The card I am sharing today is created using the Perfectly Penciled DSP from the upcoming 2022-2023 catalog, Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Special Moments stamp set.

My challenge today is with the Alphabet Challenge — Their theme for this challenge is B for Blooms.

I am also joining the Creative Creases Challenge since my card is a fun fold.

My card is a faux step card and so easy.  There is no cutting and measuring where to cut where and score to create the steps.  The only scoring is the score for the card fold and then the two scores for the step fold.  You can see how the step is created by the photo.

For the card base start with a panel of Basic White card stock 4-1/4″ x 9″. Score at 1-1/4″, 2-1/2″, and 5-3/4″.  Fold the 1-1/4″ score line as a mountain fold and the 2-1/2″ as a valley fold.  Fold at the 5-3/4″ line and you have your card base.  One of the flowers from the Perfectly Penciled DSP is colored using a Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker, fussy cut and popped on the front panel using Mini Stampin’.   Dimensionals.

The next step is to finish the inside panel so it is easier to create.  The Basic White card stock panel is matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock.  A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Special Moments stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on the panel.  Two flowers, I like to think of them as poppies are fussy cut, one is colored using a Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker.  Both are adhered to the page using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The cuts for the DSP used on the card can be found at the end of this post.  Each piece of the Perfectly Penciled DSP is matted on Basic Black card stock before being adhered to the card base.  The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set.  It is cropped using a die from the All That Dies that goes with the Stampin’ Up! He’s the Man Suite or Bundle from the upcoming 2022-2023 catalog.  Matte Black Dots are popped around the card front.  The DSP is two different patterns of the Perfectly Penciled DSP.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP applied to the envelope flap.  

If you would like to create this card all the products used are in the post instead of at the end of the post as they usually are.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!
