Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

I used the soon to retire Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set and Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

I started by embossing a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Lost Lagoon and Inked Botanicals DSP using the 4th largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

I adhered the 2 die cut panels together using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I fussy cut the leaf using Paper Snips.

On a strip of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment form the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends. I adhered the fussy cut leaf to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I inked up the tall flower stamp using Crushed Curry and Lost Lagon Stampin’ Write Markers. I huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamped the flower on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the envelope front inking it up the same as I did for the inside of the card. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink over the flower image stem. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today. If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go to Tara’s page. Or you can just click on the names below to go directly to all their blogs! Happy Hopping!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   GVPUUBAZ

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. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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.
