Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. I also used all the new 2023-2025 In-Colors for my card.

These are our colors for this week

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge 308.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Copper Clay, Ivory, Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Pebbled Path cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it using White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the end using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I added 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:    BR9XGSTC

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 January-April 2023 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.
