Good Thursday morning stamping friends and 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 Theme Challenge. 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 theme.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Mixed Florals Bundle along with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and New Stampin’ Up! The Right Word Cling Stamp Set (available May 6th), for my fun fold card today.
We have a Fun Fold Theme this week.
Score and fold the 3 Pretty Peacock card bases as listed in the measurements below. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the tulip image from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Mixed Florals Dies.
Adhere the panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to the Pretty Peacock card bases. I listed below which piece goes on which part of the card bases. On the front of the center card base panel (4 1/4″ side), stamp the leaf image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Versamark Ink 3 times. Sprinkle the image with White Embossing Powder, set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the center card base to the large card base with the 4 1/4″ side in the front, about 1/4″ up from the bottom. Adhere the bottom card base with the 5 1/2″ side in the front, to the large card base on top of the center, lining up the bottom edge
Adhere the die cut flowers to the front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, keeping top flowers below the top of the card base. Trim off the bottom of the flower stems/leaves using Paper Snips.
Stamp the sentiment from The Right Word stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the top back panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.
On a panel of Basic White panel stamp the sentiment from The Right Word stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink multiple times on the side of the panel. Adhere a strip of Perennial Lavender DSP to the side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the back of the Pretty Peacock card base.
Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the tulip image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How are you all doing today? It’s Tax Day!! I’m not liking this day so much this year. For the first time in forever we had to pay. I was not happy when I heard that, and you know I am waiting until the very last minute to send them my money. It’s also a very happy day, it’s my puppy, Gidget’s gotcha day. One year ago, today I adopted this adorable little girl. She is such a little snuggle buddy, but she is also a little terror and thief. One minute she’s sound asleep and the next she’s stealing something and running with it. She’s still a puppy, so I’m hoping she gets better in another year, but I wouldn’t trade her in for anything. Her and Coraline are the best of friends and do everything together.
Stampin’ Up! New Rewards Program beginning Today, April 15!
The Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years is now gone. You’ll be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders beginning today April 15! Here are the basics:
You’ll no longer need to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product like you did with the Stampin’ Rewards system.
Starting today, April 15 at 2 PM MT and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So, if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!
NOTE: The Stampin’ Up! online store will be offline from 8 AM MT until 2 PM MT on April 15 for the updates. So you won’t be able to order in that time frame.
You can save your rewards for up to a year! So you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at at time.
Additionally, the “host code” will be going away, so you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.
That does mean that my $10 thank you gifts are also going away since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone. But since you’ll be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything that you’d like on any order that you’d like to use them on!
What won’t be changing: My Creative Stamping Designs Rewards program will not be changing. So, no worries there! You’ll still continue to earn reward points toward free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me with every order of $50+! And any points/rewards/gifts that you’ve collected from me up until this point will still be valid. So, you won’t be losing out on anything that you’ve earned from me, and you’ll continue to earn points toward free merchandise with every order of $50+ just like you do now.
What should you know now to prepare for these changes? Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:
You need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
I will not be able to create and manage customer accounts. I’ll be able to help you with ordering if you need me. But because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards. So make sure you can log in at stampinup.com.
You will need to opt into the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards. When you place your first order on or after April 15, you’ll have the option to opt into the new rewards program. If you choose not to opt in with your first order, you’ll have the option to opt in at any point when you order after that.
This is what the popup to opt-in will look like when you log into your stampinup.com account beginning April 15, click the “get started” button to go through the opt-in process to start earning your rewards:
If you don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account or if you’d prefer to pay with Paypal or call/email me with your order, you can still order SU products through me. You just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards directly for your purchases.
If you don’t want to opt into the rewards program, you don’t have to opt in. You can still order; you just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases.
Again, these changes will begin April 15th at 2 PM Mountain Time. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m excited for you all to start earning rewards on orders of $20+ soon and for you to continue to earn Creative Stamping Designs Reward Points from me with every order of $50+ no matter how you order!
Let me know if you have any questions. I’m happy to help!

NEW Stampin’ Up! Reward Program Coming in April 15th
Stampin’ Up! will be updating their Reward Program starting April 15th. The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years will be going away in mid-April. You’ll soon be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders! Here are the basics:
This does mean that my $10 thank you gifts will also be going away on April 13 since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone. But since you’ll be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything that you’d like on any order that you’d like to use them on!
You’ll no longer need to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product like you do with the current Stampin’ Rewards system.
Starting April 15 at 8 AM MT and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!
You can save your rewards for up to a year! So you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at at time.
Additionally, the “host code” will be going away, so beginning April 15, you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.
What won’t be changing: My Creative Stamping Designs Rewards program will not be changing. So, no worries there! You’ll still continue to earn reward points toward free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me with every order of $50+! And any points/rewards/gifts that you’ve collected from me up until this point will still be valid. You won’t be losing out on anything that you’ve earned from me, and you’ll continue to earn points toward free merchandise with every order of $50+ just like you do now.
What should you know now to prepare for these changes? Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:
You need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
I will not be able to create and manage customer accounts. I’ll be able to help you with ordering if you need me. But because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards. So make sure you can log in at stampinup.com.
You will need to opt into the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards. When you place your first order after April 15, you’ll have the option to opt into the new rewards program. If you choose not to opt in with your first order, you’ll have the option to opt in at any point when you order after that.
If you don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account, you can still order SU products through me. You just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards directly for your purchases. I’ll receive the rewards and I’ll need to apply them to future orders for you.

