Stampin’ Up! Here’s A Card
Do I say Happy Pollen Day or Happy Thursday, either way, we are covered up in pollen. I suppose that is the price of having beautiful flowers and trees that bloom in the spring.
My card today features my favorite DSP that will be retiring soon, so I want to use it while I can.
My inspirations are from two challenges today.
Just Us Girls. Their challenge this week is Stripes.
And.. 
Tuesday Morning Sketches with a great sketch challenge for the week. These two challenges combine very well for my creation today.
I started with a Basic Black card stock base adding a layer of True Love DSP matted with Basic White card stock.
I cut a panel of True Love DSP that has flowers, cropped a circle from the middle using Layering Circle Dies, and then colored using Rococo Rose, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, Soft Suede and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. Once colored, I popped it back over the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The cropped panel was matted on a Basic White card stock panel before popping the circle back in.
I adhered the colored panel to the card front, popped three pearls from Pastel Pearls to the lower left of the card front. I stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink a greeting from Here’s A Card Stamp Set on a scrap of Basic White card stock and flagged one end, then popped on the lower right corner.
The inside is left blank for a note as this is a thank you card. I did add a strip of the True Love DSP and curved it up the page a bit.
A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the True Love DSP added to the flap.

My card today features the soon-to-be retired Floral Essence Stamp Set along with the Stitched Lace Dies and the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. 
Start with a Highland Heather card stock card base and layer a panel of the same that has been embossed using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. Cut a panel of the 2021-2022 Incolor DSP in Highland Heather, mat on a panel of Basic White card stock. Adhere over the embossed panel of Ornate Floral Highland Heather card stock. Crop a panel of Basic White card stock using the Stitched Lace Die. Cut a strip of the finished crop for the band across the Ornate Floral embossed panel.

The Basic White envelope flap gets embossed using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.
The card I am featuring today is created using the Whale of A Time. It is amazing how you get stuck on some stamp set or DSP and continue to make cards from the same set because you feel it is your favorite and you have so many others that you have barely made one card with it. That is why I decided to use this today, I have maybe used it once and it will probably be one of the sets that gets retired soon.
The card today features the Detailed Hearts Dies and Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set. Products used and card cuts are at the end of this post.
The envelope flap gets a panel of the Flower & Field DSP on it also.
