Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Sweet Little Box

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I was able to have a fairly relaxing day yesterday, which was nice. I had time to sit at my craft table and get things ready for my next class on Tuesday along with getting a couple cards made.

I don’t have a card for you today. I have something different. I have a project this time that is so easy to make, I was able to get 6 of them done in no time at all. Here’s my project.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Sale-a-bration Photopolymer Stamp Set for my sentiment on my little box today.

I adhered 2 panels of the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper to the front and back of the cute little Sweet Little Boxes.

Once I adhered the DSP, I put the Sweet Little Boxes together. They come with adhesive on the sides so all you have to do is fold all the score lines and put them together.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the heart from the Give It A Whirl Dies. I adhered the heart to the front of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

The box will hold 2 of the Ghirardelli Heart candies without bulging. I closed the box and wrapped a piece of Highland Heather 1/2″ Grosgrain Ribbon around the box and tied a bow on the top.

Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Valentine

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I ended up working all day yesterday and it was like watching paint dry. There were customers, but it seemed like 1 would come in and check out then the next one would come in. Everyone buying salt, shovels and things to fix their snow blower. I have off today though YAY!!

I played with one of the DSP’s from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog for today’s card. I don’t usually make Valentine cards, but I’ve made a few this year. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Bundle along with the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper or my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Sweet Talk DSP to a Gorgeous Grape card base. I adhered 1 long panel of the Sweet Talk DSP to a Gorgeous Grape mat and adhered it to the left side of the card front.

I adhered 2 smaller panel of the Sweet Talk DSP to Gorgeous Grape mats and adhered them to the right side of the card front.

I cut and embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Gorgeous Grape ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Bouquet of Love Dies and adhered it to the center of the heart. I adhered the heart to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape ink. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Talk DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat and then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Talk DSP on the envelope front and a panel on 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! Nothing’s Better Than Coffee

Posted on by
12

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend and it’s a snowy one here. Last I heard we are supposed to get up to 12″ of snow today. I’ll be at work at least for part of the day. I walk to work, so I have no excuse of not being able to get the car our because the road isn’t plowed. If it gets as bad as they are saying, they will close the store early, especially if we run out of shovels and salt.

I played with a set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog today along with a Sale-a-bration item. I have gotten a lot of use from this set and just love playing with it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-bration for my card today.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Color Challenge #275.

My design is from Fusion Challenge Coffee Chalkboard. I got the theme of the photo, I missed the chalkboard part.

I started by adhering a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to a Basic Gray mat and then to a Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel of Smoky Slate cardstock to a Basic Gray mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Real Red cardstock I cut the sentiments out from the Love You More Than Dies. I adhered the long sentiment to the layered panel. I adhered the ‘coffee’ below the layered panel on the card front. I added 3 of the Basic Black Classic Matte Dots to the layered panel.

I cut the 3rd smallest Layering Circles Die from a panel of Basic White cardstock, stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and embossed it using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the coffee cup from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink on the Basic White panel and cut it out using my Love You More Than Dies. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the coffee cup to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! happy & Heartfelt Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a strip of the Simply Marbleous DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Simply Marbleous DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! Garden Birdhouses for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be working all day Saturday depending on the amount of snow we get. Once we sell out of shovels and salt sometimes, they will close the store so that everyone can get home safely. Fortunately, I walk to work, so I don’t have to worry too much about travel.

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’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Garden Birdhouses Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the New Horizons 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding the Pale Papaya card base as listed below. I adhered the card base together using Tear & Tape between the 5 1/8″ & 5 1/2″ score lines. I cut the panel of New Horizons DSP keeping them in order, at 1 5/8″, then 1 3/8″, then 1 5/8″ that left a 1 3/8″ panel. I placed the panels together on my Grid Paper and stamped the birdhouse pole from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the right 1 5/8″ panel. I colored the pole in using my Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Marker. I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink along one of the hills on the DSP. Starting with the left panel, I adhered the panels to the Pale Papaya card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a scrap of In Good Taste DSP to a scrap of Basic Whtie cardstock and stamped the birdhouse image from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set on the DSP in Early Espresso Ink. I fussy cut the birdhouse using my Paper Snips. I adhered the birdhouse to the right panel of DSP on the card base in the center on the stamped pole image using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side of the birdhouse. I adhered the 2 – 1/4″ strips of Soft Succulent cardstock to the thin edges of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Pebbles Enamel Shapes to the card front along the path.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies and adhered it to the center card front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the Basic White panel. I stamped the flower images from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Pale Papaya card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the birdhouse image and pole from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the grass and flower images from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink below the birdhouse. I adhered a panel of the New Horizon 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under the 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.

Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkle’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge. I decided to make an Anniversary card using our theme.  Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Bundle for my card today.

