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

I wanted to let you know about some price increases coming in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. As with everything else that we shop for, there are some price increases in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  Click Here for a printable PDF with the list of items with price changes. The prices for current catalog items that are carrying over will remain the same through April 30, so order now and save!  The new prices will start on May 1.

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

Hi stamping friends. The January–April 2024 Mini Catalog and the 2023–2024 Annual Catalog are retiring soon! It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to any catalog, but I’m looking forward to all the new products on their way—and I hope you are, too!

From April 9–30, you can stock up on your favorite products and save up to 60% on essential craft supplies! You can start to stock up on your favorites now – but the discounted prices will NOT be available until 9 April!! A selection of Last Chance Products will only be available while supplies last. 

Click Here for a Printable PDF list of retiring products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Remember – discounted prices will NOT be available until 9 April!!

Basics Embossing Powders Sold Out Until Later This Year

Stampin’ Up! posted an update to let us know that the Basics Embossing Powders are sold out and won’t be returning until some time this fall.  Here are the details from the update:

“We are in the process of switching manufacturers for our Basics Embossing Powders (item 155554). When we began this transition, North America selling trends indicated we had enough inventory to last through the end of the 2023–2024 Annual Catalog sales period. Since then, selling trends have shifted. The powders have been very popular, causing us to sell out far faster than anticipated. As much as we appreciate a high-selling item, it does create complications in this instance, as we’re currently out of Basics Embossing Powders in North America. As a result, we are discontinuing item 155554 for our North American market.   

We will re-introduce the Basic Embossing Powders in the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, but they’ll be under a different item number.  Unfortunately, we anticipate that the new embossing powders will not arrive until fall. This means there will be some time North American customers can see the powders in our catalog but not be able to purchase them until they arrive. 

We apologize for any complications this transition may create. Thank you for your patience as we eagerly await our new line of powders.”

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine Card

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started off well.

Today’s card is a sneak peek at a new set coming on May 1st. I needed to make a CAS card for the beginner class that I’m doing next month and I thought this one would be perfect. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a Very Vanilla card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set on the top of the card front in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I took another small piece of Pecan Pie Bordered Ribbon and tied a knot around the ribbon. I adhered the layered card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Back Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like this card and this set will be on your wish list. It comes as a bundle with dies and it’s perfect for those masculine cards. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Baby Card

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend. Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day, sunny and cool all day. I was out multiple times taking Cora for little walks. For the most part, I was in my craft studio designing cards for an upcoming vendor event. The event is next month and I’ll be holding classes at it. I’ll be doing a beginner class, an intermediate and an advanced. I had to get cards designed for each of the classes so I could send them pictures to advertise with.

Today’s card is one of the cards I designed for one of the classes next month. I’m trying to get a variety of cards. Since the event is at the end of the month, I needed to use products that I know will be available, and this DSP is one that will be carrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 1) along with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set, and Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of the Countryside Inn DSP using the 4th largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I adhered the DSP panel to the Basic White embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set and the Something Fancy stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the eggs using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty CAS

Posted on by
4

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Yesterday was a real washout here in NJ. It rained from 2am till about 4pm and three were floods everywhere. It was a perfect day to stay in and craft, but unfortunately I had to go to work. Today is supposed to be sunny, we’ll see what happens.

I have a sneak peek for you today of a gorgeous set coming in the 2024-2o25 Annual Catalog. This set comes as a bundle, but I only used the stamp set. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set which will be available starting May 1st, along with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom of the 4″ X 5 1/4″ card front panel. I embossed the panel using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Liquid Glue then to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I embossed the smaller Basic White panel using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the Misty Moonlight panel to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the multi-layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the top of the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front and 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.

Hi stamping friends. The January–April 2024 Mini Catalog and the 2023–2024 Annual Catalog are retiring soon! It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to any catalog, but I’m looking forward to all the new products on their way—and I hope you are, too!

From April 9–30, you can stock up on your favorite products and save up to 60% on essential craft supplies! You can start to stock up on your favorites now – but the discounted prices will NOT be available until 9 April!! A selection of Last Chance Products will only be available while supplies last. 

Click Here for a Printable PDF list of retiring products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Remember – discounted prices will NOT be available until 9 April!!

  • April 30 – last day to order from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and 2023-2024 Annual Catalog

Basics Embossing Powders Sold Out Until Later This Year

Stampin’ Up! posted an update to let us know that the Basics Embossing Powders are sold out and won’t be returning until some time this fall.  Here are the details from the update:

“We are in the process of switching manufacturers for our Basics Embossing Powders (item 155554). When we began this transition, North America selling trends indicated we had enough inventory to last through the end of the 2023–2024 Annual Catalog sales period. Since then, selling trends have shifted. The powders have been very popular, causing us to sell out far faster than anticipated. As much as we appreciate a high-selling item, it does create complications in this instance, as we’re currently out of Basics Embossing Powders in North America. As a result, we are discontinuing item 155554 for our North American market.   

We will re-introduce the Basic Embossing Powders in the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, but they’ll be under a different item number.  Unfortunately, we anticipate that the new embossing powders will not arrive until fall. This means there will be some time North American customers can see the powders in our catalog but not be able to purchase them until they arrive. 

