Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and Happy Independance Day. Hope you have some plans for today that maybe even involves fireworks. 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. I made a super simple card for you using all New Online Exclusive Products. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Iconic Imagery Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set, Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Around the Bend Dies for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering an Iconic Celebrations DSP card front to a Moody Mauve card base using Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Old Olive using the Around the Bend Dies. I stamped the sentiments from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Versamark Ink on the Old Olive panel. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I brushed the leaves with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

I adhered the Old Olive die cut panel to the bottom left corner of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Clear Ribboned Dots from the Pecan Pie & Clear Adhesive-Backed Dots, to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outlined leaf image from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the solid leave image from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Old Olive Ink over the outlined image. I adhered a strip of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Moody Mauve card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the outlined leaf image from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the top of the envelope front. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Old Olive Ink over the outlined image. I adhered a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  Now that you’ve seen my card, let’s get on with the hop!  Click the button below to hop over to see what Tara has created today. Happy Hopping!

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.

Hi stamping friends. I had an appointment early this morning and didn’t have time to get my blog typed up for you. Hope you are all doing well today. It’s going to be a warm one here in NJ. We also have an air quality alert, which means I stay in as much as possible since I have asthma.

• Former Close To My Heart customers can purchase these products through any demonstrator, regardless of whether the demonstrator was a Close To My Heart Maker.

This digital brochure includes detailed information about the products included in this release. 
We’re excited to provide Makers and Close To My Heart customers with this and future opportunities to purchase Close To My Heart products! We hope it will help during this time of transition between crafting communities. For customers that are not current Close To My Heart customers, Stampin’ Up! is working to begin adding products to support 12″ x 12″ scrapbooking later this year! 

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

Stampin’ Up! has some new Online Exclusive items that are available to order now!!  You won’t find these products in any catalog, they’ll only be listed in the online store.  

The Online Exclusive product releases will continue throughout the year so there will be new products to shop from, in addition to new catalogs!  A new set of Online Exclusives are now available for ordering.

Go check out my Online Store for the NEW Online Exclusive products available. Get those orders placed early so you don’t miss out on the pretty new suites and new bundles

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   PKXMFP73

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2024-2025Annual Catalog, or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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.

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you all ready for the weekend? Last I saw, it’s supposed to be a nice one here in NJ, a little cooler than it’s been. Yesterday thousands of police officers were biking hundreds of miles from New Jersey to Washington, D.C. in the Police Unity Tour to raise awareness of Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty. We were outside watching them go by and cheering them on. One of our local Somerville Officers was at the beginning riding through. Here’s a quick video of them riding by.

One of them was handing people watching and supporting them this medal as he was riding by.

Today I have a super simple fun fold card for you using some new products from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Cling Stamp Set along with the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper, Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Up! My Small Business Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #635.

I started by cutting 1 1/4″ off the front of a Misty Moonlight card base using the Paper Trimmer.

I adhered a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP to a Moody Mauve mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to the card front.

I embossed a panel of Moody Mauve using the Dashing Designs EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the inside right of the Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from My Small Business stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink over the splotch image. I adhered a strip of Wildly Flowering DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the splotch image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink over the splotch image. I adhered a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Product List

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. How many Star Wars Fans do I have out there? Does anyone have any plans in the works? I’ll be working all day today. It’s supposed to be a rainy weekend and a little on the cooler side, which usually means it’ll be slower at work. I was hoping to be able to get out and finish my center garden this weekend, but it might have to wait until next week.

To kick off the new catalog, I’m offering Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards for all orders of $50 or more through Tuesday May 7th. A $50 order will earn you 2 rewards, $100 order will earn you 4 rewards, $150 order will earn you 6 rewards etc. For ALL orders under $150 you MUST use my Current Host Code 6C44QBJA. If you don’t use this code, you will not be eligible for double rewards or the free gift.

A Special Offering For Close To My Heart Customers!

If you haven’t heard the news, Stampin’ Up! and Close To My Heart are joining forces!  And starting 1 May, Stampin’ Up! is releasing some Close To My Heart® products in the online store as a bonus for current Close To My Heart customers! 

The product quantities Stampin’ Up! acquired from Close To My Heart are extremely limited (and while supplies last). This means this offer is only available to our new friends from Close To My Heart.  This includes previous Close To My Heart Makers, VIP customers, and customers who had an online account with Close To My Heart.

To purchase these products, here are some things you’ll need to know:

• Makers and customers will need to use the email previously associated with their Close To My Heart account to make a purchase.
• Former Close To My Heart customers can purchase these products through any demonstrator, regardless of whether the demonstrator was a Close To My Heart Maker.

This digital brochure includes detailed information about the products included in this release.  We’re excited to provide Makers and Close To My Heart customers with this and future opportunities to purchase Close To My Heart products! We hope it will help during this time of transition between crafting communities while Stampin’ Up! works to begin adding products to support 12″ x 12″ scrapbooking later this year.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   6C44QBJA

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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.

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. Last week was a very busy hectic week for me. It started on Monday when we added a new addition to the family. I’d like you to meet Coraline’s little sister Gidget. I adopted her last Monday. She was 10 weeks old yesterday and has fit right in comfortable with us. She’s just as sassy as Cora is, and every night we have a little barking fest between the 2 of them. Once Gidget is ole enough to be free in the house (we’re working on house breaking her now), I can see the 2 of them following each other around and being best buds. We’re not sure what she is yet, we sent the DNA in last week.

For today, I put together a kit that I purchased. I’m not really a kit person, but I really liked this one and I wanted to have it to display for the vendor event last Saturday. The kits collection from Stampin’ Up! are perfect for new or beginner stampers. The kits come with everything you need to make them.

This is the Stampin’ Up! Happy House Plants Kit. It’s an all-inclusive kit that doesn’t require any stamping, just assembling. The Happy Houseplants Kit is an adorable home decor crafting kit! This kit comes with four 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) white frames and precut paper pieces for you to curl and assemble inside the frame. You’ll end up with four coordinated houseplant decor pieces. They can stand by themselves, or you can hang them on your wall.

I had all 4 of these put together in less than 30 minutes.

This was really super easy to put together.

I assembled each of the plants first.

Put the mat in the frame and put the photos on top of the mat. Put the frame backing on and I was done.

Kit includes:
* Predesigned projects
* Step-by-step instructions
* Precut pieces (No prep work! Get right to crafting)
* 4 white frames
* Frame size: 7-1/8″ x 7-1/8″ x 7/16″ (18.1 x 18.1 x 1.1 cm)
* Enough adhesive to complete projects

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   GVPUUBAZ

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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.

This is the final week to sign up for my 2024-2025 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares.

My 2024-2025 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share and Ribbon share from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 1st. 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 May 13th. You can order just the DSP share or just the ribbon share or you can order both.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $63.00.

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 with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack 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!
