Stampin’ Up! Sunrise Sailing for The Card Concepts

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

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #218 is Summer Days. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing Congratulations 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sunrise Sailing Bundle along with the Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. I was inspired by the theme ‘Summer Days’ along with the colors for my Clean & Layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 218.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts.  We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #215 is Floral Heart. 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 that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Thankful Garden Bundle along with the Textured Florals Dies for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the colors in the photo along with the flowers on the heart.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 215.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Using the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend Marker, strike it on something hard like your Bone Folder, to add a splatter on a Basic White card front. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up!

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.

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! Peaceful Seasons for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ll be starting my baking on Thursday early morning and continue until I’m done, hopefully by Saturday. This year for the first time in quite a few years, my daughter will be able to bake with me. In the past she’s always had finals and would be studying, or when she was in high school, she would have a fencing event. I’m looking forward to having her by my side helping.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #212 is Christmas Wreath. 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 that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Season Bundle, which is a Last Chance item, along with the Nature’s Paintings Kit and the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Cling Stamp Set for my Clean & Layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 212.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut down the panel from the Nature’s Paintings Kit to a 4″ X 5 1/2″ panel. Color the image using the Watercolor Pencils that come in the kit. Use the Water Painter that comes in the kit to blend the color and spread it around.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Cherry Cobbler, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the Peaceful Season Dies.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thread a piece of Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ Satin Ribbon through the die cut sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the ribbon to the back of the Nature’s Paintings panel using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the card front panel to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful Season stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. Stamp the holly image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Garden Green Ink in the corners of the panel. Color the berries on the holly using the red watercolor pencil. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the holly image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front and flap. Color the berries on the image using the red watercolor pencil.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

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

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.

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.

My January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 7th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the January Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $130.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $38.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!

New Ribbon Share – $11.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate for The Card Concepts

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

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #210 is Pumpkin Season. 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 that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Rustic Crate Dies, Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin’ Up! Caring Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Deckled Circle Dies and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean & Layered card. I was inspired by the pumpkins in the photo along with the overall rustic feel of the photo, the colors and of course the gingham.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 210.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a Gray Granite card front using the Leaf Fall EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Gray Granite card base using Liquid Glue. From a panel of Basic Black, cut the Deckled Circle Die and from a panel of Basic White, cut the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White die cut circle. Color the image with Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the artwork circle to the Basic Black Deckled circle using Stampin’ Seal. Cut the crate using the Rustic Crate Dies from a panel of Country Woods DSP. Adhere the crate on top of the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Cut the sentiment from a panel of Gray Granite using the Rustic Crate Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the layered panel.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Marker, color a piece of Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon. Wrap the ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the artwork over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. Add a few Pumpkin Pie Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Caring Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the pumpkin image on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black. Color the image using Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Adhere a strip of Country Woods DSP to the envelope front. Stamp the pumpkin image from Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and color it the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I just wanted to take a quick moment to remember those that lost their lives on this day in 2001. I think we can all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing. Living so close to NYC I was extremely scared not knowing if anything else was going to happen.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #209 is Fall Florals. 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 that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Cheerful Daisies Dies and Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Cling Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the yellow daisies and gingham ribbon from the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 209.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Cheerful Daisies Dies, cut 3 of the branches from a panel of Mossy Meadow. On a panel of Basic Beige stamp the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the small daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Cut the sentiment out using the Cheerful Daisies Dies.

Randomly stamp the leaf image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink around the edges of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base.
