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.

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.

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.

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.

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! 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! 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.

*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.

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. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Planted Paradise 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Bundle, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Glorious Gingham 6 CX 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. 

Stampin' Up! Planted Paradise 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pecan Pie card front using the Exposed Brick EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Planted Paradise 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the bottom of the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Planted Paradise 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch making sure the sentiment was at the top of the circle. I stamped the flowerpot image from the Planted Paradise stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the bottom of the circle. I stamped the plant image from the Planted Paradise stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the flowerpot. I adhered 2 strips of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the circled artwork on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the new Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Planted Paradise 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flowerpot image from the Planted Paradise stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the strip of DSP. I stamped the plant image from the Planted Paradise stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the flowerpot. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Baic White Thick card base.

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.

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! Translucent Florals Masculine Birthday

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is your weekend going? What kind of plans do you have for today? I’ll be organizing my new craft room most of the day. Luckily, we have water again. There was a big water main break Friday evening here in our town which affected 3 towns. We were without water for a few hours on Friday night, then we got it back with very low pressure (barely enough to wash your face and hands). We were put in the ‘boil all water’ before cooking or drinking conditions. Saturday, we got it back with better pressure, and there was a mandatory outdoor conservation ban issued to reduce water usage due to a loss of pressure caused by a water main break and still boil for at least 1 minute before using it. I’m hoping for that message today that we can go back to normal use. Things always seem to happen on a holiday weekend.

Today’s card was the advanced version of yesterday’s masculine card. I changed the colors up for mine and I had to substitute Embossing Powder for Embossing Paste since I didn’t have any. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Masculine Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Masculine Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the thin leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set 3 times in Copper Clay Ink on a Copper Clay card front. Using the Translucent Florals Dies, I cut an old, retired panel of cardstock to make a mask cutting 3 leaves from the top and 3 leaves from the bottom. I placed the mask on top of the card front and secured it with Post-It Note Tape. Using my Versamark stamp pad, I patted all around to make sure the ink got on the leaf openings. I removed the mask and sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the card front to a Copper Clay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Masculine Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink twice. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the 2 leaf dies to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Masculine Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Copper Clay Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Rectangle Dies lining up the bottom of the sentiment with the die so the bottom and sides are rough edges and the top is straight. I adhered as piece of Copper Clay 3/8″ Textures Ribbon to the bottom back of the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Masculine Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the thin leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Copper Clay Ink around the large leaf image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Masculine Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the thin leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine

Good Saturday morning stamping friends HAPPY JULY and welcome to the weekend. Is anyone lucky enough to have an extra-long holiday weekend? Working in retails, not me. I’ll be working in the office all day today since it’s the 1st of the month, I have to get those bills done. The good thing is as soon as I get them done, I just have to drop them off at the post office and I’m done for the day. I’m off Sunday from work, so I’m planning on moving my craft area up to my new craft room, YAY!!! I’ll be moving from a 6′ X 6′ area to about a 10′ X 12′ area, it might take me a bit to get used to being able to spread out a bit. I need to stay home, since my daughter had ankle surgery on Thursday and isn’t allowed to walk. She had to stay in bed with her ankle elevated for 48 hours, which is tough for her. She is allowed to get out of her bed today and move to the sofa. She gets around with crutches, but when you have a house full of stairs it’s hard.

Today’s card is another one from the Creativity Now workshop from last weekend. This one was the 1st of the masculine cards we made and once again I almost followed the directions exactly. I changed up the ink color and used an embossing folder for mine. I’ll have the advanced version for you tomorrow, which again I tweaked to my liking. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle (available in Sept-Dec. 2023 Mini Catalog) along with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

I started by stamping the thin leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink on a Gray Granite card front. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink twice. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the die cut leaves to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment using the Deckled Rectangle Dies by lining up the bottom of the sentiment with the die. I cut the sentiment, so the bottom and sides are uneven, and the top is straight. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, over the leaves. I added a few Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Ocean Front for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already. I hope you are all having a good week.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have a new fun challenge this week.  The inspiration photo #198 is Summertime Fun. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Framed 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ocean Front Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the overall theme, beach and birds in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 198.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Framed 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping a Basic White card front using the Oceanfront stamp set. I stamped the center water image first using Tahitian Tide Ink. I then stamped the sky image using Tahitian Tide Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Last I stamped the sand image on the bottom in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the detailed sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the already stamped sand image. I stamped the tall grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the side. I stamped the cattails image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink next to the tall grass. I adhered the artwork to the center front of a Tahitian Tide card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Pecan Pie cardstock using the Online Exclusive Radiating Stitches Dies. I cut the center out of the panel using the 4th largest Deckled Rectangle Dies to make a frame. I adhered the frame over the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sand piper bird image from the Seaside Bay stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the birds out using the Seaside Bay Dies. I adhered one of the birds using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the other two using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set on a panel of Basic White. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the details sand image in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the tall grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set on either side of the panel in Old Olive Ink. I stamped the cattails image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Tahitian Tide card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set on the bottom of the envelope front and flap. I stamped the tall grass image in Old Olive Ink, the cattails image in Wild Wheat Ink and the sand pipers in Pecan Pie Ink.

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

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! Sweet & Precious Masculine

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. Happy Father’s Day to any father’s out there. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I’m not sure what we’ll be doing today yet.

Today’s card is a pretty quick one that could be for men or women. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet & Precious Cling Stamp Set along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies and Fern 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design is from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge #610.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Wild Wheat card front using the Fern Embossing Folder. I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around the panel securing it on the back with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the embossed panel to a Wild Wheat card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the giraffe image from the Sweet & Precious stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I colored the image using Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet & Precious stamp set on the top of the panel in Pecan Pie Ink.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the stamped image to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Opaque Ovals to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet & Precious stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I stamped the giraffe image from the Sweet & Precious stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the side of the panel. I colored the image with Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the giraffe image from the Sweet & Precious stamp set on the envelope front in Pecan Pie Ink. I colored the image with Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Wild Wheat cardstock to the envelope flap that I embossed using the Fern Embossing Folder.
