Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Mother’s Day

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do something fun.

Today’s card is one that we are going to make at my Stamp Camp card class tomorrow night. I thought I’d focus on using some designer series paper with the ladies. I know I always used to struggle with how and when to use it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating you Cling Stamp Set along with the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper for my card today. Tomorrow night the ladies are all going to be making this card, but they will all have different designs of the DSP and different color card stock for their cards. I can’t wait to see how different they all come out.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Polished Pink mat and then to a Thick Basic White card base.

I cut 4 panels of the Expressions in Ink DSP using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the 4 cut panels of DSP to 4 Polished Pink mats and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the same side Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to a Polished Pink mat. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Expressions in Ink DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink 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 Expressions in Ink DSP on 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! Back On Your Feet Giraffe

Posted on by
8

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? The cold weather is back here for us. It’s only supposed to get up to 36 today and drop to 23 tonight. We even had a snow squall go through yesterday while I was at work. We may skip spring this year and go right to summer like we have in the past.

Today’s card is a special one. Some of you know that I was a Girl Scout when I was younger, and I was Girl Scout Leader for 13 years for my daughter. I had girls from kindergarten all the way up to graduation from high school. I bridged them to adult Girl Scouts in June of 2016. One of my girl scouts that I had for the full 13 years, I always called her the wild child, was in a car accident a few weeks ago. She got banged up pretty bad was in the hospital for a week and had to have knee surgery along with some others. I thought I’d make her a card letting her know that we were thinking of her and hoping that she has a speedy recovery. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet Cling Stamp Set along with the In The Wild Designer Series Paper and the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Bumblebee card base. I embossed a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of In The Wild DSP to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and set aside.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the giraffe image from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped just the leaf from the sloth image on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using my Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the layered panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a piece of the Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Trim around the layered panels and tied a bow. On a small piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment out from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it our using my Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the left of the artwork using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the giraffe image to the right of the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the giraffe image from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of In The Wild 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 that this stamp set, and both of the DSP’s will be retiring soon on May 2nd. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! In Symmetry Thanks

Posted on by
2

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It’s actually warming up a little here, but this could just be another tease here in NJ. I’m counting the days till spring gets here.

Today’s card is one more that we made at our class last week. I focused on using the 2020-2022 In-Colors since they will be retiring in April. Each of the ladies had a different card for this one. I cut different DSP patterns for each of them to make the cards just a little different. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In Symmetry Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by cutting the center of a Sweet Symmetry card front panel using the 4th largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the larger panel of the DSP to a Just Jade card base.

I adhered the cut panel of Sweet Symmetry DSP to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade & Gold 3/8″ Braided Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow on the side. I adhered the panel to the center of the card front, making sure to line up the flowers, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stem and leaves from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on top of the stem. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade 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 stem and leaf images from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on top of the stem. I adhered a panel of Sweet Symmetry 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! 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! Friendly Hello for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning my stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but I have off on Sunday, YAY!!! The cold weather is back here. We had that little tease of spring again on Wednesday with the temperature at 70, now we’re back down to the 20’s and 30’s.

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! Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and cutting a Basic White Thick card base. I scored an 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base at 4 1/4″ and cut 1 3/4″ off the front right of the card base. I adhered a panel of Sunshine & Rainbows DSP to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the front of a Basic White Thick card front.

On a 1 1/2″ strip of Basic White cardstock I made marks every 1/2″ along both sides using a pencil so I could erase them when I was done if they were showing. I took 2 different panel of 3″ X 6″ Sunshine & Rainbows DSP and cut 1/2″ strips. Starting at the top of the panel, I adhered one pattern of the DSP on an angle. I then adhered the other panel of the DSP going the opposite way over the top of the 1st pattern. I trimmed off all the excess using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the right back of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Bermuda Bay Ink. I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Flirty Flamingo between the leafy images. I cut the sentiment out using the 3rd from the smallest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half. I added a few Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Bermuda Bay Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink between the leafy images. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the bottom of the envelope. I stamped the berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink between the leafy images. I adhered a panel of Sunshine & Rainbows 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 my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Daffodils

Posted on by
8

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through and on the downhill to the weekend.

Today’s card used some more of the Sale-a-bration items that are available only until Monday February 28th for free. My card has very little stamping today, it’s all about the DSP. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by cutting the center of a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP using the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I then cut the center out of the smaller panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP using the 5th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I adhered the largest panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP to a Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the other 2 panels of Daffodil Afternoon DSP to Bumblebee mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smallest layered panel to the medium layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Windowpane Check Ribbon around the layered panels and tied a bow.

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Tasteful Labels Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I adhered 2 strips of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and the to the inside of the Bumblebee card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Daffodil Afternoon 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! Awesome Otters Birthday Card

Posted on by
2

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Hope your week has started out productive. Just a reminder that we are down to our last 6 days of Sale-a-bration, it ends on Monday February 28th.

For the past week I’ve been featuring all the wonderful free products that you can earn with Sale-a-bration. Last week was mostly the Calming Camellia set. This week, I’ve been mixing it up. I’ve also been putting my fussy cutting to the test and today’s card is now exception. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Awesome Otters Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by cutting the center out of a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the large cut panel to a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the smaller panel of cut DSP, I stamped the otter in the water image from the Awesome Otters stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the water drops in using my Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Marker. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the same otter image and birthday hat image from the Awesome Otters stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the otter in using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the otter and hat using my Paper Snips and adhered them to the small panel over the stamped image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the small DSP panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front, matching the lines on the DSP. On a thin strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Awesome Otters stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few of the new Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels (coming March 1) to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Special Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otters stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Coastal Cabana mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the otter image and the sentiment from the Awesome Otters stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous 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! Island Vibes CAS Thanks

Posted on by
6

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s a bit on the chilly side here. We got that little tease of spring on Thursday and Friday, and I want more lol. I had to work all day yesterday, but last night my upline Jaimie ran a Galentine’s party virtually for us. It was a lot of fun as usual. This is such a great team to be a part of. I’m part of a smaller team and then we have our big team. I would love for you to be a part of it too. Contact me if you are interested in being a part of it @ creativestampingdesigns @gmail.com. Now’s the perfect time to join, see all the details below.

Today’s card uses 3 of the Sale-a-bration items that is only available until Monday along with another one of the 2020-2022 In-Colors that will be retiring soon. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Island Vibes Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP to a Just Jade card base. I think this soft panel is my favorite of the pack.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the palm image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the potted palm tree image from the Island Vibes on the bottom of the panel using my Cinnamon Cider and Just Jade Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink in the center of the panel. I cut the panel using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I embossed the Basic White panel using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered the embossed panel to a Just Jade mat. I made a small bow using the Just Jade and Gold 3/8″ Braided Ribbon and adhered it to the panel using Glue Dots. I wrapped the tails around the back of the panel and adhered them with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Metallic Pearls.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the palm image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the potted palm tree image from the Island Vibes stamp set, colored with my Cinnamon Cider and Just Jade Stampin’ Write Markers on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam 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 potted palm tree image from the Island Vibes stamp set on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card today. If these are 3 items that you have been eyeing up, now’s a great time to grab them before they’re gone. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends Birthday

Posted on by
10

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! Daffodil Daydream CAS Thanks

Posted on by
10

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

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

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

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

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #519.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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