Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans? I’ll be attending my OnTour Virtual event this morning. I can’t wait to see some of the new products being used. I got my preorder for the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog placed yesterday. My credit card is only a little in shock, well maybe a lot. As soon as my goodies arrive, I’ll do a Facebook live opening of the box. I’ll post something on my Facebook page as soon as I know when it’ll be. I have to wait for the UPS guy to drop it off.

Today’s card is another Clean and Simple one that is also Monochromatic. I’m so happy this set will be carrying over to the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set for my CAS card today. I saw this design made by Kylie Bertucci and had to make it. I don’t usually CASE many cards, but this one just caught my eye and I had to make it. I did change mine up a little.

I started by stamping the flower, typed and splotch images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Versamark Ink randomly on a Misty Moonlight card front. I immediately sprinkled the panel with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I adhered the Misty Moonlight card front to a Basic White mat and then to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set around the floral image in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat. I wrapped a piece of Misty Moonlight 1/8″ Cotton Ribbon from the Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack, around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front, off centered, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image on either side of the sentiment in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink around the floral images. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral and splotch images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the typed and flower images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope flap in Misty Moonlight Ink.

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

Stampin’ Up! New Shipping Fees Beginning April 1

I want to let you know about a change to Stampin’ Up!’s shipping and handling pricing.  Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater.

If you ever use the expedited shipping options, those fees are going up a bit too.  Here are the new fees for expedited shipping:

• Next Day Upgrade: $38.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
• 2nd Day Upgrade: $23.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
• 3 Day Shipping Upgrade: $15.00 USD ($5.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
• The expedited shipping option rates above are calculated in addition to the standard shipping rate (e.g., the next day shipping option would cost $7.95 USD or 11%—whichever is greater—plus $38.00 USD)

I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me.  Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so they can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated paper crafting products that you love.
