Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden CAS Birthday

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. We have our in person quarterly meeting today, so that means we get to stamp together. I always look forward to these meetings, since they are always so much fun.

Today’s card is the one I’ll be presenting today at our meeting. I wanted to make it a quick and easy card since we will be making 2 others with this one. We will all be using this stamp set or bundle for out cards today. Here’s my card for today.

Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Color a piece of White 1/2″ Woven Ribbon using the Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers and set aside.

Cut the larger circle from the Unbounded Love Dies from a panel of Basic Black. Adhere the sentiment to the Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a knot with the colored Woven Ribbon and adhere it to the flower stem using a Glue Dot. Add a few Two-Tone Sparkle Gems to the card front.

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

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! Simply Said Wildflower Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Our temperatures are dropping here in NJ this week. We did get a bit of snow yesterday, enough that they even came and plowed our road last night. I’m guessing the snow is going to stay for a while since it’s going to be so cold.

My card today is a pretty simple one where I let the DSP do the work for me. 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.

If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift.

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.

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.
