Merry Christmas & Sharing Some Beautiful Christmas Cards Received

Posted on by

Merry Christmas my stamping friends. I hope you all have a wonderful day with friends and family. I thought I’d share a few of the beautiful Christmas cards I’ve received over the past couple weeks from customers and team members.

It’s Coraline’s first Christmas. We got a smaller tree than normal, and we couldn’t put any ornaments low since she was relocating them. We also couldn’t put our train under the tree in fear that she’d relocate that too. She has a bit of an obsession with drinking the tree water, yuk. Hopefully next Christmas we can put out all of our normal decorations and she won’t be such a thief. Santa still spoiled her since she’s only a puppy and doesn’t know any better yet. She’s now 7 months old.

This adorable card is from one of my customers Michele. Isn’t that gnome just too cute?

This adorable card is from one of my customers Pam. I just LOVE those penguins.

This pretty card is from one of my customers and Stamp Camp ladies, Arlene. I just Love that candy cane set, I wish it was sticking around.

This beautiful card is from one of my customers and Stamp Camp ladies, Carol. We made a card at Stamp Camp using the outline of the ornaments and she took the inners home and created this.

This beautiful fun fold card is from one of my customers and Stamp Camp ladies, Gloria. I just love the snowflake vellum paper.

This gorgeous card is from my upline Jaimie. I absolutely love the simplicity of it and the vellum panel under the flowers.

This stunning card is from one of my team members Rosie. I just love the gray and white and it’s a fun fold, my favorite.

This beautiful card is from one of my team members Shirley. I love how she cut the top layer of the die from a panel of DSP.

This beauty is from one of my team members Gail. I just love this pack of DSP and was so sorry when it became unavailable.

This sweet card is from one of my team members Christine. I LOVE this image and how she used the snow below her feet and the mailbox.

This pretty card is from one of my team members Tina. Love the mix of DSP’s she used.

This pretty card is from one of my team members Ranese. Love how she stamped the holly to make her own background DSP and those flowers are colored so perfectly.

This beautiful card is from one of my team members Michele. She stamped the sentiment on a window sheet and overlayed it over a piece of DSP.

This sweet card is from one of my team members and friends Susan. This picture doesn’t do it justice at all, the background is embossed with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder and the layers and colors are perfect.

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the wonderful cards I received. One of the best things about being a part of Stampin’ Up! is all the wonderful cards you get from customers, team members and fellow stampers. We don’t hoard the cards, we mail them!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Day with friends and family. Thank you for stopping by.

How 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 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! Designer Series Paper Shares Do Not earn my Creative Stamping Designs Rewards.

FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining my share, you’ll also get a sampler of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Packs!  I’ll send each participant in my share a sampler of papers from the Dainty Flowers, Day At The Farm, Favored Flowers and Dandy Designs Sale-a-bration DSP packs!

Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends, HAPPY DECEMBER!!! 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. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry Bundle for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by randomly stamping the snowflake images from the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink all over the Starry Sky card front. I sprinkled the panel with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the card front to a Starry Sky card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I used one of the snowflake dies that doesn’t completely cut out the image, from the Frosted Flurry Dies and cut above the sentiment. I cut the panel using my Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the snowflake images from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Starry Sky Ink, stamped off once or twice in the corners. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic white Medium Envelope. I stamped the snowflake images from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the envelope front and flap some stamped full strength and some stamped off.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
4

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. Can you believe it’s the last day of November already? I’ve lost the past 2 months, they have been a blur to me.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #185 is Christmas Greetings.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Bundle for my card today. I was inspired by the wreath on the door and the colors for my clean & layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #185.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 4 smaller panels of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to a larger panel making it look like a door. I embossed the panel using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the layered embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the twig wreath image from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the small pine bough image from the Cottage Wreath stamp set all around the wreath in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped multiple pine bough images on the Basic White Panel. Using my Country Wreaths Dies, I cut out the wreath and all the pine bough images. I adhered the pine boughs to the wreath using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Real Red cardstock I cut the bow from the Country Wreaths Dies. I adhered the bow to the wreath using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the wreath and 1 Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot as a doorknob.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the bow image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Real Red Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bow image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Real Red Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree CAS

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone go out shopping on Black Friday or Small Business Saturday? I stayed home Friday and worked Saturday and Sunday. Saturday we were extra busy and the day flew by. Sunday not as much since it wasn’t a very nice day.

I’ve been MIA for a bit and only posting here and there. I’m hoping to be back to my regular schedule and back on track with my blogging. As most of you know I had Covid last month and I’m still suffering a bit from it. Most days when I get home from work I have absolutely no energy to even make dinner. I’m getting a little better and hopefully the worst is past. Now I just have to stay healthy for the rest of the winter. Today’s card is a traditional red and green one that is also pretty quick to make. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set and the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Shaded Spruce using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Real Red Glimmer paper from the Real Red & White 6 X 6 Glimmer Paper pack using the largest tag die from the Designer Tags Dies. I cut the inside of the tag using the rose die from the Designer Tags Dies. I adhered the glimmer tag to a panel of Shimmery White Paper. I cut the bottom of the tag so that only the top section had the spot for ribbon. I threaded a piece of Silver Metallic Edge 3/8″ Cotton Ribbon through the tag and tied a knot. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Shimmery White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut both ends of the strip on an angle using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot. I added a Red Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I made a stencil using the rose die from the Designer Tag Dies from a panel of cardstock. I placed the stencil on the bottom of the panel and used my Blending Brush to add Real Red Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I used the stencil I made from the Designer Tags Dies with my Blending Brush and Real Red Ink to color the rose on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Santa Express Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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

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

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

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

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

Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
6

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends Happy Thanksgiving!!! I hope you are all prepping for a yummy meal today and giving thanks for all that you have no matter how much or little it is. I know I am extremely thankful for my family and all of my stamping and non-stamping friends. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving weather you are hosting or going somewhere. I’ll be home today with my husband and daughter having a small Thanksgiving dinner and just enjoying the day.

