Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
4

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already. I hope you are all having a good week.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have a new fun challenge this week.  The inspiration photo #196 is Patriotic Picnic. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by the stars and stripes in the photo along with the Colors and Flowers.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 196.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by inking up the Stripes Embossing Folder, from the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder, with Real Red Ink. I ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine on a Basic White card front. I did this twice to get the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the embossed panel to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers using Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink multiple times on the panel over the flower, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the panel.

Using the scalloped die from the Zany Zoo Dies, I cut a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. I adhered the scalloped strip behind the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Blueberry Bushel cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow 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 using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I colored the flowers with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the flowers, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered a strip of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the flowers. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful 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! Desert Details for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone making plans for the weekend yet? It’s supposed to be a rainy one here. We’ll see what happens.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the retiring Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Bundle along with the retiring Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper and the Dry Brushed Metallic Paper for my card today. The Dry Brushed Metallic Paper will still be available as an Online Exclusive product after May 1st. The bundle and DSP will only be available until May 1st.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding a Basic White card base as listed below. I adhered 2 panels of the Delicate Desert DSP to the front panels of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Delicate Desert DSP to 2 Cajun Craze mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger layered panel to the left side of the card front using Stampin’ Seal +. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the right side of the card front, centering it with the larger pane, using Stampin’ Seal +.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Delicate Desert DSP, I stamped the larger flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Desert Details stamp set in Gray Granite Ink 2 times. I cut the flowers out using the Desert Details Dies. From a panel of Dry Brushed Metallic paper, I cut 4 of the aloe or spikey dies (I’m not sure what that plant is called) from the Desert Details Dies. On a strip of Cajun Craze cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Desert Details 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 right layered panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 3 of the die cut pieces above the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the smaller flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Delicate Desert DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Desert Details stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered another one of the Dry Brushed Metallic dies to the panel. I adhered a large and small flower I had stamped on a panel of Delicate Desert DSP in Gray Granite Ink and cut out using the Desert Details Dies on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger flower from the Desert Details stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Delicate Desert DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
14

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends 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. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Regency Park 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Happy Label Pick A Punch for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Regency Park DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Vellum across the middle of the card using Stampin’ Seal just in the center.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the 3″ X 4″ panel of Regency Park DSP into 4 – 1/2″ strips and 2 – 1″ strips. I adhered the strips of DSP to a Petal Pink mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel onto a panel of Night of Navy on an angle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Sentimental Park stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the ends using the Happy Label Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the car front.

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! In The Moment

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? We had the rain and thunderstorms they predicted yesterday and today is supposed to be beautiful. We have our monthly virtual team meeting which is always fun. Our team is made up of demonstrators from all over the US.

I pulled out an older set to play with today, and I’m happy that it’ll be carrying over to the new catalog. I love sketched stamp sets. I also used 2 of my absolute favorite colors that are staying, Petal Pink and Pool Party. Subtle Color Family is my favorite, what’s yours? Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration Cling Stamp Set and By The Bay 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of By The Bay DSP in half on an angle. I adhered the 2 triangles to a Petal Pink panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from In The Moment stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink (available May 2nd). I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Medium Light, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the artwork to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few soon to retire Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment and bird image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of By The Bay DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the By The Bay DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped the bird image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
2

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. 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 #191a is Signs of Spring and #191b is Butterfly Blues.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Photopolymer Stamp Set, Basics 3D Embossing Folder and Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by the inspiration photo #191a by the colors and the eggs in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 191a or 191b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 strips of Neutrals DSP to the top and bottom of a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the branch image from the Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the nest and bird from the Nested Friends stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the nest using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers and the bird using Crumb Cake and Ivory Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Nested Friends Dies. I stamped the splotch image from the Nested Friends stamp set in So Saffron Ink on a panel of So Saffron cardstock. Using the Nested Friends Dies, I cut the eggs from the panel of So Saffron and the leaves from a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I adhered the nest to the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals, the eggs and bird to the nest using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the end of the strip using the Happy Label Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Enamel Dot Essentials to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Nested Friends stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the bird from the Nested Friends stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Nested Friends 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the branch image from the Nested Friends stamp set on the envelope front in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the image with Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 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! Desert Details

Posted on by
2

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? We woke up to a blanket of snow this morning. Sadly, it will be gone by this afternoon. As much as I love a good snowstorm that I am stuck in the house and all I can do is craft, my 2nd favorite kind of snow is what we woke up to. It snowed on the grass and trees, but not the sidewalk or street, so no shoveling. Tonight, is my monthly Stamp Camp Card Class, so I’ll be prepping this morning and getting everything ready for the ladies.

