Stampin’ Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. Monday, we started a renovation project in my house. We’re having our bathroom redone. The partial demolition was Monday, yesterday was plumbing and today starts the rip out of the floor and replacing the Sheetrock. Our hope is that my husband will be able to paint this weekend, pending on him deciding on the final color LOL, then next week the new floor will go in and hopefully my husband has remembered to order the new vanity.

Today’s card main feature is the Sale-a-bration DSP. When I got this pack of DSP, I had no idea what I would do with it. I had fun playing with it, it’s really a fun pack. 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! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 1 creativeatampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Market Goodness Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Fruit Salad 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Nested Essentials Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Flying Through Challenge #352

Adhere a panel of Fruit Salad DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Daffodil Delight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 3 creativeatampingdesigns.com

Punch a circle from a panel of Basic White using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. Stamp the sentiment from the Market Goodness stamp set on the circle in Early Espresso Ink. Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the 2nd largest circle from a panel of Early Espresso. Adhere the sentiment to the die cut circle using Stampin’ Seal. Fussy cut a banana from a panel of Fruit Salad DSP using Paper Snips. Adhere the banana to the top of the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the largest banner from 2 different panels of Fruit Salad DSP.

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 4 creativeatampingdesigns.com

Using the Nested Essentials Dies, cut 4 of the 2nd smallest banner die from a panel of Early Espresso. Cut the 2 DSP die cut banners in half using Paper Snips. Adhere the DSP banner die cuts to the Early Espresso die cuts using Liquid Glue. Adhere the banners on the card front using Glue Dots. Adhere the sentiment on top of the banners using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 5 creativeatampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Market Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Fruit Salad DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Daffodil Delight card base.

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! Lovely & Sweet in Copper

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How has your week started? Today’s a very special day; it’s my dad’s birthday and he was the most wonderful dad any child would want. Unfortunately, I lost him 28 years ago, but he will always be in my heart. I still remember our walks together, the games we played, puzzles we built and all the wonderful things we did together. Yes, I was a daddy’s little girl. Did you or do you still have a special bond with your dad?

Today’s card I played with some older sets from the annual catalog. Sometimes we forget about those with all the new products from the mini catalogs and online exclusives. I’ve also used one of the 2023-2025 In-Colors that will be retiring in April. If this is one you like, grab it while it’s still available. 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! Grow With Love for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy New Year!! How was your week? I’m not so sure I like holidays in the middle of the week. I got out early on Tuesday, had off on Wednesday and had to go in early Thursday morning. By today I was so confused of what day it was. On Wednesday I thought it was Sunday and was waiting for a friends live to start. Things will be back to normal this weekend and starting next week. Can you tell I don’t like change LOL.

We’ve got a BIG day coming on January 7th. The new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog goes live, the new Online Exclusives will be available along with new Kits. With that being said, I have a sneak peek of a new Online Exclusive bundle that will be available Tuesday.

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.

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.

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. I’ve got a busy work week ahead of me. I’m working extra at the dog bakery this week along with my office work. Time to finish getting all the puppy treats bagged and tied for the Christmas rush. It’s always so wonderful how many people spoil their pups. We have to bag up and tie, with pretty bows, 400 dozen cookie bags along with hundreds of specialty cookies, and we sell out of all of it. There are going to be a lot of happy pups out there this year again.

I have another sneak peek for you of an Online Exclusive bundle coming in January and I did a little paper piecing with it.  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.

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.

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.

My January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 7th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the January Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $130.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $38.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6X6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

In all, you’ll receive 65 – 6” X 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $9.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ X 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ X 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ X 6″ since they’re already precut.

New Ribbon Share – $11.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons.

  • Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon
