Stampin’ Up! In The Moment for The Card Concepts.

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend.

We’re back with inspiration challenges from The Card Concepts. We will be doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #200 is Autumn Chill. 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! In The Moments Autumn 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

My card today features the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Photopolymer Stamp Set (for the envelope). I was inspired by the different elements in the photo, the wood background, the sweater/blanket, the book and coffee cup for my Clean & Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 200.  How are you inspired by the photos?

I adhered 2 more panel of All About Autumn DSP to Pebbled path mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Abundant Beauty Hello for The Card Concpets

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend.

We’re back with inspiration challenges from The Card Concepts. We will be doing month-long challenges now.  The inspiration photo #199 is Country Style. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the gorgeous new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set and the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean & Layered card today. I was inspired by the sunflowers in the inspiration photo along with the black & white gingham and red ribbons in the photo. I also kept with their colors too.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 199.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by randomly stenciling the sunflowers using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks on a Basic White card front. I used Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry Inks on the sunflowers, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Inks for the sunflower centers and Garden Green Ink for the leaves.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the card front using the Distressed Tile 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Real Red mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Ribbon and Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a thin strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the red Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stenciled the sunflowers and leaves using the Abundant Beauty Masks, coloring them the same as I did for the car front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a real Red mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.,

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stenciled the sunflower images from the Abundant Beauty masks on the envelope front and flap the same as I did for the card.

Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Framed 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ocean Front Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the overall theme, beach and birds in the photo.

I started by stamping a Basic White card front using the Oceanfront stamp set. I stamped the center water image first using Tahitian Tide Ink. I then stamped the sky image using Tahitian Tide Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Last I stamped the sand image on the bottom in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the detailed sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the already stamped sand image. I stamped the tall grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the side. I stamped the cattails image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink next to the tall grass. I adhered the artwork to the center front of a Tahitian Tide card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Fun On Wheels for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already. I hope everyone is having a good week. I had my card class last night and had a lot of fun with the ladies. I look forward to getting together with them each month. We get to chat while they are making their 4 cards. Some of them bring some ‘show & tell’. Each month some of them bring cards that they have made since our last class, and I let them pick a little gift. One of the ladies brings everyone a homemade paper craft to share.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have 2 inspiration photos this week and you can choose whichever photo you prefer, or you could create two separate cards, one for each photo! The inspiration photo 197a is Industrial Modern and photo 197b is Nature Calls. Here is my card inspired by the photo.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fun On Wheels Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiment Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stripes and Splatters 3 D Embossing Folders and Banner Pick A Punch for my Clean and Layered Card today. I was inspired by the colors from photo 197a.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 197a or 197b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing an Early Espresso card front using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Tahitian Tide card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a strip of Sweet Sorbet using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of Tahitian Tide on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the mat image from the Stampin’ Up! Fun On Wheels Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. Using the Fun on Wheels Dies, I cut the bike frame from a panel of Tahitian Tide and the wheels and seat from a panel of Basic Black. I adhered the seat and wheels to the bike frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Sweet Sorbet, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the end using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the bike to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fun on Wheels stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using Basic Black and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Write Markers, I colored the bike image from the Fun on Wheels stamp set. I gave it a huff and stamped it on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Tahitian Tide card base.

Stampin' Up! Fun On Wheels 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bike image from the Fun on Wheels stamp set on the envelope front. I colored the stamp using Basic Black and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Write Markers. I embossed a panel of Tahitian Tide using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it 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! Quiet Meadow for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already. I hope you are all having a good week.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have a new fun challenge this week.  The inspiration photo #196 is Patriotic Picnic. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by the stars and stripes in the photo along with the Colors and Flowers.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 196.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by inking up the Stripes Embossing Folder, from the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder, with Real Red Ink. I ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine on a Basic White card front. I did this twice to get the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the embossed panel to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers using Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink multiple times on the panel over the flower, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the panel.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the scalloped die from the Zany Zoo Dies, I cut a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. I adhered the scalloped strip behind the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Blueberry Bushel cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I colored the flowers with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the flowers, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered a strip of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the flowers. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already. I hope everyone is having a good week.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts We have 2 inspiration photos this week and you can choose whichever photo you prefer, or you could create two separate cards, one for each photo! The inspiration photo 195a is Floral Spring and photo 195b is Garden Birds. Here is my card inspired by the photo.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Friendship 1 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set along with the Inked Botanical 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Basic Borders Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by photo 195a, Floral Spring. I just love spring flowers.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 195a or 195b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Friendship 2 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic Whtie and Calypso Coral cardstock using the Basic Borders Dies. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the large flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set over the leaf image. I inked up the stamp using my Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the stem of the large flower image. I inked up the stamp using the Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers.

