Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated CAS

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are starting to look forward to a Happy New Year. We enjoyed a quiet day watching Christmas movies, cooking, building Legos and just relaxing.

I have a quick and easy card for you today using all Sale-a-bration items coming in January. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sophisticated CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated Bundle along with the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper, both Sale-a-bration items, and the Countryside Corners Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sophisticated CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Softly Stippled DSP using the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sophisticated CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I stamped the sentiment and leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! softly Sophisticated Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the leaves. I adhered the stamped panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sophisticated CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I tied a small bow using the Pool Party 5/8″ Crinkle Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the artwork using a Glue Dot. I added a few Opaque Faceted Gems to the card front. Both of these items are also Sale-a-bration items and can be earned with a qualifying order of $50 or more starting January 4th.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sophisticated CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the leaves. I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sophisticated CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the leaves. I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the envelope 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.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Forest Comfort

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Merry Christmas Eves, Eve. Hope you are getting things all wrapped up for the big day. I’ll be at work all day today and tomorrow and I’m sure both days are going to be super busy with all those last minute shoppers.

Today’s card is very similar to one that I made last weekend. I was happy the way the other one came out and I wanted to make one more using a different color ribbon. I also wanted one that could be used for any occasion.  Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Comfort 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin Up! Fragrant Forest Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Comfort 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the image from the Fragrant Forest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the panel down to 4 3/4″ X 5″ using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the stamped panel to a Moody Mauve mat using Stampin’ Seal. 

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Comfort 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Moody Mauve 3/8″ Textured Ribbon around the panel and tied a knot. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Comfort 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Double Oval Punch. I punched out the scalloped oval from a panel of Moody Mauve using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Comfort 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Baic Black card base.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Comfort 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP to the front of the envelope and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Comfort 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!!

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.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. 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 January 15th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends 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 Karen’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. I have to admit, this sketch was a real challenge for me this week. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both of these items will be available starting January 4th.

Here is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Flight & Airy DSP card front on a diagonal. I cut 1″ down on the right side to 1″ up on the left side. I cut the Calypso Coral mat 1 1/4″ up from the bottom left to 2 1/2″ down from the top right on an angle. I adhered the 2 pieces of DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Liquid Glue. 

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Versamark Ink on the Calypso Coral mat. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the layered panels to a Boho Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the mushroom image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I fussy cut the image using Paper Snips. I colored the underneath part of the mushrooms using Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Opaque Faceted Gems to the card front (available January 4 from Sale-a-bration).

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the mushroom image from Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the mushroom image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. I colored the underneath of the mushrooms using Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Thank You 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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! Lovely & Sweet Notes of Nature

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Well, there are only 5 more sleeps until Christmas. I’ll be going out shopping with my daughter today after I’m done with work, and she’s done with her last final exam. We’re heading to a quaint little town with all kinds of little shops. It’s supposed to be a sunny cool day, so it’ll be nice walking around the town. I’m hoping to get whatever else I need today so that I can get things wrapped. I’m going to be playing it close since I have to work the next 5 days and I don’t have my normal time off.

I played with a new suite from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog for today’s card. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin'[ Up! Lovely & Sweet Notes of Nature 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Notes of Nature Cling Stamp Set, Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper and Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. These items will be available starting on January 4 from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog.

My design is from Try Stampin’ on Tuesday Challenge #637.

Stampin'[ Up! Lovely & Sweet Notes of Nature 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Natures Sweetness DSP to a Pecan Pie card base using Liquid Glue. I cut another panel of Natures Sweetness DSP into a banner and adhered it to the card front using Liquid Glue. I stamped the field notes image from the Notes of Nature stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D EF.

Stampin'[ Up! Lovely & Sweet Notes of Nature 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

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.

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the last week before Christmas. WOW!! I can’t believe that Christmas is next Monday already. I got my cards written out and cookie trays done. Now I just have to go shopping and wrap some gifts. How about you, do you have everything done yet?

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #616.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the larger image from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image using Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. 

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the blueberry image from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to the envelope flap.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. 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 January 15th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Bee Mine – 6

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy

Good Sunday morning stamping friends and Happy Sunday. It’s a very gloomy day here in NJ with rain expected. My backyard still hasn’t dried out from last weekend’s rain, it’s like walking on a sponge back there. Because of it being so spongy and wet, Coraline can’t go out and run around. Well, she can but then that means I have to give her a bath immediately. My husband went to get out tree yesterday, brought it in and got it all set up and decorated. NOW my decorating is complete. I’ll be putting together cookie trays today so that I can deliver they all by Wednesday at the latest.

Today I have a very quick CAS card for you using one set that is carrying over from the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog and one from the January-April 2024 Mini 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! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Forest Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle for my card today.

I played along with the CAS On Friday Challenge #272 – Black, White and One Color.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the large image from the Fragrant Forest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White card front, larger than what I needed. I trimmed the edges using the Paper Trimmer.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the card front to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a knot. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the lined hexagon image from the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink inside the hexagon image. I punched the sentiment out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added an Opaque Faceted Gem to the sentiment. The Gems are a free product from the Sale-a-bration catalog starting January 4.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the floral image from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 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!!
