Good Monday morning stamping friends. This is the last Monday of 2024 and only 2 days left to the year!! Is anyone starting to make New Years resolutions?

I have a sneak peek for you again today of a couple sets coming on January 7th. There’s going to be a lot of new things coming on the 7th, I’m getting my list ready to go. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Mixed Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Spring Corners Photopolymer Stamp Set and Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stamp the sentiment from the Spring Corners stamp set in Basic Gray Ink in the corner of the Basic White panel. Stamp the large tulip image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Basic gray Ink on the Basic White panel.

Color the image using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Emboss the panel using the Plaster Painting EF. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat using Liquid Glue.

Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Tiny Bee Trinkets to the card front using Glue Dots.

On a Basic White panel, stamp the sentiment from the Spring Corners stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. Stamp the leaf and small flower images from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the images using Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the leaf and small flower images from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the large tulip floral image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope flap. Color the images using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

*********************************************************************************************************

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.

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.

Final Week to sign up for my January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares.  

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 7th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask?

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!
