Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Frames

Posted on October 6, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday! It’s going to be another gorgeous day here on the East coast – sunny & 71! I have two cards to share with you today, both with the same layout, just different colors. I used the stunning rose image in the Gallery Blooms bundle, the coordinating Damask Designs embossing folder and for sentiments, the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (part of a bundle). Both use Subtles 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink and Gray Granite card stock. Let’s look…

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Petal Pink card front

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Gray Granite card front

I stamped the roses in Memento black ink and colored each with Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist for the card on left and Gray Granite, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist for the card on right. I’m just curious, do you have a preference? I used the framing dies in the Gallery Blooms dies to die cut from Gray Granite, Subtles 6×6 DSP & Basic White the two portions of the framing: the center portion and the ‘frame’ of that. I pieced these together as you see and attached to a slightly larger panel – Petal Pink and Gray Granite. These were attached to the card base. Oh… and the card with the pink roses – I embossed a separate piece of Basic White and attached it to the card front before adhering the rest. The roses are added with dimensionals. On each is a bow – Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack in gray and Scalloped Ribbon in Petal Pink. I tied each around the stem holding them in polace with either liquid glue or a glue dot. The embellishments are Low Profile Dots in pink and Neutral Matte Dots in black. The sentiments are both from Beautiful Motifs stamp set, stamped on scraps of Basic White with Memento ink. Each was attached with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms inside in pink

I stamped the small rose bouquet from Gallery Blooms in Memento ink on a Basic White panel & colored in Stampin’ Blends as before: Petal Pink or Gray Granite for the roses, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist on the leaves. Each was adhered to the appropriate card.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Petal Pink w/ envelope

This envelope has an added strip of Subtles 6×6 DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. I used a one of the Basic Borders Dies to create to delicate stitching at the edge of the DSP & on the envelope. I stamped the front in Petal Pink using a stamp from Gallery Blooms stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Gray Granite w/ envelope

On this envelope, a strip of the Subtles 6×6 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. A different image from Gallery Blooms stamp set was stamped in Petal Pink on the envelope front.

I am curious if you have a preference in the cards – Petal Pink or Gray Granite. Not certain for me…

Stampin’ Up! Sunflower 3D and Woven Textures DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on July 17, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our Blog Hop! I want to give a shout out to a new person in our Thursday lineup for the blog hop – Nicole Bloxom. Can’t wait to see what she has created for today’s sketch challenge. Welcome Nicole!

So… this has been a stressful week – I learned I must have a heart catheterization tomorrow (7/18) with the possibility of a stent. I’m not used to this – having a cardiologist & all that, testing & so forth. It took my mojo & I’m having a bit of trouble creating… so bear with me. You may remember, I had a knee replacement back in early May – that has meant PT 3 x/ week since then. Today’s card is for my Physical Therapist as today is my last day for PT. WOOHOO!!! And just so you know, I can bend my knee on my own to 120 degrees and walk without a limp – no one would ever know I had a knee replacement. 😀

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D & Woven Textures card front

I used a new embossing folder from the July ONLINE EXCLUSIVES called Sunflower 3D embossing folder. It’s a stand alone item, which is unusual. I embossed the sunflower then colored it with Stampin’ Blends Darling duckling, Pecan Pie & Garden Green then fussy cut this single flower with my paper snips. I put dimensionals on the back and attached it to a Basic White panel 3 1/2″ square then to Pecan Pie card stock 1/8″ larger. I took Woven Textures DSP & cut it 3 1/2″ square and added that to Pecan Pie cardstock 1/8″ larger, then adhered these squares together as shown. For the background I ran a 4 x 5 14 panel of Basic White through the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder then to another of the same design Woven Textures DSP 1/8″ larger – and attached to the Pecan Pie A2 card base. I used my Early Espresso Marker to ‘flip’ some splatters to the upper portion.The sentiment is from Sunshine Vibes stamp set stamped in Pecan Pie ink on a 1/2″ strip of Basic White adhered to Darling Duckling just 1/8″ wider. This was added to the flower with liquid glue then I added a single mini dimensional under the ‘s’. Myn final touch was three Neutral Matte Dots in Pecan Pie.

