Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on the downhill to the weekend.
Every once in a while, I open a stamp set and I find a surprise. I apparently stamped and cut a few flowers from a set and left them in with the stamp set. When I found them, I thought I’d get a quick card made with them. A quick reminder, the colors I used, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent, are 2 of the 2021-2023 In-Colors that will be retiring in April. If these are colors that you like, now is a good time to stock up on the In-colors before they are gone. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship Cling Stamp Set along with the coordinating Flowers & Leaves Punch and the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.
I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the stemmed flower image from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the die cut panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On strips of Basic White cardstock, I stamped multiple large and small flower and leaf images from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Flowers & Leaves Punch. I adhered the flowers together using Glue Dots. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the stamped panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a Pale Papaya 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the flower center.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pale Papaya mat and a Soft Succulent mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Basic White card base. I had 1 more set of the stamped and punched flowers from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set and Flowers & Leaves Punch that I adhered over the center flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap. I colored the images in using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers.
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.
