Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. This week just flew right by it seems. Are you ready for the weekend? Is anyone starting to make plans? I’ll be working all day Saturday and I have a workshop that I’ll be doing on Sunday. I’m pretty excited about doing the workshop, I’m going to get to meet some new stampers and I hope they like the cards that I designed for them to make.

Today’s card uses all Sale-a-bration items again. These items are free with qualifying orders, but only until next Thursday February 29th. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper and Sunny Days Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by stamping the leaf image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the larger flower image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the leaf image. I stamped the sentiment from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the artwork to a Pecan Pie mat, a Poppy Parade mat and a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to a Basic White mat and a Poppy Parade mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Liquid Glue.

I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left side of the image. I added a few of the Sale-a-bration Opaque Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the left side of a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days DSP to the right side of the panel. I adhered the layered panel to a Poppy Parade mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the leaf image. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy 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!!

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   T9JKA3XQ

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. 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.
