Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was your weekend? It was a hot and muggy one here in NJ. It was a little difficult to breath outside on Saturday. Saturday night we had such a severe storm, besides waking us up, alerts for a tornado were going off on our phones. My husband and I along with Coraline, headed downstairs at 1am until the warning went off. Storms don’t usually bother me, but with the alerts going off and the non-stop thunder and lightning and we’re in an attic room, I felt it best to be downstairs for a bit.
I have a super quick sympathy card for you today where I let the DSP do most of the work for me. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set for my card today.
![Stampin' Up! So Sincere Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com](https://creativestampingdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/stampinupso-sinceresympathy2creativestampingdesigns.com_.jpg?w=1024)
I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Copper Clay Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips.

I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Copper Clay Jute from the 2023-2025 In-Color Jute. I adhered the bow using a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.
![Stampin' Up! So Sincere Sympathy 6 creativestampingdesigns.com](https://creativestampingdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/stampinupso-sinceresympathy6creativestampingdesigns.com_.jpg?w=1024)
To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: 4G2N3MDT
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 youβll 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 itβs 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 monthβs 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 youβre ordering with me, and youβll get my rewards!
Happy Stamping, Karen
*********************************************************************************************************
In response to changing policies at Stampinβ Up β Iβm adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. Iβm 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 β youβre 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 β which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But β if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then youβll have two options:
- Youβll need to call Stampinβ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. Theyβre very helpful and will get it done quickly! ORβ¦.
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, thenβ¦youβll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards β this is the Bummer Option β and I REALLY donβt want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
