Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Have you made any fun plans for the weekend. I’m still baking and will be through the weekend.
Before I get to my card I’m starting an online Host Club for January, February and March. I’m doing it during Sale-A-Bration. Everyone loves to get free items, why not be the host for a month and get extra free items. Are you interested in building your Stampin’ Up supplies a little at a time and want to be able to receive host benefits? An Online Host Club might be the perfect solution for you! With the new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs starting on January 3, this is a great time to join!
You sign up for a 3 month term and commit to:
- A $50.00 minimum order each month (which will get you a free Sale-A-Bration item)
- Place your order by the 20th of each month
- Using the Host code for each month provided to you in an email sent out at the beginning of each month
Once 3 members have joined a random draw will determine your host month and you are guaranteed:
- a $150.00 Workshop order during your host month
- $15.00 minimum of Host Dollars to spend on the exclusive Host Stamp Sets, or any other current Stampin’ Up! product during your host month
- At the end of the 3 months you will get a gift from me.
If you are interested in joining, please contact me ASAP. This is a great way to earn some free products and build your Stampin’ Up supplies.
Now for my card today I used the Stampin’ Up Birthday Statements stamp set along with a few other items that will be available January 3, 2019. Take a look.

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the Birthday Statements in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored it in using my Balmy Blue (available January 3, 2019), Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Mango Melody, Mossy Meadow (available January 3, 2019), Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Snail.

On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped Happy from the Birthday Statements stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and using my Big Shot I cut it out with one of the Bunch Of Banners Framelits. I adhered it to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple Share What You Love Artisan Pearls to the banner. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Balmy Blue Organdy Ribbon, (available FREE with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration), around the Flirty Flamingo and tied a bow.

I adhered a piece of Balmy Blue Gingham Gala 6X6 Designer Series Paper (available January 3, 2019), to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside Whisper White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Snail then adhered it to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.


To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope by adhering pieces of the Gingham Gala 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope front and flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. Most of the items used today will be available January 3, 2019. They are either in the new Occasions Catalog or the Sale-A-Bration Catalog.

Product List



































































I started with a Merry Merlot card base. I cut the front leaving 2 1/2″ from the center score line. I then cut the remaining piece to 1 1/2″. I stamped the top with the Cheer sentiment from Merry Christmas To All stamp set in Versamark Ink and sprinkled it immediately with my Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I heat set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the Holiday out from the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies using my Big Shot from a piece of Copper Foil Sheet and adhered it above the Cheer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Merry Christmas To All Bundle is available at a 10% discount only until January 2, 2019. After that the stamp set and Thinlits Dies will be available separately at the non-discounted price. If you were thinking about getting this set, now would be the perfect time when you can save an extra 10%.

I added a few Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels onto the card front.
On the inside on a Very Vanilla panel I stamped the tree from the Timeless Tidings stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink stamping off 3 times, across the center. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set over the trees in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the panel to the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
