Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I spent yesterday morning cooking some comfort foods. I made a big pot of chili, a pot of stew and a triple batch of my spaghetti sauce. I like to make extra of that and freeze it so we have it whenever needed. Today I’ll be spending at work all day. What will you be doing?

I played with one of my favorite sets from the January – June 2022 Mini Catalog. I know I say that a lot, but I have a lot of favorites from this catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Bragworthy Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #453.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #519.

I also played along with the CAS On Friday Challenge #223. Their challenge is ‘HEXAGON‘

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Bragworthy stamp set on a Basic White card front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the top part of the sentiment by covering the bottom using a piece of Post-It Note Tape. I embossed the card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small daffodil image from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest hexagon die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a panel of Mango Melody cardstock using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut partway then moved the die up to make a square and turned it around in my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and cut the other half making a stitched square.

I adhered the Basic White panel to the stitched panel and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Mango Melody Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock and cut the image out using my Daffodil Dies. I adhered the butterfly to the artwork using Glue Dots. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Hexagons to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the bottom half of the sentiment from the Bragworthy stamp set (covering up the top with a piece of Post-It Note tape) in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. If you haven’t seen it yet, you have got to check out this Bragworthy stamp set, it’s got a lot of great sentiments. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Mango Melody Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mango Melody mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Mango Melody Ink by the daffodil and on the envelope flap.

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