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.

Stampin’ Up! Easter Bunny for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already. I hope your week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. I like to try to work with something from the photo and the colors when I’m making my card for the challenge. It took me a minute, but I was able to work with both. The inspiration photo #192 is Happy Easter.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Easter Bunny Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Fancy Flora 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the brick of the fireplace and the bunny on top in the grass on top along with the colors of the photo.

I hope you will play along with our challenge #192 over at The Card Concepts. How are you inspired by this photo?

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by creating the background brick panel. Using my Crumb Cake Ink Pad, I covered the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder with ink. I place the panel of Basic White cardstock in the folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the card front to an Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Fancy Flora DSP to Evening Evergreen mats using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack around the 4 1/4″ panel and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the other layered panel on top of the 1st panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I added some shading using Crumb Cake and colored the inside of the ears with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Marker. I fussy cut the bunny using my Paper Snips. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the grass image from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink along the bottom of the panel. I colored the grass using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the bunny to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Bunny stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the grass image from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink along the bottom of the panel. I shaded the bunny using Crumb Cake, the ears using my Flirty Flamingo and the grass using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Whtie mat then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from the Happy Easter stamp set on the envelope front in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the grass image in Evening Evergreen Ink along the envelope bottom. I colored the grass using Soft Succulent, shaded the bunny with Crumb Cake and ear with Flirty Flaming Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope flap.

Product List

Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Hello

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week started off great!! I’m counting the hours now until I can see the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I’m so excited to see the new colors and new products. I’m even more excited to be able to order some of the items next week, YAY!!! I love this perk of being a demonstrator, I think it’s one of my favorites.

Today I played with a new bundle that I hadn’t pulled out and inked up yet. I just love this set and had so much fun with it. I also played with some shimmer paper that hadn’t seen much love from me yet. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Bundle along with the Textured Shimmer Paper and Fine Shimmer Paper for my card today.

My colors are from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #410.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Balmy Blue Textured Shimmer Paper to a Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the line & dotted image from the Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Photopolymer Stamp Set in Balmy Blue Ink. I cut the panel using the scalloped die from Around The Bend Dies. I cut a coordinating scalloped mat from a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the top of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Around The Bend Dies, I cut 2 of the flowers from a panel of Fresh Freesia Fine Shimmer Paper, the leaf dies from a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and the flower center from a scrap of Basic White. I adhered the 2 flowers together using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flower center with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the top of the panel using another one of the Around The Bend Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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 Pear Pizzazz Ink on the front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Balmy Blue Textured Shimmer Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Birthday

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Yesterday was such a beautiful day here in NJ. It was a little cool, in the 60’s, but sunny and beautiful. It felt like spring was in the air. I did have to work all day, but it was fun seeing all the dogs that came in to visit (and there were a lot of them).

I have one more card featuring the DSP. After making these cards the past few days, I realized I don’t use DSP nearly as much as I like. I love that I can create all different designs with the DSP and a sentiment. You can make these cards with any DSP you have and some of them use just scraps. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Moments Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set along with Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Moments Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pear Pizzazz card front using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder. I adhered the Pear Pizzazz card front to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Moments Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Awash In Beauty DSP to a Blushing Bride mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered 3 panels of Awash In Beauty DSP to a Blushing Bride Mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Moments Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Waves Dies. I threaded a piece of 1/2″ Balmy Blue/White Variegated Ribbon through the ends of the die cut piece. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Moments Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Awash In Beauty DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Blushing Bride mat then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Moments Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Awash In Beauty DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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.

Stampin’ Up! True Beauty CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you weekend is going well and maybe you’ll be having some nice weather and can spend some time outside. It’s supposed to be Sunny and mid 60’s here today. Although I’ll be inside all day at the dog bakery, I can poke my head outside a bit and if it’s nice enough we’ll leave the door open inviting all the puppies in. A nice change after yesterday’s cold and rainy day.

