Good Wednesday morning stamping friends and Happy Thanksgiving Eve. Will you be cooking Thanksgiving Dinner or going to Family or friends for dinner? I’ll be making dinner for us. We’ll put the turkey on the grill late morning and be cooking up the sides while the turkey is cooking. Tonight, I’ll be making the apple and pumpkin pies along with getting the ingredients measured out for the pumpkin crescent rolls that I make every year.

Today’s card is the last one I have from the retreat at the beginning of the month. This card was designed by Lynn Schmidt. This set has endless possibilities of designs you can make with it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by tearing the edge of a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP. I adhered the torn panel to a panel of Pretty Peacock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Gray Granite mat using Stampin Seal then to a Pecan Pie mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the multi layered panel to a Basic White card base using Liquid Glue.

I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I cut a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut circle DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the vase image from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Lost Lagoon. I cut the vase out using the Earthen Textures Dies. Also using the Earthen Textures Dies, I cut the vase handle and 1 of the floral dies from a panel of Gray Granite, I cut the same floral die from panels of Pretty Peacock and Vellum Paper.

I placed the floral die cut pieces on the card front the way I wanted them using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the handle to the vase using Liquid Glue. I adhered the vase to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Timeless Arrangements Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the feather image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the feather image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card, and you 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.

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