Register for Pretty Poinsettia Christmas in July Online Class Ends Friday

Tara and I are teaming up to offer a Christmas in July Online Class featuring the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Poinsettia Bundle and 2026-2028 In-Color Gingham Gallery DSP. To ensure we can get the products for you the sign-up time is very short. We want to ensure that we are able to get the embossing folders for everyone and the bundle if you wish to order it. We are offering the bundle to you at an additional 10% discount (see price on form). We will be creating 6 different cards during the class including 2 Fun Fold cards. Click Here to register.

The class fee includes:

Stampin’ Up! Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels (full pack)
Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folder
Pre-cut card kits to complete each card
Zoom class with complete instructions to complete each card

During sign up you will have the option to add additional items to your order that you can take advantage of at no additional shipping cost. These items are optional, however if you want to recreate the cards you will need them. If you’ve attended a previous class, you were given a discount code, there is a spot to put that code on the form and the discount only applies to the products that you check off that you wish to purchase, not the class. Since the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle is already discounted, the discount does not apply to that.

The class will be held Sunday July 26th from 1 to 4 pm Eastern Time via Zoom. This allows anyone in the United States to participate live! Can’t join us live… no worries, we will record the session so it can be replayed at any time.

I will email written directions that will include directions, cardstock cuts as well as photos to help you create each card.

Class Cost $40 + $10 (Shipping)

Additional purchased items will be included in the above shipping price. I will invoice you through PayPal and invoices must be paid by July 10th to insure I can get the products. Sign up by Clicking Here.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations

Posted on June 28, 2026 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a nice weekend. It’s a rainy cool one here in NJ. Luckily my plans for the weekend are all inside. Today Tara and I will run our June Online Class. We always enjoy stamping with everyone that joins in.

I did a little emboss resist technique for today’s card. I haven’t done that in a while, and I thought the new background stamp coming with the July Online Exclusives was a perfect one to use for it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Foliage Stamp Set (available July 1), Stampin’ Up! Sending Salutations Stamp Set, Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper and the Circle Punches for my card today.

My sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #742

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the leaf image from Sweet Foliage stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Using the Blending Brush, go over the entire panel with Peaceful Pine Ink. Wipe gently with a tissue when you’ve added the amount of color you want, to take any ink off the embossed parts. Adhere the panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the front of the Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Flirty Flamingo under a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. Adhere the layered panel to the card front. Adhere a Floral Flight Accent to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White cut a circle using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. From a panel of Peaceful Pine cut a circle using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. From a panel of Flirty Flamingo cut a circle using the 2″ Circle Punch. Stamp the sentiment from the Sending Salutations stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the 1 3/4″ circle. Adhere the Basic White circle to the Peaceful Pine circle then to the Flirty Flamingo circle. Adhere the layered circles to the card front over the Floral Flight Accents with Stampin’ Dimensonals.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Sending Salutations stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Foliage Sending Salutations 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the sentiment from Sending Salutations stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to the envelope flap.

Starting June 30, New Join Experience

Beginning June 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM MT, Stampin’ Up! is introducing a simplified join process designed to make joining faster and easier than ever before! The new process will create a more streamlined experience when you join!

As part of the new join process, all first-time demonstrators (beginning June 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM MT) will receive a surprise Welcome Box—a gesture of appreciation and a warm welcome into the global Stampin’ Up! creative community!

How the New Process Works

Step 1: Join

New demonstrators will:

choose a team leader.
accept required agreements.
enter a few personal details.
pay the $100 join fee.
click submit.

Step 2: Shop

Once their information has been reviewed and approved (usually very quickly), their Welcome Box ships, and the new demonstrator receives an email with:

their demonstrator ID.
a coupon code to begin shopping.

About the Coupon Code

Valued at $125.
Coupon code can be applied to any demonstrator order.
Order CAN exceed the coupon code value (I know that many people wanted the option to be able to add more than $125 to their Starter Kit!).
Any amount above the coupon code value:
- receives the demonstrator discount.
- counts toward the quarterly sales minimum.
- earns Stampin’ Rewards if it meets the qualifying purchase amount (as long as you’ve opted into the Stampin’ Rewards program).

Additional perk for new demonstrators

New demonstrators may add eight free catalogs to any order!

Let me know if you have any questions about the new joining process. I’m so happy that you’ll now have the option to go over the $125 amount AND that it will automatically count toward your sales!

Why not start thinking about joining the Stampin’ Up! community. I’d love to have you on my team and July is the perfect time to sign up. Contact me at: creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. We’re a very relaxed team that loves to create and share.

Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Eclipse

Posted on April 22, 2026 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends, Happy Earth Day!! We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

I have a fun card for you today doing a technique that I haven’t done in a while. It does take a minute to do, but the end results are well worth it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Eclipse 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Stamp Set along with the gorgeous Scenic Coast 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper (both products will be available starting May 5) and the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Eclipse 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of the Scenic Coast DSP to a Blueberry Bushel card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Eclipse 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Take another panel of the same Scenic Coast DSP and cut it into 1/2″ strips. Adhere the strips to the card front, using every other strip, with Stampin’ Dimensionals or Foam Adhesive Strips.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Eclipse 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. Punch the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Sunset Sparkle Sequins (available May 5), to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Eclipse 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere 2 strips of the Scenic Coast DSP on either side of a panel of Basic White. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Eclipse 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope to finish your card. Adhere a strip of Scenic Coast DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Paradise Garden Sunflowers

Posted on February 25, 2026 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good snowy Wednesday morning stamping friends. Yup, another 2″ of snow to shovel this morning. At this rate, I’m not going to see my lawn and gardens until May. I hope you are having a good week; we’re already halfway through it and this is the last week of February.

For today’s card I did some dry embossing on Vellum. As a lot of you know, I’m not a fan of orange, but I love Timid Tiger. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Sunflower 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder along with the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Garden Stamp Set (available March 3), Vellum Specialty Paper and Stampin’ Up! Notes & Totes Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Sunflower 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a panel of Vellum Paper using the Sunflower EF. On the back of the embossed panel, color the sunflower centers using the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the embossed panel to a panel of Timid Tiger.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Sunflower 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Wrap a piece of the Timid Tiger 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon around the panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Petal Pink card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.. Go over the front of the embossed panel flower centers with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Sunflower 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Paradise Garden stamp set in Timid Tiger Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the splatter image from the Notes & Totes stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the sentiment. Punch the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Punch a mat from a panel of Petal Pink using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the mat. Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Sunflower 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Notes & Totes stamp set in Timid Tiger Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the splatter image from the Notes & Totes stamp set in Petal Pink by the sentiment. Stamp the small flower image from the Paradise Garden stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Timid Tiger mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Sunflower 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the small flower image from the Paradise Garden stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front 2 times. Adhere a panel of 2025-2027 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Sunflower 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Embossed 1 creativestampingdeisngs.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Bundle along with the Damasks Designs 3D Embossing Folder, Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our theme this week. I did Dry and Heat Embossing on my card.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Embossed 2 creativestampingdeisngs.com

Emboss a panel of Basic Beige with the Damasks Designs EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Calypso Coral mat. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Embossed 3 creativestampingdeisngs.com

Adhere a panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Calypso Coral mat. Adhere the layered panel to the embossed card front, vertically. Adhere another panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Calypso Coral mat. Wrap a piece of 3/8″ Basic Beige Classic Ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to the card front, horizontally overlapping the vertical panel.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Embossed 4 creativestampingdeisngs.com

Using the Beautiful Motifs Dies, cut 2 flowers from a panel of Old Olive, 2 flowers from a panel of Calypso Coral and the leaf die from a panel of Mossy Meadow. Cut the Calypso Coral flowers off the stems and adhere them to the Old Olive stems over the flowers. Create a small bouquet and adhere it just under the bow. On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Photopolymer Stamp set in Versamarik Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Copper Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Cut a panel of Calypso Coral using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the Calypso Coral mat then adhere it to the card front, over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Pressed Flowers Motifs to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Embossed 5 creativestampingdeisngs.com

Stamp the sentiment from Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the swish image from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Stamp the floral image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks

Posted on July 13, 2025 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Yesterday turned out to be a nice day, once the humidity lifted. I was able to take my 2 pups for a walk after dinner and not work up a sweat.

Today’s card we made at our monthly team meeting on Tuesday night. Jaimie sent us all the measurements and talked us through the process of creating the card. Our cards were all similar but different. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Bundle along with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and 1 3/4″ Circle Punch for my card.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a panel of Fresh Freesia using the Eyelet EF. Using your Fresh Freesia stamp pad, swipe across the embossed panel to ink the raised images. Adhere the embossed panel to a Basic White mat with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Floral Impressions DSP to the bottom of the embossed panel with Liquid Glue. Wrap a piece of 1/4″ Misty Moonlight Ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Impressions Abloom Dies, cut 2 of the leaf dies from a panel of Pool Party and 6 tiny flowers from a panel of Fresh Freesia. Adhere the die cut leaves to the card front with Glue Dots. Adhere the tiny flowers on the leaves with Glue Dots. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the stem and leaf images from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the small, detailed flower image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink on the stems. Stamp the small, solid flower image over the detailed image in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Stamp the flower centers in Lemon Lolly Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the small flower image from the Impressions Abloom stamp set across the envelope front the same as you did for the inside of the card. Adhere a panel of Floral Impressions DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th. It’s beyond horrible. Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially. I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now. I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation.

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.
- You’ll earn your Creative Stamping Designs Rewards with all order of $50 or more (before tax & shipping).
- Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

OR…

2. – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Mercury One at this LINK

For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Mercury One and you’ll be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be give away on July 20th.

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses. Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine.

NOTE: Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight Eastern Time on Saturday July 19 to be entered to win the machine. One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Sunday July 20th from all of the entries received.

Any questions, please send me an email to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com. I appreciate your help more than I can express.
