If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Bundle along with the Country Lace Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set for m y card today. All these products will be available starting May 1.

My design is from Try a Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #644

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Country Lace DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Country Lace DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the teapot image form the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled path Ink. Using a mask I cut from a Post-It note, I covered the teapot and stamped the stool image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I colored the image using Pecan Pie and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. On another piece of Basic Whtie, I stamped the flower image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I colored the image using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the flower image out using the Country Flowers Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Beige mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flowers on top of the teapot using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest circle from the Everyday Details Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Basic Beige Ink over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Country Lace DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Lace 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.

My January 2024-2025 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share and Ribbon share from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 1st. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of May 13th. You can order just the DSP share or just the ribbon share or you can order both.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $63.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

Double DSP Share – $130.00 + $9.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

New Ribbon Share – $20.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic CAS

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend. It was a beautiful day here in NJ yesterday. I believe that spring will be arriving soon.

I have a super quick CAS card for you today using one of my favorite sets from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog that will be retiring at the end of the month along with the 2022-2024 In-Colors that will also be retiring. 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! Season Of Chic CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. This is one of my absolute favorite set from the catalog and I’ll be sad to see it go.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #630. I turned mine sideways for the sketch.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the swish image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet on a Basic White card front.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the outline flower image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet next to the coordinating swish images. I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the card front.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White card front to a Starry Sky mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the swish image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the outline flower image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the envelope front. I stamped the swish image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Panels

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well. It was busier than I expected yesterday at work. Other than being cold, it turned out to be a nice day and everyone was in buying their mulch and fertilizer.

Today’s card is one that we made at our OnStage After Hours in TX last month. We got to choose a bundle to preorder and get the first night we were there and create cards with it. They had all the ink and cardstock waiting at tables for us. I only made 1 of the 3 cards designs we were able to make. A lot of us were too exhausted from the flight to stay and stamp. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Cling Stamp Set (which will be available starting May 1st) for my card today along with 3 of the 5 New 2024-2026 In-Colors (also available starting May 1st).

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the large citrus image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Pretty In Pink Ink on a panel of Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie Ink on a panel of Peach Pie and Petunia Pop Ink on a panel of Petunia Pop.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 3 stamped panels to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips. I tied a bow using the White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2024-2026 In-Color Shimmer Gem to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large citrus image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Peach Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller citrus image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink on the envelope front and 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! Loveliest Tree Sympathy

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans n the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m guessing it’s going to be another slow day because of the weather. We had something different here in NJ happen yesterday. About 10 miles from my house, we had a 4.8 earthquake. It scared the living daylights out of me. There was a loud boom and my whole house shook. I didn’t know what was happening. I live in NJ to avoid those kinds of things. We didn’t have any damage. Later on around dinner time we had a 4.0 aftershock. Once again, my whole house shook. That’s enough now for a lifetime. I have to admit, that scared me almost as much as 911.

I have a sneak peek for you today using some new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog along with some retiring product. We made this card at our Stamp Camp card class last week. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Bundle (available May 1st) along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Deckled Circles Dies and retiring Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP using the Timber 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Copper Clay mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a NEW Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink. I cut the image out using the Loveliest Tree Dies. From a panel of Copper Clay, I cut the circle using the Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the die cut tree to the Deckled Circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Circles Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Hope You Know stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Basic Beige Ink over the tree. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog Paper and Ribbon Shares

Good Friday morning stamping friends. This week just flew right by for me, I’m still back at Monday or Tuesday. I’m hoping to be back later with a card for you.

My 2024-2025 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share and Ribbon share from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 1st. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of May 13th. You can order just the DSP share or just the ribbon share or you can order both.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $63.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • 2023-2025 In Color Designer Series Paper (10)

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! Notes of Nature 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 Color Challenge.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Notes Of Nature Field Notes 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature Cling Stamp Set along with the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today. This stamp set will be retiring at the end of the month, but the DSP will be carrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.

