Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but I do have off Sunday and it’s our team meeting day. I’ll be working all day today too. They changed my schedule and have had me working Thursday and Fridays now. I used to always have off on Tuesdays and Fridays, those were my cays to get caught up with my stamping and blogging.
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! Poetic Expressions Suite for my card today. The suite includes the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Bundle, Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper and the Champagne Iridescent Dots.
My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #775.
I started by adhering 2 panels of Poetic Expressions DSP to Bubble Bath mats using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the front and left inside of the Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the larger floral and the small, tall floral images from the Stampin’ Up! thoughtful Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Bubble Bath, Highland Heather and Parakeet party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I cut a panel of Bubble Bath and Vellum Paper using the largest circular die from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I cut the leave dies from a panel of Parakeet Party using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I adhered the Vellum die cut to the Bubble Bath die cut using Stampin’ Seal where the flowers were going to go. I adhered the larger floral image to the layered die cut panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the smaller floral die cut and the leaves under the larger floral image using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered die cut panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left side of the panel.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the die cut panel using Glue Dots. I added Champagne Iridescent Dots to the artwork panel using Liquid Glue.
On the inside, I adhered a panel of Poetic Expressions DSP to the right side of the Bubble Bath mat. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. I stamped the smaller, tall floral image from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Highland Heather and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the left side of the Bubble Bath mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger floral image from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Bubble Bath and Parakeet Party Stampin Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Poetic Expressions 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.
