Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips with Painted Stripes & Last Day To Register for Online Zoom Class

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!!! It’s Flag Day in the US. Did you know that this day commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first national flag? Be sure to be flying those flags high today. Whatever your plans for today or the weekend are, I hope you all have fun.

Today’s card is another one that we made at our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. We are all having so much fun creating with this Online Exclusive Suite. If you’re liking what you have seen lately, you might want to register for our Online Class at the end of this month, but today’s the last day to do that. Today’s card was designed by one of my amazing team members, Nicole Bloxom. Nicole will actually be joining Tara and me for our August Class as a presenter, which I’m really looking forward to. Here’s my card for today designed by Nicole.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Cheers & Sips Bundle along with the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Painted Stripes Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies Photopolymer Stamp Set and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #218 is Summer Days. 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.

Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing Congratulations 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sunrise Sailing Bundle along with the Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. I was inspired by the theme ‘Summer Days’ along with the colors for my Clean & Layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 218.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing Congratulations 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut the panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP into 1 1/4″ & 2 1/2″ panels with your Paper Trimmer. Adhere the 2 panels to a Secret Sea mat with Stampin’ Seal, leaving a little space in between the panels. Adhere the layered panel to a Cloud Cover card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Sunrise Sailing Photopolymer Stamp Set in Secret Sea Ink on the card front panel a few times.

Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing Congratulations 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From scraps of Beautiful Gallery DSP, cut the medium and small sailboats using the Sunrise Sailing Dies. Cut each of them 2 times and using Paper Snips, trim the sails off one and adhere them to the other sailboats. Adhere the sailboats to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing Congratulations 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Cut the small cloud using the Sunrise Sailing Dies from a panel of Basic White. Adhere the cloud to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Color a piece of White Baker’s Twine with the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Blends Marker. Tie a bow with the twine and adhere it next to the cloud with a Glue Dot. Adhere the sentiment over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a 2025 – 2027 In-Color Flat Pearl to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing Congratulations 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment and bird image from Sunrise Sailing stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere 2 strips of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the sides of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Cloud Cover card base.

Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips Orange

Posted on by

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was your weekend? Yesterday was our quarterly team meeting where we did some stamping together. The presenters did an amazing job making the cards and demoing how to make them.

My card for today is one that Judi Hartbarger designed and demonstrated for us. Judi is from Tennessee and has become a good friend of mine. After she was done creating this beautiful card with us, she showed us another one she made with different DSP. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheers & Sips Orange 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Cheers & Sips Bundle along with the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper and Textured Notes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cheers & Sips Orange 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Celebratory Sips DSP to a Peach Pie card base with Stampin’ Seal. On the other panel of Celebratory Sips DSP adhere the panel of Basic White to the back for support. Using the 2nd smallest Textured Notes Die, cut the center out of the DSP.

Stampin' Up! Cheers & Sips Orange 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Set the die cut panel over the card front panel and stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. Adhere the die cut panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cheers & Sips Orange 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From the panel of Celebratory Sips DSP that has the glasses, cut one of the orange drink glasses using the Cheers & Sips Dies. On the Watercolor block panel of Celebratory Sips DSP, stamp the citrus image from the Cheers & Sips stamp set in Timid Tiger 2 times. Cut the citrus image out using the Cheers & Sips Dies. Snip one of the orange slices with Paper Snips and adhere it to the top of the drink glass with a Glue Dot. Adhere the glass to the card front with Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the other orange slice by the sentiment. Tie a small bow with the Gold Striped 3/8″ Mesh Ribbon and adhere it to the drink glass with a Glue Dot. Add a couple Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cheers & Sips Orange 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiments from the Cheers & Sips stamp set on a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. Towards the bottom of the panel, stamp the citrus slice image from the Cheers & Sips stamp set in Timid Tiger Ink. Adhere the panels of Celebratory Sips DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Timid Tiger mat then to the inside of the Peach Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Cheers & Sips Orange 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the citrus slice image from the Cheers & Sips stamp set in Timid Tiger Ink across the bottom front of the envelope. Adhere a panel of Celebratory Sips DSP to the envelope flap.

