Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used new products from the upcoming September-December 2024 Mini Catalog for my card today. I used the Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Bundle and Splendid Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. I also used the Perennial Postage Dies from the annual catalog.

Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut 5 of the dies using the Perennial Postage Dies from a panel of Basic Beige. Cut the sentiment and a leaf using the More Then Autumn Dies from the panel of Basic Beige. On a panel of Basie White, stamp the pie, donut, apple, cinnamon stick, cup and pumpkin images form the Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. Color the images using Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the More Than Autumn Dies, cut all the images out. From panels of Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie cut the leaf die from the More Than Autumn Dies.

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. Today’s the DAY!!! The Designer Series Paper Sale has started. You’ve got those Bonus Days Coupons from July that you earned, so this is a great time to stock up on that DSP and save.

I played with the Online Exclusive Suite Collection today. My upline Jaimie is doing a new weekly creative challenge with us and I just happened to have purple flowers ready to go. She rolled dice to come up with 3 numbers that each have colors, elements and theme. This week was purple, embossing folder and thank you.

Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Birthday

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. Happy July!! Sorry I didn’t have a post yesterday, I was out the door very early to get to work so I could get all the statements done and mailed. There seemed to be more this month. It was another beautiful day here after a bad storm we had on Sunday. There was flooding all over in my town. It looked like a muddy pool between my backyard and my neighbors. I was watching to make sure the water didn’t come too close to the house. It came down so hard and so fast that the major highway up the road from me was flooded. Everything is good though; all the water is down and where it’s supposed to be.

I used a new Online Exclusive Bundle for today’s card that will be available to purchase starting tomorrow, YAY!!! And it’s a masculine card, which I always struggle with. 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! Frosted Forest Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Frosted Forest Bundle along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of County Woods DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Beige using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Die. I embossed the die cut panel using the Timber 3D EF.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the tall tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. Using the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks, I added Pecan Pie Ink to the tree trunk using the Small Blending Brush. I used Granny Apple Green Ink for the other 2 Frosted Forest Masks for the treetop using the Small Blending Brush. I cut the tree out using the Frosted Forest Dies. On the same panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the bird image from the Frosted Forest stamp set 2 times in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the birds using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the birds out using the Frosted Forest Dies. I adhered the tree to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the panel 2 times and tied a bow. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the birds to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (available July 3rd) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the bird image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink by the sentiment and colored them using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall tree image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card using the Frosted Forest Masks. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I have to go into the office today for the end of the month paperwork. I’m hoping to get done quickly so I have the rest of the day to do what I want. Can you believe it’s the last day of June? I can’t. That means it’s also the last day to get the additional 10% off the Stamp & Dies Bundles.

Today’s card is another one that I made last Saturday at the Creativity Now event. This one was a lot of fun to make using the new suite that will be coming in September in the mini catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Bundle that will be available for purchase in September, along with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the center panel of the die cut from the card I made at the Creativity Now Event last Saturday. You can see that card Here. I placed the die cut panel on a panel of Basic White and using my Small Blending Brush I added Mossy Meadow Ink. I flipped the panel around and added more Mossy Meadow Ink using the Small Blending Brush. I wrapped a piece of the Natural Tones Linen Thread (available in September) around the panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Smoky Slate, I stamped the double bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using the Balmy Blue and Watercolor Pencil for the birds and Crushed Curry Watercolor Pencil for the berries I cut the image out using the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. I adhered the birds to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the linen thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Earthtone Shimmer Gems (available in September) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White. I placed the die cut center panel on the top of the Basic White panel and added Mossy Meadow Ink using the Small Blending Brush. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the double bird image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Balmy Blue and Crushed Curry Watercolor Pencils. I used the center die cut panel again on the envelope flap and added Mossy Meadow Ink using the Small Blending Brush.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans do you have for the weekend? I’ll be working all day today and after work one of my cashiers invited all the employees to her house for a company picnic.

