Good Monday morning stamping friends, Happy Juneteenth!! How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you some fun plans and were able to enjoy Father’s Day. We had a nice quiet day. My daughter and I cooked for my husband, and he was able to have a relaxing day. Today is my son’s birthday and I’m hoping to see him for a little bit at some point today. His summer camps have started, and they are all day every day. He coaches soccer for kids of all ages. He’ll be in a different location every week, so I’ll possibly get to see him if he’s close to home. He turned 28 today, he was my little preemie arriving a month early. He’s now 6′ tall and has made up for being early.

I received a new bundle last week and couldn’t wait to play with it. There are so many dies, I didn’t know what to play with first. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Darling Details Bundle along with the Basics 3D Embossing Folder, 2 3/8″ Circle Punch and Vellum Basics Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Challenge #311.

My design is from Hand Stamped Sentiments #416.

I started by adhering a panel of Moody Mauve cardstock to a Vellum Basics card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Balmy Blue card bae using Stampin’ Seal only behind the square panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Darling Details Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink on the top of a Basic Whtie panel. I cut the bottom of the panel using the Darling Details Dies. I weaved a piece of Balmy Blue 3/8″ Double-Stitched Ribbon through the die cut bottom and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the circle using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch from a panel of Basic Whtie. I embossed the circle using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. On the panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the larger detailed flower image form the Darling Details stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink. I stamped the larger solid flower image from the Darling Details stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image. I cut the flower out using the Darling Details Dies. Using the Darling Details Dies, I cut the small flower sprig from a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock twice, and I cut the detailed flower die from a panel of Moody Mauve cardstock. I adhered the stamped die cut flower to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 flower sprigs behind the stamped flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the detailed flower die under the circle using Glue Dots. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Darling Details stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outlined flower image from the Darling Details stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid flower image over the detailed image in Moody Mauve Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger flower image out line form the Darling Details stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the solid flower image from the Darling Details stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink over the outlined image, stamping off on scrap paper once.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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 2023-2024 Annual 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.
