Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Who has today off for Presidents Day? I don’t. That’s a disadvantage of working retail. Even though I work in the office, we’re still open.
Today’s card is pretty much the basics of Stamps, Ink and Paper. I did add a little embellishment, since I thought it just needed a little something extra. I also did one of my favorite techniques, double time stamping. I just love double and triple time stamping. I also did the Spot Light Technique. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.
I started by lightly adhering a small panel of Basic White cardstock to a larger panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the large flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the corners of the panels. I removed the small panel and stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings between the flowers in Smoky Slate Ink.
Using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers, I colored just the flowers on the small panel. I adhered the small panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal. Lining up the flowers, I adhered the layered panel to the larger stamped Basic White panel using Stampin’ Seal.
I adhered the layered panels to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic white panel. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I colored just the flowers in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller flower from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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!!

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:
- 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….
- 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.
