Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy New Year’s Eve!!! Does anyone have any plans for tonight or tomorrow? It’ll be a quiet night at my house.

I used a set today from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Sometimes I forget about the annual catalog when the new catalogs are available. Here’s my card for today,

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Cling Stamp Set along with the Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of a Pale Papaya card front. I stamped the small floral image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink around the sentiment. I embossed the panel using the new Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder (available January 4, 2022).

I took a panel of Expressions In Ink DSP and scored, cut & folded it as in the diagram below. I adhered the cut & folded panel to the Pale Papaya card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the top edge, left side and the small right side.

I wrapped a piece of the Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8″ Reversible Ribbon around the top of the panel and tied a small bow. I adhered the card front to a Pale Papaya card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Gilded Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the leaf images in Old Olive Ink on the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat and then to the inside of the Pale Papaya card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the envelope front and the leaves in Old Olive Ink. I adhered a panel of Expressions In Ink DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! In The Moment for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
11

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. Can you believe there are only 2 days left of 2021? I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to 2022, with being sick this past month, I’m ready to start a new year. I hope you have something fun planned for tomorrow night to ring in the new year.

If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge and it’s my favorite kind!!! I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper for my Tower card today.

This is this week’s Theme.

I started by scoring and cutting my card base as pictured in the template below.

A while back I did a video making this card. Click Here to see the video.

I adhered panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. On a scrap of Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper, I stamped the pillow part of the stamp and fussy cut the pillows using my Paper Snips. I adhered the fussy cut pieces to the stamped image. I adhered the artwork to a panel of So Saffron cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

I adhered panels of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the back of the card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden Paneled Hello

Posted on by
8

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to a New Year!!! How does everyone celebrate bringing in the New Year? It’ll be a quiet one at my house again I believe.

Today’s card features the gorgeous Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper that will be going away on Monday January 3,2022, that’s in just 5 more days. You might want to grab a pack or 2 (or 3) if you haven’t gotten yours yet. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden Cling Stamp Set along with the Ever Eden DSP for my card today.

I started by cutting and adhering 3 equal strips of the Ever Eden DSP and adhering them to an Evening Evergreen card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, so I had a little wiggle room. I adhered the panel to a gold mat from the Brushed Metallic Paper.

I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a small bow. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the floral image from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the floral image. I cut the image our using my Layering Circle Dies and adhered it over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Garden Gems, which will also be going away January 3, 2022, to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the floral image from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on top of the floral image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Ever Eden DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance for the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to our January-June 2022 Mini Catalog Blog Hop. If you’ve hopped over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. We thought this would be a great way for you to see some of the beautiful products that will be available coming up Mini Catalog starting on January 4, 2022. We each got to pick a stamp set, bundle or suite that we wanted to feature. I hope you enjoy seeing everyone’s beautiful projects. Here’s mine using a new bundle from the Mini Catalog along with some of the gorgeous new Designer Series Paper.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Bundle along with the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by stamping the rose image and the small floral image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set. I colored the stamps using my Fresh Freesia, Just Jade and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut the images out using my Ranunculus Dies. I also cut a flower using one of the Ranunculus Dies from a panel of Pale Papaya cardstock. I adhered the die cut images on a Heart & Home Doilie using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals

I adhered a panel of the Heart & Home DSP to a Basic Gray card base. On a strip of Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum I stamped the postage image in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the shimmer vellum using Stampin’ Seal just where the doily was going to be adhered.

I adhered the artwork to the shimmer vellum using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it with a Glue Dot to the bottom of the flowers. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set on the bottom of the panel coloring it in the same with my Stampin’ Write Markers, as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set on the envelope front coloring it the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of the Heart & Home DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Special Moment CAS Sneak Peek

Posted on by
8

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Was everyone able to visit with family and friends for Christmas. I worked yesterday and it was like watching paint dry. It always amazes me with retail how it’s busy, busy, busy then it just dies.

