Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Sneak Peak Christmas

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I hope you are having a relaxing one.

I have a sneak peek for you today using another stamp set that will be coming in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. I really love this set, it’s sketched images which are my favorite. I did a little paper piecing for my card today too. Here’s my card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Misty Moonlight card front using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I wrapped a piece of White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the panel and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Evening Evergreen, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Soft Succulent and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set on the same panel of Basic White cardstock in Misty Moonlight Ink and cut it out using my Layering Circles Dies.

I stamped the image again on a panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the pillow and blanket using my Paper Snips and adhered them to the artwork using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the largest scalloped circle die from the Layering Circles Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped circle and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the card front tucked under the artwork. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Decorative Matte Dots to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and maybe have this set on your wish list for when the new catalog goes live. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Brew Some Fun CAS for Fun Fold Friday with Video Tutorial

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’m actually off on Saturday, but will be at work all day Sunday.

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! Brew Some Fun Cling Stamp Set along with the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my simple fun fold card today.

I started by embossing a panel of Merry Merlot using the Hello & Thanks Embossing Folder. I then cut a panel of Neutrals DSP from the center of the 5 1/4″ side I cut in 2″. I scored from the center cut line to the 2 corners and folded them out. I adhered the DSP to the Merry Merlot card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the 3rd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. On the circle I stamped the trio of flowers image from the Brew Some Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them in using my Night of Navy and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the sentiment from the Brew Some Fun stamp set using my Merry Merlot and Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped it on the circle die. On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the coffee cup and the small bow from the Brew Some Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake and Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the cup using my Paper Snips and cut the bow out using my Warm Wraps Dies. I adhered the bow to the cup using a Glue Dot and the cup to the bottom of the circle using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I adhered the circle die to a scalloped circle which I cut from a panel of Night of Navy cardstock using the Layering Circle Dies. I adhered the layered dies to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the coffee cup on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Crumb Cake and Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the coffee cup and trio of flowers images from the Brew Some Fun stamp set on the envelope front and colored them in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 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.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Holly-Days for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders’ blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Holly-Days Stamp Set along with the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Mint Macaron card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 panels of the Whimsy & Wonder DSP to Mint Macaron mats. I adhered one panel of the Whimsy & Wonder DSP to a Polished Pink mat. I adhered the longer layered panel to the top of the larger rectangle layered panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Polished Pink layered panel to the top of the multi-layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bird and holly images from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the images using my Paper Snips. Using my Layering Circles Dies I cut a solid circle and coordinating scalloped circle from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set on the solid circle in Mint Macaron Ink and embossed the circle using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the circles together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bird image and holly image to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a piece of the Silver Simply Elegant Trim around the multi-layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the multi-layered panel to the embossed card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the holly image from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment and colored them in using my Mint Macaron and Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the holly image from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Whimsy & Wonder DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Whimsical Trees

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a brisk sunny one here. Is everyone ready for another week? I have a very full week ahead planned out already.

My upline Jaimie has done weeks focusing on specific designer series paper. I thought I would give it a try. I have cards planned out for the entire week focusing on one of our beautiful DSP’s from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog, which just happens to be my favorite DSP. Here’s my 1st one for the week which just happens to be a fun fold.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Whimsical Trees Cling Stamp Set along with the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring a full panel of Mint Macaron cardstock. With the 8 1/2″ side on the bottom of the trimmer I scored at 4 1/4″. I turned the cardstock so the 11″ side was on the bottom of the trimmer and I scored at 5 1/2″. I took my score blade out of my trimmer and lined up the corners with the cutting indent and cut the panel from corner to corner making sure to go through the center mark on the cardstock. This will give you 2 card bases. I folded the top triangle down and the side triangle over. I cut a panel of Whimsy & Wonder DSP from corner to corner so that I had 2 triangles. I adhered one of the triangles of the to the front of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock on an angle and embossed it using the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the bottom triangle card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Silver foil from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack using the Encircled in Beauty Dies. Using my Layering Circles Dies I cut a circle from a panel of Basic White cardstock that would fit inside the Encircled in Beauty Die. I stamped the Basic White circle with the sentiment from the Whimsical Trees stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the Encircled in Beauty Die. I adhered the layered sentiment to the right side triangle using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the one side of the die cut image. I added a few Mint Macaron Genial Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Whimsical Trees stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the tree image from the Whimsical Trees stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the tree lights image from the Whimsical Trees stamp set in Versamark Ink over the tree image and immediately sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Whimsical Trees stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the tree lights image from the Whimsical Trees stamp set over the tree in Versamark Ink and immediately sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered a panel of the Whimsy & Wonder 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. Don’t forget to stop back tomorrow to see my 2nd card using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Be Jolly

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned. I was suppose to have off today and only work a half day tomorrow, but things changed. I’ll be working today and tomorrow at the hardware store. One of my cashiers is sick and we had to rearrange the schedule and I won the prize lol.

I pulled out another Christmas set from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog for todays card. I love the images from this set. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Be Jolly Cling Stamp Set along with the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Real Red card front using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP to the left side of the card front. I adhered another strip of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP across the card front towards the bottom. I adhered the card front to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the adorable Santa image from the Be Jolly stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Ivory, Real Red and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Marker on the beard just to highlight and add a little color and then used the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to remove most of the color. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest Layering Circles Dies. I cut a scallop circle from a panel of Real Red cardstock using the 2nd largest scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the stamped image to the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Holly Jolly Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front just above the strip of DSP. I adhered the layered Santa image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Real Red Wonderful Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped another one of the adorable Santa images from the Be Jolly stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat and then to the inside of the Real Red card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the Santa image from the Be Jolly stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Heartwarming Hugs 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! Joyful Life Thank You

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Are you ready for the last week of October, YIKES!! This month flew by.

