Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Thank You

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans do you have in the works for the weekend? I’ll be at work today, which is ok since it’s not supposed to be nice out.

Today’s card is using some new products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. This is such an awesome bundle, and it has so many possibilities. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin; Up! Circle Sayings Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Bundle along with the Stitched With Whimsy Dies, Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Countryside Blooms Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from the Colours & Sketch Challenge #510.

Stampin; Up! Circle Sayings Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pool Party card front using the Stitched With Whimsy Dies. I embossed a panel of Basic White using the Countryside Blooms Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Night of Navy mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin; Up! Circle Sayings Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 layered panel to the Pool Party card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped 2 pieces of Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around the card front and adhered them to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to the Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin; Up! Circle Sayings Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo Ink 2 times, connecting to make a circle. I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in the center of the floral circle in Night of Navy Ink. I colored the leaves on the image using Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I punched the image out using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin; Up! Circle Sayings Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink above the sentiment. I colored the leaves with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin; Up! Circle Sayings Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the front of the envelope. I colored the leaves of the image using Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin; Up! Circle Sayings Thank You 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Product List

Stampin’ Up! Silly Goose Thanks

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope your week has started off great.

I have a fun quick and easy card today with some product that’s carrying over and some that’s retiring. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Silly Goos Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Silly Goose Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the retiring Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Silly Goos Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Starry Sky card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a smaller panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Starry Sky mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Silly Goos Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock, I stamped the goose image from the Silly Goose stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the grass image from the Silly Goose stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the gooses beak and feet with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the banner with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Silly Goos Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Starry Sky mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Silly Goos Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Silly Goose stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I adhered a strip of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

Stampin' Up! Silly Goos Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the goose image from the Silly Goose stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the grass image and sentiment from the Silly Goose stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink along the bottom front. I colored the goose beaks and feet with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Silly Goos Thanks 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

*********************************************************************************************************

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! Something Fancy Thank You Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I can’t believe it’s the middle of April already. I finally got my taxes done this week. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. I always hate that job so I put it off. This week also, I was finally able to get outside and redo my Iris Garden. It had been neglected last year so it needed a lot of TLC. It took me 6 hours to get it all fixed up. It looks so nice now with the new dirt and mulch and no weeds. I can’t wait for the irises to start blooming.

Today’s card is a quick and easy one that mainly focuses on the Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Cling Stamp Set along with the Fancy Flora 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Radiating Stitches Dies and Designer Tags Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 3 panels of Fancy Flora DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of the new 1/4″ Petal Pink ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack (available May 2nd) around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to a Pecan Pie (available May 2nd) card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Radiating Stitches Dies. From a panel of Petal Pink cardstock, I cut the butterfly die from the Designer Tags Dies. I brushed the butterfly with some Clear Wink of Stella. I adhered the butterfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the butterfly body. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Fancy Flora DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already. I hope your week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have a double challenge this week. It’s the second challenge of the month, we are posting two challenge photos!  You can choose whichever photo you prefer, or you could create two separate cards, one for each photo! The inspiration photo #193a is New Arrival and 193b is Busy Bee.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Bundle, the Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Bundle, the Hive 3D Embossing Folder and the Beautiful Shapes Die for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the inspiration photo 193b with the colors and bees. All these Items will be retiring at the end of the month except for the color. If you would have told me that less than a week after I got the new In-Colors that I would be using the Wild Wheat, I would have said you were crazy. It’s my least favorite color, but it works so well with these stamp sets.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 193a or 193b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I embossed a panel of Wild Wheat cardstock using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. Using my Wink of Stella brush, I flicked some shimmer on the embossed panel.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large bee from the Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the 3 small bees from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the same panel. I cut the small bees out using the Honeybee Blossoms Dies and the large bee using the Queen Bee Dies. I colored the bees using the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the hive embossed panel to a Wild Wheat card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut Basic Black card front over the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bees to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the 3 bees from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink by the sentiment and on the bottom of the panel. I colored the bees using my Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base.

Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large bee from the Queen Bee stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the 3 smaller bees from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope flap. I colored all the bees in using my Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Marker.

