Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you weekend is going well. Yesterday was a long day, but a very enjoyable one celebrating my son’s engagement. By the time I got home, I just wanted to crash.

Before I get started with my card, I want to thank all that participated in my fundraiser. Unfortunately, we did not make the goal of $500, but we did donate $235. Thank you so very much for being a part of raising money for the Texas flooding.

I did a fun technique for today’s card called the Spotlight Technique. I love doing this technique, it’s so easy and it brings your eye to one focal point. 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 for today.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set, Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and the 1 7/8″ & 2″ Circle Punches for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch, punch out a section of the Beautiful Gallery DSP card front. Using the 2″ Circle Punch, punch out a section of the Secret Sea mat. Adhere the Beautiful Gallery DSP card front to the Secret Sea mat. Adhere the layered panel to the Basic Beige card base with Liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Color the punched-out section of the Beautiful Gallery DSP with Cloud Cover, Old Olive and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the colored panel to the 2″ Secret Sea mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front where you punched out the panel, lining up the flowers and stems, with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the pane of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Adhere a piece of Secret Sea 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon to the card front. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Pressed Flower Motifs to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Stamp the swish image from Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Stamp the small flower image from Gallery Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea In on the bottom of the panel. Color the image with Old Olive and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the side of the panel, coloring one of the flower images with Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs Spotlight 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the large floral image from Gallery Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope front. Color one of the flowers with Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and the leaves with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the envelope flap coloring 1 image on the DSP with Old Olive and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful week. We stayed until Magic Kingdom closed on Wednesday and had such a great time going on rides, walking around, eating some great food and of course seeing the fabulous firework show. Yesterday we spent the whole day at Epcot. The wine and food festival is going on, so we tried some great food. I was able to get my caramel apple from Germany that’s made with Werther’s Caramels. I’ve waited 4 1/2 years to get another one of these apples. After having one here, I don’t want any others. One of my husband’s co-workers happen to be here in Disney and we met up with him and his wife for a delicious dinner in Canada, at Le Cellier Steakhouse. Today we’re off to Universal Studios. This will be the 1st time we’ve ever gone there, so I can’t wait to see what’s there.

Today’s card is one that we made at our monthly stamping studio last Tuesday for our mystery stamping portion of the meeting. Jaimie sent us all the measurements and talked us through the process of putting the card together. I decided I wanted to use some of the new Online Exclusive products that will be available starting November 5th. If you are interested in getting these products early, let me know, I’d be happy to talk to you about signing up to be a demonstrator and you can add them to your starter kit. Here’s my card for today.

From panels of Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock, cut 3 each of the greenery die from the Otterly Amazing Dies. Punch 2 circles using the 2″ Circle Punch from a panel of Pretty Peacock. Adhere the circle sentiment to the Pretty Peacock circle mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the greenery to the back of the Pretty Peacock circle using Glue Dots. Adhere the 2nd circle to the back of the layered sentiment using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered circle to the right card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers

Good Monday morning stamping friends Happy April and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? Did you all have a nice Easter?

Today’s card I played with something different for me. I mixed up some retiring p9roducts with some that’s carrying over and some new. 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! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelope pack along with the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Bundle, 2″ Circle Punch and Stampin’ Up! Flower Cart Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. These cards & envelope pack will be retiring at the end of the month. I’ve never used them before and I don’t know why, it made such an elegant card.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by coloring the roses on the front of the Gold Foiled Flowers card base using the new 2024-2026 In-Color Pretty Ink Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Stippled Roses Dies, I cut the flowers from a panel of Pretty Ink Pink and the leaves from a panel of Shy Shamrock (both of these colors will be available starting May 1st). I adhered the flowers to the leaves using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Cling Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered a piece of Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves with the flowers under the sentiment using Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Flower Cart stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Pretty In Pink and shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pretty In Pink mat then to the inside of the Gold Foiled Flowers card base.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses with Gold Foiled Flowers 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated the Very Vanilla envelope that comes with the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes. I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Pretty In Pink and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. The envelope flap was already die cut.

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Were you able to enjoy some time outside? I was in all weekend, between working, the storms and the heat & humidity, I wanted nothing to do with outside. I did have to take Coraline for multiple walks though. For some reason when I’m home, she seems to need me to take her out walking every couple hours. When she’s home with my husband and daughter she sleeps all day.

I have a quick card for you today that could be a wedding card, an anniversary card, a birthday card or anything else you want to celebrate with someone. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Gorgeous Garden Dies, 2″ Circle Punch and Bough Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Basic White card front using the Gorgeous Garden Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut card front to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On panels of Basic White, I stamped 2 leaf images and the flower image from the Layering Leaves stamp set 2 times each in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Bough Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and flowers under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Gue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Layereing Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the 2nd set of leaves and flowers to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Monochromatic 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and flower images from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap.

