Stampin’ Up! In The Moment for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. 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 Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 1 creativestamppingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. I also used all the new 2023-2025 In-Colors for my card.

These are our colors for this week

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge 308.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 2 creativestamppingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 3 creativestamppingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Copper Clay, Ivory, Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Pebbled Path cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it using White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the end using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I added 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 5 creativestamppingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! Desert Details for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone making plans for the weekend yet? It’s supposed to be a rainy one here. We’ll see what happens.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the retiring Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Bundle along with the retiring Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper and the Dry Brushed Metallic Paper for my card today. The Dry Brushed Metallic Paper will still be available as an Online Exclusive product after May 1st. The bundle and DSP will only be available until May 1st.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding a Basic White card base as listed below. I adhered 2 panels of the Delicate Desert DSP to the front panels of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Delicate Desert DSP to 2 Cajun Craze mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger layered panel to the left side of the card front using Stampin’ Seal +. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the right side of the card front, centering it with the larger pane, using Stampin’ Seal +.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Delicate Desert DSP, I stamped the larger flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Desert Details stamp set in Gray Granite Ink 2 times. I cut the flowers out using the Desert Details Dies. From a panel of Dry Brushed Metallic paper, I cut 4 of the aloe or spikey dies (I’m not sure what that plant is called) from the Desert Details Dies. On a strip of Cajun Craze cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Desert Details stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the right layered panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 3 of the die cut pieces above the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the smaller flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Delicate Desert DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Desert Details stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered another one of the Dry Brushed Metallic dies to the panel. I adhered a large and small flower I had stamped on a panel of Delicate Desert DSP in Gray Granite Ink and cut out using the Desert Details Dies on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger flower from the Desert Details stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Delicate Desert DSP to the envelope flap.

Price Changes Coming With The 2023-2024 Annual Catalog

Stampin’ Up! let us know that some of the items in the new catalog will have higher prices when the catalog is launched on May 2.  The prices for all items that are carrying over will continue to be the current catalog prices through May 1.  So now is a great time to stock up on any favorites before the price increases happen in early May!  We have not been told any specifics on the amount that the prices will increase but we have been given a list of items that will increase in price with the new catalog.

Due to increased costs to produce these items, beginning May 2 new prices will be in effect within the following product categories:

  • Cardstock
  • Designer Series Paper
  • Specialty Paper
  • Notecards and Envelopes
  • Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads and Refills

To see the updated pricing, check the new 2023–2024 Annual Catalog.  I’ll be mailing out the catalogs in mid-April to my ordering customers so take a peek when it arrives in your mailbox.  So, the good news is that you will have time to order any last-minute items before the new pricing starts once you see the upcoming catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already and at the end of April. This month just flew by for me. I hope your week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have a new challenge this week and I just love these colors.  The inspiration photo #194 is Spring Bouquet. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Clean and Simple card. I was inspired by the bouquet of flowers in the center of the table and the soft colors.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 194.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the larger flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I masked the image using a Post-It note. I stamped the smaller flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on either side of the larger flower. I masked the small flower and stamped one more of the small flowers. While the masks were on the flowers, I stamped the leaves from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the flowers. I stamped the splotch image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the flowers. I removed the masks.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I colored the flowers using the Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the card font.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set on the bottom of the panel and the smaller flower on the top of the panel. I stamped the leaves in Soft Sea Foam Ink and the splotch in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the flowers using my Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Spring 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the smaller flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope flap. I stamped the leaves from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Sof Sea Foam Ink and the splotch image in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the flower in using my Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches 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 Tara’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For the Girls/Ladies”. We can interpret this however we want. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Bundle, the retiring Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set, the new Countryside Corners Dies and the retiring Texture Chic Designer Series Paper. Some of the products used today will be available starting May 2nd from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Texture Chic DSP to a Lost Lagon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Pool Party cardstock using the 3rd largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I stamped the branch image from the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the one side of the die cut panel using my Paper Trimmer. I stamped the sentiment from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the bottom of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the die cut embossed panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the bird image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. On a panel of Petal Pink cardstock, I stamped the cluster of flowers image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I cut the bird and flowers out using the Seasonal Branches Dies. I colored the bird using my Calypso Coral and Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the bird and flowers to the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some of the retiring Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flower centers.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the branch image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Pecan Pie Ink. I stamped the single flower image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the branch. I stamped the bird image in Tuxedo Black Ink on the branch. I colored the bird using my Calypso Coral and Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the branch image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Petal Pink on the branches. I stamped the bird image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the branch and colored it using my Calypso Coral and Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Texture Chic 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! Marigold Moments CAS Mother’s Day

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend and Easter? It was very quiet here. My daughter and I made a nice brunch and it was a very relaxing day.

Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Mother’s Day

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends welcome to the weekend. Happy April!!!! I hope you have some fun plans in the works. It’s supposed to be stormy hear the last I heard.

Today’s card uses all items that will be retiring. This is such a happy and sad time in the Stampin’ Up! community. Happy because new items are coming, but sad because some of my favorite items will be leaving. If you like the items I used for my card today, don’t wait, grab them while they are still available. Once they are gone, they are gone for good. The only thing not retiring that I used are the dies. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Daffodil Daydream Mother's Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set and Fine Shimmer Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Daffodil Daydream Mother's Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Fine Shimmer Paper card front using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Daffodil Daydream Mother's Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the larger daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I colored the image using the Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. Unfortunately, the Soft Succulent Blends are sold out already. I stamped the sentiment from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink.

Stampin' Up! Daffodil Daydream Mother's Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card font.

Stampin' Up! Daffodil Daydream Mother's Day 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the single daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using the Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

Stampin' Up! Daffodil Daydream Mother's Day 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set on the envelope front. I stamped the single daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set on the envelope flap. I colored the images using the Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Butterfly Brilliance for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. 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. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Nature 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Bundle, Design A Daydream Host Designer Series Paper and Brushstroke Specialty Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Nature 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Brushstroke Specialty Paper using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Nature 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Highland Heather and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the butterfly out using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I adhered the butterfly to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Nature 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Cling Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Natural Prints Dies. I stamped the floral image from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on either side of the sentiment. I tied a large bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the layered panel using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 3 black Classic Matte Dots to the butterfly body. I added a couple Solid Faceted Gems to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Nature 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the floral image from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Nature 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image with my Highland Heather and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Ours started out beautiful and now it’s rainy again. I’m so over the rain this year. Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow and Sunday 😦

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Abigail Rose DSP in the center of the 5 1/4″ side in 2″. I scored from the 2″ mark to the top and bottom corner of the panel. I folded the DSP back on the fold lines. I put a Glue Dot behind each corner.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the DSP card front panel to a Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the Basic White panel in the opening.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I tied a small knot using the Petal Pink Soft Polyester 3/8″ Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Before scoring the card base, I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink in the center inside of the card base. I stamped the tulip images from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the stems. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Early Espresso Ink above the tulips. I then scored the card base at 4 1/4″. I took the other 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base and scored it at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 6 3/8″. Using my Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut the center out of the card base. The 2 1/8″ & 6 3/8″ score lines are valley folds and the 4 1/4″ is a mountain fold. I adhered 2 panels of Abigail Rose DSP to the 2 side panels of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the scored & folded card base to the inside of the Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue only on the 2 side panels, matching up the tops, bottoms and sides. I added a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies by the tulips.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the tulip stems and leaves from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the tulip images from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to the envelope flap which I colored some of the flowers using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card.

Stampin’ Up! let us know that some of the items in the new catalog will have higher prices when the catalog is launched on May 2.  The prices for all items that are carrying over will continue to be the current catalog prices through May 1.  So now is a great time to stock up on any favorites before the price increases happen in early May!  We have not been told any specifics on the amount that the prices will increase but we have been given a list of items that will increase in price with the new catalog.

Due to increased costs to produce these items, beginning May 2 new prices will be in effect within the following product categories:

  • Cardstock
  • Designer Series Paper
  • Specialty Paper
  • Notecards and Envelopes
  • Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads and Refills
  • Stampin’ Blends
  • Stampin’ Write Markers
  • Select Specialty Inks
  • Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines and plates
  • Embossing Folders
  • Punches
  • Take Your Pick products
  • Storage
  • Clear Blocks
  • Select tools
  • Select adhesives
  • Select stamp sets
  • Paper Pumpkin

To see the updated pricing, check the new 2023–2024 Annual Catalog.  I’ll be mailing out the catalogs in mid-April to my ordering customers so take a peek when it arrives in your mailbox.  So, the good news is that you will have time to order any last-minute items before the new pricing starts once you see the upcoming catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi-Fold Card

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off. I finally have a day off again. It was a long week of working every day. I’m not sure what I’m going to do first.

