Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Birthday Fun Fold

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend already. This month is flying by quickly.

Today’s card I have a sneak peek for you of a bundle coming in the September – December 2023 Mini Catalog. We had our team stamping studio last night and did some mystery stamping at the end. This is what I came up with from Jaimie’s directions.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle which will be available starting in September from the Mini Catalog along with the Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my tissue box card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring the 2 – 4 1/4″ X 5″ panels of Pretty Peacock cardstock along the 5″ side every inch. Using Tear & Tape, I adhered the ends together making 2 boxes. I adhered the 2 boxes together using Tear & Tape just on the ends of the boxes. I adhered the 4 pieces of Glorious Gingham DSP on the 2 sides and top of the boxes.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the larger flower from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I stamped the sprig image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink 3 times and the leaf image 2 times in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut all the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies along with the stem die from a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I cut the largest circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the circle twice. I adhered the stems using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers and leaves on the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs behind the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the flowers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tiny flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink in the corners. I adhered the sentiment to ta Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card base blocks using Glue Dots. I wrapped a piece of Bubble Bath 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack around the front box and tied a bow.

On the back, I cut out another one of the largest circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the circle. I stamped the larger floral image in Bubble Bath Ink and the sprig image in Lemon Lolly Ink. I adhered the circle to the front circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and inserted it between the 2 boxes using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and floral images from the Translucent Florals stamp set on the envelope front in Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Inks. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm Cling Stamp Set (available July 6th), along with the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from the Paper Players Challenge #644.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic Whtie using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Charm stamp set on either side of the flower in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink next to the flower, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf image on the envelope flap in Lost Lagoon Ink some full strength and some stamped off once on scrap paper.

Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings CAS Birthday

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans for the weekend. I’ll be working all day today and last I saw we’re expecting rain all day today. We’ll see what happens, it’s NJ and they don’t always get the weather correct. Tomorrow I have my in-person quarterly meeting. I always look forward to these meetings and getting together with team members.

I have a quick birthday card for you today using one of my favorite sets from the new catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings CAS Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings CAS Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Berry Burst mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings CAS Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the circle sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Azure Afternoon Ink. I stamped the cupcake image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink inside the sentiment. I colored the image using Berry Burst, Lemon Lolly and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings CAS Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of 3/8″ Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack, to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the punched sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four-Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings CAS Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the top of the panel. I stamped the cupcake image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Berry Burst, Lemon Lolly and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Berry Burst mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cupcake image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Berry Burst, Lemon Lolly and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful 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!!

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   GVEBWYZ6

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. 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. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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! So Refreshing for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends. How was your week? It’s been a busy one for me, with Memorial Day, the end of the month, the 1st of the month, I’ve been working every day. I usually have 2 days during the week off, not this week. I did have Memorial Day off.

I wasn’t able to do my live on Wednesday since I got stuck at work later than planned. I do have a simple fun fold today using a new bundle that I just got. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Bundle along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the book end of the Flirty Flamingo card base together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a larger and smaller panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to Daffodil Delight mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I colored a piece of White Baker’s Twine using the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Marker. I wrapped the twine around the left side of the card base twice and tied a bow. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the pitcher and glass images from the Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the liquid image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, inside the outlined images. I stamped the ice cube image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the images out using the So Refreshing Dies. On a scrap of Lemon Lolly cardstock, I stamped the lemon slice image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink twice. I cut the images out using the So Refreshing Dies. I cut the tablecloth/blanket die from the So Refreshing Dies from a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the tablecloth to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a slit in the lemon slice using my Paper Snips and slid them onto the glasses. I adhered the pitcher and glasses to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Refreshing stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the side of the panel. I stamped the lemon image from the So Refreshing stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Daffodil Delight Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Daffodil Delight mat then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pitcher, ice and glass images from the So Refreshing stamp set on the envelope front in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the liquid image in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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! Zany Zoo Birthday for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and Happy June!!! 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 Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Bundle along with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder and Beautiful Balloons Dies for my card today.

