*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value.

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Embraced With Love Tag

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. We are having such a great time here in GA at our retreat. There’s been a lot of laughing going on along with a lot of eating. I don’t normally eat 3 meals a day, but we are all sitting down to all 3 meals. Yesterday we had a delicious blueberry French toast bake with hash browns and bacon. We had Thai pork lettuce wraps, chicken egg rolls and salt & pepper tofu for lunch and dinner we had an amazing cranberry-Dijon roast pork with mashed potatoes, seasoned asparagus and squash au gratin. Our night ended with a banana pudding desert. I’ve gotten lots of cards made that I’ll share in the next couple weeks.

I have a gift tag for you today. I made these tags to go onto little goodie bags I made all the ladies for this weekend. Here’s my tag.

Stampin' Up! Embraced With Love Tag 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Embraced With Love Cling Stamp Set along with the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Greetings of The Season Dies for my tag today.

Stampin' Up! Embraced With Love Tag 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the image from Embraced With Love stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Cut the image out using the largest tag from the Greetings of the Season Dies. Color the quilt using Blackberry Bliss, Boho Blue, Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the sentiment from Embraced With Love stamp set in Versamark Ink on the top of the panel. Sprinkle it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Add a Neutral Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the tag.

Stampin' Up! Embraced With Love Tag 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut a panel of Copper Clay using the largest tag from the Greetings of the Season Dies. Emboss the die cut tag using the Cute Crochet EF. Adhere the 2 tags together using a Glue Dot. Thread a piece of 2023 – 2025 In-Color Jute Trim through the 2 holes and tie a bow.

Stampin' Up! Embraced With Love Tag 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the tag to a goodie bag using a piece of Tear & Tape. I gave everyone a bag full of chocolates, because we all love our chocolate, along with a hand cream since out hands dry out so much creating with paper.

Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Tag Card

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ve got less than 3 weeks before I leave on a family vacation. I am so looking forward to the vacation and going away with my family.

Who out there likes Hot Apple Cider and Apple Cider Donuts? I always look forward to going apple picking in the fall not only for the fresh apples, but to get some apple cider donuts at the end. Anyone who knows me, knows I do not like donuts, and they don’t like me. There’s something about apple cider donuts that I love, and they like me too. Today’s card really got me in the mood for those donuts. This bundle from the mini catalog caught my eye the day I got to view the catalog and was the first one on my list to get. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn Tag 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Bundle along with the Greetings of the Season Dies and Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design came from Sunday Stamps Challenge #344 – Put A Bow On It.

Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn Tag 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal. Wrap a piece of the Pecan Pie 3/8″ Center Striped Ribbon around the layered panel and adhere it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn Tag 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the largest Greetings of the Season Dies, cut a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink on the bottom of the tag. From a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP, cut the cup die from the More Than Autumn Dies. Stamp the center of the cup image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a scrap of Basic Beige. Stamp the apple image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo black Ink on the cup band. Color the image using Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the band using Paper Snips. Adhere the band to the die cut cup using Glue Dots. Adhere the cup to the tag using Glue Dots. Adhere the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn Tag 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the donut image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the Small Blending Brush, add Pecan Pie Ink to the donut. Wipe with a tissue to remove the excess ink from the embossed areas. Stamp the cinnamon stick image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie on the panel. Color the image using Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the donut and cinnamon stick using the More Than Autumn Dies. Adhere the donut to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the cinnamon stick using a tiny amount of Liquid Glue. Add a few Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots to the tag. Tie a small bow using the Pecan Pie 3/8″ Center Striped Ribbon and adhere it to the top of the tag using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn Tag 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiments from More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the cup and cinnamon stick images from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the apple from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the cup band. Color the image using Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn Tag 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the cup and cinnamon stick image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the apple on the band in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans do you have for the weekend? I’ll be working all day today and after work one of my cashiers invited all the employees to her house for a company picnic.

I have a quick and easy card for you today using a suite from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and new dies coming July 3rd from the Online Exclusives. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and the new Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Dies, that will be available starting July 3rd, for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to a Calypso Coral card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Calypso Coral using the largest die from the Greetings of the Season Dies. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the tag. I tied a small bow using White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack on the top of the tag. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dots to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Peach Pie Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel of Basic White to a Peach Pie mat then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch

Good Monday morning stamping friends, Happy Monday. I hope you’re ready for a new week. Did everyone have a nice weekend?

I played with the new masks again from the upcoming September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. I’m really liking playing with these. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (available Sept 6) and Tailor Made Tags Dies for m y card today.

My design is from the Freshly Made Sketches #599.

My colors are from The Color Throwdown Countdown #756.

I joined in with the Double “D” Challenges Sunflowers.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks for the card front. I used number 1-4 to build the sunflower images. With mask #1 I used Pumpkin Pie Ink and my Blending Brush applying a light color. I used Pumpkin Pie Ink again with the Small Blending Brush and added a darker color for the center of the petals. With Mask #2 I used Garden Green Ink, mask # 3 I used Crumb Cake Ink and mask #4 I used Pecan Pie Ink, using my Blending Brushes for all of them.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the card front to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pumpkin Pie card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Grden Green Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the largest Tailored Made Tags Dies. I colored a piece of White Baker’s Twine using my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I threaded the twine through the tag and tied a bow. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the brown Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks for the inside coloring them the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks for the envelope front and flap coloring them the same as I did for the card front.

