Stampin’ Up! Fun On Wheels for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends 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’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For the Boys/Men”. We can interpret this however we want. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I couldn’t wait to use the new Stampin’ Up! Fun On Wheels Bundle along with the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. This one will be for my husband. He likes taking his bike and riding all around town with it.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Boho Blue card front using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Boho Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the 3 panels of Basic White, I stamped the road map image from the Stampin’ Up! Fun On Wheels Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the 3 stamped panels to 3 Pecan Pie mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 2 of the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 3rd layered panel in the center using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the bike die cut from a panel of Real Red using the Fun On Wheels Dies. I cut the wheel die cuts and seat from a panel of Basic Black using the Fun On Wheels Dies. I adhered the pieces together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the bike to the center panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Fun On Wheels stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I adhered a strip of Pecan Pie behind the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Opaque Ovals to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Fun on Wheels stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bicycle image from the Fun On Wheels stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the bike image from the Fun On Wheels stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I embossed a panel of Boho Blue cardstock using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the envelope flap.

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Masculine Card

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through the week already.

Today’s card was a last-minute card that I added to our Stamp Camp Card Class last night. We kicked off the new catalog with a scavenger hunt where the ladies won some prize patrol for finishing it. We then made some masculine cards. My upline Jaimie is doing a weekly sketch challenge with us again and her sketch came in just in time for an idea for a card. Here’s my card that was inspired from her sketch.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

This was her sketch for us this week.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored just the leaves of the image using the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic Black cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the ends of using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped part of the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the leaves using Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the leaves using my Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped part of the tree image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set on the envelope flap in Tuxedo Black Ink.

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That

Good Monday morning my stamping friends and Happy MAY and Happy May Day!!! How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything special? A quick reminder that today is the last day of the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS, but tomorrow is the launch of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog – with new fun goodies – new Core Colors – and new 2023-2025 In Colors!  I can’t wait!!  Today’s card uses a couple of the new Core Colors.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Bundle along with the Basics 3D Embossing Folder, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. The stamp set and dies will be carrying over to the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, but not at the bundle price. Today is the last day to get the bundle price saving 10%.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the car image from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set. Using my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker (available tomorrow May 2nd), I colored just the bottom sentiment on the stamp. Using my Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker (available tomorrow May 2nd), I colored just the car on the stamp. I gave is a huff to reactivate the ink and stamped the image. I cut the sentiment and image out using the All That Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the banners using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started out productive.

I have another Father’s Day card for you today. You all know how I struggle with masculine cards, and when I get an idea, I try to run with it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s The Man Suite Collection along for my card today.

I started by cutting 2 panels of He’s The Man Designer Series Paper in half diagonally. I adhered the 2 triangles to a Soft Succulent mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the layered panel to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a piece of the Sahara Sand 3/8″ ribbon from the Old Olive & Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon Combo Pack on the card front in a ‘Z’ form with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal.

From a panel of Early Espresso cardstock, I cut out one of the framed dies from the All That Dies. I adhered one of the die-cut sentiments from the He’s All That DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered 2 strips of the He’s The Man DSP to either side of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked today’s masculine card and will give it a try. This He’s The Man DSP makes masculine cards so quick and easy to make. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Fun Fold Box Gift Card Holder Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. It’s Friday the 13th, do I have any superstitious stampers out there? How are you all doing today? Are you ready for the weekend? I hope you are making some fun plans. I’ll be working both days this weekend.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set along with the He’s The Man Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is the template for the card base. After trying to type how to put the card together, I realized that it is much easier to watch my video where I explain step by step.

Once I scored, folded and adhered the box together, I adhered 2 panels of He’s The Man DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 2 thinner panels of He’s The Man DSP to the inside of the box using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped the belly band around the card base and adhered it together using Tear & Tape. I adhered a panel of He’s The Man DSP to the front of the panel where it is adhered together.

The pack of He’s The Man DSP comes with 2 sheets of die-cut pieces. I adhered one of the pieces to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Dots to the die-cut panel

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the He’s All That stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a Cajun Craze mat inside the box using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I recommend not adhering the Basic White panel inside the card until after you sign it since you would be signing inside a box.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small corner image from He’s All That stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the top corners of the envelope front. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Father’s Day

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend. It was beautiful here, especially yesterday. I believe it was 78 and sunny most of the day. Now we’re back to rain and 50. Is anyone else watching the clock like I am? Less than 24 hours till the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog goes live, YAY!!!! I can’t wait. I’ve got my list all ready to go starting with my must haves right away, then my I want it now’s, followed by I’ll get it next week if I can wait that long and finally I want them, but I can wait a bit. I will be hitting that expedite button so I have my new goodies in a day or 2 so that I can get all the DSP cut up and shipped out to you ASAP.

Today’s card is one that we will be making at my monthly class tomorrow night. I thought I’d start the night off, and today’s post, with all the new 2022-2024 In-Colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Gentle Waves Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Happy & Heartfelt Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the water image from the Gentle Waves stamp set first in Tahitian Tide Ink. I moved the panel up a little and stamped it again in Starry Sky Ink. I adhered the stamped panel to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sailboat image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I colored the masts in Parakeet Party using my 2022-2024 In- Colors Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the sails images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet Inks. Using my Sailboat Builder Punch, I cut all the images out. Before punching them, I cut them apart using my Paper Snips to make it a little easier to punch. I adhered the sailboats to the stamped panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Starry Sky Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, below the boat image.

