Good Friday morning my stamping friends Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! How many of you wear green today even if you are not Irish? I’ll be at work all day and I just happen to have a work sweatshirt that’s dark green. Usually, I will only wear my emerald earrings just to say I have green on. I don’t have one bit of Irish in me, but my husband and children do. I believe we figured it out that they are 1/8 Irish, 1/4 Czechoslovakian but 5/8 Italian (that’s me). How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rhino Ready Bundle along with the Like An Animal Designer Series Paper, Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper, Radiating Stitches Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

I started by adhering panel of Like An Animal DSP to a Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Rhino Ready Dies, I cut the treetops and leaves from Awash In Beauty DSP, the grass from a panel of Granny Apple Green and the trees from a panel of Soft Suede. I cut the 2nd Radiating Stitches Die from a panel of Smoky Slate cardstock. I adhered a panel of Delicate Desert DSP to the center of the stitched die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the trees to the card font using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the treetops to the trees using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the grass below the trees using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the rhino, bird and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Rhino Ready Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the rhino using my Gray Granite and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the bird using Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the bird to the rhino using a Glue Dot. I adhered the rhino to the card front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the rhino using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the sentiment using the smallest Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the back panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the front folded panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Rhino Ready stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the grass image from the Rhino Ready stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink along the bottom of the panel. I stamped the bird image from the Rhino Ready stamp set on top of the sentiment. I colored the grass using my Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers and the bird using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rhino image from the Rhino Ready stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Gray Granite, Smoky Slate and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Like An Animal DSP to the envelope flap.

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.
