Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Can you believe it’s the last day of May already? Are you ready for the weekend? Is anyone starting to make plans yet?

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

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for today’s card.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered one of the 1″ X 5 1/4″ panels, one of the 3 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panels and the 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panel of To Market DSP to coordinating Blackberry Bliss mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I trimmed the banner to the size I wanted using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped the belly band around the card base and adhered it together using Tear & Tape. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flowers, bottle and cake images from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Attentions Shoppers Dies. I colored the images using Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Attentions Shoppers Dies, I cut the shopping card out from a panel of Silver Foil. I adhered the images to the back of the shopping card using Liquid Glue. I adhered the shopping cart to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I adhered the last 2 panels of To Market DSP to Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the Petal Pink card base using Liquid Gue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiments from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the gift bag image from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the gift bag image from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of To Market DSP to the envelope flap.

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 2024-2025Annual 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.

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is anyone starting to make plans for the weekend? I’ll be doing a vendor event tomorrow at a local high school. I’ve never done one before, so this is all new to me.

Today I played with all retiring products. This was one of those suites that I wasn’t gong to get and once I did get it, it turned out to be one of my favorites. 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! Earthen Textures Book Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the retiring Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #632.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the center of the Basic Beige card base together between the 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″ score lines using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 3 3/4″ X 4 1/4″ panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 2 little slits on the binder part of the card base using Paper Snips. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the end 2 times and tied a small bow. On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the vase image from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the panel. I cut the images out using Earthen Textures Dies. Using the Earthen Textures Dies, I cut a panel of Distressed Gold paper and Pretty Peacock with 2 of the dies.

On another panel of Earthen Elegance DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set i Pretty Peacock Ink. I arranged the die cut pieces the way I wanted and adhered them using Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I adhered the vase using Stampin’ Dimensionals over the stems. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance 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! Unbounded Love for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? Are you getting ready for the weekend? I know I am. it’s been a busy week for me, a lot of running around, working and getting catalogs packed up and shipped out to all my customers. If you are a customer of mine, you should be receiving yours shortly, unless you already did.

Today’s card we made at our Stamping Studio on Tuesday night for our Mystery Stamping. I had to leave the meeting early for an appointment, so I never heard the final card instructions, so I did what I thought was correct. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 1st) along with the Online Exclusive Designer Tags Dies, the retiring Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set, the retiring Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the retiring Tailor Made Tags for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Liquid Glue. (this is actually the card base).

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut sprigs from panels of Crushed Curry and Lost Lagoon using the Designer Tags Dies. I cut a butterfly from a panel of Petal Pink using the Designer Tags Dies. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I cut the tag out using the retiring Tailor-Made Tags. I threaded a piece of the White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack through the top of the tag.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Jaimie talked us through making the origami envelope for the front of the card using a 6 X 6 panel of DSP. I used a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP for mine. I wrapped a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon around the envelope, adhering it on the back with Glue Dots. I adhered the envelope to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs behind the envelope using Glue Dots and Butterfly to the card front using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the sides of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crushed Curry mat using Stampin’ Seal. This little card gets tucked inside the envelope. I tied the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon around the envelope and tied a bow. I attached the sentiment tag to the Lost Lagoon Ribbon. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the envelope front multiple times without reinking the stamp. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Quick Fun Fold

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Last I heard it’s supposed to be a nice one here in NJ. I can’t believe we’re at the end of March, which means the days should be getting warmer. Trees have already started to bloom, my crocus and daffodils have been blooming, my tulips are coming up. Before you know it, I’ll be planting my tomatoes and summer flowers.

I have a super quick fun fold for you today using all Online Exclusive products. This is one of the cards I designed for the vendor event I’m doing next month. 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.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive A Little Latte Suite for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love CAS Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of A Little Latte Designer Series Paper to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love CAS Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the cup image from the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink 2 times. I stamped the coffee image from Latte Love stamp set inside the cup in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the images out using the Latte Love Dies. I colored the images using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

On a panel of Pecan Pie, I stamped the sentiment from Latte Love stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.

I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the cups to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots to the card front.

I stamped the cup image from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of A Little Latte DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered a panel of A Little Latte DSP to the right side of a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? Does anyone have plans for Easter Sunday yet?

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Bundle and Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both items will be available starting May 1st. If you’d like to get this beautiful DSP and awesome bundle early, you can add it to a starter kit starting on April 2nd. Contact me and I’ll tell you how.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the 4 smaller panels of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the 4 Petunia Pop mats (available May 1st) using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4 layered panels to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the longer panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the longer Petunia Pop mat then to a panel of Pool Party using Liquid Glue and set it aside. 

