Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am. It has taken me all week to get back to my ‘normal’ routine. I think the plane flight last week really threw me off. I have been suffering with migraines all week.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. 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 brand new Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Country Wood Designer Series Paper and Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. These products will be available to purchase starting on May 1st. If you’d like to get your hands on them early, you can join as a demonstrator and put them in your starter kit starting on April 2nd. I also used the Designer Tags Dies, Deckled Circles Dies and Deckled Rectangle Dies.

I started by cutting all the parts out for the birdhouse using the Country Birdhouse Dies and Country Wood DSP, Basic Beigh, Misty Moonlight and Poo Party cardstock.

I embossed 2 Misty Moonlight card front panels using the new Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panels to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

I put the pieces of the birdhouse together using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Country Wood DSP to a Basic Beige mat that I cut using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the birdhouse to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front panel to the left side of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink 5 times. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Designer Tags Dies. I tied a bow using Linen Thread to the tag. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin Dimensionals. I added a Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearl (available May 1) to the sentiment flower center.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the bird and flower images from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whit panel to a Basic Beige mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish mu card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird and flower images from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front and colored the images the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Country Wood DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my sneak peek of my card and will give it a try. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take it.

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

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.
