Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature Cling Stamp Set and Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper for my card today.
Our theme is Love for this week.
I started by randomly stamping the net image from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Gray Granite. I adhered 3 panels of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the top of the panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the bottom of the panel using Liquid Glue.
I wrapped a piece of 3/8″Pebbled Path Textured Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered card front to a Pebbled Path card base using Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the vanilla image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I colored the inside of the flower using Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on another panel of Basic White. I cut the image and sentiment out using the Lovely & Sweet Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front, just under the ribbon, using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the die cut vanilla image on top of the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Notes of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the vanilla image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off two times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat then to the inside of the Pebbled path card base.
To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the vanilla image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness 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:
- 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.