Our theme is LOVE this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Friendly Hello DSP to a Basic Gray card base. I adhered 2 more panels of the Friendly Hello DSP to Basic Gray mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the longer panel to the card front first, then the shorter panel on top using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a Heart & Home Doily I masked off the circle by cutting a circle in the center of a Post-It Note and placing it over the doily. I stamped the bird image from the from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Versamark Ink on the doily. I removed the mask and immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the doily to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I stamped the tiny berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Friendly Hello 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 Moments CAS

Posted on by
8

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend and the end of the month.

I have a CAS card for you today using Sale-a-bration 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 these items are Sale-a-bration items and can be earned free with a qualifying order.

My design is from The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #575.

I started by embossing a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of the Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I adhered a strip of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP on the envelope front and a panel on 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! Calming Camellia Whitewashed CAS

Posted on by
16

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope you week has started out productive. We’re back to a full week again, no holidays for a bit.

Today’s card one of my team members Mary Deatherage made on a Facebook live video on Saturday. I forgot how much I like this technique and haven’t done it in a while. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Cling Stamp Set for my card today. You can earn this set free by hosting a qualifying party or placing a qualifying order. I’d be happy to set up a host code for you and your friends. Interested? Ask me how. Contact me at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com.

I played along with Double “D” Challenge ‘Blue & White’

I also played along with Aud Sentiments Challenge #290 ‘Anything Goes + A Sentiment

I started by stamping the large floral image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Misty Moonlight card front. I stamped the swirl image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Night of Navy Ink below the floral image where I planned on putting the sentiment.

Using my Blender Pen, I added White Craft Ink just to the flower image making sure not to color the leaves. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the large floral image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off on scrap paper twice, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large floral image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front and the swirl image on 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! Flowering Tulips CAS

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you are ready for a new week.

I have a clean and simple card for you today that really goes together quickly. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Fields DSP to a Rich Razzleberry card base,

I adhered a smaller panel of the Flowering Fields DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

I adhered a piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Windowpane Check Ribbon to the layered panel. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Flowering Fields 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 Rich Razzleberry card base.

To finish my card, I adhered a strip of the Flowering Fields DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream CAS Thanks

Posted on by
10

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I spent yesterday morning cooking some comfort foods. I made a big pot of chili, a pot of stew and a triple batch of my spaghetti sauce. I like to make extra of that and freeze it so we have it whenever needed. Today I’ll be spending at work all day. What will you be doing?

I played with one of my favorite sets from the January – June 2022 Mini Catalog. I know I say that a lot, but I have a lot of favorites from this catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Bragworthy Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #453.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #519.

I also played along with the CAS On Friday Challenge #223. Their challenge is ‘HEXAGON‘

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Bragworthy stamp set on a Basic White card front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the top part of the sentiment by covering the bottom using a piece of Post-It Note Tape. I embossed the card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small daffodil image from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest hexagon die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a panel of Mango Melody cardstock using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut partway then moved the die up to make a square and turned it around in my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and cut the other half making a stitched square.

I adhered the Basic White panel to the stitched panel and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Mango Melody Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock and cut the image out using my Daffodil Dies. I adhered the butterfly to the artwork using Glue Dots. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Hexagons to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the bottom half of the sentiment from the Bragworthy stamp set (covering up the top with a piece of Post-It Note tape) in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. If you haven’t seen it yet, you have got to check out this Bragworthy stamp set, it’s got a lot of great sentiments. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Mango Melody Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mango Melody mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Mango Melody Ink by the daffodil and on the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug

Posted on by
6

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What is everyone doing this weekend? Other than working I don’t do much this time of year on the weekends. I like to hibernate because it’s so cold.

I played with a new bundle today, but this time with a punch not dies. This was one of the 1st sets that caught my eye and I just had to have it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug Bundle along with the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Pattern Party DSP to a Basic White Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the trio of flowers image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink by the leaf and the little dot image in Daffodil Delight Ink by the flowers. Using my 2nd largest Stitched With Whimsy Dies, I added the stitching around the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the ladybug body from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the wings image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the Basic Whtie panel then stamped the spots on the wings in Tuxedo Black Ink. I punched the images out using my Ladybug Builder Punch. I adhered the wings to the body using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Poppy Parade mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the 1/4″ Black & White Gingham Ribbon and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower trio image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink above the sentiment and the dots in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the ladybug image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set on the bottom of the panel stamping the Tuxedo Black part first and the Poppy Parade over the top. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Poppy Parade mat and then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the ladybug image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set on the envelope front. First, I stamped the Tuxedo Black part of the stamp then the Poppy Parade over the top. I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Ladybug stamp set by the ladybug. I adhered a panel of the Pattern Party 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!!
