Stampin’ Up! Catch You Later Childs Birthday Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I’ll be prepping all day for our Easter brunch tomorrow. I’m looking forward to getting together with my niece and her daughter. Yesterday I made my Easter Egg bread. I started around 7am and didn’t take the last one out of the oven until 7pm. I made 8 loaves that I’ll be sharing with others. My family couldn’t wait to cut into the 1st one out of the oven and I have to admit neither could I. Here’s a picture of the 1st one out which is about 13″-14″ in diameter. They all came out perfect this year, YAY!!!

Today’s card is one that one of my cashiers asked me to make for her. Her grandson is turning 2 and loves monkeys, so I knew exactly what I wanted to make for her. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Catch You Later Cling Stamp Set along with the 2021-2023 In-Color Designer Series Paper, In the Wild Designer Series Paper, Playful Alphabet Dies and the Hippo & Friends Dies. All these items will be retiring, so if these are products you like grab them while you still can.

I started by adhering a panel of 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to a Soft Succulent card base. I stamped the monkey image from the Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and colored it using my Crumb Cake, Evening Evergreen, Flirty Flamingo & Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I cut a panel of In the Wild DSP using the size larger die from the Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a piece of Evening Evergreen Bakers Twine from the Fan Baker’s Twine Pack on the card front and adhered the layered panel over it using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock that I had adhered to a Foam Adhesive Sheet, I cut the letters and number using the Playful Alphabet Dies. I adhered the letters down the side of the card front.

I adhered the #2 on the monkey’s foot on the artwork. I added a few Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

I adhered a panel of In the Wild DSP to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the monkey image from the Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it the same as the card front with my Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the 2 sentiments from the Catch You Later stamp set by the monkey image. From the panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock I cut 2 of the string dies from the Hippo & Friends Dies. I cut 2 of the balloons from the Hippo & Friends Dies from scraps of Daffodil Delight and Real Red cardstock. I adhered the strings to the monkeys hands using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the balloons to the strings using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the monkey image from the Catch You Later stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card using my Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color 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! Whale Done Ocean Panel

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend is going well. Yesterday was a cold snowy day here. When I left for work it was 40 and dropped to 17 by night with wind gusts. Luckily, I was inside working all day. Today is our quarterly team meeting, so I will be attending in person this month.

Today’s card mixes old and new items that just seemed to work together. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Whale Done Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration Cling Stamp Set and Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering 3 panels of Waves of the Ocean DSP to Granny Apple Green mats and then to a silver foil card front from the Blue Foil Specialty Paper. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a stirp of Basic White cardstock I stamped the turtle image from the Whale Done stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the turtle using my Paper Snips. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the smallest Hippo & Friends Dies. I then stamped the seaweed image from the Whale Done stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the coral image from the Whale Done stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink and the seahorse image in Crumb Cake Ink on the die cut. I stamped the bubble image in Pacific Point Ink. I adhered the turtle image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the back of the artwork using a Glue Dot and adhered the artwork and sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Whale Done stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the seaweed image in Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the coral image in Calypso Coral Ink and the seahorse image in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the turtle image in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the seaweed, coral and seahorse images from the Whale Done stamp set on the envelope front in Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake Inks. I adhered a panel of Waves of The Ocean 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!!

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends and Happy March!!! How is everyone doing today? I’m normally off today, but it’s the 1st of the month and that means I have statements to print and send out. The good thing is I have off tomorrow, YAY!!!

Today’s card is one that I made for my little nephew who loves monkeys. His birthday was last week, he’s getting so big. Not sure where the time has gone. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Catch You Later Cling Stamp Set along with the In the Wild Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I wrapped a piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Chevron Weave Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a smaller panel of In the Wild DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Succulent card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the monkey image from the Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using my Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Catch You Later stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Catch You Later stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered 2 strips of In the Wild DSP on the top and bottom of the panel.

Paper Pumpkin Price Increases Beginning March 1

On March 1, 2022, Paper Pumpkin kits will see a slight increase in price for both month-to-month orders and prepaid subscriptions. Despite Covid’s continued strain on the global economy, Stampin’ Up! has been working diligently to maintain the lowest possible price for our Paper Pumpkin kits–including absorbing costs to prevent price increases. However, as we continue to see greater cost increases to raw materials, shipping, and overhead, we have made the decision to increase pricing in order to maintain the high quality and value of the monthly kit.

