Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Masculine Card

Posted on by
2

Good Monday morning my stamping friends and Happy Memorial Day!!! Please remember the reason we celebrate today. For all those that gave their lives for us, that never made it back home to their families.

Hard to believe another month gone. Is anyone going to or having a picnic today? I’ll be having a small picnic like I do every year. My daughter’s birthday falls near Memorial Day every year, so we always celebrate her birthday with a picnic. Hopefully all this rain we’ve been having will clear up to be an ok day. I think we’ve had all the rain we were suppose to have in April and May in these past 4 days. Today’s card is another one we will be making at our Stamp Camp card class tomorrow night. My design is from my team leader Amy Koenders. She made cards with this design, but different DSP a while back and I asked her if I could CASE it for my class. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Bundle for my card today along with the Well Suited Designer Series Paper. This DSP will be retiring at the end of June. If it’s paper that you like, get it before it’s gone. I think it’s the perfect masculine paper.

I started by cutting a panel of Well Suited DSP using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Pacific Point card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From another panel of the Well Suited DSP I cut the largest tag from the Tailored Tags Dies. I cut the small tag topper from a scrap of Pacific Point cardstock using the Tailored Tags Dies and adhered it to the top using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I threaded a piece of Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon through the top and looped it so it would hold. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the label die from the Beautiful Trees Dies. I cut another label out from a strip of Pacific Point cardstock. I adhered the Pacific Point label to the tag using Stampin’ Seal then the sentiment label above using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Well Suited DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I added a strip of the Well Suited DSP to the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope and a panel to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up Shaded Summer Birthday

Posted on by
8

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? Hope you all have a productive one. We dropped from the mid 90’s Sunday to 70 yesterday. There was actually a little chill in the air.

I’m a little obsessed, I’ll admit it. I can’t stop using the 2021-2023 In-Colors and the Scalloped Contour Dies. I can’t get enough of them. Here’s my card for today.

I used another new set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Cling Stamp Set.

I joined in with the Fab Friday Color Challenge #214.

I started by stamping the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the stamp using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent markers from the 2021-2023 In-Color Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut the image out using my Scalloped Contours Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Soft Succulent Ink.

I adhered a panel of the Evening Evergreen 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut 2 rectangles using my Stitched Rectangle Dies from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I adhered 2 panels of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to the Fresh Freesia mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a small bow I tied using the Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the artwork using a Glue Dot. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set on the bottom of the panel which I colored using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set which I colored using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulents Stampin’ Write Markers on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals 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! Turtle Friends for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? It’s been a beautiful warm week here. Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work between both jobs all weekend.

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’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends Bundle for my fun fold card along with the In The Wild Designer Series Paper.

I started by scoring and folding the Soft Succulent card base at 1/2″, 1 1/2″, 3″ & 4″. I adhered a panel of In The Wild DSP to the top section of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive to the 1/2″ fold. I folded the panel up on the 3″ fold line and folded the 1/2″ fold under and adhered it to the back of the card base.

I scored and folded the smaller panel of Soft Succulent cardstock at 1/2″ & 1 1/2″. I adhered a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive to the 1/2″ fold, I lined up the bottom of the panel with the card base, folded the card base flat and adhered the small panel to the larger panel. I adhered another panel of In The Wild DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I first cut the 2nd largest die from the Hippo & Friends Dies. I stamped the grass image from the Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set on the bottom of the die cut piece in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the streamers image from the Turtle Friends stamp set on the top of the die cut panel in Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink Ink. I stamped the large turtle image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the Basic White panel. I stamped the shell image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink, stamping off once, inside the turtle shell. I stamped the sentiment from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the shell image. I punched the turtle out using the Turtle Punch. I colored the turtles body using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the hat image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink and colored it in using my Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the hat using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the turtle using a Stampin’ Dimensionals to hold it from the back. I adhered the turtle to the die cut using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I die cut panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just on the bottom section. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels (which I forgot to add when I was live), to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the grass image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink along the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the 2 small turtle images from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored their bodies in using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the shell image in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the sentiments from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink towards the top of the panel. I stamped the streamer image in Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink Ink along the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal 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 grass image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the large turtle image in Evening Evergreen Ink and the shell image in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the birthday hat on the turtle in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I colored the image in using my Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of In The Wild 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. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkle, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. Here is my card using this weeks theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle for my card today along with the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper.

I started by stamping the sand image from the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink on the bottom of a panel of the Sand & Sea DSP and adhering it to a Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 small panels of the Sand & Sea DSP to Sahara Sand Mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 small matted panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This DSP will be retiring on June 30th when the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog retires.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a strip of Sahara Sand cardstock, off centering it, and adhered the matted sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sand image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the bottom corner of the panel. I stamped the seaweed images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on top of the sand. I colored some of the seaweed in using my Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. On another panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the starfish image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink and the seashell image in Blushing Bride Ink. I cut the images out using the Seaside Shells Dies and adhered them to the small panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sand image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the seaweed images in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the sand image and colored some of the seaweed in using my Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the seaweed images in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the sand image . I adhered a panel of the Sand & Sea DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Stitched Greenery Celebrate With Flowers

Posted on by
14

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? We had a gorgeous day here yesterday, but I believe they called for rain for today. I’ll be at work all day again.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Celebrate With Flowers Cling Stamp Set and the new Stitched Greenery Die. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #485.

