Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream for Fun Fold Friday Video Tutorial

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I did something very different on Wednesday night. A group of us from the dog bakery went to the Spotted Leaf for a terrarium making class. It was so much fun, the instructor started us from the bottom up on making it and we got to pick our own plants to put inside. She said the plants that we were picking only needed to be watered ever 2 weeks. Now I just have to keep it alive. When we were done, some of us went out into the store and purchased more plants. I grow a lot of outside plants and flowers, I don’t have much luck with inside ones, but I thought I’d give it a try.

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! Daffodil Daydream Bundle along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper, (this is a Sale-a-bration item) and the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I started with a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP and scored it at 2″, 4″, 8″ & 10″. I made a mark 2″ from the bottom of either side and cut up from the mark to the 2nd score line on each side. I adhered the 2 small panels that I cut off on either side to the bottom of the panel on each side. I folded in on the inner 2 score lines and out on the outer 2 score lines.

Using my Daffodil Dies and a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I cut 4 of the daffodil leaf dies and 2 of the daffodil throat dies. From a panel of Pale Papaya cardstock I cut 4 of the detailed leaf dies and 2 of the detailed throat dies. From a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock I cut 2 of the stems and 4 of the leaf dies. I adhered all the parts together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and a Stampin’ Dimensional for the daffodil throat to the daffodil leaves. I adhered the daffodil heads to the stem, making sure to face them opposite ways. I adhered the flowers to the inside of the outside folded area using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Painted Labels Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the left side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the sentiment. I adhered the card to a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock for stability.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the single daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the splatter image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink around the daffodil, stamping off once. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat and then to the inside of the card base. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered it to the inside panel.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the single daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the splatter image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink around the flower image. I adhered a panel of Daffodil Afternoon 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.

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Can you believe that it’s the last day of April already? Another month that flew by. Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be working tomorrow in the office for the 1st of the month getting my bills out and I’ll be working all day on Sunday too.

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! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I started with a Smoky Slate card base and scored it at 4 1/4″ & 2 1/2″. On the front of the card base I made a little mark 1 1/2″ up from the bottom. I cut from the top of the 4 1/4″ score line to the 1 1/2″ mark on an angle. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I made a little mark 1 1/2″ up from the bottom right side. I cut from the top corner to the 1 1/2″ mark on an angle. I cut the Basic White panel in half at 2″.

On the taller piece of the Basic White cardstock I stamped the medium tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. I stamped the stems and leaf images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On the smaller panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the smallest tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the small panel to the Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a butterfly from a scrap of Highland Heather cardstock using the new Meadow Dies (available May 4th) and adhered it to the small panel, hanging off, using Glue Dots.

On the inside panel I stamped the medium tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink twice on the right side of the panel. I stamped the stem and leaf images in Granny Apple Green Ink. On the scrap piece of Basic White cardstock I had cut off the panel, I stamped the large tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather Ink and punched it out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I stamp the leaf image a couple times in Granny Apple Green Ink on the same panel and punched them out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I adhered the large tulip to the stamped stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a couple of the leaves to the stamped stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the smaller butterfly from the Meadow Dies from a scrap of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered it to the Basic White panel using Glue Dots. I added a few Opal Rounds by the tulips.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the envelope front and the small tulip in Highland Heather Ink. I stamped the stems and leaves in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered a panel of the Subtle 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. 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! Prized Peony Mother’s Day CAS

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Hope you are doing some fun things, hiking, gardening or maybe just relaxing. I’ll be at work all day today, but yesterday I had a very productive day. I did a little of everything, inside and out. I’m still trying to get my house back in order since all the workers are done. That’s not going to happen in 1 or 2 days though. I was able to spend a little time outside cutting the grass and gardening a little.

For today’s card I used a set that is going to be carrying over to the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. The Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from The Spot Challenge #158.

I started by adhering a panel of the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper to a Petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Ornate Layers Dies. I stamped the smallest peony from the Prized Peony stamp set in Petal Pink Ink and adhered the die cut to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I adhered the strip to a Gray Granite mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a small bow using the 5/8″ Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small peony from the Prized Peony stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small peony from the Prized Peony stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Peony Garden DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Mother’s Day

Posted on by
10

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did you have a nice Easter? My niece and her family and my nephew came over for brunch and by 3pm everyone was gone and I was able to take a nice walk and relax. I even got a little craft time in for me.

I have a quick card for you today using the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set. I’m happy to say that this set will be carrying over to the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #479.

My colors are from TGIF Challenge #310.

I started by adhering a panel of Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper to a Blushing Bride card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock on the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped one of the seashell images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Pool Party Ink on 2 of the corners. I adhered the sentiment to a Pool party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Opal Rounds to the card card front.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Sand & Sea DSP to the Blushing Bride card base using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the 2nd sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink under the 1st. I stamped the seashell from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Pool Party Ink, full strength and stamped off, in the 2 corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the seashell image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Sand & Sea 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! Timeless Tulips CAS Easter Card

Posted on by
4

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I went from one job to the other yesterday. The dog bakery is a little short staffed and we’re running out of time to get all the Easter treats out. So I went in yesterday for a few hours and I told them I’d help out and come in today. I’m not sure about tomorrow yet.

