Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday. WOW!! We’re already halfway through July, where is the time going.  I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. I decided to play with the Hot Foil System live last night and it went better than I expected. This new system is so much fun to play with. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Sentimental Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweetly Sentimental Bundle and Swiss Dot Hot Foil Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Sentimental Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Hot Foil System with Light Pink Foil and the Swiss Dot Die, foil 3 panels of Basic White. Adhere the foiled panels to Strawberry Slush mats.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Sentimental Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere one of the layered panels to the left side of the Secret Sea card front. Adhere the larger layered panel to the back of the Secret Sea card base.

Adhere the last layered panel to the front of the small Secret Sea card front. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the large, detailed flower image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Stamp the large solid flower image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image. Stamp the smaller solid flower images from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink over the detailed image. Stamp the solid leaf images from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink over the detailed images. Fussy cut the flower using Detail Scissors. Adhere the flower to the front of the small card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Hot Foil the sentiments from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies with the Light Pink Foil on a panel of Secret Sea Two-Tone cardstock. Cut the sentiments out using the Sweetly Sentimental Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.

Adhere a strip of the Hot Foiled Swiss Dot Basic White panel to a Basic White panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Strawberry Slush mat then to the inside of the small Secret Sea card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the large rose image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the large fill in rose image in Strawberry Slush, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the other solid flower image in Strawberry Slush and the leaves in Granny Apple Green Inks. Adhere a panel of 2025-2027 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Introducing the hottest items in crafting—the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System!!

The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE STAMPIN’ HOT FOIL SYSTEM?

This is everything included in the Stampin’ Hot Foil System & Craft Class:

  • Metallic Magic Craft Class ($30 value—limited time only!)
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil platform
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Shim & Spacer
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Magnetic Pick-Up Tool
  • Silicone platform station
  • Silicone cooling pad
  • Power cord
  • Instructions on how to use the system

The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (the foil itself), and Hot Foil dies and bundles are sold separately.

CRAFT CLASS

As an added bonus, everyone who purchases this system before January 4, 2027, will automatically be able to access the upcoming Metallic Magic Craft Class, a technique-centric virtual class. Attendees will make unique projects and learn crafting tips intended to elevate their hot foil crafting experience. This class is a special limited-time offer exclusive to this system and is an amazing tool when it comes to increasing skills, learning techniques, and making the most of this new product line.

You can see more details about the system, find the bundles and foil that will be available to order beginning on Friday, July 10 in this brochure:

A few notes about the new system:

  • Hot Foil results are best with either White Willow or Two-Tone Cardstock.  Smoother card stocks like the Two-Tone Cardstock and White Willow will achieve the best results when using the system, but you can use the regular card stocks too.
  • The Hot Foil System, foil rolls and new hot foil dies and bundles will be available Friday, July 10, 2026 in the online Stampin’ Up! store.
  • A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you do!).  You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.
  • The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160. Dies & foil are sold separately.
  • Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock.  So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!
  • IMPORTANT NOTE:  Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling.  You cannot die cut using foiling dies.  Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

I’m so excited for you all to be able to order this new system!  Head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store beginning July 10 to see and order the new system!

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Fun Fold”. 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! Fun For Fall Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fun For Fall Bundle, Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and the Everyday Essentials Mix & Match Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fun For Fall Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss 2 panels of Darling Duckling using the Sunflower EF. Swipe across the embossed panels using the White Craft Stamp Pad. Adhere the panels to the Early Espresso card base. Adhere a panel of Everyday Essentials DSP to the Early Espresso bridge panel. Using the Bone Folder, curve the layered panel from the back. Adhere the layered panel to the bottom of the card front. Adhere a panel of the Everyday Essentials DSP to the panel of Early Espresso. Score the DSP where the Early Espresso is scored. Adhere the layered panel to the card front , lining up the score lines of the smaller panel and card base.

Stamp the sentiment from the Fun For Fall stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the flag. Stamp the crow image from the Fun For Fall stamp set in Black Ink. Color the images using Crumb Cake, Darling Duckling, Golden Glow, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, Poppy Parade, Old Olive and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Fun For Fall Dies, cut all the images out. Fold the 2 – 1″ pieces of Early Espresso in half and adhere them with folded edges against the score line of the center panel. Adhere the scarecrow to the 2 folded panels. Adhere the haystack, sunflowers and flag to the card front. Adhere the crow to the scarecrow’s hand with a Glue Dot. Add a few Earthy Matte Dots to the card front

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony Pastel CAS

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. Our heat wave is over now we’re back to cool and rainy. We are in desperate need of the rain.

Today’s card I used a different technique that I haven’t done in a while. I’m going to be doing this one along with 3 other techniques tonight at my in person class.  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! Nature's Symphony Pastel CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Pastel CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using a Clear Block, dip it first in Lemon Lolly Ink. Using the Stampin’ Spritzer, spritz the block from about 8″ away. Stamp the block on a panel of Basic White. Using a Clear Block again, dip it in Barely Blush Ink. Using the Stampin’ Spritzer, spritz the block from about 8″ away. Stamp the block on the panel of Basic White above the Lemon Lolly stamp. Repeat this again with the Barely Blush, stamping below the Lemon Lolly stamp.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Pastel CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the large leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink across the inked images. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat. Adhere the layered panel to a Barely Blush card base.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Pastel CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on a panel of Basic White. Fussy cut the sentiment using Detailed Scissors. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2026-2028 In-Color Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Pastel CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the large leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Adhere the Basic Whtie panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat then to the inside of the Barely Blush card base.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Pastel CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the large leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday.  I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live last night. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fun For Fall Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Fun For Fall Bundle (available July 1), along with the 2026-2028 In-Color Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper and Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fun For Fall Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere panels of Gingham Gallery DSP to the 1st, 3rd and 5th section of the Crisp Cantaloupe card base. Emboss the 2 panels of Crisp Cantaloupe with the leaf EF from the Seasonal Cheer Mini EF. Adhere the embossed panels to the front of the side step panels. Adhere the side step panels to the sides of the card base, adhering them to the bottom front and the back of the 2nd folded panel.

