Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. It’s April 30th and tomorrow is May 1st, that means I work in the office both days. Well, I was supposed to. One of my cashiers called me last night sick, so I’ll be opening today and running a register until another one can get in. Today was going to be a nice easy day, I was going in around noon to get my work done and come home. I’ll now be in early, my cashier said she may not be in until 2-3pm, so I’ll be there till 5pm I guess. I’ll probably take Monday off, but I haven’t decided yet.

I can’t believe we’re at the end of the month again. That means we’re even closer to warmer weather, but better than that, we’re only 3 days away from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog going live YAY!!! Are you getting those shopping lists ready? Mine is 2 pages long. If you have a long list, you might want to be reading the special going on starting May 3rd. All the details are below.

Today’s card was made for someone very special, my upline Jaimie. She just earned the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip and hit a big milestone, she is truly amazing. My card has very little stamping today. I used Designer Series Paper and dies. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Cling Stamp Set along with the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Artfully Composed DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White card stock using the 3rd largest die from the Scalloped Contour Dies. I adhered a panel of Artfully Composed DSP to the die cut panel. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From a panel of Basic White cardstock I cut the smaller detailed sentiment dies from the Amazing Thanks Dies. From a panel of Just Jade cardstock I cut the bubble sentiment dies from the Amazing Thanks Dies. I adhered the Basic White detailed to the Just Jade bubble die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped panel 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 Artfully Layered stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small leaf image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the script image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the leaf image twice. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Artfully Composed DSP mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large leaf image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the script image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the leaf image twice. I stamped the sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the leaf and script. I adhered a panel of the Artfully Composed 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!!
