Stampin’ Up We’ll Walrus Be Friends Birthday Card

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has everyone’s week started out? I can’t believe that August is here already.  This summer is flying by way too fast for me.

For today I have  a cute birthday card for you using the Stampin’ Up We’ll Walrus Be Friends Cling Stamp Set.  Here’s my card

My card played along with Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #399.  Here is their sketch.

I started by embossing a Seaside Spray card front using the High Seas 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the card front to a Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped 3 different walrus images from the We’ll Walrus Be Friends stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on 3 squares of Whisper White cardstock.  I colored them all in using my Curmb Cake and Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the 3 pieces of artwork to 3 Seaside Spray mats using Snail.  I adhered the 3 matted artwork squares to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the We’ll Walrus Be Friends stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a small strip of Whisper White cardstock.  I adhered the sentiment strip to a Seaside Spray mat using snail and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped another one of the walrus images from the We’ll Walrus Be Friends stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel in Crumb Cake Ink stamping off twice.  I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthday’s Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on top of the stamped off image.  I stamped a couple of the walrus images from We’ll Walrus Be Friends stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the top 2 corners of the Whisper White panel and colored them in using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped one of the walrus images from the We’ll Walrus Be Friends stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card.  I stamped 3 of the walrus images from the We’ll Walrus Be Friends stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope flap and colored them in the same as I did for the card.

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

Stampin’ Up Painted Harvest Triple Time Thank You

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers.  How was everyone’s weekend?  Did anyone do anything fun?  I actually had a really fun day at work Saturday.  The group that I work with are always a lot of fun.  As busy as it was with our bucket sale going on, we laughed and had a really good time which made the day fly by.  Sunday I was able to get some crafting time in, which is always relaxing for me.

For today’s card I used the Triple Time Technique for you  Here’s my card.

My card played along with the Color Throwdown Challenge #554.  Here are their colors.

I started by layering the 3 Whisper White panels of cardstock together with the tiniest amount of Snail just so that they would stay in place while I was stamping.  I first stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up New Wonders Host Exclusive Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the smallest Whisper White panel.   I then stamped the 1st part of the sunflower from the Stampin’ Up Painted Harvest Photopolymer Stamp Set randomly around using Real Red Ink that I stamped off once.  I then stamped the 2nd part of the flower from the Painted Harvest stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on top of the 1st part of the flower.

I stamped all the centers of the flowers from the Painted Harvest stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink.  I stamped the seed image from the Painted Harvest stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink in the center of each flower.  I stamped the 1st part of the leaf image from the Painted Harvest stamp set in Old Olive Ink randomly around the layered panels.  I stamped the 2nd part of the leaf image from the Painted Harvest stamp set in Old Olive Ink on top of the 1st image stamping off once.  I carefully took the panels apart and adhered the small and medium one to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Snail.  I adhered all the layered panels together, making sure to line up the flowers and leaves, using Snail.

I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the card front 3 times and tied a knot.  With another piece of Linen Thread I made a double bow and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot.  I colored a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels using my Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Marker and adhered them to the smallest panel.  I adhered the card front to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped a few more flowers and leaves from the Painted Harvest stamp set the same as I did for the card front on a Whisper White panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Snail and adhered it to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I did not use a sentiment on the inside so that I could write my own thank you.

To finish my card off I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Painted Harvest stamp set on the front of the envelope and the envelope flap the same as I did for the card front.

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

Stampin’ Up Seaside Notions for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
14

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Fun Fold Friday.  How was everyone’s week? Ready or not, which I’m assuming most of us are ready, the weekend is here.  Has anyone made any plans?  I’ll be at work this weekend, we’re having a bucket sale for the Children’s Miracle Network.  You make a donation by buying a bucket and almost everything you can fit in the bucket you get 20% off.   I’m sure it will be a busy weekend there.

For today’s card, I’ve seen this one done a few time using a circle.  I’ve decided to be a little different and use a square turned diamond.  Here’s my card.

