Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do something fun.

Today’s card is one that we are going to make at my Stamp Camp card class tomorrow night. I thought I’d focus on using some designer series paper with the ladies. I know I always used to struggle with how and when to use it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating you Cling Stamp Set along with the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper for my card today. Tomorrow night the ladies are all going to be making this card, but they will all have different designs of the DSP and different color card stock for their cards. I can’t wait to see how different they all come out.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Polished Pink mat and then to a Thick Basic White card base.

I cut 4 panels of the Expressions in Ink DSP using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the 4 cut panels of DSP to 4 Polished Pink mats and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the same side Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to a Polished Pink mat. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Expressions in Ink DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Expressions in Ink DSP on the envelope front and a panel 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!!

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.
