Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
16

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 my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden Cling Stamp Set along with the Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of the Ever Eden DSP to an Evening Evergreen card base. I adhered a smaller panel of the Ever Eden DSP to a Gold Foil mat and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I made my own background paper by stamping the leaf images from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent Inks randomly on the panel. I adhered the panel to a Gold Foil mat which I cut using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Soft Succulent cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Eden’s Garden stamp set and cut it our using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Garden Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent Inks on a Basic White panel. I randomly stamped the leaf images from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent Inks around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf images from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Evening Evergreen & Soft Succulent Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Ever Eden 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 all our projects today.

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the last day of November!! One more month in 2021, hope it’s a good one. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope you have a productive one ahead.

I have a very Quick and Easy, Clean and Simple card for you today. For those who haven’t even started your holiday cards yet, today’s is one you can make a whole bunch in no time flat. You just let the DSP do all the work for you like I did. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin Cling Stamp Set along with the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I played along with the CAS On Friday Challenge #219. There theme is Winter.

Cards go together so quick and easy when you let the DSP do all the work for you. I adhered a panel of Peaceful Place DSP to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the panel and immediately sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder. I set it using my Heat Tool.

I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and my card is done.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the trio of trees from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the trio of trees from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Peaceful Place DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin CAS Monochromatic

Posted on by
4

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Hope your week started out well. We have a rain day here. My daughters classes actually got cancelled last night because of the amount of rain and flash floods we’re suppose to have. Last night was a lot of thunderstorms, which I just love to listen to, as long as I’m inside.

Today I have another CAS card which is super simple. I let the Designer Series Paper do all the work for me. Stampin’ Up! has some of the most beautiful DSP and I love to just let it shine all on it’s own. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin Cling Stamp Set along with the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Peaceful Place spec. DSP to a Thick Basic White card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I adhered some of the Silver Simply Elegant Trim to the card front using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Peaceful Place spec. DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky slate mat and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Peaceful Place 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 CAS card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin Watercolor

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I worked on Saturday, but was lucky to have Sunday off. It started out a beautiful autumn day, until the rain started.

Today’s card is another CASE’d card from my upline Jaimie, similar to the one I showed yesterday using my Water Painters. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin Cling Bundle along with my Water Painters for my card today.

I started with a panel of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper card front and one of my acrylic blocks. Using my Ink Refills, I put a drop of Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Mint Macaron on the block. Making sure my largest Water Painter was really wet I lifted some of the Evening Evergreen Ink and brushed it across the Watercolor paper. I did the same with the Soft Succulent Ink and the Mint Macaron Ink, blending the inks together in between them. I used my Heat Tool on setting #1 to dry the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink above the brushed ink on an angle. I adhered a panel of Mint Macaron card stock to an Evening Evergreen card base on an angle.

Using the 3rd largest scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies, I cut the inked panel. I cut a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock using the 4th largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. From a panel of Basic White cardstock I cut the 3rd largest circle using the Layering Circles Dies. I cut the tree die from my Cabin Dies from the Basic White circle. I adhered the Mint Macaron circle to the card front over the cut area. I adhered the scalloped circle over the Mint Macaron making sure the stripes from the brushed ink lined up. I adhered the tree cut circle die over the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front over the Mint Macaron panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Soft Succulent 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the tree image from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked this version of the watercolor card and will give it a try. The Water Painters are really fun to work with and design with. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Watercolor

Posted on by
4

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ve got the day off today and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful fall day. Unfortunately my husband is sick and my daughter is going to work, so I’ll just have to stay in and make some cards. I may run a couple errands just to get out for a bit.

Today and tomorrow’s cards are a CASE from my upline Jaimie. Last week we had our monthly team meeting and she showed us a card using the Water Painters. I have to admit, since I’ve gotten all the Stampin’ Blends Markers I haven’t water colored. That was always my go to for relaxing. I changed my card up a bit from hers, but it’s basically the same. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with my Water Painters and other sets for my card today.

I started with a Shimmery White card front and one of my acrylic blocks. Using my Ink Refills, I put a drop of Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya in on the block. Making sure my largest Water Painter was really wet, you might want to have a little bowl of water handy, I lifted some of the Cajun Craze Ink and brushed it across the Shimmery White paper. I did the same with the Pumpkin Pie Ink and the Pale Papaya Ink, blending the inks together in between them. You can either let it dry on it’s own or use setting #1 on your Heat Tool to dry the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink below the brushed ink on an angle. I adhered a panel of Pale Papaya card stock to a Cajun Craze card base on an angle.

Using the 4th largest scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies, I cut the inked panel. I cut a panel of Pale Papaya cardstock using the 3rd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. From a panel of Shimmery White cardstock I cut the 4th largest circle using the Layering Circles Dies. From the Shimmery White circle I cut the leaf die using my Intricate Leaves Dies. I adhered the Pale Papaya circle to the card front over the cut area. I adhered the scalloped circle over the Pale Papaya making sure the stripes from the brushed ink lined up. I adhered the leaf cut circle die over the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front over the Pale Papaya panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pumpkin Pie rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the trio leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set on either side of the sentiment, coloring the stamp using my Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat and then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the trio leaves image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set, colored the same as I did for the card, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze from the Regals 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! Pretty Golden Pumpkins

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. My team is planning on having an all day event on Facebook for World Card Making Day on Saturday October 2nd. I’ll be posting the link by the end of the week. There will be live videos every hour on the hour along with posts all day and Prize Patrol. Come join in the fun!!!

