Stampin’ Up You’re Inspiring

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone doing today?  Are you just about ready for the weekend?

I have an Easter card for you today using the Stampin’ Up You’re Inspiring Stamp Set.  One of my favorite flowers this time of year is the Daffodil.  I have different colors blooming in my gardens.  I actually colored my card in today to look just like the ones in my front garden.  Here’s my card.

I joined in with Just Us Girls #481 Wild Card Week Challenge.  Here is their challenge.

I started with a Crumb Cake card front and ran it through my Big Shot using the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I adhered the card front to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the larger daffodil image from the You’re Inspiring stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the image in using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers for the throat of the daffodil.  I colored the leaves in using my Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Marker.  I adhered the artwork to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Snail.

I wrapped a piece of the Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8″ Variegated Ribbon around the artwork and tied a bow.  I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the smaller daffodil image from the You’re Inspiring stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink along the bottom of a Whisper White panel.  I colored the daffodils in the same as I did for the card front.  I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in the center of the Whisper White panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  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 larger daffodil image from the You’re Inspiring stamp set on the envelope front and the envelope flap in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them in the same as I did for the card front.

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

Stampin’ Up Postcard Pals

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone’s week going?  We’re halfway through already.

For today’s card I played with one of my favorite sets, Stampin’ Up Postcard Pals Stamp Set.  I just love the little critters in this set, it’s such a fun set.  Here’s my card.

I was also able to join in with the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge #315.  Here is their sketch.

For my card I started with a Wood Textures Designer Series Paper card front and ran it through my Big Shot using the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  It’s very hard to see in the picture, but the wood background has texture to it.  I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I ran a strip of Highland Heather cardstock through my Big Shot using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the Otter image from the Postcard Pals stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the image in using my Balmy Blue, Call Me Clover, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Poppy Parade and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out using oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.  I cut out the scalloped oval in Balmy Blue Cardstock from the Layering Oval Framelits Dies  I adhered the stitched oval to the scalloped oval using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small piece of Glossy White cardstock I did the Shaving Cream Technique using Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on the marbled paper.  I sprinkled it with my Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.  I cut the sentiment out using the smallest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and I cut the Balmy Blue scalloped oval from the Layering Oval Framelits Dies.  I adhered the stitched oval to the scalloped oval using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered it to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up Life Is Grand Stamp Set in Balmy Blue Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the otter image from the Postcard Pals stamp set on the front of the envelope and colored it in using my Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of Wood Textures 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!!

Stampin’ Up Apron Of Love Fun Fold

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has your week started off?

For today I have a Fun Fold card for you that is very easy.  I was asked to make a Birthday card for a Hair Dresser.  I had to think a little about that one and then I thought Stampin’ Up Apron Of Love Stamp Set.  I had a lot of fun making this card.

Here’s my card, take a look.

I do have to admit, I don’t own this set.  I had to borrow it from my best friends ever.  The advantage of having a friend that stamps and lives close to you is that you can share your Stampin’ Up Stamp Sets along with other Stampin’ Up products.

I started by taking a  Petal Pink card base and scoring it at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″ to make the Gate Fold card base.  I then took 2 pieces of Smoky Slate cardstock and 2 pieces of the beautiful Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.  I adhered the DSP to each of the Smoky Slate mats using Snail.  I ran them both through my Big Shot using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I adhered them to both sides of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I love all kinds of textures on a card.  It’s something you don’t always get with store-bought cards.

I then moved on to the really fun part of designing my card.  I knew I wanted an oval on the front of my card so using my Layering Ovals Framelits Dies I cut out a larger oval from the Petal Promenade DSP and a scalloped oval one size larger in Smoky Slate using my Big Shot.  I adhered the DSP oval to the scalloped oval and ran it through my Big Shot again with the Subtle DTIEF and set it aside.

I cut the apron, bow, neck piece and strings out from a piece of Petal Pink cardstock, the pockets out from a scrap of Petal Promenade DSP and the scissors out of Silver Foil Sheet using the Apron Builder Framelits and my Big Shot.  Before putting everything together, I ran the apron through my Big Shot using the Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder so that it had a quilted look. I assembled the apron using Multipurpose Liquid Glue for the neck piece and strings, a Glue Dot for the bow and Stampin’ Dimensionals for the pockets and scissors.  I added a couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the pockets and scissors.  I adhered the assembled apron to the embossed oval using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then the oval to the right card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the apron, neck piece and strings from the Apron Of Love stamp set in Petal Pink Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the scissors from the same stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink in each of the corners.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Bright Wishes Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink in the top part of the apron.  I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Stampin’ Up Well Said Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink under the sentiment.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the apron, pocket, scissors and strings on the envelope front in Petal Pink and Smoky Slate Inks.  I adhered a piece of the Petal Promenade 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!!

