Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How had your week started? Is anyone expecting snow today and tomorrow. I think the storm is going to miss us again.
For today’s card I used the new Stampin’ Up Humming Along Stamp Set and some of the beautiful new Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper. Take a look.
I started with a Mossy Meadow card front and adhered a piece of Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper to it using Snail. I then took a strip of Petal Pink cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I adhered the Petal Pink strip on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I cut a piece of the gorgeous Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a panel of Whisper White cardstock using a tiny bit of Snail just in the corners. I did this because the piece I picked was Vellum and sometimes adhesive shows through it. I then adhered the mounted DSP to a Mossy Meadow mat using Snail and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the Hibiscus image from the Stampin’ Up Humming Along Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image in using my Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the hibiscus out using the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies with my Big Shot. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a small bow made from the Silver and Petal Pink Bakers Twine and added it to the flower stem with a Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the hibiscus image from the Humming Along stamp set in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once, to a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set over the hibiscus in Fresh Fig Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Snail then adhered it to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the hibiscus from the Humming Along stamp set in Fresh Fig Ink on the envelope front. I colored the hibiscus in the same way I did for the card front. I adhered a piece of Tranquil Textures DSP to the envelope flap.

I started with a piece of Vellum cardstock and stamped the Well from the Bright Wishes stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. I colored the image in with my Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I did the coloring on the back of the Vellum, not on the embossed side. Using my Big Shot, I cut the image out with my Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. I also cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock the same size as the rectangle to adhere under the Vellum image.
I cut a rectangle frame out in Old Olive cardstock using the same size framelit that I cut the Vellum image. I adhered the Vellum image to the Very Vanilla cardstock using small spots of Snail so that you wouldn’t see it. I adhered the Very Vanilla artwork and the Old Olive frame to a Night of Navy card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I wrapped a piece of Old Olive Linen Thread around the card front. I made a bow separately and adhered it to the card front on the Linen Thread with a Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I stamped the Well image from the Bright Wishes stamp set on the front of the envelope and colored it in the same as I did for the card front. It came out a little darker since I colored the card front on the backside of the Vellum.
The other challenge I joined in with is Colour and Sketches #305. Stop by to see what everyone has made at 
I’ve made a very clean and simple card today for the 2 challenges. I don’t usually do simple, but every once in a while I like to add one in. Take a look.
I started by cutting 2 mats in Balmy Blue cardstock. On the larger mat I adhered a piece of Subtles 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper in Balmy Blue using Snail. I adhered the matted DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I adhered the stamped panel to the smaller Balmy Blue mat using Snail. I then adhered it to the Night of Navy card base, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, over lapping the matted DSP panel.
On the inside I stamped the larger snowflake from the Colorful Seasons stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once, across a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Night of Navy Ink over the snowflakes. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I started with a Balmy Blue card front and stamped the sand/shells in Sahara Sand Ink and the bubbles In Balmy Blue Ink from the Stampin’ Up Magical Mermaid stamp set on it. I then took a panel of Soft Sea Foam and stamped the seaweed multiple times, using my Stamparatus, across it. I colored some of the seaweed in with my Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Write Marker. I then ran it through my Big Shot using the Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue I adhered the Soft Sea Foam panel to the card front.
On a piece of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the mermaid from the Magical Mermaid stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the mermaid in using my Light Calypso Coral, Light Highland Heather, Ivory, Light Mint Macaron, Light Pool Party and Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. The Shimmery White paper gave the mermaid a really pretty shimmer after it was colored. I fussy cut the mermaid and adhered her to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I started with a Petal Pink card front and using my Big Shot I embossed it with my Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I then cut out the largest flourish from the Flourish Thinlits Dies in Soft Sea Foam cardstock 2 times. I adhered the one flourish on top of the second to make it a little thicker. I sponged the die cut with my Soft Sea Foam Ink then adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added some Wink Of Stella to the flowers on the die cut.
On a small strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Accented Blooms stamp set in So Saffron Ink.

I adhered the card front to a Pineapple Punch card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the cupcake from the Hello Cupcake stamp set the same as I did for the artwork, but I stamped off twice to get a light image on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Night of Navy Ink over the top of the cupcake. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Snail then adhered it to the Pineapple Punch card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I started with a Tranquil Tide card front and adhered a panel of Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper to it using Snail. I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the bottom section of the card front. I then adhered the card front to a Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. If you really like the Tranquil Tide, now is the time to grab it. It will be going away in June, so it would be best to get it now before it hits the retiring list. It’s such a beautiful rich teal color. I’m surely going to miss it.
Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Stampin’ Up One For All stamp set in Tranquil Tide Ink. By using the Stamparatus if the image wasn’t dark enough I was able to re-stamp it perfectly. I then stamped the streamer and the birthday hat from the Stampin’ Up Around The Corner stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I adhered the artwork to a Tranquil Tide Mat using Snail then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in the center of a Very Vanilla panel then adhered it to the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals lining it up with the DSP on the card front. I cut a couple small and large leaves out using my Big Shot and the Nature’s Roots Framelits Dies in Tranquil Tide cardstock. I adhered them to the top of the banner by the bow using Snail and Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small piece of Sahara Sand cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Rooted In Nature stamp set in Tranquil Tide Ink.

I then adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I started with a Lemon Lime Twist card front and adhered a strip of the Gingham Gala 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper on the bottom portion. I wrapped a piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/4″ Organdy Ribbon (free Sale-A-Bration item with $50 purchase) around the bottom and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black mat using Snail.

I adhered the artwork to the top portion of the Lemon Lime Twist card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the card front to a Grapefruit Grove card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The inside of the card is where I used the masking technique. I stamped the 1st fruit slice from the Lemon Zest stamp set in Pineapple Punch Ink in the top left corner. I covered the image with a cut out Post-It note and stamped the Grapefruit Grove and Lemon Lime Twist images. I then covered the Lemon Lime Twist image and stamped the Mango Melody image. I stamped the sentiments from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the Whisper White panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Snail then to the Grapefruit Grove card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I started with Thick Very Vanilla card base and adhered a panel of Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper to the front using Snail. I took a small piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the triple dandelion image and the flying dandelion pieces image from the Stampin’ Up Dandelion Wishes stamp set in Pacific Point Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.
