Stampin’ Up! Under The Moon for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Under The Moon Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! beach Day Photopolymer Stamp Set and Perennial Postage Dies for my card today.

This is our theme for this week

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the water image from Under the Moon stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the setting sun image from Under the Moon stamp set on top of the water. I inked the stamp with Lemon Lolly Ink then I added Calypso Coral Ink to the bottom half using a Sponge Dauber. I stamped the sailboat image in Night of Navy Ink.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from Beach Day stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the top of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the cloud image from Under the Moon stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink under the sentiment, stamping off on scrap paper once. I added an Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gem to the card front. I cut a panel of Basic White using the largest Perennial Postage Die. I adhered the artwork to the die cut mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to a Night of Navy card base using Liquid Glue.

I stamped the water image from the Under the Moon stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the sailboat image from the Under the Moon stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

I stamped the sailboat image from the Under the Moon stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the setting sun image from Under the Moon stamp set in Lemon Lolly and Calypso Coral Inks on 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! Friendly Fins for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For The Men/Boys”. We can interpret this however we want. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Fins Bundle along with the Stylish Shapes Dies and So Swirly Embossing Folder for my card.

My colors are from Colours & Sketches Challenge #536

My design is from TGIF Sketch Challenge #472

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pool Party card front using the So Swirly EF. I wrapped a piece of Pebbled Path Jute Trim from the 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim, around the card front and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 3 squares from a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Unfortunately, this DSP is no longer available, and I didn’t realize it until after my card was done. There is a pattern in the Winter Meadow DSP that would work perfectly. I adhered the squares to the card front using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the dolphin, stingray, fish and rock outlined images from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Fins Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the solid dolphin image from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper first then over the outlined image. I stamped the stingray and rock, solid images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 1 time first, over the outlined images. I stamped the solid fish image in Pool Party Ink, stamping off 1 time on scrap paper first, over the outlined image. I stamped the 2 sentiments from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the Basic Whtie panel. I cut all the images out using the Friendly Fins Dies. I cut the one sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and fussy cut the other using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the rocks using Glue Dots and all the other images and sentiments using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the dolphin and stingray outlined images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the solid dolphin and stingray images from the Friendly Fins stamp set over the outlined images stamping the dolphin off 2 times and the stingray off 1 time on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Fins Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the outlined stingray and rock images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the solid stingray and rock images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered a panel of DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky Cling Stamp Set along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper and Deckled Circles Dies for my card today. I let the DSP do most of the work for me today.

These are our colors for this week

My design is from Sunday Stamps Front & Center Challenge #334

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Copper Clay into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the banner to a panel of Night of Navy using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the Night of Navy panel on an angle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the smallest plane image from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 2 times, then stamping over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd from the smallest Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium plane from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, then over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Take to the Sky DSP on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium plane image from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 1 creativestampungdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! adventurous Sky Cling Stamp Set along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both of these items will be available starting next Wednesday May 1st.

Here is our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 2 creativestampungdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel Take to the Sky DSP to a Copper Clay mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 3 creativestampungdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Take to The Sky DSP to Boho Blue mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 4 creativestampungdesigns.com

On a panel of Boho Blue, I stamped the smallest airplane and sentiment from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment between the other 2 panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots (retiring April 30th) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 5 creativestampungdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the largest cloud image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I stamped the cloud image again on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 6 creativestampungdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large cloud image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the smallest plane image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper clay ink above the clouds. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine Card

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started off well.

Today’s card is a sneak peek at a new set coming on May 1st. I needed to make a CAS card for the beginner class that I’m doing next month and I thought this one would be perfect. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a Very Vanilla card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set on the top of the card front in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I took another small piece of Pecan Pie Bordered Ribbon and tied a knot around the ribbon. I adhered the layered card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Back Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like this card and this set will be on your wish list. It comes as a bundle with dies and it’s perfect for those masculine cards. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? Anyone starting to make plans? Who has a nice long weekend for Presidents Day? Not me, even though I work in the office, I work in retail.

