Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you were able to have the day off yesterday. I had Sunday and yesterday off. I was able to get a little of my fall cleaning done and have time to go in my craft room. I was able to get all my card kits cut up and ready for my class tonight. I’m hoping the ladies like the cards we’re going to make. My husband had some friends over in the afternoon and evening, and we had a little BBQ both days.

I had fun making today’s card. It was like a puzzle, which I love to do. Would you like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card? You can see it Here on my Instagram reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Buncle along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

I started by embossing 2 panels of Crushed Curry and 2 panels of Pumpkin Pie using the Leaf Fall 3D EF. I adhered the panels to an Old Olive mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Rustic Crate Dies I cut the sentiment and crate from panels of Pecan Pie, the brackets from a scrap of Rose Gold Specialty Paper, the gloves from a panel of Old Olive and the glove tops from a scrap of Very Vanilla.

I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I cut the image our using the Rustic Crate Dies. I colored the image using Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the sunflower using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and Crushed Curry Ink. I adhered the brackets to the crate using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. I adhered the glove tops using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the colored image to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the crate over the colored image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiments and gloves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from So Sincere stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card front. I embossed a panel of Old Olive using the Leaf Fall 3D EF and adhered it 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!!

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.
