We had another great day of sight seeing in Maui!  We did a helicopter tour of the island and took tons of photos.  I’ll be sharing those soon!  I used the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked stamp set bundle to create a clean and simple card to share with you today.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card stock with the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the front of a Thick Basic White card base.

I cut a banner in the end of a panel of Expressions In Ink Specialty DSP with my Paper Snips and then cut a panel of Gold Foil Sheets with one of the Artistic Dies.  I adhered the die cut to the back of the DSP panel with Stampin’ Seal and then adhered the banner to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a panel of Pale Papaya card stock, sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder from the Metallics Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Hippo & Friends Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.  I used a tiny dot of Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the die cut leaves over the sentiment and then added three Gilded Gems to finish the card front.

I stamped the flower and leaf images from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Pear Pizzazz inks on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.

I’ve created a printable PDF with written instructions and a list of products used to create this project.  You can download, print and/or save it by clicking this image:
