Stampin’ Up! In The Country CAS Masculine

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend is going well. Before I get going with my card, I just want to remind everyone that Sale-a-bration ends Tuesday, that’s just 2 more sleeps away. If you haven’t gotten everything that you wanted from Sale-a-bration now is a great time to get that order in. Also, I want to remind you that the 2021-2023 In-Colors will be retiring in April. Don’t wait to stock up on the Cardstock, Stampin’ Write Markers, Stampin’ Blends, Ribbons, Embellishments, etc. Stock up now and get some FREE items at the same time.

I have a super quick card for you today and it’s a masculine one. I don’t know about you, but I struggle with masculine cards all the time. I don’t have the need for many, and I avoid making them. This Sale-a-bration set, that will only be available until Tuesday February 28th makes a perfect masculine card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Country Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set along with the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Neutrals DSP to a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the country road image from the In The Country stamp set in Basic Gray Ink.

Using the largest die from the Fabulous Frames Dies, I cut a panel of Basic White and Basic Gray cardstock. I only needed the inner piece from the Basic Gray die cut. I adhered the stamped image to the Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the Basic White frame to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the country road image from the In The Country stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 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! Biggest Wish Bunny

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m not sure about tomorrow.

Today I have a quick fun card that I used my Stamparatus for. The Stamparatus saves lots of time for lining up stamped images. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Bunny 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Best Day Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Bunny 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set on a Basic White card front. I stamped the top in full strength Flirty Flamingo Ink. The 2nd is Flirty Flamingo Ink stamped off once on scrap paper. The 3rd is full strength Mango Melody Ink and the last is Mango Melody Ink stamped off once on scrap paper. I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink overlapping the bottom sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Bunny 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the stamped panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the stamped & embossed panel to a Mango Melody mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Flirty Flaming card base.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Bunny 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using my Playing In The Rain Dies, I cut the bunny image from a panel of Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper. I adhered the bunny to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From another panel of Rain of Shine DSP, I cut the 2 butterflies out using the Playing In The Rain Dies. I adhered the butterflies to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue only on the body of the butterfly.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Bunny 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Best Day stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bunny image from the Playing in the Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mango Melody mat then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Bunny 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from Playing In The Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the front of the envelope. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Rain of Shine Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Double Time Stamping

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Who has today off for Presidents Day? I don’t. That’s a disadvantage of working retail. Even though I work in the office, we’re still open.

Today’s card is pretty much the basics of Stamps, Ink and Paper. I did add a little embellishment, since I thought it just needed a little something extra. I also did one of my favorite techniques, double time stamping. I just love double and triple time stamping. I also did the Spot Light Technique. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by lightly adhering a small panel of Basic White cardstock to a larger panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the large flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the corners of the panels. I removed the small panel and stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings between the flowers in Smoky Slate Ink.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers, I colored just the flowers on the small panel. I adhered the small panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal. Lining up the flowers, I adhered the layered panel to the larger stamped Basic White panel using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panels to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic white panel. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I colored just the flowers in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Birthday 6 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! Very Best Occasions CAS Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be at the dog bakery today, hopefully getting to pet and give some fur friends treats.

Today I have a speedy quick CAS card for you featuring the Sale-a-bration DSP. There’s very little stamping going on today, I let paper and DSP do all the work for me. Can you believe that we are down to our last 10 days of Sale-a-bration and it won’t be back until next year. There’s also only 10 days left for the awesome Stampin’ Up! joining special. Don’t wait until it’s too late, hope on these specials now. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set and the gorgeous Sale-a-bration Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on the inside of the floral oval pattern of Dainty Flowers DSP. I cut the DSP using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I added a Dragonfly Trinket to the panel using a Glue Dot and a couple 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the panel.

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 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog!  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.

Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way

Good Super Bowl Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a good weekend. I have my monthly meeting this afternoon and I’m hoping to get in some craft time. Is anyone watching the Super Bowl tonight? I’m sure it will be on in my house, but I’m not planning on sitting and watching.

I have a speedy quick card for you today. I thought I’d do something simple and let the DSP do most of the work for today. Here’s my card.

Stampin' Up! Lighting The Way CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Lighting The Way CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the swish of fireflies from the Lighting The Way stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Enjoy The Journey DSP. I sprinkled the image with my Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the firefly image from the Lighting The Way stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink at the end of the swish of fireflies. I stamped the glowing firefly tail from the Lighting The Way stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink.

Stampin' Up! Lighting The Way CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the panel of Enjoy The Journey DSP to a Starry Sky mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 2 strips of Silver Foil Paper to either side of the layered panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Lighting The Way CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Starry Sky cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Lighting The Way stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lighting The Way CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Lighting The Way stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered 2 strips of the Enjoy The Journey DSP to either side of the panel. I stamped the firefly from the Lighting The Way stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink by the sentiment . I stamped the tail glow in Daffodil Delight Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Stampin' Up! Lighting The Way CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the firefly images from the Lighting The Way stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the glow on the tail in Daffodil Delight Ink.

Stampin' Up! Lighting The Way CAS 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends 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 Akikos’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rain or Shine Suite for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Balmy Blue card front using the Raindrops Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink 4 times. I colored the images using my Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Playing In The Rain Dies. I adhered the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the bottom of the card front.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of the Rain of Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper I cut out 2 of the critters and the puddle using the Playing in the Rain Dies. For the bunny image, I cut the image our partially and fussy cut around the puddle using my Paper Snips. I adhered the critters and puddle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Playing in the Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Loose Daisy Embellishment to the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Playing in the Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the cloud image from the Playing In the Rain stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from the Playing in the Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Rain of Shine DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Hope your week has started off well. I have my Stamp Camp Card Class tonight and I have nothing prepared. I at least have an idea of what cards we’re going to make. So, today will be spent cutting up cardstock and prepping supplies. The good thing is the ladies that come to the class comment on my cards so I know the one’s they would like to make.

I played with some of the beautiful Sale-a-bration DSP for today’s card. There are only 3 weeks left of Sale-a-bration where you can earn free products with qualifying orders. Plus, for those that have already gotten what they would like from the Sale-a-bration brochure, Stampin’ Up! has added more items. all information is below after my card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Bundle along with the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper for my card today. This Fragrant Flowers Bundle is one of 4 bundles that you get to pick if you want it in Cling or Photopolymer. Which is your favorite kind of stamp?

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Favored Flowers DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the large flower image from a panel of Favored Flowers DSP using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. I adhered the die cut flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Favored Flowers 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:    BFQ24SXS

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 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog!  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.
