Good Monday morning my stamping friends, HAPPY SPRING!!! Living in NJ we’ll probably get a snowstorm next week now since we didn’t really have snow all winter LOL. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you were able to spend some time for yourself.

Today’s card is one that we made at out quarterly team meeting last Sunday. This one was designed by one of my team member, Carol Buckalew. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle along with the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card. Some of the items used are unavailable at this time but should be back in stock by the middle of April or beginning of May.

I started by adhering a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the front of a Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the flowers and leaves from the Hello Irresistible DSP using the Irresistible Blooms Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo Ink to the right side of a strip of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a piece of White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon to the sentiment using a little Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flowers to the left side of the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added some Loose Frosted Dots to the flowers and card front.

On the inside, I adhered 2 panels of Hello Irresistible DSP to either side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the smaller panels of Hello Irresistible DSP to the narrow panel of cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a couple more of the die cut flowers from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the inside panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves under the flowers. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink. I stamped a couple of the leaves from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set on the panel in Mint Macaron Ink. I adhered the Basic white panel to the right side of the narrow strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. To adhere the narrow strip, I adhered the right-side first using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back of the left side and closed the card base onto it.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set on the envelope front. I stamped the leaves from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink by the flowers. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible 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!!

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.
