Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful Sunflower & 20% off All Two-Tone Sale Today

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. How is your week going? I hope you are having a good one so far and it’s not too hot where you are. It’s been very steamy here in NJ with what feels like 1000% humidity.

I played with my favorite embossing folder for a supper quick and easy card today. I really like when either an embossing folder or DSP does most of the work for you with a card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Label Me Grateful Sunflower 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful Cling Stamp Set along with the Textured Notes Dies and Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Label Me Grateful Sunflower 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut the center out of a panel of Petunia Pop with the 3rd largest Textured Notes Dies. Put the panel back together and emboss the panel with the Sunflower EF.

Stampin' Up! Label Me Grateful Sunflower 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the outside frame of the embossed panel to a Thick Basic White card base with Liquid Glue. For the center panel, swipe the White Craft Ink across the panel highlighting the raised image. Adhere the inked panel to a Basic White mat with Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to the center of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet in Copper

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How has your week started? Today’s a very special day; it’s my dad’s birthday and he was the most wonderful dad any child would want. Unfortunately, I lost him 28 years ago, but he will always be in my heart. I still remember our walks together, the games we played, puzzles we built and all the wonderful things we did together. Yes, I was a daddy’s little girl. Did you or do you still have a special bond with your dad?

Today’s card I played with some older sets from the annual catalog. Sometimes we forget about those with all the new products from the mini catalogs and online exclusives. I’ve also used one of the 2023-2025 In-Colors that will be retiring in April. If this is one you like, grab it while it’s still available. 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 for today.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet in Copper 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a Copper Clay card front using the Distressed Tile EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Copper Clay card base using Liquid Glue.

Wrap a piece of the Copper Jute Trim around the bottom and tie a bow. On a panel of Copper Clay, stamp the same image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the heat embossed panel to a Basic Beige mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet in Copper 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the layered embossed panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. Adhere the stamped layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Delicate Forest Die. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dots to the card front.

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.

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.

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.

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! Greetings of The Season

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are all have some plans in the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m hoping to start the Christmas decorating process a little tomorrow. Yesterday and last night I was able to completely un-decorate my house. Those of you that know me, know that I pack everything away for the holidays from Knick Knacks to pictures and pillows. I rearrange furniture and move some out of the room to fit my Christmas decorations and tree. My house is like walking into Christmas land.

Today’s card was designed by Karen Ilsley for our retreat last weekend. It’s such a beautiful Christmas card and I couldn’t wait to make it. Here’s my card for today.
