Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Karen’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Summer”. We can interpret this however we want. I have a sneak peek for you of a set that’s coming to the Online Exclusives on July 6th. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm Cling Stamp Set (available July 6th), along with the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from the Paper Players Challenge #644.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic Whtie using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered the artwork to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Charm stamp set on either side of the flower in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink next to the flower, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf image on the envelope flap in Lost Lagoon Ink some full strength and some stamped off once on scrap paper.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   GVEBWYZ6

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:

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.
