Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Thanks

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Are you ready for the week? I’ve got a busy one since it’s the end of the month and beginning.

I have a quick fun fold for you today with a set that I have used before, but I don’t believe I’ve used the bundle. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Bundle along with the Amazing Thanks Dies and Fern 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding my Soft Succulent card base as listed below in the measurements. I stamped the fern image from the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Lovely Layers Vellum. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to a Soft Succulent mat. I adhered the layered panel to the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using my Amazing Thanks Dies, I cut the sentiment from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock and the bubble from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiments together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 Opal Rounds to the card front.

I embossed the 1″ panel of Soft Succulent using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the right side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Botanical Layers stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Soft Succulent 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! In The Country CAS Masculine

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend is going well. Before I get going with my card, I just want to remind everyone that Sale-a-bration ends Tuesday, that’s just 2 more sleeps away. If you haven’t gotten everything that you wanted from Sale-a-bration now is a great time to get that order in. Also, I want to remind you that the 2021-2023 In-Colors will be retiring in April. Don’t wait to stock up on the Cardstock, Stampin’ Write Markers, Stampin’ Blends, Ribbons, Embellishments, etc. Stock up now and get some FREE items at the same time.

I have a super quick card for you today and it’s a masculine one. I don’t know about you, but I struggle with masculine cards all the time. I don’t have the need for many, and I avoid making them. 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! In The Country CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Country Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set along with the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Neutrals DSP to a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the country road image from the In The Country stamp set in Basic Gray Ink.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the largest die from the Fabulous Frames Dies, I cut a panel of Basic White and Basic Gray cardstock. I only needed the inner piece from the Basic Gray die cut. I adhered the stamped image to the Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White frame to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the country road image from the In The Country stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Neutrals DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything exciting? Other than the warm temperatures here in NJ, Autumn is in full bloom. The leaves are all beautiful shades of Yellow, Red, Orange and Purple and they are falling so quickly to the ground. My puppy is having so much fun in them. She loves diving in to the pile to find her ball.

Today I have a super quick and easy card for you that mainly features the DSP. This is one of those cards that is easy to make multiples in a short time. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set along with the Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to a Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirl to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

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 Jaimie’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Giving Thanks”. We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the small wheat image from the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Cling Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Very Vanilla card front. I cut the bottom of the panel using the Basic Borders Dies. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of He’s The Man Designer Series Paper to the bottom front of a Very Vanilla Thick card base. I adhered the embossed panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the large wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the image our using the Wheat Dies. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the wheat image and tied a knot. I adhered the wheat to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 3 of the wheat dies from a panel of Distressed Gold Paper and adhered them under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a gold Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the small wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Sahara Sand Ink. I cut the border die from the Wheat Dies from a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock. I adhered the border to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I adhered a panel of He’s The Man DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Paneled Christmas

Posted on by
8

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week has started out good. Stampin’ Up! has added some additional items that you can earn for FREE with orders beginning at $50 during Sale-a-bration!  You can see the new items Here.

Today’s card is similar to one I did a while back at our monthly mystery stamping. One of the ladies that comes to my Stamp Camp Card Class asked if we could make that card, but since I’m doing a Christmas in July theme, I adjusted it to that. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 1 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 2 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to a Garden Green card base. I stamped the pine boughs images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green and Soft Sea Foam on 3 panels of Basic White cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 3 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I embossed the 3 panels using my Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panels to Garden Green mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 3 layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 4 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Garden Green Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Seasonal Labels Dies. I threaded a piece of Garden Green ribbon from the Real Red and Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack through the ends of the die cut sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 5 creativestampiungdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pine bough images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green Ink first full strength, then again without reinking and the smaller image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Garden Green mat and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 6 creativestampiungdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine bough images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front first full strength, then again without reinking. I stamped the smaller pine bough image from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink below the larger pine bough image. I adhered a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Birthday

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week has started off good. It’s cooling down here today. We actually got about 5 minutes of rain at midnight. Not enough to water lawns and flowers, but it’s a start lol.