I adhered a panel of Inked Botanical DSP to the Lost Lagoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic Whtie die cut panel to the Calypso Coral die cut panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Friendship 4 creativestampiungdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the sentiment and Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already and at the end of April. This month just flew by for me. I hope your week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have a new challenge this week and I just love these colors.  The inspiration photo #194 is Spring Bouquet. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Clean and Simple card. I was inspired by the bouquet of flowers in the center of the table and the soft colors.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 194.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the larger flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I masked the image using a Post-It note. I stamped the smaller flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on either side of the larger flower. I masked the small flower and stamped one more of the small flowers. While the masks were on the flowers, I stamped the leaves from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the flowers. I stamped the splotch image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the flowers. I removed the masks.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I colored the flowers using the Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the card font.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set on the bottom of the panel and the smaller flower on the top of the panel. I stamped the leaves in Soft Sea Foam Ink and the splotch in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the flowers using my Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the smaller flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope flap. I stamped the leaves from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Sof Sea Foam Ink and the splotch image in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the flower in using my Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already. I hope your week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have a double challenge this week. It’s the second challenge of the month, we are posting two challenge photos!  You can choose whichever photo you prefer, or you could create two separate cards, one for each photo! The inspiration photo #193a is New Arrival and 193b is Busy Bee.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Bundle, the Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Bundle, the Hive 3D Embossing Folder and the Beautiful Shapes Die for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the inspiration photo 193b with the colors and bees. All these Items will be retiring at the end of the month except for the color. If you would have told me that less than a week after I got the new In-Colors that I would be using the Wild Wheat, I would have said you were crazy. It’s my least favorite color, but it works so well with these stamp sets.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 193a or 193b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I embossed a panel of Wild Wheat cardstock using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. Using my Wink of Stella brush, I flicked some shimmer on the embossed panel.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large bee from the Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the 3 small bees from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the same panel. I cut the small bees out using the Honeybee Blossoms Dies and the large bee using the Queen Bee Dies. I colored the bees using the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the hive embossed panel to a Wild Wheat card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut Basic Black card front over the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bees to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the 3 bees from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink by the sentiment and on the bottom of the panel. I colored the bees using my Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large bee from the Queen Bee stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the 3 smaller bees from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope flap. I colored all the bees in using my Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Stampin’ Up! Easter Bunny for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already. I hope your week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. I like to try to work with something from the photo and the colors when I’m making my card for the challenge. It took me a minute, but I was able to work with both. The inspiration photo #192 is Happy Easter.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Easter Bunny Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Fancy Flora 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the brick of the fireplace and the bunny on top in the grass on top along with the colors of the photo.

I hope you will play along with our challenge #192 over at The Card Concepts. How are you inspired by this photo?

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by creating the background brick panel. Using my Crumb Cake Ink Pad, I covered the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder with ink. I place the panel of Basic White cardstock in the folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the card front to an Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Fancy Flora DSP to Evening Evergreen mats using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack around the 4 1/4″ panel and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the other layered panel on top of the 1st panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I added some shading using Crumb Cake and colored the inside of the ears with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Marker. I fussy cut the bunny using my Paper Snips. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the grass image from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink along the bottom of the panel. I colored the grass using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the bunny to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Bunny stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the grass image from the Easter Bunny stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink along the bottom of the panel. I shaded the bunny using Crumb Cake, the ears using my Flirty Flamingo and the grass using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Whtie mat then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from the Happy Easter stamp set on the envelope front in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the grass image in Evening Evergreen Ink along the envelope bottom. I colored the grass using Soft Succulent, shaded the bunny with Crumb Cake and ear with Flirty Flaming Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the 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 – 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.

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

Today is the big day for us demonstrators. We get to preview the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Stay tuned for the retiring list that I’ll be posting soon. I’ll get it posted just as soon as I can. I’m planning on going live today at 4pm on my Facebook page, so I may be able to announce some of the colors that will be leaving and the names of the new colors.

Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already. I hope your week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. It’s the second challenge of the month, we are posting two challenge photos!  You can choose whichever photo you prefer, or you could create two separate cards, one for each photo! The inspiration photo #191a is Signs of Spring and #191b is Butterfly Blues.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Photopolymer Stamp Set, Basics 3D Embossing Folder and Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by the inspiration photo #191a by the colors and the eggs in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 191a or 191b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 strips of Neutrals DSP to the top and bottom of a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the branch image from the Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the nest and bird from the Nested Friends stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the nest using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers and the bird using Crumb Cake and Ivory Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Nested Friends Dies. I stamped the splotch image from the Nested Friends stamp set in So Saffron Ink on a panel of So Saffron cardstock. Using the Nested Friends Dies, I cut the eggs from the panel of So Saffron and the leaves from a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I adhered the nest to the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals, the eggs and bird to the nest using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the end of the strip using the Happy Label Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Enamel Dot Essentials to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Nested Friends stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the bird from the Nested Friends stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the branch image from the Nested Friends stamp set on the envelope front in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the image with Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Neutrals DSP to the envelope flap.
