Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Can you believe it’s the last day of May already? Are you ready for the weekend? Is anyone starting to make plans yet?

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for today’s card.

I adhered one of the 1″ X 5 1/4″ panels, one of the 3 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panels and the 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panel of To Market DSP to coordinating Blackberry Bliss mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I trimmed the banner to the size I wanted using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped the belly band around the card base and adhered it together using Tear & Tape. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flowers, bottle and cake images from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Attentions Shoppers Dies. I colored the images using Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Attentions Shoppers Dies, I cut the shopping card out from a panel of Silver Foil. I adhered the images to the back of the shopping card using Liquid Glue. I adhered the shopping cart to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I adhered the last 2 panels of To Market DSP to Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the Petal Pink card base using Liquid Gue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiments from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the gift bag image from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the gift bag image from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of To Market DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my sneak peek of my card and will give it a try. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take it. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my YouTube Channel HERE.

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:   PKXMFP73

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 2024-2025Annual Catalog, or from the Online Exclusives!  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.
