Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be at work all day Saturday and then we have out quarterly team meeting in person on Sunday. I love those meetings; we get to stamp together and chat for a bit and of course laugh.

Today’s card I was planning on doing on my live on Wednesday afternoon, but my contractor had other plans. After waiting 5 months for him to come replace doors in my craft studio and around the house, he thought Wednesday was the perfect day.  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! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Meadow Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I then cut the leaf die from the Meadow Dies from the center of the Basic White panel. Using my Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker, I flicked specks on the die cut panel.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the left front of a Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the DSP card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the leaf stem using a Glue Dot. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the right front of the Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink 2 times on the bottom of the panel, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the side of the panel. I blended the flowers using a Blender Pen to spread the color a little. I flicked a little ink using my Starry Sky Stamp’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope front in Starry Sky Ink twice, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink over the script image. I blended the flowers using my Blender Pen. I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia in Pastels 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 Color Challenge and they are my FAVORITE colors, the Subtles. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder along with the Lighter Than Air 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Wild Fern Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Lighter Than Air DSP to a Balmy Blue card base using Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Basic White using the Zinnia 3D EF and adhered it to a Balmy Blue mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large zinnia flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I used Smoky Slate Ink to keep with the pastel look of the card. I cut the image out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the image using the Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the flower image to the card front using Stamin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a strip of Basic White. I cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. I tied a bow using the Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack and adhered it to the flower stem using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Wild Fern stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large zinnia flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Lighter Than Air DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large zinnia flower form the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Lighter Than Air DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Panels

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend already. We’re having a gloomy week again here in NJ. Sunday and Monday were beautiful days, spring like.

Today’s card is similar to one I made a couple weeks ago except in landscape. This card we made last night at my Stamp Camp Card Class. I showed the ladies both card, portrait and landscape and let them decide which way they wanted to go. Click Here if you’d like to see the portrait version. 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! Perennial Postage Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Bundle, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic Whtie card front using the Exposed Brick EF. I adhered the embossed panel to an Orchid Oasis card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 3 panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to 3 Orchid Oasis mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the embossed card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Orchid Oasis, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Painted Lavender Dies, I cut the flowers from a panel of Orchid Oasis and the leaves from a panel of Lost Lagoon. I adhered the die cut pieces to the card front using Glue Dots. I tied a small bow using the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack and adhered it to the bottom of the die cuts using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink. I stamped the leaves image from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink, full strength and stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaves image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to the envelope flap.

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! Inspirational Sketches Daisies

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous day here yesterday in the upper 60’s with the sun shining bright. Today, well it’s a totally different story. It’s supposed to be 50’s and cloudy today and rainy the rest of the week.

I have a quick CAS card for you today using one of my absolute favorite sets from the mini catalog. As most of you know I’m not a fan of Yellow. Stampin’ Up!’s Lemon Lolly has changed my mind. I think this is my favorite yellow ever. 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! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set along with the Radiating Stitches Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the daisy image and sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I colored the daisy centers using the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the panel using the largest Radiating Stitched Dies. I adhered the card front to a Lemon Lolly mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Lemon Lolly ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered card front to a Basic White thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the daisy image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the flower centers using Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Daisies 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the daisy image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set on the envelope front and flap. I colored the flower centers using Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is your weekend going? I was at work all day yesterday and I’ll be working all day today too. It rained and rained all day yesterday. It was a slow day at work, which tends to make the day long. Luckily the people I work with are all fun and we like to talk.

I have a fun card with lots of layers. I LOVE making cards with layers. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set, Sending Dies, Scalloped Contour Dies and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper for my card today. Because Valentine’s Day is over it doesn’t mean you can’t still use this adorable DSP.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bee Mine DSP to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Petal Pink using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the center of the die cut panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Sending Dies, I cut the sentiment mat from a panel of Sweet Sorbet and the detailed sentiment from a panel of Basic Whtie.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the detailed die to the mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a strip of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the Sending Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bumblebee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Tuxedo Black Ink above the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Bee Mine DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Sending Smiles 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bumble bee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set on the envelope front in Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Tuxedo Balck Inks. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy March!!! Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? Last night I went to a fund raiser with all the ladies I work with from the Hungry Hound Dog Bakery. It’s a lady’s night out and we’ve gone the past few years, it’s for Pediatric Brain Cancer. It’s a silent auction and there’s always a theme. Last night’s theme was Boots and Bling. We all wore different color blingy Cowboy hats that lit up. We laughed and had such a good time. The fund raiser was a huge success too. Here’s a picture of our group that won for the best group category.

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! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle along with the Online Exclusive Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper for my card today. This suite will be available starting in March.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Liquid Glue only on the bottom half of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the smaller panel of Flowering Zinnias to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card base together using Liquid Glue on the 1 1/4″ section to make a binder look. I adhered the layered panel to the 1 1/4″ section of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large zinnia image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using my Banner Pick A Punch, I cut both ends. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adfhesive-Back Shining Sequins (available March 5) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I adhered a Basic White panel to a Mango Melody mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base. I stamped the smaller zinnia and the leaf images from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the images out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the images using Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the zinnia to the bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flower using Glue Dots. I added 1 of the Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the center of the zinnia.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large zinnia image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias 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.

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Well, the month is just about over and so is Sale-a-bration. I hope you’ve gotten all the free goodies that you were wanting. We actually had spring like weather here in NJ yesterday and we’re expecting the same today with rain. I’m done with the cold, I’m ready for the warm weather to get here so I can start fixing my gardens up. How about you?

Today’s card is the last one that I made using Sale-a-bration product. I also used some new Online Exclusive products that will be available starting on March 5th. If you like pink, then this card is definitely for you. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Hreee’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood in Pink 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood in Pink 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the detailed magnolia using the Magnolia Mood Dies from a panel of Basic White. I adhered the die cut to a Flight & Airy DSP card front using dots of Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large magnolia image from the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image using Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Magnolia Mood Dies. I adhered a piece of Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack in a Z on the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the large magnolia to the card front on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood in Pink 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is your week going? I can’t wait for spring to get here. We get a little bit warmer of a day and I think that spring might just show up a little quicker.

Today’s card is one of the cards we made at the workshop on Sunday. I have 2 versions to show you since I made one ahead of time and I stamped one with the ladies at the workshop. They are both identical except for the DSP I used. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' UP! Stippled Roses 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set along with the Nested Essentials Dies, Online Exclusive Deckled Circles Dies and Sale-a-bration Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hellos Cling Stamp Set and Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper for my card today. The Sale-a-bration stamp set and DSP are only available until Thursday February 29th with qualifying orders of $50. Did you know, if you purchase the Stippled Roses Bundle you can get this pack of Softly Stippled DSP for free and it goes perfectly with the set.

Stampin' UP! Stippled Roses 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered a narrow panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the side of the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Stippled Roses 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a circle from a panel of Basic White using the Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped part of the large rose image form the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the circle. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' UP! Stippled Roses 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies keeping the sentiment towards the bottom of the die. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Seal letting the top of the die cut hang off. I cut the excess using Paper Snips. I added a 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the sentiment and a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the artwork.

Stampin' UP! Stippled Roses 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Baic White. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink (Wild Wheat on the 2nd card) over the sentiment. I stamped the large leaf image from the Stippled Roses stamp set on either side of the panel in Pebbled Path Ink. I adhered a strip of Softly Stippled DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pebbled Path mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' UP! Stippled Roses 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink (Wild Wheat on the other card) on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the envelope flap.

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:   T9JKA3XQ

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.
