Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week. We arrived in NC yesterday morning and the events started late afternoon. It’s going to be a busy 3 days. I will try to answer my emails as quickly as possible, but I may not always be able to check. I will be sharing what I can with you also as soon as I can.

This is some of the Swag we received yesterday at check in. There’s a tote with many pockets inside, a Notebook, Pen and some Trading Pins.

I can only show you the cover, but here’s the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog filled with lots of new products. If you are a scrapbooker, there’s a lot of new products for you. I’ll be ordering my catalogs when I get home. If you are a customer of mine and ordered in the last year, you are on my list to send one to you. If you are not yet, and would like to be, you just need to place an order with me through my Online Store and you’ll be on the list.

Today’s card is one that we made at our meeting last Sunday. This card was created b Tara Carpenter. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Thankful Garden Bundle, Stampin’ Up! It’s Okay Cling Stamp Set and Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Lovely Garden DSP to a Granny Apple Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the front of the Daffodil Delight card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Daffodil Delight and Garden Green Watercolor Pencils. Use a Blender Pen to blend the pencil lines. Using the Thankful Garden Dies, cut the flower image and the leaf dies from a panel of Granny Apple Green. Adhere the leaves to the card front using Glue Dots. Adhere the flower to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the It’s Okay stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere the sentiment to a Granny Apple Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Iridescent Pearls to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from It’s Okay stamp set in Garden Green Ink. Stamp the flower image from Thankful Garden stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the Basic White panel. Adhere a panel of Lovely Garden DSP to the right side of a Granny Apple Green mat. Adhere the Basic White panel to the left side of the mat. Adhere the layered panel to the inside of the Daffodil Delight card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the flower image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Lovely Garden 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!!

Tara and I are teaming up to do a Masculine Online Zoom Class on Sunday April 27th featuring the Stampin’ Up! Framed Scenes Bundle. I always seem to struggle with masculine cards, and I know a lot of others do too. We will be making 6 different cards featuring the bundle which is pictured below. I will be adding graphics in the next couple days once we are both done designing the cards.

The class will be held on Zoom on Sunday April 27th from 1pm – 5pm ET.

The class fee includes:

• 6 complete Pre-Cut card kits with envelopes so they are ready to mail when you’re done.
• Full pack of Natural Matte Dots
• Full pack of Linen Thread
• Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
• PDF with detailed directions and photos
• A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

When you sign up for the class, you will see that you can add additional items needed to make the cards in the class if you do not already have them. These items are optional to add on, but we will be using the items to create the cards. We are offering the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Framed Scenes Bundle at an additional 10% discount when you order it through me during sign up.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: $35.00 + $9.00 priority shipping (additional products will be added to the cost for the products) and invoices will be sent out by March 27th.
