Good morning all on this chilly Friday in Georgia!  What are your plans for the weekend?  Fun and relaxation? Reading a good book and enjoying an extra cup of Earl Grey tea–or coffee?  I once was a big coffee drinker–but a health challenge stopped that enjoyment.  Funny I can drink tea but not coffee.  Well, that’s enough on the weather forecast for today and tea or coffee.

The card today features the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Quite a combination, would you not say?

I believe I have two challenges today that I draw inspiration from — The Sisterhood of Crafters — with a theme of  Patterned Paper

And…

Tuesday Morning Sketches with this lovely sketch.

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock base, add a layer of the same embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder.  Add a layer of the Stampin’ Up! Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper with the Pool Party portion cropped using a dies from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Be Mine Dies.

Fussy cut a cluster of blossoms from the Parisian Blossoms DSP and pop on the Pool Party portion of the card front.  Add a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow popped on with a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.  Add three Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Backed Sequins and a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and your card front is finished.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the Whisper White card stock panel.  A cluster of blossoms is adhered at the bottom of the panel.

Give the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap a panel of the Parisian Blossoms DSP and your project is finished.

hank you for stopping by today.  I hope 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.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!
