Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers.Can you believe that Christmas is 2 weeks from today? I really need to get moving. After work today and after getting my stitches out, I will be starting my marathon baking. I start by mixing all my cookie doughs tonight and tomorrow, then I bake continuously all day Friday and Saturday. Not sure how many different kinds I will be making this year yet, I kind of decide as I go. The past few years it’s been around 25 or 26 different ones. Time will tell.
For today I have another card that we made this past Sunday at our in person team meeting. The card was designed by my Team Leader Amy and one of our team members Sue. This card uses the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Bundle available January 3, 2020 from the New January-June Mini Catalog. Here’s my card.
I started by stamping the large splatter image from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the front of the Flirty Flamingo card base. Some were stamped in full strength and some were stamped off. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set on the bottom right of the card base in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
On a panel of Thick Whisper White cardstock I stamped the small floral image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the image twice, once slightly off the panel to the left and the second time as close to the first as you can without overlapping. I stamped the small splatter image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Old Olive Ink along the lower part of the stems, stamping twice before reinking. I stamped the large splatter image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink across the flowers stamping off once. I stamped the small splatter image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink across the flowers, stamping twice before reinking.
Using the Painted Labels Dies I cut the lacy scalloped strip twice from the 1 1/2″ X 3″ strip of Old Olive cardstock. I adhered the scallop strips to the bottom of the artwork, overlapping in the center so that they fit end to end using Snail. I adhered the 1/2″ strip of Old Olive cardstock to the top of the artwork using Snail. I wrapped a piece of Whisper White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the artwork and tied a bow. I adhered the artwork to the Flirty Flamingo card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and artwork.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the small floral image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink along the bottom of the panel twice. I stamped the colors on the image the same as I did for the artwork. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small floral image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the front of the envelope and the envelope flap. I stamped the colors on the image the same as I did for the artwork.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card. The stamp sets and dies used for today’s card will be available January 3, 2020 from the New Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

I stamped the apple image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink twice on a Whisper White panel. I colored the images in using my Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I punched the apples out using my Apple Builder Punch. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the Whisper White panel. I colored them in using my Crumb Cake and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I punched the stems and leaves out using my Apple Builder Punch and adhered them to the apple using Glue Dots. Using my Gathered Leaves Dies I cut out a Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Shaded Spruce leaves. I adhered a woodgrain panel of Come To Gather Designer Series Paper to the front of the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves along the bottom of the card front, avoiding the right folded edge, using Glue Dots. I adhered the apples on top of the leaves using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
