Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope everyone had a wonderful week. Is anyone making plans for the weekend yet?

I played with the new Online Exclusive products for today’s card and made a fun fold with it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing fun fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing Bundle along with the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Emboss a panel of Otterly Adorable DSP using the So Swirly EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the Lost Lagoon card base using Liquid Glue. Carefully score the DSP, lining up the score line from the card base in the Paper Trimmer and gently folding the layered panel into a valley fold. Adhere the smaller panel of Otterly Adorable DSP to the pop-up panel of Lost Lagoon using Liquid Glue. Carefully score the DSP by lining up the scored cardstock score line in the Paper Trimmer and gently folding the layered panel into a mountain fold. Adhere the bridge panel of Otterly Adorable DSP to the scored Lost Lagoon bridge, using Liquid Glue. Using a Bone Folder, gently curve the bridge from the back of the panel.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the otter image from the Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the sentiment from the Otterly Amazing stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the Basic White panel. Cut the otter image out using the Otterly Amazing Dies and the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Adhere the Layered pop-up panel to the card front using Tear & Tape on the folded ends. Line the score lines up and adhere the panel. Adhere the 2 – 1″ X 1″ panels that are scored @ 1/2″, to the pop-up panel. Adhere these by lining up the folded edges of the squares with the center score line. Adhere the otter image to the other edges of the squares. This will make them pop up. Adhere the bridge to the bottom front of the card base by using Tear & Tape on the folded edges of the bridge, lay both the card base and bridge flat to line them up. Add a few Riverside Irregular Pearls to the card front.

Stamp the greenery image from the Otterly Amazing stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the other panel and color the image using Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the bubble image from the Otterly Amazing stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink above the greenery. Adhere 2 strips of Otterly Adorable DSP to the bottom of the panels. Adhere the Basic White panels to Pool Party mats then to the back of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful week. We stayed until Magic Kingdom closed on Wednesday and had such a great time going on rides, walking around, eating some great food and of course seeing the fabulous firework show. Yesterday we spent the whole day at Epcot. The wine and food festival is going on, so we tried some great food. I was able to get my caramel apple from Germany that’s made with Werther’s Caramels. I’ve waited 4 1/2 years to get another one of these apples. After having one here, I don’t want any others. One of my husband’s co-workers happen to be here in Disney and we met up with him and his wife for a delicious dinner in Canada, at Le Cellier Steakhouse. Today we’re off to Universal Studios. This will be the 1st time we’ve ever gone there, so I can’t wait to see what’s there.

Today’s card is one that we made at our monthly stamping studio last Tuesday for our mystery stamping portion of the meeting. Jaimie sent us all the measurements and talked us through the process of putting the card together. I decided I wanted to use some of the new Online Exclusive products that will be available starting November 5th. If you are interested in getting these products early, let me know, I’d be happy to talk to you about signing up to be a demonstrator and you can add them to your starter kit. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Otterly Adorable Suite Collection for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start with 2 panels of Pretty Peacock card stock cut at 4 1/4″ X 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″. Cut 1 of the panels from the bottom right to the left side of the score line cutting on a diagonal. Cut the other panel from the bottom left to the right side of the score line cutting on a diagonal. Adhere the 2 panels together by adhering the solid card backs together using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere 1 of the triangle panels of Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper to a Basic White triangle mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to the right card front using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. From panels of Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock, cut 3 each of the greenery die from the Otterly Amazing Dies. Punch 2 circles using the 2″ Circle Punch from a panel of Pretty Peacock. Adhere the circle sentiment to the Pretty Peacock circle mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the greenery to the back of the Pretty Peacock circle using Glue Dots. Adhere the 2nd circle to the back of the layered sentiment using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered circle to the right card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a small bow using the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording and adhere it next to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. Add a few Riverside Irregular Pearls to the sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Joy Fold

Posted on by
7

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous one here in NJ. We had our quarterly team meeting yesterday and as I was driving up to Amy’s house, I noticed some of the trees here are starting to turn. They are still mostly green with just a touch of yellow, orange and red. Fall will be here before we know it.

