Good Wednesday morning all my fellow stampers. We’re half way through the week already. Hope you are all having a great one.
For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up Abstract Impressions Bundle. Did you know if you purchase the Bundle (Stamp Set and Thinlits Dies) you get 10% off? Who doesn’t like to save some money? I know I sure do. Purchasing this bundle you are just about to your $50 to earn a free Sale-A-Bration item and who doesn’t like FREE?
Here’s my card for today. Take a look.
For this card, the measurements are a little different then my normal cards. The measurements are below. Using my Big Shot, I started by cutting out the beautiful corner floral piece from the Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies in So Saffron cardstock. I adhered the die cut to a So Saffron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a Whisper White panel, using my Stamparatus, I stamped the Thank You sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Abstract Impressions stamp set in Shaded Spruce, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody Inks. I then stamped the watermark behind each sentiment in Soft Sea Foam, Powder Pink and So Saffron Inks. I was able to get everything lined up perfectly by using the Stamparatus and hinging down to repeat each sentiment, (hope that made sense). I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night Of Navy mat using Snail.
I adhered a double bow using Night Of Navy Medium Bakers Twine below the sentiments. I adhered the artwork to the So Saffron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I adhered a piece of Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper to the right side of the card base. I stamped the flowers from the Abstract Impressions stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamped off once, Soft Sea Foam Ink, Petal Pink Ink and Calypso Coral Ink along the bottom of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the So Saffron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I adhered a panel of the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper to the inside left of the card base using Snail.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the flowers from the Abstract Impressions stamp set along the bottom front of the envelope the same way I did for the inner liner. I adhered a piece of Garden Impressions DSP to the envelope flap.

Product List
Here is what I came up with for this Sketch and Thank you Challenge. Take a look.
I started with a Calypso Coral card front and using my Big Shot I embossed it with the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up Bee Thankful stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image in using my Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. To get the shading on the thanks, I first colored with my Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker. I then colored the bottom with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker and then blended it with my Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered the artwork to a Granny Apple Green mat using Snail. I adhered a piece of the Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Organdy Ribbon across the bottom of the artwork. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the so much sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Big Thank You stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the ends on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it below the artwork using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Granny Apple Green Glitter Enamel Dot to the small strip.
