Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Father’s Day

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend. It was beautiful here, especially yesterday. I believe it was 78 and sunny most of the day. Now we’re back to rain and 50. Is anyone else watching the clock like I am? Less than 24 hours till the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog goes live, YAY!!!! I can’t wait. I’ve got my list all ready to go starting with my must haves right away, then my I want it now’s, followed by I’ll get it next week if I can wait that long and finally I want them, but I can wait a bit. I will be hitting that expedite button so I have my new goodies in a day or 2 so that I can get all the DSP cut up and shipped out to you ASAP.

Today’s card is one that we will be making at my monthly class tomorrow night. I thought I’d start the night off, and today’s post, with all the new 2022-2024 In-Colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Gentle Waves Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Happy & Heartfelt Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the water image from the Gentle Waves stamp set first in Tahitian Tide Ink. I moved the panel up a little and stamped it again in Starry Sky Ink. I adhered the stamped panel to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sailboat image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I colored the masts in Parakeet Party using my 2022-2024 In- Colors Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the sails images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet Inks. Using my Sailboat Builder Punch, I cut all the images out. Before punching them, I cut them apart using my Paper Snips to make it a little easier to punch. I adhered the sailboats to the stamped panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Starry Sky Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, below the boat image.

I adhered the Sweet Sorbet sails using Glue Dots and the Orchid Oasis sails using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the bird image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. On a small panel of Basic Whtie cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. I wrapped a piece of Starry Sky Baker’s Twine from the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack around the panel twice tying a knot on the back. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Parakeet Party 2022-2024 matte Decorative Dots to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the water image from the Gentle Waves stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink. I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Starry Sky Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, below the boat. I stamped the birds’ image around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the water image from the Gentle Waves stamp set on the envelope front in Tahitian Tide Ink. I stamped the sailboat image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Orchid Oasis and Sahara Sand on the bottom of the envelope. I stamped the birds in Smoky Slated Ink. I adhered a panel of Sahara Sand Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Through It Together

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

Today’s card is another one we made last night at our Stamp Camp. My card design is from a friend and team member Terry Lynn Bright. My main focus at this month’s class was using designer series paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set along with the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies for my card today.

I started by adhering a Pattern Party DSP card front to a Basic White Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from Through It Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink down the center of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Granny Apple Green mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using my Brilliant Wings Dies, I cut the solid butterfly from a panel of Rainbow Glimmer Paper. I cut the detailed butterfly from a panel of Vellum Paper. I adhered the Vellum butterfly to the Rainbow Glimmer butterfly just on the body. I adhered the butterfly to the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Black Classic Matte Dots to the body.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Through It Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Pattern Party DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Pattern Party DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Mother’s Day

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far.

Today’s card has very little stamping and is focusing on designer series paper. We will be making this card tonight at my Stamp Camp card class and just like yesterday’s, everyone will be making the same card, but just a little different. I’ve cut all different DSP and cardstock colors for each of the ladies. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy & Heartfelt Cling Stamp Set and the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered 3 panels of Hand Penned DSP to 3 Highland Heather mats. I adhered the 2 larger layered panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the smaller panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the card front twice and tied a bow.

On a panel of Highland Heather cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I sponged the edges of the panel with Highland Heather Ink using my Sponge Dauber. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Bumblebee Trinkets to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Hand Penned DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat and then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Hand Penned DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Mother’s Day

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do something fun.

Today’s card is one that we are going to make at my Stamp Camp card class tomorrow night. I thought I’d focus on using some designer series paper with the ladies. I know I always used to struggle with how and when to use it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating you Cling Stamp Set along with the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper for my card today. Tomorrow night the ladies are all going to be making this card, but they will all have different designs of the DSP and different color card stock for their cards. I can’t wait to see how different they all come out.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Polished Pink mat and then to a Thick Basic White card base.

I cut 4 panels of the Expressions in Ink DSP using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the 4 cut panels of DSP to 4 Polished Pink mats and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the same side Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to a Polished Pink mat. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Expressions in Ink DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Expressions in Ink DSP on the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness Sneak Peek

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I had my OnTour event yesterday and it was fun seeing some of the new products being used. I can’t wait for mine to arrive. I’ll be at work all day today having fun petting puppies and giving them treats.

I have a sneak peek for you today. I received a stamp set for attending OnTour and I couldn’t wait to play with it. I made a clean and simple card using just Stamps, Ink and Paper (along with a little embellishment). I also did the masking technique. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness Photopolymer Stamp Set for my CAS card today.

I started by cutting a Post-It Note using the 2nd smallest hexagon die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I adhered the hexagon Post-It Note to the center of a Basic White card front. Using my Blending Brush, I added Blushing Bride Ink

I stamped the leaf image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Just Jade Ink on either side of the hexagon mask. I stamped the floral image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set on the leaf images in Misty Moonlight Ink.