My card was able to join in with a couple challenges.  First off is The Library Challenge

Next is the Stampin’ Up Only Challenge #228: New Catalog Favorites

I also played along with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #232 “Anything Goes”

I started with a Pear Pizzazz card base and scored it at 4 1/4″ and 8 1/2″.    I adhered 2 panels of Petal Pink Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the card front.  I opened my card base and placed the 2″ square die from the Layering Squares Dies on the shorter end score line having the 2 corners on the score line and cut it out.

I stamped the Coral, Seahorse and Shells from the Stampin’ Up Seaside Notions Cling Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink on scrap pieces of Thick Whisper White cardstock.  I colored everything in using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Purple Posy, Seaside Spray, Smoky Slate and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I fussy cut all the pieces out using my Paper Snips.

I wrapped a piece of Flax Ribbon around the top portion of the card front and tied a knot.  I adhered all the Coral, Shells and Seahorse where I wanted them on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a 2″ square out or Petal Pink cardstock using the Layering Squares Dies.  Using the layered square just smaller than the 2″ I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock out and stamped it with the sentiment from the Seaside Notions stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink.  I cut the scalloped square out using the Layering Squares Dies that is a hair larger that the Whisper White square out of Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  I adhered the Whisper White square to the Pear Pizzazz scalloped square using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered it to the Petal Pink square using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I lined up the cut out square with the card base area that was cut out and adhered the square to the inside section of the card base using Glue Dots.  I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the sentiment panel.

On the inside I stamped the sand and seahorse from the Seaside Notions stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink.  I stamped the sand along the bottom of the Whisper White panel stamping off once and the seahorse on the side of the panel.  I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink in the center of the Whisper White panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the front of the envelope with the sand and seahorse from the Seaside Notions stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink.  I adhered a panel of the Subtle 6 X 6 DSP 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!!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

I started with a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the script image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the top right and bottom left of the panel.  I then stamped the leaf image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the opposite sides coming out from the center.  I tore the edges all around the panel and sponged them with my Basic Gray Ink.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat using Snail.

On a panel of Petal Pink Vellum I stamped the larger daisy from the Stampin’ Up Daisy Lane Cling Stamp Set twice in Petal Pink Ink.  I stamped the smaller daisy from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Petal Pink Ink twice on the Petal Pink Vellum.  I punched all the daisies out using the Daisy Punch and the Medium Daisy Punch.  I adhered the larger daisies together using a Glue Dot and the smaller daisies together using a Glue Dot.  I adhered the smaller daisy to the larger daisy using a Stampin’ Dimensional and adhered the daisies to the center of the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional.  I added a Terracotta Tile 2019-2021 In-Color Faceted Dot to the center of the daisy.

I adhered the card front to a Terracotta Tile card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the leafy image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on both sides of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink in the center of the Very Vanilla panel.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the leaf image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the envelope front.  I stamped the script image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Petal Pink Ink 3 times across 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 Come Sail Away Home Birthday Card

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers.  We’ve made it halfway through the week and we’re almost on the downhill to the weekend.  TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF BONUS DAYS!!! PROMOTION ENDS AT 11:50PM (MT). Don’t wait any longer to take advantage of this super deal.  For every $50 order you will earn a $5 coupon to used in August.  See details below.

For today I have a pretty quick and easy card for you after all that sponging yesterday.  Here’s my card.

I started with a Night of Navy card front and adhered 2 panels of the Come Sail Away Home Designer Series Paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Using the Smooth Sailing Dies, I cut out the rope image from a scrap piece of Sahara Sand cardstock.

I adhered the die cut rope across the center of the card front using Snail.  I stamped the rope image from the Stampin’ Up Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink, stamping off once, on a panel of Sahara Sand cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from the Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on top of the rope image.  I cut the sentiment out using my Layering Ovals Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the card front to a Sahara Sand card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink, stamping off once, in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink over the top of the lighthouse.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of the Come Sail Away DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!1

Stampin’ Up Sailing Home High Tide

Posted on by
18

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has your week started off?  I can’t believe we are at the end of July already.  Before you know if August will be here and the summer will almost be over.  Summer is my favorite time of the year.  It’s light out until after 8pm and it gets light earlier in the morning.  I just love the hot summer days.

