Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Mary’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Giving Thanks”. We can interpret this however we want. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance DSP, Nested Essentials Dies, Countryside Corners Dies, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Countryside Corners Dies for my card today.
I started by adhering a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a panel of Basic White using the Nested Essentials Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Exposed Brick 3D EF. I adhered the embossed die cut to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. From a panel of Granny Apple Green, I cut the leaf dies using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. I adhered the floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the floral image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Countryside Corners Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the bottom of the floral image using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a pane of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.
To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

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: WRAGYZRS
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:
- 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.