Designer Series Paper Online Zoom Class

Tara Carpenter and I are super excited about offering you this Free Online Zoom Class

Do you struggle with different ways to use all your Designer Series Paper? Tara and I are teaming up for a Zoom class to show you 6 different cards using just Designer Series Paper and a Sentiment. Of course, we’ll add embellishments and maybe ribbon or twine, but this class will primarily be using DSP. We have picked a pack of DSP with all the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and that’s what we will be focusing on. You can see the DSP starting on page 40 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. The class will be held on Sunday May 18th from 1pm-5pm ET. The best part is you can earn this class absolutely FREE. You will cut all the cardstock and DSP of your choice prior to the class so you are ready to go. We will NOT be cutting up cardstock or DSP the day of the event. You will choose the color cardstock and your favorite DSP to use from what you purchase. Please remember to order early so that you receive it on time to prep for the class.

The class requirements:

  • Visit my Online Store on or after May 6th and purchase 1 pack of Florals in Bloom 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (165175), 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Cardstock Assortment Pack (165623) and 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls (165192)

Once you sign up you will receive:

  • Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
  • PDF with detailed directions and photos
  • A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

When you Sign Up for the class, I will send you the complete PDF the week before the class so that you can cut up the color cardstock of your choice and the Designer Series Paper of your choice. Everyone’s card will be unique since you will pick your favorite designs of DSP and color cardstock.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: This class is FREE to customers who make the purchase through my Online Store.

If you are a Demonstrator and would like to attend the class and get the PDF, there will be a $20 charge that will be billed through PayPal. I know you would like to purchase the products yourself getting your discount but still would like to attend.

Class Sign up Deadline: Sunday May 11th at 5pm ET

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

Posted on by
8

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,

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

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! Hooray for Honeycomb

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re already halfway through the week. It’s been a rainy one here in NJ so far. I know April showers bring May flowers, but with all the rain we had in March my flowers are drowning.

Stampin’ Up! has a couple new kits. When we were at OnStage last month, one of our prizes was one of the new kits. I’m not a kit person, but I put this one together (giving it a couple of my own touches) and it was a lot of fun. Here’s my cards for today.

This is everything that comes in the kit. It’s an all-inclusive kit. There are 3 of each design card in the kit.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

The sentiment was pre-stamped on the balloon. I adhered the balloon to the card front in the center of the other balloons using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a White Baker’s Twine bow and an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the balloon

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the balloon honeycomb to the center of the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

The kit comes with coordinating envelopes.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

The sentiment was pre-stamped on the banner, I just added the Granny Apple Green banner under the Basic White banner using Glue Dots then added the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

This card said to put the strawberry honeycomb on the front of the card. If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to mail it, so I put it on the inside. for the leafy part of the strawberry, I scored them in half so they would fold easily with the card. I stamped the sentiment from So Sincere stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the inside.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Another pretty coordinating envelope that came with the kit

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 8 creativestampingdesigns.com

The sentiments came pre-stamped on the clouds. I adhered the sunrays to the card front first using Glue Dots then added the clouds in front of the rays using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the larger cloud.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 9 creativestampingdesigns.com

I added the sun honeycomb to the center of the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment on the inside in Blueberry Bushel Ink.

One more beautiful coordinating envelope that came with the kit.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and might be thinking about getting this kit. These cards are great for the end of the school year, if you have someone graduating or you just want to give that little card of encouragement. I had these 3 cards together in about 15 minutes even with adding my little extras. Happy Stamping!!

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $63.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share and Ribbon share from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 1st.