For the inside… I wanted something light & positive. Pulling out that same Sending Sunshine stamp set, I stamped the half sun in Darling duckling then the rays (stamped twice) in Crushed Curry, then the sentiment in Pecan Pie – all on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4. I added this to the same pattern of Woven Textures DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, added them both to the inside of the card – and done! As I mentioned, this card is to my Physical Therapist, but there are two therapists in this office. We joke with one another, share stories, kid around and WORK OUR ROUTINE to get where we need to be. It has been a good experience and I will miss these folks.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D & Woven textures card & envelope

The envelope – keeping it simple, a piece of the same pattern of Woven Textures DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. That’s it. Want to purchase the products to make this card?

Stampin’ Up! Woven Textures + Textured Notes for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 22, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again to this weekly Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog hop! We have a sketch challenge today that is quick & easy and can be used for any sentiment or card needed – depending on the DSP (Designer Series Paper) used & the stamp set. I’ve used the Woven Textures 12×12 DSP and the Textured Notes Bundle for the sentiments & die cutting.

I hope you like the updates made to my blog – still a work in progress. Thanks to a special teammate for their help and my daughter Wendy as well. I have more work to do on it, but I’m liking what’s happening :O) I’m still recovering from a knee replacement on 5/5, so limited in what I can really do yet.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Woven Textures & Textured Notes card front

I began with an Early Espresso card base 84 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2. I added this gorgeous pattern directly to the card base, from the Woven Textures 12×12 DSP cut at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Use the adhesive of choice, but I tend to use liquid glue. I then cut a piece of Early Espresso 3 1/8 x 4 1/8 and added a different pattern from the Woven Textures DSP cut 3 x 4 to it – again with liquid glue. These were attached to the card front with dimensionals. I then stamped the sentiment from the Textured Notes Bundle on a scrap of Basic White using Early Espresso ink – then die cut it with the Textured Notes Dies. I added this to the card front with liquid glue. And while you cannot see them, I also added Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Woven Textures + Textured Notes card inside

For the inside.. I cut a Crumb Cake piece 4 x 5 1/4 and added it to the inside of the card, trimmed a Basic White panel to 3 7/7 x 5 1/8, stamped it with the fun basket weave image from textured Notes stamp set with Crumb Cake ink. This was added to the Crumb Cake piece already attached to the inside of the card – and bingo – card is ready.

Stampin' Up! Woven Textures + Textured Notes card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Woven Textures 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. I again used the same basket weave stamp from the Textured Notes stamp set and Crumb Cake ink to stamp the front of the envelope. Yay! Such a nice masculine card – and can be a thank you, or thinking of you – again, versatility.

Below is information on how to purchase products from me, but please don’t forget to make your way around those participating in today’s hop. Click on the ‘next’ button to take you to Amy or click on a name to take you to another person’s blog.

This issue was resolved on May 12. However, back-in-stock emails that should have sent during the impacted timeframe will not send for the items listed above. All messages moving forward should function properly. Just remember to ask for that option to be notified when placing the order if it comes up not currently available.

OK – info on ordering from me…. first of all – no more HOST CODE is needed – YAY! Instead for every order of $20 + Stampin’ Up! has it’s own rewards.

Stampin’ Up! Wildly Flowering Suite for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 22, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Thursday and time for a fabulous hop from. the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Group! We have a color challenge today and I need thank you cards for some special folks. I created two for this color challenge using the Wildly Flowering Suite of products.

Stampin' Up! Wildly Flowering Suite. card front

This is the 1st card, using several of the fabulous dies in the Wildflower Designs Dies, the dashing Designs 3D embossing Folder and the stunning Wildly Flowering DSP. Oh, and let’s not forget the embellishments: the Adhesive-Backed Adhesive Dots. Here’s what I did… Crumb Cake card base with a layer of Early Espresso on the front, then a layer of the Wildly Flowering DSP that I embossed with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder – adhered to the Early Espresso. Next some die cutting: Basic White for the scalloped outline, Misty Moonlight and finally the DSP for the center. I had the Basic White piece already die cut and saved, but did die cut the Misty Moonlight – this scallop die cuts the scallop piece and from it the center – the Misty Moonlight panel you see in the photo. I used Tear n’ Tape to adhere the blue to the Basic White on the back side and added dimensionals in strategic places to adhere to the card front, centering it- see photo. I then adhered the DSP panel in place & wow, it looks great!

