Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 1 creativestampungdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! adventurous Sky Cling Stamp Set along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both of these items will be available starting next Wednesday May 1st.

Here is our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 2 creativestampungdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel Take to the Sky DSP to a Copper Clay mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 3 creativestampungdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Take to The Sky DSP to Boho Blue mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 4 creativestampungdesigns.com

On a panel of Boho Blue, I stamped the smallest airplane and sentiment from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment between the other 2 panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots (retiring April 30th) to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the largest cloud image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I stamped the cloud image again on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large cloud image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the smallest plane image from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper clay ink above the clouds. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Birthday

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s supposed to be a beautiful day here in NJ today. I’m hoping to take Coraline for a little walk or 2 today.

Today I played with all new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog again. 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! Unbounded Love Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to a Petunia Pop card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 more panels of Unbounded Beauty DSP to Petunia Pop mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the long-layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue and the shorter layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Petunia Pop using the Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the top and bottom. From a panel of Shy Shamrock, I cut the leaf frame and the leaves using the Unbounded Love Dies. From a panel of Basic White, I cut the leaf frame using the Unbounded Love Dies.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Shy Shamrock leaf frame and leaves to the card front using Liquid Glue. On the inside of the Basic White leaf frame I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petunia Pop Ink. I adhered the Basic White center to the Shy Shamrock leaf frame using Liquid Glue. I added a few of the 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the detailed leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, inside the detailed leaves. I adhered a strip of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shy Shamrock mat then to the inside of the Petunia Pop card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope front and stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on the strip. I stamped the detailed leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, inside the detailed leaf image. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Hello

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works? I’ll be working all day today. It’s starting to get busier at the store with everyone starting to do yard work, so the days go by pretty quickly.

Today I played with lots of new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 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! Citrus Blooms Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! citrus Blooms Bundle along with the Unbounded Love Dies and Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder for today’s card. All these products will be available starting May 1st to customers. If you are interested in getting your hands on them early, contact me @ creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and we can talk.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by randomly stamping the tiny floral image from the Stampin’ Up! citrus Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Peach Pie Ink on a panel of Peach Pie. I cut a panel of Basic White using the Citrus Blooms Dies then embossing the die cut panel using the Dotted Circles EF. I adhered the die cut embossed panel to the Peach Pie panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Black card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Citrus Blooms Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I adhered a piece of the retiring Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2024-2026 In-Color Shimmer Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tiny floral image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink on the corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Peach Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller orange image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the envelope flap using the Dotted Circles EF.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and 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.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and New Country Woods Designer Series Paper (available starting May 1st) for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the large leaf/flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set twice on a panel of Basic White. I colored the image using Petal Pink, Gray Granite and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the 2 images out using the Lovely & Sweet Dies.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the images to a Country Woods DSP card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I trimmed the excess off using Paper Snips. I adhered the card front to a Gray Granite card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the Lovely & Sweet Dies. I adhered a piece of the new Petal Pink Diagonal Trim from the Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack (available May 1st) to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Petal Pink Foiled Gems from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the leaf image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Petal Pink, Gray Granite and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set on the envelope front in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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….

Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #206 is April Flowers. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Bundle and the New Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (both items will be available starting May 1st), along with the Nested Essentials Dies and Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder for today’s card. I was inspired by the flowers in the photo and the colors of the flowers for my Clean and Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 206.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. Using Blending Brushes and the Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks, I added Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Inks. I cut the image out using the Layers of Beauty Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the floral image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the small flower centers.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Lover stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set over the sentiment in Bubble Bath Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base,

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the large floral image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Nel’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For The Ladies/Girls”. We can interpret this however we want. 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! Country Flowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Bundle along with the Country Lace Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set for m y card today. All these products will be available starting May 1.

