Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. We’re almost to the weekend, YAY!!! Is anyone starting to make plans? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and we have our quarterly team meeting on Sunday.

I have a drapery fold card for you today using a couple of the new 2024-2026 In-Colors. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle, Unbounded Beauty DSP and Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Her is the template I used for the card front.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring an Unbounded Beauty DSP card front using the Simply Score. I folded the DSP making the 4″, 7″ & 10″ score lines mountain folds and the 3″, 6″ & 9″ scorelines valley folds. Once it was folded, I trimmed 1/4″ off the side using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the drapery card front to a Summer Splash mat using Liqui Glue.

I wrapped a piece of Pretty In Pink 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around the top of the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Pretty in Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty in Pink Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut the flower out using the Flowers of Beauty Dies. I cut the 2 leaf dies using the Unbounded Love Dies from a panel of Summer Splash. I adhered the die cut leaves to the bottom of the panel using a Glue Dot. I adhered the flower on top of the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set on the panel of Basic White in Summer Splash Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outlined flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I stamped the solid flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Summer Splash mat then to the inside of the Pretty in Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower and leaf images from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Here’s our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the large leaf/flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set twice on a panel of Basic White. I colored the image using Petal Pink, Gray Granite and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the 2 images out using the Lovely & Sweet Dies.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the images to a Country Woods DSP card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I trimmed the excess off using Paper Snips. I adhered the card front to a Gray Granite card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the Lovely & Sweet Dies. I adhered a piece of the new Petal Pink Diagonal Trim from the Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack (available May 1st) to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Petal Pink Foiled Gems from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the leaf image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Petal Pink, Gray Granite and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set on the envelope front in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #206 is April Flowers. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Bundle and the New Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (both items will be available starting May 1st), along with the Nested Essentials Dies and Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder for today’s card. I was inspired by the flowers in the photo and the colors of the flowers for my Clean and Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 206.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using Blending Brushes and the Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks, I added Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Inks. I cut the image out using the Layers of Beauty Dies.

I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the small flower centers.

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias

Goos Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I definitely do, I’ll be stamping with friends, seeing new things coming in May and throughout the year and just having a good time with all my stamping friends here at OnStage. Yesterday was a great day with lots of tips and presentations and we did so much laughing, I was crying. I learned some new techniques that I can’t wait to share with my Stamp Camp class. Last night they had a recognition party for us and gave us all a free stamp set. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us today.

I have another quick card for you using the gorgeous Online Exclusive DSP and an older stamp set. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the All That Dies, Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Highland Heather card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Highland Heather Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the All That Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I added a piece of Parakeet Party 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set by the flower and the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower and leaf images from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves CAS Zinnias

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? We had our quarterly in person team meeting yesterday. We got to stamp together and chat a bit. Quite a few of us are getting really excited for our OnStage convention coming up this weekend. We leave Thursday morning bright and early for Houston. I can’t wait to see the new catalog and the new 2024-2026 In-Colors.

Today’s card is a super quick and easy one that we made yesterday at our meeting. This card was designed and presented by Monica Hollis. All the card we made yesterday used Online Exclusive products so over the next week I’ll be sharing the cards we made. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves CAS Zinnias 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Garden Walk 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Deckled Circles Dies, Bough Punch and Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

These are out colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Pretty Peacock using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. I adhered a panel of Garden Walk DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. I adhered another panel of Garden Walk DSP to a Wild Wheat mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink 3 times. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outline leaf image. I stamped the small flower image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the panel 3 times. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the circle. I cut all the leaves and flowers out using the Bough Punch. You may have to cut the cardstock to get them in the punch properly. I adhered the leaves and flowers to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. trim off any excess with Paper Snips. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Calypso Coral 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and adhered it to the bottom of the circle using a Glue Dot. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Prety Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outline leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. I stamped the flower image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink. I randomly stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaves and flowers from the Layering Leaves stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Garden Walk DSP to the envelope flap.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Triple Time

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend.

I was super excited to be asked to be a Featured Stamper for The Color Throwdown Challenge #759 today. Here’s my card for the challenge.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper for my card today. I did the Triple Time Technique for my card with the challenge colors. Would you like to see a quick video on how I made this card? You can see it Here on my Instagram reels.

Here are the colors I was given to work with for my card.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Versamark Ink on the top of the smallest panel of Very Vanilla. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 3 panels of Very Vanilla together lightly using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal and patting it on my pants, so it wasn’t super sticky. I randomly stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the coordinating leaf images. I randomly stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink around the leaves. I adhered the 2 smaller stamped panels of Very Vanilla to coordinating Cherry Cobbler mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the larger card front panel, lining up the leaves, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Gold & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon around the layered panels and tied a bow. I adhered the layered card front to the Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 2 of the small oak leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies from a panel of Distressed Gold Paper. I adhered the leaves to the card front just under the bow using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the leaf images from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks on the sides of the panel. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the coordinating stamped leaves. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Pecan pie Ink around the leaves. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I randomly stamped the leaf images from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the coordinating stamped leaves. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink around the leaves.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going as planned. I’ll be at the dog bakery today. I found out on Friday that there is a sidewalk sale going on in town today, so I’m guessing it’s going to be a little busy, which will make the day fly by. Who wouldn’t want to come out with their pups for some treats and to take advantage of $50 coats marked down to $5, $10 & $15. This is the first Sunday I’ve worked in a while and I’m really looking forward to it.

Today’s card colors have a little story. Have you ever been driving or walking, and you see something and immediately put Stampin’ Up! colors to it? I do all the time. That’s kind of when I knew I needed to be a demonstrator. Anyway, last week my daughter and I were driving home on a usual street we drive on. There was this house that I’m guessing must’ve just gotten painted a short time ago since I’ve never noticed it before. I slowed down and said to her “I have to make a card with those colors”! The house is Misty Moonlight with Very Vanilla trim and a Cajun Craze door. I thought about taking a picture, but I don’t know the people that own the house. Here’s my card using those colors. Let me know what you think and if you have ever done this before.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the image from the Softly Sketched stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a Very Vanilla card front. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the image.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink next to the stamped image. I embossed the card front using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Cajun Craze card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the image from the Softly Sketched stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the side of the panel.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Were you able to enjoy some time outside? I was in all weekend, between working, the storms and the heat & humidity, I wanted nothing to do with outside. I did have to take Coraline for multiple walks though. For some reason when I’m home, she seems to need me to take her out walking every couple hours. When she’s home with my husband and daughter she sleeps all day.

I have a quick card for you today that could be a wedding card, an anniversary card, a birthday card or anything else you want to celebrate with someone. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Gorgeous Garden Dies, 2″ Circle Punch and Bough Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Basic White card front using the Gorgeous Garden Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut card front to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On panels of Basic White, I stamped 2 leaf images and the flower image from the Layering Leaves stamp set 2 times each in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Bough Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and flowers under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Gue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Layereing Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the 2nd set of leaves and flowers to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and flower images from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap.
