Stampin’ Up! Simply Sparkling for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? How many of you went into a food coma after dinner? My puppy definitely did. I bought her one of the Barksgiving dinners that we make at the Hungry Hound and gave her part of it. She was out cold afterwards lol. We had a relaxing day starting off with watching the Macy’s Parade like we always do. I’ve been to NYC a couple times to watch the parade, now I enjoy watching it in the warmth of my home. I was able to get all my normal decorations packed up and put in the attic, I cleaned and moved furniture around getting ready to decorate for Christmas today. Luckily, I have off on Sunday, and I’ll be able to finish whatever I don’t get done today then. Is anyone heading out for Black Friday shopping today? Maybe taking advantage of some good deals.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Simply Sparkling Bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Holographic Trio Specialty Paper and the Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

The colors for my card are from Global Design Project Challenge #421.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the panels of Glorious Gingham DSP to Basic White mats. I adhered the layered panels to the Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Pool Party, I stamped the can image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Sparkling Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pool Party Ink. I cut the image out using the Simply Sparkling Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Versamark Ink on the can. I sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the Simply Sparkling Dies, I cut the cherries from a scrap of Poppy Parade, the lime and leaves from a panel of Lemon Lime Twist and the can top, bottom, tab and bubbles from a panel of Holographic Trio spec paper. I adhered the can top, bottom and tab to the can using Liquid Glue. I colored the leaves for the lime using Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the stems and leaves to the cherries and lime using Liquid Glue. I adhered the cherries and lime to the can using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Small Blending Brush I added Pool Party Ink to the center of a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of the small Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the bubble to the panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the can to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the small Poppy Parade to the card base using Tear & Tape. On another Basic White panel, I used the Small Blending Brush and added a little Pool Party Ink to the center. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Pool Party Ink on an angle. I stamped the cherries and lime images from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, by the sentiment. I colored the images in using Lemon Lime Twist and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the last Basic White panel, I stamped the sentiments from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bubble image from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Pool Party Ink next to the sentiments. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Basic White mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside back panel of the Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment panel to the inside back of the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Toi finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cherries and lime images from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using Lemon Lime Twist and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful 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! Stars At Night for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I hope you are starting to make some plans. I’ll be at work all day tomorrow. Don’t forget I still have my Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards going on for my birthday week until Monday November 20th.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Bundle along with the Stargazing Designer Series Paper, Holographic Specialty Paper and Online Exclusive Silver & Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the back inside of the large card base using Liquid Glue. From panels of Holographic paper, Silver Glimmer paper and Basic White, I cut multiple stars, large and small using the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a small panel of Starry Sky using the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the large card base using Liquid Glue. I added a Holographic star to the center of the large, embossed star using Liquid Glue. I added a few of the Silver Glimmer stars to the panel. On the video I had added a larger star, but it was too large, so I switched it out.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to a Holographic mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the small Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue. I layered the stars the way I wanted them using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered stars to the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Stars At Night Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside of the small card base, I stamped the sentiment from the Stars At Night stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large, dotted star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the small Starry Sky card base. I added a few of the tiny Silver Glimmer stars around the sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you all ready for the weekend? Does anyone have any plans yet? I have off tomorrow for our Virtual OnStage @ Home event. So, I’ll be sitting in front of my computer from 11am-5pm.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Suite, Radiating Stitches Dies and Garden Meadow Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. For the main front panel, I scored and folded a panel of Basic White Thick cardstock at 1/2″ & 1″ on either side. I cut the center of the panel out using the arch from the Garden Meadow Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White, I cut 3 sets of the snowbanks using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the bunny image from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the image out using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I cut 2 trees from a panel of Early Espresso using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I adhered one of the trees to the outside of the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the other tree behind the arch to the inside of the panel. I adhered the snowbank dies to the bottom of the Basic White card front panel using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals, off centering them to give some dimension to the snow. I adhered the bunny between the snow using a Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to the Misty Moonlight card base using Tear & Tape, making sure to line up the sides evenly.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the larger circle from the Radiating Stitches Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a snowflake from the Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the bunny and snowbank image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink next to the trees. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