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Design Dies adhering together pieces

I took another piece of Misty Moonlight, rubbed it with my embossing buddy from the Embossing Additions kit (item 159971), stamped the sentiment from Wildflower Designs stamp set in VersaMark ink, sprinkled with with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the heat tool. I adhered this in place with liquid glue on the left side and mini dimensionals on the two right corners.I added five of the Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Wildflowers Designs card inside

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card & envelope

I used the same floral stamp to and Early Espresso ink to decorate the Basic White panel for inside the card and the envelope. More of the same Wildly Flowering DSP covers the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card front.card 2

This was fun – I die cut several hexagon shapes from the Wildly Flowering DSP, laying them in a row so as to have them ‘match’ as you look at the card. The matching is from left to right, not top to bottom. Here’s a photo of how I die cut these.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Dies from DSP strip

I should have taken a photo as I put the die cuts together on this card front, but didn’t 😦 Oh well. Adhere the DSP panels across the bottom, then add additional die cuts to fill in; trimming down and filling in the entire front. I stamped the flower in Memento ink and the sentiment in Moody Mauve ink – both stamps are from the Wildflower Designs stamp set. I used the Light Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blend to color the flower tips. I wrapped this gorgeous Natural Tones Linen Thread (in Garden Green) around the card front twice and tied a bow. I added the flower with mini dimensionals. The sentiment panel I punched with the Labeled with Love Punch and adhered it over the thread with dimensionals. Three Adhesive-Back Textured Dots were added near the sentiment panel.

Stampin' Up! card 2 of Wildly Flowering Suite Collection

On the inside of the card and the envelope, I stamped a different flower from Wildflower Designs stamp set in Memento ink and colored each with Stampin’ Blends Light Misty Moonlight and Light Old Olive.

These two card were a total CASE of cards shown in the Annual catalog page 40 – I just changed colors of thread, inks and DSP. I love these two cards and am excited to have them ready for those special notes I need to write. Handmade cards are simply the best! They share a bit of myself with each one made.

Time to visit the others on this hop. Click the next button or click a name, just make sure to make the rounds. Happy Hopping!

Want to purchase any or all of the products to make these cards? Shop with me here and get benefits from me: for a $50 order a SU product valued up to $10 PLUS the current months tutorial. :O) Join my team and be able to participate in valuable meetings, conventions and have a super support team.

Stampin’ Up! Full of Life 6×6 DSP + Paper Pumpkin Thanks & Beyond Dies

Posted on May 26, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning! It’s Memorial Day weekend here at the Jersey Shore and traffic is heavy. You know, everyone wants to go to the beach, etc., etc. We heard lots of fireworks last night! In memory of those who served our country by the giving of their life – thank you, we honor you and are so grateful for your dedication. We kneel in humble gratitude.

My card today is one of thanks, made with the Full of Life 6×6 DSP as the background and dies that coordinated with Paper Pumpkin kits these past couple of months – Thanks & Beyond Dies. They are available to those with active Paper Pumpkin subscriptions. If you are not a subscriber, a different kit arrives each month to make cards or to be creative and make something else from the kit. See below for more information in how to subscribe with me.

Stampin' Up! Full of Life DSP 6x6 + bPP Thanks & Beyond Dies, card front

I cut down a 6×6 sheet of the Full of Life DSP to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and stamped it with the Painted Lavender stamp set – leaf. I used Garden Green ink and added a bit of Shaded Spruce with a sponge dauber – stamped once, then twice and a third time without re-inking. I like the depth it creates when doing this. It looks like a field of leaves. I used another piece of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP to die cut the butterfly. This is created with two dies, one with the detail and another for the outline. It remains connected in the ‘body’ of the butterfly. I adhered this die cut with dabs of liquid glue then added the two Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems. I die cut the thanks from another portion of Full of Life 6×6 DSP and then a Basic White scrap and adhered the two together, creating a bit of shadow. I attached this with mini dimensionals cut in half. This panel was attached to a Basic White piece cut 4 x 5 1/4 then to a Balmy Blue card stock 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.

For the inside, I stamped the flowers in Melon Mambo ink using the Painted Lavender stamp set. This carries the color from the card front to the inside. The butterflies are stamped in Balmy Blue ink and are also from the Painted Lavender stamp set.

The envelope flap is covered with more of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP and stamped with the same butterfly stamp from Panted Lavender stamp set in Balmy Blue ink. Notice there are five butterflies – this is a two butterfly stamp, so I covered one of the butterflies before re-inking, removed the tape and stamped. Make sense?

I just received the new Sketched Butterflies Bundle yesterday and it’s FULL of butterflies :O). :O). :O) Can’t wait to P-L-A-Y!

