Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia CAS

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How are you all doing today. Yesterday was a tough day at work for me after the long weekend away. I need to get caught up on some sleep.

Today’s card is similar to one that we made at our team meeting last Sunday using Online Exclusive products but stepped up a little with extra layers. 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! simply Zinnia CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper along with the All That Dies for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

I adhered another panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the All That Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Inks on the side of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias 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! Layering Leaves Zinnias

Goos Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I definitely do, I’ll be stamping with friends, seeing new things coming in May and throughout the year and just having a good time with all my stamping friends here at OnStage. Yesterday was a great day with lots of tips and presentations and we did so much laughing, I was crying. I learned some new techniques that I can’t wait to share with my Stamp Camp class. Last night they had a recognition party for us and gave us all a free stamp set. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us today.

I have another quick card for you using the gorgeous Online Exclusive DSP and an older stamp set. 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 for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the All That Dies, Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Highland Heather card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Highland Heather Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the All That Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I added a piece of Parakeet Party 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set by the flower and the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Zinnias 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower and leaf images from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. By the time you are reading this I will be flying to Houston TX for our Stampin’ Up! Onstage Event. I can’t wait to get there to meet up with all my team members. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. I kind of turned and flipped the sketch for my card. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Cling Stamp Set and the Artistic Dies for my card today. I also used the Everyday Details Dies to make a mat to color the circle.

Here is our sketch for this week.

My colors are from the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #532.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the largest circle die from the Everyday Details Dies from a scrap paper. I placed the cut paper over a Basic White card front and using my Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink towards the top of the circle. I adhered the layered panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Artistic Dies, I cut the leaf die from a panel of Old Olive. I adhered the die cut leaves to the card front using Liquid Glue. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped 2 more of the flowers in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Old Olive Ink by the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Old Olive Ink next to the flowers.

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves CAS Zinnias

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? We had our quarterly in person team meeting yesterday. We got to stamp together and chat a bit. Quite a few of us are getting really excited for our OnStage convention coming up this weekend. We leave Thursday morning bright and early for Houston. I can’t wait to see the new catalog and the new 2024-2026 In-Colors.

Today’s card is a super quick and easy one that we made yesterday at our meeting. This card was designed and presented by Monica Hollis. All the card we made yesterday used Online Exclusive products so over the next week I’ll be sharing the cards we made. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves CAS Zinnias 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves CAS Zinnias 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Pumpkin Pie card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you all remember to spring ahead with your clocks. Most of ours do it on their own, so I only had a couple to take care of. It poured here in NJ yesterday and last night. I’m just so tired of all the rain. I have hydrangeas all around my home. One of the one’s in my backyard is not surviving all the rain, I’m going to have to try to save it by transplanting it to dryer grounds. My backyard is a giant sponge.

Today I have a super simple quick and easy card for you using some Online Exclusive products. 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! Simply Zinnia CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set along with the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP using the Zinnia EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be at work all day Saturday and then we have out quarterly team meeting in person on Sunday. I love those meetings; we get to stamp together and chat for a bit and of course laugh.

Today’s card I was planning on doing on my live on Wednesday afternoon, but my contractor had other plans. After waiting 5 months for him to come replace doors in my craft studio and around the house, he thought Wednesday was the perfect day.  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! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Meadow Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I then cut the leaf die from the Meadow Dies from the center of the Basic White panel. Using my Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker, I flicked specks on the die cut panel.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the left front of a Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the DSP card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the leaf stem using a Glue Dot. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the right front of the Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink 2 times on the bottom of the panel, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the side of the panel. I blended the flowers using a Blender Pen to spread the color a little. I flicked a little ink using my Starry Sky Stamp’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope front in Starry Sky Ink twice, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink over the script image. I blended the flowers using my Blender Pen. I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia in Pastels for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge and they are my FAVORITE colors, the Subtles. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder along with the Lighter Than Air 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Wild Fern Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Lighter Than Air DSP to a Balmy Blue card base using Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Basic White using the Zinnia 3D EF and adhered it to a Balmy Blue mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large zinnia flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I used Smoky Slate Ink to keep with the pastel look of the card. I cut the image out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the image using the Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the flower image to the card front using Stamin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a strip of Basic White. I cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. I tied a bow using the Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack and adhered it to the flower stem using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Wild Fern stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large zinnia flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Lighter Than Air DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large zinnia flower form the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Lighter Than Air 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! Perennial Postage Panels

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.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

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.

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.

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:   AHZBFDC4

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.
