Stampin’ Up! Island Vibes Special Moments

Posted on by
2

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans. It’s going to be a chilly one here. My walk to work will be a very quick one, I tend to walk faster when it’s cold outside.

Today and tomorrow’s cards use some Sale-a-bration items again. I can’t believe that Sale-a-bration will be ending in just a little over 3 weeks. Make sure you get those orders in so that you get all the free items you were hoping for. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Island Vibes Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by stamping the leaf image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the potted plant image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the leaf image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the potted plant image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Tuxedo Black and colored it the same as for the card.

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

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips CAS

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you are ready for a new week.

I have a clean and simple card for you today that really goes together quickly. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Fields DSP to a Rich Razzleberry card base,

I adhered a smaller panel of the Flowering Fields DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

I adhered a piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Windowpane Check Ribbon to the layered panel. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Flowering Fields DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Rich Razzleberry card base.

To finish my card, I adhered a strip of the Flowering Fields DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up On The Horizon Fun Fold

Posted on by
16

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I have off tomorrow but have to work on Sunday.

Today’s card I was going to make on my Facebook Live Wednesday, but I wasn’t feeling well so I never went live. I’m hoping all is better next week. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Bundle along with the New Horizon 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding my Misty Moonlight card base as listed below. I took a panel of the New Horizons DSP and cut it down to 5 3/8″. I cut 15/16″ off the right and left side of the DSP. I stamped the grass image from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink on the 2 small panels. I adhered the 2 panels on the 2 side folds of the card base. I stamped the bird image from the On The Horizon stamp set on the larger piece of DSP in Tuxedo Black Ink then adhered it in the center of the card base.

Using my Horizon Dies, I cut the 2 fence pieces out of a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I adhered the 2 fences on each of the side panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 of the grass dies from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock and adhered them in front of the fence pieces.

On a panel of In Good Taste DSP I stamped the sentiment from the On The Horizon stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the side panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the panel I cut off the top of the DSP I stamped the bird image from the On The Horizon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. My husband wanted to do some extreme fussy cutting (as he called it) of the birds, so I cut a couple and so did he. I adhered the cut birds to the side panels with a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Pebbles Enamel Shapes to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the On The Horizon stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the grass image on the bottom of the panel in Garden Green Ink and the birds on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the back of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the envelope front with the grass image from the On The Horizon stamp set in Garden Green Ink and the birds in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of New Horizon DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under the post. I’d love to see your take on the card. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! In The Moment for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
11

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. Can you believe there are only 2 days left of 2021? I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to 2022, with being sick this past month, I’m ready to start a new year. I hope you have something fun planned for tomorrow night to ring in the new year.

If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge and it’s my favorite kind!!! I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper for my Tower card today.

This is this week’s Theme.

I started by scoring and cutting my card base as pictured in the template below.

A while back I did a video making this card. Click Here to see the video.

I adhered panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. On a scrap of Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper, I stamped the pillow part of the stamp and fussy cut the pillows using my Paper Snips. I adhered the fussy cut pieces to the stamped image. I adhered the artwork to a panel of So Saffron cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

I adhered panels of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the back of the card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my stamping friends Merry Christmas Eve and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Will you be spending time with friends or family tomorrow? We’ll be spending the day relaxing just my husband, daughter and me. My son and his girlfriend will be going to her family’s house. My niece and her family will be going to her husband’s family like they always do. So, our plan is to relax, watch Christmas movies, maybe stamp a little and just enjoy the day.

Today I have my simple go to fun fold card, another Z fold using some new product coming in the January-February Sale-a-bration catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter Cling Stamp Set along with the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Misty Moonlight card base at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″. I folded the card base in half first and then folded the front back along the 2 3/4″ score line.

I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otter stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using my Layering Diorama Dies. I cut the next size larger Layering Diorama Die from a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the panel. I added a few of the new Pebbles Enamel Shapes on the bottom of the artwork.

On the inside I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Awesome Otter stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped another otter image from the Awesome Otter stamp set on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside left of the card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otter stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. The items I used for my card today will be available starting January 4, 2022. Both the DSP and the stamp set are free with qualifying orders. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Thinking of You

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Has anyone gone to get their tree yet? My husband went on Saturday and it’s sitting outside until we’re ready to set it up. Unfortunately, my house isn’t fully decorated yet. At the rate I’m going, I’m not sure it’s going to get finished either.

Today’s card is one that we made at our team meeting yesterday. This card was designed by Tara Carpenter. There were 3 of us that presented and all 3 of us designed a fun fold card without knowing what the other was doing. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by folded a 5 1/2″ X 6 1/2″ Mossy Meadow card base at 4 1/4″. I scored the 4 3/8″ X 4 1/4″ panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock at 1/4″.

I adhered a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Gold 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon around the card base and secured it with Tear & Tape on the back.

