Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Has anyone made any plans for the long weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but I have Sunday and Monday off YAY!!!

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty Bundle along with the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring a Petal Pink card base at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I measured from the top of the card front down 3″ and made a small pencil mark. I cut from the 3″ pencil mark to the top of the 4 1/4″ score line using my Paper Trimmer.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I took 1 of the 4″ X 5 1/4″ panels of Pretty Prints DSP and on the left side I made a small pencil mark at 2 7/8″ down from the top. I cut from the 2 7/8″ mark to the top right corner. I cut the panel in half at 2″. I adhered the panels to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the part of the card base that is showing, I stamped the geometric image from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Golden Beauty Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the sentiment.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the flower fill image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I cut the image using my Golden Beauty Dies. I adhered the floral image to the front panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow around the bottom of the floral image using my Simply Elegant Trim.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to a Calypso Coral mat and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock from 1 1/4″down on right side up to top left corner. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Cling Stamp Set in Calypso Coral Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the geometric image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set on the envelope the same as I did for the card on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to the envelope flap.

I cut the banner out using my Rustic Pumpkins Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock.

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Thinking of You

Good Monday morning my stamping friends welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a hot muggy one here in NJ. I was actually happy to be inside working.

Today’s card is a quick one that I think came out pretty nice. It’s a simple one and one that you can easily duplicate. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of a Very Vanilla card front. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder from the Metallic Embossing Powders and set it using my Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the card front using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Very Vanilla mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Gold & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a knot. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot by the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the detailed leaf image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the image out using the Chic Dies. I cut 3 of the detailed leaf dies from the Chic Dies from a panel of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. I adhered the embossed leaf and 2 of the die cut gold leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment and detailed leaf image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Versamark Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Season Of Chic 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the detailed leaf image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front and envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Full Of Love CAS

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope you have a good one!!

Today’s card is a clean and simple card with very little stamping and focuses on Designer Series Paper. For years I didn’t know what to do with DSP, so I would hoard it. NO HOARDING DSP!!!! We need to use our paper to make beautiful cards. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Full Of Love Cling Stamp Set for my sentiments along with the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Happy Forest Friends DSP to a Sahara Sand card base. I adhered a smaller panel of the Happy Forest Friends DSP to a Calypso Coral mat.

I adhered the layered panel to a panel of Sahara Sand cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Old Olive cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Full Of Love stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small bow using the Linen Thread and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Full Of Love stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Happy Forest Friends DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Happy Forest Friends DSP 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 using all DSP and will give it a try. I’m going to make another one soon using the DSP from the Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Bundle, along with the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set and the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Rustic Harvest DSP to a Cajun Craze card base. I adhered a strip of the Rustic Harvest DSP to a Cajun Craze mat and then to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the banner from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Cling Stamp Set. I inked just the banner using my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Marker. I then stamped the sentiment from the Hello Harvest stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink inside the banner. I cut the banner out using my Rustic Pumpkin Dies.

I adhered the banner to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Amber Gems from the Leaf Label & Amber Gems Combo Pack.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pumpkin image from the Hello Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Cajun Craze and Mossy meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Rustic Harvest DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope.

Stampin’ Up! True Beauty Fun Fold Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? Has anyone made any plans? I have off tomorrow and tomorrow night my boss has bought all the employees and a guest, tickets to our local minor league baseball game. There are 40 of us that will be in the picnic area eating, drinking and having fun. When the game is over there’s a fireworks display, YAY!! It’s supposed to be nice out, so hopefully we won’t be sweating too much.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. I’m sorry about the hot mess with my scoring and folding of my card base. I had all the measurements written down, but I wrote one of them wrong. All the correct measurements are below. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here are my cards for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty Bundle along with the Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Blushing Bride card base at 4 1/4″, 6 3/4″ & 9 1/4″.

I adhere panel of Awash In Beauty DSP to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the belly band, I took the strip of Blushing Bride cardstock and loosely wrapped it around the card base, so it slides on and off easily. I adhered it together using Stampin’ Seal +. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the rose image from the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty Cling Stamp Set in Blushing Bride Ink and Merry Merlot Ink. Using my Organic Beauty Dies, I cut the 2 rose images and 3 sprig dies from the Basic White panel. I cut 2 of the leaf dies from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock. I brushed some Balmy Blue Ink on the sprigs using my Blending Brush. I adhered the 2 leaf dies to the belly band using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the roses over the leaf dies using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tucked the sprigs under the roses using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Merry Merlot cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the True Beauty stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the belly bank.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the True Beauty stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the Awash in Beauty DSP. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the True Beauty stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the stem image from the True Beauty stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the rose image from the True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the stem. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the card base over the DSP.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the envelope front. Using my Stampin’ Up! Masking Paper, I stamped the rose and fussy cut it, using my Paper Snips. I covered the rose and stamped the 2nd rose in Merry Merlot Ink and the leaf image from the True Beauty stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered a panel of Awash in Beauty 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments on my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Tropical Hideaway

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend.

