Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy March!!! Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? Last night I went to a fund raiser with all the ladies I work with from the Hungry Hound Dog Bakery. It’s a lady’s night out and we’ve gone the past few years, it’s for Pediatric Brain Cancer. It’s a silent auction and there’s always a theme. Last night’s theme was Boots and Bling. We all wore different color blingy Cowboy hats that lit up. We laughed and had such a good time. The fund raiser was a huge success too. Here’s a picture of our group that won for the best group category.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle along with the Online Exclusive Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper for my card today. This suite will be available starting in March.

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Liquid Glue only on the bottom half of the panel.

I adhered the smaller panel of Flowering Zinnias to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card base together using Liquid Glue on the 1 1/4″ section to make a binder look. I adhered the layered panel to the 1 1/4″ section of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large zinnia image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using my Banner Pick A Punch, I cut both ends. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adfhesive-Back Shining Sequins (available March 5) to the card front.

For the inside, I adhered a Basic White panel to a Mango Melody mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base. I stamped the smaller zinnia and the leaf images from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the images out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the images using Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the zinnia to the bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flower using Glue Dots. I added 1 of the Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the center of the zinnia.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large zinnia image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

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.
