Stampin’ Up! Changing Autumn Leaves

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the middle of July already. I feel like I just said happy July. I’m not sure where time is going lately. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? I worked, did some cleaning and attended out team meeting via zoom yesterday.

I have a quick CAS card for you today using some Online Exclusive products. 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! Changing Autumn Leaves 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Changing Leaves Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #644.

My colors are from The Color Throwdown Challenge #801. I really like these colors together; they give me a cozy feeling.

Stampin' Up! Changing Autumn Leaves 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze to the right side of a Crumb Cake panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Night of Navy next to the Cajun Craze panel using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Changing Autumn Leaves 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the layered panel using the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Changing Autumn Leaves 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the largest leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, next to the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Night of Navy Opal Round to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the largest leaf image from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, on the Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller leaf image from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to a Cajun Craze mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Market Goodness for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I hope you are starting to make some fun plans.

Today’s card I played with a whole suite collection. This is one that I wasn’t sure if I wanted or not. When I got the DSP for my shares I fell in love with it, but still wasn’t sure about the bundle. I really like the sentiments from it but wasn’t totally convinced yet. Then we had that additional 10% off sale last month and I decided to order it. I’m so happy I did, it’s so much fun to play with. 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.

Stamp the tomato stem image from the Market Goodness stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the tomatoes. Stamp the carrot and beet leaf images from the Market Goodness stamp set in Garden Green Ink on top of the carrots and beets. Stamp set solid lettuce image from the Market Goodness stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on top of the detailed lettuce image.

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through this HOT week and on our way to the weekend. It’s supposed to cool down here in NJ on Friday to the 80’s and then right back up to the upper 90’s next week. Hoe is it where you all live?

I have a quick card for you today playing with a new bundle that I just received. I did the Marker to Stamp technique 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! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I have to go into the office today for the end of the month paperwork. I’m hoping to get done quickly so I have the rest of the day to do what I want. Can you believe it’s the last day of June? I can’t. That means it’s also the last day to get the additional 10% off the Stamp & Dies Bundles.

Today’s card is another one that I made last Saturday at the Creativity Now event. This one was a lot of fun to make using the new suite that will be coming in September in the mini catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Bundle that will be available for purchase in September, along with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the center panel of the die cut from the card I made at the Creativity Now Event last Saturday. You can see that card Here. I placed the die cut panel on a panel of Basic White and using my Small Blending Brush I added Mossy Meadow Ink. I flipped the panel around and added more Mossy Meadow Ink using the Small Blending Brush. I wrapped a piece of the Natural Tones Linen Thread (available in September) around the panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Smoky Slate, I stamped the double bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using the Balmy Blue and Watercolor Pencil for the birds and Crushed Curry Watercolor Pencil for the berries I cut the image out using the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. I adhered the birds to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the linen thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Earthtone Shimmer Gems (available in September) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White. I placed the die cut center panel on the top of the Basic White panel and added Mossy Meadow Ink using the Small Blending Brush. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the double bird image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Balmy Blue and Crushed Curry Watercolor Pencils. I used the center die cut panel again on the envelope flap and added Mossy Meadow Ink using the Small Blending Brush.

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I can’t believe it’s the last weekend of June, which also means that the 10% off Stamp & Die Bundle sale is coming to an end. I hope you are grabbing those bundles while you can get the extra 10% off.

Today’s card I played with Online Exclusive products. These products are not featured in any catalogs, you can only fine them online. 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 for today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper for my Fun Fold card today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Flowering Zinnias DSP to Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the narrow-layered panel to the folded edge of a Melon Mambo card base using Liquid Gue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the larger layered panel to a Melon Mambo card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large zinnia image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the die cut flowers to the folded card front edge using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a few branches using the Simply Zinnia Dies from a panel of Lemon Lime Twist and adhered them behind the zinnias using Glue Dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the ends into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the narrow card front edge. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins t the card front.

I stamped the large flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Melon Mambo card base.

Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops in Gray

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Here we are halfway through another week. Summer is in full spring here in NJ with the temps being in the 90’s again. I really don’t mind the heat, it’s when the humidity comes with it that I can’t breath. Yesterday was 92 and it was just beautiful out.

Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We have started our heat wave here in NJ. It’s in the 90’s all week and I think I saw that one day we’re supposed to hit triple digits. I had one outside graduation yesterday and I have another one tonight.

Today’s card we made last Tuesday night at our Stamping Studio for our mystery stamping. We all made the same design, but they all looked different since we used different DSP and stamp sets. It’s so much fun to make and a lot easier that is looks. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! poised Peony Cling Stamp Set along with the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set, Online Exclusive Deckled Circles Dies and Fun Patterns Embossing Folder, for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring a Pretty Peacock card base in the center. I adhered a panel of Basic White to the card base using Stampin’ Seal. I scored the Basic White panel in the center using my Paper Trimmer. I stamped the sentiment from the Poised Peony stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top corner of the panel. I scored a panel of Petal Pink on the 2 sides and in the center. I folded the sides back and adhered a panel of Frames & Flowers DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I scored the DSP in the center using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the layered Petal Pink panel to the center of the Basic White panel lining up the score lines, using Tear & Tape on the ends.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Lost Lagoon using the 4th smallest die from the Deckled Circles Dies. I embossed the circle using the Fun Patterns EF. I scored the 1″ X 2″ panel in half at 1/2″. I cut the panel in half at 1″ so I had 2 1″ X 1″ scored at 1/2″. I folded them in half and adhered them to the back of the die cut circle and the layered Petal Pink panel using Tear & Tape. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the medium peony flower from the Poised Peony stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using Paper Snips. I adhered the flower to the die cut circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the 1/4″ Petal Pink Diagonal Trim and adhered it to the bottom of the flower using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the band, I scored both ends at 1/2″. I adhered a panel of Frames & Flowers DSP to the band using Stampin’ Seal. Using my Bone Folder I gave it a little curl on the back of the layered panel. I adhered the band to the bottom of the card base using Tear & Tape on the ends. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back I stamped the large peony flower on a panel of Basic White in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the back of the Pretty Peacock card base. On another panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the smallest flower from the Poised Peony stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the back of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium envelope. I stamped the medium peony flower from the Poised Peony stamp set on the envelope front in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Frames & Flowers 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! Sketched Butterflies

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!!! It’s supposed to be a beautiful one here in NJ. I’ll be working all day today, and I’m guessing with a beautiful day ahead it’s going to be crazy busy.

I have a super quick thank you card for you today. I’m trying to get some thank you cards done for my daughter. She has gotten some graduation gifts and asked me to make her a few cards. 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 for today

I tied a bow using the Basic Black Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Faceted Gems to the card front.

I stamped the cluster of butterflies image from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sentiment. I colored the butterflies using Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist and Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Daffodil Delight card base.

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. We’re almost to the weekend, YAY!!! Is anyone starting to make plans? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and we have our quarterly team meeting on Sunday.

I have a drapery fold card for you today using a couple of the new 2024-2026 In-Colors. 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 for today

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle, Unbounded Beauty DSP and Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Her is the template I used for the card front.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring an Unbounded Beauty DSP card front using the Simply Score. I folded the DSP making the 4″, 7″ & 10″ score lines mountain folds and the 3″, 6″ & 9″ scorelines valley folds. Once it was folded, I trimmed 1/4″ off the side using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the drapery card front to a Summer Splash mat using Liqui Glue.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Pretty In Pink 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around the top of the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Pretty in Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty in Pink Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut the flower out using the Flowers of Beauty Dies. I cut the 2 leaf dies using the Unbounded Love Dies from a panel of Summer Splash. I adhered the die cut leaves to the bottom of the panel using a Glue Dot. I adhered the flower on top of the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set on the panel of Basic White in Summer Splash Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outlined flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I stamped the solid flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Summer Splash mat then to the inside of the Pretty in Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower and leaf images from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

  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.