I have a clean and simple card today using all Sale-a-bration items. Do you know that Sale-a-bration starts in just 8 days? I’m so excited!!! I can’t wait to get my hands on more of the free items. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both of these items are free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I punched the sentiment out using my Label Me Fancy Punch and punched the slits on either side of the punched sentiment.

I threaded a piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Chevron Ribbon through the punch and wrapped it around a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP adhering it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the panel to a Flirty Flaming card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added some Garden Gems (only available for 1 more week) to the sentiment and the flower centers.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a strip of the Daffodil Daydream DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the daffodil image from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the throat of the flower using my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the envelope flap. I realized after I adhered it, that I used the wrong DSP oops.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my CAS card. Items will be available with a qualifying order starting on January 4, 2022. Get those shopping lists ready! Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my stamping friends Merry Christmas Eve and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Will you be spending time with friends or family tomorrow? We’ll be spending the day relaxing just my husband, daughter and me. My son and his girlfriend will be going to her family’s house. My niece and her family will be going to her husband’s family like they always do. So, our plan is to relax, watch Christmas movies, maybe stamp a little and just enjoy the day.

Today I have my simple go to fun fold card, another Z fold using some new product coming in the January-February Sale-a-bration catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter Cling Stamp Set along with the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Misty Moonlight card base at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″. I folded the card base in half first and then folded the front back along the 2 3/4″ score line.

I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otter stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using my Layering Diorama Dies. I cut the next size larger Layering Diorama Die from a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the panel. I added a few of the new Pebbles Enamel Shapes on the bottom of the artwork.

On the inside I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Awesome Otter stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped another otter image from the Awesome Otter stamp set on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside left of the card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otter stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. The items I used for my card today will be available starting January 4, 2022. Both the DSP and the stamp set are free with qualifying orders. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends, Merry Christmas Eve, Eve! Is everyone just about ready for the big day? I’m not. I have to work all day today and I don’t have 1 gift wrapped. I still have to pick up a gift or 2, which may end up having to wait. The lines in the store were crazy the other day. Now if it’s something I can buy at the dog bakery or the hardware store, then I will get it.

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set along with Sale-a-bration items, the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set and Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by cutting the center of a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP using the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Die.

I adhered the larger piece of the DSP to a Pale Papaya card base. I took the center piece that I cut out and flipped it over and adhered it to the center of the adhered piece on the card base. Can we just take a moment to look at this gorgeous DSP!!!

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, stamping off 3 times on a piece of scrap paper. I colored just the throat of the daffodil using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I went over what I colored using the Color Lifter Stampin’ Blend Marker so there was just a very light color. I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink over the stamped image. I cut the image our using the 4th largest Layering Circle Dies. I adhered a piece of the Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front and adhered the circle over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, and colored it the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the Pale Papaya card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. Items used for my card today will be available starting January 4, 2022, from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-bration catalog. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today. If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go to Tara’s page.

Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet CAS

Posted on by
15

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and only 3 days till Christmas. I haven’t wrapped a thing, let alone shopped. My husband has done a lot of the shopping for us this year, I’m just not feeling up to it.

I have a quick fun card today using product from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Every once in a while, I like to pull things out I haven’t played with in a bit. Here’s my card today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Back on Your Feet Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #272.

My colors are from Inspire. Create. Color Challenge #106.

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and adhering it to a Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of In Good Taste DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom. I immediately sprinkled it with my white embossing powder from the Embossing Powder Basics and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal. I colored a piece of White Bakers Twine using my Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends Marker. Once it was dry, I wrapped it around the layered panel and tied a small bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sloth image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a couple Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the turtle image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the sloth image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

I’ll Be Back Tomorrow, Baking Away

Posted on by
10

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Sorry I haven’t posted, but I’ve been a little busy baking away the past few days. Here’s how I started Thursday morning.

Everything always starts nice and neat. I have all my recipe cards and books ready to go along with all the ingredients. Thursday, I spend mixing away. The only ones I bake on Thursday are my bar cookies that have multiple steps.

