Good Sunday morning my stamping friends HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope you all had a fun New Year’s Eve. Did anyone go out to celebrate? A couple of my husband’s friends came over last night and I got to spend some time in my crafting area. My husband and daughter picked up all kinds of appetizers, so it was a very relaxed evening.

I pulled out some product from the Annual Catalog for my card today. I felt it was appropriate, LOL. In only 4 short days the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog will be live and you can finally order things that are on your shopping list. I know my list is very long. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Awash In Beauty DSP to another panel of Awash In Beauty DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Merry Merlot mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a small panel of Awash Ink Beauty DSP using the large narrow banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I embossed a panel of Merry Merlot cardstock using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the banner to the embossed panel using Glue Dots. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest narrow Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the goblet image from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink 2 times. I stamped the solid image from the Brewed For You stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink over the goblet image. I cut the 2 images out using the Brewed Dies. I adhered the goblets to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Mossy Meadow Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Brewed For You stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink on a panel of Basic White Cardstock. I stamped the goblet image from the Brewed For You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the solid image in Blushing Bride Ink inside the glass. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Merry Merlot mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the goblet image from the Brewed For You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the front of the envelope twice. I stamped the solid image in the glass in Blushing Bride Ink. I adhered a panel of Awash In Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

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

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   222EBX64

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 July – December 2022 Mini Catalog!  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:

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.

How shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs! Designer Series Paper Shares Do Not earn my Creative Stamping Designs Rewards.
