Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Sympathy

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well. Our town is hopping again today, there is a street fair going on so roads into town are closed again. I’ve lived in this town now for 34 years and I think I’ve been to this street fair once. Today I’ll be heading up to my team leader Amy’s for our in person quarterly meeting. I’m looking forward to seeing other team members in person and via zoom. I’m excited to be stamping with them too. I always look forward to stamping with others, I don’t mind stamping alone, but sometimes it’s fun to be sitting and chatting with others while creating. We’ll be making baby cards which I’ll be sharing through the next week.

My card today could be a sympathy card, a get well or just a card of encouragement. I like to have them on hand, just in case. Also, the ladies where I get my hair cut asked me to bring in cards for them to buy and they specified they needed sympathy. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Gorgeously Made Dies and Petal Patterns Dies for my card today.

My colors are from the TGIF Challenge #423.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a adhesive sheet to the back of a panel of Smoky Slate and cutting the panel with the detail die of Petal Patterns Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to a Smoky Slate card base.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Gorgeously Made Dies, I cut panels of Calypso Coral and Lemon Lime Twist. I adhered the Calypso Coral die cut panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 2 leaf die cut panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I trimmed the excess stem using Paper Snips.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the sentiment using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the branch image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set above the sentiment in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on the branch. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the branch image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf image from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on the branch images.

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! Bamboo Beauty CAS

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’ve hit the halfway mark of the week already and on our way to the weekend.

Last night was my Stamp Camp Card Class, which is always a lot of fun. Today’s card is the 1st one we made using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty Cling Stamp Set along with the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Subtle DSP to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I took a panel of Basic White cardstock and using Masking Paper, I sectioned off the card front. Using my Blending Brush, I added Sahara Sand Ink on the sectioned portion. Once I had the amount of color I wanted, I removed the Masking Paper.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the 2 bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set on the panel in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set randomly on the bamboo in Pear Pizzazz Ink.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the card front to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock. I stamped the thinner bamboo and leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of Subtle DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base.

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to take some time for yourself.

Today’s card is one of those that we don’t like to make, but sometimes just have to. A sympathy card. I made it very clean and simple using only Stamps, Ink and Paper. Ok, I did add a couple embellishments too. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I was inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #732 for my colors.

I started by taping off a panel of Shimmer White cardstock using Post-It Note tape. I made a mat with a Post-It Note with a small circle in the center. I added a little So Saffron Ink to make a sun. Then using my Blending Brushes starting from the top I added Tahitian Tide then So Saffron, Calypso Coral and Night of Navy on the bottom.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the larger border image from the Decorative Borders stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the brushed panel. I stamped the stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Night of Navy Ink next to the floral image. I then removed the Post-It tape.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Sympathy

Good Monday morning my stamping friends and welcome to August. I can’t believe I’m saying that. This means that this is the last month of Sale-a-bration and things are selling out. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do something fun.

Today’s card is one of those cards you don’t want to make, but sometimes you just have to. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! forever Fern Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #703.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #546 – A Sketch by Amy.

Stampin' Up! forever Fern Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using a Post-It note that I cut a circle using the Layered Circles Dies and adhered it to a Very Vanilla card front. Using my Blending Brush, I added Crumb Cake Ink inside the circle. Before removing the mask, I stamped the leaf image from the Forever Fern stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink.

Stampin' Up! forever Fern Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using another Post-It note and a smaller die from the Layering Circles Dies, I adhered it on the bottom and added Balmy Blue Ink using my Blending Brush. I moved the Post-It note to the top and added Balmy Blue Ink again using my Blending Brush.

Stampin' Up! forever Fern Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the top of the panel. I added a small bow with a Glue Dot using Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. I adhered the card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! forever Fern Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Forever Fern stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on both sides of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Crumb Cake mat and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! forever Fern Sympathy 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Forever Fern stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s HOT here. We’re supposed to be in the 100’s today. The ‘feel like’ temp for the past week has been over 100 every day. My son has been coming home from work exhausted. He’s a soccer coach and has been outside in the sun for the past week at camps. He brings gallons of water with him and picks up Gatorade or Powerade drinks too. The good thing about the heat we’re having, my tomatoes are ripening, I was able to have my 1st tomato sandwich of the season yesterday and it was delicious.

Today I have a really quick CAS card for you using a new set I just received from the July-December Mini Catalog. I looked over this set at first, but I have to admit, I LOVE it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #702.

