Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies CAS

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the first full week of Summer!!! How was everyone’s weekend? It was a hot one here in NJ. It’s been in the 90’s since last week and yesterday we hit 99. When I walked out of work at 5pm I couldn’t breathe the air quality was so bad. We had quite a few bad thunderstorms roll through, but they made it worse, I think.

Today’s card is a pretty quick CAS one. I always love doing white on white. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Bundle along with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #641.

My colors and theme are from Just Us Girls Mood Board #732.

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Timber EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped 2 of the butterfly images from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the butterflies out using the Sketched Butterflies Dies. I cut the small, detailed butterfly using the Sketched Butterflies Dies from a panel of Misty Moonlight. I adhered the detailed butterfly to the small butterfly using Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger butterfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the smaller butterfly above and under the larger one using Glue Dots. I added a few Lemon Lolly Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. Using the Sketched Butterflies Dies, I cut the detailed butterfly trio from a panel of Misty Moonlight. I adhered the detailed die cut butterflies by the sentiment. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cluster of butterflies from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the larger butterfly from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope flap. I colored the images using Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes for The Card Concepts

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

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts   We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #208 is Hello Summer. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Sea turtle Photopolymer Stamp Set, Bright & Beautiful 6X 6 Designer Series Paper, So Swirly Embossing Folder and Deckled Circles Dies for my Clean & Layered Card today. The starfish caught my eye as soon as I saw the inspiration photo, so that is what inspired me, and I worked around that.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 208.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink multiple times, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP. I embossed the DSP panel using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Deckled Circle Dies, I cut a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sand image from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Beige Ink on the bottom of the circle. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the large and small starfish images in Basic Beige Ink. I cut the images out using the Seaside Wishes Dies. I adhered a piece of Linen Thread to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the circle over the thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the larger starfish to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the smaller ones using Glue Dots. On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends and Glue Dots in the center. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the starfish and sand images from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Basic Beige Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set on a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP, stamping off once on scrap paper, in Azure Afternoon Ink. I adhered the panel to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black 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 starfish and sand images from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Basic Beige Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP. I adhered the panel 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.

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! Layers of Beauty Anniversary

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!! Happy JUNE!!! June used to be such a busy time of the year with the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. Both my kids are in their 20’s now. so it’s not as busy as it used to be. Does anyone have any plans for this weekend? I’ll be working in the office today since it’s the 1st of the month. My plan is to go in early so I can finish up early and enjoy the rest of the weekend, especially since it’s supposed to be a nice one here in NJ.

For today’s card I have a class coming up on Tuesday and one of the ladies requested to make one of the cards I made a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, with having 7 or 8 ladies here it isn’t possible, so I tried to come up with an alternative. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Layers of Beauty Dies, Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #439.

I also played along with TGIF Theme Challenge #475 Happily Ever After.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the leaves on the image in Lost Lagoon and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the daisy centers with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut the image out using the Layers of Beauty Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I added Petal Pink Ink using a Blending Brush in the center of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Exposed Brick 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and halfway through the month already. I have a wedding reception to go to tonight and tomorrow is a big day for my daughter. She’ll be graduating with a BS degree in Forensic Chemistry. To say I’m proud of her is an understatement. She has worked so hard to get this degree. I can’t wait to see where she goes from here. I know her next step is to get a job and then start working on her PHD.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #207 is Red, White and Blue. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' UP! Country Flowers in Red 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set, Country Woods Designer Series Paper and Nesting Essentials Dies for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the flowers and colors from the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 207.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' UP! Country Flowers in Red 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut the largest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies from a panel of Real Red. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the banner. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the banner to the left top of the card front using Liquid Glue just on the bottom of the banner. I trimmed off the excess using Paper Snips. I adhered the card front to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Country Flowers in Red 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Country Flowers Dies. On a panel of Country Wood DSP, I stamped the stool image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the image out using the Country Flowers Dies. From another panel of Country Woods DSP, I cut the flowerpot die using the Country Flowers Dies. I adhered the stool to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowerpot using Glue Dots and the flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

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

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! Friendly Fins for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For The Men/Boys”. We can interpret this however we want. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Fins Bundle along with the Stylish Shapes Dies and So Swirly Embossing Folder for my card.

