Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you all ready for the weekend. I’ll be prepping all day today for next weekend’s retreat and my Stamp Camp Card Class that I’ll be having the day after I et home from the retreat.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

I used the Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Bundle (available November 7th) along with the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper (available in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog), Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Cling Stamp Set and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Pool Party card base. The 3″, 7 1/2″ & 10″ score lines are all Mountain folds. The 6″ & 9 ” score lines are Valley folds. I adhered the 3 panels of Bee Mine DSP to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the 3 Sweet Sorbet panels to the 3 coordinating Petal ink mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3″ diamond to the center back, butting the corner right in the center fold. I lined the 2 3/4″ diamond in the center folded area and 2 1/2″ diamond on the front folded panel, lining up all 3 diamonds.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bear, cat and hamster images from the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Cling Stamp Set in tuxedo Black Ink. I colored all the images using Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Ivory, Lemon Lime Twist, Natural Tones, Petal pink, Pool party, Smoky Slate and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. Using Glue Dots, I adhered the bear to the back panel, cat to the center and hamster to the front panel.

I cut 6 pieces of grass from a panel of Lemon Lime Twist using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. On the Basic White panel, I stamped the sentiments from the Zany Zoo stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiments out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the grass die cuts below the animals using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiments to the 1st and center images using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers (available January 2024) to the sentiments.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bunny image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Smoky Slate & Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink 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 bunny and hamster image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images with Lemon Lime Twist, Naturals Tone, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Smoky Slate & Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the envelope flap.

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! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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.
