Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? When you read this post, will have been in my kitchen baking for a couple hours already. I got all my cookie doughs mixed and put in the fridge yesterday, today and tomorrow are my baking days.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty Bundle along with the new Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Bundle and Sale-A-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today. All these items will be available starting January 4 from the January – April 2024 Mini Catalog.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #773.

I also joined in with the Flower Challenge #87.

I started by adhering panels of Flight & Airy DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink.

Using the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, I placed #1 mask over the floral image and added Gorgeous Grape Ink using my Blending Brush. I placed #2 mask over the image and added Soft Sea Foam Ink using my Blending Brush. I placed #4 mask over the image and added Gorgeous Grape Ink again using my Blending Brush to highlight the flower. Last I placed #4 mask over the image and added Soft Sea Foam Ink again using my Blending Brush to highlight the leaves. I cut the image out using the Enduring Beauty Dies. From a panel of Soft Sea Foam, I cut some of the leaves and flowers using the Enduring Beauty Dies.

I cut a panel of Basic White using the 2nd largest Perennial Postage Dies. I added some Boho Blue Ink to the die cut panel using my Blending Brush. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set in Boho Blue Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the panel to the card base using Liquid Glue only on the left side. I added the colored floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the die cut leaves and flowers behind the floral image. I added a few Brushed Brash Butterflies and Festive Pearls to the card front.

On the inside, I cut another panel of Basic White using the 2nd largest Perennial Postage Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Boho Blue on the die cut panel. I stamped just the top of the flower image from the Enduring Beauty stamp set in Basic Gray on the bottom of the panel. I lined up the Basic White panel to the back of the card front panel and closed the back onto it to make sure they lined up and you couldn’t see it when the card was closed.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the top of the large flower image from the Enduring Beauty stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. Using the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, I colored the image the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and this bundle is on your wish list for the January – April 2024 Mini Catalog. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my YouTube Channel Here.

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:   SMAQYYMJ

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 2023-2024 Annual 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.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 15th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

• Bee Mine – 6
• Forever Love – 6
• Just Kiddin’ -6
• Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
• Nature’s Sweetest – 6
• Perennial Lavender – 6
• Poetic Expressions – 6
• Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons or Baker’s Twine.

• 1/4″ Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon
• 3/8″ Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon
• Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack
• 1/8″ Gold Faux Leather Trim

Double Ribbon Share – $20 + $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon and baker’s twine.
