Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you weekend is going well. Yesterday was a long day, but a very enjoyable one celebrating my son’s engagement. By the time I got home, I just wanted to crash.

Before I get started with my card, I want to thank all that participated in my fundraiser. Unfortunately, we did not make the goal of $500, but we did donate $235. Thank you so very much for being a part of raising money for the Texas flooding.

I did a fun technique for today’s card called the Spotlight Technique. I love doing this technique, it’s so easy and it brings your eye to one focal point. 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! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set, Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and the 1 7/8″ & 2″ Circle Punches for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch, punch out a section of the Beautiful Gallery DSP card front. Using the 2″ Circle Punch, punch out a section of the Secret Sea mat.

Color the punched-out section of the Beautiful Gallery DSP with Cloud Cover, Old Olive and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the colored panel to the 2″ Secret Sea mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front where you punched out the panel, lining up the flowers and stems, with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the pane of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Adhere a piece of Secret Sea 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon to the card front. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Pressed Flower Motifs to the sentiment.

Adhere a panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the side of the panel, coloring one of the flower images with Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin’ Up! Lifetime of Love

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans for the weekend in the work. I actually have off today. I’ll be spending the day celebrating my son and his fiancé at their engagement party. They are making a whole day of it at this quaint brewery. They wanted to keep it simple since that’s who they are. It will be a whole day of everyone coming and going and just getting together to celebrate and meet each other. We took care of ordering A LOT of pizzas. My daughter made about 80 cupcakes yesterday and they came out beautiful. I made caprese appetizer bites using my home-grown tomatoes and basil with a balsamic glaze. I’m looking forward to a fun day meeting everyone and it looks like the weather is going to cooperate with us.

So, since we have an engagement party, my daughter asked me if I would make a card for her to give them. That’s today’s card in the theme colors of the party. 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! Lifetime of Love Engagement 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lifetime of Love Cling Stamp Set along with the Lifetime of Love Dies, Party Banner Dies, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Beautiful Bokeh 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love Engagement 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Beautiful Bokeh DSP to a Lemon Lolly card base. Stamp the sentiment from Lifetime of Love stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom center of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love Engagement 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White, cut the Party Banner Die and emboss it using the Exposed Brick EF. Wrap a piece of 1/4″ White Ribbon around the top and tie a bow. Adhere the banner to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. On the panel of Basic White, stamp the small flower image from Lifetime of Love stamp set in early Espresso Ink. Color the image with Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love Engagement 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Lifetime of Love Dies, cut the flower image, the small leaf die from a panel of Shaded Spruce and the circle leaf die and tall leaf die from a panel of Soft Sea Foam. Adhere the circle leaf die cut to the banner. Adhere the flower die cut inside the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the tall leaf and small leaf die cuts under the flower with Glue Dots. Add a few Two-Tone Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love Engagement 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Lifetime of Love stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the flower image from the Lifetime of Love stamp set towards the bottom of the panel in early Espresso Ink.

Adhere the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Lemon Lolly card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the small flower image from the Lifetime of Love stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. Color the image the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Bokeh DSP to the envelope flap.

Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

As of last night, July 18th, we’re at $180 of the $500 to be donated. We can Do this!!!

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

As of last night, July 14th, we’re at $170 of the $500 to be donated. We can Do this!!!

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

  • For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.

    • Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

  • For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Mercury One and you’ll be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be give away on July 20th.

3. – Do Both!!

  • If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Yesterday turned out to be a nice day, once the humidity lifted. I was able to take my 2 pups for a walk after dinner and not work up a sweat.

Today’s card we made at our monthly team meeting on Tuesday night. Jaimie sent us all the measurements and talked us through the process of creating the card. Our cards were all similar but different. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Bundle along with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and 1 3/4″ Circle Punch for my card.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a panel of Fresh Freesia using the Eyelet EF. Using your Fresh Freesia stamp pad, swipe across the embossed panel to ink the raised images. Adhere the embossed panel to a Basic White mat with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Floral Impressions DSP to the bottom of the embossed panel with Liquid Glue. Wrap a piece of 1/4″ Misty Moonlight Ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Impressions Abloom Dies, cut 2 of the leaf dies from a panel of Pool Party and 6 tiny flowers from a panel of Fresh Freesia. Adhere the die cut leaves to the card front with Glue Dots. Adhere the tiny flowers on the leaves with Glue Dots. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the stem and leaf images from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the small, detailed flower image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink on the stems. Stamp the small, solid flower image over the detailed image in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Stamp the flower centers in Lemon Lolly Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the small flower image from the Impressions Abloom stamp set across the envelope front the same as you did for the inside of the card. Adhere a panel of Floral Impressions DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