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

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Thank You

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. It’s a rainy one here. I’ll be at the dog bakery all day today, and with the rain, very few pups come in.

Today’s card I was just having fun playing with the suite. The possibilities are endless with this suite. I might have a couple more to share over the next week with you. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 1 creativestampungdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along withe the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 2 creativestampungdesigns.com

I started by randomly stamping the branch image from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink on a Gray Granite card front, some stamped full strength, some stamped off. I adhered the stamped panel to a Pretty Peacock card base. On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the small vase image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the image out using the Earthen Textures Dies. Using the Earthen Textures Dies, I cut 2 of the trellis from a panel of Basic White and the grass and tall vase from a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 3 creativestampungdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall branch image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set twice in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the branch image. I adhered the 2 trellis die cuts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tall vase to the left of the stamped image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the small vase below the stamped image overlapping the tall vase using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the grass die in the small vase using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat. I adhered 2 pieces of 1/4″ Petal Pink ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack to the card front. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 4 creativestampungdesigns.com

On a strip of Petal Pink cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Glue Dot and Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 5 creativestampungdesigns.com

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are making some fun plans. I’ll be working all day today and I have this feeling that it is going to be busy. Today is our annual Children’s Miracle Network Promotion. Customers donate $5, get a 5-gallon bucket and almost anything they can fit into that bucket they get 20% off of. Good deal and a lot of people look forward to it.

I have a CAS Christmas card today using a set from the Annual Catalog along with some Sale-a-bration DSP that is still available. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

My CAS card today features the Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Lights Aglow 6 X 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Silver & Gold 6 X 6 Sale-a-bration Specialty Paper.

My design is from Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #354.

My colors are from Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #178 Black+White +1 Other Colour. I used Gold for my additional color.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Silver & Gold DSP to a panel of Gold Foil Paper. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Trimming the Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder from my Metallic Embossing Powder. I set it using my Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the sentiment out using the Designer Tags Dies. I cut a panel of Lights Aglow DSP using the same Designer Tags Dies. I cut the tag partially then moved the die down on the paper and cut it from the other side to make the tag longer. I threaded a piece of Gold Simply Elegant Trim through the tags and knotted them off. I adhered the tags to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment and bow image from the Trimming the Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink on a Basic White panel. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I adhered a strip of the Lights Aglow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Lights Aglow DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Go To Greeting Tag Fun Fold

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything special for Father’s Day? We surprised my husband with an unexpected gift yesterday. My husband is a big Formula 1 fan. He loves watching the races. He’s not an oval or round track fan, he likes all the turns. There’s a place in south Jersey that he can go and drive a racecar on a racetrack. I booked a full package for him. He will get to drive with an experienced driver at high speeds, then he gets to drive a Farari with a passenger around the track. I’ll be in the pit watching lol. I did get the video and picture package too so I can see it later. I think he’s a bit excited about it. We’ll be going the end of August.

Before I get started with my card, I just wanted to remind everyone that TOMORROW is the day for Stampin’ Up! Free Shipping.

Today’s card is a quick one even though it’s a fun fold. There’s not much stamping going on today. I played with some new dies that I’ve had but haven’t played with yet. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set along with the Designer Tags Dies and Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the front of the Orchid Oasis card base. Using the largest Designer Tags Die and the detailed flower die, I cut a panel of Orchid Oasis cardstock. Using the same large tag die, I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the White tag to the back of the detailed Orchid Oasis tag. I trimmed the bottom of the tag using my Paper Trimmer.

I colored a piece of the 3/8″ Metallic Edge Cotton Ribbon using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. Once it was dried, I threaded the ribbon through the top of the tag and tied it off. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Sweet Sorbet cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I snipped the one end into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a Basic White panel. I cut the sprig using the Designer Tags Dies from a panel of Garden Green cardstock and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the left of the inside of the card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Tea Boutique 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Tag Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s weekend started off? I’m at work today and it’s expected to be a busy one. Anytime you give free stuff away it’s busy.

Today’s card is one we made at our team meeting Sunday. This one was actually a tag designed by one of our brilliant team members Mary Deatherage. I turned the tag into a card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Bundle.

I started by embossing a Misty Moonlight card front using the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the wildflower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Just Jade Ink, stamping off once, in the center of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink towards the bottom of the panel over the wildflower image. I cut the top of the panel using my Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I threaded a piece of 1/4″ Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color Ribbon through the top of the tag and using a piece of Misty Moonlight/Silver twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack I tied a bow around the ribbon to secure it.

I stamped the butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the butterfly in using my Mint Macaron and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Brilliant Wings Dies. I cut a detailed butterfly using my Brilliant Wings Dies from a panel of Vellum cardstock and adhered just the body of the vellum butterfly to the body of the stamped butterfly using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the butterfly to the tag using Glue Dots. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 6 Metallic Pearls to the butterfly body.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the wildflower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Just Jade Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the wildflower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Just Jade Ink on either side of the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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