Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re already halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. I know this was a short week for some because of the weather. It’s a normal week for me, even though we got a lot of snow, the store was open Monday morning, just a couple hours later than normal to give everyone time to get in.

Today’s card I let the DSP do all the work for me. I love the Stampin’ Up! DSP, it gives me colors to use and makes card fronts all by itself. I did do a little bit of work on my card, but this adorable paper just made my whole card for me.  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.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the adorable Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper along with the Stampin’ Up! Layer’s of Beauty Stamp Set, Everyday Arches Dies, Stampin’ Up! Extraordinary Flora Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Stamp Set for my card today.

Cut the sentiment out using the Everyday Arches Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front and trim off the excess with snips.

Adhere the layered card front to an Old Olive card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!! Happy JUNE!!! June used to be such a busy time of the year with the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. Both my kids are in their 20’s now. so it’s not as busy as it used to be. Does anyone have any plans for this weekend? I’ll be working in the office today since it’s the 1st of the month. My plan is to go in early so I can finish up early and enjoy the rest of the weekend, especially since it’s supposed to be a nice one here in NJ.

For today’s card I have a class coming up on Tuesday and one of the ladies requested to make one of the cards I made a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, with having 7 or 8 ladies here it isn’t possible, so I tried to come up with an alternative. 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! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Layers of Beauty Dies, Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #439.

I also played along with TGIF Theme Challenge #475 Happily Ever After.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the leaves on the image in Lost Lagoon and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the daisy centers with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut the image out using the Layers of Beauty Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I added Petal Pink Ink using a Blending Brush in the center of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Exposed Brick 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Lost Lagoon, I cut the leaves out using the Layers of Beauty Dies. I adhered the large floral image to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves using Liquid Glue under the large floral image. I added a few Petal Pink Foiled Gems to the card front.

I colored the image using Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

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 – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

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! Layering Leaves Monochromatic

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Were you able to enjoy some time outside? I was in all weekend, between working, the storms and the heat & humidity, I wanted nothing to do with outside. I did have to take Coraline for multiple walks though. For some reason when I’m home, she seems to need me to take her out walking every couple hours. When she’s home with my husband and daughter she sleeps all day.

I have a quick card for you today that could be a wedding card, an anniversary card, a birthday card or anything else you want to celebrate with someone. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Gorgeous Garden Dies, 2″ Circle Punch and Bough Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Basic White card front using the Gorgeous Garden Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut card front to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On panels of Basic White, I stamped 2 leaf images and the flower image from the Layering Leaves stamp set 2 times each in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Bough Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and flowers under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Gue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Layereing Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the 2nd set of leaves and flowers to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and flower images from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I got out of work early yesterday and was able to enjoy a beautiful day until the thunderstorms rolled in around 6:30pm. This was Coraline’s first thunderstorm, and she did much better than I expected. She only barked a little at the thunder. I’ll be at the dog bakery all day today, which is ok since it’s supposed to be much cooler than yesterday.

Today’s card uses a bundle that will be carrying over to the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. The stamp set and dies will be available separately not as a bundle. If this is one of the bundles that you’ve been undecided about getting, now’s a great time to grab it while you can still get the bundle price. Here’d my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Bundle along with the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Sun Prints DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Sun Prints DSP to the top of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the fern image from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Night of Navy cardstock twice. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment and images out using the Natural Prints Dies. I cut the sprig die cut pieces from a panel of Brushstroke Specialty Paper using the Natural Prints Dies.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the fern and floral images to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment on top of the fern using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the floral/fern images from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Gray Granite and Night of Navy Inks on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

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

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 – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

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! Ringed With Nature Layered Anniversary

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any fun plans? I have off today, and we have a couple visitors coming over to meet Coraline. My plans other than that is to hopefully get to my card table for a bit.

My card today I made while I was virtually attending my Open Stamp Night with my team members. Every month we have an open stamp night where we can get together virtually and stamp or just chat with each other. It’s always a lot of fun getting together from all over the United States. We have members that live on the east coast, west coast and center US. Since everyone lives all over, this is the best way we could get together every month. I’d love for you to join in with us, it’s a lot of fun. Interested? Ask me how. Here’s today’s card.

Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature Bundle along with the Sale-a-bration Rings of Love Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is this week’s sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of Rings of Love DSP to an Evening Evergreen card bases. I embossed a panel of Vellum paper using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front. On a strip of Parakeet Party cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set in Parakeet Party Ink. I adhered the strip to the card front on the Vellum panel.

Using the tree Rings Dies and Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder, I cut a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. I took the largest tree ring die and brushed Soft Suede Ink around the edge using my Spong Dauber. I adhered the die to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Evening Evergreen cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 2 of the thinner leaf dies from the Tree Rings Dies from a panel of Parakeet Party cardstock, I cut one of the larger leaf dies from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I adhered the leaf dies just under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I colored the berries on one of the sprig Textural Elements using my Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the sprig on top of the leaves just under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the tree ring image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the tree rings. I stamped the heart image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on top of the sentiment. I stamped the leaf image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Suede mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree ring image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in soft Suede Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I stamped the heart image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on top of the tree ring image. I stamped the leaf image in Parakeet Party next to the tree ring. I adhered a panel of Rings of Love DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.
