Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to m Fun Fold Friday. Since I fell behind because of focusing on my product shares, I spent all day yesterday undecorating my house from Christmas. My living room looks like I’m getting ready to move with all the boxes. There’s just a little bit more to get done and I’m hoping to work on it Sunday. Once everything is packed up it’ll be time to lug everything up to my room, I jump up into my attic and other’s hand me to boxes to put away for the next 10 months.

My card today is a simple fun fold using some new Online Exclusive products that just became available. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Winter Scenes for The Card Concepts

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ve been busy getting my product shares cut up and packaged. I’m hoping to head over to the post office after work today to get them sent out to everyone.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #223 is Cozy New Year. I used lots of layered on my card, since that is one of my favorite kinds of cards to make. 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! Winter Scenes Banner 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Winter Scenes Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Kisses Stamp Set, Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder, Party Banner Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today. I was inspired by the colors for my clean and layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 223.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Winter Scenes Banner 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Pecan Pie card base. Using the Party Banners Dies, cut the panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock. Emboss the banner using the Birch Wood EF, use a sanding block on the banner.

Stampin' Up! Winter Scenes Banner 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Wrap a piece of Linen Thread around the top of the banner and tie a bow. Adhere the banner to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the panel of Basic White. Stamp the cabin image form the Winter Scenes stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the die cut circle. Stamp the sentiment from the Snowflake Kisses stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the top of the die cut circle. Mask the image with a sticky note and add Pool Party Ink using the Small Blending Brush.

Stampin' Up! Winter Scenes Banner 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Color the image using Pecan Pie and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Go over the snowy areas using the Wink of Stella Brush. Adhere the artwork to the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Streaked Dot to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Winter Scenes Banner 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment form the Snowflake Kisses stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the panel of Basic White. Stamp the cabin image from the Winter Scenes stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the bottom of the panel. Mask and color the image the same as for the card front. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. How are you all doing today? I hope you’re getting your orders in for the new mini catalog and online exclusives. I got mine in bright and early yesterday morning for my product shares. I’ve got another one ready to go for things I forgot. I always seem to forget to order something.

I played with one of the new bundles and DSP from the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog for today’s card. I really love this suite; I can’t help but smile when I look at it. 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 for today.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony Masculine Card

Posted on by

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week and the last Monday of 2025. Another year just about gone and a new one to start in just a few days. How was your weekend? I didn’t do anything that I planned to do. I was going to spend time in my card studio getting some cards made and just enjoying some creative time. That did not happen. I need everyone in my house to go back to work so I can have the house to myself.

I think this bundle and DSP that I used for today’s card has to be my favorite since I find myself using it a lot. I especially love DSP that has script on it.  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 for today.

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. There are only 2 days left until Christmas. I’m supposed to be heading out this morning for a little to go shopping in this little town about 1/2 hour away. It has the cutest little shops, and I always find really nice gifts there. One small problem today is the weather, so we might hold off until a little later this morning or early afternoon to go.

I played with one of my favorite sets and DSP from the new January-April 2026 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 is my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Stamp Set along with the Cute As A Bug Designer Series Paper for my CAS card today. These products will be available starting January 6.

Stampin’ Up! Sunshine & Tulips

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s been really busy here at our house. I got all my cookies done and today I’m hoping to get all my trays put together and ready for delivery tomorrow. Friday night I went to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra with my husband and daughter. The concert was amazing to say the least. I love concerts that also include light shows and they DID NOT disappoint. The music was fantastic and between the lights, lasers, fire, dancing drones and fireworks my heart was full.