I have a quick and easy card for you today using a suite from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and new dies coming July 3rd from the Online Exclusives. 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! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 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 new Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Dies, that will be available starting July 3rd, for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to a Calypso Coral card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Calypso Coral using the largest die from the Greetings of the Season Dies. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the tag. I tied a small bow using White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack on the top of the tag. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dots to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Peach Pie Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel of Basic White to a Peach Pie mat then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops in Gray

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Here we are halfway through another week. Summer is in full spring here in NJ with the temps being in the 90’s again. I really don’t mind the heat, it’s when the humidity comes with it that I can’t breath. Yesterday was 92 and it was just beautiful out.

I have another sneak peek for you today of the products from the suite coming in the upcoming September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. 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! Winterly Tree Tops in Blackberry Bliss

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I had the Creativity Now event yesterday and I got a few sneak peeks at some things coming in the September – December 2024 Mini Catalog. I got to play with and make a few cards using a new suite too. Today I’ll be at work all day.

Today’s card is one of the cards I made yesterday with the new bundle coming in September. Of course, I had to change mine up a little from what the directions said.  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.

Here’s a little peek of the new suite coming in September and the products we used yesterday.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops in Blackberry Bliss 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Bundle along with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops in Blackberry Bliss 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Blackberry Bliss using the new Birch Wood EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake using the Birch Wood EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops in Blackberry Bliss 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped 3 of the sprigs and the double bird images from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Bronze, Ivory and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. Once I was done coloring the image, I went over it with the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to lighten the color. I cut the images out using the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. I adhered the sprigs to the back of the bird image using Glue Dots. I adhered the bird image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops in Blackberry Bliss 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Natural Tones Linen Thread (available in Sept) and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (available in Sept). to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops in Blackberry Bliss 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sprig image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the images using Bronze and Ivory Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops in Blackberry Bliss 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the double bird image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sprig image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope flap. I colored the images using Bronze, Ivory and Cherry Cobbler Stampin Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves Fun Fold

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!!! Does anyone have plans in the works today? I have a virtual event that I’ll be attending, Creativity Now, and we’ll be using a new suite of products that products will be available in the September – December 2024 Mini Catalog. I’ll be sharing the cards with you next week.

For today’s card I have a sneak peek at a new Online Exclusive bundle that will be available starting July 3rd. If you are interested in getting your hands on this bundle early, I can tell you how. Contact me at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com.  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! Changing Leaves Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! changing Leaves Bundle which is an Online Exclusive that will be available starting July 3rd. I also used the Full of Life 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and 2024-2026 In-Color Glimmer Specialty Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the folded portion of the Summer Splash card base together using Liquid Glue. I adhered the panels of Full of Life DSP to Pretty Peacock mats using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 layered panels to the Summer Splash card base using Liquid Glue. Using the Changing Leaves Dies, I cut the detailed leaves from a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color Glimmer Paper, solid leaves from a panel of Pretty Peacock and the sprigs from a panel of Basic White.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Summer Splash, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Changing Leaves Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and sprigs under the sentiment. I added a few Iridescent Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Changing Leaves in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the larger leaf image from Changing Leaves stamp set in Summer Splash on the side of the panel. I stamped the medium leaf from Changing Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Summer Splash card base.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf images from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Summer Splash and Pretty Peacock Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Full of Life DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Greatest Adventure Masculine Card

Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend and the middle of June. Can you believe we’re halfway through June already? I hope you have some plans in the works for the weekend. I’ll be at work all day today and I’m not sure what we will be doing tomorrow for Father’s Day. My husband said he wanted to make pizza, so that means I won’t have to cook, YAY!!!

I have a sneak peek for you today of a new Online Exclusive set that will be available to you starting in July. Now if you want to get your hands on these new Online Exclusives early, I’d be more than happy to talk to you about that. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Greatest Adventure Cling Stamp Set that will be available starting in July, along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper, Deckled Rectangle Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to a Boho Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the train image from the Greatest Adventure stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the 4th largest Deckled Rectangle Die. I stamped the sentiment from the Greatest Adventure stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink along the top of the die cut image.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Trucking Along stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the train image from the Greatest Adventure stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pebbled Path mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 6 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….
  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.

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.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky 5 creativestampungdesigns.com

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.
