Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Christmas

Good Monday morning stamping friends welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? I can’t believe we’re halfway through the month of October already.

I have a quick Christmas card for you today using a sketch I’ve never used before. 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! Rustic Crate Christmas 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set, Joy Of Christmas Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #607.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Christmas 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Christmas 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Very Best Occasions stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the holly and pine bough using Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the sentiment to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the poinsettia image from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink 2 times. I colored the images using Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Rustic Crate Dies. I adhered the poinsettias above and below the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Joy of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the poinsettia image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Smile

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your weekend plans are working out. It’s supposed to be a little nicer here in NJ today. I’m off and I’ll be attending our monthly meeting via zoom.

Today’s card was one I made a week ago Saturday for World Card Making Day. I attended the virtual Stampin’ Up! event and this was one of the sets they used. I kind of did my own thing with it. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made the card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings WCMD 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Banner Pick A Punch for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to an Azure Afternoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Lemon Lolly card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings WCMD 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. I only needed the top of the circle, so I didn’t punch the whole circle. I adhered the half circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings WCMD 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a scored strip of Azure Afternoon cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I cut both ends of the strip using the Banner Pick A Punch. I folded the strip on the score lines and adhered it to my card front over the bottom of the half circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings WCMD 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sun ray image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink above the sentiment. I adhred teh Basic White panel to an Azure Afternoon mat then to the inside of the Lemon Lolly card base.

Stampin’ Up! So Sincere for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends 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 Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set along with the Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder and the gorgeous Meandering Meadows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. This DSP will be available as an Online Exclusive starting on November 7th.

Here is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Meandering Medows DSP card front to a Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Fresh Freesia, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I embossed a strip of Petal Pink using the Painted Textures 3D EF.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Fresh Freesia strip to the Petal Pink strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of Melon Mambo to the Fresh Freesia strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered strips to the card front using Stampin’; Dimensionals. I added Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of the Meandering Meadows DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Meandering Meadows DSP to the envelope front. I embossed a panel of Fresh Freesia using the Painted Textures 3D EF and adhered it to the envelope flap.

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me!

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

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.

I adhered the layered sentiment panel to the card Melon Mambo card front using Stampin’ Seal + only on the left side. I added a few Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs 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.

Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Fall Thank You

Good Sunday morning stamping friends, Happy October. I can’t believe it’s October already. It’s warming up here in NJ for the next few days so it kind of feels like we should be back to August. I’m guessing this is our Indian summer that we get every year. I hope your weekend is going well. I’ll be at work all day today getting the bills ready to mail out.

I have a quick card for you today playing with products from the Annual Catalog that I haven’t played with in a while. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Around The Bend Dies, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of all About Autumn DSP using the Around The Bend Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set on the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel in Copper Clay Ink.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the Very Vanilla panel using the Leaf Fall EF. I adhered the die cut DSP” to the top of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack around the layered panel twice and ties a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Copper Clay card base using Stampin’ Dimensonals. I added a few Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Around The Bend stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Using the scraps that came off the bottom of the die cut card front, I cut the leaves from Around The Bend Dies and adhered them to the top of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from Around The Bend stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front, stamping off on scrap paper once. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow CAS

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a very wet and rainy one here in NJ and it’s continuing through today.

I have a super quick and easy card for you today that you can make multiple of in no time. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set along with the Online Exclusive Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper and the Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set on the bottom of a Real Red panel in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Traditions of St. Nick DSP to the top of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Real Red Ribbon from the real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack around the layered panel and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I adhered a panel of Traditions of St. Nick DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red Ink. I cut the panel using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I took my Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker and edged the sides of the panel. I adhered the basic White panel to the center of the inner liner mat.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in real Red Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Traditions of St. Nick DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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.

Stampin’ Up! Gift Of Giving

Good Sunday afternoon stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend. It’s been a rainy cool one here in NJ. I’m a bit on the later side today, time just got away from me this morning. I got up and said I was going to get my blog posted right away. Then I decided to make everyone French toast for breakfast. “Ok, now I’m going to go do my blog”, well, next thing I knew I was making spaghetti sauce for today so we could make skillet lasagna for dinner. When I was done with that, I looked away and went right to my computer. Time just goes so fast sometimes.

I have a quick card for you today using some sets from the mini catalog and Online Exclusives DSP. 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! Gift Of Giving Christmas 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the cup image from the Gift Of Giving stamp set on a panel of Basic White. I colored the image in using Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 6th from the smallest Deckled Circles Dies.

I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ Iridescent Ribbon around a Shining Christmas DSP card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gift Of Giving Christmas 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the 7th from the smallest Deckled Circles Dies, I cut a panel of Cherry Cobbler. I adhered the die cut artwork to the Cherry Cobbler circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the left side of the layered circles using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the layered circles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, lining up the straight edge with the card front panel. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Joy To You stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Shining Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the mistletoe image from the Gift Of Giving stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Baisc White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.
