Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works? I’ll be at work all day today, but tomorrow is our quarterly in person meeting that I’ll be attending. Don’t forget to turn you clocks ahead before you go to bed tonight. This is my favorite time of the year, when it stays light out later, I can go for walks and not worry that it’s going to get dark while I’m walking. With it staying lighter later means the temperatures will be getting warmer, which I love.
Today’s card is a quick one featuring my favorite panel of Designer Series Paper. I am not normally a neutral person, I like color. There’s something about this panel that I just love, the beautiful artwork talks to me somehow. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora Photopolymer Stamp Set and Fancy Flora 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.
My design came from the Sunday Stamps Sketch Time Challenge #304.
I played along with Shopping Our Stash Challenge #491, Flowers, Flowers Everywhere.
I started by cutting the center of the Fancy Flora DSP card front out using the 5th largest Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered the outside Fancy Flora card front to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I adhered the center panel of the Fancy Flora card front to a Soft Suede mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a strip of Soft Suede cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I added a few Enamel Dot Essentials to the sentiment.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the large detail flower image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the large solid flower image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off twice on scrap paper, over the detailed image. I stamped the leaf image from the Two-tone Flora stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Suede mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger detail flower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I stamped the large detail flower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off twice on scrap paper, over the detailed image. I stamped the leaf image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the 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 – 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.
