Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger Bundle along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our theme for this week

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. Using the Bistro Burger Dies, I cut the flames from a panel of Crushed Curry, wood board and knife handle from a panel of Country Woods DSP, peppers from panels of Basic Beige, Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Pretty Peacock and the knife from Silver Foil. I stamped the burger image from the Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the fries’ image from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the same panel. I colored the images using SU100, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Bistro Burger Dies. Using a Sponge Dauber, I added Pumpkin Pie Ink to the tops of the flame die cuts.

I adhered the flame to the back of the wood board using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I inserted the knife into the slit on the top of the bun and adhered the burger, fries’ and peppers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the Basic White panel. I cut the sentiment apart and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the fries’ image from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the binder end of the card base together on the inside using Liquid Glue.

I tore the top of the panel and adhered it below the water image on the Basic Whtie panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Karen’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Bundle along with the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

These are our colors for this week

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Mediterranean Blooms DSP card front to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Garden Green card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue Ink to a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink on the bottom of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Night of Navy mat using Liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the single orange image from the Citrus Bloms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Citrus Blooms Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow with Linen Thread and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a few Opal Rounds Assortment.

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower images by the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of Mediterranean Blooms DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Mediterranean Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   6C44QBJA

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

*********************************************************************************************************

Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony Cling Stamp Set along with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to a Pretty In Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large and medium peony images from the Poised Peony stamp set. I inked the stamps using the Pretty In Pink and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Write Markers by coloring the stamps and huffing on them to reactivate the ink before stamping. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shy Shamrock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the splatter image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered the layered panel to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on a strip of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Peach Pie behind the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small peony image from the Poised Peony stamp set next to the sentiment, inking it up with Pretty In Pink and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shy Shamrock mat then to the inside of the Pretty In Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium peony image from the Poised Peony stamp set on the envelope front, inking it up the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Under The Moon Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! beach Day Photopolymer Stamp Set and Perennial Postage Dies for my card today.

This is our theme for this week

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the water image from Under the Moon stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the setting sun image from Under the Moon stamp set on top of the water. I inked the stamp with Lemon Lolly Ink then I added Calypso Coral Ink to the bottom half using a Sponge Dauber. I stamped the sailboat image in Night of Navy Ink.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from Beach Day stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the top of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the cloud image from Under the Moon stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink under the sentiment, stamping off on scrap paper once. I added an Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gem to the card front. I cut a panel of Basic White using the largest Perennial Postage Die. I adhered the artwork to the die cut mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to a Night of Navy card base using Liquid Glue.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Friendly Fins 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 beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For The Men/Boys”. We can interpret this however we want. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Fins Bundle along with the Stylish Shapes Dies and So Swirly Embossing Folder for my card.

My colors are from Colours & Sketches Challenge #536

My design is from TGIF Sketch Challenge #472

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pool Party card front using the So Swirly EF. I wrapped a piece of Pebbled Path Jute Trim from the 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim, around the card front and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 3 squares from a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Unfortunately, this DSP is no longer available, and I didn’t realize it until after my card was done. There is a pattern in the Winter Meadow DSP that would work perfectly. I adhered the squares to the card front using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the dolphin, stingray, fish and rock outlined images from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Fins Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the solid dolphin image from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper first then over the outlined image. I stamped the stingray and rock, solid images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 1 time first, over the outlined images. I stamped the solid fish image in Pool Party Ink, stamping off 1 time on scrap paper first, over the outlined image. I stamped the 2 sentiments from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the Basic Whtie panel. I cut all the images out using the Friendly Fins Dies. I cut the one sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and fussy cut the other using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the rocks using Glue Dots and all the other images and sentiments using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the dolphin and stingray outlined images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the solid dolphin and stingray images from the Friendly Fins stamp set over the outlined images stamping the dolphin off 2 times and the stingray off 1 time on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the outlined stingray and rock images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the solid stingray and rock images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered a panel of DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Cling Stamp Set along with the Stylish Shapes Dies and Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Mediterranean Blooms DSP to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the single orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a panel of Garden Green using the largest banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the banner in half using Paper Snips. On the top of the banner, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the 2 banner pieces to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimemsionals. I added a few Opal Rounds Assortment.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower images from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the images using Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Mediterranean Blooms DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Mediterranean Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how i made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky Cling Stamp Set along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper and Deckled Circles Dies for my card today. I let the DSP do most of the work for me today.

These are our colors for this week

My design is from Sunday Stamps Front & Center Challenge #334

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Copper Clay into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the banner to a panel of Night of Navy using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the Night of Navy panel on an angle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the smallest plane image from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 2 times, then stamping over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd from the smallest Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium plane from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, then over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Take to the Sky DSP on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium plane image from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the envelope flap.

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me!

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 1 creativestampungdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! adventurous Sky Cling Stamp Set along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both of these items will be available starting next Wednesday May 1st.

Here is our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 2 creativestampungdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel Take to the Sky DSP to a Copper Clay mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 3 creativestampungdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Take to The Sky DSP to Boho Blue mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 4 creativestampungdesigns.com

On a panel of Boho Blue, I stamped the smallest airplane and sentiment from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment between the other 2 panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots (retiring April 30th) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 5 creativestampungdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the largest cloud image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I stamped the cloud image again on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 6 creativestampungdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large cloud image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the smallest plane image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper clay ink above the clouds. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the envelope flap.
