Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you all remember to spring ahead with your clocks. Most of ours do it on their own, so I only had a couple to take care of. It poured here in NJ yesterday and last night. I’m just so tired of all the rain. I have hydrangeas all around my home. One of the one’s in my backyard is not surviving all the rain, I’m going to have to try to save it by transplanting it to dryer grounds. My backyard is a giant sponge.

Today I have a super simple quick and easy card for you using some Online Exclusive products. 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! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set along with the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

I started by embossing a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP using the Zinnia EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Liquid Glue.

I tied a small bow using the 1/8″ Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I adhered a strip of Flowering Zinnia DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Flowering Zinnia DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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.
