Stampin’ Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother’s Day

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Did you know it’s National Love You Pet Day? I don’t know about you, but every day is Love Your Pet Day in my house. Before I get started with my card, I wanted to share a couple pictures of how I have to make cards with Coraline at my side and how I do things in the kitchen with her.

I usually stand when making cards so I can get around easily without getting up and down. She doesn’t make it easy to get around.

In the kitchen, she has to be right under my feet at all times or around them. Think she’s a mama’s girl?

Today’s card I used some Sale-a-bration items again. I want to use them as much as possible before they are gone. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Detailed Dogwood Cling Stamp Set, Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder and Sunny Days Designer Series Paper along with the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic Gray card front using the Softly Sophisticated EF. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days DSP to the panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Basic Gray card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large dogwood image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I colored the image using Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink next to the dogwood image.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal. From a panel of Basic White, I cut the 2nd largest die from the Perennial Postage Dies. I adhered the layered artwork to the die cut panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple dragonflies from the Online Exclusive Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies and Birds. I added a Petal Pink gem from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller dogwood image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink next to the sentiment, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the dogwood image using Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large dogwood image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did the card. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hellos CAS

Good Monday morning stamping friends and Happy Presidents Day!! Is anyone lucky enough to have today off? I have to work today, but there’s no mail so I may get out a little early, but it all depends how the weekend went. How was everyone’s weekend? I had all these intentions of getting so much done in my craft room. That did not happen.

We’re down to our final 10 days of Sale-a-bration so I thought I’d make a card using some of the free products you can earn. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hellos CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Heartfelt Hellos Cling Stamp Set and Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper along with the Hexagon Punch for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #623.

I also joined in with TGIF Product Challenge #440.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hellos CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to a panel of Bubble Bath using Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the bottom of the panel on an angle using Liquid Glue. I trimmed off the excess using the Paper Trimmer.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hellos CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a strip of Garden Green along the seem of the DSP’s using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Bubble Bath card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hellos CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Flight & Airy DSP using the Hexagon Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Sale-a-bration Opaque Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions with Flight & Airy

Good snowy Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the long holiday weekend. I woke up this morning to at least 7″ of snow and it’s still coming down. I heard it was going to snow, but lately the weatherman hasn’t gotten the weather correct, so I was in disbelief. I LOVE when it snows and looking outside at the beautiful blanket of white. I especially love when I get to stay inside and look at it all day, but I’ll be at work all day and I’m guessing it’s going to be busy with all those people who suddenly don’t have shovels, want to buy the snowblowers and need salt. Do you have any plans in the works? Who’s lucky enough to have a long weekend for Presidents day?

Wit the beautiful blanket of snow, I have a quick and easy springy card for you using some of the Sale-a-bration DSP. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Bundle along with the Layered Floral 3D Embossing Folder and Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom of a Basic White card front. I embossed the top section of the card front using the Layered Floral EF.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a strip of Flight & Airy DSP to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Boho Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Flight & Airy DSP, I cut the bird image using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. Using the next size larger Thoughtful Expressions Dies, I cut a panel of Boho Blue. I adhered the die cut DSP to the die cut Boho Blue panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Glossy Dots Assortment to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Flight & Airy DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Boho Blue mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Flight & Airy 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.

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! Waves Of Inspiration Tools for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? Anyone starting to make plans? Who has a nice long weekend for Presidents Day? Not me, even though I work in the office, I work in retail.

Sorry I wasn’t able to go live with this card on Wednesday, I’d had a migraine for a couple days and just wasn’t feeling up to it. So, as most of you know, I work in a hardware store. I work in the office and run the register on the weekends. When Sale-a-bration came out with the Trusty Toolbox DSP, I had to make some kind of a card using all the tools. I did not get the Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools Bundle, so I had to get creative myself.  I decided to make my boss a birthday card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration Cling Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper for my card today. Surprisingly I only used Stamps, Ink and Paper. There still time to get this DSP FREE with a qualifying order of $50 or more during Sale-a-bration.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by fussy cutting a lot of the tools from the Trusty Toolbox DSP using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic Black easel card base to the Gray Granite card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of the Trusty Toolbox DSP to the Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the ruler piece of Trusty Toolbox DSP. I adhered the ‘ruler’ to the top of the front panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered some of the tools I fussy cut to the front panel using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered more of the tools I fussy to the inside pegboard panel of Trusty Toolbox DSP card front using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Gray granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered more of the tools I fussy cut to the panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Trusty Toolbox DSP mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Trusty Toolbox DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Filled With Happiness for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. 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 Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Filled With Happiness Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Modern Oval Punch, Nested Essentials Dies and Sale-a-bration Sunny Days Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 panels of Sunny Days DSP to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I colored a piece of Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon using a Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped the piece of ribbon around the layered panel adhering it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Shaded Spruce card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from the Filled With Happiness stamp set once in Shaded Spruce and once in Tuxedo Black. I cut the Shaded Spruce image out using the Nested Essentials Dies. I adhered the image to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I punched the center of the Tuxedo Black image out using the Modern Oval Punch. I colored the image using Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the colored image to the center of the rectangle image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Filled With Happiness stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the inside of the orange image from the Filled With Happiness stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the orange image from the Filled With Happiness stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days DSP 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.

Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Nature for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends and Happy Valentine’s Day. How is everyone doing today? Is anyone doing anything for Valentine’s Day? It’s Wednesday, so I’ll be working.

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 #204 is Winter Warmth. 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! Encircled In Nature 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Nature Bundle (available March 5th) along with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I was inspired by the pine trees in the photo along with the color scheme for my Clean & Layered card today. 

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 204.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the branch circle from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set on a Very Vanilla card front in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the center of the circle out using the Encircled In Nature Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Timber EF.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On another panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the rounded tree image and the tall tree image from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the moon and stars image from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink between the trees. I adhered the embossed card front to the stamped Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Mossy Meadow I cut the tree images using the Encircled In Nature Dies. From a panel of Crumb Cake, I cut the foliage image using the Encircled In Natures Dies. I adhered the die cut images to the bottom of the branch circle using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. I adhered the bow to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the tree images from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

This can be anything that Stampin’ Up! sells that could be used as an adhesive!  And for the adhesives that are $5 or under, two packs will equal one choice (see the items with the (2) on the list below) so if you select those, you’ll get double, YAY!!

***Please note, if your order is over $150, do not apply a host code.  If you apply a host code to your order, it will take away your host benefits and we don’t want that!  But don’t worry, you’ll still be eligible for the free gift and free adhesive offer!

I’ll be placing the order for the adhesives with my host orders on February 16th, so please be sure to send your selections right away when you order…otherwise I’ll pick one for you and send it out with your thank you gift!

*With Stampin’ Up!’s new backorder policy where numbers are turned off for ordering if they go on backorder, if the adhesive that you pick is turned off for ordering when I place the order on the 16th, I’ll order Stampin’ Dimensionals for you instead.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses in Pink

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did you watch the game last night? My husband went out and was watching the game at a friend’s house. Since it wasn’t on, I missed all the commercials which is my favorite part.

I have a quick card for you today using the Watercolor Pencils. I do like coloring with them to give my cards a different look. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set and Sale-a-bration Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Most Adored DSP card front to a Flirty Flamingo card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. 

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I colored the image using Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green Watercolor Pencils. I lightly went over the image to blend the color with the Water Painter. I adhered the artwork to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered a piece of silver Simply Elegant Trim to the back of the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few silver Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On he inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the small rose image and the large leaf image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the panel. I colored the images using Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green Watercolor Pencils. I lightly went over the images with the Water Painter to blend the color. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pebbled Path mat then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green Watercolor Pencils and lightly going over the image with my Water Painter. I adhered a panel of Most Adored DSP to the envelope flap.

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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.

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

“Stuck on You Valentine” Ordering Special!

For all orders of $50 or greater (before shipping and taxes) that have my Current Host Code T9JKA3XQ applied or for individual orders of $150 or greater placed through me between now and Wednesday, February 14, you’ll get your choice of a free adhesive! You MUST remember to add my Host Code to your orders.

This can be anything that Stampin’ Up! sells that could be used as an adhesive!  And for the adhesives that are $5 or under, two packs will equal one choice (see the items with the (2) on the list below) so if you select those, you’ll get double, YAY!!

The adhesive will be in addition to the normal thank you gift that I order for you!!  Plus, since your order will be over $50, you’ll earn Sale-A-Bration item(s) too.  A big double YAY for more free goodies!!

***Please note, if your order is over $150, do not apply a host code.  If you apply a host code to your order, it will take away your host benefits and we don’t want that!  But don’t worry, you’ll still be eligible for the free gift and free adhesive offer!

Here is a list of the adhesives that you can pick from:

  • Adhesive Sheets
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive
  • Stampin’ Seal
  • Stampin’ Seal Refill
  • Stampin’ Seal +
  • Stampin’ Seal + Refill
  • Fine-Tip Glue Pen
  • Silicone Craft Sheet (even though it’s not an adhesive…it is an awesome tool for adhesives!)
  • Foam Adhesive Strips
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Black Stampin’ Dimensionals Combo Pack
  • Foam Adhesive Sheets
  • Cling Adhesive
  • Heat & Stick Powder

I’ll be placing the order for the adhesives with my host orders on February 16th, so please be sure to send your selections right away when you order…otherwise I’ll pick one for you and send it out with your thank you gift!

*With Stampin’ Up!’s new backorder policy where numbers are turned off for ordering if they go on backorder, if the adhesive that you pick is turned off for ordering when I place the order on the 16th, I’ll order Stampin’ Dimensionals for you instead.

Stampin’ Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You

Good Sunday afternoon stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Are you ready for the big game tonight? I’ll be in my craft studio trying to create some cards. I listen and watch for the commercials mainly, I’m not a big football fan and it’s not my husband’s team playing so it’ll be fairly quiet here.

Today’s card is a quick and easy one using a New Online Exclusive set coming in March and some Sale-a-bration items that are only available until February 29th or while supplies last. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sweetly Scripted Cling Stamp Set (available March 5) along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Softly Sophisticated Bundle and Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on Basic White card front. I embossed the panel using the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder. 

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the bottom of the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Sale-a-bration Pool Party 5/8″ Crinkled Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. 

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I added a few of the Sale-a-bration Opaque Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sale-a-bration Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticate Photopolymer Stamp Set in gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the larger flower image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flowers from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the envelope flap.
