Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Friendship

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. We’re back to rain here in NJ. This has been one wet winter so far and not with snow. The snow we were supposed to get, turned out to be a big disappointment last week. This back-and-forth temperature has been horrible. Last week we were in the teens and this week back up to the 50’s.

I have a fun card today featuring Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper. You can earn this paper FREE with a qualifying order of $50. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Friendship 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, the Waves Dies and Sale-a-bration Most Adored Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Friendship 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 panels of Most Adored DSP to Real Red mats using Stampin’ Seal. I embossed a Basic White card front using the Layered Florals EF.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Friendship 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Liquid Glue, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Basic White. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Waves Dies.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Friendship 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I threaded 1/4″ Real Red Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack through the sentiment. I adhered it to the back of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Real Red card base using Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Friendship 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in real Red Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the open-heart images from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the inside of the Real Red card base.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Friendship 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the open-heart images from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Most Adored 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.

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! Fluffiest Friends for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. How is everyone’s week going? It’s been nothing but rain for the last 24 hours. Heavy rain and windy. We were in a State of Emergency starting yesterday because of flooding. I was up half the night listening to the rain, wind and my sump pump gong off every 2 minutes. The good thing is, it’s going off and keeping the water away from my house the best it can. I believe the flood warnings are in effect until 6pm tonight.

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 #203 is New Year Love. 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! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Photopolymer Stamp Set, Tree Rings Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Circles Dies, Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 203.  How are you inspired by the photos?

I joined in with Global Design Projects #427.

I started by embossing a panel of Pecan Pie using the Tree Rings EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Garden Green mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 panels of Bee Mine DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the adorable beaver image from the Stampin’ Up!

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I adhered a piece of Sweet Sorbet Bakers Twine from the 2022-2024 In-Color Bakers Twine Pack to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the Bakers Twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive Backed Hearts & Flowers embellishment to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I stamped the beaver image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the top of the wood pile image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink below the beaver. I colored the images the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base,

Starter Kit Special during Sale-A-bration! Shop for up to $125 worth of anything you want, Pay $99 plus tax get FREE Shipping, and A FREE Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio!

The Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio is a paper crafter’s dream! The heavy-duty glass mat comes printed with a ruler and grid lines for easy measuring, while the large surface space gives ample room for spreading out while paper crafting. The safety-tempered glass has a heat and scratch resistant surface that wipes clean with the included cloth and water—no chemicals needed. The reusable cloth also cleans ink off your stamps! The nonslip, heat resistant, waterproof silicone mat features four palette squares for mixing custom ink colors or for holding small ink spots in place while crafting. Each component can be used separately, or you can use all three items together for a multipurpose paper crafting studio that’s both functional and elegant.

Option 2 – Instead of the Glass Mat Studio you can choose $125 worth of product PLUS an additional $30 worth of product of your choice when you join for $99. That’s a $155 value!

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Stenciled

Good Monday morning stamping friends and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Welcome to a new week, a new month and a New Year. Did everyone have a nice new year’s? What did you all do? We made a bunch of appetizers, watched a movie and just relaxed. My daughter is still recovering from covid, so it was a very quiet night. I spent a little time in my craft studio and thinking about some changes or resolutions I’d like to accomplish this year. Every year on New Year’s Day I clean, reorganize and rearrange my craft space. I’m not sure that is going to get done this year since I just moved into this space a few months ago.

I played with the new stencil from the upcoming catalog for today’s card. This time I used it without stamping first. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! enduring Beauty Decorative Masks. Enduring Beauty Dies, (all available Jan 4) Deckled Rectangle Dies and Online Exclusive One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I cut another panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I started with #1 stencil form the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, using the Blending Brush, I added Poppy Parade Ink. Next, I used Lemon Lime Twist with the Blending Brush and Stencil #2. Stencil #3 I used the Blending Brush with Poppy Parade Ink again and Stencil #4 I used Lemon Lime Twist Ink with the Blending Brush again. Lastly, I used Stencil #5 with Pecan Pie Ink and the Blending Brush. I cut the image out using the Enduring Beauty Dies. I adhered the floral image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Enduring Beauty Dies. I adhered 1/8″ Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Pack, to the back of the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems (available Jan 4) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I adhered 2 thin strips of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to either side of the panel I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Tomorrow is the last day to Join my January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. 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 15th.

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!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail 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):

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker

Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend and Happy New Year’s Eves Eve. Hard to believe that another year has come to an end. Is anyone starting to make plans? We’ll be staying in as usual. My husband was supposed to have some friends over, but my daughter has covid so no visitors here. I’ll be working all day today and I have to go in tomorrow morning to close out for the month and year.

