Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the holiday weekend.

Today I have a Christmas card for you playing with an Online Exclusive Bundle. I know it’s only August, but when you make your own cards, you have to start early to get them done. I usually over make my holiday cards so I have a few to carry over to the next year. We’ll see what happens this year.  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! Sophisticated Sled Wreath 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sophisticated Sled Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper, Take a Bow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (available Sept 4), and Hearts & Hugs Dies for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Sketch Time Challenge #342.

Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. I’ll be working tomorrow, but I do have off on Sunday.

I’m a little late today with posting, it’s been a crazy week for me, and I didn’t get my card finished until a little while ago. This is one of those cards that I kept making mistakes and I was determined to finish the card properly. After I was all finished and loving how my card turned out, I realized the stamp set I used is no longer available in the Online Exclusive store in English. You can still purchase it in French if you just want to use the images. but you are able to make the truck part of the design using the Truck Builder Punch which is still available. I don’t usually post cards if items are not available, but with a little tweaking you can use this design for anything.  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! Trucking Along Joy Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Scenic Pumpkin Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set, Trucking Along Builder Punch, Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper which are all Online Exclusive products. I also used the Spotlight On Nature Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Sweetly Scripted & CTMH Products Available to Everyone Now!

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well.

Today’s card is one that we made last Tuesday at our stamping studio for mystery stamping. I had cut a few panels of the DSP wrong, but I was able to salvage them and make cards. One of them I had posted on Saturday, and I have 1 more to post in the next week. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Sweetly Scripted 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sweetly Scripted Cling Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Cling Stamp Set (available Sept 4th), for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Sweetly Scripted 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP using the Paper Trimmer. Adhere the 2 panels of Splendid Autumn DSP to the top and bottom of a Basic White mat, leaving the space in between, using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Sweetly Scripted 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink through the center of the 2 panels. Adhere the layered panel to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Sweetly Scripted 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Add a Faux Glass Dot (available Sept 4th) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Sweetly Scripted 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the tree ring image from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, on the envelope front. Stamp the leaf image from the Autumn Expressions stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink over the tree ring image. Adhered a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Greetings

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. Last I saw, it’s supposed to be a rainy one here in NJ.

On Tuesday we had out monthly Stamping Studio where we do some Mystery stamping. I was having a real issue with what we were supposed to do, and I cut up multiple pieces of DSP. I didn’t want to waste it, so I made today’s card with one of the miscut pieces. I played with an Online Exclusive set for my card today. 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

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Everyday Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by cutting a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP into sections using the Paper Trimmer. I cut the panel on a diagonal from corner to corner then cut the 2 pieces in half. Adhere the pieces of DSP to a Moody Mauve mat using Liquid Glue leaving a small space between them. Adhere the layered panel to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Moody Mauve, stamp the sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment into a banner using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a few of the Woven Golden Leaves (available Sept 4th) using Glue Dots on the bottom of the card front. Adhere the sentiment over the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a small bow using the Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ Satin Ribbon (available Sept 4). Adhered the bow next to the sentiment on top of the leaves using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic Whie. Adhere 2 strips of Splendid Autumn DSP to the top and bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic Whtie panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the sentiments from the Everyday Greetings stamp set in the envelope front in Cherry Cobbler Ink. Adhered a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope everyone is getting ready for the weekend and starting to make plans.

Before I get started on my card today, I wanted to share a picture I took the other day. 2 years ago, yesterday I brought home this sassy little girl, and she just brightens up every day for me. In April we rescued Gidget, Cora’s little sister, who will be 6 months old on Monday, and they are inseparable. The best decision we could have made.

Today’s card is made with all Online Exclusive products again. It’s a super quick fun fold that you can make multiple of for all your Christmas 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! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Bundle along with the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Fold card base in half on the 5 1/2″ score line. Fold the card base back on the 4 1/4″ score line. Adhere the card base together using Liquid Glue on the inside on the 1 1/4″ section.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere 2 panels of Season of Green & Gold DSP to Pecan Pie mats sing Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panels to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment and a panel of Garden Green using the Greetings of the Season Dies. Add a Glue Dot to hold the die cut tags together, line up the holes and thread a piece of Gold 1/8″ Trim through and tie a bow. Adhere the layered tags to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Adhere 2 strips of Season of Green & Gold DSP to either side of the panel. Adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Adhere a strip of Season of Green & Gold DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend.

I did the Double Time Stamping technique and Spotlight technique for today’s card. I tried to make today’s card using just Stamps, Ink and Paper, but I couldn’t control myself with adding embellishments. 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! Magnolia Mood Double Time 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Magnolia Mood Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Put a small amount of Stampin’ Seal on the back of the small Basic White panel and press it against your jeans a couple times to reduce the stickiness. Adhere it to the center of the Basic White panel. Stamp the sentient from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of the panel. Stamp the large flower image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the top and bottom of the panel, making sure to be stamping on both panels.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Remove the smaller panel and color the flower images using Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the colored panel to a Lemon Lolly mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the larger Basic White panel, lining up the flower images on both panels. Adhere the layered panel to a Lemon Lolly mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the layered panel to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Lemon Lolly Tinsel Gems.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the small flower image and the leaf image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set on the top and bottom of the panel in Gray Granite Ink. Color the images using Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam Card base.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the small flower image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set on the envelope front in Gray Granite Ink. Stamp the flower bud image and leaf image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope flap. Color the images using Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia in Purple

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. Today’s the DAY!!! The Designer Series Paper Sale has started. You’ve got those Bonus Days Coupons from July that you earned, so this is a great time to stock up on that DSP and save.

I played with the Online Exclusive Suite Collection today. My upline Jaimie is doing a new weekly creative challenge with us and I just happened to have purple flowers ready to go. She rolled dice to come up with 3 numbers that each have colors, elements and theme. This week was purple, embossing folder and thank you. 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! Simply Zinnia in Purple 1 creativestampimgdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. I also used the Unbounded Love Dies and the new Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper that will be available in the September – December 2024 Mini Catalog for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia in Purple 2 creativestampimgdesigns.com

Emboss a Nests of Winter DSP card front using the Zinnia EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Berry Burst mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to a Petunia Pop card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Using the Simply Zinnia Dies cut 3 flowers each from Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Petunia Pop. Cut 2 leaves, 2 stems and 2 sprigs from Granny Apple Green. Cut 3 flower centers from Berry Burst and 3 detailed flower centers from Lemon Lolly. Cut 2 of the star flowers from Berry Burst. Cut 2 of the flower buds from Petunia Pop. Adhere the flowers together using Glue Dots and Liquid Glue. Adhere the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the leaves under the flowers using Glue Dots. Adhere the flower bud to the stem using a Glue Dot and adhere it under the flowers using Liquid Glue. Adhere the sprigs using Liquid Glue and the star flowers to the sprigs using Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Latte Love with Panels

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a stormy one here in NJ. We had an outdoor concert Saturday night to go to. We figured we’d take a chance, maybe it wouldn’t be raining where we were going. I was wrong!! We sat in the card waiting for it to let up, the concert first got delayed an hour. When it got closer to the time the doors were opening, I said no way, the lightning got worse, so we headed home. After delaying it another 1/2 hour and more storms rolling through, they decided to postpone it at 10pm. At least we’re not out the money now.

I played with an Online Exclusive Suite Collection for today’s card. I don’t drink coffee, but I know people that do, and I like to make my cards geared to what the recipients like. Besides, this could be hot cocoa or tea. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love with Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut the image out using the Latte Love Dies. Adhere a piece of Natural 3/8″ Polka Dot Trim to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the cup over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots to the card front.
