Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Sorry I missed doing a live on Wednesday, I’ve been in bed sick all week. I’m finally able to get up a little, then I have to go back to lay down for a bit. I’m still extremely dizzy and weak, whatever this is that I have is awful. I’m pretty sure it’s pneumonia, but I’m not the Dr.

My card for today is one that we made at our last Stamping Studio meeting where we did some mystery stamping. Jaimie sent us some measurements for card stock and DSP and let us know what other supplies we needed. She then walked us through the process of making today’s card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring my Gorgeous Grape card base at 4 1/4″ & 8 1/2″. I made a small pencil mark 1 1/2″ in from the right side (the shortest scored panel). I cut from that 1 1/2″ mark down to the bottom right corner using my Paper Trimmer. I then trimmed 1/16″ off the left side so that the card would fold flat. On the 2 1/4″ X 5 1/4″ panel of Basic White I made a pencil mark 7/8″ from the left. I cut from the pencil mark down to the bottom left corner using my Paper Trimmer. On the 2 1/8″ X 5 1/8″ panel of Perennial Lavender DSP I made a pencil mark 3/4″ in from the left side. I cut from the pencil mark down to the bottom left corner. I adhered the DSP to the Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Gorgeous Grape card base using Liquid Glue.

I adhered the 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″ panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the Gorgeous Grape card base using Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Gorgeous Grape, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Perennial Postage Dies. From the panel of Basic White, I cut the next size larger using the Perennial Postage Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the right card front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the stem image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the stem image. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on top of the stem. I adhered a panel of Perennial Lavender 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.
