Stampin’ Up! Flower Fair Hello

Posted on January 25, 2026 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Snowy Sunday morning stamping friends. The snowstorm here in NJ has begun. I hope your weekend is going well. It was crazy busy yesterday at the store. The entire day was non-stop and the 2 of us were taking care of 100 customers an hour. Today Tara and I will be holding our Online Class for those who signed up last month. I can’t wait to make these cards with everyone.

I have a little sneak peek for you today of 2 products coming in March. I got my preorder on Friday and held off opening it since I know how distracted I get. When I got home from work yesterday, I just had to play with something new. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Flower Fair Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives Flower Fair Stamp Set and Wood Grain Wonders Designer Series Paper (available March 3) along with the Stampin’ Up! Sunshine & Tulips Stamp Set and Perennial Postage Dies for my card today.

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week and the last Monday of 2025. Another year just about gone and a new one to start in just a few days. How was your weekend? I didn’t do anything that I planned to do. I was going to spend time in my card studio getting some cards made and just enjoying some creative time. That did not happen. I need everyone in my house to go back to work so I can have the house to myself.

I think this bundle and DSP that I used for today’s card has to be my favorite since I find myself using it a lot. I especially love DSP that has script on 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 is my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers Fun Fold

Posted on December 22, 2025 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. This will be a short week for many since Christmas falls on Thursday. Are you ready yet?? I’m definitely NOT. I got all my cookie trays put together yesterday. I’m going to run some of them around this morning before I head into work. I’ve got a few that I’ll be shipping out, but I know they won’t get to their destination before Christmas, but that’s ok. After work I need to run to Costco to pick up a couple Christmas gifts that I just decided to get, nothing like waiting until the last minute. Tomorrow is Rice pudding making day and maybe get the gifts wrapped up. Somehow, I always seem to get everything done no matter how behind I’m running.

I played with a new bundle that will be available January 6 with the Online Exclusives, 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 is my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Sunshine & Tulips

Posted on December 21, 2025 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s been really busy here at our house. I got all my cookies done and today I’m hoping to get all my trays put together and ready for delivery tomorrow. Friday night I went to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra with my husband and daughter. The concert was amazing to say the least. I love concerts that also include light shows and they DID NOT disappoint. The music was fantastic and between the lights, lasers, fire, dancing drones and fireworks my heart was full.

Today’s card was actually supposed to be my post for yesterday, but since I didn’t get home from the concert until almost 1am and I had to get up early for work, I just couldn’t get my post done on time. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sunshine & Tulips Stamp Set (available January 6) along with the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and 1 7/8″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to a Secret Sea mat. Adhere the smaller panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the coordinating Secret Sea mat. Adhere the smaller layered panel to the larger layered panel on the left side. Wrap a piece of Secret Sea 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon around the layered panels. Adhere the layered panels to the Petunia Pop card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Punch out the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch from a panel of Basic White. Stamp the outside of the tulip image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on the circle. Stamp the small inside tulip image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outside image. Draw a stem on the tulip using the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker. Stamp the leaf image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the stem. Cut the 3rd largest Circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Secret Sea. Adhere the stamped circle to the Secret Sea circle. Adhere the layered circle to the card front, over the ribbon, with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Secret Sea, stamp the sentiment from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the top of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2024-2026 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the row of tulips from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink along the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Petunia Pop card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the single tulip image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on the envelope front. Draw the stem with a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker and stamp the leaf image from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set in granny apple Green Ink. Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Monday morning stamping friends. I hope you all had a great weekend. I’m almost done decorating; I got a couple of the very tedious things done Saturday.

This is such an awesome deal!! Whether you are new to Paper Pumpkin or you already have a subscription, you can take advantage of the awesome offer. You can save $80 on a 1-year subscription. If you are already subscribed, you’ll want to suspend your current subscription, so you don’t get duplicate kits (unless you want to get 2 of each).

Starting December 1 at 8 a.m. (MT), Stampin’ Up! is offering big savings on prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions! There’s never been a better time to subscribe to get a new all-inclusive crafting kit delivered to your door each month.
