Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We made it to the halfway mark of the week and we’re on our way to the weekend. I hope you are all having a great week so far.
Yesterday when I got home from work there was a package waiting for me. It was the beautiful new Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection. I couldn’t wait to get into that box to see the new goodies and play with them. You can see everythng coming in this suite Here. Want to get your hands on it early? Ask me how. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle, the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Basics 3D Embossing Folders for my card today.

I started by embossing a Soft Sea Foam card front using 1 of the new Basics 3D Embossing Folders. I adhered the card front to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock using the Irresistible Blooms Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampn’ Dimensionals.

On panels of Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink cardstock I stamped the flower images from the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the images with my White Embossing Powder and set them using my Heat Tool. On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the images with my White Embossing Powder and set them using my Heat Tool. I cut all the images out with the Irresistible Blooms Dies. I arranged the flowers and leaves on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the edge using the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Pretty Peacock Loose Frosted Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set on the top corner in Daffodil Delight Ink and colored it using my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the large flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the flowers and colored them using my Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the flower and colored them using my Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card using the new products. Happy Stamping!!

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:
- 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.
