Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Fancy Fold

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow and Sunday is our quarterly in person meeting.

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.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Elegant Borders Dies for my card today. All the items except for the Go To Greetings set are Online Exclusive products. These items are not and will not be in any of the catalogs, they are only available to see and purchase on the Online Store.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started with a Thick Basic White card base and cut the front of the card base using one of the Elegant Borders Dies. I cut the dotted circle die from the Irresistible Blooms Dies from a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I adhered the dotted circle to the front of the card base using small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using the Irresistible Blooms Dies, I cut the flowers and leaves from panels of Hello Irresistible DSP. I adhered the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Double Oval Punch. From a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I punched out the scalloped oval using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped oval using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Loose Frosted Dots using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside right of the card base I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered another die cut flower and leave from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Bloom stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink by the flower. 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:

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my 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 what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge and I thought I’d go a little tropical. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Coconut 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Palms Photopolymer Stamp Set, Palm Dies, and 2022-2024 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Coconut 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to a Tahitian Tide card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I embossed the rectangle using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Tahitian Tide mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Coconut 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. Using my Water Painter, I added some Smoky Slate Ink just to the center of the larger 2 images. I cut the images out using the Sweet Citrus Dies. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink 5 times. I stamped the flower images from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I colored the flowers using the Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Sweet Citrus Dies. From a panel of Parakeet Party cardstock, I cut 3 of the palms from the Palms Dies.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Coconut 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the coconut images to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and palms under the coconuts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers around the coconuts using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the center of the flowers. On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink. I cut both ends of the strip into a banner using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Coconut 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Polished Pink Ink and colored the flowers with the Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the ‘coconut’ image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Soft Suede Ink. I added some Smoky Slate Ink in the center only of the image using my Water Painter. I stamped the leaf image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set by the coconut. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Tahitian Tide mat and then to the inside of the Tahitian Tide card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Coconut 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the ‘coconut’ image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink by the coconut. I stamped the flower image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the bottom of the envelope front and colored them with the Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Bunny

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m not sure about tomorrow.

Today I have a quick fun card that I used my Stamparatus for. The Stamparatus saves lots of time for lining up stamped images. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Bunny 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Best Day Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Bunny 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set on a Basic White card front. I stamped the top in full strength Flirty Flamingo Ink.

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! Fragrant Flowers Double Time Stamping

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Who has today off for Presidents Day? I don’t. That’s a disadvantage of working retail. Even though I work in the office, we’re still open.

Today’s card is pretty much the basics of Stamps, Ink and Paper. I did add a little embellishment, since I thought it just needed a little something extra. I also did one of my favorite techniques, double time stamping. I just love double and triple time stamping. I also did the Spot Light Technique. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by lightly adhering a small panel of Basic White cardstock to a larger panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the large flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the corners of the panels. I removed the small panel and stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings between the flowers in Smoky Slate Ink.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers, I colored just the flowers on the small panel. I adhered the small panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal. Lining up the flowers, I adhered the layered panel to the larger stamped Basic White panel using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panels to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic white panel. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I colored just the flowers in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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! Very Best Occasions CAS Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be at the dog bakery today, hopefully getting to pet and give some fur friends treats.

Today I have a speedy quick CAS card for you featuring the Sale-a-bration DSP. There’s very little stamping going on today, I let paper and DSP do all the work for me. Can you believe that we are down to our last 10 days of Sale-a-bration and it won’t be back until next year. There’s also only 10 days left for the awesome Stampin’ Up! joining special. Don’t wait until it’s too late, hope on these specials now. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set and the gorgeous Sale-a-bration Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on the inside of the floral oval pattern of Dainty Flowers DSP. I cut the DSP using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Rich Razzleberry cardstock using the same Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered the die cut DSP to the die cut cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Fresh Freesia card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I added a Dragonfly Trinket to the panel using a Glue Dot and a couple 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the panel.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Rich Razzleberry mat then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base.

Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work both days this weekend.

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.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Cling Stamp Set and the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is the template for the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I scored, cut and folded a Basic White Thick card base as in the template above. I adhered 2 panels of Subtle DSP to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the small flower image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the larger of the flowers in the bouquet using my Blushing Bride Ink and my Water Painter filled with alcohol. I cut the image our using the Flowers of Home Dies. From a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock, I cut a few sprigs using the Flowers of Home Dies. I adhered a piece White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon to the left card front panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flower image over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs under the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside of the panel, I adhered panels of the Subtle DSP along the top and bottom. On either side, I adhered sprigs that I cut from panels of Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron cardstock using the Flowers of Home Dies. I wanted a small bumblebee, so I stamped the bumblebee images from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Cling Stamp Set in Smoky slate Ink on either side of the center pop section.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat then to the small pop up panel on the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Blessings of Home Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

I started by adhering a panel of Flowers & More DSP to a Parakeet Party mat. I adhered the layered panel to an Orchid Oasis card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the goose image from the Silly Goose stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image using my Deckled Rectangle Dies.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the 2-goose image from the Silly Goose stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the sentiment from the Silly Goose stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink between the geese. I stamped the grass image from the Silly Goose stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink below the geese. I colored the colored the image using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Flowers & More DSP to the envelope flap.

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:    BFQ24SXS

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.
