Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Is anyone lucky enough to have today off along with tomorrow for 4th of July? I’m going to have a really short day at work since I was in the office working on Saturday. I probably won’t have to go in on Wednesday either since the store is closed tomorrow and I won’t have any work. I worked in my craft room most of the day yesterday. It’s just about there. I’m sure I’ll be changing things around for the next month or so until I have everything just where I like it. My daughter has been resting on the sofa with her ankle elevated. She wasn’t able to help me at all with the room, which was really sad. I like when she is helping me and giving me suggestions, then when I have my classes and ask her to grab things I forgot, she knows where everything is put. Now she’ll be helping in the blind and will have to learn, LOL.
I have a quick card for you today. Last week I woke up having this dream about making a card. I ran downstairs and pulled out everything I had remembered about the card. I always seem to have these ideas come to me right before I fall asleep, while I’m at work or when I’m out and about doing things. How many of you have the same thing happen? Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Phrases For All Photopolymer Stamp Set, Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Wanted To Say Dies for my card today.
I started by adhering 3 panels of Glorious Gingham DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Using the Wanted To Say Dies, I cut the sentiment mat from a panel of Basic White and the sentiment from a panel of Blueberry Bushel. I adhered the Blueberry Bushel sentiment to the Basic Whtie mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Biggest Wish stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the 1/8″ Lemon Lime Twist ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack. I adhered the bow using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Phrases For All stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of the Glorious Gingham DSP to the top and bottom of the panel. I cut the bow from a panel of Blueberry Bushel cardstock, the package and hearts from scraps of Glorious Gingham DSP using the Wanted To Say Dies. I adhered them by the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Berry Burst mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Glorious Gingham DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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!!

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.

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.
