Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US. I hope you will be enjoying a nice dinner with friends and family. This year we will be having a very quiet Thanksgiving with just my daughter, husband and me. I hope you will take a moment to remember those that cannot be with their families and friends and those that are not as fortunate as we are.

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Rose Bundle which will be available starting January 4th along with the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper which will be FREE during Sale-A-Bration starting January 4th, Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set and the Nested Essentials Dies for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #427.

I started by adhering a panel of the Softly Stippled DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Berry Burst card baes using Liquid Glue.

I stamped the rose leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Rose Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Basic White. I cut the panel using the Nested Essentials Dies. On another panel of Basic White, I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Rose stamp set by inking the stamp using Berry Burst and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut the rose out using the Stippled Rose Dies. Using the Stippled Rose Dies, I cut a panel of Mossy Meadow using the rose leaf die. I adhered the rose leaf to the stamped Basic White panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the rose image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of berry burst using the same Nested Essentials Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stippled Rose stamp set in Versamark Ink on the panel. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I randomly stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Rose stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the Berry Burst panel. I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the rose panel over the sentiment panel using Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the rose leaf image from the Stippled Rose stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the sides of the panel. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Rose stamp set in Berry Burst Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pebbled Path mat then to the inside of the Berry Burst card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose leaf image from the Stippled Rose stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Rose stamp set by inking up the stamp using Berry Burst and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the envelope flap and stamped the 2 corners with the small rose image from the Stippled Rose stamp set in Berry Burst Ink.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   BX4UV6HE

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.
