Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? Does anyone have plans for Easter Sunday yet?

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Bundle and Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both items will be available starting May 1st. If you’d like to get this beautiful DSP and awesome bundle early, you can add it to a starter kit starting on April 2nd. Contact me and I’ll tell you how.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the 4 smaller panels of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the 4 Petunia Pop mats (available May 1st) using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4 layered panels to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the longer panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the longer Petunia Pop mat then to a panel of Pool Party using Liquid Glue and set it aside. 

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink along the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the leaf image. On a small panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the Basic White panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the center of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Journey stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I colored the image using the Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut the image out using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. From panels of Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop, I cut the stand along flower die from the Thoughtful Wishes Dies. I snipped the flowers off the Petunia Pop die using Paper Snips and adhered them to the Lost Lagoon die using Liquid Glue. Using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies, I cut the branch die from a panel of Wild Wheat. I adhered the 3 die cut pieces to the right side of the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered bridge panel to the Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue only on the ends.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set by added ink to the stamp using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Write Markers. I huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamped it on the side of the Basic White panel. I colored the leaves in using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the thistle image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the back of the Pool Party card base. I stamped the splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes in Pool Party Ink on the back panels of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the row of flowers image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope front in Pebbled Path Ink. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the thistle image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the envelope flap, inking the stamp the same as I did for the card back. I stamped the splotch image around the flowers and leaves in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper.

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! Inked & Tiled for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the soon to retire Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set and Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Lost Lagoon and Inked Botanicals DSP using the 4th largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 die cut panels together using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I fussy cut the leaf using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment form the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends. I adhered the fussy cut leaf to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I inked up the tall flower stamp using Crushed Curry and Lost Lagon Stampin’ Write Markers. I huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamped the flower on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the envelope front inking it up the same as I did for the inside of the card. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink over the flower image stem. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Yesterday was a real washout here in NJ. It rained from 2am till about 4pm and three were floods everywhere. It was a perfect day to stay in and craft, but unfortunately I had to go to work. Today is supposed to be sunny, we’ll see what happens.

I have a sneak peek for you today of a gorgeous set coming in the 2024-2o25 Annual Catalog. This set comes as a bundle, but I only used the stamp set. 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! Layers Of Beauty CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set which will be available starting May 1st, along with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom of the 4″ X 5 1/4″ card front panel. I embossed the panel using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Liquid Glue then to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I embossed the smaller Basic White panel using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the Misty Moonlight panel to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the multi-layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the top of the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia CAS

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How are you all doing today. Yesterday was a tough day at work for me after the long weekend away. I need to get caught up on some sleep.

Today’s card is similar to one that we made at our team meeting last Sunday using Online Exclusive products but stepped up a little with extra layers. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper along with the All That Dies for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered another panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the All That Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 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 Whtie. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Inks on the side of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias 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! Simply Zinnia for my Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are all starting to make plans for the weekend. I’m here in Houston TX for our Stampin’ Up! OnStage Event. Last night was so much fun stamping with friends and getting our 1st new bundle from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I’m so excited to see what they have for us today. Our days here are starting early and ending late, but well worth it.

Today’s card is one that we made at our team meeting on Sunday. This card was designed by Carol Buckelew using Online Exclusive products. Here’s my card for today.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper along with the Perennial Postage Dies for my card today.

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

I started by adhering panels of Flowering Zinnias DSP to Daffodil Delight mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

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

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the single zinnia from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather and Pumpkin Pie Inks. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Old Olive Ink 3 times. I cut all the images out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored each of the flowers and leaves with the coordinating Stampin’ Blends Markers and the flower centers using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Old Olive Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Perennial Postage Dies. I cut a panel of Berry Burst using the next largest Perennial Postage Die. I adhered the sentiment to the Berry Burst mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the flowers and leaves around the sentiment using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the other 2 panels of Flowering Zinnias DSP to Daffodil Delight mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the back panels of the card base using Liquid Glue. I kept the back inner panel very simple by just stamping the single zinnia image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Old Olive Ink by the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Daffodil Delight mat then to the back of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single zinnia from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Old Olive Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. By the time you are reading this I will be flying to Houston TX for our Stampin’ Up! Onstage Event. I can’t wait to get there to meet up with all my team members. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. I kind of turned and flipped the sketch for my 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 is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Cling Stamp Set and the Artistic Dies for my card today. I also used the Everyday Details Dies to make a mat to color the circle.

