Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry CAS for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Karen’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry Cling Stamp Set along with the Lights Aglow 6 X 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the large snowflake image from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the snowflake out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut one a tiny bit larger using Gold Foil paper. I adhered the snowflake image to the Gold Foil paper using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front overlapping the layered circles using a Glue Dot and Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Gold Festive Pearls to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Versamark Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I stamped the snowflake image from the Joyful Flurry stamp set on the top of the panel in Versamark Ink and again sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I adhered a strip of the Lights Aglow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. I made it to Georgia and I’m already having a great time. Today we get to spend the day crafting, laughing, eating and just talking with each other. I can’t wait to see what everyone has brought for us to make. Today is also the 1st year in 34 years that I’m away from my husband for our anniversary. I asked him before committing and he told me to go and have a good time. We’ll celebrate next week when I get home.

My card today is another quick one. I’m finding that when making my Christmas cards I seem to make most of them quick and easy. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Cane Bundle and the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Sweetest Christmas DSP card front to a Garden Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Cane Cling Stamp Set in Real Red Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Candy Cane Dies. I threaded a piece of Garden Green 3/8″ ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack through the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped the ribbon around a panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP and tide a bow. I adhered the panel of DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Sweet Candy Cane stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the candy cane image from the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set in Real Red Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the candy cane images from Sweet Candy Cane stamp set in Real Red Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

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 Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Leaves Of Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week. I changed the Garden Green to Evening Evergreen for my card.

My design is from Try Stamping On Tuesday Challenge #578.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to an Evening Evergreen card base. I adhered a smaller panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped the detailed berry image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink in the corner of the panel. I stamped the berry fill image in Real Red Ink over the detailed image. I masked the berries using a Post-It note that I had stamped and fussy cut the berries on. I stamped the small holly leaf image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on either side of the berries. I adhered the sentiment to the matted DSP panel.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry for Fun Fold Friday Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans yet for the weekend? I’ll be at work tomorrow, but I have Sunday off so I can attend our Zoom monthly meeting.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry Bundle and the Snowflake Vellum Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by folding my card base in half at the 5 1/2″ score line, then I folded the 4 1/2″ score line back. I adhered the 1″ binder part of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 panels of Snowflake Vellum Paper to the Starry Sky mats using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal in the center where the sentiment was going to go and the side where the ribbon was going. I also added a few Glue Dots behind the snowflake images on the Vellum Paper. I adhered the layered panels to the Orchid Oasis card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Orchid Oasis 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon around the binder end and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. On a panel of Starry Sky cardstock, I stamped the snowflake images from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled them with my Silver Embossing Powder and set them with my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment and snowflakes out using the Frosted Flurry Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the snowflakes by the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a couple of the small snowflakes out from a panel of Silver Foil Paper. I adhered the silver foil snowflake using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the dotted image from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, next to the sentiment. I adhered the other silver snowflake by the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the snowflake images form the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky Inks on the envelope front and flap, stamping some full strength and some stamped off.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Sympathy

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week has started off good. I finally have a day off today and I have a few errands to run. I have to take Coraline for the last of her puppy shots and she’ll finally be allowed to play with other puppies if she wishes.

I have a clean and simple card today for you using sets from the Annual Catalog. The one set is going to be used on Saturday for World Card Making Day for the Stampin’ Up! event, details, below. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set and the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper for my CAS card today.

My sketch today is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #292.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large rose image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I adhered the stamped panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Smoky Slate mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Smoky slate Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on either side of the sentiments. I adhered a strip of Abigail Rose DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large rose image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Friendship

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends, welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned. I’ll be working all day today.

This past Tuesday was our team meeting. After we finish with the business part of the meeting, we do some mystery stamping. Our upline Jaimie gives us measurements of cardstock and DSP and lets us know what other products we may need. The rest is up to us. She talks up through what to do and at the end our cards are all similar, but also very different. Here’s what I came up with.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 1 creativestanpingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Bundle along with the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper for my card today. This bundle is only available until September 30, 2022. The stamp set is in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 2 creativestanpingdesigns.com

I started by making a small mark about 1 3/4″ up from the bottom left front of a So Saffron card base. I cut from that mark to the bottom right corner using my Paper Trimmer.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 3 creativestanpingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the apple image from the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Apple Blossoms Dies. I cut a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Stitched Greenery Die.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 4 creativestanpingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut apple image to the Granny Apple Green panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow with Linen Thread and adhered it to the apple stem using a Glue Dot. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White panel. I cut the sentiment out using the Harvest Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card base along the bottom angled edge using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored a few of the Pearl Basic Jewels using my Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered the pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 5 creativestanpingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat then to the inside top of the So Saffron card base. I adhered a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to the inside bottom of the So Saffron card base.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Friendship 6 creativestanpingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the apple image from the Apple Harvest stamp set on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Gingham Cottage DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly CAS

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Yesterday was such a rainy day here, but we needed it. I went up to my team leaders for our quarterly meeting, which is always so much fun. We stamped 3 different cards using the same set, got to chat a bit and see all the team member from all over the US via Zoom. Here is one of the cards we made yesterday. This one was designed by Akiko Sudano and I just LOVE it. If you have a lot of cards to make to send out this Christmas season, this is a perfect one that can be duplicated very easily.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set to make my card today using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. I did add a little embellishment too.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the solid berry image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set on the bottom left corner in Real Red Ink. I stamped the detailed berry image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink over the solid stamped image. I stamped the solid berry image on a piece of Masking Paper and fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips.

I covered the berries with the Masking Paper. I stamped the large, detailed holly leaf image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink along the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid holly leaf image in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image. I stamped the smaller holly leaf image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink along the side of the panel. I stamped the smaller solid holly leaf image in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image.

I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Shaded Spruce card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock. I stamped the berries and small holly leaf images from the Leaves of Holly stamp set on the top of the panel the same as I did for the card front.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the berry and holly images from the Leaves of Holly stamp set on the envelope front and flap the same as I did for the card.
