Stampin’ Up! Willow Tree Get Well Card

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend and were able to do something fun.

I played with a new set to me today from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. As most of you know, I do not like the color yellow and I especially do not like Crushed Curry. That’s what I used today. Even though I don’t like it, I do like it for fall cards. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Willow Tree Get Well 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Willow Tree Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set and Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Willow Tree Get Well 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Garden Green mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Crushed Curry card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Willow Tree Get Well 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the tree trunk image from the Stampin’ Up! Willow Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the tree top image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the tree trunk. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the smaller tree top image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink and cut the image out using my Willow Dies. Using my Willow Dies, I cut the leaf dies from a panel of Crushed Curry cardstock. I adhered the leaf dies to the stamped image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut tree top image to the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the solid grass image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Garden Green Ink below the tree. I stamped the detailed grass image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Garden Green Ink around the solid image. I stamped the bunny image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I adhered the panel to a Garden Green mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Through It Together stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Through It Together stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink along the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat and then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Butterfly Kisses DSP on the envelope front. I stamped the small willow leaf image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds CAS

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. I hope you have the day off and have some picnic plans or maybe just taking some time to relax. My plan was to try to get ahead at my card table today. We’ll see what happens, my husband decided to invite a bunch of people over for a barbeque which I am NOT prepared for.

I have a quick and easy card for you today that I was able to make so quickly it scared me. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Happiness Abounds 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Designer Tags Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Happiness Abounds 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from Happiness Abounds stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Night of Navy cardstock. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder from the Basic Embossing Powders and set it using the Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Happiness Abounds 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Designer Tags Dies, I cut the flower image on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Night of Navy panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Happiness Abounds 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the butterfly die from the Designer Tags Dies from a panel of 2022-2024 In-Color Glimmer Paper. I adhered the butterfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Parakeet Party 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon and adhered it using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels by the flower and Classic Matte Dots on the butterfly.

Stampin' Up! Happiness Abounds 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the rose image from the Happiness Abounds stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on the bottom of the panel. I masked the rose using a Post-It Note, which I cut the rose out of, and stamped the leaf image from the Happiness Abounds stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink. I colored the leaves using my Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored parts of the rose using my Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Happiness Abounds 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Happiness Abounds stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on the envelope front and flap. I masked the rose with a Post-It Note and stamped the leaf image from the Happiness Abounds around the rose in Parakeet Party Ink. I colored part of the rose and the leaves in using my Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend and I hope you have tomorrow off too.

Today I made a fairly quick Christmas card using a set that was returned from last year’s July-December Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink, the sentiment and holly leaf image in Shaded Spruce Ink, and the splatter and flower center images in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the flower and holly leaf images out using the Merriest Frames Dies and the sentiment using the Deckled Rectangle Die.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of the Rose Gold & White 5/8″ Striped Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to a Shaded Spruce mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the flowers and holly leaves using Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sequins & Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the panel using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the flower, holly leaf and splatter images on the panel in Blushing Bride, Shaded Spruce and Soft Sea Foam Inks. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Day off and Updates

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the long weekend, well at least I hope for most of you. My weekend is not going to go as planned unfortunately. I got called into work yesterday, so no card for today. By the time I got home I was exhausted and couldn’t get anything done. I have to work all day today, which was planned. I now have to work all day Sunday too. Covid is going through the 2 places that I work at. We’ve made it the past 2 years staying clear and it only takes 1 to get it started. So far, I’m good, I’m taking all the precautions and keeping my distance from everyone. I’m hoping to be back tomorrow with a card for you as long as it’s not crazy busy at the hardware store. I hope you have a wonderful Saturday.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Has anyone made any plans for the long weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but I have Sunday and Monday off YAY!!!

