Good Sunday afternoon stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend. It’s been a rainy cool one here in NJ. I’m a bit on the later side today, time just got away from me this morning. I got up and said I was going to get my blog posted right away. Then I decided to make everyone French toast for breakfast. “Ok, now I’m going to go do my blog”, well, next thing I knew I was making spaghetti sauce for today so we could make skillet lasagna for dinner. When I was done with that, I looked away and went right to my computer. Time just goes so fast sometimes.
I have a quick card for you today using some sets from the mini catalog and Online Exclusives DSP. 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! Gift Of Giving Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Joy To You Cling Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies and Online Exclusive Shining Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.
I started by stamping the cup image from the Gift Of Giving stamp set on a panel of Basic White. I colored the image in using Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 6th from the smallest Deckled Circles Dies.
I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ Iridescent Ribbon around a Shining Christmas DSP card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the 7th from the smallest Deckled Circles Dies, I cut a panel of Cherry Cobbler. I adhered the die cut artwork to the Cherry Cobbler circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the left side of the layered circles using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the layered circles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, lining up the straight edge with the card front panel. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Joy To You stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Shining Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the mistletoe image from the Gift Of Giving stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Baisc White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the mistletoe image from the Gift Of Giving stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image with Cherry Cobbler an dMossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Shining Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I ho9pe you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: P6UQN4GZ
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! 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.
