Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Friend Birthday Sneak Peek

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s weekend started off? I’ll be at work all day today.

I have 1 more sneak peek card from last weekends OnStage@Home event for you. I can’t believe it’s already been a week since our OnStage@Home event. I’m loving these designs that the demonstrator came up with for these cards. They really showcase the whole suite. Here’s my take on the last design.

This card once again uses the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Bundle. Everyone’s card is a little different depending on which pattern of DSP they chose.

I started by stamping the wildflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Smoky Slate card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel.

I adhered the 3 panels of Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper that I chose to the right of the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Mossy Meadow 3/16″ Braided Lined Trim (available January 5,2021) around the card front and tied a bow.

I cut 3 of the small dragonflies out of a panel of Whisper White cardstock using the Dragonflies Punch. I brushed them using my Clear Wink of Stella and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the wildflower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on either side of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the wildflower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. All items used for this card will be available from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog on January 5th, 2021. If you are one of my customers and have placed an order in the past year I will be sending a catalog out to you as soon as I receive them. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Thank You Sneak Peek

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. Another month flying by. I was walking home from work the other day and noticed everyone’s leaves raked to the curb waiting to be picked up, except mine. Mine are still green on my tree. I have a purple plum tree in my backyard and it’s still purple full of leaves. Other that pine trees, I have the only trees with leaves that haven’t turned on our block. My trees are definitely laughing at me.

I have sneak peek for you today of another card that we ‘made’ at OnStage@Home this past weekend. This is another one that everyone’s will look different depending on which patterns of the paper everyone chose. Here’s my take on the card.

I played along with Always Fun Challenge #188. Their theme is ‘Thank You’.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Bundle which will be available for purchase January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.

I started by stamping the small dragonfly cluster image from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set in Bumblebee Ink along the side of a Whisper White panel. I adhered a panel of Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper across the center of the panel using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Misty Moonlight Ink. On a panel of Bumblebee cardstock I stamped the wings fill image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink twice. From a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP I punched one of the dragonflies out using my Dragonflies Punch and adhered it to the Bumblebee panel, above the stamped wings so that it looked like a shadow, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the 2 shorter panels of Dandy Garden DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Bumblebee panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a Ladybug Trinkets to the corner of the Bumblebee panel using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in the center of a Whisper White panel in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the dragonfly image from Dragonfly Garden stamp set twice on the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink twice on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Dandy Garden DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. All items used for today’s card, except for the Ornate Thanks stamp set, will be available from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog on January 5, 2021. If you are one of my customers and have placed an order in the past year, I will be sending you the catalog as soon as I get them. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Wishes and Wonder 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!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara Carpenter’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Christmas or Happy Holidays”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wonder & Wishes Bundle for my card today. My design is from Mojo Monday Sketch #549. Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper card front to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal I cut a strip of Real Red cardstock using the scalloped edge die from the Peony Dies and adhered it to another panel of Heartwarming Hugs DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sleigh image from the Stampin’ Up! Wishes & Wonder Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the deer image from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the same panel. I colored the sleigh in using my Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers and the deer in using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my North Pole Wonder Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the Whisper White panel and cut it out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies, keeping the sentiment to the right.

I adhered the sleigh to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the deer in front of the sleigh using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment below the images using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Real Red Wonderful Gems to the card front. I tied a small bow using the Real Red 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I had stamped, colored and cut out a 2nd deer from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set, so I adhered it next to the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the sleigh image from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the deer image from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Soft Suede Ink and colored it in using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Heartwarming Hugs DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Friend Sneak Peek

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I spent 2 1/2 days virtually at my OnStage@Home event. We had a lot of laughs, saw new items coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, Sale-A-Bration Items and a learned a lot. I can’t wait to show you some of the new items coming. I’ll be getting my order either today or tomorrow so hopefully I’ll be able to show you some of them on my Facebook live on Wednesday.

For today I have a card that I made ‘at’ OnStage@Home. We were given card cut measurements and saw how the presenter put it together. I didn’t make mine the exact same way as she made the sample. Everyone’s card will be unique since we were able to choose which designs of the DSP we wanted to use. Here’s one of my cards from OnStage@Home.

My card used the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Bundle that will be available on January 5th 2021.

I started by stamping the cluster of small dragonflies image from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink across a Mossy Meadow card front on a diagonal. I embossed the panel using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and adhered the card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink twice. I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the top of the Whisper White panel. I adhered a Bumblebee panel to the Mossy Meadow card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered 3 strips of Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper over the Bumblebee panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card front on top of the DSP strips using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped another dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Dragonflies Punch. I adhered the dragonfly to the Whisper White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Ladybug Trinkets to the card front using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the dragonfly image twice on the panel in Bumblebee Ink. I adhered the Whisper 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 Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set twice on the envelope front in Bumblebee Ink. I adhered a panel of Dandy Garden DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked the card. The Dragonfly
Garden stamp set, Dragonflies Punch, DSP and Ladybug Trinkets will be available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog starting January 5, 2021. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Birthday CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend has started off wonderful. I’m at my virtual OnStage event this weekend. Even though I’m home, I’m still having a lot of fun and learning a lot. I’ll share the projects we made next week with you.

I have a masculine Clean and Simple card for you today using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #618. Here are their colors.

I played along with the Paper Craft Crew Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #400. Here is their board. I went across the top.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #257. Their theme is ‘Birthday for an Adult Male’.

I also joined in with Just Add Ink Challenge #530. Their challenge is Stamps-Ink-Paper.

I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the leaves image from Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink. I stamped the birdhouse image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink hanging from the tree. I stamped the grass image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamped off once, on the bottom of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink on the top of the Very Vanilla panel.