Today’s card is one that we made last night at our Stamp Camp Card Class. I like to show the ladies some easy techniques when I can, and I’ve always liked the masking technique. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Hideaway Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Palms Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle for my card today.

I started by using the Chic Dies and cutting a panel of Masking Paper. I adhered the die cut Masking Paper to the center of a Basic White card front. I stamped the Tropical Hideaway stamp on the top using Soft Sea Foam Ink and the bottom using Pool Party Ink. I placed the card front, with mask side down to the stamp, on top of the stamp. I placed a piece of scrap paper on top of the stamp & card front and rubbed it using my hand making sure to press to get a good, stamped image. I carefully removed the paper from the stamp making sure to lift it straight up, so it didn’t smear.

Using my Blending Brush, I added some Petal Pink Ink over the die cut mask before removing it. Once I had coverage the way I wanted, I carefully removed the Masking Paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the card front in the masked area. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Tropical Hideaway image on a Basic White panel after stamping off once on scrap paper. It’s a very light image. I stamped the sentiment from Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. I stamped the seashell image from Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the bottom of the panel, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the shell image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Splendid Day Designer Series Paper 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! Hello Ladybug

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s 4th? Did you go to see fireworks?

Today’s card is one that we will be making tonight at my Stamp Camp Card Class. I’m hoping the ladies like this one. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks for my card today.

I started by using the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and my Blending Brush and added Highland Heather Ink to a Basic White card front. I adhered a panel of Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large leaf image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I fussy cut the leaf using my Paper Snips. I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Ladybug stamp set on the leaf in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the leaf to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the ladybug body and wings from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Tuxedo Black and Real Red Inks. On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the daisy image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Highland Heather Ink one in full strength and one stamped off. I punched the ladybug body and wings out using the Ladybug Builder Punch. I punched the daisies out using the Medium Daisy Punch. Using the Ladybug Builder Punch, I punched the wings from a panel of Vellum Paper and 2 from a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I adhered the stamped wings to the Vellum wings using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the wings to the ladybug body using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 daisies together. I cut the Granny Apple Green wings in half and using my Bone Folder I scored the center of the wings and gave them a little fold. I adhered the leaves to the back of the daisy using Glue Dots. I adhered the daisy and ladybug to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Glossy Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the leaf image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Granny Apple Green, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a Basic White panel. I stamped the ladybug image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Real Red and Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the leaf. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat and then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the ladybug image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Real Red and Tuxedo Black Inks on the envelope front. Using the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks, I used my Blending Brush and added some Highland Heather Ink on 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! Lovely You for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkel’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set along with the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper for my book fold card today.

These are our colors this week. I chose Polished Pink for my mystery color.

I started by coloring some of the flowers on a panel of the Perfectly Penciled DSP using my Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the card front and strip to Polished Pink mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the binding side of the card front together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Versmark Ink and sprinkled it with my Black Embossing Powder. I set it using my Heat Tool. I punched the sentiment out with my Double Oval Punch. I punched out a scalloped oval from a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped oval using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a piece of Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped the small flower from the Lovely You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the envelope front.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by stamping the basket weave image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries Photopolymer Stamp Set on a Crumb Cake card base in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Die. I stamped the sentiments from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot Inks on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron panel, which I cut using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Die, on an angle using Stampin’ Seal.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the cherry image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink 3 times. On another strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink 6 times. On a thin strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the stem image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink 3 times. I punched all the images our using my Cherry Builder Punch. I adhered the stems to the back of the cherries using Glue Dots. I adhered the 1st cherry to the layered panel using Glue Dots and adhered the leaves to the stem using Glue Dots. I adhered the other 2 cherries to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals or Glue Dots.

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot Inks on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cherry image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Merry Merlot Ink. I stamped the stem in Crumb Cake Ink and the leaves in Mint Macaron Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cherry images from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I stamped the basket weave image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the envelope flap in Crumb Cake Ink.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.