I got my CAS design from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #545.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty CAS2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the leaf image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in So Saffron Ink over the leaf image. I randomly stamped the geometric image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Pool Party Ink around the outside of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty CAS3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the stamped panel into 1 1/2″ strips and adhered them to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty CAS4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings in Crumb Cake Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty CAS5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set on the side of the panel in Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron Inks. I stamped the geometric image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty CAS6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set on the envelope front in Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron Inks. I stamped the geometric design from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers CAS Thinking of You

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? Tonight, is my Stamp Camp Card Class. I look forward to this every month with getting together with the ladies. We have 2 new ladies joining us tonight and I’m looking forward to meeting them and learning their style of stamping.

Today’s CAS card is one that we will be making tonight. I’m trying to keep it fairly simple tonight since I have 6 ladies coming and don’t know what level they are all at. Everyone will be making this card, but they will color the flowers in whatever color they would like to. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large flower image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Daffodil Delight, Orchid Oasis, Soft Succulent and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel.

I embossed the panel using the Into The Clouds Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Orchid Oasis card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller floral image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Daffodil Delight, Orchid Oasis, Soft Succulent and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Orchid Oasis mat and then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Daffodil Delight, Orchid Oasis, Soft Succulent and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of 2022-2024 6 X 6 In-Color Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my CAS card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Sympathy

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How is everyone doing today? Are you ready for the weekend? I’ll be working both days this weekend.

Sorry I missed my Facebook Live on Wednesday, I ended up at work until after 4pm. Everything was cleaned up and all the work got done as planned, but whatever could go wrong did. Today’s card is not the one I was going to make on Wednesday, I just made a real quick one for today. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Cling Stamp Set along with the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set (available July 1) for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding an Evening Evergreen card base. I folded the card base in half and then folded the front half back to make a Z-fold card.

I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to a Soft Sea Foam mat. I adhered the layered panel to the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the bottom of the panel. I cut the panel using the 5rh largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink overlapping the fern. I embossed the panel using my Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, only on the left half. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base. I cut a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the 5th largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card base, lining it up with the card front so that you can’t see it when the card is closed.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set in Soft Sea Form Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my fun fold and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Oceanfront Sympathy

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Happy June!! Here we go starting another month and I feel like I’ve missed most of May. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. It’s supposed to cool off a little here over the next few days. When I got in my car yesterday to fun some errands, the temp said it was 101. That was with my card in the shade. I believe today is only supposed to hit 75 out.

Today’s card is one of those cards you don’t really like to make, but at times have to. Someone very dear and close to me passed over the weekend. I have so many wonderful memories from my childhood. My uncle was a wonderful man, caring and generous. Our families used to go on vacation together every summer for 2-3weeks. We’d laugh till our sides hurt. He will be missed but will always be in my heart. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Oceanfront Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by stamping the wheat grass and sand images from the Oceanfront stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Sahara Sand card front. I embossed the card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Sahara Sand card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, using the Oceanfront stamp set, I stamped the top of the panel with Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the center image with Coastal Cabana Ink and the bottom image in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the wheat grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink and the small grass image in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Photopolymer Stamp Set on the top of the panel in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the panel using the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered the stamped panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink. Using my Banner Pick A Punch I cut the end of the strip. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Faux Sea Glass Shapes along the water edge.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink along the bottom of the panel. I stamped the wheat grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the wheat grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom of the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Sympathy

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend is going well. I’ll be at work all day today and it’s supposed to be a little warmer and rain, but this is NJ we’ll see what happens lol. Yesterday I actually had the day to myself, which is surprising for a weekend. My husband went in one direction, my daughter another and my son another, so it was just me and Jasmine, my dog. I was able to get a few things done, like update my retired list of items that I’m selling. You can see the new items that I added HERE, or by going to my blog at creativestampingdesigns.com and clicking on the top where it says Retirement Sale List. I had a bit of crafters block, so I wasn’t able to get cards done like I planned, but at least it wasn’t a wasted day lol.

Today’s card is another one we made at my class on Tuesday using the 2020-2022 In-Colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set and the 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by adhering a panel of the Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base. I embossed a panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 2 of the largest detail butterflies from a panel of Vellum Paper using the Brillant Wings Dies. I adhered them under the Cinnamon Cider panel using Glue Dots on the wing that was tucked under the panel only. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Bumblebee Ink. I cut the butterfly out using my Brilliant Wings Dies.

I adhered the stamped butterfly image to the card front on the Cinnamon Cider panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Messages Dies and adhered it over the butterfly using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the ends. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Bumblebee Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large butterfly from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
