Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge and I thought I’d go a little tropical. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Palms Photopolymer Stamp Set, Palm Dies, and 2022-2024 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.
This is our sketch for this week.
I started by adhering a panel of the 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to a Tahitian Tide card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I embossed the rectangle using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Tahitian Tide mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. Using my Water Painter, I added some Smoky Slate Ink just to the center of the larger 2 images. I cut the images out using the Sweet Citrus Dies. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink 5 times. I stamped the flower images from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I colored the flowers using the Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Sweet Citrus Dies. From a panel of Parakeet Party cardstock, I cut 3 of the palms from the Palms Dies.
I adhered the coconut images to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and palms under the coconuts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers around the coconuts using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the center of the flowers. On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink. I cut both ends of the strip into a banner using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Polished Pink Ink and colored the flowers with the Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the ‘coconut’ image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Soft Suede Ink. I added some Smoky Slate Ink in the center only of the image using my Water Painter. I stamped the leaf image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set by the coconut. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Tahitian Tide mat and then to the inside of the Tahitian Tide card base.
To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the ‘coconut’ image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink by the coconut. I stamped the flower image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the bottom of the envelope front and colored them with the Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: 7KF3QB4G
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. 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:
- 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.
