Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day! Hope all is right and well in your world – and that you’re safe and healthy!
Speaking of COVID-19, do take a minute to check out the Stampin’ Up! Give-Back digital stamp set called Share Sunshine! 100% of the proceeds will go to one of two organizations supporting the fight. Scroll on down for the deets and a link to download the FIFTEEN pages of cool sentiments!!
My card today uses a few retiring goodies that you need to snap up while you still can – starting with the It Starts With Art stamp set, the matching Arts & Crafts Dies and the fun Follow Your Art DSP. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge.
I started with two panels of the Follow Your Art DSP – both cut the same size as the card front (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) – and I adhered one to the front of a Pacific Point card base and the second on the inside, using Liquid Glue.
I used the Ornate Layers Dies to cut a Whisper White panel and then placed it in my Stamparatus. I stamped the sentiment from It Starts With Art in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Then I popped the panel onto a Calypso Coral “mat” with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the three pens/markers in Tuxedo Black on Whisper White and colored them with my Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Combos. Then I cut them with the coordinating die in the Arts & Crafts Die Set.
I popped the die cut pens and markers onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The final piece is a tiny heart trinket from the Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit, adhered in the corner with a Glue Dot. The kit (which is on SALE for just $6.60!) also includes some Linen Thread in Bermuda Bay and Calypso Coral. I took a double length of the Bermuda Bay and tied a bow, then adhered it to the heart trinket with a Glue Dot.
I adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue and that was it for the card front!
On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Retiring Varied Vases stamp set in Tuxedo Black on a Whisper White panel. Across the bottom, I stamped the ink bottles from It Starts With Art in Tuxedo Black and colored them with the Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Combos.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Calypso Coral mat and into the card base and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more ink bottles on the front…
…and a little Follow Your Art DSP on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! Isn’t this just the perfect group of goodies for us as crafters!?? I think It Starts With Art is very aptly named – and it’s so cool that the Arts & Crafts Dies (on sale for $11.60!) help us cut out so many of the images to use, don’t you?! Finally – the Follow Your Art DSP is bright and cheery and fun. And on a really good sale – just $4.60 for the pack!! I hope you like – and will get them soon. Remember, only the stamp set is guaranteed to be around thru the end of the catalog! All the other items are only available while supplies last!

I snapped this picture the other evening of my silly and sweet dog. He crawls under that chair and uses his hand to pull and squiggle himself into JUST the right position.
Guess this is it!
Yeah. Beyond cute! 😉
