Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Were you able to enjoy some time outside? I was in all weekend, between working, the storms and the heat & humidity, I wanted nothing to do with outside. I did have to take Coraline for multiple walks though. For some reason when I’m home, she seems to need me to take her out walking every couple hours. When she’s home with my husband and daughter she sleeps all day.

I have a quick card for you today that could be a wedding card, an anniversary card, a birthday card or anything else you want to celebrate with someone. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Gorgeous Garden Dies, 2″ Circle Punch and Bough Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Basic White card front using the Gorgeous Garden Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut card front to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On panels of Basic White, I stamped 2 leaf images and the flower image from the Layering Leaves stamp set 2 times each in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Bough Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and flowers under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Gue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Layereing Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the 2nd set of leaves and flowers to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Patchwork

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend and Memorial Day? It was a gorgeous weekend and Memorial Day here. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. Perfect day to be outside for a picnic and for the bike races, although it was a bit breezy.

Those that know me know that I like layers on my cards. I have a lot of trouble doing simple 1 layer cards. Today’s card is no different, there’s a lot of layers. Here’s my card for today.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Petal Park stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Tropical Leave Monochromatic Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends welcome to the new week. What did you do for Mother’s Day? Were you able to relax or craft a bit? Maybe spend some time outside gardening? I hope you had dinner made for you or were taken out. We went to the Extreme Experience for my husband to drive the racecar. He had a blast. He was able to get the car to 137mph. The whole thing was recorded from inside the car, so we watched it when we got home. He was able to keep up with the pace car the whole ride. It was a perfect gorgeous day here. I even got a little color from standing in the pit area.

I have a quick and easy card today that’s pretty clean and simple too. I’ve used some of the Online Exclusive products for it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Tropical Leaf Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Online Exclusive Designer Tags Dies and the new Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #585.

Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 4 strips of Countryside Inn DSP to a Night of Navy card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Tropical Leaf stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the Night of Navy card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using the Designer Tags Dies, I cut the sprig from a panel of Night of Navy and the butterfly from a panel of Boho Blue cardstock. I am so happy the Designer Tags Dies are part of the Online Exclusive Products. These dies were in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, and I thought for sure they were going to retire. I adhered the sprig and butterfly to the sentiment panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front and Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the butterfly.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Tropical Leaf stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I used the beautiful flower die from the Designer Tags Dies and cut the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue 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.

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! 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.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow CAS

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 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to a Glod Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

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! Brightest Glow CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered 2 strips of Lights Aglow DSP to the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Evening Evergreen mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Lights Aglow DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat 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 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

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.

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.
