Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be at work all day today. I had yesterday off and I did some reorganizing of my craft area. Time to weed out the old and make room for the new. I pulled retiring stamp sets, dies, embossing folders and embellishments from my stash. It’s looking kind of empty now. Not for long though, Friday we get to place our preorder YAY!!!
Today’s card I made just because I wanted to. I had no reason and for no one specific. I just like to have encouragement cards on hand for when I need them. I actually used a color that I don’t use all that often since it’s not one of my favorites. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.
My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #685.
I joined in with the Global Design Projects Theme Challenge #335.
My design is from Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #649.
I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Fields DSP to a Pumpkin Pie card base. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Soft Succulent mat and adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the rain boots image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink. I stamped the tulips in Pumpkin Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper on the Basic White panel. I stamped the flower stems from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I cut all the images out using my Rain Boots Dies. I adhered the stems to the boots using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the boots and stems to the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tulips on top of the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I cut a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock using the lattice die from the Rain Boots Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the lattice using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials to the card front to look like raindrops.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stems on the bottom of the panel in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the tulips on the stems in Pumpkin Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stems from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the tulips from the Flowering Rain Boots on the stems in Pumpkin Pie Ink. I adhered a panel of Flowering Fields DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! New Shipping Fees Beginning April 1
I want to let you know about a change to Stampin’ Up!’s shipping and handling pricing. Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater.
If you ever use the expedited shipping options, those fees are going up a bit too. Here are the new fees for expedited shipping:
- Next Day Upgrade: $38.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
- 2nd Day Upgrade: $23.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
- 3 Day Shipping Upgrade: $15.00 USD ($5.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
- The expedited shipping option rates above are calculated in addition to the standard shipping rate (e.g., the next day shipping option would cost $7.95 USD or 11%—whichever is greater—plus $38.00 USD)
I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me. Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so they can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated paper crafting products that you love.
