Hi stamping friends. I had an appointment early this morning and didn’t have time to get my blog typed up for you. Hope you are all doing well today. It’s going to be a warm one here in NJ. We also have an air quality alert, which means I stay in as much as possible since I have asthma.

A Special Offering for Close To My Heart Customers

If you haven’t heard the news, Stampin’ Up! and Close To My Heart are joining forces!  And starting 1 May, Stampin’ Up! is releasing some Close To My Heart® products in the online store as a bonus for current Close To My Heart customers! 

The product quantities Stampin’ Up! acquired from Close To My Heart are extremely limited (and while supplies last). This means this offer is only available to our new friends from Close To My Heart.  This includes previous Close To My Heart Makers, VIP customers, and customers who had an online account with Close To My Heart.

To purchase these products, here are some things you’ll need to know:

  • Makers and customers will need to use the email previously associated with their Close To My Heart account to make a purchase.
  • Former Close To My Heart customers can purchase these products through any demonstrator, regardless of whether the demonstrator was a Close To My Heart Maker.

This digital brochure includes detailed information about the products included in this release. 
We’re excited to provide Makers and Close To My Heart customers with this and future opportunities to purchase Close To My Heart products! We hope it will help during this time of transition between crafting communities. For customers that are not current Close To My Heart customers, Stampin’ Up! is working to begin adding products to support 12″ x 12″ scrapbooking later this year! 

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

Stampin’ Up! has some new Online Exclusive items that are available to order now!!  You won’t find these products in any catalog, they’ll only be listed in the online store.  

The Online Exclusive product releases will continue throughout the year so there will be new products to shop from, in addition to new catalogs!  A new set of Online Exclusives are now available for ordering.

Go check out my Online Store for the NEW Online Exclusive products available. Get those orders placed early so you don’t miss out on the pretty new suites and new bundles

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   PKXMFP73

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2024-2025Annual Catalog, or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards!

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

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! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was beautiful here in NJ, sunny and not too hot.

I have a super quick card for you today, that once again, I let the DSP do the work for me. 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! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Unbounded Love Dies and Online Exclusive Garden Meadow Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Cajun Craze using the arch from the Garden Meadow Dies. I adhered the die cut card front to the Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I tied a double bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the linen thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems and Adhesive Back Dragonflies and Birds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!! Happy JUNE!!! June used to be such a busy time of the year with the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. Both my kids are in their 20’s now. so it’s not as busy as it used to be. Does anyone have any plans for this weekend? I’ll be working in the office today since it’s the 1st of the month. My plan is to go in early so I can finish up early and enjoy the rest of the weekend, especially since it’s supposed to be a nice one here in NJ.

For today’s card I have a class coming up on Tuesday and one of the ladies requested to make one of the cards I made a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, with having 7 or 8 ladies here it isn’t possible, so I tried to come up with an alternative. 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! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Layers of Beauty Dies, Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #439.

I also played along with TGIF Theme Challenge #475 Happily Ever After.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the leaves on the image in Lost Lagoon and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the daisy centers with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut the image out using the Layers of Beauty Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I added Petal Pink Ink using a Blending Brush in the center of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Exposed Brick 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Lost Lagoon, I cut the leaves out using the Layers of Beauty Dies. I adhered the large floral image to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves using Liquid Glue under the large floral image. I added a few Petal Pink Foiled Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the image using Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty Anniversary 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Can you believe it’s the last day of May already? Are you ready for the weekend? Is anyone starting to make plans yet?

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’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for today’s card.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered one of the 1″ X 5 1/4″ panels, one of the 3 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panels and the 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panel of To Market DSP to coordinating Blackberry Bliss mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I trimmed the banner to the size I wanted using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped the belly band around the card base and adhered it together using Tear & Tape. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flowers, bottle and cake images from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Attentions Shoppers Dies. I colored the images using Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Attentions Shoppers Dies, I cut the shopping card out from a panel of Silver Foil. I adhered the images to the back of the shopping card using Liquid Glue. I adhered the shopping cart to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I adhered the last 2 panels of To Market DSP to Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the Petal Pink card base using Liquid Gue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiments from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the gift bag image from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the gift bag image from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front.

