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

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! Sparkling Snowflakes for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you all ready for the weekend? Does anyone have any plans yet? I have off tomorrow for our Virtual OnStage @ Home event. So, I’ll be sitting in front of my computer from 11am-5pm.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Suite, Radiating Stitches Dies and Garden Meadow Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. For the main front panel, I scored and folded a panel of Basic White Thick cardstock at 1/2″ & 1″ on either side. I cut the center of the panel out using the arch from the Garden Meadow Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White, I cut 3 sets of the snowbanks using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the bunny image from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the image out using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I cut 2 trees from a panel of Early Espresso using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I adhered one of the trees to the outside of the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the other tree behind the arch to the inside of the panel. I adhered the snowbank dies to the bottom of the Basic White card front panel using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals, off centering them to give some dimension to the snow. I adhered the bunny between the snow using a Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to the Misty Moonlight card base using Tear & Tape, making sure to line up the sides evenly.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the larger circle from the Radiating Stitches Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a snowflake from the Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the bunny and snowbank image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink next to the trees. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaf Fall for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. It’s amazing how quickly you can get back into the routine after being away for a few days.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #201 is Fall Leaves. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. I was inspired by the overall theme of the photo for my Free Style Collage card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 201.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Leaf Fall EF. I wrapped a piece of Copper Clay 3/8″ Textured Ribbon around the bottom of the panel and adhered it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I had a whole stack of scraps from the All About Autumn DSP, so I cut the elm, maple and oak leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies. This is a great way to used up some of those scraps.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I randomly adhered the die cut leaves under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered 2 strips of the All About Autumn DSP to the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the All About Autumn DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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.

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

I’m planning on going live today on my YouTube Channel at 4pm ET. I hope you can join me for today’s card.

Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Backpack Box & NEW Online Exclusives Now Available

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all doing well today. I got right back into my normal routine yesterday with going to work and cleaning up around. I had to run to Costco for a quick shopping trip since I had NO fruit left in the house. I need my fruit in the mornings.

Go check out my Online Store for the NEW Online Exclusive products available starting today. Get those orders placed early so you don’t miss out on the pretty new suite and new bundles. I’ll be getting my order placed this morning.

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

I have a cute project today that we made at the retreat this past weekend. I don’t have directions or measurements for you since there were none available for us. The idea came from Pootles in the UK. If you Click Here, you can see a video of how the backpack was made.

This adorable little backpack box was designed by Janet Greur. She had a template for us to follow. We used the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper for the front of the backpack. For the cut little 3″ X 3″ note card we used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set.

Both the top and bottom of the backpack open so you can put little treats in it or some note cards. They both close with a small Velcro disc. The sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink and punched out using the Double Oval Punch. The scalloped oval was punched out using Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

The back has these cute little straps so you know it’s a backpack. The images on the note card were stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Last of the Retreat Pictures

Good Monday morning friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to enjoy some of the beautiful autumn weather. I’m back home safely, which is a good thing, except it’s back to work, back to planning and making my own meals and back to cleaning. It’s amazing how one weekend could spoil you so much.

Another retreat is in the books, and we are already booked for next year. We had a beautiful sunrise Sunday morning. Once we finished another amazing meal that James made at The Crafty Elk Lodge, everyone sat around talking and planning next year’s retreat. Then it was time to pack up and say our goodbyes.

This is James our amazing Host. He is the owner, manager, chef and general caretaker of everything and everyone at the Crafty Elk Lodge in Fairmount, GA. If you every want to gather a group for a getaway, this is the perfect place.

Breakfast Sunday was an omelet bar with sausage, tater tots, toast, bagels, crescent rolls and of course fruit.

We picked our fillings and brought our plate over to James. He put together our omelet and brought them to us.

Afterwards we all sat around talking and making the plans for next year.

And Max just chilled in everyone’s way.

While the turkey stood at the fence waiting to be fed.

Some more views of the property.

A group picture in front of the house with Po.

Crafting area is all packed up.

Here is a Hanukah card that Linda Nye made. It’s an easel card with a tealight behind the image. Absolutely gorgeous in person. This was one she made after she made all the swaps.

More Pictures from the Retreat

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. Did you all remember to turn those clocks back? I hope you were able to enjoy that extra hour sleep. The roosters started crowing at 3:30am here, they don’t care about daylight savings time ending or starting.

Today is the last day already, this weekend went by so fast. My ribs are hurting from laughing so hard. Every meal we sat around the table after eating and talked for a bit, we were guaranteed to always be laughing. We’ll be packing up this morning and heading back to Atlanta for the day and catching our plane later tonight. This has been the best weekend and a much-needed time away for me. I’ll be sharing the cards that we made soon with you. In the meantime, I have a few more pictures of The Crafty Elk Lodge to share.

Every crafting retreat must have treats. It’s in the name, re-Treat!!

In between working hard making projects, Susan had fun looking famous.

Then it was back to work for Susan making multiple projects.

Linda had a beautiful project for us that I can’t wait to show you.

Janet was over doing some heat embossing for one of the projects she was making. When Janet had us in stitches every night after dinner while we sat around the table talking.

Pete (that’s her nick name) and Lynn were hard at work making extra cards. They were new to the group this year and will be coming back next year I hope.

Amy and Mary (in the back) were looking busy making cards and joking around at the same time. Judy (my roommate) was cutting extra projects up.

Susan was working hard and took a quick second to look up to give me a smile. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met.

While we were ‘hard at work’ Po was taking naps. Entertaining all these ladies is hard work.