For today’s card I’ve done a lot of sponging and a bit of the masking technique for you.  I’ve combined the Stampin’ Up High Tide Photopolymer Stamp Set  with the Stampin’ Up Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set.  Here’s my card.

I’ve played along with a couple challenges with my card today.  First off is the As You See It Challenge #205.  Here is their challenge.

Next I played along with the Festive Friday Challenge #0039.  Here is their challenge.

I started by stamping the sand image from the High Tide stamp set in Crumb Cake and Petal Pink Inks on the bottom of a Whisper White panel.  I added the seagrass image from the High Tide stamp set on the beach I created.  Next I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on top of the sand.  I stamped the lighthouse again on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock in Sahara Sand Ink and cut it out using the Smooth Sailing Dies and set it aside.

I stamped the light beam image from the High Tide stamp set in So Saffron Ink coming out from the top of the lighthouse.  I masked the lighthouse and light beam stamped images using a Post-It note that I fussy cut the images from.  I added the water image from the High Tide stamp set using Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel and Seaside Spray Inks.  I then started my sponging.  I started from the water and worked my way up.  I started with Daffodil Delight. Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie Inks.  I then continued moving up using Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather Inks and ended with Night of Navy Ink.  After I was all finished sponging the background I removed the masked images and adhered the cut out lighthouse on top of the stamped lighthouse using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the seagull image from the High Tide stamp set in Basic Gray Ink.

On a small piece of Vellum cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the High Tide stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink.  I immediately sprinkled the vellum with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.  I adhered the vellum sentiment using Glue Dots.  I adhered the artwork to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink, stamping off once, in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Well Said Cling Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink over the top of the lighthouse.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the envelope front.  I stamped the walking seagulls image from the High Tide stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front and added a little of the sand image from the High Tide stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink below the seagulls.  I stamped the flying seagulls from the High Tide stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on 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 Bloom and Grow Swirly Frame Birthday Card

Posted on by
10

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers.  How was your weekend?  I was able to get a little stamping time in, which I always love.  Just a reminder, you only have 3 days left of Bonus Days.  Don’t miss out on earning coupons to use in August.  See below for details.

For today’s card I used a new to me stamp set that my wonderful upline gave me for completing a challenge in the month of June.  It’s the Stampin’ Up Swirly Frames Photopolymer Stamp Set.  We had daily challenges to do for the whole month and I was able to complete 29 of the 30 challenges.  I’m still working on the 30th.  Here’s my card.

My card played along with a couple challenges today.  First off is Hand Stamped Challenge #319.  Here is their Sentiments Inspiration.

Next I played along with the Fab Friday Color Challenge #168.  Here are their colors.

I also played along with the Inspire. Create Challenge #48.  Theirs is a Theme Challenge.  Here is their theme.

I started by stamping the largest rectangle frame image from the Swirly Frames stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a panel of Pacific Point card front.  I immediately sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up Bloom & Grow Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out using the Budding Blooms Dies and adhered it to the side of the embossed frame image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the ‘birthday wishes’  sentiment out using the Well Written Dies from a panel of Whisper White cardstock and adhered the words inside the swirly frame using a Fine Point Glue Pen.  I then adhered the card front to a Pacific Point card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Pineapple Punch Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots to the right corner of the frame.

On the inside I stamped the smaller floral images from the Bloom & Grow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink along the bottom of a Whisper White panel.  I colored the images in using my Bermuda Bay, Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped the sentiment from the Bloom & Grow stamp set in Pacific Point Ink in the center of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the large rectangle image from the Swirly Frames stamp set in Pacific Point Ink on the envelope front so that I could write the address in the center of it.  I stamped the large floral image from the Bloom & Grow stamp set on the envelope flap and colored it in the same as I did for the card.