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! Fluffiest Friends for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you all ready for the weekend. I’ll be prepping all day today for next weekend’s retreat and my Stamp Camp Card Class that I’ll be having the day after I et home from the retreat.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Bundle (available November 7th) along with the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper (available in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog), Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Cling Stamp Set and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding a Pool Party card base. The 3″, 7 1/2″ & 10″ score lines are all Mountain folds. The 6″ & 9 ” score lines are Valley folds. I adhered the 3 panels of Bee Mine DSP to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 3 Sweet Sorbet panels to the 3 coordinating Petal ink mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3″ diamond to the center back, butting the corner right in the center fold. I lined the 2 3/4″ diamond in the center folded area and 2 1/2″ diamond on the front folded panel, lining up all 3 diamonds.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bear, cat and hamster images from the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Cling Stamp Set in tuxedo Black Ink. I colored all the images using Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Ivory, Lemon Lime Twist, Natural Tones, Petal pink, Pool party, Smoky Slate and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. Using Glue Dots, I adhered the bear to the back panel, cat to the center and hamster to the front panel.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 6 pieces of grass from a panel of Lemon Lime Twist using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. On the Basic White panel, I stamped the sentiments from the Zany Zoo stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiments out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the grass die cuts below the animals using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiments to the 1st and center images using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers (available January 2024) to the sentiments.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bunny image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Smoky Slate & Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny and hamster image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images with Lemon Lime Twist, Naturals Tone, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Smoky Slate & Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are ready for the weekend. I’ll be at work all day tomorrow and last I saw it’s supposed to be a rainy one here in NJ.

I wasn’t able to do a YouTube live this week. My card is one we did at our monthly Stamping Studio on Tuesday night. I was asked to do the Mystery Stamping for this month, so I had everyone make the card that I did for my live last Wednesday. If you’re interested in joining our group, contact me and I can talk to you about joining. Now is the perfect time. If you’d like to watch my video from last week and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, and you can Click Here for my YouTube live video. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set and One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a 4″ X 5″ panel of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. To get this, I cut 2″ off the bottom of a 6″ X 6″ panel. I then cut 1″ off the side, depending on what part of the scenery I wanted. I first cut 3/4″ off each side, then 1″ off each side and that left me with a 1 1/2″ panel. I adhered each of the panels to coordinating Pool Party mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I folded the Lost Lagoon card base in half at the 5 1/2″ score line and adhered the left side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to make a book fold card. The 1/4″ score line is a valley fold, the 1 1/2″ & 3 1/4″ are mountain folds and the 4 1/2″ is a valley fold, where it’s adhered. I adhered the layered DSP panels to the card base in order of the scene, except the last (right side) 3/4″ matted panel, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Lost Lagoon, I stamped the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the sentiment to the center panel of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the right half only. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front. I opened the card base and adhered the last 3/4″ layered DSP panel to the inside right using Stampin’ Dimensionals, making sure not to put them on the left side of the panel so the 1/4″ of the card front could slip under.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set on the panel of Basic White in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered 2 – 1/4″ panels of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, that I had cut off the full panel at the beginning, on either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front. I colored the trunk with my Pecan Pie Stampin Write Marker. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Please feel free to post a picture of your card under my Facebook post in the comments. I always like to see how everyone else’s cards come out when you CASE my cards. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday the 13th morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Do I have any superstitious friends out there? I hope you are ready for the weekend. I’m hoping to get a little outside work done today while I’m home before the rain comes. It’s time to trim back some of my plants that have started to die off for the winter. I need to get my garden in the front of my house cleaned up and figure out what I’m going to do with all the trees that are growing. Last year we had to cut down our huge 40′ Bradford Pear tree because it split. I now have a garden full of new trees growing and I’d like to transplant some in remembrance of my dad and Jasmine (my dog that passed when the tree had to come down). I need to find a tree expert to tell me how to do it properly.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! garden Meadow Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Bundle along with the Meandering Meadows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. Both these items will be available to customers starting November 7th from the Online Exclusive Products. I also used the Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! garden Meadow Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a 4″ X 5″ panel of the Meandering Meadows DSP. To get this, I cut 2″ off the top of a 6″ X 6″ panel. I then cut 1″ off the side, depending on what part of the scenery I wanted. I first cut 3/4″ off each side, then 1″ off each side and that left me with a 1 1/2″ panel. I adhered each of the panels to coordinating Bubble Bath mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! garden Meadow Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I folded the Orchid Oasis card base in half at the 5 1/2″ score line and adhered the left side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to make a book fold card. The 1/4″ score line is a valley fold, the 1 1/2″ & 3 1/4″ are mountain folds and the 4 1/2″ is a valley fold, where it’s adhered. I adhered the matted panels of DSP to the card base in order of the scene, except the last 3/4″ matted panel, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Orchid Oasis, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadows Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! garden Meadow Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the sentiment to the center panel of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the right half of the circle. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (available November 7th) to the card front. I opened the card base and adhered the last 3/4″ matted DSP panel to the inside right using Stampin’ Dimensionals, making sure not to put them on the left side of the panel so the 1/4″ of the card front could slip under. I stamped the garden tool images from the Garden Meadow stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images with Bubble Bath and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered them to the right panel using Multipurpsoe Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! garden Meadow Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower basket image from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base.

