Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus Thanks

Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend!!! HAPPY FEBRUARY!! Does anyone have any plans in the works yet for the weekend? It’s the 1st, so I’ll be in the office doing my bills and getting them in the mail.

I played with an Online Exclusive bundle and Sale-a-bration DSP for today’s card. This is one of my absolute favorite flowers. I have them all around my yard during the summer and the blooming is unbelievable. Here’s my card for today.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies in Yellow

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.
