Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you know that today is National Son & Daughter’s Day? I am blessed to have a son and daughter. They have always been the apple of my eye from when they were babies and even now when they are all grown up. I am so proud of them both and the beautiful adults they have become.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves CAS in Peacock

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works yet for the weekend? Looks like the rain is finally stopping here in NJ for a bit. I’ll be working all day today and tomorrow I’ll be attending our team meeting via zoom.

For today’s card I brought out a bundle from last year’s September-December Mini Catalog and made a CAS card with it. This was the bundle that our team leader Amy Koenders designed for her Million Dollar Sales Achievement and it’s still one of my favorites. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Autum Leaves Dies and Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by using the 2 dotted dies from the Autumn Leaves Dies and emboss the Basic Beige card front with them.

Stamp the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the Basic Beige card front. Adhere the card front to a Pretty peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Pretty Peacock, cut the solid leaf using the Autumn Leaves Dies. From a panel of Oxidized Copper DSP, cut the coordinating veins using the Autumn Leaves Dies. Adhere the veins to the solid die cut leaf using Liquid Glue. Adhere the leaf to the card front using Liquid Glue. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems to the card front.

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic Beige.

Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope everyone is getting ready for the weekend and starting to make plans.

Before I get started on my card today, I wanted to share a picture I took the other day. 2 years ago, yesterday I brought home this sassy little girl, and she just brightens up every day for me. In April we rescued Gidget, Cora’s little sister, who will be 6 months old on Monday, and they are inseparable. The best decision we could have made.

Today’s card is made with all Online Exclusive products again. It’s a super quick fun fold that you can make multiple of for all your Christmas cards. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

On a panel of Very Vanilla stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment and a panel of Garden Green using the Greetings of the Season Dies. Add a Glue Dot to hold the die cut tags together, line up the holes and thread a piece of Gold 1/8″ Trim through and tie a bow. Adhere the layered tags to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend.

I did the Double Time Stamping technique and Spotlight technique for today’s card. I tried to make today’s card using just Stamps, Ink and Paper, but I couldn’t control myself with adding embellishments. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Magnolia Mood Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Put a small amount of Stampin’ Seal on the back of the small Basic White panel and press it against your jeans a couple times to reduce the stickiness. Adhere it to the center of the Basic White panel. Stamp the sentient from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of the panel. Stamp the large flower image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the top and bottom of the panel, making sure to be stamping on both panels.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Remove the smaller panel and color the flower images using Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the colored panel to a Lemon Lolly mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the larger Basic White panel, lining up the flower images on both panels. Adhere the layered panel to a Lemon Lolly mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the layered panel to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Lemon Lolly Tinsel Gems.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the small flower image and the leaf image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set on the top and bottom of the panel in Gray Granite Ink. Color the images using Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam Card base.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Double Time 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the small flower image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set on the envelope front in Gray Granite Ink. Stamp the flower bud image and leaf image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope flap. Color the images using Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers.
