Stampin’ Up! Charming Day for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy Black Friday!!!! Who all heads out to go shopping today? Today’s my day to decorate my house for Christmas. I’m hoping to get most of it done today, but if I don’t, I have off tomorrow so I can finish up then. It all starts with me going up into the attic and passing the hundred boxes down and telling them which room to put them all in. I then work on 1 room at a time unpacking and putting everything up.

I did a video on my YouTube channel for today’s card. If you’d like to stamp along while you watch the video, the list of measurements are below. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Layered Thoughts CAS

Good HOT Tuesday morning stamping friends. It’s supposed to hit just about 100 here in NJ today with the real feel of 110. Add the humidity and poor air quality to that and you have an inside crafting day. I did head out for a quick walk early this morning before the heat got too bad.

I have a super quick and easy card for you today for those times when you are heading out the door and realize you forgot the birthday card. I think I put this one together in less than 10 minutes. The stamp set I used along with some of the beautiful DSP makes a perfect quick card that others will think you took much longer to make. It took me longer to take the pictures than to make it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layered Thoughts CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layered Thoughts Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Thoughtful Journey 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

As of last night, July 14th, we’re at $170 of the $500 to be donated. We can Do this!!!

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

  • For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.
    • You’ll earn your Creative Stamping Designs Rewards with all order of $50 or more (before tax & shipping).
    • Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

OR…

2. – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Mercury One at this LINK

  • For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Mercury One and you’ll be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be give away on July 20th.

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

  • If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses.  Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine.

NOTE: Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight Eastern Time on Saturday July 19 to be entered to win the machine.  One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Sunday July 20th from all of the entries received.

Any questions, please send me an email to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com. I appreciate your help more than I can express.
