Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy Halloween!!! I hope you all had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend. It’s the end of the month so most of you know where I’ll be and it’s not in my card studio.

Today’s card it the one I made live yesterday on my YouTube channel. If you were able to hop on to watch, thank you!! If you weren’t and would like to watch my video you can see it Here. The measurements are below so that you can watch and stamp along with me. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Kisses Bundle along with the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper, Traditional Labels Dies, Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set, Gold Foil Sheets and Vellum Specialty Paper (available Nov 4th) for my card today.

Adhere the panel of Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to the Gold Foil Mat. Adhere the layered panel to the front of the Secret Sea card base.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Kisses Photopolymer Stamp Set in Secret Sea Ink on the panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Traditional Labels Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Faceted Snowflakes to the card front.

Score the smaller panel of Secret Sea as listed below. Using the Snowflake Kisses Dies, cut snowflakes out on either side of the center score line (but not over the top of it).

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 2 smaller panels of the Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to the inside center of the Secret Sea card base. Add Tear & Tape to the 1/2″ sides of the die cut panel. Adhere the 2 Vellum panels to the back of the die cut panel. Fold the die cut panel in half with the tear & tape folded out and place it 1/4″ from the outside edge of the Secret Sea card base. Remove the strip of the Tear & Tape and fold the card base over the die cut panel. Flip the card base over and do the same to the other side.

Stamp the sentiments from the Snowflake Kisses stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the 2 panels on Basic White. Stamp the small snowflake image from the Delicate Pines stamp set on the panel in Secret Sea Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Die cut one of the panels in the corner using the smallest collage of snowflakes dies from the Snowflake Kisses Dies. On the other panel, add the small snowflakes that were cut from the center panel to the corners. Adhere the Basic White panels to the inside of the Secret Sea card base on either side of the mechanism. A tealight will fit inside to make the snowflakes glow.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Expressions Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Score & fold a Night of Navy card base at 5 1/2″ & 8 3/4″. On the 4 1/4″ edge of the small, scored section make a little mark in the center at 2 1/8″. Cut from the 2 1/8″ mark to the score line going up and down to make the triangle. Fold the card base in half at the 5 1/2″ score line and fold it back at the 8 3/4″ score line to make a ‘Z’ fold card. Adhere a 3″ X 3″ panel of Night of Navy on the front section over the triangle so it’s a diamond.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Expressions Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to a Moody Mauve mat using Stampin Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the front of the Night of Navy card base, under the triangle, using Liquid Glue.

Adhere the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat, then to the Night of Navy diamond on the card front. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Autumn Expressions stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. Fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the center of the stamped Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Autumn Expressions Dies, cut the leaf dies from panels of Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow. Adhere a Woven Golden Leaf (available Sept 4th) and 1 of each of the die cut leaves under each side of the sentiment using Glue Dots. Tie a small bow using the Wild Wheat Rustic Stripped 3/8″ Ribbon (available Sept 4th). Adhere the bow to the bottom of the diamond under the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

Stampin’ Up! Sophisticate Sled for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Did everyone have a nice 4th? It was a very relaxing day here at our house. My niece came over in the morning with her dog and we went out walking for a few miles with the dogs. By the time we got home they were both hot and exhausted. Here’s a picture of what Coraline did after her walk. Smart pup, laid down right in front of the fan.

A few of my husband’s friends came over in the afternoon and we barbequed hamburgers and wings. I was even able to get a little crafting time in for myself. All was good here until the fireworks started going off all around out area. Coraline does not do well with them at all. I even gave her a calming treat, which only helped for a short time. She was a very nervous puppy. Gidget on the other hand had no clue what was going on.

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’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Bundle along with the Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Misty Moonlight panel and scored the Basic White panel. I carefully folded the card base in half on the score lines. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the scored panel of Moody Mauve using Liquid Gue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Moody Mauve panel and scored the DSP panel. I carefully folded the panel in half on the score lines. I folded the 2 sides back on the side score lines and adhered it to the card base, lining up the center score line on the layered panel with the score line on the card base, using Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Take the 2 1″ X 1″ scored pieces and fold them in half. Adhere them to the DSP lining up the folded edged with the score line of the DSP using Tear & Tape. Cut the Misty Moonlight panel using the 3rd largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Emboss the circle using the Snowflake Sky EF. Adhere the die cut circle to the 2 folded pieces using Tear & Tape. Using the Sophisticated Sled Dies, cut the skates from a panel of Basic White, laces from a panel of Moody Mauve and the blades from a panel of Silver Foil paper. Adhere the blades to the bottom of the skates using Liquid Glue. Insert the laces to the skates and add a couple Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to hold them in place. Adhered a piece of 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim to the back of the skates using Glue Dots. Tie a bow with another piece on the top. Adhere the skates to the embossed circle. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the Basic White panel. Fold the ends on the score lines. Using a Bone Folder, curve the back of the layered panel. Adhered the layered panel to the bottom of the card base using Tear & Tape.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Here is a top view of how it should look.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, stamp the sentiment from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Misty Moonlight Ink. Stamp the skates’ image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on the other panel of Basic White in Pebbled Path Ink. Color the image using Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the snowflake image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the image and sentiment. Adhered the Basic White panels to Moody Mauve mat then to the back of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the skates’ image form the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Pebbled path Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate Stampin Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Can you believe it’s the last day of May already? Are you ready for the weekend? Is anyone starting to make plans yet?

