Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? Does anyone have plans for Easter Sunday yet?

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Bundle and Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both items will be available starting May 1st. If you’d like to get this beautiful DSP and awesome bundle early, you can add it to a starter kit starting on April 2nd. Contact me and I’ll tell you how.

I started by adhering the 4 smaller panels of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the 4 Petunia Pop mats (available May 1st) using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4 layered panels to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the longer panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the longer Petunia Pop mat then to a panel of Pool Party using Liquid Glue and set it aside. 

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink along the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the leaf image. On a small panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the Basic White panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the center of the Pool Party card base.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Journey stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I colored the image using the Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut the image out using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. From panels of Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop, I cut the stand along flower die from the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. I snipped the flowers off the Petunia Pop die using Paper Snips and adhered them to the Lost Lagoon die using Liquid Glue. Using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies, I cut the branch die from a panel of Wild Wheat. I adhered the 3 die cut pieces to the right side of the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered bridge panel to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue only on the ends.

On the back, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set by added ink to the stamp using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Write Markers. I huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamped it on the side of the Basic White panel. I colored the leaves in using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the thistle image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the back of the Pool Party card base. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes in Pool Party Ink on the back panels of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope front in Pebbled Path Ink. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope flap, inking the stamp the same as I did for the card back. I stamped the splotch image around the flowers and leaves in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my sneak peek of 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 it.

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.
