Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? It ended up being a beautiful weekend here. Did anyone do anything fun?
For today’s card I used one of the Sale-A-Bration bundle that you can earn with a $100 order. I wasn’t sure I was gong to like it, but once I started playing with it I love it. Here’s my card.
I played along with Fab Friday Color Challenge #182. Here are their colors.
I also joined in with Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #421. Here is their sketch.
I started by embossing a Coastal Cabana card front using the Stone 3D Embossing Folder. This folder is only available with the stamp set as a bundle FREE with a qualifying order of $100 from Sale-A-Bration. Using my Stamping Sponges I sponged Bermuda Bay Ink over the embossed panel to add some darker shading. I adhered the embossed panel to a Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up! Power Of Hope Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I cut the image out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Using the Layering Squares Dies, I cut the scallop square that fit the stitched square in Merry Merlot cardstock. I adhered the stitched square to the Merry Merlot scalloped square using Snail and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the same panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Power of Hope stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Layering Ovals Dies. I stamped the lantern image from the Power of Hope stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink, stamping off 3 times, over the sentiment. Using my Layering Ovals Dies, I cut the scallop oval that matched the sentiment oval out of Merry Merlot cardstock. I adhered the sentiment oval to the scallop oval using Snail and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dot to the sentiment.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Power of Hope stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the tree image from the Power of Hope stamp set over the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamping off 4 times. I stamped the bottom image from the Power of Hope stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored the image in using my Melon Mambo and Merry Merlot Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Bermuda Bay mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the images from the Power of Hope stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and colored the one image in using my Melon Mambo and Merry Merlot Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the lantern image from the Power of Hope stamp set across the envelope flap in Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo Ink stamping twice before reinking the stamp.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. Don’t forget, this Power of Hope Bundle is available as a Sale-A-Bration item FREE with a qualifying order of $100 or more. Happy Stamping!!
