Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are ready for a long weekend. I’ll be at work, but I do have off on Monday and we’re planning on having a picnic/birthday all day. Today is my daughter’s birthday and every year we celebrate on Memorial Day. This year she has to share her celebration with Coraline, my puppy. Coraline turned 1 today.
Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. I was a little bit of a hot mess, but I made it through. It just wasn’t my day for a live starting with having technical difficulties. 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.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set along with the Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today.
I started by cutting the 3″ X 5 1/4″ panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the largest Nested Essentials Dies. I folded the panel on the 1″ score line, placed the die above the fold line so that it wouldn’t cut the fold and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the die cut panel to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, so that it would fold over the Z-Fold.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink 3 time, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel each time. I stamped the flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set over the leaf images. I inked the flower image using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Marker for the stem and leaves, Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Marker for the flowers and I used Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers for highlights on the flowers. I gave it a couple huffs to reactivate the ink before stamping. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small bow with the1/4″ Petal Pink Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a couple Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the top of the panel.
I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 2nd largest die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on either side of the sentiment. I used Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers for the stems and Calypso Coral & Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Markers for the flowers. I adhered the sentiment panel to the Petal Pink flap using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the panel.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I inked it using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside left side of the Petal Pink card base. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanical DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the inside back of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink twice on the envelope front, stamping off twice on scrap paper each time. I stamped the flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set over the leaf images. I inked the flower using Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

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.
