Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans for the weekend in the works yet? I’ll be working all day today. It’s the slow time of the year unless there’s a snowstorm or other bad weather, so it’ll be an easy day.

Today’s card I played with a new set from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog. It comes as a bundle, but I only used the stamp set today. 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! Memorable Blooms Cling Stamp Set along with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #661

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color challenge #454.

Stamp the small flower image from the Memorable Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the leaf image from the Memorable Blooms stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on another panel of Basic White. Color the images using Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the sentiment from the Memorable Blooms stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Basic Black. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the 2 Basic White panels and the Basic Black sentiment panel to Lemon Lime Twist mats using Stampin’ Seal.

Wrap a piece of White 1/2″ Woven Ribbon around a panel of Lemon Lime Twist and adhere it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the matted ribbon to an Unbounded Beauty DSP card front using Liquid Glue. Adhere the card front to a Lemon Lime Twist mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Adhere the 3 layered panels to the card front using Liquid Glue. Add a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Memorable Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the leaf image from the Memorable Blooms stamp set in shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom of the panel and stamp the flower image in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the leaf image. Color the images using Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the top of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the leaf image from the Memorable Blooms stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front and the flower image in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the images using Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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.
