Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week been? The weekend is right around the corner, I hope you are starting to make some fun plans.
For today I have a quick and easy card for you, despite the layers. These cards unfortunately I always like to have on hand. Here’s my card.

My card played along with a few challenges today. I joined in with TGIF Color Challenge #228. Here are their colors.

I played along with Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #522. Here is their sketch.

I also played along with Inspire. Create. Theme Challenge #051. Here is their theme.

I started by embossing a panel of Merry Merlot cardstock with my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Merry Merlot card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of Merry Merlot Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Very Vanilla mat using Snail. I adhered the matted DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Woven Heirlooms Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the scroll image from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink on the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the sentiment panel to a Very Vanilla mat using Snail. I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored 2 Rhinestone Basic Jewels using my Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blend Marker and adhered them to the scroll image.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the scroll images from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink around the Very Vanilla panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Merry Merlot card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.


To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I adhered a panel of the Merry Merlot Neutrals 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap and the front of the envelope.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Product List


























































































I made a bow from the Old Olive Linen Thread and adhered it to the side of the label using a Glue Dot. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Lasting Lily stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Whisper White panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Old Olive mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the lily’s from the Lasting Lily stamp set the same as I did for the card front on the front of the envelope.












I started with a Whisper White card front. I took a scrap piece of paper and cut a circle out for a stencil. I put the stencil where I wanted it on my card front and sponged inside the circle using first my So Saffron Ink then my Daffodil Delight Ink. Once I was happy with the results, I removed the paper. I stamped the image from Enjoy Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink over the sun. I stamped the butterfly from the same stamp set above the floral image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
I stamped the ‘With Love & Sympathy” sentiment from the Stampn’ Up Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the card front. I wrapped a piece of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon around the card front and tied a knot.
I adhered the card front to a Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.






I started with a Wood Textures Designer Series Paper card front and adhered it to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a Whisper White panel, using my Stamparatus, I stamped the stems from the Stampin’ Up Lasting Lily stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the leaf in Mint Macaron Ink on the stem on the right. I then stamped the Lily’s from the same set in Powder Pink Ink onto the stems. All the stamping of these flowers I used my Stamparatus, it made it much easier to line everything up. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Powder Pink mat using Snail. I wrapped a Mint Macaron piece of Nature’s Twine around the bottom of the artwork.
I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Lasting Lily stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I cut the oval out using my Big Shot and my Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Using the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and my Big Shot again, I cut the Powder Pink scalloped oval mat. I adhered the Stitched oval to the Powder Pink mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered it to the artwork and card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel to the sentiment oval.
On the inside Whisper White panel I stamped the Lily image again from the Lasting Lily stamp set the same as I did for the card front, but stamping off once. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set over the lilies in Mint Macaron Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Powder Pink mat using Snail and then to the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.








I started with a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock for the card base. I stamped the small leaf image from Rooted in Nature in Cajun Craze Ink on the card front. I then adhered a piece of Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper to the right side of the card front using Snail.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the image of one of the trees. To get the 2 colors I colored the stamp using my Soft Suede and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Write Markers. I then sponged a little Mint Macaron on the bottom of the white paper to make it look like grass. Using Snail I adhered it to a Grapefruit Grove mat. I attached it to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the smaller leaf image 3 times, once each in Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron Inks. I then cut the leaf images out using the Nature’s Roots Framelit Dies with my Big Shot. I attached them to the top left of my center piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a bow made from Linen Thread to the bottom of my 3 leaves using a Glue Dot.
On the inside Whisper White panel, I stamped the small leaf image multiple times using Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron Inks. Some of the images are full strength and some are stamped off. No sentiment was added so that the card could be used for any occasion. I adhered the panel using Snail to a Grapefruit Grove mat. Using Liquid Glue I adhered it to the card base.
To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope by stamping the small leaf image in Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron Inks, stamping off once, around the edges of the envelope.
