Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Purple Hydrangea

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I have to work again today; I still have a couple cashiers out so I’m filling in.

Today’s card is another one that I was playing with colors with the blending. This bundle will be available starting on Tuesday as part of the new Online Exclusives. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden in Purple 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Flower Cart Photopolymer Stamp Set, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere the Basic White panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’ve hit the halfway mark of the week already and on our way to the weekend.

Last night was my Stamp Camp Card Class, which is always a lot of fun. Today’s card is the 1st one we made using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty Cling Stamp Set along with the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Subtle DSP to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I took a panel of Basic White cardstock and using Masking Paper, I sectioned off the card front. Using my Blending Brush, I added Sahara Sand Ink on the sectioned portion. Once I had the amount of color I wanted, I removed the Masking Paper.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the 2 bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set on the panel in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set randomly on the bamboo in Pear Pizzazz Ink.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the card front to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock. I stamped the thinner bamboo and leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of Subtle DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bamboo and leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the envelope front and 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! Marigold Moments for Fun Fold Friday

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’ll be at work all day tomorrow, I’m hoping it’s a little busier than it’s been. Last night I went to a fundraiser for the Meghan Rose Bradley Foundation. It’s a fundraiser for pediatric brain cancer. It was ladies’ night out, and I went with everyone from the Hungry Hound Dog Boutique where I work part time. The theme was Princesses in Pajamas. The owner decided that there were going to be too many princesses and they needed a villain. I thought I’d share a picture of all of us that went. We had such a good time and won a prize for best group dressed up, and the fundraiser was a huge success.

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 is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Bundle, Something Fancy Dies, Vellum Basics Paper and Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. It will be much easier to watch the video to see how I folded the card since it’s hard to explain.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by placing the triangle template in the top left corner of my card and very lightly drew a line with a pencil. I scored on the pencil line back and forth a couple times to give it a good score. I folded the card base back and forth then opened the card and folded the center score line as a mountain fold and the 2 triangle score lines as valley folds.

I used this triangle for my template for the DSP and card base.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I placed the triangle template on my Vellum Basic Paper in the top left corner and again lightly drew a line with a pencil. I cut along the line using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the Vellum to the Highland Heather card front. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large, detailed marigold image from the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis Ink. I stamped the large solid marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink over the detailed image. I stamped the larger stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink and the details inside the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the images out using the Marigold Moments Dies. I adhered the stem to the flowers using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower along the diagonal card top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using the White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the stems with a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and a Dragonfly Trinket.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside I cut a panel of Subtle DSP the same way that I did the Vellum, except I put the triangle template on the bottom left corner and turned it upside down. I drew a light line using my pencil and cut on the pencil line. I adhered the DSP to the top inside of the card front. For the DSP triangle I cut 1/2″ off the 2 3/4″ side. I adhered the triangle to the top inside triangle of the card base. I cut the Basic White panel the same as I did the Vellum panel. I cut 1/2″ off the 2 3/4″ side of the triangle piece and adhered it to the triangle on the card base bottom. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the smaller stem and leaf images from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink 3 times. I stamped the details on the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the small detail marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Bermuda Bay, Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the small solid marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Pool Party, Highland Heather and Blushing Bride Inks over the detailed images. I cut all the images out using the Marigold Moments Dies. I adhered the stems to the flowers using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I arranged the flowers and leaves on the small white triangle that popped up when you open the card.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the cut panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Mint Macaron Ink and the details in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the detailed flower image in Orchid Oasis Ink and the solid flower image in Highland Heather Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the envelope front and the details in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the detail flower image in Orchid Oasis Ink and the solid flower image in Highland Heather Ink. I adhered a panel of Subtle 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! Ranunculus Romance Hello

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works.

Today’s card I made at our monthly Team Stamping Studio. Each month we have a ‘meeting’ and after we get the business portion done, we do a little mystery stamping. Jaimie gives us measurements of cardstock and DSP and walks us through putting the card together. All of our cards are different with a similar design. Here’s what I came up with.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Bundle, Beautiful Shapes Dies and Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Subtle DSP to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 different size hexagons from the Beautiful Shapes Dies, the larger one in Basic White and the smaller one from a panel of Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper. I embossed the larger Basic White hexagon using my Basics 3D Embossing Folder (available March 1). I adhered the embossed hexagon to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the DSP hexagon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image using my Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using my Ranunculus Dies. I adhered the die cut rose to the embossed hexagon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the bee image from the Queen Bee stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I added a little color to the bee using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the sentiment out using the Ranunculus Dies and I cut the bee out using my Queen Bee Dies. I adhered the sentiment and bee to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image using my Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home for Fun Fold Friday

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’ll be at work both days this weekend.

