Good Thursday morning stamping friends and 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 Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. 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 using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Embossed 1 creativestampingdeisngs.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Bundle along with the Damasks Designs 3D Embossing Folder, Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our theme this week. I did Dry and Heat Embossing on my card.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Embossed 2 creativestampingdeisngs.com

Emboss a panel of Basic Beige with the Damasks Designs EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Calypso Coral mat. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Embossed 3 creativestampingdeisngs.com

Adhere a panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Calypso Coral mat. Adhere the layered panel to the embossed card front, vertically. Adhere another panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Calypso Coral mat. Wrap a piece of 3/8″ Basic Beige Classic Ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to the card front, horizontally overlapping the vertical panel.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Embossed 4 creativestampingdeisngs.com

Using the Beautiful Motifs Dies, cut 2 flowers from a panel of Old Olive, 2 flowers from a panel of Calypso Coral and the leaf die from a panel of Mossy Meadow. Cut the Calypso Coral flowers off the stems and adhere them to the Old Olive stems over the flowers. Create a small bouquet and adhere it just under the bow. On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Photopolymer Stamp set in Versamarik Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Copper Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Cut a panel of Calypso Coral using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the Calypso Coral mat then adhere it to the card front, over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Pressed Flowers Motifs to the sentiment.

Stamp the sentiment from Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the swish image from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Stamp the floral image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday!! Happy August!! I’m not sure where July went, but it’s gone already. I got to see the new September – December 2025 Mini Catalog and September Online Exclusives on Wednesday. I cannot wait to share them with you. I hope you love everything as much as I do. I’m going to start getting my Designer Series Paper, Ribbon and Embellishment Shares together and I will be opening them up soon to order. I will also be able to order the catalogs next week. If you have placed an order with me and are a customer of mine, they will be in the mail just as soon as I receive them. If you’d like to receive a catalog from me all you need to do is place an order in my Online Store and you’ll be on the mailing list to receive one.

I played with some Online Exclusives for today’s card. I just love creating with this suite, the DSP is beautiful and makes beautiful cards all on its own. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears Bundle along with the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the large outline pear and stem/leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears Photopolymer Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink 3 times each. Ink up the large solid pear image from the Perfectly Pears stamp set with Darling Duckling Ink. Using the Sponge Dauber, add Old Olive Ink around the edges of the image, stamp the solid pear over the outline pear image. Stamp the solid leaf image from the Perfectly Pears stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined leaf images. Cut the pears and stem/leaf images out using the Perfectly Pears Dies.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Perfectly Pears Dies, cut 4 of the long leaf dies from a panel of Old Olive, and the flower images from a panel of Painterly Pears DSP. Adhere a panel of Painterly Pears DSP to the front of the card base. Adhere the long leaf die cuts to the front panel with Glue Dots. Adhere the die cut pears over the leaves with Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the flowers under the pears with Glue Dots. Add a few Low-Profile Sparkle Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Perfectly Pears stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the panel of Basic White. Fussy cut the sentiment with Paper Snips. Using the Perfectly Pears Dies cut a panel of Petal Pink using the lattice die.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a small panel of Painterly Pears DSP to the left side of the inside card base. Adhere a panel of Painterly Pears DSP to the back inside of the card base. Adhere the lattice die cut and the sentiment on top of it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the small, outlined pear image from the Perfectly Pears stamp set in Old Olive Ink. Ink the small, solid pear image from the Perfectly Pears stamp set in Darling Duckling Ink and using the Sponge Dauber add Old Olive Ink around the edges. Stamp the image over the outlined pear image. Color the leaves using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base, behind the front panel.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the small pear image from the Perfectly Pears stamp set on the envelope front the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Painterly Pears DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Fold

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday!! Are you getting ready for the weekend? I was finally able to get outside and do some weeding and dead heading to my flowers yesterday. I spent about 5 hours outside and only made a small dent. I decided it was time to call it quits when it was 85 with a real feel of 100, and it was going up to over 90. This morning I’m heading out really early again to do the same in my backyard gardens. It’s supposed to be in the upper 90’s today. Hopefully I won’t be out there as long.

