Stampin’ Up! Sweet Jar of Love

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. It’s bee COLD here in NJ. Last night we were at -2, that’s about 78 degrees too cold for me. Last I heard we’re expecting a foot of snow this weekend. My husband is never going to finish shoveling at this rate.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #223b is Cozy New Year. They’ve added a 2nd inspiration photo for this month, so don’t forget to head over and join in. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Jar Peekaboo 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Jar Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Stamp Set, Perennial Postage Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies and Hearts of Love Embossing Folder for my card today. I was inspired by all the hearts and colors for my Clean & Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 223b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Cut a panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock using the largest Perennial Postage Die.

Using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock and the Basic Black card base. Emboss the Real Red panel using the Hearts of Love EF. Use a sanding block over the Two-Tone cardstock to highlight the hearts. Adhere the embossed panel to the card front, lining up the die cut areas.

Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a couple Holographic Resin Dots, colored with the Real Red Stampin’ Blend Marker, to the sentiment.

Stamp the small heart images from the Sweet Jar stamp set above the jar. Stamp the sentiments from the Sweet Jar stamp set in Tuxedo Black and Real Red Inks. Using the Sweet Jar Builder Punch, punch the lid out of the scrap of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock and adhere it to the jar. Add a Holographic Resin Dot that was colored with Real Red Stampin’ Blend Marker, to the lid knob.

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
8

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. How is everyone’s week going? It’s been nothing but rain for the last 24 hours. Heavy rain and windy. We were in a State of Emergency starting yesterday because of flooding. I was up half the night listening to the rain, wind and my sump pump gong off every 2 minutes. The good thing is, it’s going off and keeping the water away from my house the best it can. I believe the flood warnings are in effect until 6pm tonight.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #203 is New Year Love. 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! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Photopolymer Stamp Set, Tree Rings Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Circles Dies, Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 203.  How are you inspired by the photos?

I joined in with Global Design Projects #427.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Pecan Pie using the Tree Rings EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Garden Green mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 panels of Bee Mine DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the adorable beaver image from the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the wood pile image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the same panel. I colored the images in using Ivory, Neutrals #300 & #800, Pecan Pie, Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. Using the Deckled Circles Dies, I cut a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. I adhered the circle to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the beaver and wood pile to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I adhered a piece of Sweet Sorbet Bakers Twine from the 2022-2024 In-Color Bakers Twine Pack to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the Bakers Twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive Backed Hearts & Flowers embellishment to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I stamped the beaver image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the top of the wood pile image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink below the beaver. I colored the images the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base,

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the beaver image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as the card front. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

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

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! Bee My Valentine for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so 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 Ann Louise’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Love”. We can interpret this however we want. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Bundle along with the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and Countryside Corners Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White using the Countryside Corners Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the die cut panel to a Bee Mine DSP card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered strips of Petal Pink along all the edges of the die cut up to the sides of the DSP, letting the excess hang over. Once I went all the way around with the strips of Petal Pink, I flipped the panel over and trimmed off the excess with Paper Snips. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the solid bee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the bee stripes and face from the Bee My Valentine stamp set on the solid image in Tuxedo Black Ink. I punched the image out using the Bee Builder Punch. I stamped the detailed wings image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the Basic White panel. I cut the wings out using the Bee Builder Punch. I adhered the wings to the back of the bee body using a Glue Dot. I stamped the dotted image and the antenna from the Bee My Valentine stamp set to the sentiment panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the bee to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a heart from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers to the bottom of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the solid bee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the bees stripes and antenna in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bee body. I stamped the wings image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on top of the bee. I stamped the dotted image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink all around the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set on the envelope front in Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Tuxedo Black Inks. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine 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! Flowering Tulips for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends Happy February!!! A new month already. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it being February already. Winter usually goes very slow for me since I hate the cold. We’ll see tomorrow what the ground hog has to say about winter staying or spring around the corner.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #188 is Floral Valentine.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Photopolymer Stamp Set and the 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the colors, the tulips in the photo and the overall theme this week.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 188.  How are you inspired by the photo?

