Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Hope you have some fun plans and are staying warm. I’ll be at work all day today. I didn’t get much de-Christmasing done yesterday, after Coraline’s training I think I was more tired than her LOL. We were practicing on and off all day with things I learned. I asked the trainer who was being trained, Coraline or me, she laughed and said me.

I have some babies coming this year and one that has already been born, so I thought I should get to work with making baby cards. I don’t have a baby set, so I used one of the Sale-a-brations sets. This set is available for free with a qualifying order of $50 during Sale-a-bration. My card used just Stamps, Ink and Paper today. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Sale-a-bration Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Dandy Designs Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from my upline, Jaimie, that is giving us sketch challenges each week.

I started by adhering a panel of Dandy Designs DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the owl image from the Adorable Owls stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Night of Navy cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I adhered a strip of Dandy Designs DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the owl image from the Adorable Owls stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored the image the same as I did for the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Adorable Owls stamp set in Night of Navy Ink above the owl. I adhered a panel of Dandy Designs DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

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:

1. 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….
2. 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.