Stampin’ Up Half Full Birthday Card

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers and Happy April Fools Day!!.  How was everyone’s weekend?  Did anyone do anything fun?  It was the end of the month, so I had to work.

For today’s card I made a pretty quick and easy card for you using the Stampin’ Up Half Full Stamp Set.  Here’s my card.

I started with an Old Olive card front and ran it through my Big Shot with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

On a strip of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper I stamped the sentiment from the Half Full stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the grapes and the leaves in with my Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I made it into a banner using the Banner Triple Punch.  I made a smaller banner from a piece of Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I adhered both banners to the Old Olive card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I wrapped a piece of Blackberry Bliss Nature’s Twine around the card front and tied a bow.  I adhered the card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  To add a little bling, I added a few Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped two wine glasses from the Half Full stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of a Whisper White panel.  I masked the one wine glass and stamped the wine bottle from the same stamp set next to them.  I colored the wine in the glass in using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. It’s very hard to see, but I added a few Heart Epoxy Droplets above the wine glasses.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the wine glasses from the Half Full stamp set along the bottom of the envelope front and colored them in using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a piece of the Floral Romance 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!!

Stampin’ Up Painted Seasons Double Time Technique

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. I don’t usually do posts on the weekends, but I wanted to show you one last Sale-A-Bration card.  Tomorrow is your last day to order any Sale-A-Bration items.

RUN DON’T WALK TO YOUR COMPUTERS TO PLACE YOUR ORDERS.

Today’s card I used the gorgeous Distinctive Stampin’ Up Painted Seasons Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up Part Of My Story Stamp Set. I also tried the Double Time Technique for my card.  I am really going to miss this Distinctive set. Here’s my card.

The colors I used were part of The Color Throwdown Challenge #536.

I started by taking 2 panels of Very Vanilla cardstock and put the tiniest amount of Snail in the center to just hold them in place.  I stamped the sentiment from the Part Of My Story stamp set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of the top panel.  I stamped the flower image from the Painted Seasons stamp set randomly around on the cardstock in Blushing Bride Ink.  I stamped the fern image from the same stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink randomly between the flowers.  I stamped the leaf image from the same stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink stamping off once.

I adhered each of the Very Vanilla panels to a Blushing Bride mat using Snail.  I lined up the images and adhered the smaller matted panel to the larger matted panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I then adhered the artwork to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the flowers, ferns and leaves from the Painted Seasons stamp set randomly on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Strong And Beautiful Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of the Very Vanilla panel.  This stamp set has the most beautiful sentiments and font in it.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Blushing Bride mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the flower, fern and leaf images from the Painted Seasons stamp set randomly on the envelope front and the envelope flap the same as I did for the card front.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog today.  I hope you liked my Double Time card and will give it a try.  Enjoy your weekend.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up All Adorned

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers.  So how was everyone’s week?  Have we made any plans for the weekend?  This is your LAST weekend to get any Sale-A-Bration items.  I’m really going to miss some of the stamp sets.

For today’s card, I’m finishing out the week as promised, with another Sale-A-Bration stamp set.  I have to admit, I didn’t jump at this set, until I first saw it used and then I had to have it.  It’s the Stampin’ Up All Adorned Stamp Set and I paired it up with the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper.  Take a look.

I was able to include my card in 2 challenges also.  First is the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #309.  Be sure to stop by their blog to play along and see what everyone has made.  Here’s their sketch for the week.

Next up is Sunday Stamps Easter Hues Color Challenge #201.  They have some gorgeous projects on their blog, be sure to stop by.  Here are their colors.

