Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Birthday

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning stamping friends, Happy June!!! How is your weekend going? I’ll be at work super early today so I can get the bills done and have the rest of the day for myself.

Today’s card I did a little Emboss Resist Technique. I haven’t done this in a while, and I forgot how much I like it.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! the Right Words Cling Stamp Set, Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #361 In the Corner.

I also played along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #271 I went down the left side with Soft Colors, Paid and Flowers.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Blending Brush, add Pool Party Ink to an Irresistible Designs DSP panel. Adhere the inked panel to a Pool Party card base with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Petal Pink, stamp the floral image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with White Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the image out using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Color the image with Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Write Markers. Gently wipe over the image with a tissue to remove any ink from the embossing. Adhere the artwork to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from The Right Words stamp set in Pool Party Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal. Add a few Antique Pearls to the card front.

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend and the last day of May. I hope you have some fun plans in the works for today. It’s the last day of the month so that means I’ll be working in the office closing out for the month. The good thing is, as soon as I finish my work I can come home.

I have a quick CAS card for you today. You know how I’m always saying I do not like yellow and orange. Well, those are the colors I used. There’s something about the new Timid Tiger that I just love.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom

Posted on by

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was your weekend. We ended up having a beautiful one here. Yesterday the humidity lifted and it turned out to be a beautiful breezy day.

Today’s card I played with some Online Exclusive products. I think this is one of my absolute favorite packs of DSP. I love all the flowers and designs in it.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, Everyday Arches Dies and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #686.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Floral Impressions DSP to a Strawberry Slush card base with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the 6th largest Everyday Arches Dies (expected back in stock the 1st week of June), cut out the center of the Pretty in Pink panel. Score the sides of the panel at 1/4″, 1/2″, 3 3/8″ & 3 5/8″. Emboss the panel using the Exposed Brick EF. Fold the sides on the score lines and adhere it to the card front with Tear & Tape.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Impressions Abloom stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the arch with Liquid Glue. Add a few Strawberry Slush Gems.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the panel using the 2nd largest Everyday Arches Dies. Stamp the stem image from the Impressions Abloom stamp set in Garden Green Ink 3 times on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the detailed leaf image from Impressions Abloom stamp set on the stems. Stamp the solid leaf image in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed images. Stamp the detailed flower image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink on the stems. Stamp the solid flower image in Strawberry Slush Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed images. Stamp the flower center image in Darling Duckling Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to the Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Strawberry Slush card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the stem and leaf images from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the detailed flower image in Strawberry Slush Ink on the stem. Stamp the solid flower image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image. Stamp the flower center in Darling Duckling Ink.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #217 is Patriotic Decor.

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree in Pink

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning stamping friends and Happy Mother’s Day to all human moms, fur baby moms, moms to be, foster moms and every other kind of mom there are. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and your family takes extra special care of you today.

For my card today, I played with a stamp set that I only saw a masculine card to be made with it. Since it’s that time of year when all the beautiful flowering trees are in bloom, that’s what I thought I’d try. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree in Pink 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! The Right Word Cling Stamp Set, Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper and Textured Notes Dies for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #685

I also joined in with Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #462.

Adhere a panel of Wildflower Birthday DSP to a Soft Sea Foam card base with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere a strip of Wildflower Birthday DSP to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree in Pink 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the tree image from Loveliest Tree stamp set on a panel of Basic White. Ink the stamp using Pecan Pie, Granny Apple Green and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Write Markers. Give the stamp a little huff and stamp the image. Cut the image out using the 4th largest Textured Notes Dies. Adhere the image to a Pretty in Pink mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree in Pink 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from The Right Words stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the smallest Textured Notes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the top of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few of the Pretty in Pink Gems.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree in Pink 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiments from The Right Words stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the tree image from Loveliest Tree stamp set on the bottom of the panel by inking it up with Pretty in Pink, Pecan Pie and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base.

It’s the eve before the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, May Online Exclusives and May Kits are available to purchase. I hope you have your shopping lists ready to go. I’m planning on getting up extremely early to get my order in.

Today’s card features a set that’s available now and one that will be available starting tomorrow morning. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layered Thoughts 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layered Thoughts Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive You Are Remarkable Photopolymer Stamp Set and Fancy Borders Dies for my card today.

My sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #684. I changed is up a little and turned it sideways.

I also played along with The Flower Challenge #102. I have stripes on the background and spots by the flower.

