Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a nice weekend. It’s a rainy cool one here in NJ. Luckily my plans for the weekend are all inside. Today Tara and I will run our June Online Class. We always enjoy stamping with everyone that joins in.

I did a little emboss resist technique for today’s card. I haven’t done that in a while, and I thought the new background stamp coming with the July Online Exclusives was a perfect one to use for it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Foliage Stamp Set (available July 1), Stampin’ Up! Sending Salutations Stamp Set, Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper and the Circle Punches for my card today.

My sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #742

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the leaf image from Sweet Foliage stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Using the Blending Brush, go over the entire panel with Peaceful Pine Ink. Wipe gently with a tissue when you’ve added the amount of color you want, to take any ink off the embossed parts. Adhere the panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the front of the Basic White card base.

Adhere a panel of Flirty Flamingo under a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. Adhere the layered panel to the card front. Adhere a Floral Flight Accent to the card front.

From a panel of Basic White cut a circle using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. From a panel of Peaceful Pine cut a circle using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. From a panel of Flirty Flamingo cut a circle using the 2″ Circle Punch. Stamp the sentiment from the Sending Salutations stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the 1 3/4″ circle. Adhere the Basic White circle to the Peaceful Pine circle then to the Flirty Flamingo circle. Adhere the layered circles to the card front over the Floral Flight Accents with Stampin’ Dimensonals.

Stamp the sentiment from Sending Salutations stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the sentiment from Sending Salutations stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Starting June 30, New Join Experience

Beginning June 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM MT, Stampin’ Up! is introducing a simplified join process designed to make joining faster and easier than ever before!  The new process will create a more streamlined experience when you join!  

As part of the new join process, all first-time demonstrators (beginning June 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM MT) will receive a surprise Welcome Box—a gesture of appreciation and a warm welcome into the global Stampin’ Up! creative community!

How the New Process Works

Step 1: Join

New demonstrators will:

1. choose a team leader.
2. accept required agreements.
3. enter a few personal details.
4. pay the $100 join fee.
5. click submit.

Step 2: Shop

Once their information has been reviewed and approved (usually very quickly), their Welcome Box ships, and the new demonstrator receives an email with:

• their demonstrator ID.
• a coupon code to begin shopping.

About the Coupon Code

• Valued at $125.
• Coupon code can be applied to any demonstrator order.
• Order CAN exceed the coupon code value (I know that many people wanted the option to be able to add more than $125 to their Starter Kit!).
• Any amount above the coupon code value:
  • receives the demonstrator discount.
  • counts toward the quarterly sales minimum.
  • earns Stampin’ Rewards if it meets the qualifying purchase amount (as long as you’ve opted into the Stampin’ Rewards program).

Additional perk for new demonstrators

• New demonstrators may add eight free catalogs to any order!

Let me know if you have any questions about the new joining process.  I’m so happy that you’ll now have the option to go over the $125 amount AND that it will automatically count toward your sales! 

Why not start thinking about joining the Stampin’ Up! community. I’d love to have you on my team and July is the perfect time to sign up. Contact me at: creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. We’re a very relaxed team that loves to create and share.
