Good Monday morning stamping friends Happy April and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? Did you all have a nice Easter?

Today’s card I played with something different for me. I mixed up some retiring p9roducts with some that’s carrying over and some new. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelope pack along with the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Bundle, 2″ Circle Punch and Stampin’ Up! Flower Cart Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. These cards & envelope pack will be retiring at the end of the month. I’ve never used them before and I don’t know why, it made such an elegant card.

I started by coloring the roses on the front of the Gold Foiled Flowers card base using the new 2024-2026 In-Color Pretty Ink Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Using the Stippled Roses Dies, I cut the flowers from a panel of Pretty Ink Pink and the leaves from a panel of Shy Shamrock (both of these colors will be available starting May 1st). I adhered the flowers to the leaves using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered a piece of Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves with the flowers under the sentiment using Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Flower Cart stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Pretty In Pink and shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pretty In Pink mat then to the inside of the Gold Foiled Flowers card base.

To finish my card, I decorated the Very Vanilla envelope that comes with the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Pretty In Pink and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. The envelope flap was already die cut.

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