Good Thursday morning my stamping friends.  I will be back in a little bit with today’s card.  I wanted to let everyone know that I am starting another online host club in June.

Do you have a long Wish List and don’t want to spend a lot of money all at once?  An Online Host Club might just be the perfect solution for you.  This is the perfect way to build up your Stampin’ Up supplies a little at a  time and receive host benefits too.

Here’s how it works:

You sign up for a 6-month term and commit to:

• Placing a $25.00 minimum order each month
• Placing your order by the 20th of each month
• Using the Host Code for each month that I provide to you in an email sent out at the beginning of each month

Once 6 members have joined, a random draw will determine your host month and you are guaranteed:

• A $150.00 Workshop order during your host month
• $15.00 minimum of Host Dollars to spend on the exclusive Host Stamp Sets or any other current Stampin’ Up product during your host month
• You earn one Reward point for every $25 that you order on your Host Club Orders.  So your $25.00 order earns one Reward every month, a $50 order earns 2 reward points, a $75 order earns you 3 reward points, etc.  You’ll earn at least 6 reward points during your membership, building up your Rewards towards FREE Items
• FREE monthly tutorial with 4-5 projects
• Free catalogs during your membership term
• Free Shipping in your Host Month
• A FREE STAMP SET of your choice valued up to $25.00 at the
  END of the 6 months, any current set (excluding host sets)

At the end of the 6 months you will get first right at signing up for the next 6 month term

During your Host month you are also welcome to gather extra orders to increase your host rewards, just give your friends the host code for the orders, it’s that easy!

Questions: email me at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com

U.S. residents only  please.  I am not permitted to sell outside the country I reside in.

Hello fellow stampers.  This is my 2nd post today.  If you want to see my card click here.

I just wanted to let you know that I have updated my Retirement Sale List.  I have not added items that are just retiring now (those will be added in June).  If you’ve been looking for an older stamp set, I might just have the one you are looking for.  I have a lot of older DSP and ribbon that I have not listed, so if you are looking for anything specific drop me a line.  I also have some older punches that I will hopefully be adding in the next few days.  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or are looking for something specific.

I’ll take PayPal (you can pay by credit card through PayPal without having an account) or Bank Checks (must be a previous customer of mine and check must received within 5 days) for payment. Shipping will be in addition to the prices noted. Shipping charges will be calculated based on weight and distance and I’ll find the most economical way to ship to you. You’ll only pay the actual shipping costs. Thanks for looking. Please feel free to contact me with any questions @ creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com.
Happy Shopping!!!

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  Well, we’re all safe at home and ready for a vacation from our vacation.  It was a long flight having 3 of us sick.  I love going away, but I can’t wait to get home.  My furry four legged little girl really missed us.  She was wiggling so much I thought she was going to take off with the way her tail was going.  She spent her week home with one of my daughter’s friends getting spoiled, but it’s not the same as having mom home with her.

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month and you know what that means, Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Love”. We can interpret this any way that we’d like.

For my card today I chose to use 2 of our animal stamp sets.  Here’s my card.

I started by adhering a panel of the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Rococo Rose card front using Snail.  I adhered a small strip of the Merry Merlot Neutrals 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper to the top of the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP using Snail.  I adhered the card front to a Rococo Rose card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the outlined dog image from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Tails Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Basic Gray cardstock panel.  I punched the dog out using the Dog Builder Punch.  I stamped the  outlined cat image from the Stampin’ Up! Nine Lives Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock.  I stamped the detail cat image from the Nine Lives stamp set in Soft Suede Ink over the outline image.  I punched the cat out using the Cat Punch.  I cut the stitched heart out of Rococo Rose cardstock using the Stitched Be Mine Dies.  I cut the scalloped heart out of Merry Merlot cardstock using the Stitched Be Mine Dies.  I stamped the sentiment from the Nine Lives stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink on a Whisper White strip of cardstock.  I made the sentiment into a banner using the Banner Triple Punch.