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry Cling Stamp Set along with the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Storybook Gnome DSP to a Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of Storybook Gnome DSP to 2 strips of White Glimmer Paper from the Red & White 6 X 6 Glimmer Paper using Tear & Tape. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Pacific Point Ink. I embossed the sentiment using the Wintry 3d Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pacific Point mat.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Stars to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Pacific Point Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the snowflake images from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Pacific Point Ink around the sentiment, some stamped off once and some twice. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside of the Pacific Point card base.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the snowflake images from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Pacific Point Ink on the envelope front. Some stamped off once and some twice. I adhered a panel of Storybook Gnomes DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! All Bundled Up

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I was busy, busy, busy at both jobs. I find when I work a full day and it’s busy lately, I have no energy at night to do anything. I’m really hoping this tiredness passes soon. The holiday’s are approaching soon and I need to have energy to get things done.

Today’s card is one that we made at our meeting last week. After we’re done with the business part of the meeting, we do a little mystery stamping. I showed everyone how to make a super simple fun fold card for the holidays (or whatever they choose to make). Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! All Bundled Up Cling Stamp Set along with the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper for my fun fold card today.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the 1 1/4″ binder side of the card front together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the panels of Storybook Gnomes DSP to Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Crumb Cake Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack, around the binder edge of the card front twice and tied a bow. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the moose image from the All Bundled Up stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Night of Navy and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the moose using my Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the moose image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a thin strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the All Bundled Up stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few silver Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from All Bundled Up stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the bunny and bird images from the All Bundled Up stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images in using my Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo and Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny and bird images from the All Bundled Up stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Storybook Gnomes 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! Trimming The Tree Swirl Card

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in store. I’ll be working all day both days this weekend.

Today’s card is one that we made at our Stamp Camp Card Class this past week. I usually have my classes the 1st Tuesday of the month, but with being sick I had to postpone it. I’ve been wanting to make one of these cards and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to share with the ladies. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Swirl 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Swirl 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Marker and I flicked ink all over the Basic White card front panel to give it a very light and subtle background. I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Swirl 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 6 different size circles using my Layering Circles Dies from 6 different patterns of Boughs of Holly DSP. I cut all the circles in half using my Paper Trimmer. I layered the circles from largest to smallest adhering them together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered circles to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue lining up the 3 ends together.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Swirl 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the card front. I adhered the layered card front to the Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock.

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 Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

Stampin' Up! Jingle Jingle Jingle 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Jingle Jingle Jingle Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set along with the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Jingle Jingle Jingle 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP to a Garden Green mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Jingle Jingle Jingle 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the 2 sentiments from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the sentiment fill image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink over the outlined image. I adhered the stamped panel to a Garden Green mat. I wrapped a piece of 2022-2024 In-Color Bakers Twine Pack around the side of the panel and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Jingle Jingle Jingle 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Flat Jingle Bell Trinket by the bow with a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Jingle Jingle Jingle 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the string of lights image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the lights in with Sweet Sorbet, Pool Party, Real Red and Garden Green Inks. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base.

Stampin' Up! Jingle Jingle Jingle 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the string of lights image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set across the top of the envelope front in Garden Green Ink and filled the light images in with Sweet Sorbet, Pool Party, Real Red and Garden Green Inks. I adhered a panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Banners for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
2

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photos are Happy Thanksgiving or Merry Christmas.  You get to pick which photo you want to work with, 184a or 184b. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Banners For You CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Banners Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set along with the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper and the Snowflake Vellum Specialty Paper for my Clean and Layered card today. I went with inspiration photo 184b, Merry Christmas and was inspired by the pine tree, snowflakes and colors.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #184a or 184b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Banners For You CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to an Old Olive card base. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Vellum paper over the pine tree paper using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal just under where the sentiment was going to go.

Stampin' Up! Banners For You CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the banner image from Christmas Banners stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the image out using my Christmas Banners Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Banners stamp set in Old Olive Ink.

Stampin' Up! Banners For You CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered some of the Gold Simply Elegant Trim to the card front using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals over the trim. I added a few Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls to the banner.

Stampin' Up! Banners For You CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Very Best Occasions stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pine bough image from the Christmas Banners stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Old Olive card base.

Stampin' Up! Banners For You CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine bough image from the Christmas Banners stamp set on the top of the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I made it to Jacksonville yesterday. We had a wonderful dinner meeting up with all my team members. This morning I’m off to OnStage. By the time you read this I’ll be heading over to OnStage to check in and start the event. I can’t wait to see the new catalog.

Today I have the quickest and easiest card I think I’ve ever made. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Framed & festive CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Framed & Festive Cling Stamp Set and the Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Framed & festive CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! Framed & festive CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of the Balmy Blue 5/8″ Double Stitched Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Framed & Festive stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a strip of the 2022-2024 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.