Because of being sick and having to drop my daughter off and pick her up, I had a couple batches to mix on Friday. Then it was time to start baking. I have the lineup of cookies waiting to go into the oven.

All cookies go in starting with the lowest temp and I work my way up.

I have all the containers labeled with the cookie name and the oven temp.

I have stacks of cooling racks that I put the cookies on before going into bowls.

As the cookies cool, I have them up high wherever I can find room. This is in hopes that my family won’t see them and start eating them right away lol.

Pignoli cookies has become everyone’s favorite, and I’ve had to make a double batch of them the past couple years and there’s no skimping on the pine nuts in my house.

All the cookies get put on my table and counter for me to start making cookie trays. As I make the trays, I count to make sure everyone is getting all the varieties. The trays are my gift to friends and family. A lot of love and hard steady work goes into making all these cookies, but it is well worth it when everyone is enjoying them. This started as a tradition years ago when I was young with my mother. My daughter tries to help as much as possible, but school and work seem to get in the way, so a lot of it I do on my own.

Only 3 bar cookies this year. The one on the far right is a key lime bar, yum. Good thing it was cold enough outside so that I was able to put all the trays in my card and ready to deliver Tuesday morning.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a card and if my asthma behaves, I’ll be back to doing my Facebook live tomorrow afternoon.

With the new January-June 2022 Mini Catalog starting on January4, 2022 I’ll be starting a new Online Host Club Sign up early so you don’t miss out!!

Do you have a long Wish List and don’t want to spend a lot of money all at once?  An Online Host Club might just be the perfect solution for you.  This is the perfect way to build up your Stampin’ Up! supplies a little at a  time and receive host benefits too.

Here’s how it works:

You sign up for a 6-month term and commit to:

  • Placing a $25.00 minimum order each month
  • Placing your order by the 20th of each month
  • Using the Host Code for each month that I provide to you in an email sent out at the beginning of each month

Once 6 members have joined, a random draw will determine your host month and you are guaranteed:

  • A $150.00 Workshop order during your host month
  • $15.00 minimum of Host Dollars to spend on the exclusive Host Stamp Sets or any other current Stampin’ Up! product during your host month
  • You earn one Reward point for every $25 that you order on your Host Club Orders.  So your $25.00 order earns one Reward every month, a $50 order earns 2 reward points, a $75 order earns you 3 reward points, etc.  You’ll earn at least 6 reward points during your membership, building up your Rewards towards FREE Items
  • Free catalogs during your membership term
  • Free Shipping in your Host Month
  • A FREE STAMP SET of your choice valued up to $25.00 at the
    END of the 6 months, any current set (excluding host sets)

At the end of the 6 months you will get first right at signing up for the next 6 month term

During your Host month you are also welcome to gather extra orders to increase your host rewards, just give your friends the host code for the orders, it’s that easy!

Questions: email me at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com

U.S. residents only please.  I am not permitted to sell outside the country I reside in.

Update to Stampin’ Up!’s Backorder Policy Beginning December 1st

Stampin’ Up! provided us with the following update related to their backorder policy:

As you may have heard reported in the news, unprecedented shipping and logistics issues have resulted in a global supply chain crisis. This is affecting businesses world-wide and Stampin’ Up! is no exception. Due to extreme difficulties caused by these issues, starting 1 December 2021, Stampin’ Up! will no longer take orders for products that are not in stock.

In other words, Stampin’ Up! will no longer accept backorders. This change will help to reduce frustrations from unpredictable product availability and allow you to order products that will be delivered right away, rather than products that may not be delivered for months.

If you’d ever like to know if a product is available, please check the online store Here.

The online store is a great resource to browse products, determine availability, and place orders for in-stock items with me. 

If you currently have items that you’ve ordered that are on backorder, those items will be shipped out to you once the stock as been replenished.  No need to do anything to ensure that your backordered items are delivered.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Hopefully the worldwide supply chain crisis will be resolved in the coming months and we can all get back to normal!
