Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. It was a messy, snowy, icy, rainy day here yesterday. I don’t mind the snow, but I really dislike the ice. Because people around here don’t take care of their sidewalks, I didn’t want to take the pup for her morning walk Are you all getting ready for the weekend yet?

Today’s card mainly features the DSP from the January-April Mini catalog. 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! Online Exclusive Spring Corners Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper, Timeless Plaid 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Adhere the panel of Storybook Moments DSP to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Adhere a panel of Timeless Plaid DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the ‘Z’ fold card front using Liquid Glue.

Adhere the layered artwork panel to the card front using Liquid Glue only on the back left side. Add a few Antique Pearls to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Spring Corners stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. On the bottom of the panel, stamp the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Old Olive and Pecan Pie Inks. Adhere the Basic White panel to the left side of the Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Lost Lagoon, stamp the sentiment from the Spring Corners stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the Lost Lagoon panel to the Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere a piece of the Petal Pink 3/8″ Scalloped Ribbon between the panels and adhere it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the inside of the card based using Liquid Glue.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set on the envelope front in Old Olive and Pecan Pie Inks. Adhere a strip of Timeless Plaid DSP to the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Timeless Plaid DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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

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.
