Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi-Fold Card

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off. I finally have a day off again. It was a long week of working every day. I’m not sure what I’m going to do first.

Today’s card is another one we made at our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. This card was designed by one of my team members Darryl Robbins. I made a couple changes from his card doing my own thing. Some of the items uses are unavailable right now but should be back in stock by mid-April. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle along with the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Sentimental Parks Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

To start, I adhered the scored & folded panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to a Petal Pink card front, adhering the folded edge to the back of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Petal Pink panel to the front of a Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut out 2 of the dotted circle dies from the Irresistible Blooms Die from panels of Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper and Vellum Paper. I sniped the circle away from the panel using my Paper Snips. I adhered the die cut pieces to the DSP card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I folded the bottom right corner of the Hello Irresistible DSP up and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Sentimental Parks Dies. I cut the sentiment mat from a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Sentiment Parks Dies. I embossed the mat using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the mat to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a piece of Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Loose Frosted Dots and a Dragonfly Trinket to the card front.

Under the DSP flap, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the splotch image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the sentiment. I adhered a die cut flower from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the Petal Pink panel using Stampin’ Seal.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock towards the right of the panel. I cut the long lines and dot die from the Irresistible Blooms Die from a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. I adhered the die cut to the Very Vanilla panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered die cut flowers from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the side of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaves from the Hello Irresistible DSP under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Hello Irresistible DSP mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Rhino Ready for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! How many of you wear green today even if you are not Irish? I’ll be at work all day and I just happen to have a work sweatshirt that’s dark green. Usually, I will only wear my emerald earrings just to say I have green on. I don’t have one bit of Irish in me, but my husband and children do. I believe we figured it out that they are 1/8 Irish, 1/4 Czechoslovakian but 5/8 Italian (that’s me). How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin’ Up Irresistible Blooms Hello

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends Happy Daylight Savings Time. Did you all remember to turn your clocks ahead last night before turning in? How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be heading up to Amy’s today for our quarterly team meeting, which I always look forward to. I enjoy spending the time with other team members and stamping with them. I’ll also be happy to get out of my town for the day. There is a huge St. Patrick’s Day parade in town and people come from all over. Our town has one of the largest parades in the state. We have fire departments, rescue squads, scouts, bag pipers, Irish dancers and clubs from all around NJ come to our town for this. I spent many years in the parade with my girl scouts, and it is just way too crowded for me.

Today’s card is another one using the Online Exclusive products. I’ve been having fun playing with the new border dies. Here’s my card for today.

  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.

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Fancy Fold

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow and Sunday is our quarterly in person meeting.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Elegant Borders Dies for my card today. All the items except for the Go To Greetings set are Online Exclusive products. These items are not and will not be in any of the catalogs, they are only available to see and purchase on the Online Store.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started with a Thick Basic White card base and cut the front of the card base using one of the Elegant Borders Dies. I cut the dotted circle die from the Irresistible Blooms Dies from a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I adhered the dotted circle to the front of the card base using small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Irresistible Blooms Dies, I cut the flowers and leaves from panels of Hello Irresistible DSP. I adhered the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Double Oval Punch. From a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I punched out the scalloped oval using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped oval using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Loose Frosted Dots using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside right of the card base I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered another die cut flower and leave from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Bloom stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow, I’m hoping it’s a little busier than it’s been. Last night I went to a fundraiser for the Meghan Rose Bradley Foundation. It’s a fundraiser for pediatric brain cancer. It was ladies’ night out, and I went with everyone from the Hungry Hound Dog Boutique where I work part time. The theme was Princesses in Pajamas. The owner decided that there were going to be too many princesses and they needed a villain. I thought I’d share a picture of all of us that went. We had such a good time and won a prize for best group dressed up, and the fundraiser was a huge success.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Bundle, Something Fancy Dies, Vellum Basics Paper and Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. It will be much easier to watch the video to see how I folded the card since it’s hard to explain.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by placing the triangle template in the top left corner of my card and very lightly drew a line with a pencil. I scored on the pencil line back and forth a couple times to give it a good score. I folded the card base back and forth then opened the card and folded the center score line as a mountain fold and the 2 triangle score lines as valley folds.

I used this triangle for my template for the DSP and card base.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I placed the triangle template on my Vellum Basic Paper in the top left corner and again lightly drew a line with a pencil. I cut along the line using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the Vellum to the Highland Heather card front. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large, detailed marigold image from the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis Ink. I stamped the large solid marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink over the detailed image. I stamped the larger stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink and the details inside the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the images out using the Marigold Moments Dies. I adhered the stem to the flowers using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower along the diagonal card top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using the White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the stems with a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and a Dragonfly Trinket.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside I cut a panel of Subtle DSP the same way that I did the Vellum, except I put the triangle template on the bottom left corner and turned it upside down. I drew a light line using my pencil and cut on the pencil line. I adhered the DSP to the top inside of the card front. For the DSP triangle I cut 1/2″ off the 2 3/4″ side. I adhered the triangle to the top inside triangle of the card base. I cut the Basic White panel the same as I did the Vellum panel. I cut 1/2″ off the 2 3/4″ side of the triangle piece and adhered it to the triangle on the card base bottom. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the smaller stem and leaf images from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink 3 times. I stamped the details on the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the small detail marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Bermuda Bay, Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the small solid marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Pool Party, Highland Heather and Blushing Bride Inks over the detailed images. I cut all the images out using the Marigold Moments Dies. I adhered the stems to the flowers using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I arranged the flowers and leaves on the small white triangle that popped up when you open the card.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the cut panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Mint Macaron Ink and the details in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the detailed flower image in Orchid Oasis Ink and the solid flower image in Highland Heather Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the envelope front and the details in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the detail flower image in Orchid Oasis Ink and the solid flower image in Highland Heather Ink. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Thanks

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Are you ready for the week? I’ve got a busy one since it’s the end of the month and beginning.

