I used the Hip Notes stamp set and a little Retro Fresh DSP from Stampin’ Up! to create my card to share today.  My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #134.

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla panel with the Arrows Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to a Baked Brown Sugar card base with SNAIL.

Then I stamped the sentiment from the Hip Notes stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) in Baked Brown Sugar ink on a strip of Retro Fresh DSP and I adhered that DSP strip to the card front with SNAIL.  I cut a half circle from Baked Brown Sugar card stock with one of the Circles Collection Framelits Dies and I adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.

I cut a half circle from Retro Fresh DSP with the Starburst Framelits die and I adhered it over the Baked Brown Sugar half circle with SNAIL.  Then I adhered a thin strip of Baked Brown Sugar card stock to the card front with SNAIL.

I wrapped a strip of Gold Baker’s Twine around the card front twice and tied a bow, then adhered random sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to complete the embellishments.

I adhered a strip of Retro Fresh DSP to a strip of Baked Brown Sugar card stock, then to a Very Vanilla panel with SNAIL to complete the inside of the card.