  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! So Refreshing Friendship Card

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works? I’ll be working today, but we will be closing the store early for a staff event. The owner is taking the entire staff and guest to a Somerset Patriots Game tonight, this is our local team that is associated with the New York Yankees. There’s more socializing going on than watching the game LOL. He gets us the picnic area that comes with food and drinks and the night is finished off with a firework show. We went last year, and it was a lot of fun. It’s one of the managers birthdays, so husband daughter and I worked together and made cupcakes to bring. The last count going was 50 people. It really is a lot of fun to get together with everyone outside of the store.

Today’s card is one that we made at our Stamp Camp this past week. I thought I’d have the ladies make a nice refreshing summer card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Timeless
Arrangements Photopolymer Stamp Set
, Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder, Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and 2″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Sweet Citrus Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the pitcher and glass outline images from the Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the pitcher and glass solid images from the So Refreshing stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the detail lemon image in Daffodil Delight Ink full strength, and the solid lemon image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on top of the detailed image. I stamped the lemon slice image from the So Refreshing stamp set in the pitcher in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the ice cube image in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, in the pitcher. I cut all the images out using the So refreshing Dies. I cut the detailed leaves from the So Refreshing Dies out of a panel of Granny Apple Green. I cut the tablecloth die from the So Refreshing Dies out of a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP. I adhered the blanket to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the pitcher and glasses using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves to the lemons using Glue Dots then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the So Refreshing stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the outline pitcher image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid pitcher image from So Refreshing stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the lemon slice image in Daffodil Delight Ink and the ice cubes in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a strip of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pitcher and lemons on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Pop Up Baby Girl for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. We’ve made it through another week and this was a different one. I’ve spent most of the week inside unfortunately. Tuesday afternoon it got really windy here and very smokey. My daughter came running inside closing windows thinking there was a house on our street or the next block on fire. There was not, it was the smoke from the horrible fires in Canada coming down. I’ve never seen anything like that before. Wednesday afternoon my husband said we were the worst in the area. Because of my asthma I just kept myself inside.

Today’s card is one that we made at last Sunday’s team meeting. This card was designed by my team member Carmelita Gordon, and it is just the cutest card ever. I’m not going to be able to explain the whole card, I was going to make one on my live Wednesday afternoon, but I ended up with a bad migraine and just needed to relax. I will make one live so I can explain and show you how to make it soon. I used the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Bundle along with the Stargazing Designer Series Paper, 2023-2025 In- Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, the Decorative Circle Punch and 2″ Circle Punch for the card.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamer Pop Up Baby Girl 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding the large and small card bases. I adhered panels of 2023-2025 In-Color DSP to Moody Mauve mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Bubble Bath card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the back of the large card base. I adhered the small front card base to the larger card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue only on the right side.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamer Pop Up Baby Girl 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the lion, cow, elephant stars and star with rainbow images from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored all the images using Basic Black, Berry Burst Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Lemon Lolly, Moody Mauve, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Little Dreamers Dies. I adhered the lion to the front of the small card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamer Pop Up Baby Girl 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White and punched it out using the 2″ Circle Punch. From a panel of Fresh Freesia, I cut 2 of the Decorative Circles Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the Fresh Freesia circle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered circle to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just in the center. I added the star with the rainbow using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamer Pop Up Baby Girl 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

After adhering the pop-up mechanism on the inside, I adhered the cow and stars to the Fresh Freesia circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkel Gems to the back panel.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamer Pop Up Baby Girl 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the elephant using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. From a scrap of Lemon Lolly, I cut the moon using the Little Dreamers Dies. I adhered the moon under the elephant using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the back of the card based using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamer Pop Up Baby Girl 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cow image from the Little Dreamers stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the cluster of stars and star with the rainbow images from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope flap. I colored all the images the same as I did for the card.

Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings 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! Circle Sayings Smile 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set, Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the 2″ Circle Punch for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings Smile 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings Smile 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a smaller panel of the Hello Irresistible DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings Smile 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the banner sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I wanted the sentiment to fit the smaller punch, so I bent it a little to fit before stamping. I stamped the flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off on scrap paper, under the sentiment. I stamped the smile sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set over the flower in Lost Lagoon Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered 2 pieces of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the circle sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Loose Frosted Dots using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings Smile 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sun burst image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink above the sentiment. I stamped the flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost lagoon mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings Smile 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the flower. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelolpe 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:   BR9XGSTC

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 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini 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.
