from the Mountain Air stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the mountains from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite Ink about 1/2″ from the bottom of the panel. I stamped the tree image from the Mountain Air stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Garden Green Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the mountains from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Corner Bouquet Sneak Peek

Posted on by
1

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. Hope you are all having an awesome week. We’re already halfway through and on our way to the weekend.

I have another sneak peek for you today using all Sale-A-Bration items that will be available January 5, 2021. You can earn these items free with a qualifying purchase for the months of January and February. My card for today was designed by Mary Deatherage, one of my awesome team members, for our Inkin’ Krew Team Meeting this past Sunday. We were all able to stamp virtually together. Here’s my card for today.

My card uses the Stampin’ Up! Corner Bouquet Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Heal Your Heart Cling Stamp Set along with the Oh So Ombre 6 X 6 Designer Serie Paper. All items are from the 2021 Sale-A-Bration Catalog starting January 5, 2021.

I started by positioning the panel of Oh So Ombre DSP in the Stamparatus. I placed the smaller corner image from Corner Bouquet in the bottom left corner of the DSP panel –
and pick it up with an acrylic plate of my Stamparatus. I stamped the image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I turned the DSP panel 180 degrees – placing it back in the same spot it was – but upside down and stamped the corner image again. I used the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set in the middle of the panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Using the largest rectangle die in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, I cut the middle from the panel – with the sentiment centered in the die cut. I adhere the larger part of the panel to one of the Basic Black cardstock panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. To create the multi-shade tone I turned the panel upside down. So…if the dark part of the DSP was “up” when you were stamping…then put it “down” now. I adhere the die cut sentiment back into the negative space with Stampin’ Dimensionals making sure the stamped floral image lines up.

I then adhered it to a Rococo Rose card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added three Rococo Rose Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I used the Stamparatus to stamp the Corner Bouquet image in the bottom left corner of a Whisper White panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Rococo Rose card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the Corner Bouquet image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Oh So Ombre DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked the card. All these items, except the pearls, will be available free with a qualifying purchase starting January 5, 2021 from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus Sneak Peek

Posted on by
12

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. 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 beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Karen Finkle’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate”.  We can interpret this however we want.  I decided to do a birthday celebrate card using the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus Product Medley from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card.

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock and using my Sponge Brayers, I started on the bottom of the panel with Daffodil Delight Ink. I then blended Mango Melody Ink with the Daffodil Delight in the center of the panel. Last I blended Calypso Coral Ink from the center to the top. Once I had the coverage I wanted I cut the panel using the 3rd largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I then stamped the 2 cactus from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus Photopolymer Stamp Set (that’s only available from the Flowering Cactus Product Medley), in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel.

On another panel of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the small cactus image from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink 3 times. I stamped the larger cactus image from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the Whisper White panel. I stamped the flower images from the Flowering Cactus stamp set, one in Highland Heather Ink and one in Poppy Parade Ink. I cut all the images out using my Flowering Cactus Dies (part of the Flowering Cactus Product Medley). I also cut the tall cactus from the Flowering Cactus Dies from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock. I adhered the cactus on the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Product Medley also comes with sheets of adorable stitched felt flowers. I adhered the stamped and felt flowers to the cactus using Glue Dots. I adhered the artwork to a Basic Black Mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Whisper White mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the smallest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered a panel of the Flowering Cactus 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (from the Product Medley), to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted artwork to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front overlapping the artwork. I tied a multiloop bow with the Calypso Coral Linen Thread (from the Product Medley) and adhered it to the bottom of the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the cactus image from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of the Flowering Cactus DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the cactus and flower images from the Flowering Cactus Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Flowering Cactus DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. I don’t usually buy the card kits or product medley’s from the catalog, but when I saw this one I just knew I had to have it. It is such an awesome medley and will be available January 5, 2021. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.
