Stampin’ Up! Zany Zebras Baby Card

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and heading towards the weekend. How is your week going?

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zebras Cling Stamp Set for my card today. I was inspired by the colors in the photo and the zebra rug under the ottoman.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join use this week to play along with our challenge #149. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of Playing With Patterns 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a panel of Petal Pink using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Coastal Cabana ribbon from the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack around the card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using the Banner Triple Punch and adhered it to the top of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On another panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the adorable zebra image from the Zany Zebras stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut the image out using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I colored the zebras ear, nose and mouth using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the image to the card front overlapping the Petal Pink panel and the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Coastal Cabana Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the zebra image from the Zany Zebras stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the inside of the ears, nose and mouth with my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the zebra image from the Zany Zebras stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored the ear, nose and mouth using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Playing With Patterns 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! Soar Confidently CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends and Happy Valentine’s Day. Hope you will be spending the day doing something you enjoy. I’ll be at working being visited by all the little furry friends and their owners getting them Valentines.

Once again I have something a little different for you today. I thought I would show you how to step up a card from a Beginner Stamper to a Casual Stamper and finally an Avid Stamper. I used the Stampin’ Up! Soar Confidently Cling Stamp Set for all my cards. Here are my cards.

I played along with the Cardz For Guys CAS Clean and Simple Challenge #264.

My first card is for the Beginner Stamper just using Stamp, Ink and Paper. I stamped the hot air balloon image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock off centered towards the top of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! By The Dock Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel in Early Espresso Ink. I adhered the card front to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World Cling Stamp Set in the center of a Very Vanilla panel in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the hot air balloon image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the hot air balloon image from the Soar Confidently on the front of a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope in Early Espresso Ink and adhered a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

For my Casual Stamper you might want to add just a little something extra, but not too much. I stamped the airplane image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink towards the top of a Very Vanilla card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Soar Confidently stamp set on the bottom of the card front in Early Espresso Ink. I embossed the panel using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to an Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the airplane image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.

For my Avid Stamper I added more layers and embellishments. An Avid Stamper may want to add punches, die cuts, multiple layers and maybe even make a collage card. I did what I would call a basic Avid Card. I stamped the blimp image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink towards the top of a Very Vanilla card front off centered. I stamped the sentiment from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink off centered towards the bottom of the card front in Early Espresso Ink. I embossed the card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to an Early Espresso mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I weaved one of the slides from the Antique Corners & Slides Elements on a piece of Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim and wrapped it around the matted panel, adhering it in the back with some Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted card front to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple of the corners from the Antique Corners & Slides Elements to the top of the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the blimp image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The envelopes for the Casual and Avid Stampers were done the same as the Beginner Stamper except using the airplane and blimp images.

I consider myself an Avid Stamper, but sometimes can pull off a Beginner & Casual Stamper cards. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my cards and I was able to explain the different stampers to you. What kind of stamper are you? Enjoy your day. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Inspiration

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through and on the downhill to the weekend.

Today’s card was a sketch/color challenge from my Upline Jaimie Babarczy. She’s given us a sketch and colors to work with each week for the past month. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Bundle for my card along with the Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. Here is our sketch and colors for the week.

I started by embossing the bottom of a Mossy Meadow card front using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP to the top of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Blushing Bride Bakers Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack around the card front and tied a bow.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink twice. One of the dragonflies I stamped the wing fill image in Blushing Bride Ink, stamping off once. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the wings. The other dragonfly image I decided to color the wings using the Clear Wink of Stella and Blushing Bride Ink that I put on a Clear Block. Can you tell which is which??? I punched the dragonflies out using the Dragonflies Punch and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Clear Epoxy Droplets to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set on 2 corners of a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the dragonflies in using my Clear Wink of Stella and Blushing Bride Ink on a Clear Block. I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set twice in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them in using my Clear Wink of Stella and Blushing Bride Ink. I adhered a panel of Dandy Garden DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!!

The theme this month is “Birthday”.  We can interpret this however we want.  I used the Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom Cling Stamp Set for my card along with some Sale-a-bration DSP. Here’s my card.