I played with some Online Exclusives for today’s card.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Card 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Centerpiece Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Pattern of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set, Country Woods Designer Series Paper and Textured Notes Dies for my card today.

I got this template from Mary Deatherage which made assembling the card super easy.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Card 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Score and fold the Gray Granite card base at 1″, 2″, 3″ & 4″. Add the 3 panels of Country Woods DSP to the center 3 sections. Add Tear & Tape on the 1st scored section (see the image above). Adhere the panel of Country Woods DSP to the larger section of the card base. Adhere the first section to the back panel making a cube.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Card 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the succulent image from the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink towards the bottom of the Basic White panel. Color the image with Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the sentiment from Pattern of Friendship stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the top of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Card 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the 2nd largest Textured Notes Dies, cut a panel of Gray Granite. Adhere the artwork to the center of the die cut panel. Adhere the layered panel to the tower section of the card base using adhesive only on a small section on the back left of the panel. Add a few Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Card 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Pattern of Friendship stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the back of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Card 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish your card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the succulent image from the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the image with Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Sales Tax Holiday

Twelve states and Puerto Rico are having Back-to-School Sales Tax Holidays this year and some Stampin’ Up! items qualify for the tax break in those states!

The states with upcoming tax holidays are:  Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.  So if you live in one of those states or Puerto Rico, take a second to download the spreadsheet below and mark your calendar!

Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in your state in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday).  Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.

For those wondering about Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, those states have suspended the sales tax holiday this year.

Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

As of last night, July 14th, we’re at $170 of the $500 to be donated. We can Do this!!!

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

Stampin’ Up! Pattern of Friendship Birthday

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. Happy middle of July. This month is just flying by. How is everyone doing today? My area of NJ was under water with flash floods last night from all the rain. Even our major highways were flooded. We were ok by my house.

I played with one of my favorite packs of DSP for today’s card. I love the subtles so much. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Pattern of Friendship Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pattern of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Paper Tags Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Pattern of Friendship Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Pattern of Friendship stamp set on the panel of Wildflower Birthday DSP in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Adhere the embossed panel to the top of the Pretty in Pink panel with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Pattern of Friendship Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut the panel of Wildflower Birthday DSP down 2″ from the center top. Fold from the cut line to the corners to fan it open. Adhere the panel to the card front with Liquid Glue. Wrap a piece of 3/8″ Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Soft Sea Foam card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Pattern of Friendship Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere flowers, leaves and gold sprigs from the Wildflower Birthday DSP to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. Add a few Iridescent Foil Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Pattern of Friendship Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Paper Tags stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Basic White. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Adhere 2 strips of Wildflower Birthday DSP to either side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base.

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are all getting ready for the weekend.

I pulled out some older DSP for today’s card.  If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Year of Flowers Daisy Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Year of Flowers Cling Stamp Set along with Stylish Shapes Dies and the Splendid Autumn 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Year of Flowers Daisy Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Mossy Meadow to a Fresh Freesia card base with Stampin’ Seal. Score the 3 1/4″ x 5″ panel of Basic Beige at 1″ on the top and fold. Adhere the folded panel to the back of the Basic Beige panel with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Year of Flowers Daisy Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut 1″ off either side of the 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ panel of Splendid Autumn DSP with your Paper Trimmer. Adhere the 2 – 1″ pieces to the larger Basic Beige panel with Stampin’ Seal. Fold the flap down and adhere the center panel to the card flap with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the Basic Beige layered panel to the Mossy Meadow mat with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Year of Flowers Daisy Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the small panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from Year of Flowers stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a Linen Thread double bow and adhere it to the sentiment with a Glue Dot. Add a Muted Palette Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Year of Flowers Daisy Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from Year of Flowers stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. Stamp the daisy image from the Year of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel and color it with Fresh Freesia, Mossy Meadow and Bronze Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to the card base under the flap.

Stampin' Up! Year of Flowers Daisy Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the daisy image from the Year of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the image with Fresh Freesia, Mossy Meadow and Bronze Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.
