Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? I had to work both days, but I have today off, YAY!! Today is my fur babies birthday, she turned 12. I thought I’d share a couple pictures of her with you. She was my mother’s day gift 12 years ago, and the best gift I ever received. Her name is Jasmine. The 1st one is the day I got her, she was about 10 weeks old and the last one is recent. She’s gotten a little grey, but still acts like a puppy at times. She is definitely a mommy’s girl. Thanks for letting me share.
Onto today’s card. Tomorrow night we’re having our monthly card class. We’re planning on making 4 Easter/Spring cards. Here is one of the cards we’re going to make.
The colors in my card were inspired by Just Add Ink Challenge #494. Here are their color. I absolutely love these colors together, so soft and springy.
I also played along with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #260. Here is their theme.
I started by embossing a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the Stone 3D Embossing Folder which you can earn as a bundle with a qualifying order from Sale-A-Bration. This embossing folder is one I’m really hoping carries over to the next Annual Catalog, it’s one of my favorites. I took my Soft Sea Foam stamp pad and gently wiped it across the embossed panel shading the raised parts. I then took my Smoky Slate stamp pad and gently wiped that across the panel. I adhered the embossed panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered it to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the large outline flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Iris Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the flower fill image from the Inspiring Iris stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the outlined image. I stamped the leaf fill image from the Inspiring Iris stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink over the outlined image. I was able to get everything lined up so perfectly using my Stamparatus. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut a small panel of Smoky Slate cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies that was the same size as my rectangle. I adhered the artwork to the Smoky Slate mat on an angle using Glue Dots and adhered it to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a small piece of Petal Pink 1/4″ Metallic Edge Ribbon which I tied in a knot to the artwork using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the artwork.
On a thin strip of Petal Pink cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Wish For Everything Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flower fill image from the Inspiring Iris stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the sentiment. I stamped the leaf fill image from the Inspiring Iris stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink below the flower image. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the outline flower image from the Inspiring Iris stamp set on the envelope front in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the flower fill image from the Inspiring Iris stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the outlined image. I stamped the leaf fill image from the Inspiring Iris stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink over the outlined image. I adhered a Soft Sea Foam panel of Subtle 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!!
