Stampin’ Up! Coneflower Celebrations 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 #219 is Blooms & Butterflies. 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! Coneflower Celebrations Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Coneflower Celebration Bundle for my card today. I was inspired by the Butterfly on the Flowers 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 219.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Registration now Open for our September Online Class

Tara Carpenter and I are teaming up to offer an online Fall card class using Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Gathering Together Suite.  We will be creating 6 different cards during the class including 2 Beginner Stamper cards, 2 Casual Stamper Cards and 2 Advanced Stamper Cards. Sign Up now by Clicking Here to reserve your spot.

The class fee includes:

  • Pre-cut card kits to complete each card
  • Zoom class with complete instructions to complete each card
  • PDF with detailed directions

During sign up you will have the option to add additional items to your order that you can take advantage of at no additional shipping cost.  These items are optional, however if you want to recreate the cards you will need them. If you’ve attended a previous class, you were given a discount code, there is a spot to put that code on the form and the discount only applies to the products that you check off that you wish to purchase, not the class.

The class will be held Sunday September 28th from 1 to 5 pm Eastern Time via Zoom.  This allows anyone in the United States to participate live!  Can’t join us live… no worries, we will record the session so it can be replayed at any time.

I will email written directions that will include directions, cardstock cuts as well as photos to help you create each card.

I am not including the bundle or stamp set in the price of the class.  You can purchase the bundle through me at an additional 10% discount of the Online Exclusive price (see below).

Class Cost $35 + $10 (Priority Shipping) 

Additional purchased items will be included in the above shipping price.  I will invoice you through PayPal and invoices must be paid by September 14th to insure I can get the products delivered, packaged up and out to you with enough time.  

Deadline: Sunday September 14th (this is so I have time to order all the products being used)

Click Here to register for the class now!! Let me know if you have any questions.
