Good afternoon stamping friends. How are you all doing? I’ve been so busy here with work and getting my Class by Mail shipped out. If you signed up for my class you should start receiving the packages by today or tomorrow. I will be emailing you the PDF and videos tonight when I get home from work. Since I’ve gotten home from the retreat I haven’t had a spare minute. Both my bosses were away the same time I was, and I came back to a bit of chaos and a lot of extra work. On top of that it’s the end of the month and tomorrow’s the 1st so I’ll be there all day both days.

I have a quick card for you today. I played with a bundle that I’ve had for a bit and just haven’t had the time to create with the whole thing. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Elegant Leaves Hello

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning stamping friends, welcome to a new week and the last few days of September. Not quite sure where the month went, all I know is that it’s getting cooler here in NJ and I’m not liking it.

I have a fall card for you today that could really be used for any occasion. I like to have those around to grab when I need a card quickly. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Elegant Leaves Bundle, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Emboss a panel of Basic Beige using the Forever Plaid EF, on an angle. Adhere the embossed panel to an Autumn Opulence DSP mat. Adhere the layered panel to the Basic Beige card base.

Using the Elegant Leaves Dies, cut panels or Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Real Red Two-Tone cardstock. Cut the detailed leaves on the darker side and the solid leaves on the lighter side. Adhere the detailed die cut leaves to the solid die cut leaves. Adhere the leaves to the card front, connecting all the stem, with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Elegant Leaves Dies, cut the panel of Basic Beige using the medium solid leaf die. Stamp the sentiment from the Elegant Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the die cut leaf. Adhere the leaf to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, touching the other stems. Tie a small bow with the Mossy Meadow Neutrals Jute Combo Pack. Adhere the bow to the leaf stems with a Glue Dot. Add a few Natural Matte Dots to the card front.

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Elegant Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink. Stamp 2 of the detailed leaf images from the Elegant Leaves stamp set in the corners of the panel in Blackberry Bliss and Crushed Curry. Adhere a panel of Autumn Opulence DSP to the bottom of the Basic Beige panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to an Autumn Opulence DSP mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp 2 of the leaf images from the Elegant Leaves stamp set in Crushed Curry & Real Red Inks on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Autumn Opulence 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!!

Pictures from our 2026 Retreat

Posted on by
2

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. I’m having a great time in TN with my friend Judi and her husband Paul. We’re having fun creating together and just spending time chatting.

Before I get going, I’ve been getting emails from some who have signed up for my shares. I just wanted to let you all know that they were mailed out Thursday Sept 10 by 4pm ET either UPS or USPS. I’ve tracked most of them and I know a lot have been delivered. Just remember it is the mail delivering them and some may take longer than others to get to you, though you should all have them by now

Well, our 2026 retreat is in the books and already can’t wait to get together with everyone again. I thought I’d share some photos from the retreat today with you. We had such a wonderful time laughing till our sides ached and tears rolled down our faces.

Here’s the craft area we get to work in. Look at the amazing lighting that James installed since last year. None of us had to use our desk lights to see this year. I think one of the things I like the most is the socializing with everyone and making the cards they designed. I got to play with sets that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to purchase, of course now I want them all.

We were all hard at work creating along with doing a lot of chatting.

This is Poe, one of James’ pups.

And this one is Cooper the other pup that was there with us.

Our first night’s dinner was a delicious Beef Lasagna, veggies and garlic bread.

In the morning James made his amazing Blueberry French Toast bake and this year he added a crumble topping on it.

Friday night he made a delicious Pork Loin with Apple-Cranberry Chutney, Lemon Garlic Grilled Zucchini, Mushroom & Spinach Risotto and 2 pans of his famous Carrot Souffle.

Saturday afternoon we celebrated Mary Deatherage, the one who coordinates this whole event, for her MILLION Dollars in Sales Achievement.

Her team had been arranging this whole thing for months leading up to the retreat knowing she would reach it by then.

Of course we needed our group picture at the end.

We had a great group of cards to make. These beautiful fall and birthday cards were designed by Judi, Karen F, Amy and Becky.

These Christmas cards were designed by Janet, Charlene, Mary (a gift card holder YAY) and Tara. I got to work on other projects while I was there also.

Good Monday morning stamping friends sand welcome to a new week. hope you all had a great weekend!! We headed back to TN yesterday late morning after a wonderful breakfast of a Baked Monte Cristo.

Today’s card was a request by one of my Girl Scouts from 10 years ago. As a lot of you know I was a Girl Scout leader for 13 years.

Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings for Fun Fold Friday & Last Day of FLASH SALE!!

