Stampin’ Up! Tropical Hideaway

Posted on by
2

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend.

Today’s card is one that we made last night at our Stamp Camp Card Class. I like to show the ladies some easy techniques when I can, and I’ve always liked the masking technique. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Hideaway Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Palms Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle for my card today.

I started by using the Chic Dies and cutting a panel of Masking Paper. I adhered the die cut Masking Paper to the center of a Basic White card front. I stamped the Tropical Hideaway stamp on the top using Soft Sea Foam Ink and the bottom using Pool Party Ink. I placed the card front, with mask side down to the stamp, on top of the stamp. I placed a piece of scrap paper on top of the stamp & card front and rubbed it using my hand making sure to press to get a good, stamped image. I carefully removed the paper from the stamp making sure to lift it straight up, so it didn’t smear.

Using my Blending Brush, I added some Petal Pink Ink over the die cut mask before removing it. Once I had coverage the way I wanted, I carefully removed the Masking Paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the card front in the masked area. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Tropical Hideaway image on a Basic White panel after stamping off once on scrap paper. It’s a very light image. I stamped the sentiment from Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. I stamped the seashell image from Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the bottom of the panel, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the shell image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Splendid Day 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! Hello Ladybug

Posted on by
2

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s 4th? Did you go to see fireworks?

Today’s card is one that we will be making tonight at my Stamp Camp Card Class. I’m hoping the ladies like this one. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks for my card today.

I started by using the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and my Blending Brush and added Highland Heather Ink to a Basic White card front. I adhered a panel of Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large leaf image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I fussy cut the leaf using my Paper Snips. I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Ladybug stamp set on the leaf in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the leaf to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the ladybug body and wings from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Tuxedo Black and Real Red Inks. On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the daisy image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Highland Heather Ink one in full strength and one stamped off. I punched the ladybug body and wings out using the Ladybug Builder Punch. I punched the daisies out using the Medium Daisy Punch. Using the Ladybug Builder Punch, I punched the wings from a panel of Vellum Paper and 2 from a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I adhered the stamped wings to the Vellum wings using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the wings to the ladybug body using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 daisies together. I cut the Granny Apple Green wings in half and using my Bone Folder I scored the center of the wings and gave them a little fold. I adhered the leaves to the back of the daisy using Glue Dots. I adhered the daisy and ladybug to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Glossy Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the leaf image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Granny Apple Green, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a Basic White panel. I stamped the ladybug image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Real Red and Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the leaf. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat and then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the ladybug image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Real Red and Tuxedo Black Inks on the envelope front. Using the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks, I used my Blending Brush and added some Highland Heather Ink on 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! Lovely You for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
14

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkel’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set along with the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper for my book fold card today.

These are our colors this week. I chose Polished Pink for my mystery color.

I started by coloring some of the flowers on a panel of the Perfectly Penciled DSP using my Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the card front and strip to Polished Pink mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the binding side of the card front together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Versmark Ink and sprinkled it with my Black Embossing Powder. I set it using my Heat Tool. I punched the sentiment out with my Double Oval Punch. I punched out a scalloped oval from a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped oval using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a piece of Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped the small flower from the Lovely You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the envelope front.

Thank you for stopping by 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 and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
18

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by stamping the basket weave image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries Photopolymer Stamp Set on a Crumb Cake card base in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Die. I stamped the sentiments from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot Inks on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron panel, which I cut using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Die, on an angle using Stampin’ Seal.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the cherry image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink 3 times. On another strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink 6 times. On a thin strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the stem image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink 3 times. I punched all the images our using my Cherry Builder Punch. I adhered the stems to the back of the cherries using Glue Dots. I adhered the 1st cherry to the layered panel using Glue Dots and adhered the leaves to the stem using Glue Dots. I adhered the other 2 cherries to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals or Glue Dots.

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot Inks on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cherry image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Merry Merlot Ink. I stamped the stem in Crumb Cake Ink and the leaves in Mint Macaron Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cherry images from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I stamped the basket weave image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the envelope flap in Crumb Cake Ink.

