Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How are you all doing today? I missed you yesterday, how was your weekend? I spend Sunday weeding a couple gardens in front of my house. It always amazes me how quickly those weeds grow. I spent about 5 hours outside working only on 2 of my gardens. I have a big one to tackle one day soon and a couple more that need a little TLC.

Today’s an exciting day for demonstrators. We get to preorder from the September-December 2026 Catalog. It’s another great catalog. I’ll be ordering my catalogs too, so if you are a customer of mine and you’ve placed an order in the past year, be watching your mailbox for them. I’ll be shipping them out just as soon as they arrive at my house. You can get your hands on the new products early too. If you join the Stampin’ Up! community, you can use your $125 bonus code to order the new products coming in Sept. Contact me at creativestampingdesigns@gmailcom if you are interested and we can talk. I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. I’d love for you to join our team, we’re a very relaxed group of stampers that like to stamp and share. There’s never an obligation to sell.

How many of you struggle from crafters block? I’m always struggling. I come up with ideas right before I fall asleep and tell myself I’ll remember that one. I go for a walk and come up with an idea, but by the time I get home it’s gone. I scroll through Pinterest to see ideas that are out there and right when I come up with something, either someone interrupts me or one of my dogs decide that would be the perfect time to go out. What kind of things do you do to get past the crafters block?

Sales Tax Holiday July-August

The 2026 back-to-school sales tax holiday season is upon us!  During select dates in July and August, thirteen states and Puerto Rico are offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies.

Good news: this includes select Stampin’ Up! products!  According to state statutes, “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes” are eligible.

You can find the list on the 2026 Back-to-School Tax Holiday Information handout.  The handout also includes participating states, tax-exempt products, sales tax holiday dates, and information about how these exemptions work.  Click on the image below to open the full size handout:

Please note that you must place your Stampin’ Up! orders during the tax holiday period to receive qualifying items tax-free.  Orders must be placed between midnight on the first day and midnight on the last day of the applicable tax holiday. Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the exemption may not apply to county, city, or special jurisdiction taxes.

Georgia, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin have suspended the sales tax holiday this year.

The tax holidays are already happening in Alabama and Puerto Rico!  So if you live in those areas, get your order placed this weekend to get the Stampin’ Up! back to school items tax free!

Introducing the hottest items in crafting—the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System!!

The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE STAMPIN’ HOT FOIL SYSTEM?

This is everything included in the Stampin’ Hot Foil System & Craft Class:

  • Metallic Magic Craft Class ($30 value—limited time only!)
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil platform
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Shim & Spacer
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Magnetic Pick-Up Tool
  • Silicone platform station
  • Silicone cooling pad
  • Power cord
  • Instructions on how to use the system

The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (the foil itself), and Hot Foil dies and bundles are sold separately.

CRAFT CLASS

As an added bonus, everyone who purchases this system before January 4, 2027, will automatically be able to access the upcoming Metallic Magic Craft Class, a technique-centric virtual class. Attendees will make unique projects and learn crafting tips intended to elevate their hot foil crafting experience. This class is a special limited-time offer exclusive to this system and is an amazing tool when it comes to increasing skills, learning techniques, and making the most of this new product line.

You can see more details about the system, find the bundles and foil that will be available to order beginning on Friday, July 10 in this brochure:

A few notes about the new system:

  • Hot Foil results are best with either White Willow or Two-Tone Cardstock.  Smoother card stocks like the Two-Tone Cardstock and White Willow will achieve the best results when using the system, but you can use the regular card stocks too.
  • The Hot Foil System, foil rolls and new hot foil dies and bundles will be available Friday, July 10, 2026 in the online Stampin’ Up! store.
  • A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you do!).  You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.
  • The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160. Dies & foil are sold separately.
  • Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock.  So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!
  • IMPORTANT NOTE:  Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling.  You cannot die cut using foiling dies.  Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

I’m so excited for you all to be able to order this new system!  Head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store beginning July 10 to see and order the new system!

Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans do you have for the weekend? I’ll be working all day today, then tonight we have tickets to a concert.

