Stampin’ Up! Hippest Hippos Fun Fold with Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Has anyone made any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and Sunday again.

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. 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 is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Hippest Hippos 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Hippest Hippos Cling Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Hippo Dies, Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Bundle and the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Solid lines are score lines, dashed lines are cut lines

I started by scoring a Petal Pink card base at 1″, 2″, 3″, 5 1/4″, 6 1/4″ & 7 1/4″ along the 8 1/4″ side. I turned the panel so the 5 1/2″ side was along the edge of my trimmer and set the 8 1/4″ edge at the 1″ mark. I cut from the 1″ score line to the 3″ score line and then from the 5 1/4″ score line to the 7 1/4″ score line. I moved the card base to the 2″ line on my trimmer and repeated the cuts. I turned the cardstock around so the other 8 1/4″ edge was at the 1″ mark on my trimmer and cut the same on that side at the 1′ & 2″ marks. I folded the card base as above with the mountain and valley folds.

I adhered the Subtle DSP panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Pool Party cardstock using the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies and embossed it using the Into The Clouds Embossing Folder. From a panel of Rose Gold Specialty Paper I cut the bucket die from the Hippo Dies. I cut the top of the umbrella and hat die from the Hippo Dies from scraps of the Soft Sea Foam Subtle DSP.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the ballerina hippo image from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo, Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Hippo Dies. I also cut out the umbrella die from the panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the umbrella top to the Basic White umbrella using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a scrap of Petal Pink Subtle DSP, I stamped the tutu part of the hippo image and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the tutu to the hippo image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the hippo to the Pool Party panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bucket below the hippo using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the hat to the hippo using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I adhered the Pool Party panel to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the umbrella to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the background image from the Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I stamped the letters and #1 from the Alphabest stamp set on the background images in Gray Granite Ink. I punched the letters out using the Best Label Punch. I adhered the letters to the side panel of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the #1 to the hippos hand using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins to the card front.

On the back of the card base, I adhered the panels of Subtle DSP to the sides and top of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Hippest Hippos on the top of the panel in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nuts About Squirrels Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink below the 1st sentiment. I stamped the hippo image from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo, Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the back of the card base. I added a few more of the Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins to the card back.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the ballerina hippo image from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings CAS Thinking of You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well. I’ll be at the dog bakery all day today, hopefully getting to give visiting puppies treats.

For today’s card I did the Baby Wipe Technique. For me, fall cards are perfect for this technique. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by taking a baby wipe and folding it in half and placing it in one of my stamp cases. I added drops of Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sorbet Ink Refills, making sure to fill in most of the open spaces. The ink drops will run into each other once you press you stamp into it.

I stamped the leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set on the top of a Basic White card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Soft Seedlings stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink.

I adhered the Basic White card front to a Pumpkin Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small bow using the Black Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the leaf stem using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I reinked the leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set using the same inked baby wipe and stamped the leaf image on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set using the same inked baby wipe that I used for the card. you can see that you can stamp over and over and get different images each time.

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

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. 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 is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set and the Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper.

I started by scoring and folding the Fresh Freesia card base as listed below. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Night of Navy mat. I adhered the layered panels to the Fresh Freesia card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the coordinating die from the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

I adhered 2 more panels of the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inside of the card base. I scored & folded 3 strips of Night of Navy cardstock. I adhered the 6 square panels of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inner 2 sections of the strips using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the strips to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the 2 outside sections of the Night of Navy strips lining the center fold up with the fold line of the card base. I fussy cut multiple butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP using my Paper Snips. I adhered the butterflies to the inside of the card base using Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the top of a Basic White Panel. I stamped the tall floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the floral image. I adhered 2 of the fussy cut butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Birthday

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun?

A while back my neighbor asked me to make invitations for her husband’s 80th birthday party. I finally got around to making a sample to see if she liked it, but the sample is the birthday card that I’m going to give him. The invitations do not have ribbon or embellishments on them. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Bundle along with the He’s The Man Designer Series Paper and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

I started by embossing a Sahara Sand card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Sahara Sand card bae using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 panels of He’s The Man DSP to Early Espresso mats. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the longer layered panel using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim around the layered panels and tied a knot. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the image out using the All That Dies. I sponged Sahara Sand Ink around the edges of the die cut image using a Sponge Dauber. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating you Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man 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 and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Panel Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works for the weekend.

Today’s card we made at our last Stamping Studio Meeting. After we’re done with the business part of the meeting, we do some Mystery Stamping. My upline Jaimie gives us very vague information, the measurements of the paper we need. She talks us through the process, and we put the card together. The cards all come out differently, but the same. Here’s my card from Mystery Stamping.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I joined in with The Male Room Monochrome Challenge #164.

