Goos Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. It was beautiful here yesterday and it’s supposed to be another beautiful day today.
I got a new stamp in the mail the other day. I ordered it during the 15% off sale and was very anxious to play with it. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Berry Harvest Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stylish Shapes Die and Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.
My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #418.
I also played along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #218. I went down the left side for my card.
I started by stamping the Berry Harvest image on a panel of Basic White. Using the 2nd largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut a portion out of the image. Using Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers, I colored just the image in the die cut circle.
I adhered the non-colored portion of the image to a Coastal Cabana mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the colored die cut image, matching the images, to the Coastal Cabana mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips. I tied a small bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Coastal Cabana and Poppy Parade Inks on a panel of Basic White. I stamped part of the berry image from the Berry Harvest stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Coastal Cabana mat then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped part of the berry image from the Berry Harvest stamp set on the envelope front and flap. I colored the images with Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: MHTQEVEX
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.