Here are the details:

You will begin to see the price change on paper pumpkin.com

beginning February 11, with the start of the March subscription period.

Shipping added based on order total at time of check out. 

Prepaid codes–both redeemed and unredeemed–purchased before the 1 March price change will maintain their full value. No additional payment will be required. 

Prices for past kits and refills released before March 1, 2022 will remain unchanged.

Let me know if you have any questions about the price changes.

Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Happy February!!! Yesterday my daughter started back in person collage. She was really looking forward to it since she hated remote learning. The downside is that I have to have her at the train station to catch the 6:30am train. I’m up at that time, but I don’t like to be out in the winter at that time. Once she got to the campus, she had a 30-minute walk to her building and it was only 10 degrees out, brrr.

I have a cute little card for you today using items from the 2021 -2022 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from As You See It Challenge #267.

I started by adhering a panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP to a Crumb Cake card base.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink down the one side of the panel using my Stamparatus. I adhered the Basic White panel to the card front.

I cut a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Ornate Layers Dies and embossed the panel using my Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the left of the sentiment panel. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the larger outline turtle image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the shell image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink stamping off once. I stamped the sentiment from the Turtle Friends stamp set on the shell in Evening Evergreen Ink. I colored the turtle using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the hat from the Turtle Friends stamp set on the turtle in Calypso Coral Ink and colored it using my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bird image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on top of the turtle. I stamped the bow tie image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink, fussy cut it using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the turtle using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I cut the image out using my Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bragworthy Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the 2 small outline turtle images from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the grass and shell images from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I colored the turtles in using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large and small turtle outline images from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the grass and large & small shell images from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I colored the turtles in using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bird image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I adhered a panel of Tidings of Christmas 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! Forever Fern CAS

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. Happy November!!! How was everyone’s weekend? Did you get a lot of trick or treaters? We hit a high number of trick or treaters this year, 11. That’s 6 more than last year. Maybe there’s still hope that the kids will come down our street.

Today’s card is one of the cards we will be making tomorrow night at my class. I’m trying to make some CAS cards with a little extra touch. I pulled out a set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. I think sometimes with the mini catalogs available we forget about some of our favorites from the annual catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set for my CAS card today.

I played along with Just Us Girls Wild-Card Challenge #608.

I started by stamping a panel of Basic White cardstock using 3 different leaf images from the Forever Fern stamp set in Just Jade, Petal Pink and So Saffron Inks. I stamped the splotch image from the Forever Fern stamp set in Gray Granite Ink around the leaves.

I embossed the stamped panel using my Timber 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Gray Granite mat. I wrapped a piece of the Gray Granite Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the layered image and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Gray Granite cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Fern stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Elegant Faceted Gem to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Fern stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf images from the Forever Fern stamp set in Just Jade, Petal Pink and So Saffron Ink on the top and bottom of the panel. I stamped the splotch image from the Forever Fern stamp set in Gray Granite Ink around the leaf images. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf images from the Forever Fern stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color Designer Series Paper to 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!!

The theme this month is “Giving Thanks”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkle of The Season Bundle along with the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to a Cinnamon Cider mat.

From a panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock, I cut the leafy wreath using my Seasonal Swirls Dies. I adhered the wreath to the card front. I stamped the trio leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Sparkle of The Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Bumblebee and Real Red Inks inside the wreath on the DSP. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaf image from the Sparkle of The Season stamp set 2 times in Bumblebee Ink and 2 times in Real Red Ink. I stamped the other leafy image from the Sparkle of The Season stamp set in Just Jade Ink twice. I cut all the images out, along with the small floral die from a panel of Vellum Paper, using my Seasonal Swirls Dies.

