Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans yet for the weekend? I’ll be at work tomorrow, but I have Sunday off so I can attend our quarterly in person meeting. I always look forward to attending the meetings and getting together with team members.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Bundle (available January 5, 2023) along with the Sale-a-bration Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper (available free with a qualifying order starting January 5, 2023) for my card today. Something awesome about the new bundles coming in the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog, is that the stamp set and dies are the same name!!! If you like this bundle and purchase it, you will be able to earn the DSP for FREE. I don’t know about you, but free is my favorite price.

I started by cutting all the die cut pieces of flowers, stems and leaves using the Dainty Delight Dies from panels of Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Orchid Oasis cardstock. I adhered the stems, flowers and leaves to a panel of Dainty Flowers DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I trimmed off any excess using my Paper Snips. I adhered the panel to a small Orchid Oasis card front panel. I adhered the artwork panel to the inside back of the card base so that it overlapped the front of the card.

I adhered a panel of Dainty Flowers DSP to a Fresh Freesia mat. I adhered the layered panel to the front of an Orchid Oasis card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Cling Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis Ink. I stamped the floral images on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers in using my Fresh Freesia, Old Olive, Orchid Oasis and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue under the card front flap.

On the inside I stamped the small floral/grass image from the Dainty Delight stamp set in Old Olive Ink along the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral images from the Dainty Delight stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the panel. I colored the floral images in using my Fresh Freesia, Old Olive, Orchid Oasis and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral images from the Dainty Delight stamp set on the envelope front and colored the flowers in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Dainty Flowers DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   7PTW7A3H

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 July – December 2022 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! 

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 (excluding cardstock) 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:

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.
