Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend.

I received my Online Exclusive Preorder yesterday and I didn’t know what to play with first. The first thing on my list was the new embossing folder, so I thought I’d start with that. I did pair it up with some DSP that is available now. Here’s my card for today.

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week. Yesterday I finally got my first Newsletter out. I was very excited since it took me a while to get it started. I will be sending out the Newsletter once a week with updates. This will only go out to those that subscribed. If you didn’t get my Newsletter yesterday and would like to opt in, please go to my Home Page and click on the subscribe link on the right sidebar.

Today’s card was made since my daughter loves Disney’s Stitch so much and the new movie comes out today. I played with an Online Exclusive Bundles and some of the new Regals DSP. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Posted on by

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are starting to look forward to the weekend. We’re having some nasty thunderstorms here today in NJ and we’re supposed to be getting more tomorrow.

I played with a new bundle today from the Online Exclusives. This bundle screamed my husband’s name. He’s a popcorn and movie lover, so it fits him to a T. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Poppin' By Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Poppin’ By Bundle for my book fold card today.

Stampin' Up! Poppin' By Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Add Liquid Glue to the inside of the Real Red card base between the 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″ score lines to create the book fold card. Randomly stamp the popcorn images from the Stampin’ Up! Poppin’ By Cling Stamp Set in Lemon Lolly Ink on the card front and side panel of Basic White. Stamp the sentiment from the Poppin’ By stamp set in Real Red Ink around the popcorn images. Adhere the Basic White panels to the Basic Black mats with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panels to the Real Red card base with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Poppin' By Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic Black, cut the movie reel pieces, glasses and shoes using the Poppin’ By Dies. Adhere the die cut movie pieces to a panel of Gray Granite. Adhere the layered panel to the side panel of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Poppin' By Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the Lemon Lolly image, draw over the legs/feet with Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. On the Real Red image, draw over the eyes with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. Cut the images out using the Poppin’ By Dies. Fussy cut the Real Red bucket using Paper Snips. Adhere the fussy cut bucket to the Lemon Lolly die cut image using Glue Dots. Adhere the die cut glasses and shoes to the image. From a panel of Basic White, cut the 3 popcorn dies using the Poppin’ By Dies. Adhere the die cut popcorn to the card front with Glue Dots. Adhere the popcorn bucket image to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May 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.

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!

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Thankful Garden Bundle, Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sentimental Framing Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 6th) for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden Drapery Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 2 1/2″ x 4″ panel of Lovely Garden DSP to the top of the Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the 2 3/4″ x 4″ panel of Lovely Garden DSP to the bottom of the Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the image again so that you get the smaller flower from the image which you will be cutting out. Using the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks and the Blending Brushes, use Fresh Freesia Ink with masks #1, #2 & #3 on both flowers. Use Garden Green Ink and the Blending Brushes with masks #4 & #5 for the stem and leaves on the full flower image. Cut the images out using the Thankful Garden Dies.

Here is the template for the drapery so that you could make it

Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden Drapery Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the template above, score and fold the 3″ x 6″ panel of Lovely Garden DSP. Adhere the folded panel to the bottom half of the layered panel using Tear & Tape across the top and Stampin’ Seal on the left side panel. Wrap a piece of White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim around the layered panel, adhering in on the back with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the small flower to the large flower image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the large flower image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden Drapery Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the bottom right of the card front, stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Framing stamp set in garden Green Ink. Adhere the layered card front to the Garden Green card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden Drapery Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Framing stamp set in Garden Green Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the top corners. Adhere a strip of Lovely Garden DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden Drapery Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the flower image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Using the Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes, color the same as for the card front. Adhere a panel of Lovely Garden DSP to the envelope flap.

My 2025 – 2026 Annual Catalog and May Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Two-Tone Cardstock Share along with the upcoming May Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 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 May 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May 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 $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $65.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 plus $9.00 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 – $51.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

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 + $9 Priority Shipping

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

  • Celebrate Together (6)
  • Memories in Bloom (6)
  • Turtle-y Cute (6)

In all, you’ll receive 24 – 6” x 6” sheets of cardstock!

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.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us!

Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Thursday morning 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. 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 theme.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 1 cretivestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Mixed Florals Bundle along with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and New Stampin’ Up! The Right Word Cling Stamp Set (available May 6th), for my fun fold card today.

We have a Fun Fold Theme this week.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 2 cretivestampingdesigns.com

Score and fold the 3 Pretty Peacock card bases as listed in the measurements below. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the tulip image from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Mixed Florals Dies.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 3 cretivestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to the Pretty Peacock card bases. I listed below which piece goes on which part of the card bases. On the front of the center card base panel (4 1/4″ side), stamp the leaf image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Versamark Ink 3 times. Sprinkle the image with White Embossing Powder, set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the center card base to the large card base with the 4 1/4″ side in the front, about 1/4″ up from the bottom. Adhere the bottom card base with the 5 1/2″ side in the front, to the large card base on top of the center, lining up the bottom edge

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 4 cretivestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the die cut flowers to the front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, keeping top flowers below the top of the card base. Trim off the bottom of the flower stems/leaves using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 5 cretivestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from The Right Word stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the top back panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 6 cretivestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White panel stamp the sentiment from The Right Word stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink multiple times on the side of the panel. Adhere a strip of Perennial Lavender DSP to the side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the back of the Pretty Peacock card base.

My 2025 – 2026 Annual Catalog and May Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Two-Tone Cardstock Share along with the upcoming May Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 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 May 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May 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 $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $65.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 plus $9.00 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 – $51.00 plus $9.00 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):

Two-Tone Cardstock Share – $6 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

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 + $9 Priority Shipping

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

  • Celebrate Together (6)
  • Memories in Bloom (6)
  • Turtle-y Cute (6)
  • Weekend Adventures (6)

In all, you’ll receive 24 – 6” x 6” sheets of cardstock!

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.

New Ribbon Share – $20.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

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

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

Anyone is welcome to join in my shares (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  To make ordering the shares a little easier, I have created a form for you to submit, that way you can order any combination of shares you want. Click Here for the form.