Stampin’ Up! Retiring DSP Thank You Cards

Posted on April 30, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

HelIo again – it is April 30 – the final day of two catalogs: the Jan-Apr 2024 catalog and the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. decided to share one more card – or 3 – of the same layout, but in retiring papers… These cards use Forever Love 12×12 SDSP and Poetic Expressions DSP. + the Color & Contour bundle. Here they are…

Stampin' Up! Forever Love SDSP Thank you card front — Card 1 w/ Forever Love SDSP

Stampin' Up! Poetic Expressions DSP Thank You card front — Cards 3 & 2 w/ Poetic Expressions DSP

Card 1 uses Pretty Peacock card base and is layered with Forever Love SDSP and Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper, Pretty Peacock Foil Gems and Gold ribbon. I used Stitched Shapes Dies to create the sentiment .

Card 2 uses Thick Basic White for the card base, a layer of Wild Wheat embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder, then the layers of Poetic Expressions DSP. This card uses the Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat, the Color & Contour stamp set for the sentiment, die cut with the same Stitched Shapes Dies circle. This was embellished with the 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems in pink.

Card 3 is so similar… the difference is Wild Wheat card base and embellishments of 23-25 In Color Dots in Wild Wheat. Everything else is the same as card 2.

Stampin' Up! Forever Love & Pretty Peacock thank you card, inside — Card 1, inside

Stampin' Up! Poetic Expressions Thank You Card, inside — Cards 2 & 3 same inside

The inside of the cards are similar as well… a flower stamped then stamped again with a filler stamp w/ second generation ink. On the Pretty Peacock card, I added a layer of the Forever Love SDSP before adhering the inner panel – and of course the flower is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. The other two cards have no DSP layer for the inside, just the stamped panel in Wild Wheat and second generation ink for the flower ‘filler’.

Poetic Expressions DSP Thank You Card — Cards 3 & 2 w/ Poetic Expressions DSP

The envelopes… Pretty Peacock ink was used to stamp the flower on both the envelope flap and the envelope front. On the other two cards I adhered Poetic Expressions DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit and stampoed the flower image in Wild Wheat ink. Finis.

Stampin’ Up! Sneakie Peek of Loveliest Trees Thank You Card

Posted on April 7, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning. It’s SUNNY here this morning – after days of rain AND a 4.8 earthquake – we live in central, east coast New Jersey and earthquakes are not common here, so it was strange to have the whole house shaking! No damage and everyone is ok…

My card today uses a new bundle – Loveliest Trees and it is… well, lovely.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Thank You card front

The card base is Thick Basic White. The colored card stock layers are Early Espresso (3 3/4 x 4 7/8) and Garden Green (3 5/8 x 4 3/4). The Basic White top panel was embossed after stamping & die cutting the tree image – with what else – Timber 3D Embossing Folder. The grain is going up & down – as a tree grows :O) Unfortunately it doesn’t show well in the photo.

I inked the tree from Loveliest Trees stamp set with Granny Apple Green ink, then with a sponge dauber tapped in Pecan Pie ink on the trunk and a bit of the branches, then stamped it on the Basic White panel and die cut it with the Loveliest Trees die. That’s when I ran the panel through the Timber 3D EF – after adhering the layers together, I attached the tree in the open die on dimensionals. Then all the layers were added to the Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Loveliest Trees stamp set in Garden Green ink, trimmed the Basic White strip down to 3/8″ x about 2 7/8″, added it to a slightly larger Garden Green strip & attached it as shown with dimensionals near the ends of the strips. With all in place I added three brass birds from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds that retire the end of April.

For the inside, I stamped this sweet leaf from Loveliest Trees stamp set in Garden Green ink, and stamped it twice more without re-inking. Love how it gives shades of the same color! I adhered this to a Garden Green slightly larger panel then to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Trees Thank You card & envelope

For the envelope, I used the same process as the inside of the card – inked the stamp with Garden Green ink, stamped it once then twice more without re-inking. I did the same on the envelope flap – and it’s ready to send!

Just to share, here are two more sample of the stamped image… Granny Apple Green ink for the entire image and Granny Apple Green (stamped off once) with Pecan Pie added by sponge dauber. I rfeally like this second image a lot.

And here’s the stamp & die bundle.

