Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Warmth for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Welcome to the long weekend. Does anyone have any plans? I believe I will be working both days, I’m not sure since I couldn’t go into the dog bakery yesterday. Unfortunately our town was under water from Ida and the businesses in town were closed. There was a lot of damage around our town, flooding, abandon cars, fires etc. Luckily I didn’t get any damage inside my house, but out property was flooded. If all goes as planned, I’ll be heading to the sunflower maze first thing this morning. From what we heard, where we’re going, they weren’t harmed by Ida, just the rain. I’ll share some pictures if we do get there.

I wasn’t able to go live on Wednesday because of my work schedule. I plan on being live again next Wednesday though. I made a Gift Card holder for today’s fun fold card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Warmth Cling Stamp Set along with the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper for my card today. This is one of the FREE DSP’s from the August-September Sale-a-bration catalog with a qualifying order.

I started by scoring and folding a panel of Peaceful Prints DSP at 4″ & 8″. I cut the left side of the panel from the top of the 4″ score line to the bottom left corner using my Paper Trimmer. I used a tiny bead of Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the bottom and adhered it to the center of the folded panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Warmth stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the layered panel to the front of the DSP panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock on an angle and embossed it using my Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the inside left of the DSP using a thin bead of Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the bottom and right side of the triangle. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Warmth stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Tailored made Tags Dies. I threaded a piece of Black Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack through the top of the tag. I adhered the DSP to a Cherry Cobbler base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my gift card holder I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Peaceful Prints 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 fun fold and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How are you all doing today? Hope your week has started out to be a productive one. I normally have Tuesday’s off, but today is the last day of the month so that means I have to go in. First I have to take my son for a follow up appointment for his broken leg. Fingers crossed that he can come off his crutches that he’s been on since June 10th. It’s been a long summer of transporting him around and it’s still going to be a while before he can drive.

I have a card class coming up next week, so I have to start designing cards for it. That’s the hardest part of having classes, coming up with new ideas. Luckily demonstrators have some resources to find new ideas. Here’s my card for today that we’ll be making next Tuesday night.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Bundle for my card today.

I started by adhering a Petal Pink card front to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I colored a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Mossy Meadow and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers in the center of the panel. Using my Meadow Dies, I cut the leafy die out of the colored section of the panel.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock I stamped the splotch image from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I cut the 2 butterfly dies from the Meadow Dies out of the stamped panel and adhered them to the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Meadow Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink around the sentiment. 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 Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tiny flower images from the Quiet Moment stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Thank You

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend already. I’m so excited, tomorrow I’ll be heading down the shore for the day. It’s our 1st, and probably last, time this summer. The beach is my happy place. I get lost in my thoughts listening to the waves and taking long walks along the water. I’m so looking forward to going.

Today’s card we made last night at our team meeting. My team leader, Jaimie, decided to do some mystery stamping. She gave us all the cardstock and DSP measurements. We had to pick the stamp set and colors we wanted and she talked us through making our cards. All our cards were different, but yet the same. It was so much fun, I can’t wait to do it again. Here’s the card I made.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set along with the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by randomly stamping the images from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent Inks on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I embossed the panel using my Timework Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I cut the artwork into 1″ strips using my Paper Trimmer and adhered them to the Basic White mat, leaving a tiny space between the strips, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies. I adhered a length of Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the top of the artwork using a tiny amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the images from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent Inks on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set on the envelope front in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent Inks. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow 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! Biggest Wish CAS Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend, hope you have something fun planned.

Today’s card is a CAS card we made at our class Tuesday night. I like to start my classes with an easy one and work out way up. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper. This paper is available to anyone placing an order over $150 where you can earn Stampin’ Rewards from Stampin’ Up! You can see this paper and other stamp sets that are Host Exclusive on page 170 & 171 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see if you can get some friends together to place an order to earn this paper, I’d be happy to help you out and put together a Host Code for you. Send me a note to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and we can talk about it.

I started by adhering a panel of the Pattern Party Host DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a panel of Real Red cardstock using the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel of the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on an angle. I trimmed the excess using my Paper Snips. I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the card front twice and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sunny Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party Host DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a couple more Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the inside of the card.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party Host 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! All For Baby

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Have you started shopping the new July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and earned some FREE Sale-a-bration items yet? What are you waiting for? Shop now through Monday August 9th and earn my Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards. I got my order in first thing yesterday morning, YAY!!! I should have my goodies by tomorrow and can’t wait to start playing with them all.

Today’s card is another one we made at my class last night. I had a couple of the ladies request a baby card. A couple wanted baby boy cards and others wanted gender neutral. Here’s the card we made.

I used the Stampin’ Up! All For Baby Bundle for my cute card today.

