Good Monday morning stamping friends. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Did anyone do anything special? We had our quarterly team meeting, enjoyed the time with team members chatting and stamping together. Oh, and the cards we made are super cute. I’ll be sharing them over the next week.
Today’s card was the first one we made designed by one of my team members from PA, Akiko Sudano. This one is a neutral baby card and I just love it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Bundle, Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Nested Essentials Dies and Basic 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Daffodil Delight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the lion, stars and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Little Dreamers Dies and the smallest rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies for the sentiment. Using the Little Dreamers Dies, I cut 2 clouds from the same panel.

I cut a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock I cut the banner die using the Nested Essentials Dies. I embossed the banner using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the banner to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment on the banner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the lion image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the clouds and stars to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small knot using the 3/8″ Garden Green Ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack. I adhered the knot below the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Daffodil Delight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the baby lion image from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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.

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.
