Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Hope your week has started off well. I have my Stamp Camp Card Class tonight and I have nothing prepared. I at least have an idea of what cards we’re going to make. So, today will be spent cutting up cardstock and prepping supplies. The good thing is the ladies that come to the class comment on my cards so I know the one’s they would like to make.

I played with some of the beautiful Sale-a-bration DSP for today’s card. There are only 3 weeks left of Sale-a-bration where you can earn free products with qualifying orders. Plus, for those that have already gotten what they would like from the Sale-a-bration brochure, Stampin’ Up! has added more items. all information is below after my card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Bundle along with the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper for my card today. This Fragrant Flowers Bundle is one of 4 bundles that you get to pick if you want it in Cling or Photopolymer. Which is your favorite kind of stamp?

I started by adhering a panel of the Favored Flowers DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the large flower image from a panel of Favored Flowers DSP using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. I adhered the die cut flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Favored Flowers 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!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:    BFQ24SXS

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.
