Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Birthday

Good Sunday morning stamping friends, Happy June!!! How is your weekend going? I’ll be at work super early today so I can get the bills done and have the rest of the day for myself.

Today’s card I did a little Emboss Resist Technique. I haven’t done this in a while, and I forgot how much I like it.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! the Right Words Cling Stamp Set, Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #361 In the Corner.

I also played along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #271 I went down the left side with Soft Colors, Paid and Flowers.

Using the Blending Brush, add Pool Party Ink to an Irresistible Designs DSP panel. Adhere the inked panel to a Pool Party card base with Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Petal Pink, stamp the floral image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with White Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the image out using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Color the image with Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Write Markers. Gently wipe over the image with a tissue to remove any ink from the embossing. Adhere the artwork to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
