Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet CAS

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and only 3 days till Christmas. I haven’t wrapped a thing, let alone shopped. My husband has done a lot of the shopping for us this year, I’m just not feeling up to it.

I have a quick fun card today using product from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Every once in a while, I like to pull things out I haven’t played with in a bit. Here’s my card today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Back on Your Feet Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #272.

My colors are from Inspire. Create. Color Challenge #106.

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and adhering it to a Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of In Good Taste DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom. I immediately sprinkled it with my white embossing powder from the Embossing Powder Basics and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal. I colored a piece of White Bakers Twine using my Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends Marker. Once it was dry, I wrapped it around the layered panel and tied a small bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sloth image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a couple Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the turtle image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the sloth image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Hello Fun Fold Card

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? Hope you are having a productive one.

Today’s card is another one that we made at our team meeting on Sunday. This card was designed by Mary Deatherage. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Beauty of Friendship Bundle along with the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by folding the Old Olive card base in half as a normal book fold card. I then folded the front panel back on the score line. I adhered the small section together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 panels of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to Misty Moonlight mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 panels to the card base using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the splotch image from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once, on the small Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Beautiful Trees Dies, I cut the large tree image from a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP and trimmed the bottom with my Paper Snips so that it would fit on the card front. I cut the solid tree top die from a panel of Old Olive cardstock. I cut the detailed treetop die from a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP. I cut the bird die from a scrap of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I first adhered the solid treetop to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tree trunk die using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the detailed tree die on top using small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a small panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies. I threaded a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack through the tag and tied a small bow. I adhered the tag to the treetop using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bird to the tag using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Bumblebee Trinkets to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the small tree trunk image on the side of the panel in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the small solid treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Old Olive Ink. I stamped the detailed treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once, around the tree. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Old Olive card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set the same as I did for the card 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 the card designed by Mary and will give it a try. This is another super simple fun fold card that can be used in many ways. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend!! Hope you have some fun plans. I’m working today, but tomorrow is my team meeting via zoom. I always look forward to my meetings. 1- I get to take the day off from both jobs and 2- I get to see a lot of my team members in person and always have a lot of fun ‘getting together’ with them.

I have a CAS card for you today that we made at my class on Tuesday night. I thought this would be a great way to show the ladies how to use some of our beautiful Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Bundle along with the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Cinnamon Cider card base. I adhered a smaller panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Cinnamon Cider mat and adhered the layered panel to the card front.

On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Harvest Dies I adhered a piece of the Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim to the card front and adhered the sentiment over the top of the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, and cut the image out using my Beautiful Leaves Dies. I adhered the bird to the end of the sentiment using a Glue Dot and a Stampin’ Dimensional.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, above the sentiment. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Early Espresso mat and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Seascape Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Hope you’re doing something fun. I’ll be at the dog bakery today. Hopefully it will be a nice day and a lot of dogs will come in to visit and buy treats.

Today’s card my sons girl friend asked me to make. She needed a masculine birthday card with fish. Here’s what I came up with.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seascape Bundle along with the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper and the Diorama Dies.

I played along with TGIF Challenge #326.

I started by adhering a panel of the Expressions In Ink DSP to a Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the larger fish image from the Stampin’ Up! Seascapes Cling Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink a couple times on the DSP panel.

I stamped the school fish image from the Seascapes stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the Shaded Spruce panel and Pear Pizzazz Ink on the Pear Pizzazz panel of cardstock. I cut the panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and the panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the Layering Diorama Dies (cutting the shaded spruce with the larger one). I adhered the Shaded Spruce panel on top of the Pear Pizzazz panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper I cut the large fish image using the Sea Life Dies. I adhered the fish to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Gold Metallic Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the seaweed image from the Seascape stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the seaweed image again in Pear Pizzazz Ink over the Shaded Spruce image. I stamped the fish image from the Seascape stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set on Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the seaweed image from the Seascape stamp set in Shaded Spruce and Pear Pizzazz Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the larger fish image from the Seascape stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Expressions In Ink DSP 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 In The Wild

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I got a lot of weeding and trimming done yesterday before the heat and humidity got really bad. I was outside before 7am so all I had to deal with were the gnats. I got my bushes and trees trimmed and a lot of weeds pulled. If only my flowers grew as easily as the weeds my gardens would look beautiful. Today I’ll be at work all day in the A/C.

Today’s card is made with another one of the sale DSP’s and an older stamp set. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set along with the In The Wild Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #494.

I started by adhering a panel of In The Wild DSP to an Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a smaller panel of In The Wild DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I adhered the sentiment to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I fussy cut one of the cheetah images from the In The Wild DSP using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the In The Wild 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. Don’t forget that the DSP sale is going on right now and you can save 15% on select packs. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Sympathy

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends and Happy Independence Day!! Hope you have some fun plans for today. I’m having a relaxing day at home, no plans here.

Today’s card is a similar design that I did this past week, I just change the image and paper a little. This is one we will probably be making at my class on Tuesday night. I had one person ask for a nautical card, one ask for a sympathy and one ask to use a specific stamp set. So I used all 3 suggestions in 1 card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Night of Navy cardstock I stamped the sentiment form the Sailing Home stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the 3rd from the smallest Stitched Rectangle Dies, with the sentiment on the very bottom. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 3rd from the smallest Stitched Rectangle Die. I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. Using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers, I added a little color around the lighthouse image. I added a little color for the sand on the bottom of the image using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the anchor image from the Sailing Home stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Gray Granite Ink and cut the image out using my Smooth Sailing Dies. I cut the helm die from the Smooth Sailing Dies, from a scrap of In Good Taste DSP and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a silver Metallic Pearl to the center of the helm. I threaded a piece of Gray Granite Bakers Twine, from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack, through the top of the anchor and wrapped it around the card front and tied a knot in the back. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the compass image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the anchor image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on top of the compass image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite 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 Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the compass image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on the envelope front and the anchor image in Gray Granite Ink on top of the compass. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Hope you all enjoy your 4th of July festivities and if you have off tomorrow, enjoy your day off. Happy Stamping!!

