Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses in Pink

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did you watch the game last night? My husband went out and was watching the game at a friend’s house. Since it wasn’t on, I missed all the commercials which is my favorite part.

I have a quick card for you today using the Watercolor Pencils. I do like coloring with them to give my cards a different look. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set and Sale-a-bration Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Most Adored DSP card front to a Flirty Flamingo card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. 

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I colored the image using Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green Watercolor Pencils. I lightly went over the image to blend the color with the Water Painter. I adhered the artwork to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered a piece of silver Simply Elegant Trim to the back of the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few silver Festive Pearls to the card front.

On he inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the small rose image and the large leaf image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the panel. I colored the images using Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green Watercolor Pencils. I lightly went over the images with the Water Painter to blend the color. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pebbled Path mat then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green Watercolor Pencils and lightly going over the image with my Water Painter. I adhered a panel of Most Adored DSP to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   T9JKA3XQ

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

*********************************************************************************************************

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.

********************************************************************************************************

“Stuck on You Valentine” Ordering Special!

For all orders of $50 or greater (before shipping and taxes) that have my Current Host Code T9JKA3XQ applied or for individual orders of $150 or greater placed through me between now and Wednesday, February 14, you’ll get your choice of a free adhesive! You MUST remember to add my Host Code to your orders.

This can be anything that Stampin’ Up! sells that could be used as an adhesive!  And for the adhesives that are $5 or under, two packs will equal one choice (see the items with the (2) on the list below) so if you select those, you’ll get double, YAY!!

The adhesive will be in addition to the normal thank you gift that I order for you!!  Plus, since your order will be over $50, you’ll earn Sale-A-Bration item(s) too.  A big double YAY for more free goodies!!

***Please note, if your order is over $150, do not apply a host code.  If you apply a host code to your order, it will take away your host benefits and we don’t want that!  But don’t worry, you’ll still be eligible for the free gift and free adhesive offer!

Here is a list of the adhesives that you can pick from:

  • Adhesive Sheets
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive
  • Stampin’ Seal
  • Stampin’ Seal Refill
  • Stampin’ Seal +
  • Stampin’ Seal + Refill
  • Fine-Tip Glue Pen
  • Silicone Craft Sheet (even though it’s not an adhesive…it is an awesome tool for adhesives!)
  • Foam Adhesive Strips
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Black Stampin’ Dimensionals Combo Pack
  • Foam Adhesive Sheets
  • Cling Adhesive
  • Heat & Stick Powder

I’ll be placing the order for the adhesives with my host orders on February 16th, so please be sure to send your selections right away when you order…otherwise I’ll pick one for you and send it out with your thank you gift!

*With Stampin’ Up!’s new backorder policy where numbers are turned off for ordering if they go on backorder, if the adhesive that you pick is turned off for ordering when I place the order on the 16th, I’ll order Stampin’ Dimensionals for you instead.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Latte Love Dies, I cut the coffee carafe and French press holder from panels of Rose Gold Specialty Paper. I cut the ‘glass’ carafes from a Window Sheet and the ‘coffee’ from panels of Early Espresso and Pecan Pie. I adhered the holders to the carafes using Adhesive Sheets before I cut them. I adhered the carafe and French press to the card front using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the coffee cup image from the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the heart swirl image from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper first, on the panel of Basic White. I stamped the sentiment from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the swirl image. I cut the sentiment, coffee cup images and 2 espresso cups using the Latte Love Dies. I cut the coffee beans from a panel of A Little Latte DSP. I adhered the coffee beans to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the cups and sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Latte Love stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the coffee cup image from the Latte Love stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Early Espresso Ink and colored the image in Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the coffee image in the cup in Pecan Pie Ink and the steam image in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a few more of the die cut coffee beans to the bottom of the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

I’m offering a little ordering special for Valentine’s Day again this year!  I call it my “Stuck on You Valentine” ordering special!

For all orders of $50 or greater (before shipping and taxes) that have my Current Host Code T9JKA3XQ applied or for individual orders of $150 or greater placed through me between now and Wednesday, February 14, you’ll get your choice of a free adhesive! You MUST remember to add my Host Code to your orders.