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

Stampin’ Up Path of Petals for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Fun Fold Friday.  The weekend is upon us already.  Has anyone made any plans for the weekend?  I’m really hoping to get in a few hours of craft time, I’m in desperate need of it.  I spent all day yesterday at the shore, it was simply gorgeous.  The air temp was perfect, not too hot, the water was a beautiful 76 degrees and I was able to relax listening to the waves crashing and the seagulls squawking.  It was high tide most of the day so it was a bit difficult finding shells and sea glass.  The ocean was actually very rough, it knocked my daughter right off her feet and she went tumbling in the waves.  She’s fine, just a little bruised up and it knocked the wind out of her.

Onto today’s card.  I have another Z-Fold card for you, but this time it’s turned around.  Here’s my card.

I started by scoring an Old Olive card base at 5 1/2″ and 2 3/4″ to make the Z-Fold.  I adhered a panel of the gorgeous Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Path of Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set on a Very Vanilla Panel in Crumb Cake Ink.  I stamped the leafy image from the Path of Petals stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once, around the sentiment.

I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Rococo Rose mat using Snail.  I adhered the matted panel to the folded card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left side of the panel.

I adhered a panel of the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP to the inside right of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  This is the panel that you see when the card is closed.  On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Path of Petals stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink.  I stamped the leafy image from the Path of Petals stamp set around the sentiment in Old Olive Ink stamping off once.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside left of the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the leafy image from the Path of Petals stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP 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!!  Have a great weekend everyone.

Stampin’ Up Woven Heirlooms Laser-Cut Thinking of You

Posted on by
2

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone’s week going?  We’re around the bend to the weekend now, hope you are starting to make some fun plans.  I’m on my way to the beach for the day.  It’s suppose to be beautiful today, hopefully the sand won’t be blistering hot that we can’t even walk on it.  The beach is my ‘Happy Place’ where I can sit back and relax.  It’s one of the few places that I can actually relax just listening to the waves and seagulls.  I also get inspiration there walking along the water and searching for shells and sea glass.

So onto today’s card.  For those of you that know me, you know that I do not like fussy cutting.  It’s just something I am not good at.  I am determined to conquer this fussy cutting problem.  I did a lot of fussy cutting for my card today, right down to the tiny bee on the sentiment strip.   Here’s my card.

I used the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin for my card base today and the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper for all my artwork.  These cards are so delicate and beautiful.  I adhered a panel of Garden Green cardstock behind the laser cut panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to make the laser-cutting stand out more.

I cut the largest stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies out of Terracotta Tile cardstock.  I adhered the flowers that I had fussy cut from the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the stitched circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the butterfly that I fussy cut from the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Woven Heirlooms Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede In on a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I sponged the edges of the strip with my Garden Green Ink to soften them a little.  I adhered the bee I fussy cut from the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the corner of the sentiment strip with a tiny piece of a
Stampin’ Dimensional.  I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the bottom with the grudge image from the Woven Heirloom stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Terracotta Tile mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the bottom front of the envelope that comes with the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut cards with the grudge image from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink.  I adhered a panel of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.

Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Bloom and Grow Quick and Easy Card

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone doing today?  I got a sneak peek at the upcoming Holiday catalog yesterday.  I’m definitely in trouble.  One of the best benefits of being a demonstrator is that you get to see the catalogs early.  Right now is the perfect time to join.  You get to purchase $155.00 worth of Stampin’ Up supplies for only $99.00 AND you receive a $10.00 coupon code to use next month for an order.  See more details below.  If you are interested in joining, please contact me for more information.

For today’s card I have a Quick and Easy card for you.  I used just the basics for my card, Stamp, Ink and Paper.  Here’s my card.

I started with a Thick Whisper White card base and adhered a panel of Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Bloom & Grow Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink.  I edged the strip using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Marker.

I adhered the sentiment strip to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the floral image from the Bloom & Grow stamp set in Pretty Peacock, stamping off 3 times, in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the Bloom & Grow stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink over the floral image.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the floral image from the Bloom & Grow stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front stamping off once.  I adhered a panel of Perennial Essence DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my Quick & Easy card and will give it a try.

Happy Stamping!!
