Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I can’t believe we’re in the middle of the month already. I hope you are ready for the weekend. I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but I do have off on Sunday. Is anyone making plans for Father’s Day?

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. It was my first time, so I still have a bit of learning to do. 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 link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding the Misty Moonlight card base as listed below in the measurements. I adhered 3 panels of Earthen Elegance DSP to 3 Copper Clay mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3 layered panel to the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Lqiud Glue.

I adhered the small card base to the large card base using Stampin’ Seal +. On panels of Earthen Elegance DSP, I stamped the 2 vase images from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight and Moody Mauve Inks. I cut the vases out using the Earthen Textures Dies. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the image out using the Earthen Textures Dies. Using the Earthen Textures Dies, I cut panels of Pretty Peacock, Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat. I adhered the vases to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the die cut pieces in the vases using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment form the Earthen Textures stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front and a 2023-2025 In-Color Dot to the center of the fan die.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whit panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the vase image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the plume image in Moody Mauve Ink and the branch image in Copper Clay Ink. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. 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.

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.

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

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.
