Stampin’ Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You

Good Sunday afternoon stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Are you ready for the big game tonight? I’ll be in my craft studio trying to create some cards. I listen and watch for the commercials mainly, I’m not a big football fan and it’s not my husband’s team playing so it’ll be fairly quiet here.

Today’s card is a quick and easy one using a New Online Exclusive set coming in March and some Sale-a-bration items that are only available until February 29th or while supplies last. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sweetly Scripted Cling Stamp Set (available March 5) along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Softly Sophisticated Bundle and Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on Basic White card front. I embossed the panel using the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder. 

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the bottom of the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Sale-a-bration Pool Party 5/8″ Crinkled Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. 

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I added a few of the Sale-a-bration Opaque Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sale-a-bration Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticate Photopolymer Stamp Set in gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the larger flower image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flowers from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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! Perennial Postage Stenciled

Good Monday morning stamping friends and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Welcome to a new week, a new month and a New Year. Did everyone have a nice new year’s? What did you all do? We made a bunch of appetizers, watched a movie and just relaxed. My daughter is still recovering from covid, so it was a very quiet night. I spent a little time in my craft studio and thinking about some changes or resolutions I’d like to accomplish this year. Every year on New Year’s Day I clean, reorganize and rearrange my craft space. I’m not sure that is going to get done this year since I just moved into this space a few months ago.

I played with the new stencil from the upcoming catalog for today’s card. This time I used it without stamping first. 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! Perennial Postage Stencil 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! enduring Beauty Decorative Masks. Enduring Beauty Dies, (all available Jan 4) Deckled Rectangle Dies and Online Exclusive One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I cut another panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I started with #1 stencil form the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, using the Blending Brush, I added Poppy Parade Ink. Next, I used Lemon Lime Twist with the Blending Brush and Stencil #2. Stencil #3 I used the Blending Brush with Poppy Parade Ink again and Stencil #4 I used Lemon Lime Twist Ink with the Blending Brush again. Lastly, I used Stencil #5 with Pecan Pie Ink and the Blending Brush. I cut the image out using the Enduring Beauty Dies. I adhered the floral image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Enduring Beauty Dies. I adhered 1/8″ Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Pack, to the back of the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems (available Jan 4) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I adhered 2 thin strips of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to either side of the panel I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 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!!

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.

Tomorrow is the last day to Join my January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 15th.

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 – $15.00 plus $8.50 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 – $30 + $8.50 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.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker

Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend and Happy New Year’s Eves Eve. Hard to believe that another year has come to an end. Is anyone starting to make plans? We’ll be staying in as usual. My husband was supposed to have some friends over, but my daughter has covid so no visitors here. I’ll be working all day today and I have to go in tomorrow morning to close out for the month and year.

Since I missed yesterday’s fun fold Friday, I thought I would make kind of a fun fold. I actually lost track of the days this week and thought Wednesday was Tuesday and forgot to do my live. The holidays tend to do that to me sometimes, especially when it falls on a Monday. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card today, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set (available January4), along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies, Best Label Punch and the Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today. This DSP will be available free with a qualifying order of $50 or more starting January 4th.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Misty Moonlight using the 2nd largest die from the Deckled Circles Dies. I scored the circle in half and folded it to make the card base. I cut a panel of Flight & Airy DSP using the 3rd largest Deckled Circles Dies and cut the circle in half using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the cut panels of the DSP to the front and back of the Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered another panel of Flight & Airy DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the top of the card base using Liquid Glue, making sure to put the panel low enough so it would fit in the envelope. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the bird in using my Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils. I fussy cut the bird using Paper Snips. I adhered the bird to the top section of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small piece of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Best Label Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Tinsel Gems Three Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the cross-hash image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image with my Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card, and this set and DSP are on your wish list for the upcoming catalog starting in January.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Grateful

Good Sunday morning stamping friends and Merry Christmas Eve!! I hope you are getting the last of everything finished up and getting ready for the big day. To my surprise, I don’t have to work today, which I’m really happy about. I still have wrapping to do and I haven’t made the rice pudding yet. My mom always made it every year for Christmas and my husband got used to having it and loves it. So that will be the first thing on my list of things to do today. 

My card today uses a mix of new products coming in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and product from the Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Grateful 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set along with the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper both are from the upcoming mini catalog. I also used the Darling Details Dies for my card today.

The colors in my card were from the Global Design Project Challenge #425.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Grateful 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bee Mine DSP to a Basic Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White using the largest die from the Darling Details Dies. I adhered the die cut frame to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Grateful 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the center panel of the die cut, I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the top of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Grateful 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to the center of the frame on the card front using Liquid Glue. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots (available Jan 4) to the artwork.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Grateful 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Bee Mine DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Daffodil Delight mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Grateful 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Grateful 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card, and this set and DSP are on your wish list for the upcoming catalog starting in January. This is one of my favorites. Happy Stamping!!

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 15th.

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 – $15.00 plus $8.50 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):

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends 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 Karen’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. I have to admit, this sketch was a real challenge for me this week. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both of these items will be available starting January 4th.

Here is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Flight & Airy DSP card front on a diagonal. I cut 1″ down on the right side to 1″ up on the left side. I cut the Calypso Coral mat 1 1/4″ up from the bottom left to 2 1/2″ down from the top right on an angle. I adhered the 2 pieces of DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Liquid Glue. 

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Versamark Ink on the Calypso Coral mat. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the layered panels to a Boho Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 4 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.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Notes of Nature

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Well, there are only 5 more sleeps until Christmas. I’ll be going out shopping with my daughter today after I’m done with work, and she’s done with her last final exam. We’re heading to a quaint little town with all kinds of little shops. It’s supposed to be a sunny cool day, so it’ll be nice walking around the town. I’m hoping to get whatever else I need today so that I can get things wrapped. I’m going to be playing it close since I have to work the next 5 days and I don’t have my normal time off.

I played with a new suite from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog for today’s card. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Try Stampin’ on Tuesday Challenge #637.

It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th.

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!

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

January – April 2024 Mini Catalog and Sale-a-bration Coming Soon

With the Retiring List posted and the Last Chance Sale going on that means a new catalog will be arriving soon. Are you a current customer of mine? If you have placed an order with me in the past year of $50 or more, you will automatically be receiving a copy of the catalogs as soon as I receive them. I’ll be ordering them the beginning of December and will ship them out to you as soon as I get them.

If you are not a customer of mine and would like to be, place an order from my Online Store and a catalog will be on its way to you as soon as I receive them. If you are not sure, please feel free to drop me a line at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I will be happy to let you know.