I adhered the stitched heart to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the scalloped heart around the stitched heart using tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I snipped the cats tail off and adhered the cat to the heart using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the cats tail so that it hung down using a Glue Dot.  I adhered the dog slightly over the cat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the sentiment banner centered with the Neutrals DSP strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a Rococo Rose 2019-2021 In-Color Faceted Dot to the end of the banner.  I tied a small knot using the Rococo Rose 1/2″ Scalloped Edge Linen Ribbon and adhered it to the sentiment strip using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be Cling Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the outlined cat image from the Nine Lives stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom left side of the panel.  I stamped the detailed cat image from the Nine Lives stamp set in Soft Suede Ink over the outlined image.  I colored the cat in using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped the ‘meow!’ sentiment from the Nine Lives stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink by the cat image.  I stamped the outlined dog image from the Happy Tails stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom right of the panel.  I colored the dog in using my Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped the ‘ruff! ruff!’ sentiment from the Happy Tails stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink by the dog image.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Merry Merlot mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Rococo Rose card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the dog image from the Happy Tails stamp set and the cat image from the Nine Lives stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the inner liner of the card.  I adhered a panel of the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Product List

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers and HAPPY 2020!!  How was everyone’s New Years Eve?  Hope everyone stayed safe while ringing in 2020.  I actually stayed up till way after midnight.  I watched a couple time zones ring in 2020.

For the New Year I’m starting something new with my Customer Rewards.

Here are two great ways to earn free stamps and merchandise when you place a Stampin’ Up! order with me.

Ordering Thank You Gift

I’ve added a Host Code to the bottom of my daily posts. If you apply that Host Code to your online orders of $50 or more, you’ll get a free gift from me. And if your order is over $150, please don’t apply the hostess code (you’ll miss out on your own Stampin’ Rewards/Host Dollars if you use it), you’ll get the free gift too!
The free gift is your choice of any item valued up to $10.00 in either the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog or the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog! Once you place your order, simply email me the item that you’d like and I’ll order it when I close out the host order and ship the gifts out to you as soon as I get them.

Creative Stamping Designs Sand Dollar Rewards:

Qualify to earn FREE Stampin’ Up! product from ANY current Stampin’ Up! catalog or promotion!  The Creative Stamping Designs Sand Dollar Rewards Program is my way of personally saying “thank you” to my returning customers.

How Sand Dollar Rewards Work:

• For each $50 that you order from my online store (before S & H) you will earn one Sand Dollar.  You also earn my monthly Online Class Tutorial with projects that are exclusive to my classes!
• You will earn one Sand Dollar for each friend that you refer when they place their first order of $50 or more from my online store.
• When you have earned 8 Sand Dollars you will get a FREE product order valued up to $40.00, your choice and mailed directly to you!

NO MONTHLY COMMITMENT – Just place a $50.00 or greater online order through me (must be a single order of $50 or higher before shipping and tax) online.  For every full increment of $50.00 (before shipping and tax), you earn one Sand Dollar.  Individual orders may NOT be combined to attain a Sand Dollar.  Example: a product order of $49 would NOT qualify for a Sand Dollar.  However, an order of $101 would qualify for TWO Sand Dollars.  Shares, my card kits and workshop purchases DO NOT count.  Please note, when shopping online make sure that you are shopping in my Online Store otherwise your orders won’t count toward your Sand Dollar Reward totals and be sure to enter my current Host Code.

I will email you a PDF form so that you can keep track of you Sand Dollar Reward Points.

Place a $150 order and get three Sand Dollars plus you qualify for Stampin’ Rewards from Stampin’ Up!  Earn Stampin’ Rewards and apply them as you wish.  Use Stampin’ Rewards to purchase discounted host exclusive stamp sets or any current catalog merchandise.

Beginning with product totals of $450 or more, get 50% off one full-priced item in addition to Stampin’ Rewards.  Plus, you will continue to earn Sand Dollars for each $50 increment!

When you place an on-line order through me, you instantly become one of my Creative Stamping Designs Preferred Customers*.
