Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you weekend is going as expected. It’s been a gorgeous one here in NJ. Perfect temperatures with a nice breeze and low humidity. We’ll see what today bring,.I’ll be at the dog bakery all day today.

Today’s card is the last one from last Sunday’s quarterly team meeting. This card was designed by one of my team members Judi Hartbarger. I just love cards with lots of layers and this one is just beautiful. I had a lot of fun making it. If you want to see a quick video on how I made it, click Here for my Instagram reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering an All About Autumn DSP card front to a Moody Mauve mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of the All About Autumn DSP to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue.

Using the Autumn Leaves Dies, I embossed the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Moody Mauve Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered a small panel of All About Autumn DSP below the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. From scraps of Copper Clay and Moody Mauve, I cut the leaves and vein using the Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered the leaves and vein to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Gue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Moody Mauve mat using Stampin’ Seal. I folded 2 pieces of the 1″ Natural Ribbon from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack in half and adhered them to the back of the layered panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the oak leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, twice on the bottom and once on the top of the panel. I stamped the vein image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink by the leaves. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the oak leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I stamped the vein image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink next to the leaves. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn 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!!

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.
