Stampin’ Up! Everyday Greetings

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. Last I saw, it’s supposed to be a rainy one here in NJ.

On Tuesday we had out monthly Stamping Studio where we do some Mystery stamping. I was having a real issue with what we were supposed to do, and I cut up multiple pieces of DSP. I didn’t want to waste it, so I made today’s card with one of the miscut pieces. I played with an Online Exclusive set for my card today. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Everyday Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by cutting a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP into sections using the Paper Trimmer. I cut the panel on a diagonal from corner to corner then cut the 2 pieces in half. Adhere the pieces of DSP to a Moody Mauve mat using Liquid Glue leaving a small space between them. Adhere the layered panel to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Moody Mauve, stamp the sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment into a banner using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a few of the Woven Golden Leaves (available Sept 4th) using Glue Dots on the bottom of the card front. Adhere the sentiment over the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a small bow using the Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ Satin Ribbon (available Sept 4). Adhered the bow next to the sentiment on top of the leaves using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic Whie. Adhere 2 strips of Splendid Autumn DSP to the top and bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic Whtie panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the sentiments from the Everyday Greetings stamp set in the envelope front in Cherry Cobbler Ink. Adhered a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Greetings 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Latte Love with Panels

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a stormy one here in NJ. We had an outdoor concert Saturday night to go to. We figured we’d take a chance, maybe it wouldn’t be raining where we were going. I was wrong!! We sat in the card waiting for it to let up, the concert first got delayed an hour. When it got closer to the time the doors were opening, I said no way, the lightning got worse, so we headed home. After delaying it another 1/2 hour and more storms rolling through, they decided to postpone it at 10pm. At least we’re not out the money now.

I played with an Online Exclusive Suite Collection for today’s card. I don’t drink coffee, but I know people that do, and I like to make my cards geared to what the recipients like. Besides, this could be hot cocoa or tea. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love with Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive A Little Latte Suite Collection for my card today. It includes the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Bundle and A Little Latte Designer Series Paper. I just love this DSP.

My design in from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #647.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love with Panels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere 3 panels of A Little Latte DSP to a Pecan Pie mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love with Panels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Latte Love with Panels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia in Pinks

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Well, we’re at the end of another month, which means we’re at the end of Bonus Days. I hope you have all your bonus codes saved up to use next month. I went outside yesterday to do a little weeding, trimming and looking for inspiration. Sometimes I just need help coming up with ideas for cards. Since it was so hot and humid, all the weeding and trimming got me was sweaty.

While I was outside weeding and trimming, I was looking at all my flowers and came up with an idea for today’s card.  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! Simply Zinnia in Pinks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle along with the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and Berry Burst, Old Olive and White Glimmer Specialty Paper for my card today. My inspiration came from the pictures below. This was the first time I planted zinnias and I’m loving them.

Stampin ' Up! Simply Zinnia in Pinks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a Flowering Zinnias DSP banner to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin ' Up! Simply Zinnia in Pinks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the single flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink 3 times. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set on the Basic White panel 3 times in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I cut the branch die from the Simply Zinnia Dies from a panel of Old Olive Glimmer Specialty Paper. I adhered the flowers together using Glue Dots. I adhered the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and glimmer branches under the flowers using Glue Dots.

Stampin ' Up! Simply Zinnia in Pinks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Old Olive, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front across the flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends and Liquid Glue in the center. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

Stampin ' Up! Simply Zinnia in Pinks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the ‘sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the single flower image and leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, and Pretty In Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin ' Up! Simply Zinnia in Pinks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower image and leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Has anyone made any plans yet? I’ll be at work all day today. I had a very productive day yesterday (not in my craft studio though). I trimmed some plants & weeded outside, picked tomatoes and jalapeño peppers, did lots of laundry, cleaned and finished decorating my house for summer (I know, we’re a month in already). By last night I felt like I accomplished everything I wanted to except making cards for the week. Cards will be on tomorrow’s agenda. I might even lock myself in my card studio LOL.

I played with an older set for today’s card. I don’t know about you, but I stand in front of my stamp sets and always seem to pull the same sets out. Today I used one that I haven’t played with in a while. 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! Wildly Flowering Designs

Good Tuesday afternoon stamping friends. How are you all doing today? We haven’t melted here in NJ yet but getting close. Last I saw we’re in the triple digits here today with 1000% humidity. I’m staying in as much as possible. I’m convinced that Coraline understands when I say things to my daughter. We got home later than expected last night and it was getting dark. We decided that we were going to get up early to go out and water all my plants. At 5am, Cora started wining to come out of her crate, so that was my que to get up and go out to water. I was so happy I did because by 7am I couldn’t breathe outside.

I have a super quick card for you today using an entire suite from the annual catalog. 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! Wildflower Designs Mauve 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildly Flowering Designs Suite Collection for my card today. It includes the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Bundle, Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper and Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder.

My design is from TGIF Sketch Challenge #481

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP using the Dashing Designs EF. I adhered the embossed panel to an Early Espresso card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a small panel of Misty Moonlight using the Wildflower Designs Dies. I adhered the scalloped strip to the back of the small, layered panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the small splotch image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 2 times, around the sentiment. I cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basi White, I stamped the sentiment from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink around the sentiment, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper first. I embossed a strip of Wildly Flowering DSP using the Dashing Designs EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Mauve 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink around the image.

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.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen
