Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was your weekend? did anyone do anything fun? It was cold and damp here in NJ yesterday, so I stayed in as much as possible.

I used a little of everything for today’s card. An older bundle, a new set, Online Exclusive product and Sale-a-bration. 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! Inspiring Snapdragon Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeless Plaid 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration joining special Handmade Designs Cling Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Everyday Arches Dies for my card today.

Stamp the dragonfly images from the Stampin’ Up! Snapdragon Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink randomly around the edges of an Old Olive card base. Sprinkle the images with Clear Embossing Powder and set them using the Heat Tool. Adhere a panel of Timeless Plaid DSP to a Calypso Coral mat and a Basic Beige mat using Stampin’ Seal.

From a panel of Basic Beige, cut the 4th largest Everyday Arches Die. Trim it down using the Paper Trimmer and adhere it to the layered card front panel using Liquid Glue. Ink up the medium flower image from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set using Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Markers. Stamp the image on a panel of basic white. Ink up the 2 dragonfly images from the Inspiring Snapdragon stamp set using Soft Sea Foam and Pebbled Path Stampin’ Write Markers. Stamp the images on the panel of Basic White. Cut the images out using the Inspiring Snapdragon Dies. Adhere the flower and dragonfly images to the die cut panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Handmade Designs stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the panel of Basic White, (this set is free when you sign up to be a demonstrator and choose option 1) Fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few of the white sequins from the Sale-a-bration Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (free with a qualifying order of $60) to the card front.

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp set sentiment from the With You in Mind stamp set in Old Olive Ink. Ink up the 2 dragonfly images from the Inspiring Snapdragon stamp set using Soft Sea Foam and Pebbled Path Stampin’ Write Markers. Stamp the images by the sentiment Adhere 2 strips of Timeless Plaid DSP on either side of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Old Olive card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Ink up the small flower from the Inspiring Snapdragon stamp set using Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers. Stamp the image on the envelope front. Ink up the dragonfly images from the Inspiring Snapdragon stamp set using Soft Sea Foam and Pebbled Path Stampin’ Write Markers and stamp the images on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Timeless Plaid DSP to the envelope flap.

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.
