I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration exclusive What I Love stamp set and the soon-to-be retired 2014-16 In Colors to create my cards to share today.
The cards are all the same layout, just different ink and card stock colors.
The design for my card was inspired by Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #39.
And the thank you theme for my card was inspired by Global Design Project GDP#027.
I started by stamping the flower outline image from the What I Love photopolymer stamp set (Sale-a-bration item) in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock. Then I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Whisper White card stock with SNAIL and to a Mossy Meadow card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I embossed a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock with the Fluttering Embossing Folder, then adhered it to a panel of Whisper White card stock and to the card front with SNAIL. I adhered two strips of the Mossy Meadow Washi Tape from the In Color 2014-2016 Designer Washi Tape to a strip of Mossy Meadow card stock, punched the end with the Banner Triple Punch and adhered it with SNAIL to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment from the What I Love stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock, sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it. I stamped the leaf and flower images from that stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink over the panel (stamping the leaves several times without reinking), then adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Whisper White card stock with SNAIL.
I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, then added a single Pearl Basic Jewel to finish the card front.
I stamped the flower and leaf outline images from the What I Love stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card.
Here are some closer shots of the Blackberry Bliss and Lost Lagoon cards.
And here are the Tangelo Twist and Hello Honey cards.