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I made it safely to TN Wednesday afternoon. It was so great getting to spend some time with Judi and Tara before heading to GA yesterday. Then once we arrived at the house and met up with everyone the fun began. Of course, our first dinner that James made us was amazing. We had a Salad, Beef Lasagna, Garlic Bread Panned Fried Brussel Sprouts with Sweet Chilli Sauce and Skillet Roasted Broccoli. It was finished off with a wonderful Lemon Blueberry Angel Food cake. Looking forward to our Blueberry French Toast bake this morning.

Today’s card is one that we made last Sunday at our quarterly team meeting. This card was designed by Rosie Kean one of my amazing team members. I changed mine up a little, as I usually do. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Stamp Set, Sunflower Fields Suite Collection and the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 2 panels of Sunflower Fields DSP to Secret Sea mats. Adhere the panel of Radiant Foil Specialty Paper to the Secret Sea mat. Using the Radiant Sunflower Dies, cut 2 of the small sunflowers from a panel of Golden Glow and 1 from a panel of Cajun Craze. Cut 3 flower centers from a panel of Early Espresso. Stamp the leaf image from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set 3 times on a panel of Old Olive in Mossy Meadow Ink. Cut the images using the Radiant Sunflowers Dies. Adhere the 2 Sunflower Field layered panels to the top and bottom of either the right or left side of the card front. Adhere the Radiant Foil layered panel to the center of the opposite side you adhere the floral one.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the flower centers to the flowers. Adhere the sunflowers to the ends of the layered panels with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the leaves under the sunflowers.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, stamp the sentiment from Banner Sayings stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the short Stylish Shapes Dies banner. Adhere a piece of Mossy Meadow & Very Vanilla 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon to the Radiant Foil panel. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Radiant Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere 2 panels of Sunflower Fields DSP to Secret Sea mats. Adhere the 2 layered panels to either side of the inside of the Very Vanilla card base. Using the Radiant Sunflowers Dies, cut the larger sunflower image from a panel of Golde Glow, the stem from a panel of Mossy Meadow and the flower center from a panel of Pecan Pie. Adhere the die cuts to a panel of Very Vanilla. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the sentiment from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Sunflower Fields DSP to the envelope flap.

Today is the LAST DAY of the Flash Sale!!!

 Stampin’ Up! just announced that they’re doing a 15% off select stamp sets from September 16-18!!  We weren’t given a list of the stamp sets that will be on sale, so we’ll need to check the online store when the sale begins to find out the specific sets! And did you know that if you are a demonstrator, you get your 20% discount on top of the 15% discount. Interested in joining? Information below and contact me and we can talk.

Here are the details for the sale:

  • Sales Period: September 16–18
  • Ordering Deadline: September 18, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. (MT)

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

Join Experience

Stampin’ Up! is introduced a simplified join process designed to make joining faster and easier than ever before!  The new process will create a more streamlined experience when you join!  

As part of the new join process, all first-time demonstrators (beginning June 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM MT) will receive a surprise Welcome Box—a gesture of appreciation and a warm welcome into the global Stampin’ Up! creative community!

How the New Process Works

Step 1: Join

New demonstrators will:

  1. choose a team leader.
  2. accept required agreements.
  3. enter a few personal details.
  4. pay the $100 join fee.
  5. click submit.

Step 2: Shop

Once their information has been reviewed and approved (usually very quickly), their Welcome Box ships, and the new demonstrator receives an email with:

  • their demonstrator ID.
  • a coupon code to begin shopping.

About the Coupon Code

  • Valued at $125.
  • Coupon code can be applied to any demonstrator order.
  • Order CAN exceed the coupon code value (I know that many people wanted the option to be able to add more than $125 to their Starter Kit!).
  • Any amount above the coupon code value:
    • receives the demonstrator discount.
    • counts toward the quarterly sales minimum.
    • earns Stampin’ Rewards if it meets the qualifying purchase amount (as long as you’ve opted into the Stampin’ Rewards program).

Additional perk for new demonstrators

  • New demonstrators may add eight free catalogs to any order!

Let me know if you have any questions about the new joining process.  I’m so happy that you’ll now have the option to go over the $125 amount AND that it will automatically count toward your sales! 

Why not start thinking about joining the Stampin’ Up! community, I’d love to have you on my team. It will be 8 years in July that I signed up and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From all the friends I’ve made, the discount on everything I purchase, early access to seeing the new products coming and being able to order them before customers and of course going to OnStage and meeting up with my team and other demos. Contact me at: creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. We’re a very relaxed team that loves to create and share.
