Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots

Posted on by
12

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be at work all day today. I had yesterday off and I did some reorganizing of my craft area. Time to weed out the old and make room for the new. I pulled retiring stamp sets, dies, embossing folders and embellishments from my stash. It’s looking kind of empty now. Not for long though, Friday we get to place our preorder YAY!!!

Today’s card I made just because I wanted to. I had no reason and for no one specific. I just like to have encouragement cards on hand for when I need them. I actually used a color that I don’t use all that often since it’s not one of my favorites. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #685.

I joined in with the Global Design Projects Theme Challenge #335.

My design is from Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #649.

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Fields DSP to a Pumpkin Pie card base. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Soft Succulent mat and adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the rain boots image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink. I stamped the tulips in Pumpkin Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper on the Basic White panel. I stamped the flower stems from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I cut all the images out using my Rain Boots Dies. I adhered the stems to the boots using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the boots and stems to the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tulips on top of the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I cut a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock using the lattice die from the Rain Boots Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the lattice using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials to the card front to look like raindrops.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stems on the bottom of the panel in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the tulips on the stems in Pumpkin Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stems from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the tulips from the Flowering Rain Boots on the stems in Pumpkin Pie Ink. I adhered a panel of Flowering Fields 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! New Shipping Fees Beginning April 1

I want to let you know about a change to Stampin’ Up!’s shipping and handling pricing.  Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater.

If you ever use the expedited shipping options, those fees are going up a bit too.  Here are the new fees for expedited shipping:

  • Next Day Upgrade: $38.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 2nd Day Upgrade: $23.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 3 Day Shipping Upgrade: $15.00 USD ($5.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • The expedited shipping option rates above are calculated in addition to the standard shipping rate (e.g., the next day shipping option would cost $7.95 USD or 11%—whichever is greater—plus $38.00 USD)

I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me.  Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so they can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated paper crafting products that you love.

Stampin’ Up! Catch You Later

Posted on by
4

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? I hope you are having a productive one.

Today’s card was requested by my son. This past weekend they celebrated one of his friend’s birthdays. He’s been friends with him since the 1st grade, my son is 26 now. He said all his friend asked for was a card made by me. So, here’s what I came up with.

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

I started by adhering an In Good Taste DSP card front to a Smoky Slate card base. I adhered a smaller panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the cant & fish image from the Catch you Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Pale papaya, Pool Party and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White panel. I cut the image out using my Tasteful Labels Dies. I cut the sentiment out using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the cut-up sentiment to the side DSP panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cat & fish image from the Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Pale Papaya, Pool Party and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cat & fish image from the Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored it in using my Pale Papaya, Pool Party and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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! Hydrangea Haven for Fun Fold Friday with Video Tutorial

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I am, it’s been a long week for me. I have to work on Saturday all day, but I’m off Sunday. Sunday I get to attend my quarterly meeting in person. I always look forward to getting together with my team members.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hydrangea Haven Bundle along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering 2 panels of In Good Taste DSP to the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the hydrangea image from the Stampin’ Up! Hydrangea Haven Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped the top flower in Poppy Parade Ink and the bottom stem and leaves in Granny Apple Green Ink. I colored the leaves using my Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Hydrangea Dies. Using my Hydrangea Dies, I cut the tiny flowers die from panels of Blushing Bride, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade 2 times in each color. I adhered the tiny flowers to the large die cut flower using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the stem and leaves from a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Hydrangea Dies and adhered it to the stem using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to some of the Poppy Parade flowers. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 2nd largest Scalloped Contours Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel them embossed the panel using the dots from the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder. I adhered the flower to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Bumblebee Trinket to the panel.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the hydrangea image from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the hydrangea image from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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.

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Birthday

Posted on by
2

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend, YAY!!! What’s everyone doing this weekend? Hope you have something fun planned. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing today, but I have to work all day tomorrow.