We apologize for any complications this transition may create. Thank you for your patience as we eagerly await our new line of powders.”

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
10

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am. It has taken me all week to get back to my ‘normal’ routine. I think the plane flight last week really threw me off. I have been suffering with migraines all week.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. 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! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the brand new Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Country Wood Designer Series Paper and Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. These products will be available to purchase starting on May 1st. If you’d like to get your hands on them early, you can join as a demonstrator and put them in your starter kit starting on April 2nd. I also used the Designer Tags Dies, Deckled Circles Dies and Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting all the parts out for the birdhouse using the Country Birdhouse Dies and Country Wood DSP, Basic Beigh, Misty Moonlight and Poo Party cardstock.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed 2 Misty Moonlight card front panels using the new Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panels to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I put the pieces of the birdhouse together using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Country Wood DSP to a Basic Beige mat that I cut using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the birdhouse to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front panel to the left side of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink 5 times. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Designer Tags Dies. I tied a bow using Linen Thread to the tag. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin Dimensionals. I added a Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearl (available May 1) to the sentiment flower center.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the bird and flower images from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whit panel to a Basic Beige mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish mu card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird and flower images from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front and colored the images the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Country Wood DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
16

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 Theme Challenge. Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Mother's Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Bundle along with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Our Theme is Spring this week.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #785. I used the pastels version.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Mother's Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Sea Foram mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Lemon Lolly card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Mother's Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Stippled Roses Dies, I cut the leaves from a panel of Soft Sea Foam and the flowers from panels of Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I embossed the panel using the Layered Florals 3D EF. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Mother's Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the leaves to the card front above and below the sentiment panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers to the leaves using Glue Dots. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Soft Sea Foam on the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat then to a Soft Sea Foam mat. I adhered the layered panel the inside of the Lemon Lolly card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the envelope flap.

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:

  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 Expressions Tag Card

Posted on by
10

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I can’t believe we’re already halfway through the week. I think I missed a couple days. I spent all day yesterday reorganizing my craft studio getting ready for all the new products coming. I pulled everything that will be retiring off my shelves to make room.

Today’s cards are ones that we made at our Team Stamp Studio last Tuesday night for mystery stamping. Jaimie had us mad 2 since we were cutting cardstock on a diagonal and didn’t want to waste it. Here’s my cards for today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Bundle along with the Forever Love Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering panels of Forever Love DSP to the Pretty Peacock card bases using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the Very Vanilla panel in half on a diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom right corner using the Paper Trimmer. I cut the panel of Forever Love DSP in half on a diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom right corner using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the Forever Love DSP to the Very Vanilla panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the triangle layered panels to the card base using Liquid Glue along the left side and bottom only. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the image out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I stamped the flower image again on the panel in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the image with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the image using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I adhered the floral image to the triangle panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems to the Embossed panel and Iridescent Foil Gems to the stamped panel.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the smaller panel of Forever Love DSP to the panel of Very Vanilla using Stampin’ Seal. I punched a slit in the center top of the layered panel using the Very Beat Trio Punch. I threaded pieces of Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon through one of the layered panels and Gold & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon through the other layered panel. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiments out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the tags using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back of the panels, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the single flower image from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panels. I adhered the Very Vanilla panels to the back of the tag using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Tag Card 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Forever Love DSP to the envelope flaps.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia CAS

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How are you all doing today. Yesterday was a tough day at work for me after the long weekend away. I need to get caught up on some sleep.

Today’s card is similar to one that we made at our team meeting last Sunday using Online Exclusive products but stepped up a little with extra layers. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper along with the All That Dies for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered another panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the All That Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Inks on the side of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! simply Zinnia CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap.

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:

Hi stamping friends. The January–April 2024 Mini Catalog and the 2023–2024 Annual Catalog are retiring soon! It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to any catalog, but I’m looking forward to all the new products on their way—and I hope you are, too!

From April 9–30, you can stock up on your favorite products and save up to 60% on essential craft supplies! You can start to stock up on your favorites now – but the discounted prices will NOT be available until 9 April!! A selection of Last Chance Products will only be available while supplies last. 

Click Here for a Printable PDF list of retiring products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Remember – discounted prices will NOT be available until 9 April!!

Basics Embossing Powders Sold Out Until Later This Year

Stampin’ Up! posted an update to let us know that the Basics Embossing Powders are sold out and won’t be returning until some time this fall.  Here are the details from the update:

“We are in the process of switching manufacturers for our Basics Embossing Powders (item 155554). When we began this transition, North America selling trends indicated we had enough inventory to last through the end of the 2023–2024 Annual Catalog sales period. Since then, selling trends have shifted. The powders have been very popular, causing us to sell out far faster than anticipated. As much as we appreciate a high-selling item, it does create complications in this instance, as we’re currently out of Basics Embossing Powders in North America. As a result, we are discontinuing item 155554 for our North American market.   

We will re-introduce the Basic Embossing Powders in the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, but they’ll be under a different item number.  Unfortunately, we anticipate that the new embossing powders will not arrive until fall. This means there will be some time North American customers can see the powders in our catalog but not be able to purchase them until they arrive. 

We apologize for any complications this transition may create. Thank you for your patience as we eagerly await our new line of powders.”

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:   AHZBFDC4

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 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini 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.