Today’s card is another one we made at our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. This card was designed by one of my team members Darryl Robbins. I made a couple changes from his card doing my own thing. Some of the items uses are unavailable right now but should be back in stock by mid-April. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle along with the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Sentimental Parks Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

To start, I adhered the scored & folded panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to a Petal Pink card front, adhering the folded edge to the back of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Petal Pink panel to the front of a Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut out 2 of the dotted circle dies from the Irresistible Blooms Die from panels of Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper and Vellum Paper. I sniped the circle away from the panel using my Paper Snips. I adhered the die cut pieces to the DSP card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I folded the bottom right corner of the Hello Irresistible DSP up and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Sentimental Parks Dies. I cut the sentiment mat from a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Sentiment Parks Dies. I embossed the mat using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the mat to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Loose Frosted Dots and a Dragonfly Trinket to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Under the DSP flap, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the splotch image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the sentiment. I adhered a die cut flower from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the Petal Pink panel using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock towards the right of the panel. I cut the long lines and dot die from the Irresistible Blooms Die from a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. I adhered the die cut to the Very Vanilla panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered die cut flowers from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the side of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaves from the Hello Irresistible DSP under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Hello Irresistible DSP mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Multi Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible 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! Marigold Moments for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow, I’m hoping it’s a little busier than it’s been. Last night I went to a fundraiser for the Meghan Rose Bradley Foundation. It’s a fundraiser for pediatric brain cancer. It was ladies’ night out, and I went with everyone from the Hungry Hound Dog Boutique where I work part time. The theme was Princesses in Pajamas. The owner decided that there were going to be too many princesses and they needed a villain. I thought I’d share a picture of all of us that went. We had such a good time and won a prize for best group dressed up, and the fundraiser was a huge success.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Bundle, Something Fancy Dies, Vellum Basics Paper and Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. It will be much easier to watch the video to see how I folded the card since it’s hard to explain.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by placing the triangle template in the top left corner of my card and very lightly drew a line with a pencil. I scored on the pencil line back and forth a couple times to give it a good score. I folded the card base back and forth then opened the card and folded the center score line as a mountain fold and the 2 triangle score lines as valley folds.

I used this triangle for my template for the DSP and card base.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I placed the triangle template on my Vellum Basic Paper in the top left corner and again lightly drew a line with a pencil. I cut along the line using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the Vellum to the Highland Heather card front. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large, detailed marigold image from the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis Ink. I stamped the large solid marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink over the detailed image. I stamped the larger stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink and the details inside the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the images out using the Marigold Moments Dies. I adhered the stem to the flowers using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower along the diagonal card top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using the White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the stems with a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and a Dragonfly Trinket.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside I cut a panel of Subtle DSP the same way that I did the Vellum, except I put the triangle template on the bottom left corner and turned it upside down. I drew a light line using my pencil and cut on the pencil line. I adhered the DSP to the top inside of the card front. For the DSP triangle I cut 1/2″ off the 2 3/4″ side. I adhered the triangle to the top inside triangle of the card base. I cut the Basic White panel the same as I did the Vellum panel. I cut 1/2″ off the 2 3/4″ side of the triangle piece and adhered it to the triangle on the card base bottom. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the smaller stem and leaf images from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink 3 times. I stamped the details on the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the small detail marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Bermuda Bay, Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the small solid marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Pool Party, Highland Heather and Blushing Bride Inks over the detailed images. I cut all the images out using the Marigold Moments Dies. I adhered the stems to the flowers using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I arranged the flowers and leaves on the small white triangle that popped up when you open the card.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the cut panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Mint Macaron Ink and the details in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the detailed flower image in Orchid Oasis Ink and the solid flower image in Highland Heather Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the envelope front and the details in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the detail flower image in Orchid Oasis Ink and the solid flower image in Highland Heather Ink. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.
