I have a sneak peek for you today of a new bundle coming on May 6th, that’s only 4 days away, YAY!! This bundle makes perfect masculine cards, but it’s great for anyone.  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.

Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask?

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. I’m elbow deep in cookie dough and baking away over here. I spent most of the day yesterday mixing all the cookie dough. I baked off the bar cookies that I make every year and today I’ll be shaping and dropping cookies and getting most of them baked.

Today’s card was designed by Rosie Kean and we made it for our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. I love easel cards, and this one is just gorgeous. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus Bundle along with the Wanted To Say Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss the Basic White card front using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder. Adhere the embossed panel to a Petal Pink mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to the bottom section of the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Easel 13creativestampingdesigns.com

Die cut the detailed sentiments using the Wanted To Say Dies from a panel of Petal Pink. Die cut the sentiment mat using the Wanted To Say Dies from a panel of Flirty Flamingo. Adhere the Detailed die to the sentiment mat. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the detailed hibiscus trio image from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus Photopolymer Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo Ink. Stamp the solid flower images from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the detailed images. Cut the flower images out using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid EF and Happy Hibiscus Dies.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Easel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the flowers just under the sentiment using Liquid Glue or Glue Dots. Add a few Drusy Adhesive-Backed Gems to the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the other Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base. Adhere the Happy Birthday sentiment to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, this will be your easel stop.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Easel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish your card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the detailed flower image from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the solid flower image from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Petal Pink over the outlined image. Emboss a panel of Basic White using the Happy Hibiscus EF. Adhere the embossed panel 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.

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! Bistro Burger for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is everyone ready for the weekend? I hope you all have Monday off to enjoy a picnic with friends and family.

Last Tuesday was our Stamping Studio and I led Mystery Stamping. The card I posted last Friday was where I got my design from to share. Today’s card is the one I made during mystery stamping. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today. I adhered 4″ X 4″ & 1″ X 4″ panels of To Market DSP to Crumb Cake mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 1″ X 4″ layered panel to the top scored section of a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4″ X 4″ layered panel to a Basic Beige mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the bottom 2 1/8″ scored section of the Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the burger and fries’ images from the Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Poppy Parade and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Bistro Burger Dies. Using the Bistro Burger Dies, I cut the cutting board die and knife handle die from a panel of To Market DSP, and the knife die from a panel of Smoky Slate. I adhered the knife handle to the knife using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the cutting board die cut to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Seal, trimming off excess using Paper Snips. I adhered the burger, fries and knife using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the happy Father’s Day sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the 1″ X 4″ panel of Basic Beige. I adhered the sentiment to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the scored section of the Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic Beige I stamped the sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies. This sentiment is the stopper for the easel card. I adhered the sentiment towards the bottom of the inner liner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to the card front.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fries image from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Wild Wheat Stampin ‘ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of To Market 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! Bird’s Eye View for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is anyone making plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day today and tomorrow. I had yesterday off for my daughter’s graduation. It was a very long day, my daughter had to be there by 7am so she had to catch the 5am train. My husband, son and I caught the 6:30am train. Taking the train was much easier than driving there since it wasn’t at the college itself. The guest speaker was Neil deGrasse Tyson an Acclaimed astrophysicist, who my daughter really likes. She’s all done and it’s on to work and her PHD.

Today’s card was a special one I made and had to hide it since it was for my daughter’s graduation. I had to pull out a lot of stamp sets for this card to get it exactly how I wanted it. Surprisingly with everything I used, it ended up being only Stamps, Ink & Paper (and a little gem). Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Happy Little Things Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 1″ X 4″ panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the top 1 1/4″ section of the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4″ X 4″ panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″ Night of Navy card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Night of Navy card base, only on the bottom front 2 1/8″ section using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the books (3 times) and bird images from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the glasses image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Highland Heather Ink (because my daughter’s glasses are purple), on the bird. I colored the images using Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut all the images using Paper Snips. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Little Things stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the panel of Basic White and fussy cut it using Paper Snips. I adhered 2 stacks of books, the bird and sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Iridescent Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I stamped the outline sentiment from the Happy Little Things stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the 1″ X 4″ panel of Basic White. I colored it in using the Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the sentiment to the Boho Blue mat then to the 1 1/4″ scored section on the inside of the Night of Navy card base. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere and Lovely & Sweet stamp sets in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Boho Blue mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base,

I placed the fussy cut stack of books on top of the stamped stack of books using Stampin’ Dimensionals for the stopper of the easel card.,

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird and stack of books from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the glassed image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the bird. I colored the images using Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Easel Card

Posted on by

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and 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 Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Garden Meadow Bundle along with the Meandering Meadow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today.

