MikeMikeMikeMikeMIKE!! Guess what day it is!?! It’s….HAWWWMP DAY!
And – I am VERY excited – because one week from today, I’ll be picking Amy up at the airport and then…we’ll leave for BackStage the next day! It’s gonna be awesome! Can you say….ROAD TRIP!!? 😎😎😎🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙
My card today is a quick and easy one – no – REALLY. Actually quick and actually easy. It features the host-exclusive Begin with a Dream stamp set, some Perfectly Penciled DSP and the cool Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder. Take a look-see:
I love this black-and-white color palette with the big, bold pop of Polished Pink. It’s a direct result of the prompt from this week’s Paper Players challenge!
And I also played along with the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. I went down the diagonal left-to-right (Heart – Patterned Paper – Embossing).
I started by adhering a piece of Perfectly Penciled DSP to the front of a Basic Black card base using Liquid Glue.
I ran a smaller piece of Polished Pink cardstock thru the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine inside the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder.
Using a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, I “painted” all of the raised embossed design on the panel just to add a little shimmer and shine. I used Liquid Glue to adhere it to a Basic White mat and then to the front of the card base at a jaunty angle.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the Begin with a Dream sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Then I stamped the heart image over the top in Polished Pink ink.
I used the next-to-largest Stylish Shapes circle die to cut out the sentiment and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a few Polished Pink 2022-2024 In Color Opal Rounds to the sentiment and the card front was done.
Yep. Not even a bow or nuthin’! 😳😳😳
On the inside, I stamped the globe image from Begin with a Dream in stamped-off-once Polished Pink in the middle of a Basic White panel. Over top, I stamped a second sentiment from the set in Tuxedo Black. Then I added another of the Polished Pink 2022-2024 In Color Opal Rounds.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Polished Pink mat and into the Basic Black card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Begin with a Dream heart in Polished Pink on the front…
…and more Perfectly Penciled DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! You didn’t even believe me when I said quick & easy, did you!? Fooled ya! I like the stylized heart and the nice sentiments in the Begin with a Dream set – perfect for telling someone you appreciate all they do, yes? And the Perfectly Penciled DSP – well. It’s really stunning and is a perfect foil for the Twigs & Sprigs embossed Polished Pink panel, don’t you think!?
I hope you like!
