Stampin’ Up! He’s All That

Good Monday morning my stamping friends and Happy MAY and Happy May Day!!! How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything special? A quick reminder that today is the last day of the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS, but tomorrow is the launch of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog – with new fun goodies – new Core Colors – and new 2023-2025 In Colors!  I can’t wait!!  Today’s card uses a couple of the new Core Colors.

I have a masculine card for you today. As most of you know, I really struggle with these cards. I don’t usually have to make many, but I do like to have some on hand. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Bundle along with the Basics 3D Embossing Folder, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. The stamp set and dies will be carrying over to the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, but not at the bundle price. Today is the last day to get the bundle price saving 10%.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Pecan Pie cardstock (available tomorrow May 2nd) using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock (available tomorrow May 2nd) using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I punched 3 strips of Hello Irresistible DSP using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the strips to the Pretty Peacock embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the car image from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set. Using my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker (available tomorrow May 2nd), I colored just the bottom sentiment on the stamp. Using my Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker (available tomorrow May 2nd), I colored just the car on the stamp. I gave is a huff to reactivate the ink and stamped the image. I cut the sentiment and image out using the All That Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the banners using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from He’s All That stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped just the car image from He’s All That stamp set. I colored just the car on the stamp using Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker, gave it a little huff and stamped. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the car image from He’s All That stamp set on the envelope front. I colored just the car on the stamp using my Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

Product List

Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already. Is anyone lucky enough to have Friday off? I usually do, but of course they had to change my schedule around this week to work. Every year for as long as I can remember, I have made Easter egg bread on Good Friday. I don’t think I’ll be making it this year. I thought about making it on Thursday, but I’m not sure yet. It’s an all-day thing that I start at the crack of dawn and don’t usually finish until after dinner.

I had so much fun making today’s card. This was a set that I saw, thought it was cute and said I’d never use it. Once I saw that it was carrying over, I thought, well maybe I will use it. I’m so happy I got it. Have any of you thought that about sets from the catalog? I love the puns in the set and the little faces you can use. I also think it’s a great set for masculine cards and the tween age that I always have trouble figuring out what to make. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Taco Fiesta Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stylish Shapes Dies and retiring 2022-2024 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design came from Sunday Stamps Challenge #306, Square Up.

Stampin' Up! Taco Fiesta Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to a Sweet Sorbet mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the images from the Taco Fiesta stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the smallest Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the images in using Bronze, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow, Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I added the faces from the Taco Fiesta stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink.

Stampin' Up! Taco Fiesta Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the images to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. wrapped a piece of 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine around the card front 3 times and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Taco Fiesta Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Taco Fiesta stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink below the images on the DSP. I adhered the layered card front to a Tahitian Tide card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In- Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Taco Fiesta Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Taco Fiesta stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the images from the Taco Fiesta stamp set in Tuxedo Balck Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Granny Appl Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Parakeet Party mat then to the inside of the Tahitian Tide card base.

Stampin' Up! Taco Fiesta Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Taco Fiesta stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them in using Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’ve hit the halfway mark of the week already and on our way to the weekend.

Last night was my Stamp Camp Card Class, which is always a lot of fun. Today’s card is the 1st one we made using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty Cling Stamp Set along with the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Subtle DSP to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I took a panel of Basic White cardstock and using Masking Paper, I sectioned off the card front. Using my Blending Brush, I added Sahara Sand Ink on the sectioned portion. Once I had the amount of color I wanted, I removed the Masking Paper.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the 2 bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set on the panel in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set randomly on the bamboo in Pear Pizzazz Ink.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the card front to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock. I stamped the thinner bamboo and leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of Subtle DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bamboo and leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz 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.

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.

This Sale-a-bration set, that will only be available until Tuesday February 28th makes a perfect masculine card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park for The Card Concepts

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 photo #187a is Winter Cocoa and inspiration photo #187b is Winter Snow.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the By The Bay 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the colors from inspiration photo #187a for my clean & layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #187a or #187b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #300.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock using the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of By The Bay DSP using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the die cut panel of By The Bay DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Cherry Cobbler card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from Sentimental Park stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the DSP panel. I wrapped a piece of Crumb Cake Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack, around the card front 3 times and tied a knot.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Tree Rings Dies with the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder, I cut a panel of Crumb Cake and Early Espresso cardstock. I cut the center out from the Crumb Cake panel using the Tree Rings Dies. I adhered the Crumb Cake center to the Early Espresso panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered tree ring to the card front, over the bakers twine, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Christmas Pinecone Dies I cut the detailed die from a panel of Early Espresso cardstock and the solid image from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, 3 times each. I adhered the detailed pinecones to the solid pinecones using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered pinecones to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Enamel Dot Essentials to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the tree ring image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiments from the Sentimental Park stamp set in Early Espresso Ink over the tree ring image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree ring image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Early Espresso Ink over the tree ring image. I adhered a panel of By The Bay DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship 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’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Seasonal Labels Dies for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Neutrals DSP to a Soft Suede card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tree trunk image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the solid image of the treetop from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink and the detailed treetop image in Pumpkin Pie Ink over the Crushed Curry image. I cut the image out using the largest die from the Seasonal Labels Dies.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the smaller die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered a piece of Crumb Cake Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack to the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat and then to the inside of the Soft Suede card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree images from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Neutrals DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Birthday

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun?

