Stampin’ Up! Creative Haven for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends. I hope you all hd a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. The temperatures have dropped here in NJ. It was in the 30’s last night and my house just isn’t warming up today. I’m also too stubborn to ut the heat on yet.

I have a sneak peek for you of some new Online Exclusives coming in November. I just opened my box yesterday after I finished cutting up all my kits for my upcoming online class. I wasn’t letting myself look in the box because I knew what would happen. I kept the card super simple to let the DSP do most of the work. 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! Creative Haven Book Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives Creative Haven Bundle and the Hobby Haven Specialty Designer Series Paper (both available November 1st) for my card today.

Stampin’ Up! Peace On Earth

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend and Happy World Card Making Day!! I hope you have some plans in the works, maybe even making some cards to send out. I’ll be working all day today and as of now, I’m planning on digging up one of my gardens in the front of my house tomorrow. This garden was made because we couldn’t get grass to grow in that area. In the past year, the grass decided to grow in the garden to the point I couldn’t keep up with removing it. I’m giving in and letting the grass take over. Now I just have to find a new home for my 50+ bearded Iris bulbs.

I played with one of the suites from the mini catalog for today’s card. 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.

Adhere the sentiment to the Glimmer Paper mat with Stampin’ Seal. Brush the die cut dove using the Clear Wink of Stella. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Fluff the dove’s wings using a Bone Folder and adhere the dove to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Tie a bow using the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged 1/2″ Ribbon. Adhere the bow to the card front with a Glue Dot. Add a Hues of Blue Flowers to the card front.

October Delicate Pines Online Holiday/Winter Card Class Registration Open NOW

Tara Carpenter and I are teaming up to offer another fun online class using Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Delicate Pines Bundle along with the Snowflake Kisses Bundle and Elegant Pines DSP.  We will be creating 6 different Holiday/Winter cards during the class including 2 Beginner Stamper cards, 2 Casual Stamper Cards and 2 Advanced Stamper Cards.  Click Here to Reserve Your Spot

During sign up you will have the option to add additional items to your order that you can take advantage of at no additional shipping cost.  These items are optional, however if you want to recreate the cards you will need them. If you’ve attended a previous class, you were given a discount code, there is a spot to put that code on the form and the discount only applies to the products that you check off that you wish to purchase, not the class.  Since the Bundles are already discounted, the discount does not apply to them either.

I will email written directions that will include directions, cardstock cuts as well as photos to help you create each card.

The bundles are not included in the price of the class.  You can purchase the bundle through me at an additional 10% discount of the Online Exclusive price (see below).
