On a panel of Basic White, stamp the pine bough image from the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. Cut the images out using the Pretty Poinsettia Dies. Cut the flower center from a scrap of Golden Glow Pearlized paper and adhere them to the center of the flower with a Glue Dot.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a nice weekend. It’s a rainy cool one here in NJ. Luckily my plans for the weekend are all inside. Today Tara and I will run our June Online Class. We always enjoy stamping with everyone that joins in.

I did a little emboss resist technique for today’s card. I haven’t done that in a while, and I thought the new background stamp coming with the July Online Exclusives was a perfect one to use for it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Foliage Stamp Set (available July 1), Stampin’ Up! Sending Salutations Stamp Set, Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper and the Circle Punches for my card today.

My sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #742

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the leaf image from Sweet Foliage stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Using the Blending Brush, go over the entire panel with Peaceful Pine Ink. Wipe gently with a tissue when you’ve added the amount of color you want, to take any ink off the embossed parts. Adhere the panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the front of the Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Flirty Flamingo under a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. Adhere the layered panel to the card front. Adhere a Floral Flight Accent to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White cut a circle using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. From a panel of Peaceful Pine cut a circle using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. From a panel of Flirty Flamingo cut a circle using the 2″ Circle Punch. Stamp the sentiment from the Sending Salutations stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the 1 3/4″ circle. Adhere the Basic White circle to the Peaceful Pine circle then to the Flirty Flamingo circle. Adhere the layered circles to the card front over the Floral Flight Accents with Stampin’ Dimensonals.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Sending Salutations stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the sentiment from Sending Salutations stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to the envelope flap.

Starting June 30, New Join Experience

Beginning June 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM MT, Stampin’ Up! is introducing a simplified join process designed to make joining faster and easier than ever before!  The new process will create a more streamlined experience when you join!

How the New Process Works

  • a coupon code to begin shopping.

About the Coupon Code

  • Valued at $125.
  • Coupon code can be applied to any demonstrator order.

  • Any amount above the coupon code value:
    • receives the demonstrator discount.

    • earns Stampin’ Rewards if it meets the qualifying purchase amount (as long as you’ve opted into the Stampin’ Rewards program).

Registration Open of our May One Sheet Wonder Online Class

Tara Carpenter and I are teaming up to offer a fun One Sheet Wonder Online Zoom Class.  We will be creating between 6-8 card fronts using a single 6 x 6 panel of Designer Series Paper.  This class is free with a $75 purchase(before tax & shipping and after rewards) from my Online Store.  

A week before the class I will send you the complete PDF of the cards so you can cut all your cardstock gather your supplies, so you are ready to go.  We will be cutting all the Designer Series Paper live.  Everyone’s cards will be unique since you will pick which color cardstock and DSP you want to use for each card.

The class will be held on Sunday May 17th from 1pm – 5pm Eastern Time via Zoom.  This will allow everyone all over the United States to participate live!  

I will email you the Zoom link to the class a few days before the event.