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 is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Cling Stamp Set and the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is the template for the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I scored, cut and folded a Basic White Thick card base as in the template above. I adhered 2 panels of Subtle DSP to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the small flower image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the larger of the flowers in the bouquet using my Blushing Bride Ink and my Water Painter filled with alcohol. I cut the image our using the Flowers of Home Dies. From a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock, I cut a few sprigs using the Flowers of Home Dies. I adhered a piece White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon to the left card front panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flower image over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs under the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside of the panel, I adhered panels of the Subtle DSP along the top and bottom. On either side, I adhered sprigs that I cut from panels of Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron cardstock using the Flowers of Home Dies. I wanted a small bumblebee, so I stamped the bumblebee images from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Cling Stamp Set in Smoky slate Ink on either side of the center pop section.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat then to the small pop up panel on the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Birthday

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do something fun. It was a gloomy one here in NJ.

Today’s card I played with one of my favorite sets from the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. I used it last Wednesday for my live and I think I had mentioned that I wasn’t sure I was going to like it alot. I do and I’ve been playing with it a lot. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Queen Bee Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Bundle, the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set, Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper and Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Queen Bee Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the card front on an angle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I embossed the panel using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. Using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker and the flicking technique, I added black ink on the embossed panel.

Stampin' Up! Queen Bee Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the flower and small bee images from the Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images using the Queen Bee Dies. I colored the flowers only using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Queen Bee Dies, I cut the hives from a panel of Basic Black cardstock and the leaves and flowers from a panel of So Saffron cardstock. I adhered the floral image and small bee to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Queen Bee Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiments from the Queen Bee stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Queen Bee Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the embossed panel overlapping the flowers a little using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the die cut leaves under the sentiment using Glue Dots. I adhered the hives around the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Classic Matte Dots to the flower centers. I tied a small bow using the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the floral and bee images from the Queen Bee stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I randomly stamped the newsprint image from the Queen Bee stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans yet for the weekend? I’ll be at work tomorrow all day. I’m hoping to de-Christmas my house this weekend too, it’s time to take the decorations down. I was going to start today, but I’m not sure how much I’ll get done. Coraline starts her training classes today. I’m really looking forward to these. As good of a puppy she is, she needs that discipline, and she is one stubborn little girl.

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 is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus Bundle and the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Subtle DSP to a So Saffron card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the bottom triangle only of the card base. I adhered a strip of the Subtle DSP to the side panel of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the outline lemon image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the inside pulp image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in So Saffron Ink over the outline image. Using the Sweet Citrus Dies and Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder, I cut and embossed the images. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaf image multiple times in Granny Apple Green Ink. I cut the leaves out using the Sweet Citrus Dies. I adhered cut lemon pieces to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the lemons using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added Faux Sea Glass Shapes to the lemon pieces as seeds.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the ends of the sentiment using my Paper Snips on an angle. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower images from the Sweet Citrus stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Smoky Slate Ink and the centers in Daffodil Delight Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat then to the inside of the So Saffron card base. I adhered the solid lemon image to the bottom corner of the inner liner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the lemon using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the lemon wedge image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set on the envelope front in Daffodil Delight and So Saffron Inks. I adhered a panel of the Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope everyone has had a wonderful week and are getting ready for the weekend. I’m sorry I missed doing my Fun Fold Friday live on Wednesday, but I’m still not doing well from the Covid. I don’t remember the last time I had so little energy and all I wanted to do was nap. Anyone that knows me, knows that I don’t nap unless I’m sitting on the beach listening to the seagulls and waves.

I made one of the quickest fun fold cards for today. This is one of my go-to fun folds when I want to make a quick one. It’s a book fold card. I also needed a square card for a challenge that I’m joining in on. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Framed & Festive Cling Stamp Set along with the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #560.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #494.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding the card base as listed below. I adhered the binder part of the card together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 3 panels of Subtle DSP to the 3 Rich Razzleberry mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink. I cut the sentiment out using one of the frames from the Framed Florets Dies. On another panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the longer floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink twice. I cut the images out using the Framed Florets Dies. I colored the leaves using the Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the flowers in using my Clear Wink of Stella Brush as a paint brush and my Rich Razzleberry Ink. I cut a few of the detailed leaves from the Framed Florets Dies from a panel of the White Glimmer Paper.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the frame to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the oval sentiment inside the frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the floral images to the framed using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the detailed leaves using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the floral image from the Framed Florets stamp set in the corner of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Rich Razzleberry mat then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Framed Florets stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of the Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.
