Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles
Happy Friday everyone, many have a three day weekend and I am sure you are planning a fun time since there is an extra day. This weekend is like the official end of summer and everyone is thinking of the long usually school year ahead. I know many schools do not start until the day after Labor Day, as it should be. Children do not need to go to school in the hot of summer. I think the school system here started the last week of July. That is much too early. The school I worked at for 9 years starts the day after Labor Day. That’s enough lamenting about the school systems. Have a glorious weekend as you relax and have fun with family and friends.
The card I am sharing today is one I haven’t used before, I’ve picked it up, looked at it and put it back on the shelf, so I thought it was time to give it a try. It is the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. I have seen so many pretty cards made using it.
The challenge I am playing with today is Inspire. Create. Stamping Challenges. Sketch Challenge
My card starts with a Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand card stock base. Next up is a Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock mat for the focal panel which is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Woven Threads Designer Series Paper cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies. These are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
The Woven Threads DSP panel being the focal panel is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock ink and the Stamping’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. Once stamped, a circle die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Dies is used to cut a circle from the panel. This circle will be added back to the opening using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals once the 1″ strip of the Woven Threads DSP is partially adhered over the opening of the circle.
A bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread. It is adhered using a Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dot. A single butterfly to give just a pop of color to the card is punch from a scrap of the Woven Threads DSP and popped on the circle using a Glue Dot.
The greeting is added in the left corner of the panel using Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand ink and a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Around The Corner Stamp Set. I like this stamp set and have cut other stamps apart to achieve the same effect as this stamp set gives. I store these stamps along with this set so I will know where they are when needed for a card. Three Adhesive Backed Sequins are placed randomly around the card front.
The inside sentiment panel is Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla card stock matted on a panel of the Pretty Peacock card stock and stamped with stamps from the Very Versaille Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock ink.
The envelope flap has been given a panel of the Woven Threads DSP. It coordinates with the strip on the card front.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you liked my card and find inspiration or encouragement from it and maybe give it a try.

I think the card I am sharing today turned out lovely. I thought it was going to be one of those blah! cards but no it isn’t.
The card base is Whisper White, the mat embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder is Whisper White, the lace panel cut using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Lace Dies is Whisper White. 
The rose is stamped on a 3″ square of Whisper White using Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler ink and the rose stamp from the Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Stamp Set. The first stamping is full strength, the second is stamped off once to get the lighter color. The berry branch is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink and using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Bundle. Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler and Pear Pizzazz inks are used along with a Stampin’ Up! Blender Pen to color the berries and leaves.
Today was not a very creative card day. I made 4 cards before I settled on this one. Each one seemed to be tackier than the one before. So they were filed in the treasure file– you know the round bin!
Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Backed Sequins and Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are randomly placed on the card front after the art piece is popped on using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set and is stamped on the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White circle that has been cut using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shape Dies.
In creating the card I am sharing today, Stampin’ Up! Woven Threads Designer Series Paper (DSP) is the focal point. I have not used this DSP before and never really given it a good look. It has some lovely designs and colors. I noticed that all the Stampin’ Up! 2019-2021 In- Colors are represented in this DSP. I’ve added the rose from the April 2019 Paper Pumpkin Inspirational Rose stamp set. It matches the rose in the Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Stamp Set.
The second mat is a panel from the Pressed Petals DSP and is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Pinewoods Plank Embossing Folder. They are adhered using Multipurpose Glue.
Pearls from Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewel are scattered on the card front. A bow is made and adhered with a Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dot. I believe the twine for the bow is from a Paper Pumpkin kit.