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!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends 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 which worked out perfectly for me since I needed a graduation card. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is out theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 panels of Bright & Beautiful DSP to 2 Berry Burst mats. On 2 other panels of Berry Burst I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the sentiments with White Embossing Powder and set them using my Heat Tool. I stamped the streamer image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the longer sentiment panel.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 DSP layered panels and the rectangle sentiment panel to a Lemon Lolly mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the square sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to a Lemon Lime Twist card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Beautiful Balloons Dies, I cut the streamer from a panel of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. I adhered the streamer to the square sentiment as a tassel for a cap. I adhered an Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewel to the tassel. I tied a small bow using the 1/8″ Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and adhered it to the card front. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trios to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on a panel of Basic White. I used the Beautiful Balloons Dies to cut out the stars and confetti along each side of the sentiment. I stamped the streamer image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Lemon Lime Twist card base.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the streamer image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I adhered a panel of the Bright & Beautiful 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:    BR9XGSTC

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 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog!  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.

Stampin’ Up! Cute Fruit Graduation for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  How was everyone’s week?  I’m heading into work again.  I don’t usually work on Friday’s, but one of my full time cashiers hurt her back and they needed someone to cover.  We’re upon the weekend already, does anyone have plans?  I’m working tomorrow, Saturday, but I have Sunday off, YAY!!  We had a great day at the Zoo yesterday.  It was cloudy part of the day, so that seemed to keep it a little cooler walking around.  Unfortunately, not all the exhibits were open due to Covid, but we still had a great time.

For today’s card I have a gate card for you with a little extra.  My son’s girlfriend asked me to make here a graduation card for her cousin and the theme is pineapples.  I thought that was cute and I knew just the set to get it from. Here’s my card for today.

I joined in with Inspire. Create Challenge #073.  They have a Theme Challenge.

My colors were inspired by Sunday Stamps Challenge #235.  Here are their colors.

I started by scoring and folding a Granny Apple Green card base at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″.

I adhered 2 panels of Playing With Patterns Designer Series Paper to 2 Pacific Point mats using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the 2 matted panels to the 2 Granny Apple Green gate fronts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the pineapple image from the Stampin’ Up! Cute Fruit Photopolymer Stamp Set, the bottom of Daffodil Delight and the tops in Granny Apple Green.  I fussy cut the pineapples out using my Paper Snips.  On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the tops of the pineapple from the Cute Fruit stamp set in Granny Apple Green.  I adhered the Whisper White strip to a Pacific Point mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted panel to the left card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just on the left side of the strip.  I adhered the 2 pineapples to the strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On another strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pacific Point mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted panel to the right card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, only on the right side of the strip.  I added a few Magenta Madness 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World Cling Stamp Set in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the pineapple image from the Cute Fruit stamp set on the bottom of the panel, the bottom portion in Daffodil Delight and the top in Granny Apple Green.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pacific Point mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the pineapple image from the Cute Fruit stamp set on the envelope front, the bottom in Daffodil Delight and the top in Granny Apple Green.  I adhered a panel of Playing With Patterns DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Hip Hip Hooray

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends.  How has everyone’s weekend started off?  Does anyone have plans for Father’s Day tomorrow?  My daughter and I are making my husband a big brunch. My niece, her husband and boys are coming over to join us.  We started doing this a couple years ago and he loves it.

If any of you saw my post on Thursday for our blog hop, you saw that I had an oops.  I used the wrong color.  I had made another card to use, but I was told it was ok the colors were close enough.  Here’s the other card I made using the right colors.  My older little nephew graduated from his elementary school and moved to the intermediate school, so I wanted to make him a card too.  He’s 9, so it’s a little harder since he’s too old for cutesy things, but not old enough for grown up things yet.

I played along with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #276.  Here is their theme.

I started by cutting a panel of Just Jade and Pretty Peacock cardstock using the Best Plaid Builder Dies.  I adhered the Pretty Peacock panel first onto a Pear Pizzazz card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the Just Jade cut panel on top of the Pretty Peacock panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade 1/4″ Ribbon around the panel tied a knot and adhered the card front to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock using the 2nd largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  I stamped the 2 sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink  on the cut panel.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  When you cut the cardstock using the Best Plaid Builder Dies you are left with a lot of squares.  I decorated the inside of the card using these squares adhering them down with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I adhered a strip of the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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