Hello and a very blessed Sunday to y’all. Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
Today’s card is really all about the Designer Series Paper. I pulled a few stamp sets in to complete the card.

I used a tent fold Balmy Blue card base and added DSP to the front.

For the focal point, I used a 2-1/4 ” panel of Pretty In Pink and added two 1″ strips of Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper adhered to the front of the panel. I used the 2-3/8″ and 2″ circle punches for the sentiment panel. I stamped the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set sentiment in Balmy Blue Ink. But wait, that’s not what the sentiment looks like, right? Exactly. I covered the “heart” with a piece of a sticky note and tapped the “with a grateful” in Balmy Blue. Remember to remove the sticky note paper now – then stamp on the sentiment panel. Repeat, but this time cover the “With a grateful” portion of the sentiment. Again, remember to remove the sticky note paper or you’ll have quite an inky mess.

I adhered my two circles together with adhesive. I fussy cut a duck and ducklings from the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the sentiment panel. I added the sentiment to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Pretty in Pink panel and adhered it to the card base. I added seven (7) Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dots (due back in stock the week of June 17) to the front panel. I started with two groups of three on the upper left and lower right corners and added a 7th (keeping the rule of odd numbers in mind) on the sentiment itself.

For the inside of the card, I used a 4″ strip of Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the top of the panel. I stamped the Autumn Leaves sentiment to the lower right corner so I had plenty of room to write.

The envelope flap is decorated with more Lily Pond Lane Designer Series paper. I used both the Of Art & Texture Stamp Set and the Love This Moment Stamp Set on the front of the envelope. I stamped off once for the texture stamp and used full strength Balmy Blue Ink for the Smile sentiment.
Thank you!