A while back my neighbor asked me to make invitations for her husband’s 80th birthday party. I finally got around to making a sample to see if she liked it, but the sample is the birthday card that I’m going to give him. The invitations do not have ribbon or embellishments on them. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Bundle along with the He’s The Man Designer Series Paper and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

I started by embossing a Sahara Sand card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Sahara Sand card bae using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 panels of He’s The Man DSP to Early Espresso mats. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the longer layered panel using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim around the layered panels and tied a knot. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the image out using the All That Dies. I sponged Sahara Sand Ink around the edges of the die cut image using a Sponge Dauber. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating you Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso 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 He’s The Man 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 and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You For The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. We’ve had a beautiful one here so far.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Make It Masculine. We all know the struggle with masculine cards. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You Bundle along with the He’s The Man Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by the Colors from the Inspiration Photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #177.  How are you inspired by this photo?

My design is from Inspire. Create Challenge #118.

I started by adhering a panel of He’s The Man DSP to an Early Espresso card base. I adhered another strip of He’s The Man DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered one of the die cut pieces from He’s The Man DSP to the card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You Photopolymer Stamp Set on the bottom of the die in Early Espresso Ink. I cut a panel of Crushed Curry cardstock using the largest circle from Beautiful Shapes Dies. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the beer mug image from the Brewed For You stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the fill image in Crushed Curry Ink. I stamped the foam image from the Brewed For You stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I cut the beer mug and foam image out using the Brewed Dies. I adhered the foam and mug to the Crushed Curry circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Brewed For You stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bubble image from the Brewed For You stamp set in Soft Suede Ink around the sentiment. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crushed Curry mat and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the beer mug from Brewed For You stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of He’s The Man DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Lighthouse Point for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Did you ever have one of those days where you can’t get out of your own way? That was my day yesterday. Because of that, I had a very productive day. I had a hair appointment in the morning. I followed that by going grocery shopping (which I hate to do anymore). When I got home, I had no crafting mojo, so I went outside to weed 1 of my flower gardens. That led to weeding 3 of them, cutting some tree branches and cleaning up around my yard. Before I knew it my son was leaving for work, which was 3pm. I finished up outside and went in to do laundry. I finally was able to sit down to work on my blog when I got a text that my daughter was on the train on her way home from school. I picked her up and then it was off to Costco. Needless to say, I never got to my craft table, but I got a lot done and by the end of the day I was content that I did something on my day off.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Red, White & Blue. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lighthouse Point Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Ocean Front Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Cling Stamp Set and the Stamin’ Up! Gentle Waves Cling Stamp Set for my Clean Graphic Card. I was inspired by the colors from the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #176.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by using my Water Painter with Tahitian Tide Ink and coloring the top of a Basic White panel. I stamped the bottom of the panel using the Gentle Waves stamp with Starry Sky Ink. I stamped a strip of Sahara Sand cardstock using the sand image from the Ocean Front stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I tore the panel to give it the sand image. I adhered the strip of Sahara Sand cardstock to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the panel using my Deckled Rectangle Die. I adhered the panel to a Starry Sky card base. I stamped the bird image from the On The Horizon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel.

Using my Lighthouse Dies, I cut the solid lighthouse from a panel of Sweet Sorbet cardstock. I cut the detailed lighthouse from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the lighthouse top from a panel of Basic Black cardstock and the rail from a scrap of Silver Foil Paper. I cut the top of the solid Sweet Sorbet lighthouse with my Paper Snips. I adhered the lighthouse top to the solid panel. I adhered the detailed lighthouse over the Sweet Sorbet lighthouse using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Silver Foil rail to the top of the detailed panel. I adhered the lighthouse to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lighthouse Point Photopolymer Stamp Set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Lighthouse Dies. I tied a Carrick Bend Knot using my Crumb Cake Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. I adhered the knot to the sentiment and adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pebbles Enamel Shapes around the lighthouse and Faux Sea Glass Shapes along the sand.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Lighthouse Point stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the lighthouse image from the Lighthouse Point stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the detailed lighthouse image over the solid image in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Lighthouse Point stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat and then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the lighthouse image from the Lighthouse Point stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the 2022-2024 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.