This can be anything that Stampin’ Up! sells that could be used as an adhesive!  And for the adhesives that are $5 or under, two packs will equal one choice (see the items with the (2) on the list below) so if you select those, you’ll get double, YAY!!

The adhesive will be in addition to the normal thank you gift that I order for you!!  Plus, since your order will be over $50, you’ll earn Sale-A-Bration item(s) too.  A big double YAY for more free goodies!!

***Please note, if your order is over $150, do not apply a host code.  If you apply a host code to your order, it will take away your host benefits and we don’t want that!  But don’t worry, you’ll still be eligible for the free gift and free adhesive offer!

Here is a list of the adhesives that you can pick from:

  • Adhesive Sheets
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive
  • Stampin’ Seal
  • Stampin’ Seal Refill
  • Stampin’ Seal +
  • Stampin’ Seal + Refill

  • Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Black Stampin’ Dimensionals Combo Pack
  • Foam Adhesive Sheets
  • Cling Adhesive
  • Heat & Stick Powder

I’ll be placing the order for the adhesives with my host orders on February 16th, so please be sure to send your selections right away when you order…otherwise I’ll pick one for you and send it out with your thank you gift!

*With Stampin’ Up!’s new backorder policy where numbers are turned off for ordering if they go on backorder, if the adhesive that you pick is turned off for ordering when I place the order on the 16th, I’ll order Stampin’ Dimensionals for you instead.

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! Blueberry Bunches Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week and the last few days of January. We were talking about it over the weekend at work and how the month of January just flew by and how January is usually a slow month and drags. Did everyone have a nice weekend? We have not seen the sun here in NJ in quite some time, lots of rain though.

Today I have a quick card playing with products from the January-April Mini Catalog, and a Sale-a-bration item. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches Cling Stamp Set along with the Everyday Details Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies and Sale-a-bration Most Adored Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #620.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Blueberry Bushel. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest circle die from the Everyday Details Dies. I adhered a panel of Most Adored DSP to the Blueberry Bushel mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the larger blueberry image from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the largest circle die from the Everyday Details Dies. I colored the image using Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the sentiment to the card front overlapping the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the smallest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a scrap of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. I embossed the circle using the Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the smaller blueberry image from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller blueberry image from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Most Adored DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow. I’m hoping to get some time to relax a bit since these past couple weekends were so hectic.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. When I went on our retreat in November, one of my team members Susan Stanley had this card for us to make. I actually have 2 versions that I made in different colors and different patterns of DSP.  I liked it so much I used it for my Stamp Camp Card Class on Tuesday night. The ladies loved it. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

For both cards I used the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Meandering Meadow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Tailor Made Tags Dies and Stampin’ Up! Through The Year Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 2 creativestampingdesigns.com
Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering panels of Meandering Meadow DSP to Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green mats using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Layered panels to Blueberry Bushel and Melon Mambo card bases using Liquid Glue. On panels of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Blueberry Bushel and Melon Mambo Inks. Using the 2nd largest Tailor Made Tags Dies, I cut the sentiment partway through. I moved the die up and fit it in the stitches and cut from the other direction to make a smaller tag. I threaded a piece of Linen Thread through the top of the tag and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the small calendars using Stampin’ Dimemsionals.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 4 creativestampingdesigns.com
Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I folded the smaller panel of Blueberry Bushel and Melon Mambo cardstock in half as a mountain fold. I folded the 2 ends as valley folds. I adhered the folded panel to the inside of the card base with the mountain fold up and Tear & Tape on the valley folds, to the bottom of the card base. I added a few Assorted Glossy Dots to the tag.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base, I stamped the sentiment from Through The Year stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. For the Melon Mambo card, I stamped the sentiment from Through The Year stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using All That Dies and adhered it to the back of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, I decorated Basic White Medium Envelopes. I stamped the floral image from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using Granny Appl Green, Blueberry Bushel and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered panels of Meandering Meadow DSP to the envelope flaps.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel Calendar 8 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 it. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my YouTube Channel Here.

*********************************************************************************************************

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! Enduring Beauty for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? When you read this post, will have been in my kitchen baking for a couple hours already. I got all my cookie doughs mixed and put in the fridge yesterday, today and tomorrow are my baking days.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty Bundle along with the new Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Bundle and Sale-A-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today. All these items will be available starting January 4 from the January – April 2024 Mini Catalog.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #773.

