Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #214 is Valentine Fun. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Photopolymer Stamp Set, Country Lace Designer Series Paper and Memorable Blooms Dies for my Clean and Simple card today. I was inspired by the flowers and books in the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 214.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Adhere a panel of Country Lace DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic Beige stamp the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Mask the images and stamp the large flower image from the Poised Peony stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Color the images using Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Memorable Blooms Dies. Adhere the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Poised Peony stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Petal Pink Foiled Gems and Adhesive-Backed Heart Sequins to the card front. I added a tiny heart to the book binding.

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Poised Peony stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Stamp the medium flower image from the Poised Peony stamp set on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the book image from Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Pecan Pie. Color the images using Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

To complete the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the medium flower image from the Poised Peony stamp set and book from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. Color the images using Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Petal Pink and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Country Lace DSP to the envelope flap.

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.