I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Soft Suede card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Best Year stamp set in Old Olive Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the birdhouse image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped the leaves image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I stamped the grass image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once, across the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the leaves image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped a partial tree image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set on both sides of the envelope flap in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the leaves in Terracotta Tile Ink on the branches.

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

Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Snowflakes for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  Hope everyone is doing well.  If you are hopping over from Karen, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.
Here is our Theme for this week.

Here is my card using this theme.

My colors were inspired by Global Design Project #265. Here are their colors. My free choice color was Pool Party.

My design is from TGIF Challenge #288 . Their Theme is ‘Going In Circles’

I started by using the largest snowflake die from the So Many Snowflakes Dies and cut a Whisper White card front. I curved the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set on my block so that it matched the curve of the snowflake and stamped it in Smoky Slate Ink. I wrapped a piece of the Snowflake Splendor 1/4″ Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow.

I cut 2 of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper using my So Many Snowflake Dies. I cut 2 of the stitched circles from the Stitched Shapes Dies out of a panel of Coastal Cabana cardstock and adhered the snowflakes to them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stitched circles to the bottom of the card front, on top of the ribbon, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to a Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front on top of the DSP 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! Snowflake Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I adhered a strip of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Coastal Cabana mat using Stampin’ Seal 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 adhered a strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Vertical Curvy Christmas

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through which means the weekend is right around the corner, YAY!!! I’m very excited for this weekend. We have our OnStage @ Home event. We were supposed to go to Salt Lake City this year, but under the circumstances we will all be watching and participating from home. I’m really looking forward to seeing what coming.

For today I have a pretty clean and simple card for you using the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Celebrations Collection. After I was all finished with it, I realized I had made a simple fun fold. So you’re getting 2 this week from me. Here’s my card for today.

I joined in with the CAS On Friday Challenge #192. Their theme is ‘Christmas’.

I started by adhering a panel of Classic Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the flourished curvy die from the Curvy Dies, I cut the card front about a 1/3 of the way in. I did have to run this through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine multiple times since I was going through cardstock and DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a Whisper White panel. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered a piece of the Mossy Meadow 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim (available January5, 2021) to the card front in a zig-zag pattern using a little Stampin’ Seal to hold it in place. I adhered the sentiment over the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

On a Whisper White panel, which is the inner liner, I stamped the pine boughs image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set on the right edge following the curve of the card front in Mossy Meadow Ink. On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the bird in using my Cherry Cobbler and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set in the center of the Whisper White panel in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the bird between the pine boughs using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a couple Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the pine boughs.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the pine bough image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the envelope front twice. I stamped the 2 different birds from the Quite Curvy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the pine boughs facing each other. I colored the birds in using my Cherry Cobbler and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Classic Christmas 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! Curvy Christmas

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Don’t forget to vote today if you haven’t already.

For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

I have a special bonus with the purchase of the Curvy Celebrations!! Be sure to read details below.

I started by cutting a panel of Classic Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper using the Curvy Dies. I colored the berries on the DSP using my Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sprig image from the Curvy Christmas stamps set in Old Olive Ink on either side of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Curvy Christmas stamp set below the sprigs in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the cut DSP above and below the artwork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Brushed Metallic paper mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of Gold/Old Olive 1/8″ Trim from the All The Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack, around the matted card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 3 Pearl Basic Jewels that I colored using my Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Marker.

I stamped the sentiment from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Old Olive Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sprig image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Old Olive Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the dotted image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the sprig image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the dotted image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink around the sprigs. I adhered a panel of Classic Christmas 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! Hooray To You CAS

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you are enjoying your extra hour of sleep.

For today I have a Clean and Simple, Quick and Easy card for you. I used the basics for this one, Stamps, Ink & Paper plus I added a little embellishment. Here’s my card for today.

My colors for today’s card were inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #351. Here are their colors.

My design is from CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #396. Here is their sketch.

I started by stamped the large image from the Stampin’ Up! Hooray To You Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I colored the flower in using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the small sentiment from the Hooray To You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the artwork to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Colors Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Hooray To You stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the flower images from the Hooray To You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink around the sentiment. I colored the flowers in using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Bumblebee 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 Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the flower images from the Hooray To You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink along the bottom front of the envelope and on the envelope flap. I colored the flowers in using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker.

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

Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Pines Sneak Peek

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. Happy November. Hope everyone remembered to turn your clocks back. How was everyone’s Halloween? We had more trick or treaters that normal, I think we had 10 this year. It was perfect Halloween weather here, a beautiful crisp Autumn day. I’ll be at work most of today since it’s the 1st of the month, but I think I may take tomorrow off as a treat to myself.

I have another sneak peek for you today using a stamp set coming November 3rd. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Curvy Dies for today’s card.

On the 4 ¼” X 5 ½” panel of Whisper White cardstock stamped the pine bough image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the bottom of the panel using the die with the dots from the Curvy Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink matching the curve on the bottom of the panel. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut the panel down to 3″ X 5 1/4″

On one of Whisper White cardstock panels I adhered a 1 1/4″ panel of the Classic Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the bottom using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a 2 3/4″ panel of the Classic Christmas DSP to the top using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the curved panel to the top of the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the bow image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image in using my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the bow using my Paper Snips. I cut 4 sprigs from the Curvy Dies out of a panel of Just Jade cardstock. I adhered the sprigs to the card front using Glue Dots and adhered the bow on top of the sprigs using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Thick Whisper White 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 Curvy Christmas stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the tree image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink along the bottom front of the envelope.

I adhered a panel of the Classic Christmas 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. The items used today will be available to you in 2 short days on November 3rd. Stay tuned for something extra from me starting on November 3rd too. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Happy Stamping!!