I removed the hexagon Post-It and stamped the sentiment from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I added a few Blushing Bride Adhesive-Backed Hexagons to the card front. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade mat and then to a Misty Moonlight mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Blushing Bride card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set over the leaf image in Misty Moonlight Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral images from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Just Jade and Misty Moonlight Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my CAS card and might just have this set on your shopping list. I’ll be making more with it very soon. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Hello

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have plans? Yesterday we had a gorgeous spring day. It was 60 out and my daughter and I were running errands without coats on. Today, well a little different. It’s cold with a mix of rain and snow. I really wish spring would get here and stay.

Today’s card is one that we made at our team meeting on Tuesday night. Every month we have a virtual team meeting and so Mystery Stamping at the end. It’s a lot of fun. Our upline emails us measurements and then at the end of the meeting she tells us how to put the card together. All of our cards are similar but different. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Bundle along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #384.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Basic White card front. I wrapped a piece of the Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the side of the panel and tied a bow.

On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink. I cut a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock into a banner using my Paper Snips and embossed it using the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder. I adhered the banner to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Pansy Dies, I cut the flower and the flower bud from a panel of So Saffron cardstock. I cut the detailed flower outline from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I cut the stem, 2 leaves and detailed leaves from a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock. I sponged some Mint Macaron Ink on the detailed leave die using my Sponge Dauber. I adhered the detailed flower dies to the solid flower pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flower pieces together using Glue Dots. I adhered the leaves behind the flower using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower to the banner panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel that I colored with my So Saffron Stampin’ Blend Marker in the center of the flower. I added a couple Bumblebee Trinkets to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the card front to a Basic Whtie card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the smallest pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the pansy outline and center images from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink over the solid image. I stamped the leaf images from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the pansy. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pansy Petals DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Anniversary

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Hope you are having a productive week and looking forward to the weekend.

Today’s card is another one we made at my class last week. I haven’t used this paper much and I thought it would make a pretty card for the ladies to make. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set along with the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Simply Elegant DSP to a Thick Very Vanilla card base.

I adhered the 4 squares of Simply Elegant DSP to the 4 Very Vanilla mats and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the floral image from the Elegantly Said stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to the center of the 4 squares using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the floral image from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off on scrap paper twice, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Basic Gray mat and then to the inside of the Thick Very Vanilla card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Simply Elegant DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! In Symmetry Thanks

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It’s actually warming up a little here, but this could just be another tease here in NJ. I’m counting the days till spring gets here.

Today’s card is one more that we made at our class last week. I focused on using the 2020-2022 In-Colors since they will be retiring in April. Each of the ladies had a different card for this one. I cut different DSP patterns for each of them to make the cards just a little different. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In Symmetry Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by cutting the center of a Sweet Symmetry card front panel using the 4th largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the larger panel of the DSP to a Just Jade card base.

I adhered the cut panel of Sweet Symmetry DSP to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade & Gold 3/8″ Braided Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow on the side. I adhered the panel to the center of the card front, making sure to line up the flowers, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stem and leaves from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on top of the stem. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on top of the stem. I adhered a panel of Sweet Symmetry DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Sympathy

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend is going well. I’ll be at work all day today and it’s supposed to be a little warmer and rain, but this is NJ we’ll see what happens lol. Yesterday I actually had the day to myself, which is surprising for a weekend. My husband went in one direction, my daughter another and my son another, so it was just me and Jasmine, my dog. I was able to get a few things done, like update my retired list of items that I’m selling. You can see the new items that I added HERE, or by going to my blog at creativestampingdesigns.com and clicking on the top where it says Retirement Sale List. I had a bit of crafters block, so I wasn’t able to get cards done like I planned, but at least it wasn’t a wasted day lol.

Today’s card is another one we made at my class on Tuesday using the 2020-2022 In-Colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set and the 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by adhering a panel of the Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base. I embossed a panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 2 of the largest detail butterflies from a panel of Vellum Paper using the Brillant Wings Dies. I adhered them under the Cinnamon Cider panel using Glue Dots on the wing that was tucked under the panel only. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Bumblebee Ink. I cut the butterfly out using my Brilliant Wings Dies.

I adhered the stamped butterfly image to the card front on the Cinnamon Cider panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Messages Dies and adhered it over the butterfly using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the ends. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Bumblebee Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large butterfly from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Birthday

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend, YAY!!! What’s everyone doing this weekend? Hope you have something fun planned. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing today, but I have to work all day tomorrow.

This past Tuesday I had a card class and we focused on using the 2020-2022 In-Colors. These colors will be retiring come April making room for 5 new In-Colors in May. It’s always sad to see colors go, but also exciting for the new ones. If you love these colors like I do, you might want to grab some Cardstock, DSP, Ink Pads, Markers, Blends or even the Square Gems before they are gone. Here’s one of my cards we made Tuesday night.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the 2020-2022 In-Color Designer Series Paper and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. This stamp set is one of the sets that is on sale as a bundle during the month of March for 20% off.

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base.

I adhered a panel of the 2020-2022 In Color DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the stem/leaf image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the detailed flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink over the stamped off image. I cut the panel using the 4th smallest Stitched Rectangle Die. I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using my Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the artwork to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the artwork

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the stem/leaf image from the Art Gallery in Just Jade Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the solid Flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, on the stem. I stamped the detailed flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink over the stamped off image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Magenta Madness mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