Sorry I wasn’t able to go live with this card on Wednesday, I’d had a migraine for a couple days and just wasn’t feeling up to it. So, as most of you know, I work in a hardware store. I work in the office and run the register on the weekends. When Sale-a-bration came out with the Trusty Toolbox DSP, I had to make some kind of a card using all the tools. I did not get the Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools Bundle, so I had to get creative myself.  I decided to make my boss a birthday card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration Cling Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper for my card today. Surprisingly I only used Stamps, Ink and Paper. There still time to get this DSP FREE with a qualifying order of $50 or more during Sale-a-bration.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by fussy cutting a lot of the tools from the Trusty Toolbox DSP using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic Black easel card base to the Gray Granite card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of the Trusty Toolbox DSP to the Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the ruler piece of Trusty Toolbox DSP. I adhered the ‘ruler’ to the top of the front panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered some of the tools I fussy cut to the front panel using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered more of the tools I fussy to the inside pegboard panel of Trusty Toolbox DSP card front using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Gray granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered more of the tools I fussy cut to the panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Trusty Toolbox DSP mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Trusty Toolbox DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Waves Of Inspiration Tools 8 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Nature for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends and Happy Valentine’s Day. How is everyone doing today? Is anyone doing anything for Valentine’s Day? It’s Wednesday, so I’ll be working.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #204 is Winter Warmth. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Nature Bundle (available March 5th) along with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I was inspired by the pine trees in the photo along with the color scheme for my Clean & Layered card today. 

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 204.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the branch circle from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set on a Very Vanilla card front in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the center of the circle out using the Encircled In Nature Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Timber EF.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On another panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the rounded tree image and the tall tree image from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the moon and stars image from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink between the trees. I adhered the embossed card front to the stamped Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Mossy Meadow I cut the tree images using the Encircled In Nature Dies. From a panel of Crumb Cake, I cut the foliage image using the Encircled In Natures Dies. I adhered the die cut images to the bottom of the branch circle using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. I adhered the bow to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the tree images from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper 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:   T9JKA3XQ

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 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  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.

********************************************************************************************************

Last Day for my “Stuck on You Valentine” Ordering Special!

For all orders of $50 or greater (before shipping and taxes) that have my Current Host Code T9JKA3XQ applied or for individual orders of $150 or greater placed through me between now and Wednesday, February 14, you’ll get your choice of a free adhesive! You MUST remember to add my Host Code to your orders.

This can be anything that Stampin’ Up! sells that could be used as an adhesive!  And for the adhesives that are $5 or under, two packs will equal one choice (see the items with the (2) on the list below) so if you select those, you’ll get double, YAY!!

The adhesive will be in addition to the normal thank you gift that I order for you!!  Plus, since your order will be over $50, you’ll earn Sale-A-Bration item(s) too.  A big double YAY for more free goodies!!

***Please note, if your order is over $150, do not apply a host code.  If you apply a host code to your order, it will take away your host benefits and we don’t want that!  But don’t worry, you’ll still be eligible for the free gift and free adhesive offer!

Here is a list of the adhesives that you can pick from:

  • Adhesive Sheets
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive
  • Stampin’ Seal
  • Stampin’ Seal Refill
  • Stampin’ Seal +
  • Stampin’ Seal + Refill
  • Fine-Tip Glue Pen
  • Silicone Craft Sheet (even though it’s not an adhesive…it is an awesome tool for adhesives!)
  • Foam Adhesive Strips
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Black Stampin’ Dimensionals Combo Pack
  • Foam Adhesive Sheets
  • Cling Adhesive
  • Heat & Stick Powder

I’ll be placing the order for the adhesives with my host orders on February 16th, so please be sure to send your selections right away when you order…otherwise I’ll pick one for you and send it out with your thank you gift!

*With Stampin’ Up!’s new backorder policy where numbers are turned off for ordering if they go on backorder, if the adhesive that you pick is turned off for ordering when I place the order on the 16th, I’ll order Stampin’ Dimensionals for you instead.

Light The Sky Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the panel. I sprinkled them with Copper Embossing Powder and set them using the Heat Tool.

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! Bird’s Eye View for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are getting ready for the weekend. It’s going to be a rainy day here, which might mean great day for card making if I don’t get myself involved with too many other things.

My card today just has an extra fold on it, not really a fun fold. This wasn’t what I was planning on making for my live on Wednesday. I wasn’t able to go live since I got myself so involved cutting my neighbors hedges that they haven’t trimmed back in years and were over growing in my yard. By the time I was done it was just about 4 and I was covered in twigs and leaves. I’ll be back next Wednesday at 4pm ET on my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today. If you want to see a super quick video of how I mad it, you can see it here on my Instagram page.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye Vies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Deckled Circles Dies (both available September 6) for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Distressed Gold mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Copper Clay card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Very Vanilla using the 8th from the largest Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bottom of the circle in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on top of the books. I stamped the eye glass image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bird in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the image using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I scored and folded the circle on the right side at 1/2″.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the folded edge of the circle, I adhered the artwork behind the card front. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

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

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using Copper Clay, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the All About Autumn DSP to the top of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the books, bird and eye glass images from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card using the Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.
