I’ve been absent from my blog for a bit, but I am back and have a lot of catching up.  In 4 days 20’s start!  Are you like me and wondering what they will be called this go-round?  Do you think they (whoever they are)  will say here comes a repeat of the “Roarin’ ’20s?”

From the first time I saw this card pack and DSP, I wanted to make a card using the card from the card pack I am creating today. I am using Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack, Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Stamp Set and Lovely Leaves Dies. I thought it was an awesome piece, but just never the right challenge to make the card.   It finally has happened there is a challenge I can use it for.  The challenge I am playing today is Freshly Made Sketches.  It fits this card perfectly.

This is a simply card with just cutting and a little stamping.  The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock.  Next is a background mat from one of the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.  Next comes a panel of Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Grapefruit Grove card stock as is the main focal panel using a card from the  Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack.  I trimmed the focal panel to fit the layout.  The greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set and is stamped on a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Grapefruit Grove card stock using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. Behind the greeting is 2 leaves cropped from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Leaves Dies and Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread.  The Old Olive and Cajun Craze thread are from the Holiday Catalog.

The greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Stamp Set is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Grapefruit Grove ink on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock panel that has been placed at an angle over the Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock panel.  Both are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

In finishing my card project, the flap of a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope was covered using a panel of DSP from the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.

A few flowers were fussy cut from the same panel that covered the envelope flap and adhered to the envelope front.

Thank 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!