Here are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pool Party card front using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. Using the Beautiful Ballons Dies, I cut a panel of Lemon Lime Twist to make grass. I fluffed the grass a bit and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just on the bottom of the panel. Using the Zany Zoo Dies, I cut a panel of Crumb Cake to make the stool, a panel of Basic White to make the clouds and Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie to make balloons.

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the turtle and raccoon images from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I colored the images using Bronze, Crumb Cake Lemon Lime Twist and Smoky Slater Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images using the Zany Zoo Dies. I adhered the racoon and stool to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the turtle on the stool using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the balloons and clouds using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Zany Zoo stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the music note image from the Zany Zoo stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink around the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the banner die from the Zany Zoo Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Zany Zoo stamp set in Tuxedo Black In on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the turtle, racoon and music note images from the Zany Zoo stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. I colored the images using Bronze, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the singing turtle and music note images from the Zany Zoo stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the music noter image from the Zany Zoo stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope flap.

I was going through my stamp sets for today’s card and pulled an older one out that I like to play with. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are ready for a long weekend. I’ll be at work, but I do have off on Monday and we’re planning on having a picnic/birthday all day. Today is my daughter’s birthday and every year we celebrate on Memorial Day. This year she has to share her celebration with Coraline, my puppy. Coraline turned 1 today.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. I was a little bit of a hot mess, but I made it through. It just wasn’t my day for a live starting with having technical difficulties. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set along with the Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the 3″ X 5 1/4″ panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the largest Nested Essentials Dies. I folded the panel on the 1″ score line, placed the die above the fold line so that it wouldn’t cut the fold and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the die cut panel to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, so that it would fold over the Z-Fold.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink 3 time, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel each time. I stamped the flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set over the leaf images. I inked the flower image using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Marker for the stem and leaves, Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Marker for the flowers and I used Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers for highlights on the flowers. I gave it a couple huffs to reactivate the ink before stamping. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small bow with the1/4″ Petal Pink Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a couple Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the top of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 2nd largest die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on either side of the sentiment. I used Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers for the stems and Calypso Coral & Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Markers for the flowers. I adhered the sentiment panel to the Petal Pink flap using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the panel.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I inked it using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside left side of the Petal Pink card base. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanical DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the inside back of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink twice on the envelope front, stamping off twice on scrap paper each time. I stamped the flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set over the leaf images. I inked the flower using Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtle Birthday and DSP Sale Coming In June

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends and Happy World Turtle Day!!! My daughter LOVES turtles and has a very large collection of them. She wants to swim with the turtles one day and I told her I’d do that with her. How many turtle lovers are out there?

In honor of World Turtle Day, I’ve made a turtle card for today. Now I’m not sure which card my daughter will get for her birthday at the end of the week. She loves Chemistry and Turtles, and I’ve made both birthday cards. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtle Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set, Basics 3 D Embossing Folder and the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by randomly stamping the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the Lost Lagoon card front. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a square panel of Hello Irresistible DSP, I stamped the sand dollar image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the fish image from the Sea Turtle stamp set on another panel of the Hello Irresistible DSP, in Calypso Coral Ink. I sprinkled it with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the starfish image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the last square of Hello Irresistible DSP. I sprinkled the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the 3 squares to 3 Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch, I punched a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. I stamped the small detail turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I sprinkled the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the punched circle to the Basic Whtie circle mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Basic White cardstock, I cut the sentiment mat using the Wanted To Say Dies. From a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock, I cut the sentiment from the Wanted To Say Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the mat using Multipurpose Liqui Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the sides of the panel. I stamped the small detail turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panel. I flipped the image over and stamped the solid turtle image in Pretty Peacock Ink over the detailed image, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set on the envelope front in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the small detail turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I flipped the stamp over and stamped the solid turtle image in Pretty Peacock Ink over the detailed image, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

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! It’s A Science Fun Fold

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? What kind of plans do you have for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night my daughter, niece, nephew and I will be attending the High School Tricky Tray. Even though my kids are no longer in school, we still like to support some of their events.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.