Today’s card was actually supposed to be my post for yesterday, but since I didn’t get home from the concert until almost 1am and I had to get up early for work, I just couldn’t get my post done on time. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sunshine & Tulips Stamp Set (available January 6) along with the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and 1 7/8″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to a Secret Sea mat. Adhere the smaller panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the coordinating Secret Sea mat. Adhere the smaller layered panel to the larger layered panel on the left side. Wrap a piece of Secret Sea 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon around the layered panels. Adhere the layered panels to the Petunia Pop card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Punch out the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch from a panel of Basic White. Stamp the outside of the tulip image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on the circle. Stamp the small inside tulip image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outside image. Draw a stem on the tulip using the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker. Stamp the leaf image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the stem. Cut the 3rd largest Circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Secret Sea. Adhere the stamped circle to the Secret Sea circle. Adhere the layered circle to the card front, over the ribbon, with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Secret Sea, stamp the sentiment from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the top of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2024-2026 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the row of tulips from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink along the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Petunia Pop card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the single tulip image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on the envelope front. Draw the stem with a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker and stamp the leaf image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in granny apple Green Ink. Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Framing for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week. I’m finishing up the last of my decorating of cookies today and I’m hoping to start putting together my cookie trays. Tonight, I’ll be going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra, my husband got me tickets for my birthday last month. I’m very excited, I’ve heard they put on amazing show.

Today’s card is the last card that we made at our quarterly meeting. This card was designed by Ann Louise Fodgaard. I’ve done this one with 3 panels before, but this is the 1st time I made it with 4 panels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Framing Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives Delicate Framing Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Creative Haven Bundle and Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Framing Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 3 larger panels of Hobby Haven DSP to the 3 Crumb Cake mats. Adhere the 4 panels of Petal Pink with the larger fold in the front to the small, folded section of the Petal Pink card base. Adhere one of the layered panels of DSP to the left side of the card base. Adhere the 4 medium panels of Hobby Haven DSP to the 4 sections of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Framing Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin' Up! Delicate Framing Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut 2 of each of the sprigs from a panel of Secret Sea using the Creative Haven Dies. Adhere the sprigs to the card front. Adhere a couple of the die cut panels of Hobby Haven DSP to the card front. Using the Creative Haven Dies, cut a panel of Lost Lagoon. Stamp the sentiment from the Delicate Framing stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the die cut panel. Adhere the sentiment to the card front. Tie a multi loop bow with Linen Thread and adhere it to the top of the sentiment. Add a few Dear Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Framing Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Creative Haven stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Adhere one of the die cut pieces from the Hobby Haven DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the back of the Petal Pink card base.

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):

Two-Tone Cardstock Share

Have you been wanting to try the Two-Tone Cardstock but didn’t want to buy a whole pack? You can add a share of the 4 different Two-Tone Cardstock packs for an additional $6 or purchase them separately for $6 + $10 Priority Shipping

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

If you’d like double shares of the designer paper or cardstock, 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.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Thursday morning stamping friends and 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 what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. 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 sketch.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Smile 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Linen Stamp Set, Natures Walk Designer Series Paper, Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper (all available January 6) and the Textured Notes Dies for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week

My colors for today’s card are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #478

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Smile 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Nature’s Symphony Dies cut the large leaf die from the center of the panel of Natures Walk DSP and the Shaded Spruce panel. Adhere the panel of Natures Walk DSP to the front of the Shaded Spruce card base. Stamp the panel of Natural Hues Textured paper with the Lasting Linen stamp set in Basic Beige Ink. Cut the panels of Secret Sea and stamped Natural Hues Textured paper using the Textured Notes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Smile 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the die cut panel of Secret Sea to the card front on an angle. Stamp the large leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the stamped panel of Natural Hues Textured paper. Adhere the stamped panel to the card front. Snip the large Shaded Spruce die cut leaf to make 2. Adhere the die cut DSP leaf to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the Shaded Spruce leaf under the DSP leaf. Tie a multi loop bow with the Linen Thread and adhere it to the stems of the leaves.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Smile 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Shaded Spruce stamp the sentiment from Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Fussy cut the sentiment with snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Color a few of the Holographic Resin Dots using the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker and adhere them to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Smile 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. Stamp the larger leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the die cut leaf that you sniped off the larger die cut piece to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Smile 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the small leafy image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Natures Walk DSP to the envelope flap.