For today I have a simple stamping card for you. This is a perfect card for a beginner stamper that doesn’t have a lot of product. I used a stamp set, some ink and paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card. Nothing screams spring and Easter like some tulips.

I started by stamping the stems and leaves images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. I stamped the tulip images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the stems.

I adhered the card front to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to a Petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On the inside I stamped a single tulip in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the stems and leaves from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Garden Green Ink over the tulip stem. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tulip images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Fine Art Floral DSP to 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty CAS Easter Card

Posted on by
12

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was beautiful here. Unfortunately I was inside both days working. Luckily it’s still light out when I get out of work so I was able to enjoy some of the beautiful sunshine.

I have a Clean and Simple card for you today using the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from the Fab Friday Challenge #209.

I also played along with The Paper Players Challenge #533.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Stitched With Whimsy Dies. I adhered the card front to a Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bunny image from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the grass image from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, some in full strength and some stamped off. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a thin strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a strip of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using a Glue Dot and adhered it to the artwork using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips in Gray Granite Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the bunny image from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the grass image from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, some full strength and some stamped off. I used the Stitched With Whimsy Dies and embossed the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny and grass images from the Nature’s Garden stamp set on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Neutrals 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Hydrangea Haven Easter

Posted on by
7

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend? We’re having a beautiful spring weekend here.

I have an Easter card for you today using the Floral Gallery Dies, the Stampin’ Up! Hydrangea Haven Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here is my card for today.

My design is from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge #497.

I started by adhering a panel of the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper to a Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock and 2 strips of Gorgeous Grape cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. I cut the sentiment out of a panel of Gorgeous Grape cardstock using the Floral Gallery Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment to the Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 2 strips of Gorgeous Grape cardstock to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I made a small bow using the Gorgeous Grape 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon and adhered it to the sentiment using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink in the 2 corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set across the bottom of the envelope front in Gorgeous Grape Ink. I adhered a panel of the Hydrangea Hill 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! Forever Blossoms for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set for my Spotlight Technique card today. Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by stamping just the top part of the largest floral die from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Basic White card front twice.

Using my Layering Oval Dies I cut the center of the panel out. I colored just the flowers and leaves using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers on the oval cut out. I adhered the card front to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the oval back to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped part of the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink. I adhered the strip to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Glue Dot. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the bottom of the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set I used for the card front in Sahara Sand Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the side of the panel and colored it in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Seaside View Hello for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  How is everyone doing today?  With any luck, by the time you are reading this, I’ll be at the Jersey Shore for the day.  If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we had a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects .
Here is the sketch we had to work from.

Here’s my card using this sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the palm tree and Adirondack chair images from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside View Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink.  I stamped the sand image from the Stampin’ Up! High Tide Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink multiple times on the bottom of the panel.  I stamped the grass image from the High Tide stamp set in Just Jade Ink around the palm tree.  I colored the sky using my Balmy Blue and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped the birds from the Seaside View stamp set in Soft Suede Ink.  I colored all the images in using my Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Just Jade, Misty Moonlight and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered the artwork to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I cut the image out using the smallest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Seaside View stamp set in Just Jade Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the palm tree and bird images from the Seaside View stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel and either side of the sentiment.  I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake, Just Jade and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the palm tree and bird images from the Seaside View stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front.  I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake, Just Jade and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Peony Garden

Posted on by
4

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone doing today?  Did anyone do anything fun yesterday?  Does anyone have plans for today?  I’m going into work just to relieve my cashiers so they can take a lunch break.  I’m hoping to only be there for an hour or 2 at the most.

When I buy my stamp sets and accessories, I rarely by a whole suite.  There is always something that I’m sure I won’t use.  That’s NOT the case with the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.  I’ve bought quite a few of the Suites this time around.  This catalog is just so awesome.  For today’s card I’ve used a little of everything from the Peony Garden Suite.  My card was inspired by my neighbors flowers.  When I walk out my side door he has these beautiful flowers.  I just figured out what they were.  Here’s what I walk out to everyday (he doesn’t live this close, I zoomed in).

Here is my card inspired by these flowers.

I started by cutting the sides of a Just Jade card front using the Peony Dies.  There is a border die in the set that is absolutely gorgeous.  I then embossed a smaller panel of Just Jade cardstock using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Magenta Madness mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered a Square Vellum Doilie to the embossed panel using a couple tiny drops of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the top of the vellum.  I adhered the matted DSP on top of the doilie using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the large peony image from the Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the image in using my Just Jade and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers and  cut the image out using my Peony Dies.  I adhered a piece of the Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon to the card front DSP using Glue Dots.  I adhered the cut peony image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the card front to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Elegant Faceted Gems.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Prized Peony stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the medium peony image from the Prized Peony stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink, stamping off twice, over the sentiment.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Magenta Madness mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the small peony image from the Prized Peony stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front.  I colored the image in using my Just Jade and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of the Peony Garden 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!!