Today’s card is a CASE’d card from one of my team members Terry Lynn. She made this gorgeous card and I asked her if I could use it for my class next Tuesday. You can see Terry Lynn’s card Here. I added my own little touches, but the basic design is all hers.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Bundle along with the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

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

I cut the detailed pumpkin image using the Detailed Pumpkins Dies from a panel of Gold Foil Paper. I cut a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Gold Foil Mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the detailed Gold Foil pumpkin to the layered panel using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a small piece of Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the leaf pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off once, to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I embossed a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it 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! Pretty Pumpkins Friendship Monochromatic

Posted on by
10

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

I have a monochromatic card for you today. It’s a little different from my multicolor cards that I usually make, but I really like the way it came out. My team leader Amy made a black and white card last week using these pumpkins and I really liked the way it looked, so I thought I’d give it a try. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Bundle along with the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Just Add Ink Challenge #568.

I started by embossing a Basic Gray card front using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of Peaceful Place Specialty DSP to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Black Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the card front and tied a bow.

Stampin’ Up! has this beautiful new Silver Foil Specialty Pack of paper with 3 different finishes in it. I cut the tall detailed pumpkin from the shiny piece using my Detailed Pumpkin Dies. I cut the smaller pumpkin from the darker panel using my Detailed Pumpkin Dies. On a panel of Smoky Slate cardstock I stamped the leafy pumpkin image from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with Black Embossing Powder from the Basic Embossing Powders and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the embossed image out using my Detailed Pumpkin Dies. I adhered the pumpkins to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals under the bakers twine.

On a panel of Smoky Slate cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front, over the bakers twine, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the card front. I adhered the card front to a Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Peaceful Place Specialty 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! Feels Like Home Fun Fold

Posted on by
18

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Hope you are able to plan some fun activities. I get to attend my virtual monthly team meeting today. It doesn’t matter in person or virtual, they are always fun.

I have a quick fun fold card for you today using 2 of the Sale-a-bration items that are available now. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home Sale-a-bration Cling Stamp Set along with the Beautifully Penned Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge #518.

I also played along with Just Us Girls Trend Week Challenge #597.

I started by adhering a panel of Beautifully Penned SAB DSP to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a strip of the Beautifully Penned SAB DSP to the side of the Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of black twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack around the side of the card front and tied a bow.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large image from the Feels Like Home SAB stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Feels Like Home SAB stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Using my Banners Pick A Punch I made it into a banner. I cut a strip of Basic Black cardstock into a panel using the Banners Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the Basic Black banner using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Black Matte Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment, flowerpot and vine images from the Feels Like Home SAB stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower pot image from the Feels Like Home SAB stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Beautifully Penned SAB 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. The stamp set and Designer Series Paper are both Sale-a-bration items that can be earned FREE with a qualifying order. I’d be happy to help you earn these items, just ask me how. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS Card

Posted on by
6

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans this weekend. Maybe even some plans just to relax and enjoy the summer. I’ll be at work all day, but I get out by 5pm so there’s still time to do something. Yesterday I got another one of my gardens finished. My niece and her 2 boys came over and helped me out. 6 bags of top soil, 19 bags of ocean pebbles and 6 hours later, it looks so much nicer. We dug out a 30 year old pine tree, with a lot of digging and cutting, then planted a couple hydrangeas. Her boys love digging out trees/bushes.

I have a clean and simple card for you today using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty Cling Stamp Set along with the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a Regals DSP card front to a Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I taped off all 4 sides of the Basic White card front using Post-It tape. Using my Blending Brush I brushed Sahara Sand Ink on the exposed panel starting from the bottom and working my way up. I kept adding ink until I got the Ombre effect that I wanted.

I removed the Post-It tape and stamped the bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the side of the inked area. I stamped the leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the bamboo, once full strength and once stamped off.

I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink next to the bamboo image. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamped off once, on either side of the panel. I stamped the leaf image in Garden Green Ink, stamped off once and twice on the bamboo images. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Regals DSP to the envelope flap.

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

July-December 2021 Mini Catalog Designer Series Paper

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on August 3 and 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 August 9.

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 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!

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $25.00 plus $5.00 for 1st Class Mail shipping

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

Double DSP Share – $50 + $7.75 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, that’s fine too.  I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet (except for the Gingerbread & Peppermint, Cute Halloween and Kraft 6″ × 6″, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).

Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home For The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

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 my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. I have a little sneak peek for you today coming from the August-December 2021 Mini Catalog that will be available August 3rd. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home Cling Stamp Set which will be a Sale-A-Bration item starting on August 3rd.

I started by stamping the large image from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the image our using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I had to adjust the size of the die by cutting part of the image, turning the panel around and moving the die matching up the stitching and cutting the other half. I adhered the artwork to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the small flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink. I colored the image in using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the bottom of the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On another panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb cake Ink. I tore the edges of the paper and sponged the rough edges using my Stamping Sponge and Crumb Cake Ink. I embossed a Crumb Cake card front using the new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (available August 3rd) and adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set on a Basic White panel. I tore the edges of the panel and sponged the edges using my Stamping Sponge and Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger image from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the small flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the envelope flap. I colored the image with my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.
