Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and heading to the weekend. It’s finally cooled off a bit here in NJ, the humidity is still up there, but the temps are only in the 80’s.
Today I have an easy card for you that uses mostly dies and just a little stamping. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Gorgeously Made Dies, Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Online Exclusives Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.
My colors are from Sunday Stamps Challenge #313, Summer Days.
I also played along with Global Design Project Theme Challenge #403, Stripes.
I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the Layered panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut the sides of a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the die cut DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic White, using my Balmy Blue and Grann Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers, I colored the panel with the light on the top and dark on the bottom. Using the Gorgeously Made Dies, I cut the 2 leafy dies from the colored panel of Basic White. I adhered the Balmy Blue die cut using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Granny Apple Green leafy die using Stamping Dimensionals. I tied a small bot using the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon and adhered it to the stems using a Glue Dot. I added a few Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the corner leaf image from Around The Bend stamp set in granny Apple Green Ink on the top corner. I adhered the panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP that I cut off from the card front panel to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the corner leaf image from the Around The Bend stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful 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: 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.

I’m planning on going live today on my YouTube Channel at 4pm ET. I hope you can join me for today’s card.