This past Tuesday I had a card class and we focused on using the 2020-2022 In-Colors. These colors will be retiring come April making room for 5 new In-Colors in May. It’s always sad to see colors go, but also exciting for the new ones. If you love these colors like I do, you might want to grab some Cardstock, DSP, Ink Pads, Markers, Blends or even the Square Gems before they are gone. Here’s one of my cards we made Tuesday night.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the 2020-2022 In-Color Designer Series Paper and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. This stamp set is one of the sets that is on sale as a bundle during the month of March for 20% off.

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base.

I adhered a panel of the 2020-2022 In Color DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the stem/leaf image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the detailed flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink over the stamped off image. I cut the panel using the 4th smallest Stitched Rectangle Die. I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using my Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the artwork to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the artwork

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the stem/leaf image from the Art Gallery in Just Jade Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the solid Flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, on the stem. I stamped the detailed flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink over the stamped off image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Magenta Madness mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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 On The Horizon Fun Fold

Posted on by
16

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I have off tomorrow but have to work on Sunday.

Today’s card I was going to make on my Facebook Live Wednesday, but I wasn’t feeling well so I never went live. I’m hoping all is better next week. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Bundle along with the New Horizon 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding my Misty Moonlight card base as listed below. I took a panel of the New Horizons DSP and cut it down to 5 3/8″. I cut 15/16″ off the right and left side of the DSP. I stamped the grass image from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink on the 2 small panels. I adhered the 2 panels on the 2 side folds of the card base. I stamped the bird image from the On The Horizon stamp set on the larger piece of DSP in Tuxedo Black Ink then adhered it in the center of the card base.

Using my Horizon Dies, I cut the 2 fence pieces out of a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I adhered the 2 fences on each of the side panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 of the grass dies from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock and adhered them in front of the fence pieces.

On a panel of In Good Taste DSP I stamped the sentiment from the On The Horizon stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the side panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the panel I cut off the top of the DSP I stamped the bird image from the On The Horizon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. My husband wanted to do some extreme fussy cutting (as he called it) of the birds, so I cut a couple and so did he. I adhered the cut birds to the side panels with a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Pebbles Enamel Shapes to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the On The Horizon stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the grass image on the bottom of the panel in Garden Green Ink and the birds on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the back of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the envelope front with the grass image from the On The Horizon stamp set in Garden Green Ink and the birds in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of New Horizon 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under the post. I’d love to see your take on the card. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet CAS

Posted on by
15

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and only 3 days till Christmas. I haven’t wrapped a thing, let alone shopped. My husband has done a lot of the shopping for us this year, I’m just not feeling up to it.

I have a quick fun card today using product from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Every once in a while, I like to pull things out I haven’t played with in a bit. Here’s my card today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Back on Your Feet Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #272.

My colors are from Inspire. Create. Color Challenge #106.

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and adhering it to a Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of In Good Taste DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom. I immediately sprinkled it with my white embossing powder from the Embossing Powder Basics and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal. I colored a piece of White Bakers Twine using my Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends Marker. Once it was dry, I wrapped it around the layered panel and tied a small bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sloth image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a couple Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the turtle image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the sloth image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin Seasonal Wreath for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some plans.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Peace On Earth.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin ClingStamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sparkle of The Season Bundle for my Clean and Simple card. I was inspired by the gorgeous wreath in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our Challenge #165. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of an In Good Taste Designer Series Paper card front. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base.

Using my Seasonal Swirls Dies, I cut 2 of the wreaths out, 1 in Evening Evergreen and 1 in Soft Succulent. On a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock I stamped the small pinecone image from the Stampin’ Up! Sparkle of The Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink multiple times. I cut the images out using my Seasonal Swirls Dies. I cut 3 sets of holly from a panel of Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Paper and multiple berries from a scrap of Real Red cardstock. I adhered the pinecones, holly and berries to the wreaths using Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a bow using the Real Red 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon and adhered it to the top of the wreath using a Glue Dot leaving long tails. I twisted the tails of the bow and tacked them in a couple places using Glue Dots. I added a few Wonderful Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Cling Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the pine boughs image from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set above and below the sentiment in Evening Evergreen Ink. I adhered the pinecones and holly & berries I had cut to the boughs. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine boughs image from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink above and below where I’d be writing the address on the envelope front and 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! Poinsettia Petals for The Card Concepts.

