Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Spring”. We can interpret this however we want. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Flower Cart Bundle for my card today along with the soon to retire 2022-2024 In-Colors.
I started by stamping the flowerpots, flowers, sign and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Flower Cart Photopolymer Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White. I cut all the images out using the Flower Cart Dies. Using the Flower Cart Dies, I cut the flower cart and canopy from a panel of Basic Black and Basic White.
On a Basic White card front, I stamped the cobblestone image from the Flower Cart stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink randomly multiple times. I adhered the Basic White card front to a Parakeet Party mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White card base using Liquid Glue.
I adhered the flowers to the post using Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I adhered the flower cart together using Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I adhered the images to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Liquid Glue.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Flower Cart stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the cobblestone image from the Flower Cart stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flowerpots from the Flower Cart stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaves and flower images from the Flower Cart stamp set in the pots in Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Inks. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Parakeet Party mat then to a Basic Black mat and finally to the inside of the Basic White card base.
To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope by stamping the images from the Flower Cart stamp set on the envelope front and flap.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: AHZBFDC4
Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives! Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials. Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.
Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards!
Happy Stamping, Karen

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
