Finally, I stamped Thank You from Short & Sweet stamp set in the upper right. The Ticket Corner Punch was used on each corner. Before I placed the flower, I used a Build A Brad and the center flower from Stitched Exotics in Real Red. I cut each of them out and layered with dimensionals on a Whisper White piece of cardstock, layered on Regal Rose. The large flower I stamped with Regal Rose on Glossy White cardstock and the leaves with Kiwi Kiss. I cut a strip of the Kiwi Kiss print from the same Raspberry Tart DSP and layered it on Real Red…made it POP, didn’t it? I also added a strip of Regal Rose over the Green print and three mini brads as accents. Then I added a piece of Regal Rose Pattern paper from Raspberry Tart Designer Paper in the lower right part of the base. ![]() It starts with a Whisper White base card. Works fine as long as you don’t mind them being shiny! I love this sketch! Mary Brown and I did a fun challenge using it. ![]() I find I get better coverage with solid stamps when I stamped them with Classic Ink on Glossy cardstock. This was one of the sets I received to make the display samples at Leadership a couple years ago! I kind of burned myself out on using it, so I felt it was time to give it a proper send off since it will be retiring. My next card uses Stitched Exotics stamp set. That entire element was popped up with dimensionals and placed above the house! I punched with the 1 1/4 circle, the punched the 1 3/8 circle from Baja Breeze and double punched the Night of Navy Scallop Circle so I’d get a pinking edge to my scallop circle. Finally, I stamped the greeting with Night of Navy Craft ink on Whisper White and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I wrapped some Night of Navy grosgrain ribbon around the entire layers and added a piece of White Taffeta on top of the knot. I used the Ticket Corner Punch on each corner and layered it on Whisper White. Both these pieces were placed on a Baja Breeze layer that I stamped randomly with the snowflake from Holiday Blitz in Baja Breeze ink. Then I cut a square of print pattern from Walk in the Park Designer Paper, and layered it on another Night of Navy cardstock. I layered the Whisper White on Night of Navy. I added some piercing decorations with my Piercing Mat and Tool in each upper corner. I stamped the house with Night of Navy Craft ink on Whisper White and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. My next card uses the same stamp set, To You and Yours and the Mojo Monday #90 sketch! But I used a couple of the other stamps in the set! Again I started with a base card of Night of Navy. The Red, Blue and Silver make it almost a Patriotic looking card, although that wasn’t my intent! Finally, I stamped the snowflake from Holiday Blitz stamp set with White Craft on Night of Navy and embossed with White Embossing Powder, then punched with my 3/4 circle punch and placed above the Dove layer. ![]() Seasons Greetings is from To You and Yours, too, and I stamped it with Night of Navy on Whisper White, then punched with the 1 1/4 circle and layered on a Brushed Silver 1 3/8 circle. I used a piece of Riding Hood Red Patterns Designer Paper as an additional layer before adding the Dove Layer on top. I added about an extra inch in length to that Brushed Silver layer so I could use the Eyelet Border Punch across the bottom, then wrapped the Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon around the entire element. I stamped the dove with White Craft and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder on Night of Navy and layered that on Brushed Silver. I started with a base of Night of Navy and layered Riding Hood Red on top. You won’t see it in the current catalog either…that’s because it has been sitting on the Dormant List. My first card uses the stamp set, To You and Yours, that will be retiring at the end of June. ![]() Click at the bottom of my post to go to the next person, Mary Brown at Stampercampers Blog!