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. It’s supposed to be another rainy and cold one here in NJ. I hope you have some plans in the works, I’ll be working all day today.
We did some mystery stamping at our monthly meeting on Tuesday. This was a fun card to make. Jaimie sent us measurements and we all assembled our cards together live. Here’s my card for today.
I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms Bundle along with the Floral in Blooms Designer Series Paper and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.
Emboss a panel of Cloud Cover using the Exposed Brick EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Cloud Cover card base using Liquid Glue.
Emboss a small panel of Basic white using the Exposed Brick EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the top right corner of the Secret Sea mat using Liquid Glue, leaving a small mat around the top and right edge. Cut the corner of the panel of Florals in Bloom DSP off using Paper Snips of the Paper Trimmer. Adhere the panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the Secret Sea mat using Stampin’ Seal. Wrap a piece of Strawberry Slush Twine around the corner and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to the Cloud Cover card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment from Sweet Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a strip of Basic White, spaced apart so you can cut them with Paper Snips. Cut the sentiment mat using the Sweet Blooms dies from a panel of Basic White. Cut the detailed sentiment using the Sweet Blooms Dies from a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP. Adhere the detailed sentiment to the mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the die cut sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the cut sentient to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.
On a panel of Basic white, stamp the sentiment from the Sweet Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the stem image from the Sweet Blooms stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the flower image from Sweet Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the stems. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Cloud Cover card base.
decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the stem image from the Sweet Blooms stamp set in garden Green Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the flower image from the Sweet Blooms stamp set in Secret Sky Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the stem image. Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Friday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? It’s gotten cold here in NJ again and I don’t like it. I prefer the warm/hot weather, and I can deal with the 60’s in the spring, but these 40’s are getting to me. I keep wanting to go out to do some yard clean up, but then I walk out and say “Not Today” and back in the house I go.
I’m going to try to be back a little later with my card, but I wanted to remind everyone about my Paper and Ribbon Shares first.

NEW Stampin’ Up! Reward Program Coming in April 15th
Stampin’ Up! will be updating their Reward Program starting April 15th. The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years will be going away in mid-April. You’ll soon be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders! Here are the basics:
This does mean that my $10 thank you gifts will also be going away on April 13 since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone. But since you’ll be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything that you’d like on any order that you’d like to use them on!
You’ll no longer need to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product like you do with the current Stampin’ Rewards system.
Starting April 15 at 8 AM MT and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!
You can save your rewards for up to a year! So you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at at time.
Additionally, the “host code” will be going away, so beginning April 15, you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.
What won’t be changing: My Creative Stamping Designs Rewards program will not be changing. So, no worries there! You’ll still continue to earn reward points toward free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me with every order of $50+! And any points/rewards/gifts that you’ve collected from me up until this point will still be valid. You won’t be losing out on anything that you’ve earned from me, and you’ll continue to earn points toward free merchandise with every order of $50+ just like you do now.
What should you know now to prepare for these changes? Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:
You need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
I will not be able to create and manage customer accounts. I’ll be able to help you with ordering if you need me. But because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards. So make sure you can log in at stampinup.com.
You will need to opt into the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards. When you place your first order after April 15, you’ll have the option to opt into the new rewards program. If you choose not to opt in with your first order, you’ll have the option to opt in at any point when you order after that.
If you don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account, you can still order SU products through me. You just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards directly for your purchases. I’ll receive the rewards and I’ll need to apply them to future orders for you.
If you don’t want to opt into the rewards program, you don’t have to opt in. You can still order; you just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases.
Again, these changes will begin April 15th at 8 AM Mountain Time. I’m notifying you a little early so that you are ready for these changes. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m excited for you all to start earning rewards on orders of $20+ soon!
Beginning Friday, April 11, Paper Pumpkin is increasing its subscription prices in the United States and Canada to accommodate rising manufacturing costs. All new subscriptions purchased on or after April 11 will be at the new price.

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.
Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times. The inspiration photo #216 is Spring Celebrations. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Arched Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Everyday Arches Dies, Brights 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and the Pastel Ombre Glimmer Specialty Paper, for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the beautiful pastel colors along with the balloons, cupcakes and tropical leaves in the photo.
I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 216. How are you inspired by the photos?
Adhere a panel of the Brights DSP to a Granny Apple Green card base using Liquid Glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest Everyday Arches Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.
On a panel of Basic White, stamp the cupcake image from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. Fussy cut the cupcake using Paper Snips. Stamp the balloon image from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink 3 times on the panel of Basic White. Fussy cut the balloons using Paper Snips. Stamp the top of the balloon image on the 3 panels of Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper in Tuxedo Black Ink. Fussy cut them using Paper Snips.
Adhere the Glimmer balloons to the 3 balloons using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the balloons to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the astric image from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink on the sentiment panel. Adhere the cupcake to the card front lining up the candle with the astric, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.
On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the cupcake image from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a strip of Brights DSP to the top of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base.
Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the cupcake image from Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the image the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Brights DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Two-Tone Cardstock Share along with the upcoming May Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!! I’m placing my share order early on May 6th and 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 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives? What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Catalog and Online Exclusives.