I started by using my Blending Brush and added Pool Party Ink to a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the clothesline image from the Stampin’ Up! All For Baby Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink on the inked panel. I cut the top of the panel using my Basic Borders Dies. I adhered the card front to a Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the romper outfit from the All For Baby stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink and the teddy bear image from the All For Baby stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the stamped images out using my Baby Clothes Dies. Using my Baby Clothes Dies I cut 2 of the hangers from a panel of Basic White cardstock, 4 of the clothespins from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, the onesie outfit from a panel of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and the bib from a panel of Pattern Party Hose Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the sentiment from the All For Baby stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the top of the inked panel. I adhered the outfits to the hangers using Stampin’ Seal and the clothespins to the die cut images using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut images to the clothesline using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the All For Baby stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the teddy bear image from the All For Baby stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bear image from the All For Baby stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the little striped romper outfit from the All For Baby stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Pattern Party Host 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! Delivering Cheer Fall Birthday

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Does everyone know what today is? It’s the eve of the new July-December 2021 Mini Catalog going live!!! I hope you have your lists ready to go. I’ll be up bright and early tomorrow morning to get my order placed.

Today’s card uses a set from the new catalog. I think it’s one of my favorites. This is also another one of the cards we will be making tomorrow night at my class. One of the ladies asked if we could make something fall with this stamp set. I love when they give me ideas of what they want. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate With Flowers Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a smaller panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the bottom image of the girl from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sentiment. I stamped the top image on top of the bottom image, lining them up, in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Misty Moonlight and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I also using my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the artwork to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate With Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I adhered a strip of the Beauty of The Earth 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 card. This set will be available tomorrow, Tuesday August 3rd, when the catalog goes live. Is it on your list? Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden Anniversary

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend and Happy End of July. Hope you have something fun planned. Looks like it’s going to be a beauty here, upper 70’s and sunny. It was beautiful sleeping last night, it was in the low 50’s. I shut off the A/C, opened the windows and turned on my attic fan. I got to fall asleep listening to the crickets, lol.

Today’s card is a quick and easy one that I think we will be making at our class on Tuesday night. Actually today and tomorrow’s card are very similar, you have to let me know which one you like better. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card. This DSP is one of the 9 that are on sale until Tuesday for 15% off. Now’s the perfect time to stock up and save.

I started by stamping the Daisy Garden image in Versamark Ink on a panel of In Good Taste DSP. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. For a little stability, I adhered the card front to a panel of Bumblebee cardstock using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink and cut it out using my Messages Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Daisy Garden image in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink over the daisy image. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped part of the Daisy Garden stamp on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off once. 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Sympathy

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends and Happy Independence Day!! Hope you have some fun plans for today. I’m having a relaxing day at home, no plans here.

Today’s card is a similar design that I did this past week, I just change the image and paper a little. This is one we will probably be making at my class on Tuesday night. I had one person ask for a nautical card, one ask for a sympathy and one ask to use a specific stamp set. So I used all 3 suggestions in 1 card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Night of Navy cardstock I stamped the sentiment form the Sailing Home stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the 3rd from the smallest Stitched Rectangle Dies, with the sentiment on the very bottom. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 3rd from the smallest Stitched Rectangle Die. I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. Using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers, I added a little color around the lighthouse image. I added a little color for the sand on the bottom of the image using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the anchor image from the Sailing Home stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Gray Granite Ink and cut the image out using my Smooth Sailing Dies. I cut the helm die from the Smooth Sailing Dies, from a scrap of In Good Taste DSP and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a silver Metallic Pearl to the center of the helm. I threaded a piece of Gray Granite Bakers Twine, from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack, through the top of the anchor and wrapped it around the card front and tied a knot in the back. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the compass image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the anchor image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on top of the compass image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the compass image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on the envelope front and the anchor image in Gray Granite Ink on top of the compass. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Hope you all enjoy your 4th of July festivities and if you have off tomorrow, enjoy your day off. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Hello Friend

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope you have some fun plans for this weekend. Maybe a picnic, some fireworks. Whatever you have plans, have fun and stay safe.

Today’s card is a pretty simple one that I let the DSP do most the work and I played with my Stamparatus. I think we might be making this card at next week’s class. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Expressions In Ink DSP to a Gold Foil Sheet mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the card front 3 times using my Stamparatus to get placement exact. I stamped the ‘friend’ sentiment over the last ‘hello’ in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I cut a panel of Just Jade cardstock with the leaf die from the Artistic Dies and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ White Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, around the layered panel and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Polished Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sunny Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf images from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Just Jade Ink around the flower image. I adhered the Basie White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Polished Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaves from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Just Jade Ink around the flowers. I adhered a panel of the Expressions In Ink Specialty 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! Biggest Wish Pansy Birthday

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to a long weekend. It’s also the last day of June, which means tomorrow is the 1st, and you know what that means???? Designer Series Paper Sale starts. Details are listed below.

I have a quick and easy card today that I kind of CASEd from my team leader Amy. I’m thinking of using this one for my class next week. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a strip of the Pansy Petals DSP to the side of the Calypso Coral card front using Multipurpose Liquid glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the ‘Happy’ sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, Bumblebee, Calypso Coral and Polished Pink Ink down the side of the panel. I used my Stamparatus to make sure everything was lined up and straight. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the ‘Happy’ sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink. I stamped the ‘birthday’ sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink over the top of the first sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered a length of Pale Papaya 1/2″ Woven Ribbon to the artwork using Stampin’ Seal and then the sentiment over the top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pale Papaya Genial Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Calypso Coral Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a thin strip of the Pansy Petals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

To finish my card I adhered a strip of Pansy Petals DSP to a Basic White Medium Envelope front 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!!