I have a quick card for you today using another one of my favorite sets from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Life Cling Stamp Set along with the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Inspire. Create. Challenge # 102.

I started by adhering a panel of the Neutrals DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Layering Circles Dies, I cut one of the solid circles and the coordinating scalloped circle from a panel of Basic White cardstock. On the solid circle I stamped the pig and leaf images from the Joyful Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink to the left of the circle. I colored the images in using my Blackberry Bliss, Bronze, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the solid circle to the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered a piece of the 3/8″ Denim Ribbon to the card front. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Life stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a strip of the Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pig and leaf images from the Joyful Life stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Neutrals DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Jar of Flowers Wreath for The Card Concepts.

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. The inspiration photo is Fall Fun.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Jar of Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sparkle of The Season Bundle and some new Heart & Home Designer Series Paper (coming in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog) for my Clean & Layered card. I was inspired by the beautiful fall colors along with the sunflowers in the vase and the apples.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #162.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of the gorgeous new Heart & Home DSP to an Old Olive mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Cajun Craze card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sunflower image from the Jar of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and colored the image in using my Bumblebee and Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Markers. I fussy cut the sunflowers using my Paper Snips. Using the Festive Finishes Dies, I cut multiple apples from a panel of Cajun Craze cardstock.

I cut the leaf wreath from a panel of Old Olive cardstock using my Seasonal Swirls Dies. I cut the swirly wreath from a panel of Early Espresso cardstock using the Painted Labels Dies. I didn’t want the solid center in the swirly wreath so I used the circle that fit the best from the Layering Circles Dies and cut it out. I layered the wreaths together the way I liked and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals where I would be putting the flowers and the apples. I made a multi loop bow from a length of Linen Thread and adhered it to the wreath. I adhered the sunflowers over the bow and the apples randomly on the wreath. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink and cut it into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment tucking it under the flowers.

On the inside I stamped the swirly wreath from the Stampin’ Up! Sparkle of The Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkle of The Season stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink in the center of the wreath. I randomly stamped the trio leaves image from the Sparkle of The Season stamp set in Bumblebee and Old Olive Inks and adhered a few more of the apples I had cut out from the Festive Finishes Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat and then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the trio leaf image from the Sparkle of The Season stamp set in Bumblebee, Cajun Craze and Old Olive Inks on the bottom of the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Heart & Home 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! Biggest Wish Watercolor

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ve got the day off today and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful fall day. Unfortunately my husband is sick and my daughter is going to work, so I’ll just have to stay in and make some cards. I may run a couple errands just to get out for a bit.

Today and tomorrow’s cards are a CASE from my upline Jaimie. Last week we had our monthly team meeting and she showed us a card using the Water Painters. I have to admit, since I’ve gotten all the Stampin’ Blends Markers I haven’t water colored. That was always my go to for relaxing. I changed my card up a bit from hers, but it’s basically the same. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with my Water Painters and other sets for my card today.

I started with a Shimmery White card front and one of my acrylic blocks. Using my Ink Refills, I put a drop of Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya in on the block. Making sure my largest Water Painter was really wet, you might want to have a little bowl of water handy, I lifted some of the Cajun Craze Ink and brushed it across the Shimmery White paper. I did the same with the Pumpkin Pie Ink and the Pale Papaya Ink, blending the inks together in between them. You can either let it dry on it’s own or use setting #1 on your Heat Tool to dry the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink below the brushed ink on an angle. I adhered a panel of Pale Papaya card stock to a Cajun Craze card base on an angle.

Using the 4th largest scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies, I cut the inked panel. I cut a panel of Pale Papaya cardstock using the 3rd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. From a panel of Shimmery White cardstock I cut the 4th largest circle using the Layering Circles Dies. From the Shimmery White circle I cut the leaf die using my Intricate Leaves Dies. I adhered the Pale Papaya circle to the card front over the cut area. I adhered the scalloped circle over the Pale Papaya making sure the stripes from the brushed ink lined up. I adhered the leaf cut circle die over the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front over the Pale Papaya panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pumpkin Pie rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the trio leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set on either side of the sentiment, coloring the stamp using my Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat and then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the trio leaves image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set, colored the same as I did for the card, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze from the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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!!

I used another one of my favorite sets today for a CAS card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Life Cling Stamp Set along with the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #440.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #506.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered 2 strips of the Brights DSP in Poppy Parade and Pacific Point and 1 strip of the Garden Green Regals DSP to the card front on an angle. I adhered the card front to a Thick Basic White card base.

Using my Layering Circle Dies I cut the 3rd largest circle and the coordinating scallop circle from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the image from the Joyful Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the circle. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Poppy Parade and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker. On a scrap of the Pacific Point Brights DSP I stamped the same image from the Joyful Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and fussy cut the apron out using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the stamped image. I adhered the circle to the scalloped circle and then to the card front.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin Up! Sunny Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered 2 strips of the Garden Green Regals DSP to the corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Brights DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! Nature’s Harvest CAS

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous fall weekend here, unfortunately I spent most of it inside working.

I used another one of my favorite sets from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog for my card today. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Bundle along with the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from TGIF Challenge #336.

My design today is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #505.

I started by adhering a panel of Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Layering Circles Dies, I cut 2 circles the same size, 1 in Basic Black cardstock and 1 in Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I embossed the Basic Black circle using my Stitched Greenery Die and I embossed the Blackberry Bliss circle using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered them to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the small floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut the image out using my Harvest Dies. I adhered the floral image to the Blackberry Bliss circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it out using my Harvest Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the circles using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the small floral image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel twice. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the small floral image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set on the envelope front twice in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of Blackberry Beauty 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!!
