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.

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

On the inside, adhere 2 panels of Splendid Autumn DSP to the top and bottom a Basic White panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

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.

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? Yesterday wasn’t too bad here until after I got out of work. We had some pretty bad storms and flooding in my town. It was like someone turned a faucet on the way it was coming down.

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Greetings

Posted on by
4

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.

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 Name, Item # 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
  • Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon
  • 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.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you know that today is National Son & Daughter’s Day? I am blessed to have a son and daughter. They have always been the apple of my eye from when they were babies and even now when they are all grown up. I am so proud of them both and the beautiful adults they have become.

I have another quick card for you today using a bundle from the annual 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! Thoughtful Wishes CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! thoughtful Wishes Bundle along with the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Take one of the 3 3/4″ X 5″ panels of Basic White and score the card front at 3/4″, 7/8″ & 1″. Flip the card front over so that the score lines are the mountain facing up.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White card front to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the large leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. Color the image using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. Using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies, cut a panel of Old Olive using the stem/leaf die and a panel of Wild Wheat using the stem/flower die. Adhere the Old Olive die cut to the top of the Wild Wheat die cut using Liquid Glue. Adhere the die cut pieces to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a piece of Linen Thread around the stems and tie a bow. Add a few 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled path Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the large leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the side of the panel. Color the image using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat then to the Basic White Thick card base.

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by
6

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! Magnolia Mood Double Time 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day

Posted on by
6

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!! Does anyone have plans in the works? I’ll be at work all day and it’s going to be a busy one. Once a year we have a bucket sale for The Children’s Miracle Network. Customers pay a $5 donation for a bucket and everything they can fit into it they get 20% off of. We usually do very well with this one especially since it goes to our local hospital. We’re supposed to go to a concert tonight, but the weather doesn’t look so good, severe thunderstorms, and it’s an outside concert.

I played with Online Exclusive products for today’s card again. I feel like I’ve rediscovered a bundle. 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 Happiest Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder along with the Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from the Inspire. Create. Stamping Colour Challenge #173.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Embossed a Basic White card front using the Zinnia EF. Adhere the embossed panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink lengthwise on the panel. On another panel of Basic White, stamp the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Simply Zinnia Dies, cut the leaf image, cut the flower die from panels of Azure Afternoon and Balmy Blue, cut the flower center from Azure Afternoon and cut the detailed flower center from Lemon Lolly.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the flower together using Glue Dots and Liquid Glue. Adhere the flower to the top of the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Snip the leaves apart using Paper Snips. Adhere them to either side of the sentiment using Glue Dots. Adhere the Basic White panel to the Azure Afternoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue. Add a few Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Happiest Day stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the single flower and leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Azure Afternoon, Balmy Blue, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the single flower and leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the images using Azure Afternoon, Balmy Blue, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. Emboss a panel of Balmy Blue using the Zinnia EF.

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

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are starting to make some plans for the weekend. I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but we’re closing the store early for all the employees to go to a baseball game. We’ve been doing this every year for the past few years and it’s always a lot of fun. This year they got us upper boxes to watch the game and fireworks, and they will be bringing the food to us.

Today’s card I played with Online Exclusive products. This DSP that goes with the bundles is gorgeous. 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! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives Greetings of the Season Bundle, Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Golden Greenery Bundle, Season of Green & Gold DSP and Graceful Greenery Vellum paper for my card today.

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

Adhere a panel of Season of Green & Gold DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhered the layered panel to the front of a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

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

On a panel of Old Olive, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Greetings of The Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the largest tag die from the Greetings of The Season Dies. Adhere the panel of Gold Foil to the card front using Stampin’ Seal only on the left half of the panel.

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

Adhere the tag to the front of the Gold Foil panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Golden Greenery Dies, cut a couple sprigs and berries from a panel of the Graceful Greenery Vellum paper. Adhere the berries to the sprigs using Glue Dots. Adhered the sprigs behind the tag using Liquid Glue. Add a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

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

On the inside, adhere a panel of Season of Green & Gold DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Very Vanilla, stamp the sentiments from the Season of Greetings stamp set in Old Olive Ink. Stamp the outline sprig image from the Stampin’ Up! Golden Greenery Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow ink, stamping off one on scrap paper. Stamp the solid sprig image from the Golden Greenery stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on top of the outlined image. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

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

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the outline sprig image from the Golden Greenery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the solid sprig image from the Golden Greenery stamp set over the outlined image in Old Olive Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once. Adhere a panel of Season of Green & Gold DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet

Posted on by
4

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Has anyone made any plans yet? I’ll be at work all day today. I had a very productive day yesterday (not in my craft studio though). I trimmed some plants & weeded outside, picked tomatoes and jalapeño peppers, did lots of laundry, cleaned and finished decorating my house for summer (I know, we’re a month in already). By last night I felt like I accomplished everything I wanted to except making cards for the week. Cards will be on tomorrow’s agenda. I might even lock myself in my card studio LOL.

I played with an older set for today’s card. I don’t know about you, but I stand in front of my stamp sets and always seem to pull the same sets out. Today I used one that I haven’t played with in a while. 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! Lovely & Sweet 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set along with the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sweetly Scripted Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to a Peach Pie card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, add Peach Pie Ink on the top and Soft Sea Foam Ink on the bottom using Blending Brushes. Stamp the large image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the blended colors.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss the Basic White panel using the Distressed Tile EF. Adhered the panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. Add a few Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the large image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pecan Pie on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Peach Pie, Pecan Pie and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Peach Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. Stamp the large image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Peach Pie, Pecan Pie and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the envelope flap.