I started by embossing a Just Jade card front using the Stitched Greenery Die.

I thought I’d show you a real closeup of the stitching. Isn’t this just gorgeous!!

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set on the edge of the strip in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink up the center of the strip. I colored the leaves in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the dragonfly image on the stirp in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Paper Snips.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Bumblebee Ink. I fussy cut the flowers using my Paper Snips. I stamped the flower centers in Tuxedo Black Ink by the leaf image. I adhered the Banner to the Stitched Greenery card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flowers to the leaf image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller leaf image from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored the leaves in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the dragonfly image on either side of the sentiment in Misty Moonlight Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small leaf image from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom front of the envelope and the envelope flap. I colored the leaves in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the dragonfly image around the leaves in Misty Moonlight Ink.

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

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Birthday

Posted on by
4

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope everyone has a productive week. Is everyone getting their shopping lists ready? ONE week before the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog goes live. I can’t wait to get lots of new products.

For today I decided to play with a bundle from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. It’s a pretty quick card too. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Bundle for my card along with the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.

I started by cutting the center of a Ice Cream Corner DSP card front using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I adhered the card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the ice cream cone from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the detail cone image in Cinnamon Cider Ink on top of the solid image and punched the cone out using my Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the ice cream scoop image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Petal Pink and Pool Party Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and punched them out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Early Espresso Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the Pool Party ice cream to the cone using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sprinkles from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the Petal Pink ice cream and adhered it on top of the Pool Party scoop using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the ice cream cone to the opening of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment across the bottom of the cone using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the ends.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Ice Cream Corner 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! Color and Contour Triple Time

Posted on by
2

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? With warmer weather coming hopefully everyone will start to be doing some fun things on the weekends.

I have a triple time card for you today using another new set and the new In-Colors from the new 2021-2020 Annual Catalog. I’ve been using the dies a lot that go with this bundle, now I thought I’d use the stamp set. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set for my triple time stamp card. I used 4 of the 5 new 2021-2023 In-Colors for my stamping today.

I started by adhering the 3 Basic White panels together with the tiniest amount of Stampin’ Seal so that i could easily take them apart after stamping on them.

I first stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the smallest panel. I stamped the outline flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Inks randomly around the panels. I then stamped the outline leaf image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flowers. I took the panels apart and adhered the smallest and middle panels to Soft Succulent mats using Stampin’ Seal. I then adhered the matted panels together, making sure to match up the stamped images, using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon around the stamped and matted panels and tied a small bow. I adhered the layers to a Soft Succulent card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the outlined flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set on the panel in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Inks and the leaf image in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I randomly stamped the outlined flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flower images.

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

Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Touches Black and White

Posted on by
6

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope you have a fun weekend planned. I’ll be at work both days this weekend.

Today’s card is another one that we made at my class last week. Everyone’s card came out a little different. Here’s my card for today.

We used the Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Touches Cling Stamp Set for our card along with some of the retiring True Love Designer Series Paper.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the True Love DSP to the side using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the flower, sentiment and feather images from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the images out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I adhered the rectangles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Tasteful Touches stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the True Love 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! Party Puffins Pop-Up for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend?

Before I get started I just wanted to remind you that my 2021-2022 Annual Catalogs have arrived. If you are a customer of mine, I have sent one out to you and you should be receiving it very soon. If you’d like a copy of the catalog, send me a note at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I will get one in the mail to you. Also, I am offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. If you are interested or want to know what a product share is, click HERE.

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’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Party Puffins Cling Stamp Set from the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog along with the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.

I started by placing a panel of Ice Cream Corner DSP on the front of a Blackberry Bliss card base lining up the bottom and sides with a slight border, and cutting it using my Basic Border Dies. I adhered the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped one of the puffin images from the Party Puffins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White circle I cut using my Layering Circle Dies and colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Party Puffins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

I adhered a panel of Ice Cream Corner DSP to the bottom inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment on a panel of Basic White cardstock and adhered it above the DSP panel using Stampin’ Seal.

I took a small panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and scored it at 1″, 2″ & 3″. I folded on the score lines. I folded the panel in half and adhered Stampin’ Seal to the edge of the folded panel and adhered it to the top center of the Basic White panel. Keeping the panel folded in half, I added some Stampin’ Seal to the top edge of the small panel and folded the top of the card base down on it to make my little pop-up. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the puffin, birthday cake and fish images from the Party Puffins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the images and adhered them to the pop-up using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped one of the puffins from the Party Puffins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Ice Cream Corner 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. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Products I used for my card today will be available on May 4th. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Touches CAS

Posted on by
8

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and heading towards the weekend.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concept. For the next 2 weeks we have a Loads of Lavender challenge. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Touches Cling Stamp Set . I was inspired by the colors in the photo along with the gingham bow (even though mine isn’t black) for my clean and layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join us this week to play along with our challenge #153. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to a Gray Granite card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the pitcher image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Home Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. If this is a set that you like, it will be retiring as of May 3rd. I colored the image in using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leafy image from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink above the pitcher and colored the leaves in using my Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I cut the image out using my Scalloped Contours Dies. These are my absolute new favorite dies in case you can’t tell. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the gingham ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it to the pitcher using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leafy image from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the corners of the panel and colored the leaves in using my Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leafy image from the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the envelope front and colored the leaves in using my Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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!!
