Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. does anyone have plans for the weekend? It’s supposed to be rainy and chilly today here in NJ and warm up to the 60’s Sunday. I’ll be at work all day today and maybe my daughter and I will watch a movie tonight since my husband is away for a gaming weekend with his friends.

I have a quick Christmas card for you today. I’ve seen this card made using gold and I thought I’d make it with silver to be different. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Bundle along with the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper and Online Exclusives Silver Foil Specialty Paper and Silver & Gold Adhesive Back Glimmer Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of O Holy Night DSP to a Basic White Mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Basic White. I sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Stars At Night Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Stars At Night Dies and Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder I cut the largest star from a panel of Silver Foil Paper. Using just the Stars At Night Dies, I cut the medium star from a panel of Silver Glimmer Paper, the next small one from a panel of Basic White and the small star from a panel of Silver Foil Paper. I adhered the glimmer star to the large silver star. I adhered the other 2 stars to the layered star using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered stars to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and center of the star.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stars At Night stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the star image from the Stars At Night stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Smoky Slate Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I embossed a panel of Smoky Slate using the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder and adhered it to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I ho9pe you like the card and will give it a try. Hapy 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:   WRAGYZRS

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:

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.