My sketch is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #250

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set on the bottom of a Sahara Sand card front in Night of Navy Ink. I embossed the card front using my Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 3 panels of the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration item), to 3 Rococo Rose mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3 matted panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a piece of Rococo Rose 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon to a thin strip of Night of Navy cardstock using Stampin’ Seal and then to the bottom of the matted DSP panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once, above and below the sentiment . I adhered the Basic White panel to a Rococo Rose mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Paper Blooms DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lots Of Heart Valentine

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s weekend started off? Is anyone doing anything fun? I have work all day today, but I’m off tomorrow, YAY!!! We’re expecting it to be a really busy day at the store due to more snow coming tomorrow. 2 1/2 feet wasn’t enough for us to get this week and of course nobody has shovels or salt, so they will be in. Will anyone be watching the Super Bowl? My husband will have it on, but his team isn’t playing so it’ll probably be more background noise. He’s a huge Pittsburg Steelers fan, me I’m not a big football fan at all. Growing up my father liked all sports, but never was a fan of specific teams. He just liked to watch the games.

I have another quick and easy Valentine card for you today using one of the new sets from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lots Of Heart Bundle for my card today. This is a sketch from my Upline Jaimie along with colors she gave us to work with.

I started by embossing a Real Red card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On 3 strips of Pool Party cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lots Of Heart Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I used washi tape to cover the words I wasn’t stamping on each strip. I adhered the strips on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue so that I had a little wiggle room to get them lined up.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the row of hearts image from the Lots Of Heart stamp set in Real Red Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Banners Pick A Punch. I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Resin Hearts to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Lots Of Heart stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Lots Of Heart stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment and colored them in using my Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut a heart out under the sentiment using the Many Hearts Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from Lots Of Heart stamp set on the envelope front and flap. I colored the flowers in using my Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance For Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? We’re upon a weekend already. This week just flew by for me. I guess with the snow Monday and Tuesday and working yesterday and today, it’s just gone.

Sorry I missed doing a Facebook live on Wednesday. I had a tooth ache so I went to the dentist (where you would normally go for that). 3 hours later I was still there, UGH!! Unfortunately I have to go for a root canal this morning and then to work from there. Fun times. So I changed my fun fold for today for a simple one using some NEW product that I received yesterday YAY!!! The gorgeous new Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Collection. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from Fab Friday Color Challenge #206.

I started by adhering a panel of the new Butterfly Bijou 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Basic Black Mat using Stampin’ Seal. I scored and folded a Blushing Bride card base at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″. I folded the card in half and then folded the front panel back and adhered it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. This stamp set is one large background stamp that when you use the dies cuts it into 6 butterflies. I cut the butterflies out using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I colored the largest butterfly in using my Water Painters filled with alcohol and Bumblebee Ink on a clear block.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the branch and floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Water Painter filled with alcohol and Blushing Bride Ink on a clear block and my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, only on half of the panel. I adhered the butterfly to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Butterfly Bijou 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 Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside back of the Blushing Bride card base. I colored the other butterflies using the Water Painters filled with alcohol and Blushing Bride and Bumblebee Inks on clear blocks and my Ivory Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered the butterflies to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Butterfly Bijou 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! Sweet Berry Blessings

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. It started snowing here on Sunday afternoon, continued through all day Monday leaving us with over 2 feet of snow on the ground. It snowed on and off all day yesterday and it’s still snowing this morning. I guess this is making up for us not getting any snow at all last year. My oldest and his girlfriend built an igloo in our backyard that they were sitting in last night and my backyard still has 2′ covering it.

It’s time for another Inspiration Challenge from The Card ConceptFor the next 2 weeks we have a Sweetheart Sweet challenge. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Berry Blessings Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card. I was inspired by the delicious looking chocolate cupcakes with the sweet raspberries on top from the inspiration photo. I just love Early Espresso and Flirty Flamingo together.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join use this week to play along with our challenge #148. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by embossing an Early Espresso card front using the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Using the Berry Blessings stamp set, on a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the outline leaf image and the outline stem image in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the fill leaf image and the fill stem image in Granny Apple Green Ink over the outline images. I stamped the outline raspberry image in Poppy Parade Ink and the raspberry fill image in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once over the outline image. I cut the image out using my Layering Squares Dies. I cut a scalloped square mat using the Layering Square Dies from a panel of Flirty Flamingo Ink. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front under the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few white Resin Heart Embellishments to the card front.

