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. Here is my card using this week’s theme.
I used the Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Bundle along with the Patchwork Pieces Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folder and Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper for my card today.
This is our theme this week.
I started by embossing a Calypso Coral card front using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. Using the Patchwork Pieces Dies, I cut the embossed panel and 2 panels of Delightfully Eclectic DSP.
On a panel of Garden Green, I adhered the pieces to complete 1 using a different panel for each section. Doing this will give you 3 card fronts to use on 3 different cards. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the pitcher and glass images from the Stampin’ Up! So refreshing Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the pitcher and glass fill images in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the ice cute image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink inside the pitcher and glasses, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Garden Green Ink and the leaf fill image in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut the images out using the So Refreshing Dies. I stamped the lemon and lemon slice images from the So Refreshing stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on a panel of Lemon Lolly cardstock. I cut the images and the blanket out using the So Refreshing Dies. Using the So Refreshing Dies, I cut the strawberries from a scrap of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and the strawberry tops from a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock.
I adhered the strawberry tops to the strawberries using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves to the lemons using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the lemon slices in half using Paper Snips. I adhered the blanket to the card front. I adhered the pitcher, glass and lemons to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the strawberries in the pitcher and glasses using Glue Dots. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Refreshing stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. I had stamped and cut out 2 of the glass images, so I adhered one of them on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.
To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pitcher and ice cube images from So Refreshing stamp set on the envelope front in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the solid fill image in Bubble Bath Ink. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: GVEBWYZ6
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 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. 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:
- 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.