There are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Notes Of Nature Field Notes 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a smaller panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Pebbled Path 3/8″ Textured Ribbon around the card front and adhered it on the back using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Notes Of Nature Field Notes 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a smaller panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Notes Of Nature Field Notes 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Small Blending Brush and Pecan Pie Ink, I added ink to a panel of Basic White. I stamped the Field Notes sentiment from the Notes of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the Basic White panel. I tore the edges around the stamped image. I adhered the torn panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a leaf from the Nature’s Sweetness DSP and adhered it under the panel using Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Notes Of Nature Field Notes 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Notes of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the splatter image from the Notes of Nature stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the panel. I cut out a few of the leaves from the Nature’s Sweetness DSP and adhered them to the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pebbled Path mat then t the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Notes Of Nature Field Notes 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the field notes image from the Notes of Nature stamp set on the envelope front in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the splatter image from the Notes of Nature stamp set in Pecan Pie on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Hooray for Honeycomb

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re already halfway through the week. It’s been a rainy one here in NJ so far. I know April showers bring May flowers, but with all the rain we had in March my flowers are drowning.

Stampin’ Up! has a couple new kits. When we were at OnStage last month, one of our prizes was one of the new kits. I’m not a kit person, but I put this one together (giving it a couple of my own touches) and it was a lot of fun. Here’s my cards for today.

This is everything that comes in the kit. It’s an all-inclusive kit. There are 3 of each design card in the kit.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

The sentiment was pre-stamped on the balloon. I adhered the balloon to the card front in the center of the other balloons using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a White Baker’s Twine bow and an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the balloon

I adhered the balloon honeycomb to the center of the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink.

The kit comes with coordinating envelopes.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

The sentiment was pre-stamped on the banner, I just added the Granny Apple Green banner under the Basic White banner using Glue Dots then added the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the sentiment.

This card said to put the strawberry honeycomb on the front of the card. If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to mail it, so I put it on the inside. for the leafy part of the strawberry, I scored them in half so they would fold easily with the card. I stamped the sentiment from So Sincere stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the inside.

The sentiments came pre-stamped on the clouds. I adhered the sunrays to the card front first using Glue Dots then added the clouds in front of the rays using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the larger cloud.

I added the sun honeycomb to the center of the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment on the inside in Blueberry Bushel Ink.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and might be thinking about getting this kit. These cards are great for the end of the school year, if you have someone graduating or you just want to give that little card of encouragement. I had these 3 cards together in about 15 minutes even with adding my little extras. Happy Stamping!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   GVPUUBAZ

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.

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

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.

Basics Embossing Powders Sold Out Until Later This Year

Stampin’ Up! posted an update to let us know that the Basics Embossing Powders are sold out and won’t be returning until some time this fall.  Here are the details from the update:

“We are in the process of switching manufacturers for our Basics Embossing Powders (item 155554). When we began this transition, North America selling trends indicated we had enough inventory to last through the end of the 2023–2024 Annual Catalog sales period. Since then, selling trends have shifted. The powders have been very popular, causing us to sell out far faster than anticipated. As much as we appreciate a high-selling item, it does create complications in this instance, as we’re currently out of Basics Embossing Powders in North America. As a result, we are discontinuing item 155554 for our North American market.   

We will re-introduce the Basic Embossing Powders in the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, but they’ll be under a different item number.  Unfortunately, we anticipate that the new embossing powders will not arrive until fall. This means there will be some time North American customers can see the powders in our catalog but not be able to purchase them until they arrive. 

We apologize for any complications this transition may create. Thank you for your patience as we eagerly await our new line of powders.”

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.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers

Good Monday morning stamping friends Happy April and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? Did you all have a nice Easter?

Today’s card I played with something different for me. I mixed up some retiring p9roducts with some that’s carrying over and some new. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelope pack along with the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Bundle, 2″ Circle Punch and Stampin’ Up! Flower Cart Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. These cards & envelope pack will be retiring at the end of the month. I’ve never used them before and I don’t know why, it made such an elegant card.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by coloring the roses on the front of the Gold Foiled Flowers card base using the new 2024-2026 In-Color Pretty Ink Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Using the Stippled Roses Dies, I cut the flowers from a panel of Pretty Ink Pink and the leaves from a panel of Shy Shamrock (both of these colors will be available starting May 1st). I adhered the flowers to the leaves using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered a piece of Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves with the flowers under the sentiment using Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Flower Cart stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Pretty In Pink and shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pretty In Pink mat then to the inside of the Gold Foiled Flowers card base.

To finish my card, I decorated the Very Vanilla envelope that comes with the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes. 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 Pretty In Pink and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. The envelope flap was already die cut.
