Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? How many of you went into a food coma after dinner? My puppy definitely did. I bought her one of the Barksgiving dinners that we make at the Hungry Hound and gave her part of it. She was out cold afterwards lol. We had a relaxing day starting off with watching the Macy’s Parade like we always do. I’ve been to NYC a couple times to watch the parade, now I enjoy watching it in the warmth of my home. I was able to get all my normal decorations packed up and put in the attic, I cleaned and moved furniture around getting ready to decorate for Christmas today. Luckily, I have off on Sunday, and I’ll be able to finish whatever I don’t get done today then. Is anyone heading out for Black Friday shopping today? Maybe taking advantage of some good deals.
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 is my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Simply Sparkling Bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Holographic Trio Specialty Paper and the Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.
The colors for my card are from Global Design Project Challenge #421.
I started by adhering the panels of Glorious Gingham DSP to Basic White mats. I adhered the layered panels to the Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Pool Party, I stamped the can image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Sparkling Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pool Party Ink. I cut the image out using the Simply Sparkling Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Versamark Ink on the can. I sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the Simply Sparkling Dies, I cut the cherries from a scrap of Poppy Parade, the lime and leaves from a panel of Lemon Lime Twist and the can top, bottom, tab and bubbles from a panel of Holographic Trio spec paper. I adhered the can top, bottom and tab to the can using Liquid Glue. I colored the leaves for the lime using Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the stems and leaves to the cherries and lime using Liquid Glue. I adhered the cherries and lime to the can using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the Small Blending Brush I added Pool Party Ink to the center of a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of the small Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the bubble to the panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the can to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs to the card front.
I adhered the small Poppy Parade to the card base using Tear & Tape. On another Basic White panel, I used the Small Blending Brush and added a little Pool Party Ink to the center. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Pool Party Ink on an angle. I stamped the cherries and lime images from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, by the sentiment. I colored the images in using Lemon Lime Twist and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the last Basic White panel, I stamped the sentiments from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bubble image from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Pool Party Ink next to the sentiments. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Basic White mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside back panel of the Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment panel to the inside back of the card base using Liquid Glue.
Toi finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cherries and lime images from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using Lemon Lime Twist and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

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:
- 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….
- 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.
