I used the Too Kind stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to create my card to share today.  My card design was inspired by the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #219 and the colors were inspired by The Paper Players #195.

I started by adhering a panel of the Etcetera DSP (on sale through May 19 for 25% off) to a Calypso Coral card base with SNAIL.  Then I adhered a smaller strip from that same DSP pack to a strip of Calypso Coral card stock, then to the card front with SNAIL.

I cut a strip of Pear Pizzazz card stock with the Finished Touches Edgelits Die and I adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.  Quick tip:  Place a piece of wax paper between your card stock and the die and it will slide right out of the die without ripping.  It also makes those little oval shapes so much easier to get out too!

Then I stamped the images and sentiment from the Too Kind stamp set in So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral inks on a Very Vanilla panel.  I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to help with placement of the flowers and sentiment.  I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Calypso Coral card stock with SNAIL, then adhered the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used my dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blendabilities Marker to color a Vintage Faceted Designer Button and I adhered it to the card front with a Glue Dot.  I tied a bow from Gold Baker’s Twine and adhered it over the button with a rolled up Glue Dot.  I love the way that the button turned a pretty pale green when I colored it!

I adhered a strip of the leftover Etcetera DSP to a strip of Calypso Coral card stock, then to a Very Vanilla panel to complete the inside of the card.
