Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be at work all day today, but I do have off tomorrow.
I played with a new bundle for today’s card. I liked this one when I saw it, but wasn’t sure if I was going to get it. Well I did, and I had fun playing with it. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days Bundle (available May 2nd) along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set and Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.
I started by adhering a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to a Lost Lagoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock using the 3rd largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the trellis image from the Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pool Party Ink along the top of the panel. I stamped the carpet image from the Lazy Days stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.
On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the rocking chair and potted plant images from the Lazy Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Lazy Days Dies. I adhered the rocking chair and potted plant to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Petal Pink cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Lazy Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. From the same panel of Petal Pink, I cut the pillow die from the Lazy Days Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the pillow to the rocking chair using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink (available May 2nd) on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the trellis image from the Lazy Days stamp set along the top of the panel in Pool Party Ink. I stamped the potted plant from the Lazy Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Gray Granite and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rocking chair and potted plant images from the Lazy Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.
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: XMVFTAU4
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. 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.