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

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.

These are our colors for this week

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Mediterranean Blooms DSP card front to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Garden Green card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Using the Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue Ink to a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink on the bottom of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Night of Navy mat using Liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the single orange image from the Citrus Bloms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Citrus Blooms Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow with Linen Thread and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a few Opal Rounds Assortment.

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Birthday

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How was your Memorial Day? Did anyone have or go to a picnic? We planned a picnic the last minute and then saw the weather forecast, which was rain and thunderstorms. We decided to cancel unless any of my husband’s friends wanted to come over to hang out and play games. A few came over and we had an extremely small inside picnic. I went into work for a little bit in the morning even though the store was closed. I was able to get my work done in silence without any interruptions of the phone or customers, now I have off until Friday since I did that.

I played with one of my favorite bundles from the new catalog and my favorite DSP and colors. 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! Country Birdhouse Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the birdhouse and bird images from the Stampin’ Up Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the tiny flower image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set on the scalloped part of the birdhouse in Misty Moonlight Ink. I colored the images using Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Pool Party and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the images out using the Country Birdhouse Dies. I cut the bow die from a panel of Basic Beige. I adhered the bow to the birdhouse using Liquid Glue. I adhered the birdhouse to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the bird to the bird house using Stampin’ Dimensionals.. I added a few Tinsel Gems Three Pack to the birdhouse.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I adhered a strip of the Country Woods DSP to the side of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam 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! Country Birdhouse Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the front of the envelope. I colored the images using Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Does anyone have plans for tomorrow yet? We’ll be having our yearly Memorial Day picnic and we’ll be celebrating my daughter’s and Coraline’s birthdays. Today is both of their birthday’s we have just always celebrated Kara’s on Memorial Day.

I have a quick and easy card for you today. I used a red, I hardly ever use red since I always get all inky from it. 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! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Scalloped Contours Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Brights DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours Dies. Using Post-It Note Tape along the bottom and sides of the panel, I stamped the small flower image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped teh splotch image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper first, around the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Black Baker’s Twine around the bottom of the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White.

I colored the images using Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is everyone ready for the weekend? I hope you all have Monday off to enjoy a picnic with friends and family.

Last Tuesday was our Stamping Studio and I led Mystery Stamping. The card I posted last Friday was where I got my design from to share. Today’s card is the one I made during mystery stamping. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today. I adhered 4″ X 4″ & 1″ X 4″ panels of To Market DSP to Crumb Cake mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 1″ X 4″ layered panel to the top scored section of a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4″ X 4″ layered panel to a Basic Beige mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the bottom 2 1/8″ scored section of the Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the burger and fries’ images from the Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Poppy Parade and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Bistro Burger Dies. Using the Bistro Burger Dies, I cut the cutting board die and knife handle die from a panel of To Market DSP, and the knife die from a panel of Smoky Slate. I adhered the knife handle to the knife using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the cutting board die cut to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Seal, trimming off excess using Paper Snips. I adhered the burger, fries and knife using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the happy Father’s Day sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the 1″ X 4″ panel of Basic Beige. I adhered the sentiment to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the scored section of the Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic Beige I stamped the sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies. This sentiment is the stopper for the easel card. I adhered the sentiment towards the bottom of the inner liner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fries image from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Wild Wheat Stampin ‘ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of To Market DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   6C44QBJA

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2024-2025Annual Catalog, or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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! Poised Peony for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my 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 Sketch 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 sketch.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony Cling Stamp Set along with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to a Pretty In Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large and medium peony images from the Poised Peony stamp set. I inked the stamps using the Pretty In Pink and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Write Markers by coloring the stamps and huffing on them to reactivate the ink before stamping. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shy Shamrock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the splatter image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered the layered panel to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on a strip of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Peach Pie behind the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small peony image from the Poised Peony stamp set next to the sentiment, inking it up with Pretty In Pink and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Peach Pie Ink, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shy Shamrock mat then to the inside of the Pretty In Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium peony image from the Poised Peony stamp set on the envelope front, inking it up the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.