I have another quick card featuring the Designer Series Paper for you today. Can you tell it’s getting to the end of the catalog? I’m trying to use up most of my DSP before it retires. I really don’t know why this DSP didn’t get more used from me, it’s beautiful. Here’s my card for today.

You’ll find some new friends and returning favorites among our Brights, Neutrals, Regals, and Subtles. And you won’t want to miss our new 2023–2025 In Colors. We hope you’re as excited as we are to start crafting with these fresh new colors and to share them with your fellow crafting enthusiasts. 

We haven’t been told what colors will be retiring, but if you have any favorites that you can’t live without, stock up now!   We do know that the current 2021-2023 In-Colors (Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent) will be retiring. You might want to stock up on the Cardstock, DSP, Reinkers, Stampin’ Blends Markers, Stampin’ Write Markers, Ribbons etc. When supplies run out, they will not be restocking them.

More details about the updates to the color list will be announced on March 29 so look for more information then.  And pick up a few of your favorite colors now to make sure that you’ll have a good supply if your favorites end up retiring with the color refresh!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Ours started out beautiful and now it’s rainy again. I’m so over the rain this year. Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow and Sunday 😦

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Abigail Rose DSP in the center of the 5 1/4″ side in 2″. I scored from the 2″ mark to the top and bottom corner of the panel. I folded the DSP back on the fold lines. I put a Glue Dot behind each corner.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the DSP card front panel to a Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the Basic White panel in the opening.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I tied a small knot using the Petal Pink Soft Polyester 3/8″ Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Before scoring the card base, I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink in the center inside of the card base. I stamped the tulip images from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the stems. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Early Espresso Ink above the tulips. I then scored the card base at 4 1/4″. I took the other 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base and scored it at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 6 3/8″. Using my Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut the center out of the card base. The 2 1/8″ & 6 3/8″ score lines are valley folds and the 4 1/4″ is a mountain fold. I adhered 2 panels of Abigail Rose DSP to the 2 side panels of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the scored & folded card base to the inside of the Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue only on the 2 side panels, matching up the tops, bottoms and sides. I added a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies by the tulips.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the tulip stems and leaves from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the tulip images from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to the envelope flap which I colored some of the flowers using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

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.

*********************************************************************************************************

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.

Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

Stampin' Up! Dainty delight Spring 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Country Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Photopolymer Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up!

Stampin' Up! Dainty delight Spring 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the swish image from the Season of Chic stamp set in So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron Inks. I stamped the flower image from the Dainty Delight stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I adhered the artwork to a Blushing Bride mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a So Saffron mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack around the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Dainty delight Spring 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

*********************************************************************************************************

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.

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi-Fold Card

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off. I finally have a day off again. It was a long week of working every day. I’m not sure what I’m going to do first.

Today’s card is another one we made at our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. This card was designed by one of my team members Darryl Robbins. I made a couple changes from his card doing my own thing. Some of the items uses are unavailable right now but should be back in stock by mid-April. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle along with the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Sentimental Parks Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

To start, I adhered the scored & folded panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to a Petal Pink card front, adhering the folded edge to the back of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Petal Pink panel to the front of a Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut out 2 of the dotted circle dies from the Irresistible Blooms Die from panels of Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper and Vellum Paper. I sniped the circle away from the panel using my Paper Snips. I adhered the die cut pieces to the DSP card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I folded the bottom right corner of the Hello Irresistible DSP up and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Sentimental Parks Dies. I cut the sentiment mat from a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Sentiment Parks Dies. I embossed the mat using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the mat to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Loose Frosted Dots and a Dragonfly Trinket to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Under the DSP flap, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the splotch image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the sentiment. I adhered a die cut flower from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the Petal Pink panel using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock towards the right of the panel. I cut the long lines and dot die from the Irresistible Blooms Die from a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. I adhered the die cut to the Very Vanilla panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered die cut flowers from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the side of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaves from the Hello Irresistible DSP under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Hello Irresistible DSP mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.
