Welcome to Simply Stampin’ Sunday – my post of Clean And Simple projects that can be made in minutes using Stampin’ Up! products.  This week’s project features the Memorable Mosaic Stamp Set and the coordinating Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Mosaic Mood Suite.

I love fussy-cutting and can sit down with a full sheet of Designer Series Paper and cut away until it’s all individual images, which I have done with Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP.  Wondering what makes it Special?  It has shiny accents that makes it look like mosaic tile!  Since I have a collection of pre-cut images, this card went together pretty quickly.

The word “Kindness” is stamped with Soft Suede ink on a panel of Blushing Bride card stock.  After it dries thoroughly, carefully color the letters with the brush tip of a Light Calypso Coral Blends marker.  Use a light touch, it absorbs quickly.

Though it’s hard to capture in pictures, the shiny “tile” accents are really special.

Here are the Simple Steps to make this project:

1. Cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ panel of Soft Suede card stock, score at 5-1/2″ and fold in half for the card base.
2. Cut two 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ panels of Very Vanilla card stock.  One is for the front, and one is for the inside.
3. Stamp the sentiment on the front panel centered side to side and top to bottom using Soft Suede ink.  I used the Stamparatus to do so.
4. Stamp the sentiment on the inside panel in the same manner.
5. Stamp the front sentiment again on a panel of Blushing Bride card stock with Soft Suede ink and set aside to dry thoroughly.
6. Use your paper cutter to cut a couple Mint Macaron patterned tile strips from the strip pattern sheet of DSP.
7. Cut the strips to 3-7/8″ long and adhere to the top and bottom edges of both panels of Very Vanilla card stock from Step 3 and Step 4 with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
8. Adhere each of the Very Vanilla panels to a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Mint Macaron card stock using Liquid Glue.
9. Adhere the layered panels to the card front and card inside using Liquid Glue.
10. Use a Light Calypso Coral Blends marker to color the letters in the word “Kindness” you stamped in Step 5.  Use a light touch, it absorbs quickly.
11. Fussy-cut “Kindness” along the outside edge of the tile border using your Paper Snips.
12. Adhere the fussy-cut word over the stamped word using Liquid Glue.
13. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the fussy-cut hummingbird and fussy-cut rose to the card front.
14. The little fussy-cut bee is adhered with a rolled Mini Glue Dot.
15. The fussy-cut butterflies are adhered inside the card with Liquid Glue.
