Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Joy Fold for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends!! Are you ready for the weekend? It’s the last day of January so I’ll be heading into the office at one point today to close everything up for the month, then it’s back first thing in the morning to print and send out all the bills.

I have a joy fold for you today using some Online Exclusive products and a bundle that’s carrying over from the last mini catalog. This is one of those cards that I made with a specific person in mind that I’m going to mail it to. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

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.

Sale-a-bration Ends in 1 Month

Hello, stamping friends, this is my 2nd post today. If you are looking for my card, you can find it here.

One month from today Sale-a-bration and the great joining special will end. Don’t wait until the last minute to join. Have you ever considered becoming a Stampin’ Up! hobby demonstrator? You can join just to enjoy the minimum 20% discount for yourself. If you place orders and love the wonderful Stampin’ Up! coordinating products, why not get the discount? Did you know you even get the discount on sale products and specials that Stampin’ Up! has, like when you purchase a bundle you get 10% off the bundle AND you get your 20% discount on top of that. When they have their DSP sale or bundle sale, you get your discount on top of those prices. Being a demonstrator means you get to attend the events with everyone else. Events are for ALL demos not just the business demos. If you find that being a demonstrator isn’t for you, you can just go back to being a customer without any penalty or having to return anything. Becoming a demonstrator was the best decision I ever made. I’ve made friends from all over that I get together with in person and via zoom. Why not join today and start enjoying that discount right away!!!

JOIN

Sale-A-Bration is an excellent time you to join Stampin’ Up!  In addition to the already great value of the Starter Kit, if you sign up as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator during Sale-a-bration, you can choose from two incredible options:

Option 1: Join Stampin’ Up! during Sale-a-bration as a new demonstrator and get $125 worth of products PLUS a choice of 2 Stampin’ Write Marker Assortments AND the Handmade Designs Cling Stamp Set, an exclusive stamp set designed to work with the markers. That’s a $216 value all for just $99!

Option 2: Join Stampin’ Up! during Sale-A-Bration and get $125 worth of product PLUS an additional $30 worth of product of your choice for just $99. That’s a $155 value!

Two joining options so you can pick the one that you like the best!! 

There is never an obligation to sell. You can join just to enjoy the discount for yourself along with all the other Demonstrator benefits. Once you join, you’ll get at least a 20% discount on all of your Stampin’ Up! merchandise purchases and you get to order early from the upcoming catalogs!  You will also be able to attend the OnStage Events and any other events Stampin’ Up! has and you get to be a part of our Stampin’ Up! team!  

Unsure about this and want to talk? Contact me at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and we can talk. You can also find additional information Here at Join My Team. Being a part of the Stampin’ Up! Community is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I have made many friends along the way while doing what I love, Paper Crafting. This Joining offer is only good during Sale-a-bration which starts January 7 and ends on February 28.

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! Spotlight on Nature Wedding

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started off well.

I have a wedding card for you today. I did used a couple items that are on the last chance list (which I don’t normally do), but they worked well with this card. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature Wedding 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set, Textured Florals Dies and Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature Wedding 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the large floral image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Blackberry Bliss. Sprinkle the image using White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the embossed image to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature Wedding 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White and Brushed Gold Foil Specialty Paper, cut the leafy dies from the Textured Florals Dies. Adhere the die cut images to the card front using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature Wedding 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Cut the end on an angle using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a small bow using the Blackberry Bliss & Gold 1/2″ Textured Ribbon (on the last chance list) and adhere it to the card front using Glue Dots. Add a few Iridescent Foil Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature Wedding 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the floral image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamping off 4 times on scrap paper, on the side of the panel. Stamp the butterfly image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Versamark Ink above the sentiment. Sprinkle the image using Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the floral and butterfly images from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (on the last chance list) to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Fruit Salad Book Fold

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you weekend is going well. I had to work yesterday, and it was not a super busy day. It’s that time of year that if we don’t get snowy weather, it’s slow and you can’t do outside projects because it’s too cold. Today I have my first online class that my team member Tara and I are doing. I’m looking forward to getting together with all that signed up and stamping together. We’re hoping all goes well and we will be planning another one in late March.

I played with that fun pack of Sale-a-bration DSP today again along with one of my go-to sets from the annual catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Fruit Salad 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp set along with the Stylish Shapes Dies and Sale-a-bration Fruit Salad 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Fruit Salad 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Add Liquid Glue between the 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″ score lines on the inside of the card base to adhere the binder together to make a book fold card. Adhere a panel of Fruit Salad DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the outside of the card base, on the binder edge, using Liquid Glue. Wrap a piece of White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim around the end and tie a knot.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Fruit Salad 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a Fruit Salad DSP card front panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut a circle in the center of the card front. Adhere the 3″ X 3″ panel of Fruit Salad DSP to the center of the Granny Apple Green card base using Stampin’ Seal. Set the layered card front on the center of the card base and stamp the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in the center of the circle on the panel of DSP in Early Espresso Ink. Adhere the layered card front to the Granny Apple Green card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Fruit Salad 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using Paper Snips, cut a few of the pear images from the Fruit Salad DSP. Adhere the fussy cut pears to the card front using Glue Dots. Add a few Adhesive-Back Dots for Days to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Fruit Salad 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Adhere a couple of the fussy cut pear images from the Fruit Salad DSP to the panel using Liquid Glue. Adhere the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Fruit Salad 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Adhere a strip of Fruit Salad DSP to the envelope front along with another one of the fussy cut pear images. Adhere a panel of the Fruit Salad DSP to the envelope flap.

  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! Pick A Season for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning 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 Theme Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Pick A Season 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Pick A Season Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper and Starstruck Embossing Folder for my card today. All these products can be earned free with a qualifying purchase of $60. I also used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Handmade Designs Cling Stamp Set which is available as a joining special for new demonstrators that join now through February 28th.

Our theme this week is Sale-a-bration!!!

Stampin' Up! Pick A Season 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by embossing a Coastal Cabana card front using the Starstruck EF. Adhere a panel of Bloom Impressions DSP to the bottom of the panel using Liquid Glue. Adhere a strip of Blackberry Bliss in the middle of the card front using Liquid Glue. Adhere the card front to a Coastal Cabana card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Pick A Season 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut the 4th largest Everyday Arches Die from a panel of Basic White. Stamp the treetop image from the Pick A Season stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink towards the top of the die cut. Stamp the tree trunk image from Pick A Season stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Stamp the flower image from the Pick A Season stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink in the openings on the treetop. Stamp the grass image from the Pick A Season stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink.

Stampin' Up! Pick A Season 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Handmade Designs stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the stamped die cut to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Pick A Season 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Handmade Designs stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a strip of Bloom Impressions DSP to the bottom of the panel. Stamp the flower image from the Pick A Season stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the top of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Coastal Cabana card base.

Stampin' Up! Pick A Season 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Complete the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the tree image from the Pick A Season stamp set on the envelope front the same as on the card. Adhere a panel of Bloom Impressions 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.

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.
