Good Monday morning stamping friends. Welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? It was very rainy and stormy here yesterday. I finally got the rest of my tomato plants into pots and got everything in place where I want it before the storms started coming through. It rained so hard though, that my plants were swimming.

Today I have a quick CAS card for you where I mixed a stamp set with a different suite DSP. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set along with the Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #750.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #593.

I started by stamping the small vase from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in the vase in Berry Burst Ink. I stamped the center one off once on scrap paper then stamped the others.

I adhered 2 strips of Inked Botanicals DSP to either side of a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic Gray cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Berry Burst Ink, stamping the center one off on scrap paper once then stamping the other ones. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set on the envelope front in Berry Burst Ink the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals 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!!

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!

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.
