Happy Sunday everyone! Are you having a nice weekend enjoying the cool fall air?  Our team had a great time on Saturday celebrating World Card Making Day!  Our team leaders did a fantastic job of organizing the event and getting other demonstrators to present.  The entire team did such a fantastic job.  If you joined us, you know what I am talking about.  If you couldn’t make it this year, maybe you can next but I believe the videos are available for a few days so you can watch them.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set, Positive Thoughts Stamp Set, Peaceful Moments Stamp Set and the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock with a mat that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Seabed 3D Embossing Folder.  When you want an embossed panel on the front, it is much easier to emboss a separate panel of card stock or it is for me.  I was always messing up the front of the card when I embossed and Amy Koenders told her Inkin’ Krew this tip and it works wonders.  Mary Deatherage reminded us again about this easy method today during our World Card Making Day event.

Cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whale Of A Time DSP and slice it horizontally at an angle.  This gives you the design for the front of the card and is from the Inspire, Create Challenge. After you adhere the DSP to the embossed panel, mat this panel using Stampin’ Up! Granny Apple Green cardstock. Adhere your ribbon across the two sections of the card front.  Lastly, adhere your focal panel to the Pool Party card base.

My inspiration comes from the Inspire, Create Challenge.

And…

Craftyhazelnut’s Pattern Paper Challenge.  I am using Stampin’ Up! Whale Of A Time Designer Series Paper (DSP)

The sentiment from the following Stampin’ Up! Stamp Sets Life Is Beautiful, Sending Sunshine, and Peaceful Moment is stamped in Night of Navy ink on a panel of Pool Party card stock. Several of the turtles have been fussy cut and adhered to the panel.  The panel  is then matted on a panel of Granny Apple Green card stock and adhered to the card base.

As soon as envelopes from Stampin’ Up! arrive an envelope flap will have a panel of the Whale Of A Time DSP adhered so my card can be on its way to the person intended.

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!