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’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for today’s card.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered one of the 1″ X 5 1/4″ panels, one of the 3 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panels and the 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panel of To Market DSP to coordinating Blackberry Bliss mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I trimmed the banner to the size I wanted using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped the belly band around the card base and adhered it together using Tear & Tape. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flowers, bottle and cake images from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Attentions Shoppers Dies. I colored the images using Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Attentions Shoppers Dies, I cut the shopping card out from a panel of Silver Foil. I adhered the images to the back of the shopping card using Liquid Glue. I adhered the shopping cart to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I adhered the last 2 panels of To Market DSP to Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the Petal Pink card base using Liquid Gue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiments from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the gift bag image from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the gift bag image from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of To Market DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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! Thoughtful Wishes for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? Does anyone have plans for Easter Sunday yet?

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. 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’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Bundle and Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both items will be available starting May 1st. If you’d like to get this beautiful DSP and awesome bundle early, you can add it to a starter kit starting on April 2nd. Contact me and I’ll tell you how.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the 4 smaller panels of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the 4 Petunia Pop mats (available May 1st) using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4 layered panels to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the longer panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the longer Petunia Pop mat then to a panel of Pool Party using Liquid Glue and set it aside. 

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink along the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the leaf image. On a small panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the Basic White panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the center of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Journey stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I colored the image using the Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut the image out using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. From panels of Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop, I cut the stand along flower die from the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. I snipped the flowers off the Petunia Pop die using Paper Snips and adhered them to the Lost Lagoon die using Liquid Glue. Using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies, I cut the branch die from a panel of Wild Wheat. I adhered the 3 die cut pieces to the right side of the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered bridge panel to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue only on the ends.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set by added ink to the stamp using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Write Markers. I huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamped it on the side of the Basic White panel. I colored the leaves in using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the thistle image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the back of the Pool Party card base. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes in Pool Party Ink on the back panels of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope front in Pebbled Path Ink. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope flap, inking the stamp the same as I did for the card back. I stamped the splotch image around the flowers and leaves in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper.

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! Country Birdhouse for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am. It has taken me all week to get back to my ‘normal’ routine. I think the plane flight last week really threw me off. I have been suffering with migraines all week.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. 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’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the brand new Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Country Wood Designer Series Paper and Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. These products will be available to purchase starting on May 1st. If you’d like to get your hands on them early, you can join as a demonstrator and put them in your starter kit starting on April 2nd. I also used the Designer Tags Dies, Deckled Circles Dies and Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting all the parts out for the birdhouse using the Country Birdhouse Dies and Country Wood DSP, Basic Beigh, Misty Moonlight and Poo Party cardstock.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed 2 Misty Moonlight card front panels using the new Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panels to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I put the pieces of the birdhouse together using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Country Wood DSP to a Basic Beige mat that I cut using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the birdhouse to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front panel to the left side of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink 5 times. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Designer Tags Dies. I tied a bow using Linen Thread to the tag. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin Dimensionals. I added a Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearl (available May 1) to the sentiment flower center.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the bird and flower images from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whit panel to a Basic Beige mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy March!!! Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? Last night I went to a fund raiser with all the ladies I work with from the Hungry Hound Dog Bakery. It’s a lady’s night out and we’ve gone the past few years, it’s for Pediatric Brain Cancer. It’s a silent auction and there’s always a theme. Last night’s theme was Boots and Bling. We all wore different color blingy Cowboy hats that lit up. We laughed and had such a good time. The fund raiser was a huge success too. Here’s a picture of our group that won for the best group category.

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’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle along with the Online Exclusive Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper for my card today. This suite will be available starting in March.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Liquid Glue only on the bottom half of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the smaller panel of Flowering Zinnias to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card base together using Liquid Glue on the 1 1/4″ section to make a binder look. I adhered the layered panel to the 1 1/4″ section of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large zinnia image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using my Banner Pick A Punch, I cut both ends. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adfhesive-Back Shining Sequins (available March 5) to the card front.

For the inside, I adhered a Basic White panel to a Mango Melody mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base. I stamped the smaller zinnia and the leaf images from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the images out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the images using Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the zinnia to the bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flower using Glue Dots. I added 1 of the Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the center of the zinnia.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large zinnia image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   AHZBFDC4

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, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  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!

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.
