Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s cold and windy here in NJ so my plan is to stay inside today. Last I heard there’s a snowstorm heading our way. Depending on which way the storm turns will determine if we’re getting 2″- 4″ or 8″-10″. That’s what everyone was saying at work yesterday when they were running in and picking up bags of salt, sand and snow shovels.

For my card today I went out of my comfort zone with the colors. As a lot of you know I’m not a huge fan of orange and yellow, but it worked well with the Sale-a-bration DSP. I got the design from my upline, Jaimie. It’s another super simple card showing off new products coming on Tuesday.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and the Sale-a-bration Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both of these products will be available starting Tuesday January 7th.

Adhere a panel of Bloom Impressions DSP to a Pumpkin Pie card base using Stampin’ Seal. Cut a Pumpkin Pie card front using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies and Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder.

Adhere the die cut embossed card front to the Pumpkin Pie card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Cut the butterfly body from a panel of Basic Black using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. Adhere the butterfly body to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pumpkin Pie Ink. Cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White stamp, the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink. Stamp the 2 butterfly images from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Inks, stamping off once on scrap paper for each of them on either side of the sentiment. Adhere 2 strips of Bloom Impressions DSP to either side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Daffodil Delight mat then to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. stamp the 2 butterfly images from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Inks on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Bloom Impressions DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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.

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.

Last Day to Sign up for My January-April 2025 Mini Catalog & Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 7th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the January Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $130.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $38.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $9.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ X 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ X 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ X 6″ since they’re already precut.

New Ribbon Share – $11.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping
