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

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

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! Spotlight on Nature

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. Working in retail, my boss said to me one time, “after 4th of July, the summer’s over”. I never believed him until lately. The summer is just flying by on me. What happen to those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy days of Summer? Time needs to slow down. We hit over 100 yesterday with the real feel of 110 in the afternoon. Then that followed by thunderstorms in the evening. A true summer day here in NJ.

Today’s card I played along with 2 challenges and one of them makes your own background paper. 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! Spotlight On Nature Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Summer Splash card base.

Stampin’ Up! Wildly Flowering Designs

Good Tuesday afternoon stamping friends. How are you all doing today? We haven’t melted here in NJ yet but getting close. Last I saw we’re in the triple digits here today with 1000% humidity. I’m staying in as much as possible. I’m convinced that Coraline understands when I say things to my daughter. We got home later than expected last night and it was getting dark. We decided that we were going to get up early to go out and water all my plants. At 5am, Cora started wining to come out of her crate, so that was my que to get up and go out to water. I was so happy I did because by 7am I couldn’t breathe outside.

I have a super quick card for you today using an entire suite from the annual catalog. 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! Wildflower Designs Mauve 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildly Flowering Designs Suite Collection for my card today. It includes the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Bundle, Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper and Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder.

My design is from TGIF Sketch Challenge #481

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP using the Dashing Designs EF. I adhered the embossed panel to an Early Espresso card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a small panel of Misty Moonlight using the Wildflower Designs Dies. I adhered the scalloped strip to the back of the small, layered panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the small splotch image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 2 times, around the sentiment. I cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basi White, I stamped the sentiment from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink around the sentiment, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper first. I embossed a strip of Wildly Flowering DSP using the Dashing Designs EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink around the image. I adhered a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the middle of July already. I feel like I just said happy July. I’m not sure where time is going lately. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? I worked, did some cleaning and attended out team meeting via zoom yesterday.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #644.

My colors are from The Color Throwdown Challenge #801. I really like these colors together; they give me a cozy feeling.

Stampin’ Up! Tune In Birthday

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are making some plans for the weekend. I’ll be at work all day today and last I heard it’s supposed to be a thunderstorm kind of day.

Today’s card I played with another new bundle that I wasn’t sure if I wanted or not. I was leaning towards I don’t want it, then I saw some cards made and I really liked the set. Once I got it in my hands, I had a lot of fun playing with it and I’m already thinking of other cards to make with it. 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! tune In Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! tune In Bundle along with the Full of Life 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Silver Foil Paper, Country Woods Designer Series Paper and Textured Metallic Specialty Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! tune In Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Full of Life DSP to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! tune In Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Tune In Dies, I cut the tv from a panel of Country Woods DSP, the mat for the screen, knobs, vent and rabbit ears from Silver Foil Sheets, the tv screen from a panel of Full of Life DSP and the bolts from Textured Metallic Paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tune In Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on the die cut screen panel. I sprinkled it with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the tv screen to a Silver Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the tv using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! tune In Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut vent under the tv screen using Glue Dots. I adhered the knobs and rabbit ears using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the tv to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the bolts using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! tune In Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Tune In stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tv image from the Tune In stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. I stamped the rabbit ears from the Tune In stamp set on top of the tv in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the images using Pecan Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bolts above the large tv image from the Tune In stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the other sentiment from the Tune In stamp set in blueberry Bushel Ink next to the tv. I stamped the star image from the Tune In stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, then over the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! tune In Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the star image from the Tune In stamp set on the envelope front in Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry Inks. I stamped the rabbit ears from the Tune In stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope flap and colored them using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bolts around the rabbit ears in Tuxedo Black Ink.

Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Snapdragons Thank You

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through this HOT week and on our way to the weekend. It’s supposed to cool down here in NJ on Friday to the 80’s and then right back up to the upper 90’s next week. Hoe is it where you all live?

I have a quick card for you today playing with a new bundle that I just received. I did the Marker to Stamp technique 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! Inspiring Snapdragons 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Snapdragons Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set, 2024-2026 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to a Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Petunia Pop card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the medium snapdragon image from the Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Snapdragons Cling Stamp Set. I inked up the stamp using Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Write Markers. I gave it a little huff and stamped the image on the panel of Basic White. I cut the image out using the Greetings of the Season Dies. I stamped the splatter image from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the image. I threaded Black Baker’s Twine through the tag hole and tied a bow. I adhered the die cut panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the 2 dragonfly images from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the images out using the Inspiring Snapdragons Dies. I adhered the dragonflies to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Petunia Pop, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gem to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the splatter image from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the 2 dragonfly images from Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink by the sentiment. I adhered a strip of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Petunia Pop card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium snapdragon image from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set on the envelope front, inking it up the same way I did for the card. I stamped the splatter image from Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the image. I stamped the dragonfly images from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans do you have for the weekend? I’ll be working all day today and after work one of my cashiers invited all the employees to her house for a company picnic.

Stampin’ Up! Under The Moon So Sincere

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends Happy Juneteenth!! Today is a special day, it’s my son’s 29th birthday. It’s hard to believe he’s 29 already, I feel like he was just a baby yesterday. I went to another graduation yesterday which was outside in the wonderful heat wave we’re having. As hot as it was, there was a breeze, so the heat didn’t feel too bad. It was my oldest niece’s son graduating yesterday and her daughter graduated Monday from 8th grade. It was so nice seeing her and the kids who I haven’t seen in a while. Afterwards we were able to catch up and chat for a bit.

I have another super quick card for you today where I let the DSP do most of the work. It’s one of my cashier’s birthday this week and she loves sailing. I always try to make cards for them having to do with something they like. 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! Under The Moon So Sincere 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a Thoughtful Journey DSP card front, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the side of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon So Sincere 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Thoughtful Journey DSP card front to a Petunia Pop mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin Dimensionals. I added a few Online Exclusive, Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies and Birds to the card front.

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

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.