My colors are from Colours & Sketches Challenge #536

My design is from TGIF Sketch Challenge #472

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pool Party card front using the So Swirly EF. I wrapped a piece of Pebbled Path Jute Trim from the 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim, around the card front and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 3 squares from a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Unfortunately, this DSP is no longer available, and I didn’t realize it until after my card was done. There is a pattern in the Winter Meadow DSP that would work perfectly. I adhered the squares to the card front using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the dolphin, stingray, fish and rock outlined images from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Fins Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the solid dolphin image from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper first then over the outlined image. I stamped the stingray and rock, solid images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 1 time first, over the outlined images. I stamped the solid fish image in Pool Party Ink, stamping off 1 time on scrap paper first, over the outlined image. I stamped the 2 sentiments from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the Basic Whtie panel. I cut all the images out using the Friendly Fins Dies. I cut the one sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and fussy cut the other using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the rocks using Glue Dots and all the other images and sentiments using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the dolphin and stingray outlined images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the solid dolphin and stingray images from the Friendly Fins stamp set over the outlined images stamping the dolphin off 2 times and the stingray off 1 time on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the outlined stingray and rock images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. Did you do anything fun this weekend? I hope all the mothers out there had an extra special day yesterday.

Today’s card I played with some Online Exclusive products along with some new DSP. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Fluffiest Friends Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive So Sincere Cling Stamp Set along with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, To Market Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My colors for today are from the Color Throwdown Countdown Challenge #792

My design is from Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #646

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of To Market DSP to a Boho Blue card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Beige in half on a diagonal using the Paper Trimmer. I embossed the triangles using the Eyelet EF. I cut the panel of Boho Blue in half on a diagonal using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the Basic Beige triangles to the Boho Blue triangles using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 layered triangles to the card front using Liquid Gue. On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the cat image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the image out using the 3rd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Pecan Pie and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the image to a Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the flower image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink along the bottom of the panel. I colored the flowers using Boho Blue and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope, I stamped the cat and flower images from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of To Market 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! Country Flowers Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was your weekend? It was another rainy one here, especially yesterday. It was a good day to stay inside and catch up on a few things. I have been so busy with work and the new puppy that I haven’t had a day to just work in my craft studio. Yesterday I was finally able to spend some time in there cleaning up and getting things in order. I cut up all my ribbon for my ribbon shares and started cutting DSP for my paper shares. I’m hoping to get the rest cut up after work today.

I played with products from the new Annual Catalog today. I received my order on Friday, and it took until Saturday night to open the box. I got lots of new goodies to play with and a lot of new DSP. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day Photopolymer Stamp Set, Country Lace Designer Series Paper and Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design today is from Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #437.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Country Lace DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I embossed a strip of Basic Beige using the Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the bottom of the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of Shaded Spruce to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of Country Lace DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the plant image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the milk can image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the same Basic White panel. I colored the images using Gray Granite and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Country Flowers Dies. I cut the leaf die from the Country Flowers Dies from panels of Shaded Spruce and Shy Shamrock. I adhered the milk can image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 die cut leaf images in the milk can using Glue Dots. I adhered the plant image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Happiest Day stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the end on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2024-2026 In-Color Shimmer Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happiest Day stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the milk can image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the plant image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I colored the images using Gray Granet and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the milk can image and sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the plant image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I colored the image using Gray Granite and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Lace DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky Cling Stamp Set along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper and Deckled Circles Dies for my card today. I let the DSP do most of the work for me today.

These are our colors for this week

My design is from Sunday Stamps Front & Center Challenge #334

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Copper Clay into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the banner to a panel of Night of Navy using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the Night of Navy panel on an angle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the smallest plane image from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 2 times, then stamping over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd from the smallest Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium plane from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, then over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Take to the Sky DSP on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium plane image from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. I h9pe you are all having a good week so far.

Today’s card I played with some retiring products and products that are carrying over. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches Cling Stamp Set along with the Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design for today’s card came from Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #442.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Glorious Gingham DSP card front to a Parakeet Party (retiring April 30th) mat using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the smaller blueberry image from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Blueberry Bushel and Parakeet Party(retiring April 30th) Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the Basic White panel using the Painted Textures EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Parakeet Party mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Parakeet Party Baker’s Twine from the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack (retiring April 30th), around the card front 3 times and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I adhered a strip of the Glorious Gingham DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Parakeet Party mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic white Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller blueberry image from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Blueberry Bushel and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 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! Earthen Textures for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is anyone starting to make plans for the weekend? I’ll be doing a vendor event tomorrow at a local high school. I’ve never done one before, so this is all new to me.

Today I played with all retiring products. This was one of those suites that I wasn’t gong to get and once I did get it, it turned out to be one of my favorites. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the retiring Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #632.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the center of the Basic Beige card base together between the 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″ score lines using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 3 3/4″ X 4 1/4″ panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 2 little slits on the binder part of the card base using Paper Snips. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the end 2 times and tied a small bow. On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the vase image from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the panel. I cut the images out using Earthen Textures Dies. Using the Earthen Textures Dies, I cut a panel of Distressed Gold paper and Pretty Peacock with 2 of the dies.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On another panel of Earthen Elegance DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set i Pretty Peacock Ink. I arranged the die cut pieces the way I wanted and adhered them using Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I adhered the vase using Stampin’ Dimensionals over the stems. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.
