Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you were able to do something fun and had some nice weather to do it.

I have a CAS card for you today. I’ve made a sympathy card for you, unfortunately I need a couple of them after this past weekend. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set along with the Timeworn Type 3E Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #654.

I started by stamping the cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Crumb Cake card front. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type #D Embossing Folder.

I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies. I adhered some Linen Thread to the card front using a tiny amount of Stampin’ Seal to hold it. I adhered the sentiment on top of the thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Metallic Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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!!

Product List

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Are you doing anything fun? Anyone heading out on vacation? Don’t forget tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of my Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards. For orders of $50 increments, you will earn 2 Rewards, so $50=2, $100=4, $150-6, etc. Visit my rewards page here for details.

Today’s card is very similar to one I made last week, but more on the feminine side. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seascape Bundle along with the fun Layering Diorama Dies for my card.

I started by stamping a Mint Macaron card base using the seaweed image from the Stampin’ Up! Seascape Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Clear Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the small school of fish image from the Seascape stamp set on the front of card base in Mint Macaron Ink

I cut a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock and a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock using my Layering Diorama Dies. I stamped the small school of fish image from the Seascape stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the Mint Macaron panel. I adhered the panels together using Stampin’ Seal and then to the Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Prince & Princess Host Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock. Using my Paper Snips I cut the end into a banner and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using my Sea Life Dies, I cut the large fish from a panel of Rainbow Glimmer Paper. Using my Paper Snips, I cut the fish away from the paper since it doesn’t cut it out completely. I cut the small fish dies from scraps of the different colored Ombre Specialty Paper. I adhered a few of the small fish using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the large fish using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Clear Epoxy dots from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Whale Done Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the seaweed image from the Seascape stamp set in Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the bubble image from the Seascape stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the panel. I adhered the glimmer die cut fish using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the envelope front with the seaweed image from the Seascape stamp set in Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam Inks. I stamped the small fish image from the Seascape stamp set in Mango Melody Ink and the bubble in Soft Sea Foam Ink 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!!

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’ll be working Sunday, but I have Saturday off. Not sure what I’ll be doing yet. I may attempt to dig out a tree I’ve been wanting to get rid of that’s half dead.

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! Party Puffins Cling Stamp Set along with the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by cutting a Coastal Cabana card base. I scored it at 5 1/2″, then lined the right front edge at the 2 1/8″ mark on my trimmer and cut down from the 5 1/2″ score line. I turned the card base a 1/4 turn and cut along the 5 1/2″ scored line down from the 2 1/8″ cut line.

I adhered a panel of the Pattern Party DSP to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Pool Party 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the Coastal Cabana card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the puffin image from the Party Puffins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie & Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the middle Hippo & Friends Dies. I cut the larger Hippo & Friends Die from a panel of Flirty Flamingo cardstock. I adhered the artwork to the Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Party Puffins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the puffin and birthday cake from the Party Puffins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images in using my Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie & Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the candles in using my Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write Marker. On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the fish image from the Party Puffins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the fish in using my Mango Melody Stampin’ Write Marker. I didn’t really like the color so I colored over it with my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Marker. I colored the bow with my Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the fish using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the puffin using a Glue Dot. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped 2 of the puffin images from the Party Puffins stamp set on the envelope front and colored them the same as on the card. I adhered a panel of the Pattern Party 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.

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? We had a beautiful, warm weekend here in NJ. I worked both days, but I get out by 5pm so there’s plenty of time left to enjoy part of it.

Today’s card was a surprise that we made at my Stamp Camp Class last Tuesday. I wasn’t sure what we were going to make then I remembered I had purchased these adorable boxes and thought a note card would go perfectly with it. Here’s my card and box.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Tidings & Trimmings Bundle for both items, keeping it very simple. The box is the Scalloped Kraft Treat Box and it’s really a great size for a little gift.

I assembled the Scalloped Craft Treat Box and adhered a piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Chevron Weave Ribbon using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal on the top of the box. I cut a solid Merry Merlot star using my Christmas Trimmings Dies. I cut a detailed star from a panel of Gold Foil paper which was adhered to a piece of an Adhesive Sheet, and adhered it to the solid star. I adhered the star to the box top over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Tidings & Trimmings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the berry image in Merry Merlot Ink on the panel of cardstock. I cut the images out using my Christmas Trimmings Dies. I cut another leaf die from a scrap of Evening Evergreen cardstock and the berry die from a scrap of Merry Merlot cardstock. I adhered the leaves and berries under the star using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink and adhered it to the star using Glue Dots.

For the Basic White Note Card I randomly stamped the outline leaf images from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the card front. I stamped the leaf fill images in Evening Evergreen Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the berry image from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink between the leaf images. I stamped the sentiment from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink in the center of the card front. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I randomly stamped the leaf and berry images from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Merry Merlot Inks on the top and bottom of the Basic White Note Card. I stamped the sentiment from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink in the center of the card base.

To complete my Basic White Note Card a decorated a matching Basic White Note Card Envelope. I randomly stamped the leaves and berry images from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Merry Merlot Ink the same as I did for the card.

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

July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on August 3 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 August 9.

