Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re down to our last couple days of August and for some reason the song See You In September keeps going through my head. Another month flying by on me.
Today’s card was a fairly quick one playing with a new set from the upcoming mini catalog starting September 6th along with some Online Exclusive DSP. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set along with the Online Exclusive One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Basics 3D Embossing Folder and the Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.
My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #316 In The Corner.
I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to a Boho Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid glue.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the per image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Boho Blue mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered a piece of Boho Blue 3/8″ Textured Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Glue Dots. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the crd front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the pear image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pear image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. 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 like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:Β Β Β P6UQN4GZ
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.

Iβm planning on going live today on my YouTube Channel at 4pm ET. I hope you can join me for todayβs card.

That way, you have the chance to get ahead on Christmas cards, seasonal crafts, and much more. These products are available while supplies lastβyou donβt want to miss out!
Sales Period: Starting 6 September

The last state New Jersey going on August 26th β September 4th. If you live in NJ, take a second to download the spreadsheet Click Here and mark your calendar!
Please note that you must place your order with Stampinβ Up! during the tax holiday period in your state in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday).
