Good Sunday morning stamping friends Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t have an ounce of Irish in me, but my mom would make corned beef and cabbage every year and serve it with Italian bread on St. Patrick’s Day. We’re Italian so we had Italian bread with everything. How is your weekend going? Our Stampin’ Up! OnStage convention is done and I’ll be heading back to NJ today. I’ve had so much fun with all my team members and I’m already looking forward to next years.

Today’s card is the last one that we made last Sunday at our team meeting. This beautiful card was designed by one of my team members and friend Terry Lynn Bright. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by cutting the Melon Mambo card base. I marked the right front edge of the card base at 2 1/8″ with a small pencil mark. I cut from the pencil mark to the first score line both bottom and top to make the diamond. The card base is folded in half at the 5 1/2″ score line and folded back at the 2 1/8″ score line so the diamond is on the front of the card.

I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the front of the card base. I adhered the square panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the diamond front using Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Melon Mambo Ink on the strip of Basic White. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips.

Using the Simply Zinnia Dies, I cut the Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo and Petal Pink flower pieces. I adhered them together using Glue Dots. I cut 2 stems from Lemon Lime Twist and Mossy Meadow using the Simply Zinnia Dies and the leaves from Lemon Lime Twist. I adhered the stems together using Liquid Glue and the leaves using a Glue Dot. I adhered the stem and flower to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment across the stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the left side using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered another panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the inside of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias 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.
