Today is the kickoff day for Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Extravaganza so I decided to create a card using one of the stamp sets that’s 20% off today only!

Using Remarkable You, I made a super-quick card with just 3 layers and a couple of embellishments! Since I’m working overnight again tonight and don’t usually create in the middle of a nursing stretch, I’m really excited about how easy the card was, but still looks quite beautiful!  I used the new Stampin’ Blends to color the image after stamping it in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Shimmer White cardstock.  An embellishment that I have hardly used at all are the gorgeous Glitter Enamel Dots!  Have you used them?  Is there an embellishment that maybe you have ignored or “hoarded” because it’s too beautiful?!  I challenge you to create a card this week using one of those embellishments.  Then … send that card to somebody special!  You’ll make their day!

Card Details (Supply List Below):

  • Pool Party c/s, 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Basic Black c/s, 3 15/16″ x 5 3/16″
  • Shimmer White c/s, 3 3/4″ x 5″
Stamp the Calla Lily image from Remarkable You in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Stamp the “You Are Remarkable” sentiment in bottom right corner in same ink.  Color in the lilies using your choice of Stampin’ Blends markers:  I used the light Daffodil Delight marker for the majority of the flowers, but then used both the light and dark Calypso Coral blends to color the lines/outlines.  The stem is a blend of the Old Olive light and dark Stampin’ Blends.  Then, just choose a couple of the gorgeous enamel dots to add dimension to your card and you’re done!  Now, my challenge to you is to send that card to someone special today!!