Here is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Meandering Meadow DSP to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to an Orchid Oasis card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the card front to the bottom section only of an Orchid Oasis card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the boots and garden tools images from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Fresh Freesia, Orchid Oasis and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Garden Meadow Dies. From a panel of Basic White, I cut the fence die using the Garden Meadow Dies. I adhered the fence, boots and garden tools to the card front using Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic White using the Nested Essentials Dies. I wanted the banner smaller, so I cut the cardstock part way through, I lifted the die and moved it to the size I wanted it making sure the stitches gripped. I turned the cardstock so that it would go through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine the opposite way and cut the other part of the way through. I then stamped the sentiment from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on the banner. I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies to the card front an a couple Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the banner.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the watering can image from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Fresh Freesia and Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base. I stamped the basket of flowers from the Garden Meadow stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Garden Meadow Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This is the easel stopper.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the wheelbarrow image from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Basic Black, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Orchid Oasis and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadow DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy March!!! Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? Last night I went to a fund raiser with all the ladies I work with from the Hungry Hound Dog Bakery. It’s a lady’s night out and we’ve gone the past few years, it’s for Pediatric Brain Cancer. It’s a silent auction and there’s always a theme. Last night’s theme was Boots and Bling. We all wore different color blingy Cowboy hats that lit up. We laughed and had such a good time. The fund raiser was a huge success too. Here’s a picture of our group that won for the best group category.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle along with the Online Exclusive Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper for my card today. This suite will be available starting in March.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Liquid Glue only on the bottom half of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the smaller panel of Flowering Zinnias to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card base together using Liquid Glue on the 1 1/4″ section to make a binder look. I adhered the layered panel to the 1 1/4″ section of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large zinnia image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using my Banner Pick A Punch, I cut both ends. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adfhesive-Back Shining Sequins (available March 5) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I adhered a Basic White panel to a Mango Melody mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base. I stamped the smaller zinnia and the leaf images from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the images out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the images using Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the zinnia to the bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flower using Glue Dots. I added 1 of the Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the center of the zinnia.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large zinnia image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? Anyone starting to make plans? Who has a nice long weekend for Presidents Day? Not me, even though I work in the office, I work in retail.

Sorry I wasn’t able to go live with this card on Wednesday, I’d had a migraine for a couple days and just wasn’t feeling up to it. So, as most of you know, I work in a hardware store. I work in the office and run the register on the weekends. When Sale-a-bration came out with the Trusty Toolbox DSP, I had to make some kind of a card using all the tools. I did not get the Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools Bundle, so I had to get creative myself.  I decided to make my boss a birthday card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration Cling Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper for my card today. Surprisingly I only used Stamps, Ink and Paper. There still time to get this DSP FREE with a qualifying order of $50 or more during Sale-a-bration.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by fussy cutting a lot of the tools from the Trusty Toolbox DSP using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic Black easel card base to the Gray Granite card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of the Trusty Toolbox DSP to the Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the ruler piece of Trusty Toolbox DSP. I adhered the ‘ruler’ to the top of the front panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered some of the tools I fussy cut to the front panel using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered more of the tools I fussy to the inside pegboard panel of Trusty Toolbox DSP card front using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Gray granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered more of the tools I fussy cut to the panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Trusty Toolbox DSP mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Trusty Toolbox DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow. I’m hoping to get some time to relax a bit since these past couple weekends were so hectic.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. When I went on our retreat in November, one of my team members Susan Stanley had this card for us to make. I actually have 2 versions that I made in different colors and different patterns of DSP.  I liked it so much I used it for my Stamp Camp Card Class on Tuesday night. The ladies loved it. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

For both cards I used the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Meandering Meadow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Tailor Made Tags Dies and Stampin’ Up! Through The Year Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 2 creativestampingdesigns.com
Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering panels of Meandering Meadow DSP to Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green mats using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Layered panels to Blueberry Bushel and Melon Mambo card bases using Liquid Glue. On panels of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Blueberry Bushel and Melon Mambo Inks. Using the 2nd largest Tailor Made Tags Dies, I cut the sentiment partway through. I moved the die up and fit it in the stitches and cut from the other direction to make a smaller tag. I threaded a piece of Linen Thread through the top of the tag and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the small calendars using Stampin’ Dimemsionals.