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty Bundle along with the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring a Petal Pink card base at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I measured from the top of the card front down 3″ and made a small pencil mark. I cut from the 3″ pencil mark to the top of the 4 1/4″ score line using my Paper Trimmer.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I took 1 of the 4″ X 5 1/4″ panels of Pretty Prints DSP and on the left side I made a small pencil mark at 2 7/8″ down from the top. I cut from the 2 7/8″ mark to the top right corner. I cut the panel in half at 2″. I adhered the panels to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the part of the card base that is showing, I stamped the geometric image from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Golden Beauty Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the flower fill image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I cut the image using my Golden Beauty Dies. I adhered the floral image to the front panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow around the bottom of the floral image using my Simply Elegant Trim.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to a Calypso Coral mat and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock from 1 1/4″down on right side up to top left corner. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Cling Stamp Set in Calypso Coral Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the geometric image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Brightest Beauty stamp set on the envelope the same as I did for the card on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Pretty Prints DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Gnome for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a beautiful fall Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Bundle and the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to a Pumpkin Pie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the pumpkin image from the Hello Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the panel with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sitting gnome image from the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Old Olive, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Gnome Dies. I adhered the gnome on top of the pumpkin using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Harvest stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Hello Harvest stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and then to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin image from Hello Harvest stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink.

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Just A Note

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all doing well today. Can you believe August is over? This has been the hottest August I remember in a long time. We’re still in the 90’s here in NJ. Today is the absolute LAST DAY to earn free Sale-a-bration items. If there is anything you’ve been wanting, today is the day to get it!!

Today’s card I used a new item that you will be able to purchase starting tomorrow, YAY!!! Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Note 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and the new Fresh Cut Stems Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Note 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the large flower image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the image in using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my new Fresh Cut Stems Dies (available starting Sept 1- Sept 30). Using my Fresh Cut Stems Dies I cut 2 of the larger sprigs from a panel of Basic White cardstock and 3 of the small sprigs from a panel of Sahara Sand cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Note 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the edge of a Basic White card front using the Fresh Cut Stems Dies. Using my Blending Brush, I added a little Tahitian Tide Ink to the center of the Basic White card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Note 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Parakeet Party 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Parakeet Party card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the large flower image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs under the floral image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Note 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Parakeet Party mat and then to the inside of the Parakeet Party card base.

Stampin' Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Note 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral images from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap. I colored the images in using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Paneled Card

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? Our Sunday started out to be fun, going to watch my husband drive the racecar. It didn’t end up as much fun though. It started raining then pouring on our way there. There were bad thunderstorms, and everything got delayed for hours. They told us that there were 570 lightening strikes so we had to stay inside a garage for a bit. Even when we got the ok to go out, it was still raining. He had to reschedule, so now we’ll be going again May 14, 2023 (Mother’s Day). This was the last weekend they were going to be in NJ. With all the rain and thunderstorms there, it was dry as a bone at my house.

Today’s card is similar to yesterday’s but switched around a little. A change of direction, stamp set and one color. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints Paneled 1  creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sun Prints Suite for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints Paneled 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the fern image from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Cling Stamp Set in Blushing Bride Ink randomly on the Blushing Bride card base. I adhered a panel of Sun Prints Designer Series Paper to a Basic White mat and then to the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints Paneled 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the 3″ X 4″ panel of Basic White cardstock I randomly stamped the images from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Blushing Bride, Gray Granite, Merry Merlot and Night of Navy Inks. I embossed the panel using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I cut the panel into 3 – 1″ strips using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the strips to the 3 1/4″ X 4 1/8″ panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the layered panel to a Night of Navy mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints Paneled 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Gray Granite cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Natural Prints Dies. I cut 2 of the sprigs from the panel of Gray Granite cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sprigs behind the artwork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints Paneled 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the images from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Blushing Bride, Gray Granite, Merry Merlot and Night of Navy Inks on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints Paneled 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Nature’s Prints stamp set on the envelope front in Blushing Bride, Gray Granite, Merry Merlot and Night of Navy Inks. I adhered a panel of Sun Prints DSP to the envelope flap.

Coming Soon!!! Starting September 1, 2022

Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about! 

We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog.  

These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you and your customers will save 10% off the retail price. 

Put these wonderful stamp sets and dies together for more papercrafting fun!