I started with a Pool Party card base and adhered a panel of Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration item) to the front using Snail.  I adhered a strip of Highland Heather cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the All Adorned stamp set (Sale-A-Bration item) in Highland Heather Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  Using my Big Shot, I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest square from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.  Using the Layering Squares Framelits Dies, I cut the Balmy Blue cardstock one size larger than the stitched square and I cut the So Saffron scalloped square one size larger than the Balmy Blue.  I adhered the 3 squares together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a small Mint Macaron bow made from the Nature’s Twine and I added a couple Mint Macaron Faceted Dots to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the corner image from the All Adorned stamp set in the corners of a Whisper White panel with Pool Party Ink.  My Stamparatus really helped with this.  I just lined the cardstock up with the Small Grid Paper for my Stamparatus and turned it and lined it up with the same lines stamping all 4 corners perfectly.  It took me a while to get the hang of the Stamparatus, but once I did, I love it.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Part Of My Story Stamp Set (Sale-A-Bration item) in the center with Highland Heather Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Snail and then adhered it to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I was having so much un with my All Adorned stamp set I decided to use another one of the stamps on the envelope front.  It’s 2-steps so I stamped the first step in Highland Heather Ink across the bottom of the envelope front, then I stamped the second step in Mint Macaron Ink.  I adhered a panel of the Painted Seasons 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!!

Stampin’ Up So Hoppy Together

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  The week is almost over, has anyone made plans for the weekend.

For today’s card I’ve used yet another Sale-A-Bration stamp set.  We’ve only got 4 days left till they are gone.  I used the Stampin’ Up So Hoppy Together Stamp Set.  I can’t help but smile every time I see these little frogs.  Here’s my card

My card also played along with 3 challenges today.  First is the Freshly Made Sketches #381.  Here is their sketch for the week.

I also joined in with Inspire. Create Theme: Pets Challenge # 039.

I played along with Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #331.  This is the first time I’ve done a challenge like this and I had a lot of fun with it.  I went down the right side.  Here’s their sketch.

I started by stamping the frog on the unicycle image from the So Hoppy Together stamp set on a piece of Whisper White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored it in using my Basic Black, Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out using my Big Shot and my Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies.  I added a few Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the artwork so that it looked like the frog was juggling.

I adhered a piece of Lemon Lime Twist Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper to a Basic Black card front using Snail.  I adhered a strip of Grapefruit Grove cardstock along the seam of the DSP using Snail

I stamped the sentiment from the So Hoppy Together stamp set in Versamark Ink on the Gingham Gala DSP and sprinkled it with my Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I heat set it using my Heat Tool.  I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the card front to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment and the top of the frog on the unicycle from the So Hoppy Together stamp set on a panel of Whisper White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the frog in the same as I did on the card front.  I adhered a thin strip of Gingham Gala DSP on the left side of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Snail then adhered it 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 frog from the So Hoppy Together stamp set on the envelope front and colored them in the same as I did for the card front.  I adhered a piece of Gingham Gala 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.  This stamp set is one of many that is FREE with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration which will be ending on Sunday.  If you’ve been wanting any of the free items, don’t wait.  Grab them while you still can.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Home To Roost

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

For the card I made for today I went out of my comfort zone.  I was actually pretty pleased with how it turned out.  I’m not really into chickens or farming, but I said I was going to feature a different Sal-A-Bration item each day this week.  We’re getting down to the wire for getting free items.  Here is my card for today.

After I was done, I saw the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge #311 and thought that this might qualify.  Here is their sketch.

I started with a piece of the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (FREE Sale-A-Bration item) and cut it into 1″ strips.  I adhered the DSP onto a Poppy Parade card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue so that I would have a little wiggle room to line the strips up.

I stamped the rooster from the Stampin’ Up Home To Roost Stamp Set (FREE Sale-A-Bration item) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a small piece of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the rooster in using my Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Then using my Big Shot, I cut the image out with my Layering Ovals Framelits Dies.  I also cut out the scalloped oval that was just a little larger in Poppy Parade cardstock.  I adhered the artwork to the scalloped oval using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons Stamp Set in Poppy Parade Ink.  I stamped the flowers 4 times without reinking to get the Ombre effect.  I cut the flowers out with my Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies and my Big Shot.  I adhered the flowers to the right side of the artwork using Glue Dots and Mini Stampn’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the Home To Roost stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a strip of Vellum paper and adhered it over the artwork using Glue Dots.  I adhered the card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the grassy image from the Home To Roost stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off twice, to a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink above the grass.  I adhered some more of the flowers I had stamped and cut out using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the grass and the rooster from the Home To Roost stamp set on the front of the envelope in Old Olive and Tuxedo Black Memento Inks.  I adhered a piece of the Botanical Butterfly DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.  This card used 2 of the FREE Sale-A-Bration items that are available with a $50 order.  Sale-A-Bration ends on Sunday, so don’t delay.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Lovely Lattice

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has your week started off?