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tulip stem from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink 3 times and the leaf image 3 times. I stamped the smaller tulip image from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I stamped the details image full strength and the fill image stamped off once on scrap paper. I stamped the larger tulip image from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink, stamping it the same as I did for the smaller tulip. I cut the image out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set on the top of the die cut panel in Tuxedo Black Ink.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the tulip image from the Flowering Tulips stamp set on the bottom of the panel stamping the stem in Parakeet Party Ink and the tulip in Polished Pink Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tulip images from the Flowering Tulips stamp set on the envelope front in Polished Pink, Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party. I adhered a panel of 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
16

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 Karen’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Gnomes Love 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Gnomes Dies and the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper for my card today.

We have a LOVE theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Gnomes Love 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Country Floral Lane DSP to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Country Floral Lane DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Gnomes Love 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the 2 gnome images from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using my Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Pool Party, Sweet Sorbet and Medium/Light Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Gnomes Dies. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the mushroom house image from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the panel using the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped the grass image on the bottom of the panel in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the panel to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the gnomes to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the 2 ends on an angle. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored a couple of the Heart Pearls using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the colored Heart Pearls and a white Heart Pearl to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock. I stamped the flower and squirrel images from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the grass image in Granny Apple Green Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower and squirrel images from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the grass image in Granny Apple Green Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Floral Lane 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! Forever Blossoms for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some plans.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Love is in The Air.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set for my clean and layered card. I was inspired by the Heart Wreath and Colors from the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #168.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base.

I cut the heart from a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Bouquet of Love Dies. This heart was used as my template for making the wreath. I cut 4 of the largest leaf dies from the Forever Flourishing Dies from a panel of Garden Green cardstock. I cut the leaves apart from the stem using my Paper Snips. I cut the larger flowers from panels of Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink using my Cherry Blossoms Dies. I cut the tiny flowers from the panel of Petal Pink using my Bouquet of Love Dies.

I stamped the center of the heart with the sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink. I arranged the leaf dies around the heart the way I wanted them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I arranged the larger flowers in a cluster on one side of the heart adhering some of them with Glue Dots and some with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a few small flowers on the wreath using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the wreath.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Garden Green Ink. I adhered the extra die cut flowers using Glue Dots on top of the leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink Inks. I masked the flowers and stamped the leaf images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set around the flowers in Garden Green Ink.

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

Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Sweet Little Box

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I was able to have a fairly relaxing day yesterday, which was nice. I had time to sit at my craft table and get things ready for my next class on Tuesday along with getting a couple cards made.

I don’t have a card for you today. I have something different. I have a project this time that is so easy to make, I was able to get 6 of them done in no time at all. Here’s my project.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Sale-a-bration Photopolymer Stamp Set for my sentiment on my little box today.

I adhered 2 panels of the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper to the front and back of the cute little Sweet Little Boxes.

Once I adhered the DSP, I put the Sweet Little Boxes together. They come with adhesive on the sides so all you have to do is fold all the score lines and put them together.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the heart from the Give It A Whirl Dies. I adhered the heart to the front of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

The box will hold 2 of the Ghirardelli Heart candies without bulging. I closed the box and wrapped a piece of Highland Heather 1/2″ Grosgrain Ribbon around the box and tied a bow on the top.

Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Valentine

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I ended up working all day yesterday and it was like watching paint dry. There were customers, but it seemed like 1 would come in and check out then the next one would come in. Everyone buying salt, shovels and things to fix their snow blower. I have off today though YAY!!

I played with one of the DSP’s from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog for today’s card. I don’t usually make Valentine cards, but I’ve made a few this year. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Bundle along with the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper or my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Sweet Talk DSP to a Gorgeous Grape card base. I adhered 1 long panel of the Sweet Talk DSP to a Gorgeous Grape mat and adhered it to the left side of the card front.

I adhered 2 smaller panel of the Sweet Talk DSP to Gorgeous Grape mats and adhered them to the right side of the card front.

I cut and embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Gorgeous Grape ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Bouquet of Love Dies and adhered it to the center of the heart. I adhered the heart to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape ink. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Talk DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat and then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Talk DSP on the envelope front and a panel on 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!!
