Good morning good morning and welcome to the brink of the weekend! Do you have some fun plans? We’re going to do a little tidying this weekend – Wayne doesn’t know it yet and it’s likely to be traumatic (Goodwill is involved and that just hurts him to his core). So…think good thoughts for him making it thru a little…purging! 😉
I’ve got a cool little card for you today – I’d call it clean-and-simple! Since we didn’t get a chance to make it together yesterday, I took a minute (literally!) to put together a short little video on how to make it – the link will be at the end!
I used the Brightest Beauty stamp set to create a very summer-y card (as opposed to the more Fall-like card I made with it before – you can see THAT one right here!). And I pulled out the amazing Fabulous Frames die set (an a la carte set from the Annual Catalog), too. Take a look-see:
Right? Clean and crisp and summer-y!
The color palette has a lot to do with that – and it’s from The Paper Players color challenge this week!
I started by adhering a piece of Tahitian Tide paper from the 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP to the front of my Tahitian Tide card base using Liquid Glue.
I placed a piece of Basic White cardstock in the Stamparatus and used it to stamp the two-step image from Brightest Beauty. First I stamped the berries/flowers in Tahitian Tide. Then I used the second plate to add the leaves and stems in Parakeet Party.
Note: if you have any issues with “bubbly” images when you stamp – know that that is a “thing” with some stamps and some of our colors (it’s a chemical make-up thing, I think). If you see it – ink your pad and then use a Sponge Dauber (with the same color ink on it) to tap-tap-tap all over the stamp before you stamp your cardstock. That ought to fix it for you! 🙂
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the front of the card base.
I cut the largest frame from the Fabulous Frames dies in Basic White and then used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it over the art panel.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the Brightest Beauty sentiment in Tahitian Tide ink and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes label die.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals – and a little Liquid Glue – I adhered it to the card front.
I added a couple of 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots to the sentiment label.
I wanted to keep it clean-and-simple ALL THE WAY but…I just HAD to add some Brushed Brass Butterflies.
And that was it for the card front. I mean – it’s PRETTY clean-and-simple…right?!? 😉
On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Brightest Beauty in Tahitian Tide on a Basic White panel. Over the top, I stamped the texture image from the set in stamped-off-once Parakeet Party. Then I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly! 😉
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Basic White mat and then into the Tahitian Tide card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the texture image from Brightest Beauty in full-strength Parakeet Party on the front…
…and more of the Tahitian Tide 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I do LOVE this Brightest Beauty stamp set – even without using the bundled Golden Beauty dies!! It’s so pretty and – as you can see – pretty stinkin’ versatile! Don’t forget the a la carte dies – like the Stylish Shapes and Fabulous Frames sets – in the Annual Catalog – they’re real “workhorses” for your crafting projects!
I hope you like! And – here’s the link to the short video I put together so you can see how to make it yourself!

Finn Fan Fix
Finn has been right all this time.
Figments ARE real!! 😳😳😳
AND – they ARE invisible to all but canines!
We got proof the other day.
Figment-prints.
What we’re not TOO sure of is…are these the prints of ONE quad-pedal figment? Or….TWO bi-pedal figments? Does anyone even KNOW if figments have two legs or four?
GASP – what if they only have ONE leg and this is an entire frappe of figments!? I Googled it – that’s what a group of figments is called. A frappe.
It’s still a mystery wrapped in a conundrum….only dogs know for sure – and Finn ain’t talkin’! Pretty sure it’s in the dog-code.
But – he IS vindicated!!

Love the color combo and frame highlighting the beautiful stamp set. This stamp wasn’t in my list but now it is!
Thank you, Michelle – I think you’ll really like it! 🙂
I don’t know about Finn but my Frappe is real, I get mine from Starbucks!!!
I had to look this up Mary!! Who knew there were so much information on the word figments.
You made my day. 😂😂😂
Right?!? They run amongst us!! 😂😂😂 Thanks, Johanna! 🙂
Such a pretty card! Love the colors and the framing is perfect. Good luck with the purge today, for every one thing that he puts in the box…stuff in 2 more just like it. 😉 Glad that Finn was proven right…a dog just knows these things! 🙂
They do -and humans can be shockingly dense, can’t we!? Yes. I’m going to do the best I can in the purge. Thanks! 🙂
Mary, you have quite an imagination. Thanks for the laughs.
Your card is beautiful. I think I need to get those dies.
I think you do, Gerri – you’ll love them! Thank you so much! 🙂
Very pretty. Crisp, clean and summery. Those figments can really get us down. Glad you have proof to vindicate Finn! 😉
Yes – it’s hard when no one will believe you! 😉 Thanks so much, Julie! 🙂
Wow, this is so pretty! I was hoping to see this stamp in action somewhere, and it’s beautiful done in summery colors as well as fall ones! The frame die is cool too….I will have to check them out a little more! Thanks so much for playing with my colors this week!
Thanks, LeAnne – I do really like the Brightest Beauty stamp set – and the bundled Dies, too! 🙂
Mary, this is really lovely! Love the frames and the little touch of butterflies! Great job with the color challenge! Thanks for playing at The Paper Players this week!
Thanks much, Jennie – appreciate you stopping by!! 🙂
Better figment-feet in any number or configuration than a slithery track…😲
LOL – true! 🙂