Thank you for stopping by 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 and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends.  I hope everyone is having a productive week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. It’s been gorgeous here for the past week, sunny and perfect temp.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set for my clean and layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #178.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I played along with the Alphabet Challenge ‘F is for Friendship’.

I started by stamping the shell images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Shimmery White panel. I cut the image out using the largest die from the Seaside Seashells Dies. I them embossed the panel using the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.

I lined up a panel of Pool Party cardstock with the front of a Basic White Thick card base and using the 2nd largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut both panels together. I put a think bead of Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the edge of the front of the Basic Whtie Thick card base and adhered the die cut shells. I adhered the Pool Party frame over the die cut panel, making sure it lined up with the card base, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink, I added color to a panel of Vellum Paper. I adhered the panel of inked Vellum to the inside front of the Basic White Thick card base with the inked side against the die cut image.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sand dollar image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set over the sand dollar image in Sahara Sand Ink. I cut the image out using the coordinating die from the Seaside Seashells Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small double bow using the Crumb Cake bakers twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the star fish image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the top of the panel. I stamped the seaweed images form the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Pool Party Ink along the bottom of the panel, some stamped full strength and some stamped off once. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party 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 sand, shells and seaweed images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set on the bottom front of the envelope and the envelope flap in Crumb Cake, Pool Party and Sahara Sand Inks.

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

Today I have a card that we made at our Creativity Now event from Saturday night. The designers from Stampin’ Up! came up with 4 different cards that we made. Some of them were not exactly my style, but I made them anyway. They adhered DSP and dies crooked on the card fronts. Those that know me, know that I like things straight. These cards were out of my comfort zone, and I liked them lol. I’ll be showing the others over the next week. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle (available July 1st) along with the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set and Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper (available July 1st) for my card today.

I started by embossing a Fresh Freesia card front using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Fresh Freesia card base. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the card front on an angle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I colored a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Fresh Freesia and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the top half with my Light Pool Party and the bottom half with my Light Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker. I colored of the center of the panel with Dark Pool Party and Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker (I hope this makes sense). I stamped the bumblebee image from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Pool Party and Fresh Freesia Inks on their respective colors. I adhered the panel to the card front at the opposite angle of the DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink. Using my Paper Snips, I cut the ends into a banner. I cut 2 of the leaf dies from the Splendid Stems Dies from a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I adhered the dies to the back of the sentiment using Glue Dots. I adhered a piece of the beautiful Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon (available July 1st) behind the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the eucalyptus and bumblebee images from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the eucalyptus and image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front and the bee image in Fresh Freesia Ink. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. The bundle and DSP used for my card today will be available for purchase starting on Friday July 1st. I hope that you are getting those shopping lists ready. I have mine ready to go first thing in the morning. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Go To Greeting Tag Fun Fold

Posted on by
2

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything special for Father’s Day? We surprised my husband with an unexpected gift yesterday. My husband is a big Formula 1 fan. He loves watching the races. He’s not an oval or round track fan, he likes all the turns. There’s a place in south Jersey that he can go and drive a racecar on a racetrack. I booked a full package for him. He will get to drive with an experienced driver at high speeds, then he gets to drive a Farari with a passenger around the track. I’ll be in the pit watching lol. I did get the video and picture package too so I can see it later. I think he’s a bit excited about it. We’ll be going the end of August.

Before I get started with my card, I just wanted to remind everyone that TOMORROW is the day for Stampin’ Up! Free Shipping.

Stampin’ Up! just announced that they will be offering FREE shipping on all orders of $75+ on Tuesday, June 21!  So get your lists ready and get your orders placed that day!

  • Free shipping only applies during the 24-hour period the promotion is live; this means that the order must be opened and closed on June 21, 2022.
  • With the exception of month-to-month Paper Pumpkin subscriptions, all Stampin’ Up! products qualify for the promotion.
    • Prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions are eligible for FREE shipping under the same rules as all other Stampin’ Up! items during the promotion.

Contact me if you have any questions.  Head over to my Online Store on Tuesday June 21st to take advantage of this awesome offer.

