Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. Did you all have a nice Christmas? Was Santa good to you? Did anyone get some fun new stamping products? Hope you all had an enjoyable day with your loved ones.
For today’s card I have a little sneak peek for you. I played along with the Fab Friday sketch challenge #153. Please be sure to stop by Fab Friday to play along and see what everyone has made. Here is their sketch.
Here is what I came up with for the sketch. Take a look.
I started with a Crumb Cake card base and using Snail I adhered a panel of the beautiful All My Love Designer Series Paper, which will be available January 3, 2019. I adhered a smaller strip of the same DSP about 2/3 of the way down the card front.
On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the teacup image from the Stampin’ Up Time For Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lovely Lipstick Ink. Using my Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Write Marker I colored part of the sentiment in and stamped it above and below the teacup. I colored the teacup in using my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using my Big Shot and my Stitched Shaped Framelits Dies, I cut out the teacup with my second largest stitched circle. I adhered the artwork to a Pearlized Doilie using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Using my Big Shot, I cut a circle out from Balmy Blue cardstock using my Layering Circles Framelits Dies. I adhered the Balmy Blue circle just under the Doilie. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside on a Whisper White panel I stamped the bottom section of the sentiment from the Time For Tea stamp set in Lovely Lipstick Ink. I stamped the teacup in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off twice, on top of the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Snail then adhered it to the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card, I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the teacup from the Time For Tea stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the front of the envelope. I adhered a piece of the All My Love DSP on the envelope flap.

Product List
I started with a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock for the card base. I stamped the small leaf image from Rooted in Nature in Cajun Craze Ink on the card front. I then adhered a piece of Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper to the right side of the card front using Snail.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the image of one of the trees. To get the 2 colors I colored the stamp using my Soft Suede and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Write Markers. I then sponged a little Mint Macaron on the bottom of the white paper to make it look like grass. Using Snail I adhered it to a Grapefruit Grove mat. I attached it to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the smaller leaf image 3 times, once each in Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron Inks. I then cut the leaf images out using the Nature’s Roots Framelit Dies with my Big Shot. I attached them to the top left of my center piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a bow made from Linen Thread to the bottom of my 3 leaves using a Glue Dot.
On the inside Whisper White panel, I stamped the small leaf image multiple times using Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron Inks. Some of the images are full strength and some are stamped off. No sentiment was added so that the card could be used for any occasion. I adhered the panel using Snail to a Grapefruit Grove mat. Using Liquid Glue I adhered it to the card base.
To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope by stamping the small leaf image in Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron Inks, stamping off once, around the edges of the envelope.
I started with a Grapefruit Grove card base. I adhered a piece of Share What You Love Designer Paper to the front using Snail.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Love What You Do Photopolymer Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink on the right side. I colored the flower in using my Grapefruit Grove Stampin’ Write Marker. I then stamped the sentiment in Old Olive Ink on the bottom left of the panel. Using Snail I adhered the artwork panel to a Grapefruit Grove mat. I added 3 Grapefruit Grove pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearl pack. I attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope to complete my card. I stamped the flower image on the front of the envelope in Old Olive Ink. I then stamped the ink spot on each flower using Grapefruit Grove Ink, stamping off once.
