Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Ann Louise’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Birthday”. We can interpret this however we want. A friend of ours, daughter’s 3rd birthday is coming up and this set seemed perfect for her card. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Filled With Fun Bundle (available March 5) along with the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Cling Stamp Set and Hot Air Balloon Dies for my card today.
I started by adhering a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to a Basic White thick card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered another strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the bottom of the card front using Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the wagon image from the Stampin’ Up! Filled With Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I stamped the wagon handle image in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the present/cake image and wheel images from the Filled With Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the balloon image from the Filled With Fun stamp set in Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Pool Party Inks. I cut all the images out using the Filled With Fun Dies. I colored the present/cake image using Berry Bursh, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the wheel centers from a panel of Holographic Trio Paper using the Filled With Fun Dies. I brushed the balloon die cuts with Clear Wink of Stella Brush to give them a little shimmer.
I adhered the wheel centers to the wheels using Glue Dots then to the wagon using Liquid Glue. I adhered the handle to the wagon using a Glue Dot. I adhered the wagon to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the strings to the balloons using Glue dots. I adhered the balloons to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the presents/cake image on top of the balloon strings just behind the wagon using Liquid Glue. Using the Hot Air Balloon Dies, I cut the clouds from a panel of Basic White. I adhered the clouds to the card front using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Filled With Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the wagon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Zany Zoo stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the flag banner image from the Filled With Fun stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.
To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the balloon and string images from the Filled With Fun stamp set in Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Pool Party Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the envelope flap.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: T9JKA3XQ
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 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives! 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 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.
