Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through the week already.

Today’s card was a last-minute card that I added to our Stamp Camp Card Class last night. We kicked off the new catalog with a scavenger hunt where the ladies won some prize patrol for finishing it. We then made some masculine cards. My upline Jaimie is doing a weekly sketch challenge with us again and her sketch came in just in time for an idea for a card. Here’s my card that was inspired from her sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

This was her sketch for us this week.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored just the leaves of the image using the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic Black cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the ends of using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped part of the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the leaves using Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the leaves using my Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped part of the tree image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set on the envelope flap in Tuxedo Black Ink.

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.
