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. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements Bundle along with the Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by embossing a Granny Apple Green card front using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Granny Apple Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to a Berry Burst mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Basic White using the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Berry Burst mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the 2 floral images and the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the 2 berry images and the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I cut all the images out using the Timeless Arrangements Dies. I colored the floral and leaf images using Berry Burst, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Timeless Arrangements Dies, I cut the leaf dies from a panel of Granny Apple Green, the Flower dies from a panel of Berry Burst, the larger flower die from a panel of Lemon Lolly and the berry die from a panel of Blueberry Bushel. Using Glue Dots, I adhered the 4 die cuts together. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the adhered die cuts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered dies to the embossed Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the stamped die cuts behind the collage using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the collage panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf and floral images from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Berry Burst Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the berry images from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Berry Burst mat then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral and leaf images from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the berry images in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I colored the images using Berry Burst, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to the envelope flap.

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.
