Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It was actually busier than I thought it would be yesterday at work. Everyone seems to be painting all of a sudden. I have a workshop today that I’m really looking forward to. I hope everyone likes the cards they will be making.

Today’s card uses some Annual Catalog products along with Sale-a-bration DSP. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sending Dies, Darling Details Dies and Sale-a-bration Sunny Days Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Colours & Sketches Challenge #531

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #781.

I started by cutting the top and bottom of the Basic White panel using the Darling Details Dies. I threaded a piece of 1/4″ Petal Pink ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack through the top and bottom of the scalloped edge. I stamped the stem images from the Sending Smiles stamp set on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower images from the Sending Smiles stamp set on the stems in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the flower center images on the flowers in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the artwork panel to the center of the scalloped edge panel.

I cut the detailed sentiment using the Sending Dies from a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment mat using the Sending Dies from a panel of Shaded Spruce. I adhered the detailed sentiment to the mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut sentiment to the artwork panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Sending Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Rainbow Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on panel of Basic White. I stamped the stem images from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flower images from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the stems and the flower centers in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shaded Spruce 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 stem images from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower images from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the stems and the flower center images in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days 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.
