Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I can’t believe we’re already halfway through the week. I think I missed a couple days. I spent all day yesterday reorganizing my craft studio getting ready for all the new products coming. I pulled everything that will be retiring off my shelves to make room.

Today’s cards are ones that we made at our Team Stamp Studio last Tuesday night for mystery stamping. Jaimie had us mad 2 since we were cutting cardstock on a diagonal and didn’t want to waste it. Here’s my cards for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Bundle along with the Forever Love Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

I started by adhering panels of Forever Love DSP to the Pretty Peacock card bases using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the Very Vanilla panel in half on a diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom right corner using the Paper Trimmer. I cut the panel of Forever Love DSP in half on a diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom right corner using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the Forever Love DSP to the Very Vanilla panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the triangle layered panels to the card base using Liquid Glue along the left side and bottom only. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the image out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I stamped the flower image again on the panel in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the image with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the image using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I adhered the floral image to the triangle panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems to the Embossed panel and Iridescent Foil Gems to the stamped panel.

I adhered the smaller panel of Forever Love DSP to the panel of Very Vanilla using Stampin’ Seal. I punched a slit in the center top of the layered panel using the Very Beat Trio Punch. I threaded pieces of Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon through one of the layered panels and Gold & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon through the other layered panel. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiments out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the tags using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the back of the panels, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the single flower image from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panels. I adhered the Very Vanilla panels to the back of the tag using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Forever Love DSP to the envelope flaps.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards 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.

I’m planning on going live today on my YouTube Channel at 4pm ET. I hope you can join me for today’s project.