Keep in mind… this stamp & die bundle is not available until May 1 – but to demonstrators :O) it is possible to purchase this bundle NOW. And how do you do that – join my team here of course. With 20% off every order, what’s to lose? There’s more benefits than that of course, that’s just the surface deal. Connect with me for more info :O)

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 22, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Thursday… and the theme challenge for today’s hop is “Thank you” I’m using the soon to be released Flowering Zinnia 12×12 DSP. The coordinating stamp set & dies is called the Simply Zinnia Bundle – and they are wonderful. The embellishments that are part of the suite are the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. But what really pops on this card is the DSP.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Theme Challenge

Stampin' Up! Flowering Zinnias 12x12 Thank you Card front

Do you see – the DSP is the focus of this card and it’s so bright & cheery! The lovely sweet zinnia is created by using the Simply Zinnia Dies: Melon Mambo card stock for the zinnia and Mossy Meadow card stock for the stem/ leaf die. The ribbon is from the Ribbon Duo Pack. The sentiment banner is die cut with the Scalloped Contour Dies using Basic White card stock. Of course, the sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink to pull it all together – and the final touch is the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in Lemon Lime Twist. I used a single Lemon Lolly sequin from the same pack for the flower center. And that’s it! Fun, quick, easy, bright & cheerful too.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnias thank you card, inside

For the inside… I stamped the zinnia in Melon Mambo ink then used my Blender pen to move the ink around a bit. I added Lemon Lolly ink to the center of the zinnia. The leaf image is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist ink. I added a bit of Wink of Stella both to the flower and the leaf image.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Zinnias thank you card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the same Flowering Zinnias 12×12 DSP for the flap & trimmed to fit. On the env elope front, the same zinnia stamped from Simply Zinnias stamp set with Melon Mambo ink and highlighted with Lemon Lolly Blends for the center.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Thank You Card

Posted on January 16, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Snow is covering everything and it’s a beautiful sight. I’m glad I don’t HAVE to go anywhere though :O) My card today is a Thank You for a special friend who recently gave me a gift.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Thank You Card

The card base is Gorgeous Grape with an added layer of Basic White run through the Softly Sophisticated 3D embossing folder. This is a FREE ITEM in the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration Catalog with a qualifying order. It comes with a stamp set called Softly Sophisticated. Back to the card… I pulled out my Scallop Contour Dies and die cut a piece of Highland Heather, then with my paper trimmer cut a Basic White piece to fit inside and a panel of Perennial Lavender DSP. I layered these together with liquid glue, then used my Wink of Stella to add some sparkle to the butterflies. Before attaching it to the card front, I added a narrow strip of Gorgeous Grape across the center, then attached the panels with dimensionals. The Perennial Postage stamp set has a wonderful sentiment – Thank You for Your Friendship – I taped off the latter part and stamped the Thank You with Gorgeous Grape ink on a scrap of Basic White, trimmed the ends and added it with dimensionals. I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems around the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Thank You Card, inside

For the inside I stamped the remainder of the sentiment on a scrap of Basic White in Gorgeous Grape ink, trimmed the ends and adhered the sentiment to a larger scrap of Perennial Lavender DSP, then to a Basic White insert. I stamped the butterflies from Perennial Postage stamp set in Highland Heather ink.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Thank You Card & Envelope

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on September 28, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! We have a sketch challenge for today’s hop and it was extra fun.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures for the Hop 9/28

You can see I did not deviate from the sketch at all… and that’s unusual for me. I usually do something different. This is a great masculine card – and I have trouble making those. But this DSP: Earthen Elegance DSP is perfect for a ‘man card.’ I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the various patterns from the Earthen Elegance DSP. The card base is Copper Clay card stock (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2) which coordinates with this designer series paper. I cut another piece of the Copper Clay just slightly smaller than the card front and ran it through a Basic 3D Embossing Folder (flower) from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. There are three embossing folders in this set. I wrapped a Copper Ribbon around it after embossing and secured it in back with Stampin’ Seal. The ribbon comes from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack found in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. (You will find links both to the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and to the mini catalog below.) I then attached the die cut circles: the largest with liquid glue, the next size with dimensionals and the smallest with dimensionals and liquid glue where it overlaps. I added three Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots in Copper for a bit of glam. I also tied a knot with more of the Copper Ribbon and secured it in place with a glue dot. And the front was complete!

I stamped the sentiment using Early Espresso ink with the Earthen Textures stamp set on a Basic White panel. I appreciate how clean the words are! I then ran a die through on this same panel from Earthen Textures Dies that does not cut, but leaves an impression instead. The second photo above shows that better.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Elegance card & envelope

For the envelope I used more of the Earthen Elegance DSP for the flap and trimmed it to fit. For the front, I stamped another sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Early Espresso ink – and one & done! I really like how this card turned out and alrecy know to whom it will be given :O)
