Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. By the time you read this I will either be in the air flying to Georgia for our retreat or I will have landed. I’m so looking forward to being away for a few days with my stamping friends and team members. 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 Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Bundle along with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

I started by embossing a Winter Meadow DSP card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Moody Mauve mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From panels of Blueberry Bushel, Lost Lagon, Misty Moonlight, Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock I cut the above # of dies from the Magical Meadow Dies. I adhered the berries to the Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock die cuts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the tops of the 2 Blueberry Bushel die cuts.

I arranged the die cuts the way I wanted them on the Winter Meadow DSP card front and adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I trimmed any stems that met in the center and needed to be trimmed using Paper Snips.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Cling Stamp Set in Moody Mauve Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies. I embossed the sentiment using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the card front over the stems using Stampin’ Dimensioanls.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the images from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock Inks on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock Inks on the envelope front and 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:   BX4UV6HE

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 2023-2024 Annual 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.