Here is our sketch for this week.

My colors are from the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #532.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the largest circle die from the Everyday Details Dies from a scrap paper. I placed the cut paper over a Basic White card front and using my Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink towards the top of the circle. I adhered the layered panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Artistic Dies, I cut the leaf die from a panel of Old Olive. I adhered the die cut leaves to the card front using Liquid Glue. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped 2 more of the flowers in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Old Olive Ink by the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Old Olive Ink next to the flowers.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you all remember to spring ahead with your clocks. Most of ours do it on their own, so I only had a couple to take care of. It poured here in NJ yesterday and last night. I’m just so tired of all the rain. I have hydrangeas all around my home. One of the one’s in my backyard is not surviving all the rain, I’m going to have to try to save it by transplanting it to dryer grounds. My backyard is a giant sponge.

Today I have a super simple quick and easy card for you using some Online Exclusive products. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set along with the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP using the Zinnia EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I tied a small bow using the 1/8″ Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I adhered a strip of Flowering Zinnia DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Flowering Zinnia DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! Inspirational Sketches Daisies

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous day here yesterday in the upper 60’s with the sun shining bright. Today, well it’s a totally different story. It’s supposed to be 50’s and cloudy today and rainy the rest of the week.

I have a quick CAS card for you today using one of my absolute favorite sets from the mini catalog. As most of you know I’m not a fan of Yellow. Stampin’ Up!’s Lemon Lolly has changed my mind. I think this is my favorite yellow ever. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set along with the Radiating Stitches Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the daisy image and sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I colored the daisy centers using the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the panel using the largest Radiating Stitched Dies. I adhered the card front to a Lemon Lolly mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Lemon Lolly ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered card front to a Basic White thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the daisy image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the flower centers using Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the daisy image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set on the envelope front and flap. I colored the flower centers using Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is your weekend going? I was at work all day yesterday and I’ll be working all day today too. It rained and rained all day yesterday. It was a slow day at work, which tends to make the day long. Luckily the people I work with are all fun and we like to talk.

I have a fun card with lots of layers. I LOVE making cards with layers. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set, Sending Dies, Scalloped Contour Dies and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper for my card today. Because Valentine’s Day is over it doesn’t mean you can’t still use this adorable DSP.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bee Mine DSP to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Petal Pink using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the center of the die cut panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Sending Dies, I cut the sentiment mat from a panel of Sweet Sorbet and the detailed sentiment from a panel of Basic Whtie.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the detailed die to the mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a strip of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the Sending Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bumblebee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Tuxedo Black Ink above the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Bee Mine DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bumble bee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set on the envelope front in Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Tuxedo Balck Inks. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy March!!! Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? Last night I went to a fund raiser with all the ladies I work with from the Hungry Hound Dog Bakery. It’s a lady’s night out and we’ve gone the past few years, it’s for Pediatric Brain Cancer. It’s a silent auction and there’s always a theme. Last night’s theme was Boots and Bling. We all wore different color blingy Cowboy hats that lit up. We laughed and had such a good time. The fund raiser was a huge success too. Here’s a picture of our group that won for the best group category.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle along with the Online Exclusive Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper for my card today. This suite will be available starting in March.

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

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Liquid Glue only on the bottom half of the panel.

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

I adhered the smaller panel of Flowering Zinnias to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card base together using Liquid Glue on the 1 1/4″ section to make a binder look. I adhered the layered panel to the 1 1/4″ section of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large zinnia image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

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

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using my Banner Pick A Punch, I cut both ends. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adfhesive-Back Shining Sequins (available March 5) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I adhered a Basic White panel to a Mango Melody mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base. I stamped the smaller zinnia and the leaf images from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the images out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the images using Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the zinnia to the bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flower using Glue Dots. I added 1 of the Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the center of the zinnia.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large zinnia image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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.
