Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s 4th? I hope you were able to enjoy the day and hopefully end it with a great display of fireworks. It was HOT and humid here in NJ. I made the mistake in the morning and went out to do a little weeding. Between the heat and humidity, I ended up feeling sick for a couple hours. I was able to finish up the last of my craft room. I need to get a couple pictures for the walls still, but I got everything where I think I will like it. I have a class tonight, so I was able to navigate around finding things to get the packets cut up.
Today’s card is the advanced version of yesterday’s, which was the last card we did at the Creativity Now event. I hope after seeing all the cards that have been going around you have this bundle on your want list from the upcoming mini catalog. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements Photopolymer Stamp Set, Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper, Striped & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.
I started by embossing a panel of Basic White using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd smallest Deckled Rectangle Dies keeping the sentiment to the right of the panel. I adhered the sentiment to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the sentiment.
On the leaf panel of Vellum Basics Paper, I colored the backside of the paper using the Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut 2 of the single leaf pieces using the Translucent Florals Dies. On the dot pattern of Vellum Basics Paper, I colored the backside using the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut 2 of the small flowers and 2 of the larger flowers using the Translucent Florals Dies. On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink 2 times. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the flowers together using a Glue Dot. I adhered the leaves to the back of the flowers using Glue Dots. I adhered the flowers to the card front using Glue Dots. I added Classic Matte Dots to the center of the flowers.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Highland heather Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set by the flower in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium Flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Highland heather Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink around the flowers.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the 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 – 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.

I’m planning on going live today on my YouTube channel at 4pm ET. I hope you can join me for today’s card.
