Stampin’ Up! Hooray for Honeycomb

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re already halfway through the week. It’s been a rainy one here in NJ so far. I know April showers bring May flowers, but with all the rain we had in March my flowers are drowning.

Stampin’ Up! has a couple new kits. When we were at OnStage last month, one of our prizes was one of the new kits. I’m not a kit person, but I put this one together (giving it a couple of my own touches) and it was a lot of fun. Here’s my cards for today.

This is everything that comes in the kit. It’s an all-inclusive kit. There are 3 of each design card in the kit.

The sentiment was pre-stamped on the balloon. I adhered the balloon to the card front in the center of the other balloons using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a White Baker’s Twine bow and an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the balloon

I adhered the balloon honeycomb to the center of the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink.

The kit comes with coordinating envelopes.

The sentiment was pre-stamped on the banner, I just added the Granny Apple Green banner under the Basic White banner using Glue Dots then added the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the sentiment.

This card said to put the strawberry honeycomb on the front of the card. If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to mail it, so I put it on the inside. for the leafy part of the strawberry, I scored them in half so they would fold easily with the card. I stamped the sentiment from So Sincere stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the inside.

The sentiments came pre-stamped on the clouds. I adhered the sunrays to the card front first using Glue Dots then added the clouds in front of the rays using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the larger cloud.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and might be thinking about getting this kit. These cards are great for the end of the school year, if you have someone graduating or you just want to give that little card of encouragement. I had these 3 cards together in about 15 minutes even with adding my little extras. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers

Posted on by

Good Monday morning stamping friends Happy April and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? Did you all have a nice Easter?

Today’s card I played with something different for me. I mixed up some retiring p9roducts with some that’s carrying over and some new. 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! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelope pack along with the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Bundle, 2″ Circle Punch and Stampin’ Up! Flower Cart Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. These cards & envelope pack will be retiring at the end of the month. I’ve never used them before and I don’t know why, it made such an elegant card.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by coloring the roses on the front of the Gold Foiled Flowers card base using the new 2024-2026 In-Color Pretty Ink Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Stippled Roses Dies, I cut the flowers from a panel of Pretty Ink Pink and the leaves from a panel of Shy Shamrock (both of these colors will be available starting May 1st). I adhered the flowers to the leaves using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered a piece of Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves with the flowers under the sentiment using Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Flower Cart stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Pretty In Pink and shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pretty In Pink mat then to the inside of the Gold Foiled Flowers card base.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated the Very Vanilla envelope that comes with the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Pretty In Pink and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. The envelope flap was already die cut.

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Last I heard it’s supposed to be a nice one here in NJ. I can’t believe we’re at the end of March, which means the days should be getting warmer. Trees have already started to bloom, my crocus and daffodils have been blooming, my tulips are coming up. Before you know it, I’ll be planting my tomatoes and summer flowers.

I have a super quick fun fold for you today using all Online Exclusive products. This is one of the cards I designed for the vendor event I’m doing next month. 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! Latte Love CAS Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive A Little Latte Suite for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love CAS Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of A Little Latte Designer Series Paper to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love CAS Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the cup image from the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink 2 times.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love CAS Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Pecan Pie, I stamped the sentiment from Latte Love stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the end of the sentiment into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered 2 strips of Natural 3/8″ Polka Dot Ribbon to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the cups to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the cup image from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of A Little Latte DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered a panel of A Little Latte DSP to the right side of a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love CAS Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine Card

Posted on by
8

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started off well.

Today’s card is a sneak peek at a new set coming on May 1st. I needed to make a CAS card for the beginner class that I’m doing next month and I thought this one would be perfect. 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! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a Very Vanilla card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set on the top of the card front in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I took another small piece of Pecan Pie Bordered Ribbon and tied a knot around the ribbon. I adhered the layered card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Back Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like this card and this set will be on your wish list. It comes as a bundle with dies and it’s perfect for those masculine cards. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card

Posted on by
10

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I can’t believe we’re already halfway through the week. I think I missed a couple days. I spent all day yesterday reorganizing my craft studio getting ready for all the new products coming. I pulled everything that will be retiring off my shelves to make room.

Today’s cards are ones that we made at our Team Stamp Studio last Tuesday night for mystery stamping. Jaimie had us mad 2 since we were cutting cardstock on a diagonal and didn’t want to waste it. Here’s my cards for today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Bundle along with the Forever Love Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering panels of Forever Love DSP to the Pretty Peacock card bases using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the Very Vanilla panel in half on a diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom right corner using the Paper Trimmer. I cut the panel of Forever Love DSP in half on a diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom right corner using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the Forever Love DSP to the Very Vanilla panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the triangle layered panels to the card base using Liquid Glue along the left side and bottom only. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the image out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I stamped the flower image again on the panel in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the image with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the image using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I adhered the floral image to the triangle panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems to the Embossed panel and Iridescent Foil Gems to the stamped panel.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the smaller panel of Forever Love DSP to the panel of Very Vanilla using Stampin’ Seal. I punched a slit in the center top of the layered panel using the Very Beat Trio Punch. I threaded pieces of Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon through one of the layered panels and Gold & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon through the other layered panel. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiments out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the tags using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back of the panels, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the single flower image from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panels. I adhered the Very Vanilla panels to the back of the tag using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Forever Love DSP to the envelope flaps.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Panels

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend already. We’re having a gloomy week again here in NJ. Sunday and Monday were beautiful days, spring like.

