Are you ready for Christmas and just waiting for the excitement of the coming day?  I’m still in the Christmas card mode.  I still have a few to make and I know they will be late but just want friends to know I am thinking of them.

This is another sneak peak of what’s coming in January. Stampin’ Up!! Detailed Dogwood stamp set   is a Sale-a-Bration free stamp set with a qualifying order.  I know Stampin’ Up! doesn’t carry over SAB items to another catalog, but this is one stamp set I wish that could happen for.   I also used Exposed Brick 3 D Embossing Folder and a panel of Designer Series Paper from Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.  I don’t believe I have ever made a card that Stampin’ Up! shows in the catalogs, so I have decided to try and make as many of them as possible.  This one is from the Sale-a-Bration brochure.  

I am entering the Can You Handle The Pressure? Challenge for this card.

The card stock is Flirty Flamingo for the card base.  I embossed a panel of the same using the Exposed Brick 3 D Embossing Folder. This panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A panel of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper is adhered over the embossing panel after having the edges roughed up and the edges  brushed with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush. This panel is adhered at a slight angle

Flowers from Stampin’ Up! Detailed Dogwood stamp set is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on Basic White card stock then colored using Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Using Calypso Coral ink, dots are stamp across the bottom of the Nature’s Sweetness  panel using a stamp from the same stamp set.  A strip of Vellum  and Natural Wavy Trim are adhered around the card front above the dots.  The flower piece is popper over them using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using  two decorative  stamps from the stamp set one is stamped on the Nature’s Sweetness panel, the other is stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock fussy cut and popped on the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional. Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels are colored using a Calypso Coral Stampin Blends Marker, then popped on the card front.  A Linen  Thread double bow is made and popped on the flower stem using a Mini Glue Dot.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set is stamped on a piece of Basic White card stock in a combination of Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake ink to achieve the color showing.  The greeting is die cut using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies, then adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Basic White panel get a sentiment from December Paper Pumpkin and Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set stamped in the same ink combination as the greeting.  A row of the dots are stamped in Calypso Coral ink across the bottom of the panel.  A flower from Stampin’ Up! Detailed Dogwood stamp set is stamped in Crumb Cake ink, then colored using the same colors  as the card front flowers. 

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock embossed using the Exposed Brick 3 D Embossing Folder. The piece is cut 2-1/4″ x 6″ and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
