Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s another rainy day here in NJ. It rained most of the night and is supposed to continue on most of the day. Good day to stay in and craft as far as I’m concerned.

Today’s I have a super simple card using products from the Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I kept my card CAS today with just Stamps, Ink and Paper. I used the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Countdown Challenge #777.

I started by using my Blending Brush and adding Bubble Bath Ink to a Basic White card front. I had cut a mask using the Countryside Corners Dies and placed it over the card front.

I stamped the flower/butterfly image from the Softly Sketched stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the side of the blended section.

I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the bottom of the blended section. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Real Red Ink around the stamped image. I adhered the Basic White card front to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Bubble Bath card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside, I used my Blending Brush to add a little Bubble Bath Ink to the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink over the blended section. I stamped the flower/butterfly image from the Softly Sketched stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set around the image in Real Red Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath cared base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I added Bubble Bath Ink using my Blending Brush to the envelope front and flap. I stamped the flower/butterfly image from the Softly Sketched stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Real Red Ink around the images.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

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.