Stampin' Up! Layered Thoughts 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a Flirty Flamingo card front using the Mini Corrugated EF. Cut a panel of Daffodil Delight using the Fancy Borders Dies. On a panel of Misty Moonlight, stamp the sentiments from Layered Thoughts stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Layered Thoughts 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the die cut Daffodil Delight panel to the back of the sentiment panel using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the bottom of the Flirty Flamingo panel using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layered Thoughts 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the solid flower image from You Are Remarkable stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink. Stamp the solid stem/leaf image from You Are Remarkable stamp set in Old Olive Ink. Stamp the flower center and splatter images from the You Are Remarkable stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink. Cut the image out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. Adhere the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Tiny Bee Trinkets to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layered Thoughts 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a pane of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from You Are Remarkable stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. Stamp the solid stem/leaf image from You Are Remarkable stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the side of the panel.

Designer Series Paper Online Zoom Class

Tara Carpenter and I are super excited about offering you this Free Online Zoom Class

Do you struggle with different ways to use all your Designer Series Paper? Tara and I are teaming up for a Zoom class to show you 6 different cards using just Designer Series Paper and a Sentiment. Of course, we’ll add embellishments and maybe ribbon or twine, but this class will primarily be using DSP. We have picked a pack of DSP with all the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and that’s what we will be focusing on. You can see the DSP starting on page 40 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. The class will be held on Sunday May 18th from 1pm-5pm ET. The best part is you can earn this class absolutely FREE. You will cut all the cardstock and DSP of your choice prior to the class so you are ready to go. We will NOT be cutting up cardstock or DSP the day of the event. You will choose the color cardstock and your favorite DSP to use from what you purchase. Please remember to order early so that you receive it on time to prep for the class.

The class requirements:

  • Visit my Online Store on or after May 6th and purchase 1 pack of Florals in Bloom 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (165175), 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Cardstock Assortment Pack (165623) and 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls (165192)

Once you sign up you will receive:

  • Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
  • PDF with detailed directions and photos
  • A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

When you Sign Up for the class, I will send you the complete PDF the week before the class so that you can cut up the color cardstock of your choice and the Designer Series Paper of your choice. Everyone’s card will be unique since you will pick your favorite designs of DSP and color cardstock.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: This class is FREE to customers who make the purchase through my Online Store.

If you are a Demonstrator and would like to attend the class and get the PDF, there will be a $20 charge that will be billed through PayPal. I know you would like to purchase the products yourself getting your discount but still would like to attend.

My 2025 – 2026 Annual Catalog and May Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Two-Tone Cardstock Share along with the upcoming May Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 6th 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 May 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Catalog and Online Exclusives.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!

Have you been wanting to try the Two-Tone Cardstock but didn’t want to buy a whole pack? You can add a share of the 4 different Two-Tone Cardstock packs for an additional $6 or purchase them separately for $6 + $9 Priority Shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each color from each of the packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Celebrate Together (6)

If you’d like double shares of the designer paper or cardstock, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

Designer Series Paper Online Zoom Class

Tara Carpenter and I are super excited about offering you this Free Online Zoom Class

Do you struggle with different ways to use all your Designer Series Paper? Tara and I are teaming up for a Zoom class to show you 6 different cards using just Designer Series Paper and a Sentiment. Of course, we’ll add embellishments and maybe ribbon or twine, but this class will primarily be using DSP. We have picked a pack of DSP with all the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and that’s what we will be focusing on. You can see the DSP starting on page 40 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. The class will be held on Sunday May 18th from 1pm-5pm ET. The best part is you can earn this class absolutely FREE. You will cut all the cardstock and DSP of your choice prior to the class so you are ready to go. We will NOT be cutting up cardstock or DSP the day of the event. You will choose the color cardstock and your favorite DSP to use from what you purchase. Please remember to order early so that you receive it on time to prep for the class.

The class requirements:

  • Visit my Online Store on or after May 6th and purchase 1 pack of Florals in Bloom 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (165175), 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Cardstock Assortment Pack (165623) and 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls (165192)
  • Once you have made your purchase Click Here to sign up

Once you sign up you will receive:

  • Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
  • PDF with detailed directions and photos
  • A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

When you Sign Up for the class, I will send you the complete PDF the week before the class so that you can cut up the color cardstock of your choice and the Designer Series Paper of your choice. Everyone’s card will be unique since you will pick your favorite designs of DSP and color cardstock.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: This class is FREE to customers who make the purchase through my Online Store.

If you are a Demonstrator and would like to attend the class and get the PDF, there will be a $20 charge that will be billed through PayPal. I know you would like to purchase the products yourself getting your discount but still would like to attend.

Class Sign up Deadline: Sunday May 11th at 5pm ET
