Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. How are you all doing today? I hope you’re getting your orders in for the new mini catalog and online exclusives. I got mine in bright and early yesterday morning for my product shares. I’ve got another one ready to go for things I forgot. I always seem to forget to order something.

I played with one of the new bundles and DSP from the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog for today’s card. I really love this suite; I can’t help but smile when I look at it. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs Friendship 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Bundle along with the Cute as A Bug Designer Series Paper and All in a Row Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design for today’s card is from Sunday Stamps Bubble Up Challenge #376

Emboss the panel of Basic White using the All in a Row EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the Crushed Curry card base (you all know this is not my favorite color, but after pairing all different color card bases this one looked the best). Adhere the panel of Cute as a Bug DSP to the right side of the embossed panel.

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week and the last Monday of 2025. Another year just about gone and a new one to start in just a few days. How was your weekend? I didn’t do anything that I planned to do. I was going to spend time in my card studio getting some cards made and just enjoying some creative time. That did not happen. I need everyone in my house to go back to work so I can have the house to myself.

I think this bundle and DSP that I used for today’s card has to be my favorite since I find myself using it a lot. I especially love DSP that has script on it.  If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Sunshine & Tulips

Posted on by
4

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s been really busy here at our house. I got all my cookies done and today I’m hoping to get all my trays put together and ready for delivery tomorrow. Friday night I went to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra with my husband and daughter. The concert was amazing to say the least. I love concerts that also include light shows and they DID NOT disappoint. The music was fantastic and between the lights, lasers, fire, dancing drones and fireworks my heart was full.

Today’s card was actually supposed to be my post for yesterday, but since I didn’t get home from the concert until almost 1am and I had to get up early for work, I just couldn’t get my post done on time. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sunshine & Tulips Stamp Set (available January 6) along with the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and 1 7/8″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to a Secret Sea mat. Adhere the smaller panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the coordinating Secret Sea mat. Adhere the smaller layered panel to the larger layered panel on the left side. Wrap a piece of Secret Sea 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon around the layered panels. Adhere the layered panels to the Petunia Pop card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Punch out the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch from a panel of Basic White. Stamp the outside of the tulip image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on the circle. Stamp the small inside tulip image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outside image. Draw a stem on the tulip using the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker. Stamp the leaf image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the stem. Cut the 3rd largest Circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Secret Sea. Adhere the stamped circle to the Secret Sea circle. Adhere the layered circle to the card front, over the ribbon, with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Secret Sea, stamp the sentiment from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the top of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2024-2026 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the row of tulips from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink along the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Petunia Pop card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the single tulip image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on the envelope front. Draw the stem with a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker and stamp the leaf image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in granny apple Green Ink. Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the envelope flap.

My January – April 2026 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper, Ribbon and Embellishment Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the Two-Tone cardstock share, just the Ribbon share or just the Embellishment share, or you can it all!! For all the information, Click Here.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper Share, Two-Tone Cardstock Share, Ribbon Share & Embellishment Share from the January – April 2026 Mini Catalog, along with the upcoming January 2026 Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 6th 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 January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January – April 2026 Mini Catalog and the upcoming January 2026 Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Catalog and 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 DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $175.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $50.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $22.00 plus $10.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

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 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 – $22.00 plus $10.00 for Priority Mail shipping

As a gift from me for ordering a Double Share of Designer Series Paper, I will include an Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. This gift is only for ordering a Double DSP Share.

Two-Tone Cardstock Share

Have you been wanting to try the Two-Tone Cardstock but didn’t want to buy a whole pack? You can add a share of the 4 different Two-Tone Cardstock packs for an additional $6 or purchase them separately for $6 + $10 Priority Shipping

If you’d like double shares of the designer paper or cardstock, 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.

Stampin’ Up! Creative Haven Panels

Posted on by
2

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends, welcome to the middle of the week. Another month flying by us, halfway through the week and more than halfway through the month. What’s really scaring me is that next week is Thanksgiving already.

Today’s a card I challenged myself. I wasn’t sure how to use the die cut pieces from the pack of DSP or this panel of paper. 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! Creative Haven Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Creative Haven Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Hobby Haven Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design for today’s card is from Inspire. Create Challenge #205

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Panels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut the panel of Hobby Haven into panels with the Paper Trimmer. You can use all the same design or flip come of the panels to show the backside of it. Adhere the panels of Hobby Haven DSP to a Pecan Pie mat. Adhere the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Panels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere die cut pieces from the Hobby Haven DSP to the right side of the card front. Tie a small bow using the Garden Green & White 1/8″ Chevron Ribbon and adhere it to one of the bottles of the die cuts.

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Panels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Creative Haven stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Cut the ends into a banner using scissors. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Earthy Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Panels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Creative Haven stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Hobby Haven DSP to the side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.
