Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkin Cling Stamp Set along with the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Regals DSP to an Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the trio pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, towards the top of the panel. I stamped the 2 leafy images from the Pretty Pumpkin stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkin stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a strip of Pumpkin Pie cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I tied a multiloop bow using Linen Thread and tied it off with a piece of Gold Simply Elegant Trim. I adhered the bow using a Glue Dot. I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkin stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel/ I stamped the 2 leafy images from the Pretty Pumpkin stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink towards the bottom of the panel leaving enough room to adhered a strip of Regals DSP. I colored the leafy images in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin trio image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored it in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Regals DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Updates To The Online Store For Sale-a-bration!

To enhance the shopping experience, Stampin’ Up! is making improvements to the online store—specifically the process of selecting Sale-A-Bration items while shopping.  During the August to September Sale-a-bration event, the earned Sale-A-Bration items will be selected during the checkout process.

Here are some visuals that will walk you through the new checkout process:

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.17.40-am.png

Add your items to the shopping basket and add your host code just like you normally do.  Beginning on August 3, once your order reaches $50, you will see a note at the top of the shopping basket page about redeeming your Sale-a-bration items at checkout.  Once all of the items have been added to your order, click pink the “checkout” button on the right side of the screen.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.19.15-am.png

The next page will show you how many Sale-a-bration items you’ve earned and if you’ve earned the free host exclusive stamp set, that will be shown on this page too.  To start redeeming your free items, click the “+” sign to the right of the headings.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.19.00-am.png

Click the little shopping basket image under the free product(s) that you’d like to add to your order.  If you change your mind, click the small icon to the right of the shopping cart button with the “x” on it.  That will remove the item from your cart and allow you to add something else.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.19.36-am.png

If you’ve earned a level 2 item, click the “+” arrow to the right of that heading and those items will appear as options to add to your cart.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.19.56-am.png

If you’ve earned the free host stamp set with an order of $300+, you can click the “+” button to the right of the header to add that item to your cart.

Once you’ve added your items to the cart, the “continue” button on the upper right will turn pink and you can click on it and then check out like you normally would.  If you don’t want the free items, you can chose to “check out without using my rewards” but you will not be able to cash in those free items later.  So make sure that you add the items that you’d like before you check out!

Hopefully these changes will make the store easier to use and navigate for Sale-a-bration!  You’ll see the addition of the Sale-a-bration items to the checkout process beginning on August 3 and running through September 30.  Let me know if you have questions as you start placing those orders on Tuesday!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Dahlias

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Happy September!!! I can’t believe another month is gone. My daughter starts in person school today again, YAY!!! That means I get to start running her to the train station 3 mornings a week to catch a 7:30am train. She’s happy to be going back in person and to meet up with the friends she’s met online from her classes from the last couple semesters.

For today’s card I used one of my favorite Sale-a-bration sets that’s available right now. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Dahlias Sale-a-bration Photopolymer Stamp Set along with Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper for today’s card.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #264.

I started by randomly stamping the large dahlia image from the Delicate Dahlias SAB stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the leaf image from the Delicate Dahlia stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the dahlia images using the Masking Technique. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered 2 panels of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ Pale Papaya Woven Ribbon around the panel, adhering it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small flower image from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink and fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the flower to the end of the sentiment using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the dahlia image from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink by the dahlia image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basie White Medium Envelope. I stamped the dahlia image from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the envelope front and the leaf image in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered a panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
