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 Karen’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate”. We can interpret this however we want. I’m celebrating with a Birthday card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Bundle along with the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Fitting Florets DSP to a Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. From a panel of Blushing Bride Brushstroke Specialty Paper, I cut the frame using my Framed Florets Dies. I adhered the frame to the card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment using the same frame die from the Framed Florets Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the inside of the frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

From a panel of Fitting Florets DSP, I cut 2 of the flower images out using the Framed Florets Dies. I adhered the flower images to the sides of the framed using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I brushed a panel of White Glimmer paper using my Blending Brush and Soft Succulent Ink. I cut 4 of the leaf dies from the Framed Florets Dies from the panel. I adhered the leaves to the card front just under the flower image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I brushed the die cut flower images from the Fitting Florets DSP using my Clear Wink of Stella Brush. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the leaf image from the Framed Florets stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink below the sentiment. I stamped the flower images on either side of the sentiment in Blushing Bride Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat then to the inside of the blushing Bride card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower images from the Framed Florets stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image around the flowers in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered a panel of Fitting Florets DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

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:   7PTW7A3H

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 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the July – December 2022 Mini Catalog!  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.
