Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Fall Hello

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. I hope everyone’s week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Colors of Fall. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle, Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Bundle and Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Clean and Simple card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #181.  How are you inspired by this photo?

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set on the bottom of a Basic White card front. I embossed the panel using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, I stamped the branch image from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the image our using the Aspen Tree Dies. I adhered the branch to the top of the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped leaf image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks. I stamped the outline image full strength and the fill image in the same color stamped off once. I cut the leaves out using the Chic Dies.

I adhered the Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie leaves to the branch using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Blackberry Bliss and Real Red leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic White panel. Using the Chic Dies, I cut 2 of each of the detailed leaves from Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie cardstock. I adhered the die cut leaves to the top of the panel. I trimmed them even with the panel using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake 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 leaf images from the Season of Chic stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks.

Stampin’ Up! All Bundled Up

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Saturday was beautiful here, then Sunday was overcast, and we had downpours at night. Our backyard was flooded for a bit.

I played with another new set for me from the July – December Mini Catalog for today’s card and kept it very simple. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! All Bundled Up Cling Stamp Set along with the Storybook Gnome Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My sketch is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge # 554.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Storybook Gnome DSP to a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the adorable racoon image from the All Bundled Up stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Pool Party and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the panel using the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the All Bundled Up stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of a Bermuda Bay panel. I adhered the sentiment panel to a Pool Party mat and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut racoon image to a Pool Party mat then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Stars to the card front.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the All Bundled Up stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the snowflake image around the sentiment in Pool Party Ink. I adhered a strip of Storybook Gnomes DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bermuda Bay mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the racoon image from the All Bundled Up stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as for the card. I stamped the snowflake image from the All Bundled Up stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the racoon. I adhered a panel of Storybook Gnome DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. I hope everyone’s week is going well. I had 1 day off this week, and it was yesterday. I made the most of it for sure. By 9am I had brought my daughter to the train station, started laundry, did a sink full of dishes from a mess I made, and I had 20 containers of homemade pesto made. My basil was unbelievable this year, I had leaves the size of my hand, and the smell was amazing. The rest of the day was spent doing my normal chores around the house, running errands, taking the puppy out multiple times, appointments a little bit of gardening and finding time to catch up on emails. I’m really looking forward to my next day off, next Tuesday, already lol.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. This week we have 2 inspiration photos. The inspiration is Travel Abroad or Stay At Home. You can pick something from the photo, or you can go with the colors. Here is my card that was inspired from the 1st challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set, Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch and the Vellum Layering Designs Paper for my Clean and Layered card this week.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #180a or 180b.  Which of the photos are your inspired by?

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Vellum Layering Designs Paper to a Basic Black card base. I only put the adhesive behind where I was going to put the artwork since you can see it through the vellum.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White cardstock, using my Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch, I punched out 5 rectangles. On 2 of the rectangles, I stamped the floral images from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. On 2 of the rectangles, I first stamped the script image in So Saffron Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I then stamped the sentiments in Tuxedo Black Ink over the script. On the last rectangle, I stamped the Eiffel Tower image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the punched rectangle stamps to So Saffron mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Balmy Blue, Poppy Parade, So Saffron and Tuxedo Black on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Thank You

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous one here in NJ, a perfect sunny and not too hot weekend. I was able to enjoy a bit of my Sunday since I only had to work half day.

Today’s card is similar to one that I made at our mystery stamping last Tuesday. I made another one with the same idea using a different stamp set, DSP and dies. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are having a great weekend. I will only be working a half day today, so I’ll have the afternoon to do something. A couple of my cashiers needed off so I’m splitting the day with another cashier that worked with me yesterday.

Today’s card is very similar to one that I made on Thursday except I changed the direction, DSP and embellishments. I also used my least favorite color, but for some reason I really like it for fall cards. I never make 2 cards identical, but I will make them similar by changing direction and some of the components a bit. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Soft Suede mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Crushed Curry card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tree trunk image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the solid treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink over the branches. I stamped the detailed treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink over the Crushed Curry image. I cut the image our using the largest die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out with the smaller die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. Using the same die, I cut a panel of Soft Suede cardstock. I cut the Soft Suede die cut in half and adhered it to the back of the sentiment making a small mat. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dot. I tied a knot with a piece of the Natural Finish 7/8″ Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the tree trunk image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink over the branches. I stamped the detailed treetop image in Pumpkin Pie Ink over the Crushed Curry image. I stamped the splotch image in Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie Inks below the tree. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Suede mat, then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree images from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Soft Suede Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Friendship

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends, welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned. I’ll be working all day today.

This past Tuesday was our team meeting. After we finish with the business part of the meeting, we do some mystery stamping. Our upline Jaimie gives us measurements of cardstock and DSP and lets us know what other products we may need. The rest is up to us. She talks up through what to do and at the end our cards are all similar, but also very different. Here’s what I came up with.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 1 creativestanpingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Bundle along with the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper for my card today. This bundle is only available until September 30, 2022. The stamp set is in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 2 creativestanpingdesigns.com

I started by making a small mark about 1 3/4″ up from the bottom left front of a So Saffron card base. I cut from that mark to the bottom right corner using my Paper Trimmer.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 3 creativestanpingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the apple image from the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Apple Blossoms Dies. I cut a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Stitched Greenery Die.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 4 creativestanpingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut apple image to the Granny Apple Green panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow with Linen Thread and adhered it to the apple stem using a Glue Dot. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White panel. I cut the sentiment out using the Harvest Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card base along the bottom angled edge using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored a few of the Pearl Basic Jewels using my Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered the pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 5 creativestanpingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat then to the inside top of the So Saffron card base. I adhered a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to the inside bottom of the So Saffron card base.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 6 creativestanpingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the apple image from the Apple Harvest stamp set on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Gingham Cottage DSP to the envelope flap.