Stampin' Up! garden Meadow Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower images from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Grany Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadows 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! Fluffiest Friends

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Were you able to join us for our World Card Making Day presentations yesterday? How about the Stampin’ Up! event? I was glued to my computer all day yesterday.

Today’s card I made on our Facebook Live event yesterday. 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Bundle which will be available to customers starting in November. I used the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, which will be available in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. Lastly, I used the Stampin; Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bee Mine DSP to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Fluffiest Friends Dies, I cut the hive from the center of another panel of Bee Mine DSP. I adhered pieces of the Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back of the die cut DSP. Using the Fluffiest Friends Dies I cut the beehive from a panel of Daffodil Delight, the leaves & grass from a panel of Granny Apple Green and the branch from a panel of Pecan Pie.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the larger panel of Basic White, I stamped the bee image from the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the bees using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers and Clear Wink Of Stella on the wings. On the smaller panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the bear image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set. I colored the bear using Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Ivory and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Fluffiest Friends Dies.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut grass to the inside of the die cut hive panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the beehive and leaves to the tree branch using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel (with the bees stamped on it) to the center of the card front. I adhered the die cut DSP panel on top of the Basic White panel. I adhered the bear inside the hive, behind the grass using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the branch to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set on a strip of Basic White in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I cut the ends on an angle. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bee image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the bees using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers and Clear Wink of Stella for the wings. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bear & bee images from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images the same as I did for the card. I adhreed 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! Rocking Horse for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are ready for the weekend. It’s turning into Autumn here in NJ. It’s been in the 70’s this week and beautiful. Last I heard it’s going to be a rainy weekend here, but we’ll see what happens.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Rocking Horse Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rocking Horse Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle, Joy Of Christmas Designer Series Paper and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Rocking Horse Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to the front of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of the Joy of Christmas DSP to the inside back panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the rocking horse, presents, bow, drum and flute images from the Stampin’ Up! Rocking Horse Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored all the images using Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Rocking Horse Dies. From scraps of Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Real Red I cut the Bear and Blocks using the Rocking Horse Dies. I cut the rocker for the rocking horse from a panel of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. I adhered the rocker to the bottom of the rocking horse using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Rocking Horse Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the tree, I stamped only the detailed tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Joy of Christmas DSP. Using the Merriest Trees Dies, I cut the 2nd largest tree from the panel and the 3rd largest tree. I cut the 4th largest tree die off the 2nd largest die cut tree. I adhered the tree die cuts together using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From the panel of Distressed Gold Paper, I cut the tinsel die and the detailed star die using the Merriest Trees Dies. I cut the solid star die from a scrap of Wild Wheat cardstock. I adhered the tinsel to the tree and the detailed star to the solid star. I added Festive Pearls to the tree. I adhered the tree to the back panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the bottom part of the tree and a Glue Dot on the top of the tree. I added the presents, blocks and drum under the tree using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the flute using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Rocking Horse Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the rocking horse to the front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the packages and bear using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Rocking Horse stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the ends of the strip on an angle using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Rocking Horse Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Rocking Horse stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bow image from the Rocking Horse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the corners of the panel. I colored the bows using Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of Joy of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stampin' Up! Rocking Horse Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the gift packages and bow from the Rocking Horse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using the Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas 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.