Today’s card is similar to one I made a couple weeks ago except in landscape. This card we made last night at my Stamp Camp Card Class. I showed the ladies both card, portrait and landscape and let them decide which way they wanted to go. Click Here if you’d like to see the portrait version. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Bundle, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic Whtie card front using the Exposed Brick EF. I adhered the embossed panel to an Orchid Oasis card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 3 panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to 3 Orchid Oasis mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the embossed card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Orchid Oasis, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Painted Lavender Dies, I cut the flowers from a panel of Orchid Oasis and the leaves from a panel of Lost Lagoon. I adhered the die cut pieces to the card front using Glue Dots. I tied a small bow using the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack and adhered it to the bottom of the die cuts using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink. I stamped the leaves image from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink, full strength and stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaves image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous day here yesterday in the upper 60’s with the sun shining bright. Today, well it’s a totally different story. It’s supposed to be 50’s and cloudy today and rainy the rest of the week.

I have a quick CAS card for you today using one of my absolute favorite sets from the mini catalog. As most of you know I’m not a fan of Yellow. Stampin’ Up!’s Lemon Lolly has changed my mind. I think this is my favorite yellow ever. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set along with the Radiating Stitches Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the daisy image and sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I colored the daisy centers using the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the panel using the largest Radiating Stitched Dies. I adhered the card front to a Lemon Lolly mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of Lemon Lolly ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered card front to a Basic White thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the daisy image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the flower centers using Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly 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 daisy image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set on the envelope front and flap. I colored the flower centers using Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is your weekend going? I was at work all day yesterday and I’ll be working all day today too. It rained and rained all day yesterday. It was a slow day at work, which tends to make the day long. Luckily the people I work with are all fun and we like to talk.

I have a fun card with lots of layers. I LOVE making cards with layers. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set, Sending Dies, Scalloped Contour Dies and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper for my card today. Because Valentine’s Day is over it doesn’t mean you can’t still use this adorable DSP.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bee Mine DSP to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Petal Pink using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the center of the die cut panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Sending Dies, I cut the sentiment mat from a panel of Sweet Sorbet and the detailed sentiment from a panel of Basic Whtie.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the detailed die to the mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a strip of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the Sending Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bumblebee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Tuxedo Black Ink above the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Bee Mine DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bumble bee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set on the envelope front in Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Tuxedo Balck Inks. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Softly Sophisticated Photopolymer Stamp Set and Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to a Calypso Coral card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Softly Stippled DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Stippled Roses Dies I cut the leaves from a panel of Lost Lagoon and the flowers from a panel of Petal Pink. On a panel of Softly Stippled DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Calypso Coral mat using Glue Dots..

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves between the sentiment DSP and the mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers to the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Opaque Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I colored the small rose stamp from the Stippled Roses stamp set using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Markers. I gave the stamp a little huff and stamped the small rose image on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set on the envelope front, coloring it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature Birthday

Posted on by

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? Yesterday morning after cleaning up from the party, I was able to spend some time in my craft studio. I took Coraline for a nice long walk, it was so nice to see the sun I just had to head outside for a bit. I had a pretty lazy day though since I was exhausted from the party on Saturday.

My monthly class made cards a while back using a die cut piece. I wasn’t sure what to do with it, then my team leader Amy Koenders made a card using the inside of the die cut. I made a similar card using the piece. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Notes of Nature Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Bundle, Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper and Online Exclusive Garden Meadow Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Notes of Nature Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Vellum Paper to the top of the layered panel using Stampin’ Seal under where the arch is going. I adhered the layered panel to a Pebbled path card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Notes of Nature Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Garden Meadow Dies, I cut the arch die from a panel of Basic White. I adhered the arch to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the large floral die from the Lovely & Sweet Dies, I cut the image from a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the image to the arch using Glue Dots. I cut the leave dies from the Notes Of Nature Dies and Lovely & Sweet Dies from a panel of Gold Foil Paper. I adhered the leaves under the large floral image using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Notes of Nature Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I tied a small bow using the Simply Elegant Trim and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Petal Pink Foiled Gems from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Notes of Nature Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a die cut panel that I cut from a pane of Nature’s Sweetness DSP using the Lovely & Sweet Dies. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I trimmed off the excess using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! Notes of Nature Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stamp’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the envelope flap.

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

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   T9JKA3XQ

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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.