Stampin' Up! Fun For Fall Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the scarecrow, crows and banner images from the Fun For Fall stamp set in Black Ink. Color the images with Basic Black(crows), Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Crumb Cake, Golden Glow, Granny Apple Green, Hydrangea Hue, Ivory and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the images out using the Fun For Fall Dies. Using the same dies, cut the corn stalks from a panel of Peaceful Pine, corn from a panel of Lemon Lolly and fence from a panel of Pecan Pie. Stamp the bales of hay in Golden Glow Ink on a panel of Golden Glow and cut them out using the Fun For Fall Dies. Using Blending Brushes, add Balmy Blue to the top of a Basic White panel and Granny Apple Green to the bottom of the panel. Arrange and adhere the die cut pieces to the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to the front of the center step section. Adhere the center step to the bottom of the 2nd folded section and the back of the card base.

Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous and fun new Papers in the upcoming July 2026 Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Papers from the Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the papers from the Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $90.00 plus shipping.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!

If you’d like double shares of the paper, I’m offering those too! I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

Anyone is welcome to join in my shares (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  To make ordering the shares a little easier, I have created a form for you to submit, that way you can order any combination of shares you want. Click Here for the form.

Starting July 1, New Joining 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.

Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Lighthouse for The Card Concepts

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. We made it home safely from the Incentive trip, now to get back to normal life.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #228a is Summer By The Sea. There are 2 Inspiration Photos this month, the other is #228b Christmas in July. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Lighthouse 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Bundle and the Scenic Coast 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the overall theme along with the lighthouses and colors in the photo for my Clean & Layered Card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 228a & 228b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Lighthouse 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Hydrangea Hue to the Night of Navy card base. Using the Everyday Arches Dies, cut a panel of Night of Navy with the 2nd largest die and a panel of Scenic Coast DSP with the 3rd largest die. Adhere the die cut DSP panel to the Night of Navy die cut panel. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Trim the lighthouse from the circle. Adhere the lighthouse to the bottom of the die cut DSP so the bottom edges are even, with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the starfish and shells along the bottom of the die cut arches. Adhere the birds in the sky.

Sign up for our Velvet Meadow Online Class is Open for Registration

Tara and I are teaming up to offer a fun Online Class using most of the Stampin’ Up! Velvet Meadow Suite.  We will be creating 6 different cards during the class including 2 Fun Fold cards. Click Here to register.

The class fee includes:

  • Peaceful Pine Simmer Brush
  • Pre-cut card kits to complete each card
  • Zoom class with complete instructions to complete each card

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 Flowering Meadow Bundle is already discounted, the discount does not apply to that.

July Online Exclusive Product Share

I’m offering a small product share from the upcoming July Online Exclusives. I’m offering a Paper Share and/or an Embellishment & Ribbon Share. If you click on the image below you can open the flyer with the products coming in July.

I’m offering a Paper Share and a Ribbon & Embellishment Share from the July 2026 Online Exclusives, and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on July 1st and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of July 6th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous and fun new Papers in the upcoming July 2026 Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Papers from the Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the papers from the Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $90.00 plus shipping.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $10.50 plus $7.00 for shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Frightfully Fun (6)
  • Frightfully Fun Two-Tone Cardstock (6)
  • Spooktacular (6×6) (4)
  • 2026-2028 In-Color Gingham (5)
  • A Stitched Season (6)
  • Violet Dreams Specialty (5)

If you’d like double shares of the paper, I’m offering those too! I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

Double Paper Share – $21.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping

Ribbon/Embellishment Share – $12.50 plus $7.00 Shipping

All ribbons and Embellishments will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Black 3/8″ Iridescent Ribbon
  • Fresh Freesia 1/4″ Satin Ribbon
  • Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Ribbon
  • Adhesive-Backed Bats Ghosts & Dots (30)
  • Adhesive-Backed Blooms (15)
  • Adhesive-Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (10)

Double Ribbon & Embellishment Share – $25.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping and you will be getting 1/2 of the roll of each ribbon.

Anyone is welcome to join in my shares (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  To make ordering the shares a little easier, I have created a form for you to submit, that way you can order any combination of shares you want. Click Here for the form. I will send out PayPal Invoices on or around June 27th with a due date by June 30th.

Deadline to sign up for my share is Saturday June 27th at 5:00 PM ET.

Good Thursday morning stamping friends 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 the awesome projects they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Theme Challenge to work with. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Sailing 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Bundle, Scenic Coast 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper, Sunset Shimmer Vellum Specialty Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

This is our theme for this week

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Sailing 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Scenic Coast DSP to a Blueberry Bushel card base. Using the Sunset Coast Dies, cut the sunburst die from a panel of Sunset Shimmer Vellum and the sailboat & birds from a panel of Blueberry Bushel. Using Paper Snips, trim the sailboat off the die cut panel.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Sailing 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the starburst die to the card front. Adhere the sailboat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the birds and waves to the card front

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Sailing 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Sunset Sparkle Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Sailing 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Scenic Coast DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. Stamp the sailboat images from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Blueberry Bushel on top of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Crushed Curry mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Sailing 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the large water image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front and flap. Stamp the small water image in Crushed Curry Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper on the envelope front and flap. Stamp the sailboat images in Blueberry Bushel Ink and the cave in Pecan Pie Ink.
