Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Summer”. We can interpret this however we want. 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! Beach Day Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Under the Moon Photopolymer Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies and So Swirly Embossing Folder for my book fold card today.

I started by adhering the binder end of the card base together on the inside using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, using my Blending Brushes, I added Azure Afternoon Ink to the top of the panel and Coastal Cabana Ink to the bottom section. I stamped the water image from the Under the Moon stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink over the brushed area. I stamped the dolphin images from the Under the Moon stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I stamped the cloud image from Under the Moon stamp set over the brushed Azure Afternoon portion in VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the sand image from the Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Beige Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I tore the top of the panel and adhered it below the water image on the Basic Whtie panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the umbrella, chair and ball images from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I colored the images using Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Highland Heather, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Poppy Parade and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sandcastle image from the Beach Day stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I cut the images out using the Beach Day Dies. I cut the palms and grass from a panel of Granny Apple Green and the tree trunk from a panel of Crumb Cake using the Beach Day Dies.

I cut the center of a Lost Lagoon card front using the Deckled Circles Dies. I cut a panel of Basic Beige using the Deckled Circles Dies. I embossed the 2 Lost Lagoon card front panels using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the Basic Beige circle to the back of the Lost Lagoon card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Lost Lagoon card front to the Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the embossed side panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered all the die cut pieces to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the panel of Basic White and fussy cut it using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sand image from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Beige Ink along the bottom of the panel. I stamped the umbrella and chair images from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat the n to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand image from the Beach Day stamp set along the bottom front of the envelope in Basic Beige Ink. I stamped the sandcastle in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the umbrella, chair and beachball images from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom envelope front. I colored the images the same as I did for the card. I embossed a panel of Lost Lagoon using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   PKXMFP73

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 2024-2025Annual 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.