I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the small Mossy Meadow panel using Stampin’ Seal. I folded the panel of the score line and adhered it to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Tear & Tape. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small tree image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the tree top image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on top of the branches. I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink across the bottom of the tree. I cut the image out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered the die cut to the small panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Gold Metallic Pearls to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink to the left of a Basic White panel. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the right side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card designed by Tara. This was a very easy fun fold that went together really quick, and you can do a lot with it. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
8

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and the weekend is right around the corner.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. After taking a summer break, we’re back. Our 1st inspiration photo is Colorful Fall. Here is my card that I was inspired by the photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. I was inspired by the beautiful colors of the leaves for my clean and layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join us for our challenge #159. How are you inspired by this photo.

I started by randomly stamping the leaf images from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler and Fresh Freesia Inks on a Basic White panel. I stamped the splotch image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink randomly on the panel.

I embossed the panel using my Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to a Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Intricate Leaves Dies I cut 1 branch from a panel of Soft Suede cardstock and 3 leaves from panels of Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler and Fresh Freesia cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in soft Succulent Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Hippo & Friends Dies.

I arranges the branch and leaves on the sentiment die cut and adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small knot using the 3/8″ Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the stems using a Glue Dot. I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler and Fresh Freesia Ink around the top of the panel. I stamped the splotch image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink, stamping off once, around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I stamped the leaves and splotch images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler, Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Inks on the envelope front and flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS Card

Posted on by
6

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans this weekend. Maybe even some plans just to relax and enjoy the summer. I’ll be at work all day, but I get out by 5pm so there’s still time to do something. Yesterday I got another one of my gardens finished. My niece and her 2 boys came over and helped me out. 6 bags of top soil, 19 bags of ocean pebbles and 6 hours later, it looks so much nicer. We dug out a 30 year old pine tree, with a lot of digging and cutting, then planted a couple hydrangeas. Her boys love digging out trees/bushes.

I have a clean and simple card for you today using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty Cling Stamp Set along with the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a Regals DSP card front to a Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I taped off all 4 sides of the Basic White card front using Post-It tape. Using my Blending Brush I brushed Sahara Sand Ink on the exposed panel starting from the bottom and working my way up. I kept adding ink until I got the Ombre effect that I wanted.

I removed the Post-It tape and stamped the bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the side of the inked area. I stamped the leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the bamboo, once full strength and once stamped off.

I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink next to the bamboo image. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamped off once, on either side of the panel. I stamped the leaf image in Garden Green Ink, stamped off once and twice on the bamboo images. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Regals DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Step Card for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
10

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend yet? I will only be at Ace all day Sunday working, I have off from the dog bakery this weekend.

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’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Petals Suite Collection for my fun fold card today.

My colors are from the Global Design Project #297.

This is the template to reproduce this card. I really hope you will try it out.

Once I made all the card base cuts, I decorated the card base. I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 panels of the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to Fresh Freesia mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to either side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set 3 times. Once in Blackberry Bliss full strength, once in Blackberry Bliss stamped off once and the 3rd in Blackberry Bliss full strength with Fresh Freesia over the top. I cut the 3 flowers out using the Pansy Dies. I cut 4 solid leaves, 4 detailed leaves and 2 stems from a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using my Pansy Dies. Using my Sponge Dauber I added some Pear Pizzazz Ink to the detailed leaves. I adhered the detailed leaves to the solid leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered the 2 stems on top of one another using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stems to a Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves and flowers to the stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the matted panel and tied a bow. I adhered the artwork to the middle panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a little Bumblebee Trinket near the flowers.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Blackberry Bliss Ink using the Masking Technique. I stamped the solid leaf image in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamped off once and the detailed leaf image in Pear Pizzazz Ink on top of the solid leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set 3 times on the bottom front corner of the envelope using the masking technique. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under this post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

Stampin’ Up! Jar of Flowers

Posted on by
15

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you were able to take some time for yourself.

Today’s card I used an older set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, using all the new 2021-2023 in-Colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Jar of Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set for today’s card.

My design is from the Just Add Ink Challenge #558.

I also played along with Inspire. Create Challenge #092.

I started by adhering a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Soft Succulent card base using Stampin’ Seal. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to an Evening Evergreen mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Jar Of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Layering Circles Dies. I cut a scalloped circle from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock using my Layering Circles Dies and adhered the artwork to the scalloped mat using Stampin’ Seal then to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I made a small bow using the Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the artwork using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Jar Of Flowers stamp set on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

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

The first Stampin’ Up! value statement is this: we care about people first. What does that look like? Caring about people first means treating others with kindness, respect, and equal consideration. It means working together towards a common goal, helping each other through life’s challenges, and celebrating one another’s accomplishments. It means including others, even when we disagree, have contrasting life experiences, or simply see things differently. Caring about people first is our greatest strength!

In honor of this value—and in the spirit of World Diversity Day—we’d like to celebrate what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity! The United Through Creativity Digital Download features inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual sentiments and illustrations that represent the multiple markets Stampin’ Up! engages with. And, it’s FREE for all!

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating our one-of-a-kind community through the unifying force of creativity!
