Stampin’ Up! In The Moment for The Card Concepts.

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend.

We’re back with inspiration challenges from The Card Concepts. We will be doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #200 is Autumn Chill. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

My card today features the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Photopolymer Stamp Set (for the envelope). I was inspired by the different elements in the photo, the wood background, the sweater/blanket, the book and coffee cup for my Clean & Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 200.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 more panel of All About Autumn DSP to Pebbled path mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the woman reading a book image from In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Copper
Clay, Ivory, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path, Pecan Pie and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut artwork to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a thin strip of Very Vanilla I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set in Pebbled path Ink. I cut the 2 ends into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment below the artwork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pebbled Path mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the envelope front In Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Copper Clay, Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Were you able to enjoy some time outside? I was in all weekend, between working, the storms and the heat & humidity, I wanted nothing to do with outside. I did have to take Coraline for multiple walks though. For some reason when I’m home, she seems to need me to take her out walking every couple hours. When she’s home with my husband and daughter she sleeps all day.

I have a quick card for you today that could be a wedding card, an anniversary card, a birthday card or anything else you want to celebrate with someone. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Gorgeous Garden Dies, 2″ Circle Punch and Bough Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Basic White card front using the Gorgeous Garden Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut card front to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On panels of Basic White, I stamped 2 leaf images and the flower image from the Layering Leaves stamp set 2 times each in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Bough Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and flowers under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Gue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Layereing Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the 2nd set of leaves and flowers to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Ocean Front for The Card Concepts

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 #198 is Summertime Fun. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Framed 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ocean Front Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the overall theme, beach and birds in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 198.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Framed 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping a Basic White card front using the Oceanfront stamp set. I stamped the center water image first using Tahitian Tide Ink. I then stamped the sky image using Tahitian Tide Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Last I stamped the sand image on the bottom in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the detailed sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the already stamped sand image. I stamped the tall grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the side. I stamped the cattails image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink next to the tall grass. I adhered the artwork to the center front of a Tahitian Tide card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Framed 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Pecan Pie cardstock using the Online Exclusive Radiating Stitches Dies. I cut the center out of the panel using the 4th largest Deckled Rectangle Dies to make a frame. I adhered the frame over the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Framed 4
 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sand piper bird image from the Seaside Bay stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the birds out using the Seaside Bay Dies. I adhered one of the birds using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the other two using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set on a panel of Basic White. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Framed 5

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the details sand image in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the tall grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set on either side of the panel in Old Olive Ink. I stamped the cattails image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Tahitian Tide card base.

Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Framed 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set on the bottom of the envelope front and flap. I stamped the tall grass image in Old Olive Ink, the cattails image in Wild Wheat Ink and the sand pipers in Pecan Pie Ink.

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! Quiet Meadow for The Card Concepts

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.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin’ Up! Desert Details for Fun Fold Friday

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.

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.

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.

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

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! Sentimental Park for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sentimental Park stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Regency Park DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the insider of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Regency Park DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! In The Moment

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! In The Moment 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends 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. 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.

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! Desert Details

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.
