Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!! Happy JUNE!!! June used to be such a busy time of the year with the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. Both my kids are in their 20’s now. so it’s not as busy as it used to be. Does anyone have any plans for this weekend? I’ll be working in the office today since it’s the 1st of the month. My plan is to go in early so I can finish up early and enjoy the rest of the weekend, especially since it’s supposed to be a nice one here in NJ.

For today’s card I have a class coming up on Tuesday and one of the ladies requested to make one of the cards I made a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, with having 7 or 8 ladies here it isn’t possible, so I tried to come up with an alternative. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Layers of Beauty Dies, Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #439.

I also played along with TGIF Theme Challenge #475 Happily Ever After.

I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the leaves on the image in Lost Lagoon and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the daisy centers with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut the image out using the Layers of Beauty Dies.

On a panel of Basic White, I added Petal Pink Ink using a Blending Brush in the center of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Exposed Brick 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

From a panel of Lost Lagoon, I cut the leaves out using the Layers of Beauty Dies. I adhered the large floral image to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves using Liquid Glue under the large floral image. I added a few Petal Pink Foiled Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the image using Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Lost Lagoon, Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed a panel of Basic White using the Exposed Brick 3D EF and adhered it 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.