Good Monday morning stamping friends, welcome to a new week. How way your weekend? Did you go to see fireworks on the 4th? We did and we were a LOT closer than I expected. They sent up a test, and it was right over my head. It was and awesome display.

I have a super simple card for you today. I needed a card where a lot of people could sign inside. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Stamp Set, Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and Circle Punches.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Mossy Meadow mat. Wrap a piece of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine around the layered panel 2 times and tie a knot in the back.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the layered panel to a Crumb Cake card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel oof Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from Sunset Coast stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Cut a circle out of a panel of Mossy Meadow using the 2″ Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the mat.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front over the baker’s twine with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Natural Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Sunset Coast stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the top of a Basic Beige panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the insdie of a Crumb Cake card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Adhere a strip of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Register for Pretty Poinsettia Christmas in July Online Class Ends Friday

Tara and I are teaming up to offer a Christmas in July Online Class featuring the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Poinsettia Bundle and 2026-2028 In-Color Gingham Gallery DSP. To ensure we can get the products for you the sign-up time is very short. We want to ensure that we are able to get the embossing folders for everyone and the bundle if you wish to order it. We are offering the bundle to you at an additional 10% discount (see price on form). We will be creating 6 different cards during the class including 2 Fun Fold cards. Click Here to register.

The class fee includes:

  • Stampin’ Up! Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels (full pack)
  • Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folder
  • Pre-cut card kits to complete each card
  • Zoom class with complete instructions to complete each card

During sign up you will have the option to add additional items to your order that you can take advantage of at no additional shipping cost.  These items are optional, however if you want to recreate the cards you will need them. If you’ve attended a previous class, you were given a discount code, there is a spot to put that code on the form and the discount only applies to the products that you check off that you wish to purchase, not the class.  Since the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle is already discounted, the discount does not apply to that.

The class will be held Sunday July 26th from 1 to 4 pm Eastern Time via Zoom.  This allows anyone in the United States to participate live!  Can’t join us live… no worries, we will record the session so it can be replayed at any time.

I will email written directions that will include directions, cardstock cuts as well as photos to help you create each card.

Class Cost $40 + $10 (Shipping) 

Additional purchased items will be included in the above shipping price.  I will invoice you through PayPal and invoices must be paid by July 10th to insure I can get the products.  Sign up by Clicking Here.

Hi stamping friends. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and are celebrating your dads. It was a busy day at work yesterday as expected and I came home to trying to get a thousand things done before it got dark. Unfortunately, by the time I went to make a card I couldn’t keep my eyes open. My plans were to get up and get one done this morning, but once again I had a lot of things I had to get done first thing and time got away from me. When noon came, I decided it just wasn’t going to happen. I promise I’ll be back tomorrow with a card for you. In the meantime, it’s Father’s Day and my husband said he was going to make homemade pizzas, which you know requires my help.

Final Week to order July Online Exclusive Product Share

I’m offering a small product share from the upcoming July Online Exclusives. I’m offering a Paper Share and/or an Embellishment & Ribbon Share. If you click on the image below you can open the flyer with the products coming in July.

I’m offering a Paper Share and a Ribbon & Embellishment Share from the July 2026 Online Exclusives, and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on July 1st 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 July 6th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous and fun new Papers in the upcoming July 2026 Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Papers from the Online Exclusives. 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 papers from the Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $90.00 plus shipping.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the 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 – $10.50 plus $7.00 for shipping

You will receive one 6×6 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):

  • Frightfully Fun (6)
  • Frightfully Fun Two-Tone Cardstock (6)
  • Spooktacular (6×6) (4)
  • 2026-2028 In-Color Gingham (5)
  • A Stitched Season (6)
  • Violet Dreams Specialty (5)

If you’d like double shares of the paper, I’m offering those too! I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ sheets into 6″ × 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.

