Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you all ready for the weekend. I’ll be prepping all day today for next weekend’s retreat and my Stamp Camp Card Class that I’ll be having the day after I et home from the retreat.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Bundle (available November 7th) along with the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper (available in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog), Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Cling Stamp Set and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding a Pool Party card base. The 3″, 7 1/2″ & 10″ score lines are all Mountain folds. The 6″ & 9 ” score lines are Valley folds. I adhered the 3 panels of Bee Mine DSP to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 3 Sweet Sorbet panels to the 3 coordinating Petal ink mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3″ diamond to the center back, butting the corner right in the center fold. I lined the 2 3/4″ diamond in the center folded area and 2 1/2″ diamond on the front folded panel, lining up all 3 diamonds.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bear, cat and hamster images from the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Cling Stamp Set in tuxedo Black Ink. I colored all the images using Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Ivory, Lemon Lime Twist, Natural Tones, Petal pink, Pool party, Smoky Slate and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. Using Glue Dots, I adhered the bear to the back panel, cat to the center and hamster to the front panel.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 6 pieces of grass from a panel of Lemon Lime Twist using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. On the Basic White panel, I stamped the sentiments from the Zany Zoo stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiments out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the grass die cuts below the animals using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiments to the 1st and center images using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers (available January 2024) to the sentiments.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bunny image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Smoky Slate & Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny and hamster image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images with Lemon Lime Twist, Naturals Tone, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Smoky Slate & Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP 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! Heartfelt Hexagon Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Garden Walk DSP card front to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Garden Walk DSP, I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From another panel of Garden Walk DSP, I cut another banner, the same one, using the Nested Essentials Dies. For this one, I cut it partially through from the banner end, I moved the die up to make it longer and cut the rest of the way through. I adhered the smaller banner to the longer banner using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the banners to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front. I tied a small bow using the 2023-2025 Jute Trim and adhered it to the banner using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Garden Walk DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Autumn

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Was anyone able to enjoy some beautiful fall weather? Yesterday was a beautiful day here in NJ, but very windy. I went out for multiple walks throughout the day. It seemed like every time I had time to go work on cards, Coraline needed to go out and wanted a walk.

I have a quick card for you today using multiple different products. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made the card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #320, Frame It.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut another panel of All About Autumn DSP using the 4th from the largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I cut a panel of Very Vanilla using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut panel of DSP to the Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the framed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the small maple and oak leave dies from the Autumn Leaves Dies from panels of All About Autumn DSP. I adhered the leaves under the sentiment using Glue Dots. I added a few Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the oak leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink over the solid images. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set along with the Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder and the gorgeous Meandering Meadows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. This DSP will be available as an Online Exclusive starting on November 7th.

Here is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Meandering Medows DSP card front to a Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Fresh Freesia, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I embossed a strip of Petal Pink using the Painted Textures 3D EF.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

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! Fruitful Blessings

Good Saturday morning stamping friends welcome to the weekend and HAPPY AUTUMN!!! I can’t believe summer is over. Summer one of my favorite seasons, but I do like spring and autumn and winter too. I’m just a hot weather person. I hope you are getting some plans in the works for the weekend. I’ll be working all day today.

Since it’s Autumn, I only thought it would be appropriate to have a fall card for you today. To see a quick video on how I made this card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for the day.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Rectangle Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Them Bones Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Cajun Craze card front using the Timeworn Type 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut the panel of Stargazing DSP partway through, I moved the die so that I would cut a square and cut again from the opposite side. I stamped the splatter image from the Textured Floral stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, all around the panel. I adhered the stamped DSP panel to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Them Bones DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stamin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Fruitful Blessings Dies I cut the solid corn die from a panel of Cajun Craze, the detailed corn die from a panel of Crushed Curry, the corn husk from a panel of Crumb Cake and the leaves from a panel of Old Olive.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Pebbled Path, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the detailed corn to the solid corn die. I adhered the leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the corn and corn husk using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel and colored the images with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Delightful Translucent Florals & Clearance Rack Refresh

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you week has started off good. I get to bring my puppy to a new vet today. I’ve gotten nothing but amazing feedback from this vet and I’m looking forward to meeting them. I don’t know if Coraline is since it means she has to get in the car. She does not like card rides. We try to bring her on a lot of short rides, but it hasn’t helped.

I played with some of the new Online Exclusive DSP for my card today. These new papers are so pretty. Have you checked them out yet? If you’d like to see a quick video of my card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

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.

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!!! I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be at the dog bakery all day celebrating their 20 Years of Making Tails Wag. It’s going to be a very exciting day.

I have a CAS card for you today playing with products from the annual catalog and dies from the new September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. If you would like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched Pebbled Path 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies and Fresh as A Daisy Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched Pebbled Path 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched Pebbled Path 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of Pebbled Path 3/8″ Textured Ribbon to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from the Softly Sketched stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched Pebbled Path 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Boho Blue mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path car base.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched Pebbled Path 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch

Good Monday morning stamping friends, Happy Monday. I hope you’re ready for a new week. Did everyone have a nice weekend?

I played with the new masks again from the upcoming September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. I’m really liking playing with these. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (available Sept 6) and Tailor Made Tags Dies for m y card today.

My design is from the Freshly Made Sketches #599.

My colors are from The Color Throwdown Countdown #756.

I joined in with the Double “D” Challenges Sunflowers.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks for the card front. I used number 1-4 to build the sunflower images. With mask #1 I used Pumpkin Pie Ink and my Blending Brush applying a light color. I used Pumpkin Pie Ink again with the Small Blending Brush and added a darker color for the center of the petals. With Mask #2 I used Garden Green Ink, mask # 3 I used Crumb Cake Ink and mask #4 I used Pecan Pie Ink, using my Blending Brushes for all of them.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the card front to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pumpkin Pie card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Grden Green Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the largest Tailored Made Tags Dies. I colored a piece of White Baker’s Twine using my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I threaded the twine through the tag and tied a bow. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the brown Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks for the inside coloring them the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Pansy Patch 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks for the envelope front and flap coloring them the same as I did for the card front.

  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! Seasonal Branches Birthday Wishes

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend.

Today’s card I used a bundle that I haven’t played with in a while. Sometimes you just have to pull out some older products to play with to remind yourself how much you like them. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Birthday Wishes 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Bundle and the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog. I also used the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set and Deckled Circles Dies from the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Birthday Wishes 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the new Deckled Circles Dies and cut the center of the Fresh As A Daisy DSP card front. I used the next size larger of the Deckled Circles Dies and cut a panel of Night of Navy. I adhered the Fresh As A Daisy DSP card front to a Night of Navy mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut Deckled Circle DSP to the Night of Navy Deckled Circle die cut mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to an Azure Afternoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Birthday Wishes 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White I stamped the branch image from the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink. On the same panel I stamped the leaf image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the bird and apple images from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink I colored the images using Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Seasonal Branches Dies. I adhered the branch to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves and bird using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the apples using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Birthday Wishes 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I scored both ends of the strip at 3/4″ & 1″. I cut both ends using the Banner Pick A Punch. I folded the sentiment strip into a banner and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 I-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Birthday Wishes 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the apple image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sentiment. I stamped the leaf image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom of the panel and on the apple. I colored the leaves in using Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the apple using Daffodil Delight and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Birthday Wishes 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped and colored the branch, apple, leaves and bird images from the Seasonal Branches stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the envelope flap.

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

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

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.
