Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are ready for the weekend and hopefully some of you have an extra-long one. I’ll be working all day tomorrow,1st of the month and I need to get the bills done and mailed out. With any luck I’ll be done by 2 and have the rest of the day for myself.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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 link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bridge Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Suite Collection for my fun fold card today. This suite of products will be available as an Online Exclusive starting July 6th.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bridge Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding the Night of Navy card base as stated below. I adhered the 4 – 1 1/8″ X 4″ panels of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the 4 coordinating Petal Pink mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 2 1/2″ X 4″ panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the Petal Pink mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card base. I adhered the 1″ X 5 1/4″ panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the Petal Pink mat. I adhered the layered panel to the panel of Misty Moonlight using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bridge Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the horse & sleigh image from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using boho Blue, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. Using the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I cut the runners and swish die from a panel of Wild Wheat, and I cut a tree from a panel of Crumb Cake. I adhered the runners and swish to the sleigh using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tree to the bridge section of the card using a Glue Dot. I adhered the horse & sleigh to the bridge section using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bridge to the card base using Tear & Tape.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment form the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

I stamped the pine tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the side of the panel. I colored the tree trunk using the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the back of the Night of Navy card base.

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.

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! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I worked all day Saturday but had Sunday off. I was able to catch up on a workshop I had signed up for with Stampin’ Up! It was live on Saturday, but we are able to access the link until July. I was excited to see what they did with the bundle that will be available to customers in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. We also got a sneak peek at Online Exclusive products that will be available July 6th. These workshops are one of the perks of being a demonstrator. There’s information below if you would like to join and be on my team, I’d love for you to join me.

Today’s card is one of the cards from the Creativity Now Workshop. This one was the first card, but the advanced version. Of course, I made a few tweaks to make it my own. I’ll be posting the ‘CAS’ version tomorrow. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Bubble Bath card bae using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink next to the large flower. I stamped the stems and leave from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the panel using the 2nd & 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies, cutting them at the same time. I adhered the die cut panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Vellum Paper, I stamped the large flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink, the medium flower image in Lemon Lolly Ink and the double leaf image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the artwork using Glue Dots, off centering them slightly.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered a piece of Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Translucent Florals stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I stamped the small flower by the sentiment in Bubble Bath Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Birthday Fun Fold

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend already. This month is flying by quickly.

Today’s card I have a sneak peek for you of a bundle coming in the September – December 2023 Mini Catalog. We had our team stamping studio last night and did some mystery stamping at the end. This is what I came up with from Jaimie’s directions.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle which will be available starting in September from the Mini Catalog along with the Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my tissue box card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring the 2 – 4 1/4″ X 5″ panels of Pretty Peacock cardstock along the 5″ side every inch. Using Tear & Tape, I adhered the ends together making 2 boxes. I adhered the 2 boxes together using Tear & Tape just on the ends of the boxes. I adhered the 4 pieces of Glorious Gingham DSP on the 2 sides and top of the boxes.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the larger flower from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I stamped the sprig image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink 3 times and the leaf image 2 times in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut all the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies along with the stem die from a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I cut the largest circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the circle twice. I adhered the stems using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers and leaves on the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs behind the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tiny flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink in the corners. I adhered the sentiment to ta Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card base blocks using Glue Dots. I wrapped a piece of Bubble Bath 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack around the front box and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, I cut out another one of the largest circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the circle. I stamped the larger floral image in Bubble Bath Ink and the sprig image in Lemon Lolly Ink. I adhered the circle to the front circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and inserted it between the 2 boxes using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and floral images from the Translucent Florals stamp set on the envelope front in Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Inks. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew 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 Karen’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Summer”. We can interpret this however we want. I have a sneak peek for you of a set that’s coming to the Online Exclusives on July 6th. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm Cling Stamp Set (available July 6th), along with the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from the Paper Players Challenge #644.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic Whtie using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Charm stamp set on either side of the flower in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink next to the flower, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf image on the envelope flap in Lost Lagoon Ink some full strength and some stamped off once on scrap paper.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 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….
  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.

Today’s card is a bundle coming in the new catalog. I played with it last week and had to play with it again. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Lazy Days 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days Bundle (available May 2nd) along with the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (available May 2nd) for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Lazy Days 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the floor image from the Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink (available May 2nd) on the bottom front or a Thick Basic White card base. Using the Lazy Days Dies, I cut the trellis and 3 railing dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the die cut pieces to a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I trimmed off the excess using my Paper Snips. I adhered the panel to the front of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Lazy Days 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the rocking chair and table images from the Lazy Days stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the hanging plant image from the Lazy Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Lazy Days Dies. I colored the glasses on the table using Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers (available May 2nd). I colored the planter using Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the hanging plant leaves from the Lazy Days Dies, 2 from Granny Apple Green and 1 from Garden Green. I adhered the rocking chair and table to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the hanging plant using Glue Dots and the leaves Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Lazy Days 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Lazy Days stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lazy Days 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Lazy Days stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the chair from the Lazy Days stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the hanging plant on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Azure Afternoon mat then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies in Wild Wheat

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? We had a lot of rain again, but it cleared up Sunday and turned out to be a beautiful day. It was still too muddy in my yard to do work, so I took a nice long walk with my puppy.

