Stamp design and color


When done with coloring staple strip, clear piece and completed page together at top. 

I stamped the bottom of the page with a personalized stamp saying: “Created with love by Stefanie Seaver”. I purchased the stamp from www.stampsbyimpression.com. 

Use black sharpie and trace designs on to the clear paper. 


Stamps floral designs on to white paper, color and fussy cut. 

I trimmed the top a little and added washi tape to seal it. 

Flowers and leaves after coloring and fussy cut. Then I clued them to the front of the card. 

Stamps used:

Then I made a small envelope to hold my letter using my Stampin’ Up! Envelope punch board. I love this thing!

I bought the tropical paper from Hobby Lobby. It was 4 for $1.00- great deal. 


Wanted to add an envelope liner to cover up the white part of the paper. 

Used paper from “happy place” scrapbook paper booklet that I have had forever. I liked the pink flowers and thought it would be a good fit. 

For the envelope I used a stamp set by Stampabilities that I found at Hobby Lobby. 

All done. I hope my friend Kyra likes her card.