For today’s card I used 4 Sale-A-Bration items that will only be around for less than a week now.  Here’s my card.

I was able to join in with a few challenges with my card today.  First is Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #449.  Here are their beautiful vibrant colors

Next we have Stampin’ Up Only Coloring Challenge # 219

Next I played along with TGIF Product Spotlight Challenge #204

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the large image from the Stampin’ Up Lovely Lattice Stamp Set (FREE Sale-A-Bration item) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center.  I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay and Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered the artwork with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to a Gorgeous Grape card front, which I had run through my Big Shot using the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (FREE Sale-A-Bration item). I adhered the card front to a Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I made a bow using the Pearlized Thread from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit (FREE Sale-A-Bration Item). I adhered it to the artwork using a Glue Dot.  I added a Silver Adhesive Backed Rose from the same embellishment kit.

On the inside I stamped the smaller flower from the Lovely Lattice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the 2 corners of a Whisper White panel and colored them in with my Bermuda Bay and Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Part Of My Story Stamp Set (FREE Sale-A-Bration item) in Bermuda Bay Ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I cut the sentiment out using my Big Shot and the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies.  Using the Story Label Punch I punched out a label in Lovely Lipstick cardstock.  I adhered the oval to the center of the label using Snail and then to the Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped part of the large floral image from the Lovely Lattice stamp set on the envelope front and the envelope flap in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored them in 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. I was able to use 4 of the Sale-A-Bration items for this card.  The Lovely Lattice stamp set (1st release), Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (2nd release), Part Of My Story stamp set (1st release) and the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit (3rd release).  You only have 6 days left to get your free items.

Stampin’ Up Butterfly Gala Quick and Easy card

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers.  How was your weekend?  We had a beautiful one here. I took my 4 legged furry baby out and went for over a 5 mile walk yesterday.  It felt so good to be out walking and not cold.  Jasmine loved every minute of the walk too.

For today’s card I made another quick and easy card for you featuring a Sale-A-Bration item.  I’m going to try to feature a different Sale-A-Bration item each day this week.  This is your LAST WEEK OF SALE-A-BRATION.  This wonderful time of year ends Sunday, so if there are items that you would like to receive for free, now’s the time to get them.  Here is my card.

 I started with a Lemon Lime Twist card front and adhered a piece of the beautiful  Sale-A-Bration Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Butterfly Gala Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom portion of the cardstock.  I then ran it through my Big Shot using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to give it a little texture.

I wrapped a piece of Grapefruit Grove Nature’s Twine around the bottom and tied a bow.  I adhered a large and small grapefruit grove butterfly and 2 small daffodil delight butterflies, that I had punched out from another sheet of the Botanical Butterfly DSP using my Butterfly Duet Punch, to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the card front to a Lemon Lime Twist card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Daffodil Delight and 1 Grapefruit Grove Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I adhered another piece of the Botanical Butterfly DSP to the inside of the Lemon Lime Twist card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set toward the top of a panel of Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the Botanical Butterfly DSP on the inside of the card base using Snail.  I adhered a daffodil delight and lemon lime twist butterfly using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I adhered a Lemon Lime Twist butterfly to the envelope front and a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP to the envelope flap.  This was a very quick and easy card that the DSP did most of the work for you.

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

Here at Paper Pumpkin, we love providing easy, fast, and fun creative experiences for our subscribers. We do this in a cost-saving and time-efficient way: by delivering a cute package filled with fun paper-crafting goodies . . . right to your door.
In addition to providing everything you need to make a pre-designed, all-inclusive project, we also have another goal in mind: to help you unlock and explore your creativity by introducing you to exciting and innovative products from Stampin’ Up!
In April’s Paper Pumpkin kit, we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be treating you to something extra-special: Stampin’ Up!’s brand new Distinktive® stamp images.

About Distinktive Stamps
Distinktive stamps give you photo-realistic images with just one stamp. They have a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step.
These stamps are available only from Stampin’ Up! and are made using a patent-pending process.
Distinktive stamps are available in red rubber and photopolymer; Paper Pumpkin’s April kit includes photopolymer stamps.
Shop Distinktive stamps in the online store by searching “Distinktive,” or look for the Distinktive icon in Stampin’ Up! catalogs.