My design is from Try a Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #644

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Country Lace DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Country Lace DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the teapot image form the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled path Ink. Using a mask I cut from a Post-It note, I covered the teapot and stamped the stool image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I colored the image using Pecan Pie and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. On another piece of Basic Whtie, I stamped the flower image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I colored the image using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the flower image out using the Country Flowers Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Beige mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flowers on top of the teapot using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest circle from the Everyday Details Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Basic Beige Ink over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Country Lace DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Lace DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Panels

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well. It was busier than I expected yesterday at work. Other than being cold, it turned out to be a nice day and everyone was in buying their mulch and fertilizer.

Today’s card is one that we made at our OnStage After Hours in TX last month. We got to choose a bundle to preorder and get the first night we were there and create cards with it. They had all the ink and cardstock waiting at tables for us. I only made 1 of the 3 cards designs we were able to make. A lot of us were too exhausted from the flight to stay and stamp. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Cling Stamp Set (which will be available starting May 1st) for my card today along with 3 of the 5 New 2024-2026 In-Colors (also available starting May 1st).

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the large citrus image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Pretty In Pink Ink on a panel of Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie Ink on a panel of Peach Pie and Petunia Pop Ink on a panel of Petunia Pop.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 3 stamped panels to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips. I tied a bow using the White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2024-2026 In-Color Shimmer Gem to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large citrus image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Peach Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Panels 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller citrus image from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans n the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m guessing it’s going to be another slow day because of the weather. We had something different here in NJ happen yesterday. About 10 miles from my house, we had a 4.8 earthquake. It scared the living daylights out of me. There was a loud boom and my whole house shook. I didn’t know what was happening. I live in NJ to avoid those kinds of things. We didn’t have any damage. Later on around dinner time we had a 4.0 aftershock. Once again, my whole house shook. That’s enough now for a lifetime. I have to admit, that scared me almost as much as 911.

I have a sneak peek for you today using some new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog along with some retiring product. We made this card at our Stamp Camp card class last week. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Bundle (available May 1st) along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Deckled Circles Dies and retiring Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP using the Timber 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Copper Clay mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a NEW Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink. I cut the image out using the Loveliest Tree Dies. From a panel of Copper Clay, I cut the circle using the Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the die cut tree to the Deckled Circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Circles Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Hope You Know stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Basic Beige Ink over the tree. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series 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 NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail 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):

Double DSP Share – $130 + $9.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper 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.

New Ribbon Share – $20.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? Does anyone have plans for Easter Sunday yet?

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Bundle and Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both items will be available starting May 1st. If you’d like to get this beautiful DSP and awesome bundle early, you can add it to a starter kit starting on April 2nd. Contact me and I’ll tell you how.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the 4 smaller panels of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the 4 Petunia Pop mats (available May 1st) using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4 layered panels to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the longer panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the longer Petunia Pop mat then to a panel of Pool Party using Liquid Glue and set it aside. 

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink along the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the leaf image. On a small panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the Basic White panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the center of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Journey stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I colored the image using the Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut the image out using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. From panels of Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop, I cut the stand along flower die from the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. I snipped the flowers off the Petunia Pop die using Paper Snips and adhered them to the Lost Lagoon die using Liquid Glue. Using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies, I cut the branch die from a panel of Wild Wheat. I adhered the 3 die cut pieces to the right side of the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered bridge panel to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue only on the ends.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set by added ink to the stamp using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Write Markers. I huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamped it on the side of the Basic White panel. I colored the leaves in using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the thistle image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the back of the Pool Party card base. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes in Pool Party Ink on the back panels of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope front in Pebbled Path Ink. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope flap, inking the stamp the same as I did for the card back. I stamped the splotch image around the flowers and leaves in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper.

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! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine Card

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started off well.

Today’s card is a sneak peek at a new set coming on May 1st. I needed to make a CAS card for the beginner class that I’m doing next month and I thought this one would be perfect. 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! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a Very Vanilla card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set on the top of the card front in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I took another small piece of Pecan Pie Bordered Ribbon and tied a knot around the ribbon. I adhered the layered card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Back Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like this card and this set will be on your wish list. It comes as a bundle with dies and it’s perfect for those masculine cards. Happy Stamping!!
