Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Yesterday I played catch up. I got laundry done, cards made, gardening started and had time for a couple walks and played with the puppy for a while. It was a warm one here yesterday and it’s supposed to be even warmer here today in NJ. I love the warmer weather.
Today I have one of the quickest wedding cards I’ve ever made. I played with some retiring products and Online Exclusives. The retiring products you only have until tomorrow night to grab them while you can. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sweetly Scripted Cling Stamp Set and Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes (which will retire tomorrow) for my card today. The Heartfelt Hexagon set and punch will be carrying over to the new catalog, but tomorrow is the last day to get 10% off with the bundle price.
I started by cutting one of the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards to make a card front. I wrapped a piece of the Very Vanilla and Gold 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon (retiring tomorrow) around the card front and tying a bow.
I adhered the card front to a Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the frame and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Photopolymer Stam Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gem to the sentiment.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above the 1st sentiment. I stamped the small flourish on the top of the panel from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.
I stamped the small flourish from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set on the center top front of the envelope.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and will give it a try. Don’t forget tomorrow is the last day to get these Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes. Happy Stamping!!

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions.
MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: 6C44QBJA
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.