I have a quick fun fold for you today with a set that I have used before, but I don’t believe I’ve used the bundle. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Bundle along with the Amazing Thanks Dies and Fern 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding my Soft Succulent card base as listed below in the measurements. I stamped the fern image from the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Lovely Layers Vellum. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to a Soft Succulent mat. I adhered the layered panel to the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using my Amazing Thanks Dies, I cut the sentiment from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock and the bubble from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiments together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 Opal Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the 1″ panel of Soft Succulent using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the right side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Botanical Layers stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Soft Succulent Ink.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’m working tomorrow, but I do have Sunday off.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Bundle along with the Forever Flourishing Dies, Split Card Textures Dies, Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and Fancy Flora 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my easel card today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Split Card Textures Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Fancy Flora DSP to the back of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Petal Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using the Cottage Flowers Dies. Using the Cottage Flowers Dies, I cut the 2 stemmed flowers from a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock. Using the Forever Flourishing Dies I cut the large leaf die from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock, the medium leaf die from a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and the eucalyptus die from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I adhered the flower to the embossed card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaf dies under the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I scored & folded the Petal Pink card base as listed below. I adhered the Petal Pink card front mat to the bottom portion of the of the card base using Stampin’ Seal +. I adhered the card front to the mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a Dragonfly Trinket to the top of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the rose image from the Cottage Rose stamp set on the top of a Basic White panel in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Petal Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Rose stamp set below the rose in Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Soft Suede Ink and cut it out using the Lasting Label Punch. I adhered the punched-out sentiment to the bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals where I wanted the easel to stop. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the inside panel.

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

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:

  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.

Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work both days this weekend.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Cling Stamp Set and the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is the template for the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I scored, cut and folded a Basic White Thick card base as in the template above. I adhered 2 panels of Subtle DSP to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the small flower image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the larger of the flowers in the bouquet using my Blushing Bride Ink and my Water Painter filled with alcohol. I cut the image our using the Flowers of Home Dies. From a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock, I cut a few sprigs using the Flowers of Home Dies. I adhered a piece White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon to the left card front panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flower image over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs under the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside of the panel, I adhered panels of the Subtle DSP along the top and bottom. On either side, I adhered sprigs that I cut from panels of Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron cardstock using the Flowers of Home Dies. I wanted a small bumblebee, so I stamped the bumblebee images from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Cling Stamp Set in Smoky slate Ink on either side of the center pop section.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat then to the small pop up panel on the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I’m finally going for my MRI today of my shoulder. To say I’m not looking forward to it is an understatement. I DO NOT like being in that tunnel at all, but I need to know what the next step for this shoulder is. Last time I was at the Dr’s they said about a reverse shoulder replacement. We’ll see what the MRI says. Does anyone have plans for the weekend? Will anyone be watching the Super Bowl? Are you Go Team Chiefs or Go Team Eagles? I might watch the commercials and halftime show, but if I miss it, I won’t be upset. I’ll be at work tomorrow all day and Sunday we have out monthly team meeting. I’m also hoping to get in some craft time.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut all the images out using the Irresistible Blooms Dies. I cut the detailed leaves dies from a panel of Fine Shimmer Paper using the Irresistible Blooms Dies. I arranged the die cut images on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. On a strip of Evening Evergreen cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I made a banner using my Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Loose Frosted Dots (available March 1) to the card front.

On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink. I masked the image and stamped the leaf images around the flower in Evening Evergreen Ink. I colored the flower image using my Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Markers and the leaves using my Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set on the envelope front in Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia Inks. I stamped the leaf images around the flowers in Evening Evergreen Ink. I colored the flowers using my Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Markers and the leaves using my Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:    BFQ24SXS

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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:

  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.

This can be anything that Stampin’ Up! sells that could be used as an adhesive!  And for the adhesives that are $5 or under, two packs will equal one choice (see the items with the (2) on the list below) so if you select those, you’ll get double, YAY!!

The adhesive will be in addition to the normal thank you gift that I order for you!!  Plus, since your order will be over $50, you’ll earn Sale-A-Bration item(s) too.  A big double YAY for more free goodies!!

***Please note, if your order is over $150, do not apply a host code.  If you apply a host code to your order, it will take away your host benefits and we don’t want that!  But don’t worry, you’ll still be eligible for the free gift and free adhesive offer!

*With Stampin’ Up!’s new backorder policy where numbers are turned off for ordering if they go on backorder, if the adhesive that you pick is turned off for ordering when I place the order on the 16th, I’ll order Stampin’ Dimensionals for you instead.
