Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be at work all day Saturday and then we have out quarterly team meeting in person on Sunday. I love those meetings; we get to stamp together and chat for a bit and of course laugh.

Today’s card I was planning on doing on my live on Wednesday afternoon, but my contractor had other plans. After waiting 5 months for him to come replace doors in my craft studio and around the house, he thought Wednesday was the perfect day.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Meadow Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I then cut the leaf die from the Meadow Dies from the center of the Basic White panel. Using my Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker, I flicked specks on the die cut panel.

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the left front of a Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the DSP card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the leaf stem using a Glue Dot. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the right front of the Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink 2 times on the bottom of the panel, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the side of the panel. I blended the flowers using a Blender Pen to spread the color a little. I flicked a little ink using my Starry Sky Stamp’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope front in Starry Sky Ink twice, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink over the script image. I blended the flowers using my Blender Pen. I adhered a panel of Stargazing 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.
