Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony

Posted on November 26, 2025 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends, Happy Thanksgiving Eve. Today’s the day for me to do all the prepping for our dinner tomorrow. I’ll be making my pies and cutting up veggies to get a head start. I’ll be getting up bright and early to get started making my pumpkin crescent rolls tomorrow morning. They take 3 risings at about 2 hours each, so I need to get the messy part over so they can do their thing in a warm place. Up until yesterday I forgot all about making them and that’s one thing my family won’t let me forget. I actually have to triple the recipe they love them that much.

I have a sneak peek for you today at some products coming in January 2026. If you’re one of my customers, you’ll be getting hat catalog in your hands real soon. 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! Amber Autumn Sunflower for Fun Fold Friday.

Posted on October 24, 2025 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week. Amy and I arrived in GA yesterday for our retreat. We headed to Mary’s and then drove with Mary and Janet up to the cabin. The fun started immediately when everyone started to arrive. It was so exciting seeing everyone again. Once we all got unpacked, we set up our stations in the craft room. Everyone was passing out their little gifts to each other and the chatting and laughing began. Before we knew it, it was time for a delicious dinner of Beef Lasagna, Roasted Broccoli, Lemon-Garlic Grilled Zucchini, Honey-Garlic-Siracha Cauliflower and of course Garlic Bread. We had an amazing Creme Brulé for dessert. We sat around the table for a few hours after dinner and laughed till our sides were aching.

I have a quick fun fold card for you today focusing mainly on the embossing folder. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn Sunflower 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Cling Stamp Set along with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper and Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn Sunflower 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss 2 panels of the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper using the Sunflower EF. Adhere the embossed panels to the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn Sunflower 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Wrap a Basic Beige belly band around the card and adhere the ends in the front. Wrap a piece of Old Olive Linen Thread around the belly band 3 times and tie a bow. Stamp the sentiment on a panel of Basic Beige in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Bronze Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch, cut a panel of the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Adhere the sentiment to the Metallic mat then to the belly band. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems to the card front.

October Delicate Pines Online Holiday/Winter Card Class Registration Open NOW

Tara Carpenter and I are teaming up to offer another fun online class using Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Delicate Pines Bundle along with the Snowflake Kisses Bundle and Elegant Pines DSP. We will be creating 6 different Holiday/Winter cards during the class including 2 Beginner Stamper cards, 2 Casual Stamper Cards and 2 Advanced Stamper Cards. Click Here to Reserve Your Spot

Stampin’ Up! Iridescent Foil Gems (full pack)
Stampin’ Up! Secret Sea 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon (full pack)
Pre-cut card kits to complete each card
Zoom class with complete instructions to complete each card

During sign up you will have the option to add additional items to your order that you can take advantage of at no additional shipping cost. These items are optional, however if you want to recreate the cards you will need them. If you’ve attended a previous class, you were given a discount code, there is a spot to put that code on the form and the discount only applies to the products that you check off that you wish to purchase, not the class. Since the Bundles are already discounted, the discount does not apply to them either.

The class will be held Sunday October 19th (this is a week earlier than our normal classes due to Tara and I attending our yearly retreat) from 1 to 4 pm Eastern Time via Zoom. This allows anyone in the United States to participate live! Can’t join us live… no worries, we will record the session so it can be replayed at any time.

I will email written directions that will include directions, cardstock cuts as well as photos to help you create each card.

The bundles are not included in the price of the class. You can purchase the bundle through me at an additional 10% discount of the Online Exclusive price (see below).

Class Cost $35 + $10 (Priority Shipping)

Additional purchased items will be included in the above shipping price. I will invoice you through PayPal and invoices must be paid by October 5th to insure I can get the products delivered, packaged up and out to you with enough time.

Deadline: Sunday October 5th

Click Here to Register for our October Class. Let me know if you have any questions.
