Good Monday morning my stamping friends and Happy MAY and Happy May Day!!! How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything special? A quick reminder that today is the last day of the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS, but tomorrow is the launch of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog – with new fun goodies – new Core Colors – and new 2023-2025 In Colors! I can’t wait!! Today’s card uses a couple of the new Core Colors.
I have a masculine card for you today. As most of you know, I really struggle with these cards. I don’t usually have to make many, but I do like to have some on hand. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Bundle along with the Basics 3D Embossing Folder, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. The stamp set and dies will be carrying over to the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, but not at the bundle price. Today is the last day to get the bundle price saving 10%.

I started by embossing a panel of Pecan Pie cardstock (available tomorrow May 2nd) using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock (available tomorrow May 2nd) using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I punched 3 strips of Hello Irresistible DSP using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the strips to the Pretty Peacock embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the car image from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set. Using my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker (available tomorrow May 2nd), I colored just the bottom sentiment on the stamp. Using my Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker (available tomorrow May 2nd), I colored just the car on the stamp. I gave is a huff to reactivate the ink and stamped the image. I cut the sentiment and image out using the All That Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the banners using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from He’s All That stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped just the car image from He’s All That stamp set. I colored just the car on the stamp using Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker, gave it a little huff and stamped. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the car image from He’s All That stamp set on the envelope front. I colored just the car on the stamp using my Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible 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!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: BR9XGSTC
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 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini 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.

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.
