Last Day for Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day, and you were either spoiled or got spoiled by your family. I spent part of my day cutting up my paper shares, then I took a break and went outside to garden for a ‘short time’. That short time ended up being over 4 hours, but I was able to get all my herbs, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and flowers that I bought into pots. I also trimmed up my butterfly bushes and a few others around. I came back in to cut up some more paper and ribbon. My husband and daughter made me a wonderful dinner and an amazing desert that Amy Koenders was nice enough to share a recipe with me and my daughter.

Great New Feature – Get Notified When Products Are Back in Stock!


Stampin’ Up! has been asked many times “Can I get notified when an unavailable item comes back in stock?” I’m excited to tell you that you will now be able to do just that! 

If a product is currently unavailable, a box will appear above the product detail where you can request an email notification when/if the product returns. This feature will be available to customers, and guests. If you are logged in as a customer, your email address will automatically populate, with the option to edit it if needed. Guests will need to enter their email address manually. 
After your preferred email address is entered, check the box to agree to receive the notification email, then click Notify Me. You will then receive a confirmation email that includes the item number and name of the product you signed up to be notified about. If you change your mind, you can click the unsubscribe button in the confirmation email and it will unsubscribe you only from that specific product notification.
When/if the product becomes available, you will receive a single email notifying you it’s back in stock. The email will include the item number, name, and an image of the product. If the product sells out again, you will need to sign up again to be notified when/if it returns.
We hope this new feature makes shopping even more convenient for you!

Latest on Cloud Cover Ink Pad

Stampin’ Up! let us know the issue with our Cloud Cover ink is complex. An unforeseen, rare chemical reaction occurs when the ink is paired with the firm foam used in our Classic Stampin’ Pads, resulting in a shift in the color of the ink.
While there’s no silver lining to reverse the chemistry causing the fluctuation in color, we have identified several ways to make the most of the situation.

Alternative Options:

  • Because the actual Cloud Cover ink formula performs well before it’s added to a foam pad, all is not lost for customers who want to get in on the inky action. Our Stampin’ Spots are made using felt, and we haven’t seen this unpredictable chemical response occur with this material.
  • At the time the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog is available to order, we will offer the Stampin’ Spot Assortment Pack (166716), which will include the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot! This product will be available to customers and demonstrators.
  • The Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot won’t be sold outside of the assortment pack, but you can pair the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (165279) with the Uninked Stampin’ Spots (141822) to achieve a consistently accurate hue. Plus, the ink refill is a very technique-friendly product in general, making it a great core supply to have on hand!
  • While these solutions don’t provide a full-sized ink pad option, they do give access to the ink.
  • You can also ink your stamps using the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Write Marker, available in the
    2025–2027 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers (165292) collection. This technique works especially well with cling stamps.

Get Notified When Products Are Back in Stock!


Stampin’ Up! has been asked many times “Can I get notified when an unavailable item comes back in stock?” I’m excited to tell you that you will now be able to do just that! 

If a product is currently unavailable, a box will appear above the product detail where you can request an email notification when/if the product returns. This feature will be available to customers, and guests. If you are logged in as a customer, your email address will automatically populate, with the option to edit it if needed. Guests will need to enter their email address manually. 
After your preferred email address is entered, check the box to agree to receive the notification email, then click Notify Me. You will then receive a confirmation email that includes the item number and name of the product you signed up to be notified about. If you change your mind, you can click the unsubscribe button in the confirmation email and it will unsubscribe you only from that specific product notification.
When/if the product becomes available, you will receive a single email notifying you it’s back in stock. The email will include the item number, name, and an image of the product. If the product sells out again, you will need to sign up again to be notified when/if it returns.
We hope this new feature makes shopping even more convenient for you!

Latest on Cloud Cover Ink Pad

Stampin’ Up! let us know the issue with our Cloud Cover ink is complex. An unforeseen, rare chemical reaction occurs when the ink is paired with the firm foam used in our Classic Stampin’ Pads, resulting in a shift in the color of the ink.
While there’s no silver lining to reverse the chemistry causing the fluctuation in color, we have identified several ways to make the most of the situation.

Alternative Options:

  • Because the actual Cloud Cover ink formula performs well before it’s added to a foam pad, all is not lost for customers who want to get in on the inky action. Our Stampin’ Spots are made using felt, and we haven’t seen this unpredictable chemical response occur with this material.
  • At the time the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog is available to order, we will offer the Stampin’ Spot Assortment Pack (166716), which will include the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot! This product will be available to customers and demonstrators.
  • The Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot won’t be sold outside of the assortment pack, but you can pair the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (165279) with the Uninked Stampin’ Spots (141822) to achieve a consistently accurate hue. Plus, the ink refill is a very technique-friendly product in general, making it a great core supply to have on hand!
  • While these solutions don’t provide a full-sized ink pad option, they do give access to the ink.
  • You can also ink your stamps using the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Write Marker, available in the
    2025–2027 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers (165292) collection. This technique works especially well with cling stamps.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us!

Stampin’ Up! Feathered Fun

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends and Happy Earth Day!!! I hope your week has started off well. After a cold day here again in NJ yesterday we’re back in the 70’s the rest of the week. Maybe I’ll finally want to go outside to do more gardening.

I played with a new stamp set coming on May 6th for today’s card along with using the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and doing the emboss resist technique. Here’s my card for today.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the branch, reverse side of the leaves and reverse side of the bird images from the Feathered Fun stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the images with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Starting on the bottom of the panel, add Timid Tiger Ink using a Blending Brush. On the center of the panel, add Strawberry Slush Ink with a Blending Brush, overlapping the Timid Tiger to blend the colors. Add Secret Sea Ink on the top of the panel using a Blending Brush, getting a little darker towards the top. Using a small paintbrush dipped in water, splatter drops of water on the panel and let it dry completely.

Stampin' Up! Feathered Fun It's Okay 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the top of a panel of Secret Sea, stamp the sentiment from the It’s Okay stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the artwork panel using the 3rd largest Textured Notes Dies. Adhere the artwork panel to the sentiment panel using Stampin’ Seal. Add Wink of Stella to the artwork panel, by tapping it on your finger or a Bone Folder to add splatters.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2025-2026 Annual CatalogTwo-Tone Cardstock Share along with the upcoming May Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 6th and 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 May 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Catalog and Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $65.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

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!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

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

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. For many this was a short week, I think we need more of these.

I have a CAS masculine card for you today and I played with some products from the annual catalog. Masculine cards are always a struggle for me, and I try to make them often, so I have them on hand when I need them. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Bundle along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Wild Fern Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I played along with The Paper Players Clean-and-Simple Challenge #725.

My design is from TGIF Sketch Challenge #512.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Mask off a square on a panel of Country Woods DSP using sticky note tape. Using a Blending Brush, add Balmy Blue Ink and a little Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the Basic Beige card base together between the 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″ score lines to make a book fold card. Adhere the 2 panels of Country Woods DSP to the front of the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Ink up the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set using Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Markers. Give the stamp a little huff to reactivate the ink and stamp the image on a panel of Basic White. Cut the image out using the Loveliest Tree Dies. Adhere the tree image to the colored area of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment below the tree using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Wild Fern stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Ink up the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set using Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Markers. Stamp the image on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' UP! Loveliest Tree CAS Book Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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