Using the Berry Blessing stamp set on a Basic White panel, I stamped the outline leaf image and the outline stem images in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the leaf and stem fill images in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamping off once over the outline images. I stamped the outline raspberry image in Poppy Parade Ink stamping off once. I stamped the raspberry fill image in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off twice, over the outline image. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Early Espresso Ink over the berries in the center of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and raspberry image from the Berry Blessings stamp set on the front of the envelope the same as I did on the card front. I adhered a panel of the Berry Delightful 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! CAS Sweet Ice Cream Thank You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I have to go into work today, but only for a couple hours to close out the end of the month. Hard to believe that January is gone already.

For today’s card I made another clean and simple card using the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

My colors and design are from my Upline, Jaimie Babarczy. These were the colors and sketch she gave us to work from this week. I have to admit, I did have a little trouble putting the colors and sketch together. I had to think outside the box a bit.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set first in Pool Party Ink, then Real Red Ink and last in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White card front. I used my Stamparatus to like everything up perfectly.

I embossed the panel using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered it to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a thin strip of Basic White cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and cut it into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the banner to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I colored 2 of the Pearl Basic Jewels using my Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the 2 colored pearls and a Matte Black Dot next to the coordinating color stamped sentiments.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Pool Party and Real Red Ink next to the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set on the envelope front and 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! Hot Dog Bone-Jour

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. We made it halfway through the week already and we’re on our way to the weekend. Hope you are all having a productive week.

I played with another new set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog for today’s card. We have a new neighbor moving onto our block and she just happens to have a dachshund. I’m also really hoping she likes crafting, specifically making cards. I used the Stampin’ Up! Hot Dog Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card. Here’s my card that I had so much fun creating.

My design is from Fab Friday Challenge #205.

I started by embossing a Cinnamon Cider card front using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the card front using Stampin Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sitting dachshund from the Hot Dog stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Cinnamon Cider and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Hot Dog stamp set on the top of the panel in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I used the new Stitched With Whimsy Dies to get the stitching around the panel.

On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the butterfly fill image in Bumblebee Ink. I punched the butterfly out using the Butterfly Duet Punch and adhered it to the Basic White panel using a Glue Dot. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front.

I had just as much fun creating the inside as I did the outside. I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Cling Stamp Set towards the top of a Basic White panel. On the bottom I stamped the 2 dachshunds from the Hot Dog stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them in using my Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment bubbles from the Hot Dog stamp set by each dog in Just Jade Ink. I used the Stitched With Whimsy Dies again to add the stitching around the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sitting dachshund from the Hot Dog stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Cinnamon Cider and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the 2020 -2022 In-Color 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! CAS Quite Curvy Hello

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week started off? It’s gotten a bit cold here and they are calling for snow a couple times this week, YAY!!! I don’t want that little stuff though, I want a storm that I have to stay home and craft all day.

Today is my last card as a guest designer for the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge. I’ve had a lot of fun this month designing with them. I used the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Bundle for my card today along with some FREE Sale-A-Bration DSP. Here’s my card for today.

Here is the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #404.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White card front. To make sure I had it in the right place, I cut a panel of Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (FREE Sale-A-Bration item), using the Curvy Dies and set it down on the card front. I embossed the Basic White panel using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the cut panel of DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to a So Saffron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Flower & Field Designer Series Paper is a pack of 12 X 12 DSP that is free with a qualifying order of $50.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bird from the Quite Curvy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Crumb Cake and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the bird out using the Curvy Dies and adhered it to the card front using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Quite Curvy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Quite Curvy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink below the sentiment and colored it in using my Cherry Cobbler, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the So Saffron card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Quite Curvy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Cherry Cobbler, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Flower & Field 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!!