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 and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $25.00 plus $5.00 for 1st Class Mail shipping

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

• Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″ x 6″ – 12
• Painted Christmas – 6
• Whimsy & Wonder Specialty – 6
• Sweet Stockings – 6
• Peaceful Place Specialty – 6
• Blackberry Beauty Specialty – 6
• Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ – 8
• Harvest Meadow – 6
• Heartwarming Hugs – 6 (returning)
• Kraft 6″ x 6″ – 2
• Brushed Metallic – 3 (returning)
• Red & Green Foil Sheets – 2 (returning)
• Silver Foil Specialty Pack – 3 (one of each)
• Snowy White Velvet Sheets – 1
• Gold Shimmer Vellum – 1
• Cork Specialty Paper – 1 ***please note that Cork paper will be approximately 6″ x 6″ as the sizes of the original papers may vary slightly.

In all, you’ll receive 75 – 6” x 6” sheets of new designer or speciality paper!

Double DSP Share – $50 + $7.75 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, that’s fine too.  I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet (except for the Gingerbread & Peppermint, Cute Halloween and Kraft 6″ × 6″, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).

Anyone is welcome to join in my share (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  If you’d like to join, either complete the form below or email the following information to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com

• Your first and last name
• The email address that is connected to your PayPal account. I only accept PayPal for payment.  ***You do not need to have a PayPal account to pay the invoice, you can choose to pay by credit card without having a PayPal account.

FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining my share, you’ll also get a sampler of some of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Packs!

Deadline to sign up for my share is Sunday, August 1 at 5:00 PM ET.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Changes To The Upcoming July-December Mini Catalog And Second Sale-a-bration

Stampin’ Up! has shared the following update with us related to the upcoming July-December Mini Catalog and second Sale-a-bration this year.  With the global shipping delays, they will be moving the start dates for those two publications back by one month.  Here are the details from Stampin’ Up!:

We’ve recently been made aware that, due to the current global shipping crisis tied to the COVID pandemic, we are not likely to receive the majority of product inventory for the upcoming July–December 2021 Mini Catalog or July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration in time for the catalog launches. After careful consideration we have decided to push the launches of both publications back by one month to allow time for inventory to be received.
 
Change Details

• The July–December 2021 Mini Catalog will in effect become the August–December 2021 Mini Catalog (though the title of the publication will not change).
  • Demonstrator Preorder: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
  • Customer Sales Period: August 3, 2021– January 3, 2022
• July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration will in effect become August–September 2021 Sale-A-Bration.
  • Demonstrator Pre-earn: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
  • Customer Earning Period: August 3, 2021 – September 30, 2021

I’m so happy that Stampin’ Up! made the decision to move the catalog timing back by a month in order to minimize those frustrating backorders and unavailable items!  Let me know if you have questions about this.  Can’t wait to see the upcoming Mini and Sale-a-bration Catalogs this summer!  And as always, I’ll get those catalogs mailed out to you just as quickly as I can once I get them in early July!  

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

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!

• The elements featured in the United Through Creativity Digital Download were created in the spirit of World Diversity Day—a day for each of us to join together and understand the value of cultural diversity throughout the world. And, to celebrate our unique community of crafters!
• We celebrate the diversity of the Stampin’ Up! family every day! In the United Through Creativity Digital Download, you’ll see a variety of illustrations, sentiments, and other elements that represent each of our marvelous markets and more.
• Print your favorite pieces and use them to create cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper projects! We hope you’ll enjoy celebrating diversity, connection, community, and creativity with this sweet selection of inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual elements.
• Don’t be shy—share what you’ve made! When sharing to social media, use the hashtags #UnitedThroughCreativity and #DiversityDay. We can’t wait to see your creations!
• Speaking of sharing, spread the word! Let’s celebrate what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity!

I’m sorry, no card today. I spent most the night at the animal hospital with my fur baby, Jasmine, and she is still there. I didn’t get back until early this morning and I was just too tired to do my post. I have to be at work early this morning so I’ll be back tomorrow as long as everything turns out ok with her.

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!

• The elements featured in the United Through Creativity Digital Download were created in the spirit of World Diversity Day—a day for each of us to join together and understand the value of cultural diversity throughout the world. And, to celebrate our unique community of crafters!
• We celebrate the diversity of the Stampin’ Up! family every day! In the United Through Creativity Digital Download, you’ll see a variety of illustrations, sentiments, and other elements that represent each of our marvelous markets and more.
• Print your favorite pieces and use them to create cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper projects! We hope you’ll enjoy celebrating diversity, connection, community, and creativity with this sweet selection of inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual elements.
• Don’t be shy—share what you’ve made! When sharing to social media, use the hashtags #UnitedThroughCreativity and #DiversityDay. We can’t wait to see your creations!
• Speaking of sharing, spread the word! Let’s celebrate what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity!

Update on the July-December Mini Catalog

Stampin’ Up! has let us know that they have decided to postpone the July-December Mini Catalog by one month. Due to shipping issues, too many of the new items were not available for the catalog kickoff in July.  Many items would be turned off and unorderable.   Therefore, they made the hard decision to postpone it one month, and the same will go for the second Sale-a-bration Catalog.   They will now launch for customers Aug 3.  
If you are a demonstrator, we will be able to see the catalogs in PDF form on June 22, and preorder product beginning July 1 – another HUGE perk of being a demonstrator!