Since I missed yesterday’s fun fold Friday, I thought I would make kind of a fun fold. I actually lost track of the days this week and thought Wednesday was Tuesday and forgot to do my live. The holidays tend to do that to me sometimes, especially when it falls on a Monday. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card today, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set (available January4), along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies, Best Label Punch and the Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today. This DSP will be available free with a qualifying order of $50 or more starting January 4th.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Misty Moonlight using the 2nd largest die from the Deckled Circles Dies. I scored the circle in half and folded it to make the card base. I cut a panel of Flight & Airy DSP using the 3rd largest Deckled Circles Dies and cut the circle in half using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the cut panels of the DSP to the front and back of the Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered another panel of Flight & Airy DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the top of the card base using Liquid Glue, making sure to put the panel low enough so it would fit in the envelope. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the bird in using my Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils. I fussy cut the bird using Paper Snips. I adhered the bird to the top section of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small piece of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Best Label Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Tinsel Gems Three Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the cross-hash image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image with my Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card, and this set and DSP are on your wish list for the upcoming catalog starting in January.  Happy Stamping!!

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:

  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.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th.

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!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Notes of Nature

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Well, there are only 5 more sleeps until Christmas. I’ll be going out shopping with my daughter today after I’m done with work, and she’s done with her last final exam. We’re heading to a quaint little town with all kinds of little shops. It’s supposed to be a sunny cool day, so it’ll be nice walking around the town. I’m hoping to get whatever else I need today so that I can get things wrapped. I’m going to be playing it close since I have to work the next 5 days and I don’t have my normal time off.

I played with a new suite from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog for today’s card. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin'[ Up! Lovely & Sweet Notes of Nature 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Buzz

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I’ll be working today and tomorrow we have out quarterly meeting that I’ll be going to.

I played with a new set from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog for today’s card. This is such an adorable suite. I just received my catalog in the mail yesterday. There’s something about having a printed copy in front of me that I just love. I love the idea of being able to flip back and forth between pages to see things. I’ll be ordering my catalogs for my customers on Tuesday and packing them up and shipping them out as soon as I get them. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! bee My Valentine Buzz 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Bundle and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper for my card today. These items will be available for purchase starting January 4th.

Stampin' Up! bee My Valentine Buzz 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the beehive panel of Bee Mine DSP to the top of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the plaid panel of Bee Mine DSP to the bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! bee My Valentine Buzz 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Pool Party, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the dotted image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! bee My Valentine Buzz 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the bumble bee image from the Bee My
Valentine
stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the bees’ strips and face from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink over the bee image. I cut the image out using the Bee Builder Punch. I stamped the antenna image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel and cut them out using the Bee Builder Punch. I stamped the wings image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Pool Party Ink on a panel of Vellum paper. I cut the wings out using the Bee Builder Punch. I adhered the antenna and wings to the back of the bee using Glue Dots. I adhered the bee to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Sweet Sorbet 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (part of the Bee Mine Suite available in January) and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Tuxedo Balck Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the dotted image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Pool Party Ink on either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! bee My Valentine Buzz 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bumble bee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set on the envelope front in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the bees’ stripes, wings antenna and face images from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine 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.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you $108.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. 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 15th.

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!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail 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):

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6
  • Poetic Expressions – 6
  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper 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.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

Anyone is welcome to join in my share (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  If you’d like to join, email the following information to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com

  • Your first and last name
  • Your mailing address for paper to be shipped to.
  • The email address that is connected to your PayPal account or let me know if you’d like to use Zelle.

If you’d like to use Zelle, email me and I’ll give you the number associated with my account.

Deadline to sign up for my share is Tuesday, January 2nd at 5:00 PM ET.

Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you all ready for the weekend? Does anyone have any plans yet? I have off tomorrow for our Virtual OnStage @ Home event. So, I’ll be sitting in front of my computer from 11am-5pm.

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 is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Suite, Radiating Stitches Dies and Garden Meadow Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. For the main front panel, I scored and folded a panel of Basic White Thick cardstock at 1/2″ & 1″ on either side. I cut the center of the panel out using the arch from the Garden Meadow Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White, I cut 3 sets of the snowbanks using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the bunny image from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the image out using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I cut 2 trees from a panel of Early Espresso using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I adhered one of the trees to the outside of the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the other tree behind the arch to the inside of the panel. I adhered the snowbank dies to the bottom of the Basic White card front panel using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals, off centering them to give some dimension to the snow. I adhered the bunny between the snow using a Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to the Misty Moonlight card base using Tear & Tape, making sure to line up the sides evenly.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the larger circle from the Radiating Stitches Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a snowflake from the Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the bunny and snowbank image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink next to the trees. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaf Fall for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. It’s amazing how quickly you can get back into the routine after being away for a few days.

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 #201 is Fall Leaves. 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! Autumn Leaves Fall 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. I was inspired by the overall theme of the photo for my Free Style Collage card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 201.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Leaf Fall EF. I wrapped a piece of Copper Clay 3/8″ Textured Ribbon around the bottom of the panel and adhered it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I had a whole stack of scraps from the All About Autumn DSP, so I cut the elm, maple and oak leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies. This is a great way to used up some of those scraps.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I randomly adhered the die cut leaves under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered 2 strips of the All About Autumn DSP to the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Fall 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the All About Autumn DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   BX4UV6HE

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

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.