Today’s card is one that we made at our meeting yesterday. This card was designed and presented by one of my team members Akiko Sudano. It’s such a pretty card and one that can be duplicated easily. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Wishes Joy Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Bundle along with the Spotlight on Nature Dies, Something Fancy dies and Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stamp the holly and candle images from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Color the images using Lemon Lolly, Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. Brush the candles with Clear wink of Stella. Cut the images out using the Sentimental Wishes Dies. Adhere the candles to the Basic Beige circle using Glue Dots. Adhere the holly over the candles using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the center of the sentiment from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set by covering the top and bottom with tape. Ink up the center with Versamark, remove the tape and stamp on a panel of Poppy Parade. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies. Adhere the sentiment over the holly using a Glue dot and Stampin’ Dimensional on the end. Add a few White Pearls from the Cherry Cobbler and Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries.

Stampin’ Up! Naughty & Nice for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday the 13th morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I’ve got a busy one coming up. I hope you are starting to make plans for the weekend.

Today’s card is one that we made on Tuesday night at our Stamping Studio during mystery stamping. All of our cards were similar, but also different. Jaimie gave us cardstock and DSP measurements and talked us through assembling the cards. I turned my card because I like the recipient to be able to stand the card up. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Naughty & Nice Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Take A Bow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Labeled with Love Dies and Stampin’ Up! Christmas Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by scoring the Granny Apple Green card base at 2 1/8″ on either side. Cut 1 of the 4″ X 4″ panels of Basic White in half at 2″.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 4 panels of Take A Bow DSP to the 2 Basic White mats. Adhere the 2 layered panels to the Granny Apple Green card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the outlined frame image from the Naughty & Nice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the sentiment from the Naughty & Nice stamp set inside the frame in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the hat & elf feet images from the Naughty & Nice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above and below the sentiment. Color the images using Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Labeled with Love Dies. Adhere the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the image. Add an Iridescent Faceted Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Christmas Labels stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the bow image from the Naughty & Nice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. Color the bow using Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere 2 strips of the Take a Bow DSP to either side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the bow image from the Naughty & Nice stamp set on the top of the envelope front in tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using real red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a strip of Take A Bow DSP to the bottom of the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. I’ll be working tomorrow, but I do have off on Sunday.

I’m a little late today with posting, it’s been a crazy week for me, and I didn’t get my card finished until a little while ago. This is one of those cards that I kept making mistakes and I was determined to finish the card properly. After I was all finished and loving how my card turned out, I realized the stamp set I used is no longer available in the Online Exclusive store in English. You can still purchase it in French if you just want to use the images. but you are able to make the truck part of the design using the Truck Builder Punch which is still available. I don’t usually post cards if items are not available, but with a little tweaking you can use this design for anything.  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! Trucking Along Joy Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Scenic Pumpkin Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set, Trucking Along Builder Punch, Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper which are all Online Exclusive products. I also used the Spotlight On Nature Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Punch the truck out using the Trucking Along Builder Punch. On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the road image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink.

September-December 2024 Mini Catalog Paper and Ribbon Shares Open for Ordering

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on September 4th 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 September 9. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2024 Mini Catalog?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. 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, it would cost you over $135.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $60.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 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 – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6X6 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):

  • Nests of Winter (6)
  • Regal Winter (6)
  • Regal Distressed Patterns (3)
  • Reindeer Days (6)
  • Season of Elegance (6)
  • Sentimental Christmas (6)
  • Snowy Scenes (6)
  • A Little Bit Festive (3)
  • Festive Glimmer (3)
  • Splendid Autumn 6X6 (12)
  • Take A Bow 6X6 (4)

In all, you’ll receive 61 – 6” X 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $9.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ X 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ X 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 – $17.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Blackberry Bliss & Gold Textured Ribbon
  • Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon
  • Natural Tones Linen Thread
  • Pool Party Pompom Ribbon
  • Real Red & White Baker’s Twine
  • Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon
  • Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon

Double Ribbon Share – $34.00 + $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon.

If you would like the Designer Series Paper Share & the Ribbon Share the cost will be:

$38.00 for a single share + $9.00 shipping

$76.00 for a double share + $9.00 shipping.
