Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I worked all day Saturday but had Sunday off. I was able to catch up on a workshop I had signed up for with Stampin’ Up! It was live on Saturday, but we are able to access the link until July. I was excited to see what they did with the bundle that will be available to customers in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. We also got a sneak peek at Online Exclusive products that will be available July 6th. These workshops are one of the perks of being a demonstrator. There’s information below if you would like to join and be on my team, I’d love for you to join me.

Today’s card is one of the cards from the Creativity Now Workshop. This one was the first card, but the advanced version. Of course, I made a few tweaks to make it my own. I’ll be posting the ‘CAS’ version tomorrow. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Bubble Bath card bae using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink next to the large flower. I stamped the stems and leave from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the panel using the 2nd & 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies, cutting them at the same time. I adhered the die cut panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Vellum Paper, I stamped the large flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink, the medium flower image in Lemon Lolly Ink and the double leaf image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the artwork using Glue Dots, off centering them slightly.

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered a piece of Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Translucent Florals stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I stamped the small flower by the sentiment in Bubble Bath Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large and medium flowers from the Translucent Florals stamp set in bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly Inks on the envelope front. I stamped the stems and leave in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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.

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.