Today I have a quick birthday card for you. I’m thinking about maybe getting started with some of my Christmas cards tomorrow. It’s just so hot I haven’t been able to think Christmas. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set along with the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to an Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Abigail Rose DSP using the 2nd largest Scalloped Contours Dies. I colored 1 of the flowers on the cut panel using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to a Crumb Cake mat.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of the Natural 1/2″ Woven Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a knot. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from Cottage Rose stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Cottage Rose Stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Cottage Rose stamp set on the side of the panel in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Crumb Cake mat and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Abigail Rose DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
16

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! Amazing Silhouettes Cling Stamp Set along with the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to a Blackberry Bliss card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the butterfly image from Amazing Silhouettes stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Amazing Thanks Dies, I cut the detailed sentiment from a panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I cut the mat for the sentiment from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I adhered the detailed sentiment to the mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

to complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set on the envelope front in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting 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! Botanical Layers Sympathy

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How is everyone doing today? Are you ready for the weekend? I’ll be working both days this weekend.

Sorry I missed my Facebook Live on Wednesday, I ended up at work until after 4pm. Everything was cleaned up and all the work got done as planned, but whatever could go wrong did. Today’s card is not the one I was going to make on Wednesday, I just made a real quick one for today. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Cling Stamp Set along with the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set (available July 1) for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding an Evening Evergreen card base. I folded the card base in half and then folded the front half back to make a Z-fold card.

I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to a Soft Sea Foam mat. I adhered the layered panel to the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the bottom of the panel. I cut the panel using the 5rh largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink overlapping the fern. I embossed the panel using my Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, only on the left half. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base. I cut a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the 5th largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card base, lining it up with the card front so that you can’t see it when the card is closed.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set in Soft Sea Form Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet CAS Sneak Peek

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was very rainy here and it got cold again. Just when I thought spring was here it changed back.

I have a sneak peek for you today from the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Before I forget, if you are a customer of mine, be watching your mail. I was able to get to the post office on Friday before they closed and got your catalogs in the mail. If you are not a customer of mine yet and would like to be and would like a catalog, please send me a note at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I’ll get one in the mail to you. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Cling Stamp Set along with the retiring Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Pattern Party DSP to a Basic Black card base. This is a Hose Exclusive pack of DSP that will be retiring May 2nd.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. Using the 2nd largest Stitched Rectangle Die I cut a panel of Basic Black cardstock. I adhered the artwork to the Basic Black rectangle using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Black Matte Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pattern Party DSP mat and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party 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 with the new stamp set and might be adding this one to your wish list too. It makes nice quick and easy cards. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Mother’s Day

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do something fun.

Today’s card is one that we are going to make at my Stamp Camp card class tomorrow night. I thought I’d focus on using some designer series paper with the ladies. I know I always used to struggle with how and when to use it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating you Cling Stamp Set along with the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper for my card today. Tomorrow night the ladies are all going to be making this card, but they will all have different designs of the DSP and different color card stock for their cards. I can’t wait to see how different they all come out.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Polished Pink mat and then to a Thick Basic White card base.

I cut 4 panels of the Expressions in Ink DSP using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the 4 cut panels of DSP to 4 Polished Pink mats and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the same side Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to a Polished Pink mat. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Expressions in Ink DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Expressions in Ink DSP on 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! New Shipping Fees Beginning April 1

I want to let you know about a change to Stampin’ Up!’s shipping and handling pricing.  Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater.

If you ever use the expedited shipping options, those fees are going up a bit too.  Here are the new fees for expedited shipping:

  • Next Day Upgrade: $38.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 2nd Day Upgrade: $23.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 3 Day Shipping Upgrade: $15.00 USD ($5.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • The expedited shipping option rates above are calculated in addition to the standard shipping rate (e.g., the next day shipping option would cost $7.95 USD or 11%—whichever is greater—plus $38.00 USD)

I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me.  Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so they can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated paper crafting products that you love.