I cut a panel of Soft Suede cardstock using the 4th from the smallest Stitched Rectangle Die.

I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the tree top image from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set in Old Olive Ink on top of the branches. I stamped the ground image in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off once, on either side of the bottom of the tree trunk. I adhered the panel to the card front overlapping the Soft Suede panel, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the card front twice and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the tree image from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel.

Stampin’ Up! Better Places In The Wild for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend yet? Anyone doing anything special for Father’s Day? My husband has to work. He doesn’t usually work on weekend, but of course this weekend he does. I believe I’ll be at work both days too.

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 sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Better Places Host Cling Stamp Set for my card, but most of my card is In The Wild Designer Series Paper.

I started by cutting the front panel of my card base from the 4 1/4″ fold line down at 1 1/4″ on each side. I adhered a 5 1/4″ piece of a Window Sheet along the bottom of the card front connecting the 2 side panels using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 2 panels of In The Wild DSP to 2 Soft Succulent mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to the 2 side panels of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (over the top of the Window Sheet).

I punched a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Tailored Tags Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Better Places stamp set in the center of the punch in Evening Evergreen Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 2 tigers out of a sheet of the In The Wild DSP, 1 was fussy cut the other the Big Cats Dies were used. I adhered the Cajun Craze tiger to the right front panel and the Window Sheet using Glue Dots and the Crushed Curry Tiger to the left front panel and the Window Sheet using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered 2 more panels of In The Wild DSP to 2 Soft Succulent mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to both sides of the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Crushed Curry Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the sentiment punch.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Better Places stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink towards the top of a Basic White panel. I adhered another tiger cut from the In The Wild DSP to the bottom left of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of In The Wild 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. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under this 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.

Changes To The Upcoming July-December Mini Catalog And Second Sale-a-bration


Stampin’ Up! has shared the following update with us related to the upcoming July-December Mini Catalog and second Sale-a-bration this year.  With the global shipping delays, they will be moving the start dates for those two publications back by one month.  Here are the details from Stampin’ Up!:

We’ve recently been made aware that, due to the current global shipping crisis tied to the COVID pandemic, we are not likely to receive the majority of product inventory for the upcoming July–December 2021 Mini Catalog or July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration in time for the catalog launches. After careful consideration we have decided to push the launches of both publications back by one month to allow time for inventory to be received.
 
Change Details

  • The July–December 2021 Mini Catalog will in effect become the August–December 2021 Mini Catalog (though the title of the publication will not change).
    • Demonstrator Preorder: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
    • Customer Sales Period: August 3, 2021– January 3, 2022
  • July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration will in effect become August–September 2021 Sale-A-Bration.
    • Demonstrator Pre-earn: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
    • Customer Earning Period: August 3, 2021 – September 30, 2021

I’m so happy that Stampin’ Up! made the decision to move the catalog timing back by a month in order to minimize those frustrating backorders and unavailable items!  Let me know if you have questions about this.  Can’t wait to see the upcoming Mini and Sale-a-bration Catalogs this summer!  And as always, I’ll get those catalogs mailed out to you just as quickly as I can once I get them in early July!

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. Is anyone starting to make plans?

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concept. For the next 2 weeks we have a Vacation Time challenge. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Cling Stamp Set for my card today. I was inspired by the trees in the photo and the woodgrain in the inspiration photo for my Clean and Layered card. I decided to make a card of a man vacationing and relaxing.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join us this week to play along with our challenge #157. How are you inspired by this photo?

I joined in with Always Fun Challenges #217, “Layers”.

I started by adhering a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 2 more panels of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to Early Espresso mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal and the ‘tree’ panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Ivory, Pool Party and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Hippo & Friends Dies. From a panel of Early Espresso cardstock I cut the next size larger Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from A Good Man stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the sentiment twice and tied a knot. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from A Good Man stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the image from A Good Man stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Hats Off Father’s Day

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Hope you all enjoy your shortened week if you have one.

Today’s card is the last card we made at my Stamp Camp card class last night. Everyone seemed to have a good time and left with some very handsome cards. For the last one I got a little harder, by not too hard. When my daughter saw this card she asked if it could be hers to give my husband for Father’s Day. I told her yes and she picked the inside sentiment. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hats Off Bundle for my card today along with the retiring Well Suited Designer Series Paper.

I played along with The Spot challenge #164Let’s Hear It For The Boys.

I started by adhering a panel of the Well Suited DSP to a Basic Gray card front on an angle using Stampin’ Seal. Using my Paper Snips, I trimmed off the DSP that was hanging over the card front. I adhered the card front to a Merry Merlot card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Merry Merlot cardstock I stamped the hat image from the Stampin’ Up! Hats Off Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the hat out using my Hat Builder Dies. On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the #1 image from the Hats Off stamp set in Basic Gray Ink and cut it out using my Hat Builder Dies. I adhered it to the hat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the hat to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few silver Metallic Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I cut the small hat out from the Hat Builder Dies from the panel of Merry Merlot cardstock and adhered it by the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Merry Merlot card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I stamped the hat image from the Hats Off stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White Medium Envelope front. I stamped the ‘DAD’ sentiment from the Hats Off stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the hat. I adhered a panel of Well Suited 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!!
