Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies for The Card Concepts

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 just wanted to take a quick moment to remember those that lost their lives on this day in 2001. I think we can all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing. Living so close to NYC I was extremely scared not knowing if anything else was going to happen.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #209 is Fall Florals. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Cheerful Daisies Dies and Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Cling Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the yellow daisies and gingham ribbon from the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 209.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Crushed Curry card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Cheerful Daisies Dies, cut 3 of the branches from a panel of Mossy Meadow. On a panel of Basic Beige stamp the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the small daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Cut the sentiment out using the Cheerful Daisies Dies.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a piece of the Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the die cut branches under the sentiment using Liquid Glue. Add a few Faux Glass Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Autumn Expressions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Adhere a strip of Splendid Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. Stamp the small daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on either side of the sentiment. Randomly stamp the leaf image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink around the edges of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

I have a fun CAS birthday card for you today using products from the annual catalog. 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! Attention Shoppers Celebrate 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Bundle along with the Country Woods DSP and Wanted To Say Dies for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #650.

My colors are from The Color Throwdown Challenge #807. I love these soft colors.

Adhere 3 panels of Country Woods DSP to a Basic Beige mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to a Crumb Cake card base using Liquid Glue.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on September 4th 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 September 9. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2024 Mini Catalog?  What is a Paper Share you ask?

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful one here in NJ. This past week was absolutely gorgeous. Monday morning, I shut my A/C and opened all the windows, and they have been open all week long. The humidity has been very low, the nights have been cool, and days have been in the 70’s. You can’t ask for anything better.

Today’s card is a really quick one letting the DSP do all the work for me. 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! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Bough Punch, Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Boho Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. Stamp the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the sentiment. Punch the sentiment out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. Ahere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Boughs Punch, punch out some leaves and flowers from scraps of Thoughtful Journey DSP. Adhere the leaves and flowers under the sentiment using Liquid Glue. Add a few 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the outline leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the solid leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the small flower image in Blackberry Bliss Ink full strength and stamping off once on scrap paper. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the leaf and flowers images from the Layering Leaves stamp set on the envelope front in Boho Blue and Blackberry Bliss Inks the same as on the card. Adhere a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!! Does anyone have plans in the works? I’ll be at work all day and it’s going to be a busy one. Once a year we have a bucket sale for The Children’s Miracle Network. Customers pay a $5 donation for a bucket and everything they can fit into it they get 20% off of. We usually do very well with this one especially since it goes to our local hospital. We’re supposed to go to a concert tonight, but the weather doesn’t look so good, severe thunderstorms, and it’s an outside concert.

I played with Online Exclusive products for today’s card again. I feel like I’ve rediscovered a bundle. 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! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder along with the Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from the Inspire. Create. Stamping Colour Challenge #173.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Embossed a Basic White card front using the Zinnia EF. Adhere the embossed panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink lengthwise on the panel. On another panel of Basic White, stamp the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Simply Zinnia Dies, cut the leaf image, cut the flower die from panels of Azure Afternoon and Balmy Blue, cut the flower center from Azure Afternoon and cut the detailed flower center from Lemon Lolly.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the flower together using Glue Dots and Liquid Glue. Adhere the flower to the top of the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Snip the leaves apart using Paper Snips. Adhere them to either side of the sentiment using Glue Dots. Adhere the Basic White panel to the Azure Afternoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue. Add a few Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Happiest Day stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the single flower and leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Azure Afternoon, Balmy Blue, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the single flower and leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was your weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? I spent yesterday in the house all day. I woke up with pink eye and wasn’t able to see very well. I was able to make a couple cards and do some rearranging in my craft studio.

Today’s card I played with an older set and made one of my favorite kinds of cards, layers. 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! Rustic Crate Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #340.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 3 panels of Iconic Celebrations DSP to Mossy Meadow mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3 layered panels to an Iconic Celebrations DSP card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I colored a piece of Very Vanilla 3/.4″ Satin Ribbon using Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I wrapped the ribbon around the card front and adhered it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the artwork to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Iridescent Dots using Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. Working in retail, my boss said to me one time, “after 4th of July, the summer’s over”. I never believed him until lately. The summer is just flying by on me. What happen to those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy days of Summer? Time needs to slow down. We hit over 100 yesterday with the real feel of 110 in the afternoon. Then that followed by thunderstorms in the evening. A true summer day here in NJ.

Today’s card I played along with 2 challenges and one of them makes your own background paper. 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! Spotlight On Nature Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I joined in with Inspire. Create Challenge #172 – Case The Designer

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #442.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the flower, leaf and butterfly images from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I colored the images using Daffodil Delight, Petunia Pop and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I randomly stamped the splatter image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Summer Splash card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the sentiment to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a piece of Summer Splash 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front in a ‘Z’ using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentient from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower and butterfly images from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. I colored the images using Daffodil Delight, Petunia Pop and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set randomly in Daffodil Delight Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Summer Splash card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on the envelope front. I stamped the flower and butterfly images from the Spotlight on Nature on the envelope flap. I randomly stamped the splatter image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the front and back.