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

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! Around The Bend Hello

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week started off great!! I’m counting the hours now until I can see the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I’m so excited to see the new colors and new products. I’m even more excited to be able to order some of the items next week, YAY!!! I love this perk of being a demonstrator, I think it’s one of my favorites.

Today I played with a new bundle that I hadn’t pulled out and inked up yet. I just love this set and had so much fun with it. I also played with some shimmer paper that hadn’t seen much love from me yet. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Bundle along with the Textured Shimmer Paper and Fine Shimmer Paper for my card today.

My colors are from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #410.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Balmy Blue Textured Shimmer Paper to a Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the line & dotted image from the Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Photopolymer Stamp Set in Balmy Blue Ink. I cut the panel using the scalloped die from Around The Bend Dies. I cut a coordinating scalloped mat from a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the top of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Around The Bend Dies, I cut 2 of the flowers from a panel of Fresh Freesia Fine Shimmer Paper, the leaf dies from a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and the flower center from a scrap of Basic White. I adhered the 2 flowers together using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flower center with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the top of the panel using another one of the Around The Bend Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the corner leaf image from the Around The Bend stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Balmy Blue Textured Shimmer Paper to the envelope flap.

We haven’t been told what colors will be retiring, but if you have any favorites that you can’t live without, stock up now!   We do know that the current 2021-2023 In-Colors (Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent) will be retiring. You might want to stock up on the Cardstock, DSP, Reinkers, Stampin’ Blends Markers, Stampin’ Write Markers, Ribbons etc. When supplies run out, they will not be restocking them.

More details about the updates to the color list will be announced on March 29 so look for more information then.  And pick up a few of your favorite colors now to make sure that you’ll have a good supply if your favorites end up retiring with the color refresh!

Stampin’ Up Irresistible Blooms Hello

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends Happy Daylight Savings Time. Did you all remember to turn your clocks ahead last night before turning in? How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be heading up to Amy’s today for our quarterly team meeting, which I always look forward to. I enjoy spending the time with other team members and stamping with them. I’ll also be happy to get out of my town for the day. There is a huge St. Patrick’s Day parade in town and people come from all over. Our town has one of the largest parades in the state. We have fire departments, rescue squads, scouts, bag pipers, Irish dancers and clubs from all around NJ come to our town for this. I spent many years in the parade with my girl scouts, and it is just way too crowded for me.

Today’s card is another one using the Online Exclusive products. I’ve been having fun playing with the new border dies. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle along with the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Elegant Borders Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the front of a Basic White Thick card base using the Elegant Borders Dies. I stamped the card front using the splatter image from the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut multiple flowers and leaves from panels of Hello Irresistible DSP using the Irresistible Blooms Dies. I adhered the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the right side of the Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment form the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the larger flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Mango Melody Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set around the flower in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I stamped the splatter image in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base. I added Loose Frosted Dots to the card front and side panel using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Mango Melody Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf images around the flower in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I stamped the splatter image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible 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! Happy Labels Thank You

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works? I’ll be at work all day today, but tomorrow is our quarterly in person meeting that I’ll be attending. Don’t forget to turn you clocks ahead before you go to bed tonight. This is my favorite time of the year, when it stays light out later, I can go for walks and not worry that it’s going to get dark while I’m walking. With it staying lighter later means the temperatures will be getting warmer, which I love.

Today’s card is a quick one featuring my favorite panel of Designer Series Paper. I am not normally a neutral person, I like color. There’s something about this panel that I just love, the beautiful artwork talks to me somehow. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora Photopolymer Stamp Set and Fancy Flora 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design came from the Sunday Stamps Sketch Time Challenge #304.

I played along with Shopping Our Stash Challenge #491, Flowers, Flowers Everywhere.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the center of the Fancy Flora DSP card front out using the 5th largest Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered the outside Fancy Flora card front to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the center panel of the Fancy Flora card front to a Soft Suede mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Soft Suede cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I added a few Enamel Dot Essentials to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the large detail flower image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the large solid flower image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off twice on scrap paper, over the detailed image. I stamped the leaf image from the Two-tone Flora stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Suede mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger detail flower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I stamped the large detail flower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off twice on scrap paper, over the detailed image. I stamped the leaf image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Thanks 7 creativestampingdesigns.com
