Good Friday morning my stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but I have off on Sunday, YAY!!! The cold weather is back here. We had that little tease of spring again on Wednesday with the temperature at 70, now we’re back down to the 20’s and 30’s.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and cutting a Basic White Thick card base. I scored an 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base at 4 1/4″ and cut 1 3/4″ off the front right of the card base. I adhered a panel of Sunshine & Rainbows DSP to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the front of a Basic White Thick card front.

On a 1 1/2″ strip of Basic White cardstock I made marks every 1/2″ along both sides using a pencil so I could erase them when I was done if they were showing. I took 2 different panel of 3″ X 6″ Sunshine & Rainbows DSP and cut 1/2″ strips. Starting at the top of the panel, I adhered one pattern of the DSP on an angle. I then adhered the other panel of the DSP going the opposite way over the top of the 1st pattern. I trimmed off all the excess using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the right back of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Bermuda Bay Ink. I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Flirty Flamingo between the leafy images. I cut the sentiment out using the 3rd from the smallest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half. I added a few Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Bermuda Bay Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink between the leafy images. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the bottom of the envelope. I stamped the berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink between the leafy images. I adhered a panel of Sunshine & Rainbows DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card.

Paper Pumpkin Price Increases Beginning March 1

On March 1, 2022, Paper Pumpkin kits will see a slight increase in price for both month-to-month orders and prepaid subscriptions. Despite Covid’s continued strain on the global economy, Stampin’ Up! has been working diligently to maintain the lowest possible price for our Paper Pumpkin kits–including absorbing costs to prevent price increases. However, as we continue to see greater cost increases to raw materials, shipping, and overhead, we have made the decision to increase pricing in order to maintain the high quality and value of the monthly kit.

Here are the details:

You will begin to see the price change on paper pumpkin.com

beginning February 11, with the start of the March subscription period.

Shipping added based on order total at time of check out. 

Prepaid codes–both redeemed and unredeemed–purchased before the 1 March price change will maintain their full value. No additional payment will be required. 

Prices for past kits and refills released before March 1, 2022 will remain unchanged.

Let me know if you have any questions about the price changes.  ***If you purchase Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Kits during February, you’ll save a few $$ and possibly earn some free Sale-a-bration items too!
