Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a rainy one here on Saturday but yesterday was a gorgeous day, especially in the evening.
Today’s card is one of those cards you hate to make but sometimes just have to. We lost one of our fellow workers last week. He was such an awesome guy, that always made us laugh until our sides hurt. He was all about helping the customers find what they wanted and help them to fix things they needed help with. He is going to be truly missed. I wanted to send a special card to his wife and family. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and Countryside Corners Deis for my card today.
I adhered 5 panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue
On a panel of Lost Lagoon, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Countryside Corners Dies.
I adhered a piece of Basic Beige 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from Painted Lavender stamps et in Lost Lagoon Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Painted Lavender stamp set on the envelope front in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered a strip of the Perennial Lavender DSP to the front of the envelope and a panel to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards 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: 6C44QBJA
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:
- 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.
