Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week is going well. Today is a VERY exciting day for all of us demonstrators. We get to preview the new September -December 2026 Catalog. I can’t wait to see what’s coming. You can see it all to if you join the Stampin’ Up! community. Interested?? Contact me and we can talk about signing you up. I’d love to have you join my team. It’s a very relaxed team that loves to stamp & share. There’s never an obligation to sell, you can join to enjoy the discount for yourself along with all the other demonstrator perks. Contact me and we can talk about it.

Today’s card we made last night with mystery stamping at our meeting. Jaimie sent us some measurements and then talked us through assembling the card together on zoom. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fern & Flora Bundle, Fern & Flor 3D Embossing Folder and the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a panel of Soft Sea Foam using the Fern & Flora EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the Soft Sea Foam card base.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 2 panels of Moonlit Flora DSP to the Garden Green mat. Warp a piece of White Baker’s Twine around the layered panel 3 times and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. From scraps of Sunset Shimmer Vellum and Vellum Paper, cut the fern dies using the Fern & Flora Dies. Adhere the die cuts to the card front with Glue Dots.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the frame image from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. Stamp the sentiment from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Garden Green Ink inside the frame. Using the Fern & Flora Dies, cut out the sentiment. Adhere the sentiment over the die cut fern & Baker’s Twine with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Dewdrop Embellishments to the card front.

On a panel of Basic Whtie, stamp the floral image from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image with Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a strip of Moonlit Flora DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base.

Introducing the hottest items in crafting—the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System!!

The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE STAMPIN’ HOT FOIL SYSTEM?

This is everything included in the Stampin’ Hot Foil System & Craft Class:

  • Metallic Magic Craft Class ($30 value—limited time only!)
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil platform
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Shim & Spacer
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Magnetic Pick-Up Tool
  • Silicone platform station
  • Silicone cooling pad
  • Power cord
  • Instructions on how to use the system

The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (the foil itself), and Hot Foil dies and bundles are sold separately.

CRAFT CLASS

As an added bonus, everyone who purchases this system before January 4, 2027, will automatically be able to access the upcoming Metallic Magic Craft Class, a technique-centric virtual class. Attendees will make unique projects and learn crafting tips intended to elevate their hot foil crafting experience. This class is a special limited-time offer exclusive to this system and is an amazing tool when it comes to increasing skills, learning techniques, and making the most of this new product line.

You can see more details about the system, find the bundles and foil that will be available to order beginning on Friday, July 10 in this brochure:

A few notes about the new system:

  • Hot Foil results are best with either White Willow or Two-Tone Cardstock.  Smoother card stocks like the Two-Tone Cardstock and White Willow will achieve the best results when using the system, but you can use the regular card stocks too.
  • The Hot Foil System, foil rolls and new hot foil dies and bundles will be available Friday, July 10, 2026 in the online Stampin’ Up! store.
  • A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you do!).  You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.
  • The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160. Dies & foil are sold separately.
  • Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock.  So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!
  • IMPORTANT NOTE:  Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling.  You cannot die cut using foiling dies.  Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

I’m so excited for you all to be able to order this new system!  Head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store beginning July 10 to see and order the new system!

July Online Exclusive Product Share

I’m offering a small product share from the upcoming July Online Exclusives. I’m offering a Paper Share and/or an Embellishment & Ribbon Share. If you click on the image below you can open the flyer with the products coming in July.

I’m offering a Paper Share and a Ribbon & Embellishment Share from the July 2026 Online Exclusives, and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on July 1st 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 July 6th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous and fun new Papers in the upcoming July 2026 Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Papers from the 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 papers from the Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $90.00 plus shipping.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the 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 Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $10.50 plus $7.00 for shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Frightfully Fun (6)
  • Frightfully Fun Two-Tone Cardstock (6)
  • Spooktacular (6×6) (4)
  • 2026-2028 In-Color Gingham (5)
  • A Stitched Season (6)
  • Violet Dreams Specialty (5)

If you’d like double shares of the paper, I’m offering those too! I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

Double Paper Share – $21.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping

Ribbon/Embellishment Share – $12.50 plus $7.00 Shipping

All ribbons and Embellishments will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Black 3/8″ Iridescent Ribbon
  • Fresh Freesia 1/4″ Satin Ribbon
  • Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Ribbon
  • Adhesive-Backed Bats Ghosts & Dots (30)
  • Adhesive-Backed Blooms (15)
  • Adhesive-Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (10)

Double Ribbon & Embellishment Share – $25.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping and you will be getting 1/2 of the roll of each ribbon.

Anyone is welcome to join in my shares (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  To make ordering the shares a little easier, I have created a form for you to submit, that way you can order any combination of shares you want. Click Here for the form. I will send out PayPal Invoices on or around June 27th with a due date by June 30th.

Deadline to sign up for my share is Saturday June 27th at 5:00 PM ET.

  • Stampin’ Up! Garden Epoxy Dots (full pack)
  • Stampin’ Up! Berry Burst 1/4″ Shiny Ribbon (full pack)
  • 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.  Since the Bundles are already discounted, the discount does not apply to them either.

The class will be held Sunday April 26th from 1 to 4 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.

The bundles are not included 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 $40 + $10 (Shipping) 

Additional purchased items will be included in the above shipping price.  I will invoice you through PayPal and invoices must be paid by April 5th to insure I can get the products delivered, packaged up and out to you with enough time.  

Deadline: Sunday April 5th 

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

Good Thursday morning stamping friends 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 the awesome projects they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Theme Challenge to work with. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora Friendship 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Fern & Flora Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora Friendship 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the light side of the Secret Sea Tow-Tone cardstock to the front of a Basic White card base. Using the Fern & Flora Dies, cut the flowers from panels of Berry Burst and Golden Glow. Cut the leaf images from panels of Peaceful Pine and Mossy Meadow using the Fern & Flora Dies. Cut the 2 labels from panels of Basic White and Gold Foil Sheet and the flower center from Basic White.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora Friendship 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the light side of the Secret Sea Tow-Tone cardstock, add Secret Sea Ink using the Blending Brush. Using the Blending Brush, add Mossy Meadow Ink to the Mossy Meadow die cuts in the center. Stamp the small leaf image from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Secret Sea Ink all around the edges of the inked panel. Adhere the die cut leaves around the sides of the panel, letting some hang off the edge.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora Friendship 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the die cut label. Adhere the Basic White label to the Gold Foil Label. Adhere the layered labels to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the flower pieces together then adhere the flowers to the card front randomly with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add Dewdrops Embellishments to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora Friendship 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the small leaf image from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink around the top of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea Tow-Tone mat then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora Friendship 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the small leaf image from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front and flap full strength and stamped off once.
