Stampin’ Up! Naughty & Nice for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday the 13th morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I’ve got a busy one coming up. I hope you are starting to make plans for the weekend.

Today’s card is one that we made on Tuesday night at our Stamping Studio during mystery stamping. All of our cards were similar, but also different. Jaimie gave us cardstock and DSP measurements and talked us through assembling the cards. I turned my card because I like the recipient to be able to stand the card up. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Naughty & Nice Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Take A Bow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Labeled with Love Dies and Stampin’ Up! Christmas Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by scoring the Granny Apple Green card base at 2 1/8″ on either side. Cut 1 of the 4″ X 4″ panels of Basic White in half at 2″.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 4 panels of Take A Bow DSP to the 2 Basic White mats. Adhere the 2 layered panels to the Granny Apple Green card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the outlined frame image from the Naughty & Nice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the sentiment from the Naughty & Nice stamp set inside the frame in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the hat & elf feet images from the Naughty & Nice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above and below the sentiment. Color the images using Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Labeled with Love Dies. Adhere the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the image. Add an Iridescent Faceted Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Christmas Labels stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the bow image from the Naughty & Nice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. Color the bow using Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere 2 strips of the Take a Bow DSP to either side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Naughty & Nice Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the bow image from the Naughty & Nice stamp set on the top of the envelope front in tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using real red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a strip of Take A Bow DSP to the bottom of the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I just wanted to take a quick moment to remember those that lost their lives on this day in 2001. I think we can all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing. Living so close to NYC I was extremely scared not knowing if anything else was going to happen.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #209 is Fall Florals. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Cheerful Daisies Dies and Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Cling Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the yellow daisies and gingham ribbon from the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 209.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Crushed Curry card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the small daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Cut the sentiment out using the Cheerful Daisies Dies.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Autumn 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a piece of the Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the die cut branches under the sentiment using Liquid Glue. Add a few Faux Glass Dots to the card front.

Randomly stamp the leaf image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink around the edges of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base.

Stampin’ Up! Festive Words Noel

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? Sunday was an absolutely gorgeous day here in NJ. It was a little chilly in the morning, I actually needed a jacket when I took the pup for a walk. I was able to get all my DSP and ribbon cut for my shares and with a lot of help from my friend and customer, I was able to get everything packed up and ready to go. So, if you ordered shares from me watch you mail.

I have a quick CAS card for you today playing with new sets from the Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog. 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! Festive Words Noel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Festive Words Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Bundle, Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper, Snowflake Sky 3D
Embossing Folder
and Stampin’ Up! Christmas Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #652.

Stampin' Up! Festive Words Noel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by stamping the hat/sentiment image from the Festive Words stamp set on a Basic White card front. I inked up the stamp using Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Markers. I gave it a little huff and stamped it on the card front. I embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF.

Stampin' Up! Festive Words Noel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Nests of Winter DSP to the bottom of the panel using Liquid Glue. Wrap a piece of Shaded Spruce 1/2″ Satin & Sheer Ribbon around the card front panel and adhere it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. Add Cherry Cobbler berries, from the Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries (an Online Exclusive), to the berries on the hat.

Stampin' Up! Festive Words Noel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the bough image from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Cherry Cobbler, Pool party and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. Adhere the bough to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Festive Words Noel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Christmas Labels stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the bough image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Festive Words Noel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the bough image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set on the envelope front. Color the image the same as the card. Adhere a panel of Nests of Winter DSP to the envelope flap.

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!

September-December 2024 Mini Catalog Paper and Ribbon Shares Open for Ordering

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on September 4th 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 September 9. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2024 Mini Catalog?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. 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, it would cost you over $135.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $60.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 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 – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6X6 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):

  • Nests of Winter (6)
  • Regal Winter (6)
  • Regal Distressed Patterns (3)
  • Reindeer Days (6)
  • Season of Elegance (6)
  • Sentimental Christmas (6)
  • Snowy Scenes (6)
  • A Little Bit Festive (3)
  • Festive Glimmer (3)
  • Splendid Autumn 6X6 (12)
  • Take A Bow 6X6 (4)

In all, you’ll receive 61 – 6” X 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $9.00 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″ X 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.

New Ribbon Share – $17.00 plus $9.00 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.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Blackberry Bliss & Gold Textured Ribbon
  • Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon
  • Natural Tones Linen Thread
  • Pool Party Pompom Ribbon
  • Real Red & White Baker’s Twine

  • Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon

Double Ribbon Share – $34.00 + $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon.

If you would like the Designer Series Paper Share & the Ribbon Share the cost will be:

$38.00 for a single share + $9.00 shipping

$76.00 for a double share + $9.00 shipping.
