Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Does anyone have plans for tomorrow yet? We’ll be having our yearly Memorial Day picnic and we’ll be celebrating my daughter’s and Coraline’s birthdays. Today is both of their birthday’s we have just always celebrated Kara’s on Memorial Day.
I have a quick and easy card for you today. I used a red, I hardly ever use red since I always get all inky from it. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Scalloped Contours Dies for my card today.
I adhered a panel of Brights DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut a panel of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours Dies. Using Post-It Note Tape along the bottom and sides of the panel, I stamped the small flower image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped teh splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper first, around the flowers.
I wrapped a piece of Black Baker’s Twine around the bottom of the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small flower image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink, stamping off on scrap paper first, around the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered a panel of the Brights DSP 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 2024-2025Annual 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.
