Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Blossoms

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you weekend is going as planned. I’ll be at work all day today, but when I get home, we’ll be making homemade pizza in our pizza oven. My husband is making the pizza dough this morning and my daughter will be getting all the toppings cut up and ready for tonight. We love using our pizza oven, it’s the best. The longest part is preparing the pizza to go in with my fresh basil and mozzarella. Once it’s put in the oven, it’s a matter of seconds that it’s done.

Today’s card I used some of the new dies that will be available starting September 1st. These dies are awesome. If you are interested in getting them early, I’d love to talk with you. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Blossoms 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Cling Stamp Set along with the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper and the new Apple Blossoms Dies (available Sept 1) for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Blossoms 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to a So Saffron card base. I embossed a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Stitched Greenery Dies. I adhered the panel to a So Saffron mat and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the apple image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Granny Apple Green and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using my Apple Blossoms Dies, I cut the apple and small flowers from the panel of Basic White, the flower center from a panel of Flirty Flamingo, the leave from a panel of Grany Apple Green and the branch from a panel of Soft Suede cardstock. I adhered the leaves to the branch using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flower center to the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers to the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the branch to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the apple to the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a couple of the flowers to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it out using my Apple Blossoms Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Pearl Basic Jewels to the flower centers.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the apples on the branch image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, So Saffron and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Granny Apple Green mat and then to the inside of the So Saffron card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the branch with the apple image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Granny Apple Green and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature Layered Anniversary

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any fun plans? I have off today, and we have a couple visitors coming over to meet Coraline. My plans other than that is to hopefully get to my card table for a bit.

My card today I made while I was virtually attending my Open Stamp Night with my team members. Every month we have an open stamp night where we can get together virtually and stamp or just chat with each other. It’s always a lot of fun getting together from all over the United States. We have members that live on the east coast, west coast and center US. Since everyone lives all over, this is the best way we could get together every month. I’d love for you to join in with us, it’s a lot of fun. Interested? Ask me how. Here’s today’s card.

Stampin' Up! Ringed With Love Anniversary 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Rings of Love Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Ringed With Love Anniversary 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Rings of Love DSP to a Night of Navy card base. I adhered a panel of the Rings of Love DSP to a Night of Navy mat and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Soft Suede cardstock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut one of the housed from the Rings of Love DSP using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered it to a Night of Navy mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Ringed With Love Anniversary 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Ringed With Love Anniversary 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Rings of Love DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Ringed With Love Anniversary 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the house image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the bottom by stamping off once on scrap paper and the roof full strength. I adhered a panel of Rings of Love DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I’ll be working on Sunday, but I have Saturday off this weekend.

I have a quick fun fold for you today, but no video to go with it. I had completely forgot that I was going to New York City on Wednesday with my daughter and husband to see a play. We had a beautiful day, the weather was perfect for our long walks. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Lights Aglow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Tree Trimming Dies (available 9-1-22) for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to the front of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Wintry 3d Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tree image from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the detail tree image from Trimming The Tree stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the first image. I stamped the garland/light image from Trimming The Tree stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink over the tree image. I cut the tree out using the Tree Trimming Dies that will be available starting September 1. I adhered the tree to the embossed die cut panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Tree Trimming Dies, I cut a star from a scrap of Gold Foil Paper and adhered it above the tree using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder from the Metallic Embossing Powders and set it using the Heat Tool. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips and adhered it next to the tree using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a small strip of the Lights Aglow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered a panel of the Lights Aglow DSP to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the garland image from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Amazing Phrasing CAS

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are all having a great week. By the time you read this I will already be at work. I had to go in early today to get done what I have to. My husband, daughter and I will be catching the 11am train to New York City to go see a play. The play is at 2pm which means, I will not be going live today on my Facebook page. Last week when I said I’d be back this week, I completely forgot about the play. I will plan on being back next Wednesday at 4pm. If I’m able to go live another day, I’ll let you know on my Facebook page.

Today’s card is a clean and simple one using only Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Amazing Phrasing Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks for my card today.

I played along with Just Us Girls Trend Week Challenge #645, Use A Stencil.

My colors are from the Cupcake Inspiration Color Challenge #550.

On the inside, I used my Artistic Mix Mask and added Blushing Bride Ink with my Blending Brush on the top of a Basic White panel.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week has started out good.

I have a quick and easy card for you today using a bundle from the Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Lasting Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Lovely In Linen Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Night of Navy cardstock using the Delicate Edge Dies. I adhered the die cut edge to the back of a panel of Lovely in Linen DSP. I adhered another strip of Night of Navy cardstock to the opposite side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pale Papaya card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the frame image from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Night of Navy Ink inside the frame. I punched the sentiment out using my Lasting Lable Punch.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the punched sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the scroll image from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink above the sentiment. I stamped the small flower image from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the top corners of the panel.

Stampin’ Up! Caroling Mice

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a beautiful one here. The heat wave has finally lifted a bit.

I played with a Host set from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog for today’s card. This set is available when you host a party or have an order over $150 and earn Stampin’ Rewards. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Caroling Mice 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Caroling Mice Host Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Christmas To Remember Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Caroling Mice 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the 3 singing mice from the Caroling Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the image in using my Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Mint Macaron, Polished Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I added a little color the all the scarfs and used my Color Lifter so that there was only a tint. I stamped the ground snow image from the Caroling Mice stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, below the mice. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips. I stamped the lamp post image from the Caroling Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White panel. I colored the image using my Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Caroling Mice 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a Basic White card front, I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped a couple of the music notes from the Caroling Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel and colored them using my Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the panel using my Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Caroling Mice 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the fussy cut images to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Caroling Mice 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the lamp post image from the Caroling Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the music notes from the Caroling Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink by the sentiment and colored them using my Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

Stampin' Up! Caroling Mice 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single Mouse image and lamp post image from the Caroling Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front.

Product List

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun in the works for this weekend.

I got some new dies a few weeks ago and was finally able to play with them. I’m really liking them and may be using them a lot more often. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 1
creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Bundle along with the Cup of Tea Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 2
creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Soft Sea Foam card front using the Split Card Texture Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 3
creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock, I stamped the wreath image from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the small flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Cut of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set in Calypso Coral and Petal Pink Inks. I cut the images out using my Country Wreaths Dies and Teacup Dies. Using my Country Wreaths Dies, I cut the detailed wreath from a panel of soft Succulent cardstock, the leaves from a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and the bow from a panel of Rose Gold Specialty Paper.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 4

I adhered the detailed wreath to the stamped wreath image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the small leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment using the smallest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 5
creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small flower image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Calypso Coral and Petal Pink Inks next to the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 6

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the flower image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Calypso Coral and Petal Pink Inks on the envelope front and flap.
