Stampin’ Up! A Good Man
Thank you to all the people who follow my blog. I truly appreciate you!
My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Waterfront stamp set. Waterfront is a stamp set I have had for a long, long time, but today is the first use. I have others that hopefully, I will get to before they retire in June 2020.
I am playing along at these challenges today. My first list is Hand Stamped Sentiments #316 My card is a bit different than all the flowers and I sure hope I was not supposed to include them. I did do all the colors that’s where the inspiration for the sky, moon, palm tree that is small I know, and the ocean. If I am disqualified then I will just play again another day.
And… Always Fun Challenges…
And… the Crafty Catz Challenge 
The card base is Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel card stock. The card base is embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Seaside TIEF, which I must have overlooked as retired when I pulled retired products. Did not realize it until I started writing this. My card is a sweet little card with a dad and his little girl looking out at the ocean one last time for the day. She has her sleepy head on his shoulder as dad looks at palm trees in the distance. Doesn’t it make you yearn for the beach?
The art piece is Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Paper. I have used Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue, Seaside Spray, Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow inks to create the sky and the ocean. Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink was used for the sand. The distant palm tree is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake inks. The moon was stamped in Stampin’ Up! So Saffron ink using the moon from the Stampin’ Up! Waterfront stamp set. The art piece has a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock mat.
The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set and the Well Said stamp set
In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the ocean theme of the card. I gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away DSP.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.

You will find the full line-up below to help you hop along from Krew member to Krew member. On we go…
My card is created from the Let it Ride stamp set. I am so happy this stamp set is carrying over. 
The card base is Cajun Craze card stock with a mat from the Wood Texture 6″ x 6″ DSP (retiring June 3) here’s hoping that it will return in a later catalog because of so many people like using it. A panel of Crumb Cake is embossed using the Pinewood Plank Embossing. Folder and I am so happy it will be returning in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. It is adhered using Liquid Glue. 
A 1-1/2″ strip from the Wood Texture DSP is cut and the art image is stamped on it. The image is from the Let It Ride stamp set. The horses are stamped in Early Espresso ink and the trees in Mossy Meadow ink. This strip is then matted on a dark panel from the Wood Texture DSP and Old Olive Linen Thread is wrapped around the panel. This is popped onto the Pinewood Plank panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting from Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a Very Vanilla circle that has been cut using the Layering Stitched Circle Dies. The Very Vanilla Circle has been matted on a small scrap of Wood Texture DSP that the larger circle is cut. 
The inside sentiment from the Humming Along stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a Very Vanilla panel of card stock. The trees in the corner are from the Let It Ride stamp set and are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink that has been stamped off once. The panel is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.
Last weekend April 26-28 my brother-in-law and sister-in-law took us on a little trip just so we could get away. We stayed at this great hotel that you could stand on your balcony and see the river below. If you fell off your balcony into the river you would go. When we first arrived, I was trying to get Wi-Fi connected so I could post my card but continued to have problems. I kept calling the front desk for help, about the third time I called a lady answered and she said, ‘ Just hold on sweetie, I will come and help you.” She was so nice, once she got to our room it was like we had been old friends forever, too bad she lives there and I am here, I am sure we could become friends forever. I just want to thank her for all her helpfulness and being so kind and friendly. I know I am a bit late with this thank you, but graduations are all that I have had on the brain and will continue through the month of May.
I cut a panel of Soft Suede and adhered two different panels of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Come Sail Away DSP that will be available June 4 when the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog is released to customers. 
This stamp suite comes with a Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack. This card pack has several sheets of stickers, one of the sticker is a rope, I used it to make the division between the two Designer Series Paper panels.
You will want to order this card pack when you are able to place your order. It can be used for creating so many cards and adding to a card you have already stamped. One of the Come Sail Away Trinkets is used and is adhered against the lighthouse using Glue Dots. 
The two focal panels of DSP are adhered to the Soft Suede mat which is then popped onto the Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The lighthouse panel stamped with the Happy Birthday greeting is from the soon retiring Vertical Greeting stamp set and is also popped on using Stamping Dimensionals. As I wanted Happy on one side of the card and Birthday on the other, I only stamped the portion that I was wanting to stamp at the time. That finishes the card front.
The inside sentiment stamped in Night of Navy ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock is from the Postcard Pals stamp set and it also will soon be retiring. I have used the sentiments in this stamp set a lot the past year so I will miss this little stamp set. The panel is adhered to a Soft Suede mat and then adhered to the Night of Navy card base. Stickers from the Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack are adhered to the sentiment panel.
