Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends and Happy Mother’s Day!!! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend and have some plans for today. My plan is to spend some time in my craft studio doing with I love to do. Usually on Mother’s Day I’m outside planting flowers of plants, but it’s going to be a very rainy day and crafting seemed like a better idea.

I have a quick card for you today playing with a new bundle and a new In-Color. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs Bundle along with the 2024-2026 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to a Summer Splash card base using Liquid Glue. Using the Hearts & Hugs Dies, I cut the hearts from a panel of Petal Pink. I adhered the Petal Pink panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the hamster image from the Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image using Crumb Cake and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Hearts & Hugs Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the image out using the Hearts & Hugs Dies. I adhered the hamster image to the Petal Pink panel below the die cut hearts, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment banner across the hamster using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends and a Glue Dot in the center. I added some of the die cut hearts to the banner using Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered some of the die cut hearts on either side of the sentiment using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Summer Splash card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the heart image from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set in Calyp0so Coral Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color 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! Citrus Blooms for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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 Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Cling Stamp Set along with the Stylish Shapes Dies and Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Mediterranean Blooms DSP to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the single orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a panel of Garden Green using the largest banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the banner in half using Paper Snips. On the top of the banner, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the 2 banner pieces to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimemsionals. I added a few Opal Rounds Assortment.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower images from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the images using Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Mediterranean Blooms DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Mediterranean Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond Friendship & 2 New Kits Released

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all doing well today. Don’t forget today is the last day to earn Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards on order of $50 or more.

I played with products from the new Annual Catalog again today. When I saw this suite, I just couldn’t resist getting it. Stampin’ Up! has come out with so many DSP’s now that do all the work for you, and that’s what I did with today’s card. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! charming Duck Pond Friend 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Lily Pond Lane 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Spotlight On Nature Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! charming Duck Pond Friend 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 strips of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the top and bottom of a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! charming Duck Pond Friend 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to a Pretty in Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! charming Duck Pond Friend 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added an Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! charming Duck Pond Friend 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the cat tail plant image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Inks. I stamped the outlined frog image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid frog image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I colored the frog’s belly and lily pad using Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! charming Duck Pond Friend 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cat tail plant from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Inks on the envelope front. I stamped the outline frog image in Pretty Peacock Ink and the solid frog image in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the envelope flap.

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! Filled With Fun Hello

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be at work again all day today. I finally have tomorrow off, so I’m hoping to play catch up.

Today’s card features an Online Exclusive set along with a new set from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. 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! Filled With Fun Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Filled with Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the new Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a pane of Azure Afternoon to the card front using Liquid Glue. I then adhered a panel of Balmy Blue to the card front using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flower image from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Azure Afternoon above the flower image. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Balmy Bue, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to an Azure Afternoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Azure Afternoon 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (retiring April 30th), around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I embossed the envelope flap using the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Easel Card

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.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin’ Up! Pastel Trucking Along

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. AND we’re more than halfway through the month, another month flying by.

Today I played with a lot of different products, some Online Exclusive, Some retiring and some new. 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! Trucking Along Pastel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the retiring Lighter Than Air 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, the Stylish Shapes Dies and the new So Swirly Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from Global Design Projects Color Challenge #441.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the So Swirly EF. I adhered a panel of Lighter Than Air DSP to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline truck image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the solid truck image over the outline image in Fresh Freesia Ink. I stamped the outline flower image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink. I colored the wheels on the truck using Basic Black, Fresh Freesia and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the leaves on the flowers using Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped the outline cloud image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Trucking Along stamp set in Balmy blue Ink. I cut the ends into a banner using Paper Snips. I tied a double bow using Balmy Blue Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack. I adhered the bow to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Trucking Along stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outline flower image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid flower image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink over the outline image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the truck image from the Trucking Along stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Lighter Than Air DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. We had such a beautiful warm day here in NJ yesterday and I believe today is supposed to be the same.

Today I played with a set that is carrying over to the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, which I’m so happy about. 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! Everyday Details 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set along with the Scalloped Contours Dies and Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Pretty Petals Challenge #333.

I also played along with CAS on Friday Challenge #281 – Spring

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the vase image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the Scalloped Contours Dies.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I colored the image using Bubble Bath, Cherry Cobbler Lost Lagoon and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I trimmed the sentiment using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the top of the vase image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Bubble Bath, Cherry Cobbler and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope I stamped the top of the vase image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Panel Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends, it’s TAX DAY!! Did everyone get their taxes done? Every year I seem to wait until the last minute, we got ours done last week. I just hate getting everything together and adding everything up. How was everyone’s weekend? Yesterday was a beautiful day here in NJ. I was trying to get some cards done and I had crafters block, so I decided to walk away and go outside for a bit. I did some weeding, cutting of the grass and spring cleanup in the yard. It didn’t help my crafters block unfortunately and all it got me was all muddy LOL.

Today I played with a set that is carrying over to the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and some Online Exclusives. 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! Cheerful Daisies Panel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Everyday Details Dies, Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Meandering Meadows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Panel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Meandering Meadow DSP into 1″ strips and adhering it to a Lemon Lolly mat using Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack, around the layered panel and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Panel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Night of Navy using the Painted Texture EF. I adhered the layered panel to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Panel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink. I stamped the solid daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink over the detailed image. I stamped the daisy center in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the stem and leaves from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I cut the image out using the Everyday Details Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Night of Navy Ink over the stem and leaves. I adhered the die cut panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Panel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outline daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink. I stamped the solid daisy image in Lemon Lolly Ink and the daisy center in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the stem and leaves from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to a Night of Navy mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Panel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadows DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards 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.

Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Hello

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works? I’ll be working all day today. It’s starting to get busier at the store with everyone starting to do yard work, so the days go by pretty quickly.

Today I played with lots of new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. 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! Citrus Blooms Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! citrus Blooms Bundle along with the Unbounded Love Dies and Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder for today’s card. All these products will be available starting May 1st to customers. If you are interested in getting your hands on them early, contact me @ creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and we can talk.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by randomly stamping the tiny floral image from the Stampin’ Up! citrus Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Peach Pie Ink on a panel of Peach Pie. I cut a panel of Basic White using the Citrus Blooms Dies then embossing the die cut panel using the Dotted Circles EF. I adhered the die cut embossed panel to the Peach Pie panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Black card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Citrus Blooms Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I adhered a piece of the retiring Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2024-2026 In-Color Shimmer Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tiny floral image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink on the corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Peach Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the envelope flap using the Dotted Circles EF.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and have this bundle or even suite on your shopping list. I can’t wait to get my hand on the coordinating Paper. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Nel’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For The Ladies/Girls”. We can interpret this however we want. 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 Flowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Bundle along with the Country Lace Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set for m y card today. All these products will be available starting May 1.

My design is from Try a Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #644

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Country Lace DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Country Lace DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the teapot image form the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled path Ink. Using a mask I cut from a Post-It note, I covered the teapot and stamped the stool image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I colored the image using Pecan Pie and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. On another piece of Basic Whtie, I stamped the flower image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I colored the image using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the flower image out using the Country Flowers Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Beige mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flowers on top of the teapot using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest circle from the Everyday Details Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Basic Beige Ink over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Country Lace DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Lace DSP 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:   GVPUUBAZ

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, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  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.