Double Paper Share – $21.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping

Ribbon/Embellishment Share – $12.50 plus $7.00 Shipping

All ribbons and Embellishments will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Black 3/8″ Iridescent Ribbon
  • Fresh Freesia 1/4″ Satin Ribbon
  • Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Ribbon
  • Adhesive-Backed Bats Ghosts & Dots (30)
  • Adhesive-Backed Blooms (15)
  • Adhesive-Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (10)

Double Ribbon & Embellishment Share – $25.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping and you will be getting 1/2 of the roll of each ribbon.

Anyone is welcome to join in my shares (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  To make ordering the shares a little easier, I have created a form for you to submit, that way you can order any combination of shares you want. Click Here for the form. I will send out PayPal Invoices on or around June 27th with a due date by June 30th.

Deadline to sign up for my share is Saturday June 27th at 5:00 PM ET.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was beautiful here in NJ, sunny and not too hot.

I have a super quick card for you today, that once again, I let the DSP do the work for me. 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 Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Unbounded Love Dies and Online Exclusive Garden Meadow Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Cajun Craze using the arch from the Garden Meadow Dies. I adhered the die cut card front to the Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I tied a double bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the linen thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems and Adhesive Back Dragonflies and Birds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   PKXMFP73

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2024-2025Annual Catalog, or from the Online Exclusives!  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.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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 have updated my Retirement List. If you missed out on something from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January – April 2024 Mini Catalog or maybe even something a little older you might want to check out my list.

For all orders of $50 or greater (before shipping and taxes) that have my Current Host Code T9JKA3XQ applied or for individual orders of $150 or greater placed through me between now and Wednesday, February 14, you’ll get your choice of a free adhesive! You MUST remember to add my Host Code to your orders.

This can be anything that Stampin’ Up! sells that could be used as an adhesive!  And for the adhesives that are $5 or under, two packs will equal one choice (see the items with the (2) on the list below) so if you select those, you’ll get double, YAY!!

The adhesive will be in addition to the normal thank you gift that I order for you!!  Plus, since your order will be over $50, you’ll earn Sale-A-Bration item(s) too.  A big double YAY for more free goodies!!

***Please note, if your order is over $150, do not apply a host code.  If you apply a host code to your order, it will take away your host benefits and we don’t want that!  But don’t worry, you’ll still be eligible for the free gift and free adhesive offer!

Here is a list of the adhesives that you can pick from:

  • Adhesive Sheets
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive
  • Stampin’ Seal
  • Stampin’ Seal Refill
  • Stampin’ Seal +
  • Stampin’ Seal + Refill
  • Fine-Tip Glue Pen
  • Silicone Craft Sheet (even though it’s not an adhesive…it is an awesome tool for adhesives!)
  • Foam Adhesive Strips
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Black Stampin’ Dimensionals Combo Pack
  • Foam Adhesive Sheets
  • Cling Adhesive
  • Heat & Stick Powder

I’ll be placing the order for the adhesives with my host orders on February 16th, so please be sure to send your selections right away when you order…otherwise I’ll pick one for you and send it out with your thank you gift!

*With Stampin’ Up!’s new backorder policy where numbers are turned off for ordering if they go on backorder, if the adhesive that you pick is turned off for ordering when I place the order on the 16th, I’ll order Stampin’ Dimensionals for you instead.

Visit my Online Store Here and start shopping now!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   T9JKA3XQ

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

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

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! Paradise Palms for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
18

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Palms Bundle along with the New Horizons 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Our theme this week is to Create a Scene!

I started by adhering a panel of New Horizon DSP to a Pale Papaya card base.

From a panel of Basic Black cardstock, I cut out 2 of the palm tree dies using the Palms Dies. From another panel of Basic Black cardstock I cut out 3 of the grass dies using the Palms Dies. I adhered the grass die-cut pieces to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots where they overlapped. I adhered the 2 palm tree die-cuts to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic Black cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Palms Cling Stamp Set in VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder from the Basics Embossing Powders and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered a small piece of Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weve Ribbon to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the palm tree images from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of the New Horizons DSP to the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the Pale Papaya card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the palm tree image from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of New Horizons DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today. If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go to Tara’s page. Or you can just click on the names below to go directly to all their blogs! Happy Hopping!!