I started by embossing a Night of Navy card front using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On 3 panels of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the fern image from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy Ink randomly on the panels. I adhered the Basic White panels to Smoky Slate mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Night of Navy cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Print stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Glue Dots. I tied a small bow using the Simply Elegant Trim and adhered it by the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the fern image from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the sides of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fern image from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Sun Prints 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Tropical Hideaway

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend.

Today’s card is one that we made last night at our Stamp Camp Card Class. I like to show the ladies some easy techniques when I can, and I’ve always liked the masking technique. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Hideaway Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Palms Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle for my card today.

I started by using the Chic Dies and cutting a panel of Masking Paper. I adhered the die cut Masking Paper to the center of a Basic White card front. I stamped the Tropical Hideaway stamp on the top using Soft Sea Foam Ink and the bottom using Pool Party Ink. I placed the card front, with mask side down to the stamp, on top of the stamp. I placed a piece of scrap paper on top of the stamp & card front and rubbed it using my hand making sure to press to get a good, stamped image. I carefully removed the paper from the stamp making sure to lift it straight up, so it didn’t smear.

Using my Blending Brush, I added some Petal Pink Ink over the die cut mask before removing it. Once I had coverage the way I wanted, I carefully removed the Masking Paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the card front in the masked area. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Tropical Hideaway image on a Basic White panel after stamping off once on scrap paper. It’s a very light image. I stamped the sentiment from Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. I stamped the seashell image from Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the bottom of the panel, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish 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 the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Splendid Day 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea Birthday

Good Monday morning my stamping friends and Happy Independence Day!!! Does anyone have any fun plans for today? It’s going to be a quiet day here. Maybe a little gardening, maybe some card making and just a little BBQ for my husband, daughter and me.

I have a quick card today that I’m thinking about using for my Stamp Camp Card Class tomorrow night. I haven’t decided yet what we are going to make. I guess I should get on that. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cup Of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Cling Stamp Set and Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I played along with the Colorful Options July Challenge Red, White and Blue.

I started by adhering a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Starry Sky card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the striped teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on top of the cup. I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered the embossed panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine and adhered it to the teacup handle using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on top of the cup. I adhered a strip of the Tea Boutique DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat and then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on top of the cup. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Birthday Sneak Peek

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans? I’ll be at work all day today, but they gave me off tomorrow so I can stay home with my fur baby. She still can’t stay alone since we have to keep her off the stairs.

Today’s card is another one that we made last Saturday night at our Creativity Now Event. Today and tomorrow’s cards actually go together, you’ll see why tomorrow. They are both outside of my comfort zone, but it’s ok to do that and try new things. I’m actually happy with how they turned out. I did tweak the cards a little from how they designed them. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle along with the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by randomly stamping the large leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink on a Petal Pink card front. I embossed the panel using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut 4 panels of the Splendid Day DSP using the 1/2 moon shape die from the Splendid Stems Dies. Using my Paper Snips, I distressed the edge of a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the 4 die cut pieces to the Basic White panel unevenly leaving a space for the sentiment. I wrapped a piece of the Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel and tied a knot. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Open Leaf Trinket to the card front using a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the large leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set around the panel in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. The Bundle and DSP used for today’s card will be available starting Friday July 1st. If you don’t have a demonstrator and would like a copy of the Annual and Mini Catalog, please contact me and I’ll get one out to you right away. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts CAS Blended

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. Is anyone planning anything special for Father’s Day?

Today’s card is another one that we made on Sunday at our in-person team meeting. This card was designed by one of my team member Tara who lives in Missouri. I fell in love with this design the second I saw it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle for my card today.

I started by putting 2 strips of Post-It Tape on a panel of Shimmery White cardstock leaving about 1 3/4″ opening between them. Starting with Pale Papaya Ink, using my Blending Brush, I added color to the top section of the panel. I then added Soft Succulent Ink using my Blending Brush in the center section. Last I used Orchid Oasis Ink on the bottom section with my Blending Brush.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Shimmer White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the leaf die using my Splendid Stems Dies from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock. I adhered the leaf die to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen bakers’ twine, from the Fan Bakers Twine pack (retiring June 30), around the layered panel 3 times and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Shimmery White panel. I stamped the large leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Shimmery White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked this card as much as I did. The products used will be available starting July 1 from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

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.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Hit Previous to hop back to Carol’s blog or hit Next to head over to Mary’s blog. You can also click on each of the names and hop around that way. I hope you enjoy seeing everyone’s projects.