I played with a bundle from the upcoming 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I really like this bundle and love the DSP that goes with it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Little Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Bundle (available May 2nd) along with the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set and Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (available May 2nd) for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #582.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Little Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Garden Green mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Wild Wheat (available May 2nd) card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP. I adhered the die cut circle to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Little Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the daisy image from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink 2 times. I stamped the leaf image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Garden Green Ink 3 times. I cut the images out using the Cheerful Daisies Dies. I cut 2 of the detailed daisy die from the panel of Basic White using the Cheerful Daisies Dies. I cut the 4th from the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies form a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock. I stamped the daisy centers on the die cut daisies in Lemon Lolly Ink (available May 2nd). I adhered the detailed daisy die cuts to the stamped die cut daisies using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the stem image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the small die cut circle. I adhered one of the daisies and 2 of the leaves to the stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the circle to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Little Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Little Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the stem image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the other die cut daisy and leaf to the stem. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Little Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem and leaves from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the daisy in Wild Wheat Ink and the daisy center in Lemon Lolly Ink. I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Little Hello 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!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:    XMVFTAU4

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 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog!  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.

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

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! Crafting With You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going as planned. I’m off today, but I’m not sure yet what I’ll be doing. I may tackle another one of my gardens if it’s nice enough out.

Today I played with another bundle that will be coming in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. This one I had a lot of fun playing with. There are images and dies for things I use every day to make my cards along with other crafting items. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Bundle along with the new Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and some of the new colors coming soon. All the items used for today’s card will be available starting May 2nd from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Lemon Lime Twist mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered another panel of the Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Lemon Lime Twist mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the larger layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front panel to a Berry Burst card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 3rd largest die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the right side. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine image from the Crafting With You stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the image out using the Crafting With You Dies.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Crafting With You Dies, I cut the paper trimmer and ruler from a panel of Gray Granite cardstock. I cut the scissors from a panel of Silver Foil and Basic Black cardstock. I snipped the scissor handles off the Basic Black die and adhered them to the Silver Foil die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I put the scissors together using a Glue Dot. I added a Festive Pearl in the center of the scissors. I fed a piece of Bright & Beautiful DSP through the trimmer. I adhered the cutting blade die to the trimmer using a Glue Dot. I adhered the ruler die to the trimmer die using a Glue Dot. I adhered all the die cut images to the sentiment panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a piece of the Lemon Lime Twist 1/8″ Ribbon from the Ribbon Combo Duo to the top of the panel using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Crafting With You stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Bright & Beautiful DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat then to the inside of the Berry Burst card base.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine image from the Crafting With You stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days Thanks

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be at work all day today, but I do have off tomorrow.

I played with a new bundle for today’s card. I liked this one when I saw it, but wasn’t sure if I was going to get it. Well I did, and I had fun playing with it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Lazy Days Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days Bundle (available May 2nd) along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set and Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Lazy Days Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to a Lost Lagoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock using the 3rd largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the trellis image from the Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pool Party Ink along the top of the panel. I stamped the carpet image from the Lazy Days stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the rocking chair and potted plant images from the Lazy Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Lazy Days Dies. I adhered the rocking chair and potted plant to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Petal Pink cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Lazy Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. From the same panel of Petal Pink, I cut the pillow die from the Lazy Days Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the pillow to the rocking chair using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

I stamped the trellis image from the Lazy Days stamp set along the top of the panel in Pool Party Ink. I stamped the potted plant from the Lazy Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Gray Granite and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rocking chair and potted plant images from the Lazy Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front.

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! Cheerful Daisies Pink Birthday

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Did everyone get their taxes in yesterday? My son was the last in our house to file. I’m so happy that’s done till next year. I hope you are going to take advantage of the FREE SHIPPING today. Details below.

I have another quick and easy card using some new DSP. I’m kind of addicted to this pack so far. It is just gorgeous, I hope you have it on your want list. My card also has a lot of layers today, I just love cards with layers. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisy Pink Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisy Pink Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Moody Mauve 3/8″ Textured Ribbon around the panel and tied a knot. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the bottom of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisy Pink Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Bubble Bath card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisy Pink Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisy Pink Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium daisy outline image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set on the top and bottom of the panel in Moody Mauve Ink. I stamped the medium daisy solid image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink over the outlined images. I stamped the flower center image in Lemon Lolly Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the daisies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisy Pink Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium daisy outline image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the solid daisy image in Bubble Bath Ink over the outlined images. I stamped the flower centers in Lemon Lolly Ink.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Friendship

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? We had our team meeting yesterday then I got to spend some time stamping. I did go outside in the morning to trim a couple bushes that were bothering me.

I have a speedy quick card for you today using new products. I let the DSP do most of the work for me. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Friendship 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper and a new In-Color, Wild Wheat.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Friendship 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Fresh As A Daisy DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Friendship 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack around the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Wild Wheat card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Friendship 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Early Espresso cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment over the baker’s twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies and a Dragonfly Trinket to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Friendship 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the half daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the flower centers in Early Espresso Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base.

I stamped the stem and flower center images from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the daisies.

Price Changes Coming With The 2023-2024 Annual Catalog

Stampin’ Up! let us know that some of the items in the new catalog will have higher prices when the catalog is launched on May 2.  The prices for all items that are carrying over will continue to be the current catalog prices through May 1.  So now is a great time to stock up on any favorites before the price increases happen in early May!  We have not been told any specifics on the amount that the prices will increase but we have been given a list of items that will increase in price with the new catalog.
