Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow CAS

God Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Starting today, Stampin’ Up! has an awesome joining special. All the details are below. I hope if you’ve ever thought about joining, this will be the month you join. Don’t forget as I mentioned yesterday, if you would like to join, there are new Online Exclusives that demonstrators can purchase early, and you can add those to your starter kit.

I have a super quick Christmas card for you today. This is another one of those easy to duplicate multiples of. If you’d like to see how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set along with the Labels Aglow Dies and Joyful Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Joyful Spec. DSP to a Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Cherry Cobbler, I stamped the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Labels Aglow Dies.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of Simply Elegant Trim to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the top of the panel using the Labels Aglow Dies. I added some Loose Holly Gems & Sequins by the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Joyful Spec DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set in Cherry cobbler Ink on the envelope front.

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:   WRAGYZRS

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!  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.

Product List

Stampin’ Up! Joining Special Starts Tomorrow!!

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend. It turned out to be beautiful here yesterday, which was great for our town. They had our annual Street Fair yesterday, and they had a perfect day for it. This was the first one since covid since last year’s got rained on. I didn’t go since I was at work doing the bills. I did have to run my daughter into work, since there was no parking unless she wanted to walk a mile. All the streets were closed so we had to drive out of the way to get there.

There’s a lot going on in the Stampin’ Up! community starting tomorrow starting with the joining special. October is an awesome month to join and starting tomorrow there are some new Online Exclusives that only demonstrators can purchase to play with. Wait until you see them. I’m so excited to place my order. They will be available to customers starting in November. If you sign up starting tomorrow, you can add some of these new items to your starter kit. If you join us for our World Card Making Day Event this Saturday, you’ll get to see some of my team members doing live videos.

Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Fall Thank You

Good Sunday morning stamping friends, Happy October. I can’t believe it’s October already. It’s warming up here in NJ for the next few days so it kind of feels like we should be back to August. I’m guessing this is our Indian summer that we get every year. I hope your weekend is going well. I’ll be at work all day today getting the bills ready to mail out.

I have a quick card for you today playing with products from the Annual Catalog that I haven’t played with in a while. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Around The Bend Dies, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of all About Autumn DSP using the Around The Bend Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set on the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel in Copper Clay Ink.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the Very Vanilla panel using the Leaf Fall EF. I adhered the die cut DSP” to the top of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack around the layered panel twice and ties a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Copper Clay card base using Stampin’ Dimensonals. I added a few Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Around The Bend stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Using the scraps that came off the bottom of the die cut card front, I cut the leaves from Around The Bend Dies and adhered them to the top of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from Around The Bend stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front, stamping off on scrap paper once. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Easel Fold

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. It’s still raining here in NJ. Yesterday was pretty bad with flooding. It took my husband well over an hour to get home because of all the roads closed because of floods. We’re expecting more rain today, but tomorrow it’s supposed to be up in the 80’s again until Wednesday with no rain. Hopefully it will help to dry things up a little and turn the rest of my tomoatoes red.

Today’s card idea I got from a team member of mine Rosie Kean. She made a similar card a few weeks back and I really liked it. I used a couple different techniques on the card using the Blending Brushes and Baby Wipe Technique which is one of my favorites to use in the fall. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made the card, Click Here to see my Instagram Reel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the Aspen Trees Dies, Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Basic White card front using the Aspen Trees Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I took a panel of the Naturally Gilded DSP and using my Blending Brushes added Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie Inks. I adhered the panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Crushed Curry easel card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut embossed card front to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Autumn Leaves Dies, I cut the maple leaf from a panel of Cajun Craze, Oak leaf from a panel of Crushed Curry and Elm leaves from a panel of Pumpkin Pie.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I took 2 folded baby wipes and put them in an empty stamp case. I added drops of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie from Stampin’ Ink Refills. I love this technique for the fall because every leaf comes out different. I inked the large maple leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and stamped it on a panel of Basic White. I cut the leaf out using the Autumn Leave Dies and the leaf veins from a panel of Oxidized Copper paper and adhered it to the stamped leaf. I adhered the leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the oak and elm leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few silver Naturals Adhesive Backed Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink. I stamped 2 maple leaves from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in the top corners of the panel using the same inked baby wipes. You can see how each leaf stamps differently. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on top of the stamped leaves. I adhered a strip of the Naturally Gilded DSP to the bottom of the panel, which I had brushed Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie Inks on with my Blending Brushes. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base. I added the small die cut maple leaf on the bottom of the panel, where I wanted the easel to stop, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the maple leaf from the Autumn Leaves stamp set on the envelope front and flap using the same inked up baby wipes. Once again you can see how every leaf is different. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the stamped leaf.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 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!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   WRAGYZRS

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!  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! Beary Cute 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 Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper and Deckled Circles Dies for my card today

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by wrapping a piece of White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack around the Beary Christmas DSP card front twice and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Deckled Circles Dies, I cut out 2 circles from panels of Beary Christmas DSP and one from a panel of Misty Moonlight. On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the sitting bear image from the Beary Cute stamp set in Smoky Skate Ink. I stamped the scarf image from the Beary Cute stamp set on the bear in Flirty Flamingo Ink. I colored the stripes using the Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Write Marker. I fussy cut the image using Paper Snips. I adhered the largest circle to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just under the twine. I adhered the bear to the large circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.. I adhered the other medium DSP circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the smallest circle die, I stamped the sentiment from the Beary Cute stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beary Cute stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the larger and small bear images from the Beary Cute stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Smoky Slate Ink. I adhered a strip of Beary Christmas DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large and small bear images from the Beary Cute stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the scarf & hat images from the Beary Cute stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the larger bear. I colored the stripes using the Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of Beary Christmas 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! Framed Foliage 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the fall image from the Framed Foliage stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Real red and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the bottom of the panel using the torn edge die from the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

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

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! Magical Meadow Hello

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off good. It’s still raining here in NJ. I’m really hoping it stops soon, I know rain is good, but this is getting old.

I played with some new items again for today’s card including another one of the Online Exclusive DSP’s. If you’d like to see a quick video of my card, click HERE to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set, Rustic Crate Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Tartan Foil Specialty Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Copper Clay card front using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered a panel of Tartan Foil Paper to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Gue. I adhered the layered panel to a Copper Clay mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around the matted panel and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Night of Navy, I cut the 4 sprig dies from the Magical Meadow Dies and the sentiment from the Rustic Crate Dies. I adhered the sprigs to the card front just under the bow.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the sentiment to the top of the panel. I adhered the layered card front panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the foliage images from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel in Night of Navy Ink, one stamped off 2 times on scrap paper, one stamped off 1 time on scrap paper and 1 full strength. I adhered the Basic Whtie Panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the foliage images from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Tartan Foil Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I ho9pe you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow CAS

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a very wet and rainy one here in NJ and it’s continuing through today.

I have a super quick and easy card for you today that you can make multiple of in no time. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set along with the Online Exclusive Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper and the Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set on the bottom of a Real Red panel in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Traditions of St. Nick DSP to the top of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Real Red Ribbon from the real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack around the layered panel and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the panel using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I took my Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker and edged the sides of the panel. I adhered the basic White panel to the center of the inner liner mat.