I folded the smaller panel of Blueberry Bushel and Melon Mambo cardstock in half as a mountain fold. I folded the 2 ends as valley folds. I adhered the folded panel to the inside of the card base with the mountain fold up and Tear & Tape on the valley folds, to the bottom of the card base. I added a few Assorted Glossy Dots to the tag.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base, I stamped the sentiment from Through The Year stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. For the Melon Mambo card, I stamped the sentiment from Through The Year stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using All That Dies and adhered it to the back of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish the card, I decorated Basic White Medium Envelopes. I stamped the floral image from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using Granny Appl Green, Blueberry Bushel and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered panels of Meandering Meadow DSP to the envelope flaps.

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! Night Divine Easel Tea Light Holder

Posted on by
6

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well. I’ll be working all day today at the dog bakery. Hopefully it’ll be nice out and a lot of puppies will be in. Yesterday was a fun day at work with all the cooking going on and the day went by pretty quickly.

Today’s card was designed by one of my team members Linda Nye for our retreat. This is such a gorgeous set and we made some beautiful cards with it. She made another card while we were there using the Hanukkah set and it was stunning. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Night Divine Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Night Divine Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Bundle, Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper, Gold Foil Sheets and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Night Divine Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by lining up the Shining Brightly DSP to the open Night of Navy card base and cutting a circle in the center using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I removed the circles and set them aside to use for the ornament. I wrapped a piece of Night of Navy & Gold 1/2″ Glitter Ribbon around the DSP panel and tied a bow. I adhered the Shining Brightly DSP to the Night of Navy card base lining up the circles using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Night Divine Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the Nativity image from a panel of Night of Navy using the Night Divine Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the inside of the card baes on the back of the circle using Glue Dots. I adhered the Vellum Paper over the Nativity on the back of the inside card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut a Gold Foil Sheet using 2 of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies together to make a frame. I took the framed piece and adhered it to the card front over the circle using Liquid Glue. I set the center Gold Foil piece on the side for the ornament. I adhered the bottom panel of Night of Navy to the back of the card base using Liquid Glue along the 1/2″ scored section.

Stampin' Up! Night Divine Easel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com
Stampin' Up! Night Divine Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

When the card is sitting on a table or mantel, you put a battery-operated tea light behind the image so it lights up.

Stampin' Up! Night Divine Easel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Night Divine stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the bottom panel of the Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a strip of Gold Foil paper towards the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Night of Navy I stamped the sentiment from the Night Divine stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment over the gold strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This is to hold the easel open and set your light behind it.

Stampin' Up! Night Divine Easel 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

On another panel of Very Vanilla I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Photopolymer Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink. I stamped the star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Night Divine Easel 8 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Whild Wheat Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Brightly Shining DSP to the envelope flap. We also got to make a matching ornament using the Night Diving Dies and Stars At Night Dies along with the Shining Brightly DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Easel Fold

Posted on by
4

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. It’s still raining here in NJ. Yesterday was pretty bad with flooding. It took my husband well over an hour to get home because of all the roads closed because of floods. We’re expecting more rain today, but tomorrow it’s supposed to be up in the 80’s again until Wednesday with no rain. Hopefully it will help to dry things up a little and turn the rest of my tomoatoes red.

Today’s card idea I got from a team member of mine Rosie Kean. She made a similar card a few weeks back and I really liked it. I used a couple different techniques on the card using the Blending Brushes and Baby Wipe Technique which is one of my favorites to use in the fall. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made the card, Click Here to see my Instagram Reel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the Aspen Trees Dies, Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Basic White card front using the Aspen Trees Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I took a panel of the Naturally Gilded DSP and using my Blending Brushes added Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie Inks. I adhered the panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Crushed Curry easel card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut embossed card front to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Autumn Leaves Dies, I cut the maple leaf from a panel of Cajun Craze, Oak leaf from a panel of Crushed Curry and Elm leaves from a panel of Pumpkin Pie.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I took 2 folded baby wipes and put them in an empty stamp case. I added drops of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie from Stampin’ Ink Refills. I love this technique for the fall because every leaf comes out different. I inked the large maple leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and stamped it on a panel of Basic White. I cut the leaf out using the Autumn Leave Dies and the leaf veins from a panel of Oxidized Copper paper and adhered it to the stamped leaf. I adhered the leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the oak and elm leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few silver Naturals Adhesive Backed Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink. I stamped 2 maple leaves from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in the top corners of the panel using the same inked baby wipes. You can see how each leaf stamps differently. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on top of the stamped leaves. I adhered a strip of the Naturally Gilded DSP to the bottom of the panel, which I had brushed Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie Inks on with my Blending Brushes. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base. I added the small die cut maple leaf on the bottom of the panel, where I wanted the easel to stop, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the maple leaf from the Autumn Leaves stamp set on the envelope front and flap using the same inked up baby wipes. Once again you can see how every leaf is different. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the stamped leaf.

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.