Today’s card is a quick one even though it’s a fun fold. There’s not much stamping going on today. I played with some new dies that I’ve had but haven’t played with yet. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set along with the Designer Tags Dies and Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the front of the Orchid Oasis card base. Using the largest Designer Tags Die and the detailed flower die, I cut a panel of Orchid Oasis cardstock. Using the same large tag die, I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the White tag to the back of the detailed Orchid Oasis tag. I trimmed the bottom of the tag using my Paper Trimmer.

I colored a piece of the 3/8″ Metallic Edge Cotton Ribbon using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. Once it was dried, I threaded the ribbon through the top of the tag and tied it off. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Sweet Sorbet cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I snipped the one end into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a Basic White panel. I cut the sprig using the Designer Tags Dies from a panel of Garden Green cardstock and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the left of the inside of the card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Tea Boutique 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! Cheerful Basket

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans this weekend? I have the weekend off, YAY! Tonight, I will be attending virtually our Creativity Now Event. All the cards we will be making will be featuring the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle. I’m looking forward to just having fun stamping online with other demonstrators. I’ll be showing the cards we will be making over the next week.

Today’s card is one that we made at our Mystery Stamping this past Tuesday at our Team Stamping Studio. Mystery stamping is always a lot of fun. Our Upline Jaimie give us cardstock and DSP measurements and talks us through putting it together. All of our cards are similar, but different. Here’s what I came up with for my card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Bundle along with the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Sweet Sorbet mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the basket, butterfly, cat and craft supply image from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Orchid Oasis, Pale Papaya, Parakeet Party, Polished Pink, Smoky Slate, Soft Suede, Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using my Full Basket Dies. I adhered the images on the sentiment panel the way I wanted them using Glue dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cat image from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet 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 butterfly and cat images from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Tea Boutique 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! Simply Fabulous Hello

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was gorgeous here and of course I was inside both days working.

Today’s card is one that we’re going to make at my class on Tuesday night. I wanted to try something a little different but easy. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Lovely In Linen Designer Series Paper and the Stripes & Splatter 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is my template for my DSP. I took a 6 X 6 panel of the Lovely In Linen DSP and marked 1″ from each corner. I lightly drew lines from my little pencil marks. I then cut the paper in 4 pieces using my Paper Trimmer. This will give you 4 panels to make 4 cards.

I adhered a panel of the Lovely In Linen DSP to a Very Vanilla card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I embossed the small panel of Sweet Sorbet cardstock using the Splatter embossing folder from the Stripes & Splatter 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue lining it up with the DSP

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the Very Vanilla card front panel above the DSP and embossed panel. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on either side of the panel stamped full strength and stamped off once. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink full strength and stamped off on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Lovely In Linen 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! Treasured Kindness for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. Today is my daughter’s 24th birthday. I can’t believe that 24 years have gone by that quickly. She’s not only my daughter but my friend. We do most everything together. Unfortunately for the first time in years she has class today. Being a Memorial Day baby, she would almost always have her birthday off. Our plans are to celebrate it on Saturday with her friend and Monday with a small picnic.

If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Treasured Kindness Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Fields DSP to a Pear Pizzazz card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sun image from the Treasured Kindness stamp set in So Saffron Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, in the center of the panel. I stamped the tree image from the Treasured Kindness stamp set. I stamped the tree trunk in Soft Suede Ink stamping the detailed full strength and the fill image stamped off once on scrap paper. I stamped the treetop stamping the detailed image in Pear Pizzazz Ink and the fill image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I stamped the ground image from the Treasured Kindness stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink below the tree. I cut the panel using my Deckled Rectangle Dies (which have become my new favorite dies) and adhered it to the card base.

On a strip of So Saffron cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Treasured Kindness stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the sentiment strip to a strip of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sun image from the Treasured Kindness stamp set in So Saffron Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Treasured Kindness stamp set in Soft Suede Ink over the sun. I stamped the tree image from the Treasured Kindness stamp set on the bottom of the panel the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Treasured Kindness stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Flowering Fields DSP 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 and see everyone’s projects today.
