Good Thursday morning stampers and non-stampers.  If you aren’t a stamper and happen upon my blog, I hope you enjoy and find the inspiration to create your own card.  Card-making is a calming and inspiring time.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Stamp Set and the Sale-A-Bration Summer Shadow Dies (available August 3). I like the dies so much, hopefully, they will carry over to the next catalog, but probably not.

My design inspiration for today is from the TGIF challenge.  The color scheme is a CASE of Amy Koenders’ card.  You can see her card here.

I started with a Highland Heather card base, adding a panel of Hand Penned DSP over the card base.  Another panel of the DSP is cut in a triangle, a mat of Basic White is adhered to the panel then adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue over the lower portion of the card front.

Using a flower die from the Summer Shadows Dies three flowers are cropped from Highland Heather card stock.  Using the outline die for the flowers crop three of the outlines.  Crop the main part of the leaves from Mint Macaron card stock.  The out portion of the leaves is cropped using So Succulent card stock.  The flowers parts and the leaf parts are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

After the flowers and leaves are adhered together, they are dry fit on the card front to see how to arrange them.  Once that is done,  a picture is taken so I can remember the arrangement.  The leaves are adhered using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue as are two of the flowers.  The flower in the middle is popped up using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Pastel Pearls are popped in the center of each flower. A label is cropped from a scrap of Basic White card stock using an Ornate Frame Dies.  A greeting from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  The label is popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets one of the flower outlines adhered to the corner of the panel.  The panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the same DSP used on the card front applied to the envelope flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.

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!
