Kind of been under the weather the past few days and just did not have the energy to even make a card.  It was a chore to just walk across the floor.  Haven’t had one of these in a while.  It is so irritating when it happens.  All I can do is lie down until it passes.  Lasted longer this time, but much better now. Have you enjoyed my tale of Whoa!?😁

My card today is created using Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends stamp set.  I also used one of the wood trees from March 2024 Paper Pumpkin and a piece of one of the cards.  I believe these cards in this Paper Pumpkin coordinate well with Meandering Meadow Designer Series Paper.

My challenge for this card is Krafty Chicks Challenge.    I just finished as Guest Designer there for the month of March.  It was quiet an experience.  Makes me appreciate with lot of admiration for the ones that are in charge of Challenges.

Ellibelle’s  Crafty Wednesday –  April Challenge   

My card base is Highland Heather cardstock with a layer of Gorgeous Grape as a mat for the piece of the card from the March Paper Pumpkin that I used.  The Paper Pumpkin piece was trimmed and adhered to the Gorgeous Grape cardstock mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

A wood tree from the Paper Pumpkin is colored with Granny Apple Green ink and a Blending Brush.  I was a bit afraid to use my Blends because it being wood, I thought it might ruin the tip of the pen.  I find that just coloring a rhinestone or pearl fuzzies up the tip.  The Paper Pumpkin piece was trimmed and adhered to the Gorgeous Grape cardstock mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

An image from Stampin’ Up! Coffee With Friends stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  It is colored using Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.  The image is then fussy cut and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Adhesive Backed Dragon Flies and Birds are popped around the card front.

The sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  A scrap from Meandering Meadow Designer Series Paper is adhered down the left side of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

An envelope from the March Paper Pumpkin is used as the envelope instead of decorating the flap of a Basic White envelope.