James did not disappoint us with breakfast yesterday morning. An eggs benedict casserole with hollandaise sauce, hot cinnamon rolls, hot muffins and fresh fruit.

We had a delicious taco bar for lunch with ground beef, shredded chicken, cheese quesadillas and all the fixings. I was in heaven with a big taco salad.

James outdid himself with dinner. The beef lasagna was so good. We also had these delicious Garlic Green Beans & Mushrooms. I don’t like brussels sprouts; I’ve tried for years and just can’t get them down. The brussels sprouts were SO good I actually went back for more. I think one of my favorite things about the dinners was all the vegetable.

Our last dinner here ended with a peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream that cannot be explained how good it was. I’m going to miss these meals and the company.

Pictures from Our Krew Retreat

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I am having the best time ever in Georgia. I have done more laughing in the past 2 days than I have in months. No card today for you, instead I have pictures or The Crafty Elk Lodge that we are staying at. This place is awesome and James is the BEST host ever.

Here are a few shots of the place we are staying.

The house we are staying in.

James converted the big garage to a craft room. I’ll have pictures of inside tomorrow.

Most of the cows are out in the pasture.

Beautiful property to take a nice walk and see all the leaves changing.

There are chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and roosters that starts crowing before 5am, even though the sun isn’t up. All the animals here are pets.

James has an11 month old puppy Po that is so friendly and lovable. e gets to roam and run free all day on the acres of property. We’ve seen him sitting in front of the chicken coop having a stare down with the turkey.

There are comfort sitting areas that we can relax in,

His cat Max is super friendly and comes and goes as he likes.

Our 1st nights meal was amazing.

Lots of vegetables made all different ways.

Dinner ended with a delicious hot chocolate lava cake and a side of vanilla ice cream

Gifts from fellow team members

Susan Stanley made us these beautiful bowls by hand. I chose a fox because my Coraline looks like a fox.

Susan Kuenzel gave us these beautiful tea towels with matching tags she made with the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle.

Linda Nye made these cute ornaments and gave them to us in a little bag with our showbox swap.

Mary Deatherage and Amy Koenders gave us these cute craft bags filled with a Stampin’ Up! Mug, Paper Snips, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Linen Thread, D Block, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Up! Thoughts of Thanks Journal, Brushed Gold Cards & Envelopes and a candle.

Joanie gave us these bags filled with goodies.

Here’s some pictures of breakfast from Friday.

I was looking forward to this French toast, best ever.

Lunch from Friday.

Delicious eggrolls and fried tofu with plum sauce. Those here that don’t like tofu now love it.

Dinner from Friday.

He sets up a little salad bar with all the meals.

We always get amazing desserts at the end of dinner.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I’ll have more pictures of everyone tomorrow hard at work from the craft room and having a great time.

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! Stars At Night for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. We arrived safely yesterday, and our first day was wonderful. It’s a little chilly here in GA, but it’s supposed to get a little warmer each day. We all got set up and started passing out our little gifts and starting on our card swaps. Dinner last night was nothing short of amazing. James really knows how to cook up the best meals. After dinner we all just sat around the table for a few hours talking, laughing, more talking and much, much more laughing. This is such an awesome group of ladies I’m with. I’ll be sharing pictures when I can throughout the weekend.

I have a gate fold fun fold card for you today using a gorgeous bundle that I absolutely love. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Bundle along with the Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set, Gold Foil Paper and Online Exclusive Silver & Gold Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting and prepping all the components before actually putting the card together. Using the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder and Stars At Nigh Dies, I cut the largest and smallest stars from a panel of Gold Foil. I cut the 2nd largest star from a panel of Gold Adhesive Back Glimmer Paper and the 2nd smallest star from a panel of Very Vanilla. Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut the 2nd largest circle from a panel of Very Vanilla and Gold Foil paper. I cut the center of the Very Vanilla circle using the Stars At Night Dies. I adhered the Very Vanilla circle to the Gold Foil circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Very Vanilla I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Shining Brightly DSP to Gold Foil mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to each side of the Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Gold Glimmer star to the large Gold Foil star. I adhered the Very Vanilla star to the Gold Glimmer star using a Glue Dot. I adhered the small Gold Foil star to the Very Vanilla star using a Glue Dot. I adhered the layered star to the layered circle die cut using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a Night of Navy belly band around the card and adhered it together using Tear & Tape. I removed the belly band and stamped the multi star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Versamark Ink on both sides of the belly band. I sprinkled the images with Gold Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. I put the belly band back on the card and adhered the layered star in the center using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment across the star on the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I adhered a panel of Shining Brightly DSP to a Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the inside card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stars At Night stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from Stars At Night stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink. On the other panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink. I stamped the multi star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on both panels. I adhered the panels to the inside of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Shining Brightly DSP to the envelpe flap.

Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Collage for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. By the time you read this I will either be in the air flying to Georgia for our retreat or I will have landed. I’m so looking forward to being away for a few days with my stamping friends and team members. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Bundle along with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Winter Meadow DSP card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Moody Mauve mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From panels of Blueberry Bushel, Lost Lagon, Misty Moonlight, Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock I cut the above # of dies from the Magical Meadow Dies. I adhered the berries to the Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock die cuts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the tops of the 2 Blueberry Bushel die cuts.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I arranged the die cuts the way I wanted them on the Winter Meadow DSP card front and adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I trimmed any stems that met in the center and needed to be trimmed using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Cling Stamp Set in Moody Mauve Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies. I embossed the sentiment using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the card front over the stems using Stampin’ Dimensioanls.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the images from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock Inks on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock Inks on the envelope front and flap.
