Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works? I’ll be at work all day today.

I pulled out a bundle from the2023-2024 Annual Catalog today to play with and I went out of my comfort zone by making a yellow card. As most of you know, I’m not a fan of the color yellow and I have to force myself to use it. I have to admit that I do like this yellow though. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by using the Cheerful Daisies Dies and cutting the largest die and the 3 detailed dies from a panel of Lemon Lolly. I adhered the detailed dies to the large die using Liquid Glue.

I adhered the die cut daisies to a Lemon Lolly card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Cheerful Daisies Dies. I adhered a piece of Lemon Lolly 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack to the card front using Stampin’ Seal in a ‘Z’. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using the Cheerful Daisies Dies I cut the daisy, stem and leaves from a panel of Basic White. I adhered the daisy layers together and adhered it next to the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat 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 large daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the daisy center in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper first, inside the daisy.

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

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   T9JKA3XQ

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, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  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:

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.