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink along the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the leaf image. On a small panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the Basic White panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the center of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Journey stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I colored the image using the Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut the image out using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. From panels of Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop, I cut the stand along flower die from the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. I snipped the flowers off the Petunia Pop die using Paper Snips and adhered them to the Lost Lagoon die using Liquid Glue. Using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies, I cut the branch die from a panel of Wild Wheat. I adhered the 3 die cut pieces to the right side of the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered bridge panel to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue only on the ends.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set by added ink to the stamp using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Write Markers. I huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamped it on the side of the Basic White panel. I colored the leaves in using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the thistle image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the back of the Pool Party card base. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes in Pool Party Ink on the back panels of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope front in Pebbled Path Ink. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope flap, inking the stamp the same as I did for the card back. I stamped the splotch image around the flowers and leaves in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper.

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am. It has taken me all week to get back to my ‘normal’ routine. I think the plane flight last week really threw me off. I have been suffering with migraines all week.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the brand new Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Country Wood Designer Series Paper and Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. These products will be available to purchase starting on May 1st. If you’d like to get your hands on them early, you can join as a demonstrator and put them in your starter kit starting on April 2nd. I also used the Designer Tags Dies, Deckled Circles Dies and Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting all the parts out for the birdhouse using the Country Birdhouse Dies and Country Wood DSP, Basic Beigh, Misty Moonlight and Poo Party cardstock.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed 2 Misty Moonlight card front panels using the new Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panels to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I put the pieces of the birdhouse together using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Country Wood DSP to a Basic Beige mat that I cut using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the birdhouse to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front panel to the left side of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink 5 times. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Designer Tags Dies. I tied a bow using Linen Thread to the tag. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin Dimensionals. I added a Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearl (available May 1) to the sentiment flower center.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the bird and flower images from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whit panel to a Basic Beige mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Diamond Front Fun Fold

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning stamping friends Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t have an ounce of Irish in me, but my mom would make corned beef and cabbage every year and serve it with Italian bread on St. Patrick’s Day. We’re Italian so we had Italian bread with everything. How is your weekend going? Our Stampin’ Up! OnStage convention is done and I’ll be heading back to NJ today. I’ve had so much fun with all my team members and I’m already looking forward to next years.

Today’s card is the last one that we made last Sunday at our team meeting. This beautiful card was designed by one of my team members and friend Terry Lynn Bright. Here’s my card for today.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

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

I started by cutting the Melon Mambo card base. I marked the right front edge of the card base at 2 1/8″ with a small pencil mark. I cut from the pencil mark to the first score line both bottom and top to make the diamond. The card base is folded in half at the 5 1/2″ score line and folded back at the 2 1/8″ score line so the diamond is on the front of the card.

I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the front of the card base. I adhered the square panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the diamond front using Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Melon Mambo Ink on the strip of Basic White. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips.

Using the Simply Zinnia Dies, I cut the Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo and Petal Pink flower pieces. I adhered them together using Glue Dots. I cut 2 stems from Lemon Lime Twist and Mossy Meadow using the Simply Zinnia Dies and the leaves from Lemon Lime Twist. I adhered the stems together using Liquid Glue and the leaves using a Glue Dot. I adhered the stem and flower to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment across the stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the left side using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered another panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the inside of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias 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! Simply Zinnia for my Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are all starting to make plans for the weekend. I’m here in Houston TX for our Stampin’ Up! OnStage Event. Last night was so much fun stamping with friends and getting our 1st new bundle from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I’m so excited to see what they have for us today. Our days here are starting early and ending late, but well worth it.

Today’s card is one that we made at our team meeting on Sunday. This card was designed by Carol Buckelew using Online Exclusive products. Here’s my card for today.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper along with the Perennial Postage Dies for my card today.

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

I started by adhering panels of Flowering Zinnias DSP to Daffodil Delight mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

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

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the single zinnia from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather and Pumpkin Pie Inks. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Old Olive Ink 3 times. I cut all the images out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored each of the flowers and leaves with the coordinating Stampin’ Blends Markers and the flower centers using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Old Olive Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Perennial Postage Dies. I cut a panel of Berry Burst using the next largest Perennial Postage Die. I adhered the sentiment to the Berry Burst mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the flowers and leaves around the sentiment using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

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

I adhered the other 2 panels of Flowering Zinnias DSP to Daffodil Delight mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the back panels of the card base using Liquid Glue. I kept the back inner panel very simple by just stamping the single zinnia image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Old Olive Ink by the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Daffodil Delight mat then to the back of the Mossy Meadow card base.

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

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single zinnia from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Old Olive Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold

Posted on by

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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