Today’s card is one that could be used for anything. I made it with nothing specific in mind, which I love having on hand so I can add my own note inside. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Bundle along with the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper and the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delicate Desert DSP to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Ustin the Desert Details Dies, I cut a panel of Gray Granite cardstock with the larger frame die and a panel of Basic White cardstock with the smaller frame die. I adhered the Basic Whtie to the Gray Granite using Stampin’ Seal. I threaded a piece of Gray Granite Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack through the frame twice and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the 2 flower images from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the images out with the Desert Details Dies. I brushed the inside of the flowers using the Small Blending Brush and Pale Papaya Ink. Using the aloe leaf die from the Desert Details Dies, I cut 1 from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock and 2 from a panel of Dry Brushed Metallic Paper. I adhered the flowers to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the aloe die cut pieces under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Desert Details stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the words apart using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Desert Details stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the large flower image from the Desert Details stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I brushed Pale Papaya Ink in the center using the Small Blending Brush. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large flower image from the Desert Details stamp set on the envelope front in Gray Granite Ink. I brushed color on the inside using my Small Blending Brush with Pale Papaya Ink. I adhered a panel of Delicate Desert DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s been cold and breezy here, but it says it’s supposed to be a little warmer today. We’ll see. I’ll be at the dog bakery all afternoon hopefully giving those good puppies treats.

Today’s card is one that we will be making at my card class this coming Tuesday. I don’t think I’ve made any cards using the Polished Pink cardstock. I’ve used it for a mat, but not the main card. So, this was a little out of my comfort zone, but I was happy with the results. I did change the colors for the ladies to use on Tuesday. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set along with the Scalloped Contours Dies, Brilliant Wings Dies and Stitched With Whimsy Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the Stitched With Whimsy Die on a Polished Pink card front and running it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the card front to a Polished Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I used my Polished Pink Stampin’ Write Marker and flicked color over the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the Basic Black scalloped mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I cut the image using the Brilliant Wings Dies. Using the Brilliant Wings Dies, I cut the coordinating detail butterfly from a panel of Polished Pink cardstock. I adhered the detailed butterfly to the Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stamped butterfly over the detailed using Stampin’ Dimensionals and fluffed the wings.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the butterfly. I adhered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 3 Black Matte Dots to the butterfly body and a couple 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Go To Greetings stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat then to the inside of the Polished Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Polished Pink Ink.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus

Posted on by

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend and Christmas? Is anyone lucky enough to the day off today? I’m heading into work shortly, but I have to go to PT first. I don’t think I’ve ever had the 26th of December off for as long as I can reemeber.

I played with some new product for today’s card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus Bundle, available Jan 5, 2023, for my card today. This is such a fun set to play with. You can make lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruits out of the images.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Sweet Citrus Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I decided to make my fruit into a grapefruit. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the outline of the fruit image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink. I stamped the inside fruit image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink. I stamped the leaf image in Granny Apple Green Ink. I cut the images out using my Sweet Citrus Dies.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the images to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves behind the fruit using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the sentiment below the fruit using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pale Papaya 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the fruit outline image from the Sweet Citrus stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Pale Papaya Ink. I stamped the fruit fill image in Flirty Flamingo Ink. I stamped the leaf image in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the whole and half grapefruit images from the Sweet Citrus stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Flirty Flamingo and Pale Papaya Inks.

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.

FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining my share, you’ll also get a sampler of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Packs!  I’ll send each participant in my share a sampler of papers from the Dainty Flowers, Day At The Farm, Favored Flowers and Dandy Designs Sale-a-bration DSP packs!

Stampin’ Up! True Beauty for The Happy Ikin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends 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 Karen’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Awash In Beauty Suite for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Blushing Bride Brushstroke Specialty Paper using the lattice die from the Organic Beauty Dies. I adhered the die cut to a Merry Merlot card base.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Organic Beauty Dies, I cut panels of Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow and Shimmer White cardstock. I cut one of the larger floral images from a panel of Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sprigs to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the fussy cut floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals over the sprigs.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty Cling Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the True Beauty stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower stem image from the True Beauty stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the side of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the stem. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat then to the inside of the Merry Merlot card base.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem and flower images from the True Beauty stamp set in Granny Apple Green and Blushing Bride Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Awash In Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Pink 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Here is our Theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Pink 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Blushing Bride cardstock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Pink 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set. I inked up the stamp with Blushing Bride Ink then using my Sponge Dauber, I added some Soft Suede Ink along the edges. I cut the image out using my Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Soft Seedlings stamp set along the bottom in Soft Suede Ink.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Pink 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Soft Suede mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Blushing Bride card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow with Linen Thread and added it to the leaf stem using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Pink 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the seedling image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set on the top of the panel. I inked the stamp first with Blushing Bride Ink then using my Sponge Dauber I added Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set on the envelope front inking it up the same as for the card. I stamped the seedling image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set on the envelope flap inking the stamp the same as for the card.

Available Now!!

Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about! 

We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog.  

These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you and your customers will save 10% off the retail price. 

Put these wonderful stamp sets and dies together for more papercrafting fun!