I also joined in with the Flower Challenge #87.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering panels of Flight & Airy DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, I placed #1 mask over the floral image and added Gorgeous Grape Ink using my Blending Brush. I placed #2 mask over the image and added Soft Sea Foam Ink using my Blending Brush. I placed #4 mask over the image and added Gorgeous Grape Ink again using my Blending Brush to highlight the flower. Last I placed #4 mask over the image and added Soft Sea Foam Ink again using my Blending Brush to highlight the leaves. I cut the image out using the Enduring Beauty Dies. From a panel of Soft Sea Foam, I cut some of the leaves and flowers using the Enduring Beauty Dies.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the 2nd largest Perennial Postage Dies. I added some Boho Blue Ink to the die cut panel using my Blending Brush. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set in Boho Blue Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the panel to the card base using Liquid Glue only on the left side. I added the colored floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the die cut leaves and flowers behind the floral image. I added a few Brushed Brash Butterflies and Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I cut another panel of Basic White using the 2nd largest Perennial Postage Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Boho Blue on the die cut panel. I stamped just the top of the flower image from the Enduring Beauty stamp set in Basic Gray on the bottom of the panel. I lined up the Basic White panel to the back of the card front panel and closed the back onto it to make sure they lined up and you couldn’t see it when the card was closed.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the top of the large flower image from the Enduring Beauty stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. Using the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, I colored the image the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope flap.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 15th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6
  • Poetic Expressions – 6
  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons or Baker’s Twine.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is everyone getting ready for the weekend? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and I’m sure it will be another busy day. Everyone will be running in for lights and decorations to get their houses and trees decorated.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Bundle from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog along with the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper from the upcoming January-February 2024 Sale-a-bration and the Wanted To Say Dies for my card today. The Bundle and DSP will both be available starting January 4, 2024.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the left side of the card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 panels of Softly Stippled DSP to Real Red mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the Pebbled Path card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut small notches on the top and bottom of the 1 1/4″ side panel using Paper Snips. I wrapped a piece of Pebbled Path Jute Trim from the 2023-2025 Jute Trim pack around the edge and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Wanted To Say Dies, I cut the sentiment out from a panel of Real Red and the sentiment mat from a panel of Pebbled Path. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the rose image from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set. I inked the stamp using Real Red and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write Markers, gave it a little huff and stamped the image. I cut the rose using the Stippled Roses Dies. I cut the leaves out of a panel of Granny Apple Green using the Stippled Roses Dies. I used my Granny Apple Green marker and colored the leaf veins. I adhered the vein pieces back into the leaves using Tear & Tape. I adhered the rose using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves with the Tear & Tape I adhered to hold the veins in place. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set on the bottom of the panel, inking it up the same way I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set on the envelope front, inking it up the same way I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. 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. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my YouTube Channel Here.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   SMAQYYMJ

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

*********************************************************************************************************

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.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 15th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6
  • Poetic Expressions – 6
  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons or Baker’s Twine.

  • 1/4″ Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon
  • 3/8″ Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon
  • Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack
  • 1/8″ Gold Faux Leather Trim

If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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! Around The Bend & 24 Hour Sale Going On

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and heading to the weekend. It’s finally cooled off a bit here in NJ, the humidity is still up there, but the temps are only in the 80’s.

Today I have an easy card for you that uses mostly dies and just a little stamping. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Gorgeously Made Dies, Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Online Exclusives Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Challenge #313, Summer Days.

I also played along with Global Design Project Theme Challenge #403, Stripes.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the Layered panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the sides of a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the die cut DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, using my Balmy Blue and Grann Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers, I colored the panel with the light on the top and dark on the bottom. Using the Gorgeously Made Dies, I cut the 2 leafy dies from the colored panel of Basic White. I adhered the Balmy Blue die cut using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Granny Apple Green leafy die using Stamping Dimensionals. I tied a small bot using the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon and adhered it to the stems using a Glue Dot. I added a few Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the corner leaf image from Around The Bend stamp set in granny Apple Green Ink on the top corner. I adhered the panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP that I cut off from the card front panel to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the corner leaf image from the Around The Bend stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.
