Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? I’ve been MIA for the last couple days. We got home from vacation around 1am on Wednesday morning. Unfortunately, I came home with a sinus infection. Between that, jet lag and having to get right back to working, I was wiped out. I’m hoping to feel more like myself in the next couple days.

I just love playing with the stamp sets that come with stencils. I love the way the shading looks using the same color ink and being able to color so quickly. 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! Layers of Beauty Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Bundle along with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Greetings of The Season Dies for my card today.

I played along with Just Us Girls Challenge #750 – Stencil Week.

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Greetings

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Today we’re off to Animal Kingdom. We’ll be hopping to other parks today also since Animal Kingdom closes a little earlier than the others. I’m not sure which ones yet. I know we are having a late lunch at Yak & Yeti in Animal Kingdom and plan on going to see fireworks at Epcot. Yesterday was such a fun day at Hollywood Studios, I think that’s my favorite park. We had a wonderful dinner at Mama Melrose’s followed by the Fantasmic show.

Today’s card is the 2nd one I made with the One Sheet Wonder where I cut up a piece of 6 x 6 DSP to make 4 cards with it. 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.

Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder, shake off excess and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the artwork over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Birthday

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!! I hope you all have some fun plans in the works. It’s off to Hollywood Studios for us today, so it will be another long full day. We have reservations for dinner at Mama Mel Rosa’s and we scheduled a few lightening Lane passes already. Yesterday was a fun day in Universal Studios. My daughter loves Harry Potter and she really enjoyed that section.

Today’s card is the first of a set of 4 cards I made with a One Sheet Wonder. I took a piece of 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and cut it up to make 4 cards. 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! Unbounded Love Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Regal Flora Cling Stamp Set, Regal Winter Designer Series Paper and new Online Exclusive Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by embossing a Bubble Bath card front using the Happy Hibiscus EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Bubble Bath card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the first One Sheet Wonder card you are going to take one of the 3″ X 3″ pieces of Regal Winter DSP and cut it on an angle using the Paper Trimmer. Adhere the 2 triangles to 2 triangle Bubble Bath mats using Liquid Glue. Adhere the 2 triangle layered panels to a Berry Burst mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Berry Burst Ink.

Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful week. We stayed until Magic Kingdom closed on Wednesday and had such a great time going on rides, walking around, eating some great food and of course seeing the fabulous firework show. Yesterday we spent the whole day at Epcot. The wine and food festival is going on, so we tried some great food. I was able to get my caramel apple from Germany that’s made with Werther’s Caramels. I’ve waited 4 1/2 years to get another one of these apples. After having one here, I don’t want any others. One of my husband’s co-workers happen to be here in Disney and we met up with him and his wife for a delicious dinner in Canada, at Le Cellier Steakhouse. Today we’re off to Universal Studios. This will be the 1st time we’ve ever gone there, so I can’t wait to see what’s there.

Today’s card is one that we made at our monthly stamping studio last Tuesday for our mystery stamping portion of the meeting. Jaimie sent us all the measurements and talked us through the process of putting the card together. I decided I wanted to use some of the new Online Exclusive products that will be available starting November 5th. If you are interested in getting these products early, let me know, I’d be happy to talk to you about signing up to be a demonstrator and you can add them to your starter kit. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus Sneak Peek

Good Sunday afternoon stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I’m running here, there and everywhere trying to get everything together for vacation. I’m always amazed how I think I have everything I need, they I read the restrictions on what size containers you can fly with and it’s off to writing a quick list and running to the store again.

Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Tag Card

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ve got less than 3 weeks before I leave on a family vacation. I am so looking forward to the vacation and going away with my family.

Who out there likes Hot Apple Cider and Apple Cider Donuts? I always look forward to going apple picking in the fall not only for the fresh apples, but to get some apple cider donuts at the end. Anyone who knows me, knows I do not like donuts, and they don’t like me. There’s something about apple cider donuts that I love, and they like me too. Today’s card really got me in the mood for those donuts. This bundle from the mini catalog caught my eye the day I got to view the catalog and was the first one on my list to get. 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! More Than Autumn Tag 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Bundle along with the Greetings of the Season Dies and Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design came from Sunday Stamps Challenge #344 – Put A Bow On It.

Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn Tag 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal. Wrap a piece of the Pecan Pie 3/8″ Center Striped Ribbon around the layered panel and adhere it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Liquid Glue.

Using the largest Greetings of the Season Dies, cut a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink on the bottom of the tag. From a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP, cut the cup die from the More Than Autumn Dies. Stamp the center of the cup image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a scrap of Basic Beige. Stamp the apple image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo black Ink on the cup band. Color the image using Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the band using Paper Snips. Adhere the band to the die cut cup using Glue Dots. Adhere the cup to the tag using Glue Dots. Adhere the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the donut image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the Small Blending Brush, add Pecan Pie Ink to the donut. Wipe with a tissue to remove the excess ink from the embossed areas. Stamp the cinnamon stick image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie on the panel. Color the image using Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the donut and cinnamon stick using the More Than Autumn Dies. Adhere the donut to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the cinnamon stick using a tiny amount of Liquid Glue. Add a few Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots to the tag. Tie a small bow using the Pecan Pie 3/8″ Center Striped Ribbon and adhere it to the top of the tag using a Glue Dot.