I adhered the Sweet Sorbet sails using Glue Dots and the Orchid Oasis sails using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the bird image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. On a small panel of Basic Whtie cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. I wrapped a piece of Starry Sky Baker’s Twine from the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack around the panel twice tying a knot on the back. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Parakeet Party 2022-2024 matte Decorative Dots to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the water image from the Gentle Waves stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink. I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Starry Sky Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, below the boat. I stamped the birds’ image around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the water image from the Gentle Waves stamp set on the envelope front in Tahitian Tide Ink. I stamped the sailboat image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Orchid Oasis and Sahara Sand on the bottom of the envelope. I stamped the birds in Smoky Slated Ink. I adhered a panel of Sahara Sand Neutrals 6 X 6 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! Wild & Sweet Raccoon

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It was a busy day yesterday at work. Everyone seems to either be painting or repairing their lawn mowers. Being that busy makes the day fly by, but by the time I get home I don’t want to do anything.

Today’s card I played with a new set from the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and some of the beautiful DSP that will soon be retiring. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Cling Stamp Set (available May 3rd) along with the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Cling Stamp Set and the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper (retiring May 2nd) for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to a Misty Moonlight (retiring May 2nd) card base. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the raccoon image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the stamped image to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few 2020-2022 In- Color Square Gems (retiring May 2nd) to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the raccoon image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Beauty of The Earth 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 stamp set will be available May 3rd. The DSP will be retiring as of May 2nd or while supplies last. If you really like this DSP grab it while you can. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet CAS Sneak Peek

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was very rainy here and it got cold again. Just when I thought spring was here it changed back.

I have a sneak peek for you today from the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Before I forget, if you are a customer of mine, be watching your mail. I was able to get to the post office on Friday before they closed and got your catalogs in the mail. If you are not a customer of mine yet and would like to be and would like a catalog, please send me a note at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I’ll get one in the mail to you. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Cling Stamp Set along with the retiring Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Pattern Party DSP to a Basic Black card base. This is a Hose Exclusive pack of DSP that will be retiring May 2nd.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. Using the 2nd largest Stitched Rectangle Die I cut a panel of Basic Black cardstock. I adhered the artwork to the Basic Black rectangle using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Black Matte Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pattern Party DSP mat and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party 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 with the new stamp set and might be adding this one to your wish list too. It makes nice quick and easy cards. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration Father’s Day Fun Fold

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Is it starting to feel like spring by any of you? We’ve had a couple tease days then back to cold.

Yesterday we had out in person team meeting, which is always fun seeing everyone. After out meeting we got to stamp a little with some team members presenting. This week I’ll be showing a few of the cards that we made. I was one of the presenters. The card I have today is the one that I showed, and everyone made. When I did the presentation, I changed things up a little, I’ll show that one another day. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Cling Stamp Set and the Waves of The Ocean Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering the 4 smaller panels of Waves of The Ocean DSP to the 4 smaller Basic White mats. I then adhered them to the 4 small panels on the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the longer panel of Waves of The Ocean DSP to the longer Basic Whtie Mat and then to the panel of Pacific Point cardstock and set it aside. On the 2″ X 5 1/2″ panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the pelican image from the Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Waves Dies. From the same panel of Basic Whtie cardstock, I cut the 2 cloud images and the detailed cloud images using my Waves Dies. I adhered the detailed cloud die to the bottom of each of the clouds. I cut 6 birds from the Basic Black cardstock using the Waves Dies.

I cut the panel of Blue Foil Specialty Paper using my Waves Dies. I adhered the wave to the 2 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ panel of Waves of The Ocean DSP. I cut around the wave using my Paper Snips leaving about 1/8″ around the wave. I adhered the wave to the long-layered panel of DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the bottom.

I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pacific Point Ink on the Basic White panel. I stamped the wave image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pacific Point Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the cut pelican image to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the cloud to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered 3 of the die cut birds around the sentiment using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. To adhere the bridge, I used 2 pieces of Tear & Tape on both ends of the bridge. I adhered the left side first, then I folded the card flat and adhered the right side lining it up with the edges.

On the back panel of Basic Whtie cardstock, I stamped the wave image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pacific Point Ink, stamping it off 3 times on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment form the Celebrating You stamp set in Pacific Point Ink. I adhered the other cloud to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 3 birds using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue, around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the back of the card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pelican image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set on the envelope front and colored it using my Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Waves of The Ocean 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!!

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some plans. Yesterday’s post I got a little mixed up on my days. When I have a day on the weekend off, I get a little confused of what day it is lol. I had yesterday off and was able to get a lot done between crafting, cleaning, laundry and paying bills. I’ve learned to love my days when I’m home alone. No one to be calling to me to look at this or help them with that. I can just do my thing and I get so much done.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Cozy Cabin.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Gentle Waves Cling Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the colors and the sailboat on the top shelf in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #169.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by stamping the water image on a Basic Whtie panel from the Gentle Waves stamp set first in Balmy Blue and I move the stamp slightly and stamped again in Misty Moonlight, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed a Basic White card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base. I adhered the stamped panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Misty Moonlight, Real Red and Sahara Sand Inks. I cut the panel for easy punching of the stamped images. I punched the images out using my Sailboat Builder Punch. I cut 2 clouds from the panel using my Waves Dies (available March 1). I stamped the sentiment from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the panel and cut it apart using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the boat images to the stamped panel. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set below each boat using Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Misty Moonlight sails using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the Real Red Sails using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the clouds to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the cut-up sentiment to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the Gentle Waves stamp on the bottom of the panel in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink, the sails in Real Red Ink and the shadow in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamped off once. I stamped the bird image in Smoky Slate Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat and then to the inside of the Basic White thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the envelope front the same as I did for the inner liner of the card. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 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!!
