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

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.

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! Happy Hibiscus in Brights

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend. I can’t believe it’s the 15th of December already. There’s only 10 days left till Christmas, and I haven’t gotten my Christmas cards out yet or my shopping done, but my house is decorated and Christmas cookie baking got wrapped up last night. I have 2 cookies that need decorating today and the 2 bar cookies need their chocolate layer on top. I’ll take care of doing that this morning and hopefully tonight when my daughter gets home from work, we’ll start getting all the cookie trays done and ready to be delivered.

Today’s card is another one that we made last Sunday at our team meeting. This card was designed by my team member Nicolette Reiser. I changed mine up a little bit, or a lot. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus in Brights 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Happy Hibiscus Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Labels Cling Stamp Set (available January 7th) and Stampin’ Up! Labeled With Love Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus in Brights 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the solid flower image from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst and Melon Mambo Inks, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed images. Cut the flowers out using the Happy Hibiscus Die. Adhere the flowers to the card front around the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Cut the leaves from a panel of Granny Apple Green using the Happy Hibiscus Dies. Adhere the leaves under the flowers using Liquid Glue. Add a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flower centers.

Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and Online Exclusive Paper and Ribbon Shares are Open for Ordering

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you all have some fun plans in the works. I’m still in the kitchen baking away. I have a few more cookies to bake off today. It was so nice having my daughter helping me on Thursday and Friday. This was the first time in years that she was able to help.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. I’m elbow deep in cookie dough and baking away over here. I spent most of the day yesterday mixing all the cookie dough. I baked off the bar cookies that I make every year and today I’ll be shaping and dropping cookies and getting most of them baked.

My January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 7th and 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 January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the January Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $130.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $38.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 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!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6X6 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):

  • Beautiful Bokeh (6)
  • Floral Delight (6)
  • Floral Gingham Vellum (3)

  • Storybook Moments (6)
  • Timeless Plaid (12)
  • Wildflower Birthday (5)
  • Everyday Skies (12) Online Exclusive
  • Mixed Media Florals (6) Online Exclusive
  • Pastel Ombre Glimmer (3) Online Exclusive

In all, you’ll receive 65 – 6” X 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $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″ X 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 – $11.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon
  • Gold 1 1/2″ Open Weave Trim
  • Petal Pink 3/8″ Scalloped Ribbon
  • White 1/2″ Woven Ribbon Online Exclusive

Double Ribbon Share – $22.00 + $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon.

If you would like the Designer Series Paper Share & the Ribbon Share the cost will be:

$32.00 for a single share + $9.00 shipping

$64.00 for a double share + $9.00 shipping.

As a Thank You for joining in with my Shares, I’ll be adding a sampling of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper. I’m not sure which ones you’ll be getting yet, but there are 3 different one’s that will be available. Which one(s) you get will be a surprise.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Seasons for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ll be starting my baking on Thursday early morning and continue until I’m done, hopefully by Saturday. This year for the first time in quite a few years, my daughter will be able to bake with me. In the past she’s always had finals and would be studying, or when she was in high school, she would have a fencing event. I’m looking forward to having her by my side helping.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #212 is Christmas Wreath. 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! Peaceful Season 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Season Bundle, which is a Last Chance item, along with the Nature’s Paintings Kit and the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Cling Stamp Set for my Clean & Layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 212.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut down the panel from the Nature’s Paintings Kit to a 4″ X 5 1/2″ panel. Color the image using the Watercolor Pencils that come in the kit. Use the Water Painter that comes in the kit to blend the color and spread it around.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Cherry Cobbler, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the Peaceful Season Dies.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thread a piece of Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ Satin Ribbon through the die cut sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the ribbon to the back of the Nature’s Paintings panel using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the card front panel to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

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

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.

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.

Product List

Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and Online Exclusive Paper & Ribbon Shares Open for Ordering

My January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 7th and 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 January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the January Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $130.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $38.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 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!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $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″ X 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 – $11.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

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

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.

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.
