Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all doing well today. Don’t forget today is the last day to earn Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards on order of $50 or more.

I played with products from the new Annual Catalog again today. When I saw this suite, I just couldn’t resist getting it. Stampin’ Up! has come out with so many DSP’s now that do all the work for you, and that’s what I did with today’s card. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Lily Pond Lane 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Spotlight On Nature Dies for my card today.

I started by adhering 2 strips of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the top and bottom of a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to a Pretty in Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added an Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the cat tail plant image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Inks. I stamped the outlined frog image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid frog image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I colored the frog’s belly and lily pad using Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cat tail plant from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Inks on the envelope front. I stamped the outline frog image in Pretty Peacock Ink and the solid frog image in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and will give it a try. 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:

1. 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….
2. 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.
