Stampin’ Up! Everyday Arches Otter

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? Tara and I had our 1st Online Zoom class, and we had a lot of fun. We had a few hiccups, but we got through them, and I believe it was a success. We’re already planning our next one at the end of March.

Today’s card I played with some Online Exclusive products. 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.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Arches Otter 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Everyday Arches Photopolymer Stamp Set and Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper along with the Perennial Postage Dies for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #670.

*********************************************************************************************************

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.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing Panels

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. I have one of my least favorite appointments today. I have to go once a year to a retina specialist. 27 years ago, at a regular eye appointment, my Dr found that I had detached retinas in both eyes. I had gone partially blind and didn’t even know it. I had to have surgery to have them repaired, and this was before laser surgery was a thing. They were able to repair the tears but not my blindness. I am so grateful that he found it or I would have gone completely blind. So, every year I have to go to make sure everything is still intact.

Today’s the day you can finally order the new Online Exclusive products, YAY!!! Today’s card uses some of the Online Exclusive products. I’m loving this new DSP. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful week. We stayed until Magic Kingdom closed on Wednesday and had such a great time going on rides, walking around, eating some great food and of course seeing the fabulous firework show. Yesterday we spent the whole day at Epcot. The wine and food festival is going on, so we tried some great food. I was able to get my caramel apple from Germany that’s made with Werther’s Caramels. I’ve waited 4 1/2 years to get another one of these apples. After having one here, I don’t want any others. One of my husband’s co-workers happen to be here in Disney and we met up with him and his wife for a delicious dinner in Canada, at Le Cellier Steakhouse. Today we’re off to Universal Studios. This will be the 1st time we’ve ever gone there, so I can’t wait to see what’s there.

Today’s card is one that we made at our monthly stamping studio last Tuesday for our mystery stamping portion of the meeting. Jaimie sent us all the measurements and talked us through the process of putting the card together. I decided I wanted to use some of the new Online Exclusive products that will be available starting November 5th. If you are interested in getting these products early, let me know, I’d be happy to talk to you about signing up to be a demonstrator and you can add them to your starter kit. Here’s my card for today.

Adhere the circle sentiment to the Pretty Peacock circle mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the greenery to the back of the Pretty Peacock circle using Glue Dots. Adhere the 2nd circle to the back of the layered sentiment using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered circle to the right card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