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some plans.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Rustic Holiday.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Mixed Media card. I was inspired by the Poinsettias in the photo along with the colors.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our Challenge #164. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by embossing a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to the panel and then adhered the layered panel to a Thick Very Vanilla card base.

On a panel on Cherry Cobbler cardstock I stamped the poinsettia images from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Versamark Ink. I stamped 1 large, 1 medium and 2 small. I immediately sprinkled them with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the images out using my Poinsettia Dies. On a panel of Garden Green cardstock I cut 2 of the largest poinsettias dies and embossing die using my Poinsettia Dies. I adhered the large and medium flowers together using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure the petals alternated. I adhered the 2 small flowers together using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure the petal alternated. I adhered the layered small flowers to the large layered petals using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered 1 of the large Garden Green flowers to the back of the layered Cherry Cobbler flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut apart the other Garden Green flower using my Paper Snips and adhered the leaves where I thought they should go using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels in the center of the flower.

I cut a few of the sprigs dies from the Poinsettia Dies out of a panel of Gold Metallic Paper. I adhered them under the flower. On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I tied a small bow using the Gold Simply Elegant Trim and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I had cut 4 of the tiny poinsettias from the Poinsettia Dies from the panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I adhered them together alternating petals using Glue Dots and adhered them on either side of the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel to the center. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and then to the inside of the Thick Very Vanilla card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the poinsettia image from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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! Daisy Garden Thinking of You

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Happy Friendship Day and Happy August. I can’t believe it’s August already. I’m not ready to be winding down the summer yet, I need at least 3 more months. How is everyone’s weekend going? I had to go back to work twice yesterday since the mail was so late. The good thing was, I was all by myself in the office so I brought my dog with me to hang out. She wasn’t sure about the situation and was just sniffing and pacing all around the office. She did get some visitors and a lot of pets though.

Today’s card is similar to yesterday’s card, another CAS one. You have to let me know in the comments which card you like better. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today. This is such an awesome pack of DSP and you can get it until Tuesday on sale for 15% off, I may just have to order another pack. It’s one of my favorites.

I started by stamping the Daisy Garden image on a panel of In Good Taste DSP in Bumblebee Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Clear Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. Did you know that you can make any color embossing powder just by using our inks and the Clear Embossing Powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set on the top of the card front panel in Just Jade Ink. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade 3/8″ Gingham Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Daisy Garden image on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Bumblebee Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink over the daisy image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the Daisy Garden image on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope in Bumblebee Ink. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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! Daisy Garden Anniversary

Posted on by
2

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend and Happy End of July. Hope you have something fun planned. Looks like it’s going to be a beauty here, upper 70’s and sunny. It was beautiful sleeping last night, it was in the low 50’s. I shut off the A/C, opened the windows and turned on my attic fan. I got to fall asleep listening to the crickets, lol.

Today’s card is a quick and easy one that I think we will be making at our class on Tuesday night. Actually today and tomorrow’s card are very similar, you have to let me know which one you like better. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card. This DSP is one of the 9 that are on sale until Tuesday for 15% off. Now’s the perfect time to stock up and save.

I started by stamping the Daisy Garden image in Versamark Ink on a panel of In Good Taste DSP. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. For a little stability, I adhered the card front to a panel of Bumblebee cardstock using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink and cut it out using my Messages Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Daisy Garden image in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink over the daisy image. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped part of the Daisy Garden stamp on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off once. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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!!
