Stampin’ Up! Everyday Greetings

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Today we’re off to Animal Kingdom. We’ll be hopping to other parks today also since Animal Kingdom closes a little earlier than the others. I’m not sure which ones yet. I know we are having a late lunch at Yak & Yeti in Animal Kingdom and plan on going to see fireworks at Epcot. Yesterday was such a fun day at Hollywood Studios, I think that’s my favorite park. We had a wonderful dinner at Mama Melrose’s followed by the Fantasmic show.

Today’s card is the 2nd one I made with the One Sheet Wonder where I cut up a piece of 6 x 6 DSP to make 4 cards with it. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Everyday Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Regal Flora Cling Stamp Set, Unbounded Love Dies, Regal Winter Designer Series Paper, Regal Distressed Specialty Designer Series Paper and Textured Metallic Specialty Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Regal Winter DSP to a Regal Distressed DSP using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the 2nd One Sheet Wonder card, you are going to adhere a 3″ X 3″ panel of Regal Winter DSP to a Gold Textured Metallic mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a piece of Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ Satin Ribbon to the panel using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder, shake off excess and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the artwork over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the floral image from the Regal Flora stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the bottom of the panel, once full strength and once stamped off on scrap paper. Stamp the leafy image from the Regal Flora stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink around the floral images. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time

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

I did the Double Time Stamping technique and Spotlight technique for today’s card. I tried to make today’s card using just Stamps, Ink and Paper, but I couldn’t control myself with adding embellishments. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Magnolia Mood Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Put a small amount of Stampin’ Seal on the back of the small Basic White panel and press it against your jeans a couple times to reduce the stickiness. Adhere it to the center of the Basic White panel. Stamp the sentient from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of the panel. Stamp the large flower image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the top and bottom of the panel, making sure to be stamping on both panels.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Remove the smaller panel and color the flower images using Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the colored panel to a Lemon Lolly mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the larger Basic White panel, lining up the flower images on both panels. Adhere the layered panel to a Lemon Lolly mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the layered panel to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Lemon Lolly Tinsel Gems.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the small flower image and the leaf image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set on the top and bottom of the panel in Gray Granite Ink. Color the images using Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam Card base.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the small flower image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set on the envelope front in Gray Granite Ink. Stamp the flower bud image and leaf image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope flap. Color the images using Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves in Basic Gray

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be getting out of work early today to go to a baseball game with my co-workers We have a minor league team about 10 minutes from my house, the Somerset Patriots. They are affiliated with the New York Yankees. The games are so much fun and even more fun when there’s a whole group. I believe there about 50 of us going, employees with their families. Once the game is over they put on a wonderful display of fireworks, and we’ll have the box seats this year to watch them from.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! charming Duck Pond Bundle along with the Stylish Shapes Dies, Lily Pond Lane 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and So Swirly Embossing Folder for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the side of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Balmy Blue using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I embossed the die cut circle using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the die cut circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Very Vanilla, I cut the larger duck, wing and beak using the Charming Duck Pond Dies. From a panel of Lemon Lolly, I cut the 5 baby ducks using the Charming Duck Pond Dies. I colored the beak on the large Very Vanilla duck using the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. Fo the smaller ducklings, I colored the solid duckling body where the wing would be using the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the beak using the Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I made a mark where the eye is on the small duckling using the Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the detailed duckling body to the solid duckling body using Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger duck to the Balmy Blue embossed circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the ducklings using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond Photopolymer Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White in Pretty Peacock Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Pretty Peacock and Peach Pie Inks. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock and Peach Pie Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the envelope flap.

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

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! Hearts & Hugs CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends and Happy Mother’s Day!!! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend and have some plans for today. My plan is to spend some time in my craft studio doing with I love to do. Usually on Mother’s Day I’m outside planting flowers of plants, but it’s going to be a very rainy day and crafting seemed like a better idea.

I have a quick card for you today playing with a new bundle and a new In-Color. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs Bundle along with the 2024-2026 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to a Summer Splash card base using Liquid Glue. Using the Hearts & Hugs Dies, I cut the hearts from a panel of Petal Pink. I adhered the Petal Pink panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the hamster image from the Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image using Crumb Cake and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Hearts & Hugs Dies.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the image out using the Hearts & Hugs Dies. I adhered the hamster image to the Petal Pink panel below the die cut hearts, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment banner across the hamster using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends and a Glue Dot in the center. I added some of the die cut hearts to the banner using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered some of the die cut hearts on either side of the sentiment using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Summer Splash card base.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the heart image from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set in Calyp0so Coral Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

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! Citrus Blooms for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Cling Stamp Set along with the Stylish Shapes Dies and Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Mediterranean Blooms DSP to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the single orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a panel of Garden Green using the largest banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the banner in half using Paper Snips. On the top of the banner, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the 2 banner pieces to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimemsionals. I added a few Opal Rounds Assortment.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower images from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the images using Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Mediterranean Blooms DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Mediterranean Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Filled With Fun Hello

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be at work again all day today. I finally have tomorrow off, so I’m hoping to play catch up.

Today’s card features an Online Exclusive set along with a new set from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Filled with Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the new Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a pane of Azure Afternoon to the card front using Liquid Glue. I then adhered a panel of Balmy Blue to the card front using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flower image from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Azure Afternoon above the flower image. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Balmy Bue, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to an Azure Afternoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Azure Afternoon 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (retiring April 30th), around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I embossed the envelope flap using the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

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.

These are the final few days to sign up for my 2024-2025 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares.

My 2024-2025 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share and Ribbon share from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 1st. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of May 13th. You can order just the DSP share or just the ribbon share or you can order both.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $63.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share and Ribbon share from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 1st. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of May 13th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 1 creativestampungdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! adventurous Sky Cling Stamp Set along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both of these items will be available starting next Wednesday May 1st.

Here is our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 2 creativestampungdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel Take to the Sky DSP to a Copper Clay mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 3 creativestampungdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Take to The Sky DSP to Boho Blue mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 4 creativestampungdesigns.com

On a panel of Boho Blue, I stamped the smallest airplane and sentiment from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment between the other 2 panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots (retiring April 30th) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 5 creativestampungdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the largest cloud image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I stamped the cloud image again on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 6 creativestampungdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large cloud image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the smallest plane image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper clay ink above the clouds. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the envelope flap.