I tied a bow using the Just Jade 3/8″ Gingham Ribbon from Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it to the bottom of the wreath. I adhered the die cut leaf images under the bow. On the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkle of The Season stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink and cut it out using my Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered it to the bottom of the card front. I adhered the card front to a Cinnamon Cider card base. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkle of The Season stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I stamped the trio leaf image on either side of the sentiment in Bumblebee and Real Red Inks. I stamped the leaf images from the Sparkle of the Season stamp set in Bumblebee, Just Jade and Real Red Inks on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf images from the Sparkle of The Season stamp set in Bumblebee, Just Jade and Real Red Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and the weekend is right around the corner.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. After taking a summer break, we’re back. Our 1st inspiration photo is Colorful Fall. Here is my card that I was inspired by the photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. I was inspired by the beautiful colors of the leaves for my clean and layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join us for our challenge #159. How are you inspired by this photo.

I started by randomly stamping the leaf images from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler and Fresh Freesia Inks on a Basic White panel. I stamped the splotch image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink randomly on the panel.

I embossed the panel using my Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to a Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Intricate Leaves Dies I cut 1 branch from a panel of Soft Suede cardstock and 3 leaves from panels of Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler and Fresh Freesia cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in soft Succulent Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Hippo & Friends Dies.

I arranges the branch and leaves on the sentiment die cut and adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small knot using the 3/8″ Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the stems using a Glue Dot. I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler and Fresh Freesia Ink around the top of the panel. I stamped the splotch image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink, stamping off once, around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I stamped the leaves and splotch images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler, Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Inks on the envelope front and 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! Sweet As A Peach Birthday for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach Bundle along with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Getting Sketchy #262.

I started by adhering a panel of You’re A Peach DSP to a Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 panels of You’re A Peach DSP using the Ornate Layers Dies. I cut the 2 panels in half and adhered them to a Calypso Coral mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This was how I was able to make the strips long enough for my card front. I adhered the 2 layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the stem/leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the trio of peach image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set on the stem image in Pale Papaya Ink, sponged with my Dauber in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the image out using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I stamped the trio peach image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, sponged with Calypso Coral Ink, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the peach trio out using my Peach Dies. I cut 2 of the leaf dies from the Peach Dies out of a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I adhered the leaves to the back of 2 of the die cut peaches using a Glue Dot then adhered them to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Mango Melody Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the stem/leaf image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I stamped the peach trio image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, sponged with Calypso Coral Ink, on the stems. I stamped the sentiments from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base using Stampin’ Seal. I added a couple Mango Melody Artistry Blooms Adhesive- Backed Sequins to the Basic White panel.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large peach image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, sponged with Calypso Coral Ink, on the envelope front. I stamped the stem/leaves in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the peach. I adhered a panel of You’re A Peach DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper for my card this week.

I went with leave for my Outdoors theme.

I started by coloring a panel of the Pattern Party DSP using my Stampin’ Blends Markers. I just used all different colors and it’s too many to list so you’ll have to use your imagination and pick your favorite colors to use 😉 I adhered the DSP card front to a Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a Basic White panel and cut it our using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I adhered some Linen Thread to the card front with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal then adhered the sentiment over the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 4 of the leaves from the Stitched Leaves Dies in Blackberry Bliss, Bumblebee, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red cardstock. I arranged the leaves on the bottom of the sentiment and adhered them using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I made a bow using the Linen Thread and adhered it to the leaf stems using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2019-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal then embossed the top using my Stitched Leaves Dies. I added a couple more leaves that I cut using my Stitched Leaves Dies from Cherry Cobbler and Misty Moonlight cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of my Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. Is anyone starting to make plans?

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concept. For the next 2 weeks we have a Vacation Time challenge. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Cling Stamp Set for my card today. I was inspired by the trees in the photo and the woodgrain in the inspiration photo for my Clean and Layered card. I decided to make a card of a man vacationing and relaxing.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join us this week to play along with our challenge #157. How are you inspired by this photo?

I joined in with Always Fun Challenges #217, “Layers”.

I started by adhering a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 2 more panels of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to Early Espresso mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal and the ‘tree’ panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Ivory, Pool Party and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Hippo & Friends Dies. From a panel of Early Espresso cardstock I cut the next size larger Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from A Good Man stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the sentiment twice and tied a knot. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from A Good Man stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the image from A Good Man stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth 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!!
