Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are ready for the weekend. I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but I have off Sunday again for our virtual team meeting.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set along with the Something Fancy Dies and One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Mossy Meadow card base to make a gate fold card.

I adhered 2 panels of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to Lemon Lolly mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To make the belly band, I took a strip of Lemon Lolly cardstock and wrapped it around the card base. I trimmed the ends so there wasn’t a huge overlap. I adhered the ends together using Tear & Tape. I adhered 2 strips of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the belly band front using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Lemon Lolly, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies. I cut out the larger of the same Something Fancy Dies from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment to the belly band using Tear & Tape. I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

To finish my card , I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set on the envelope front in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my YouTube Channel Here.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   MHTQEVEX

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.
