Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends Happy February!!! A new month already. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it being February already. Winter usually goes very slow for me since I hate the cold. We’ll see tomorrow what the ground hog has to say about winter staying or spring around the corner.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #188 is Floral Valentine.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Photopolymer Stamp Set and the 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the colors, the tulips in the photo and the overall theme this week.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 188.  How are you inspired by the photo?

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tulip stem from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink 3 times and the leaf image 3 times. I stamped the smaller tulip image from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I stamped the details image full strength and the fill image stamped off once on scrap paper. I stamped the larger tulip image from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink, stamping it the same as I did for the smaller tulip. I cut the image out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set on the top of the die cut panel in Tuxedo Black Ink.

I adhered the artwork to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the tulip image from the Flowering Tulips stamp set on the bottom of the panel stamping the stem in Parakeet Party Ink and the tulip in Polished Pink Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tulip images from the Flowering Tulips stamp set on the envelope front in Polished Pink, Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party. I adhered a panel of 2021-2023 In-Color 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! Catch You Later Childs Birthday Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I’ll be prepping all day for our Easter brunch tomorrow. I’m looking forward to getting together with my niece and her daughter. Yesterday I made my Easter Egg bread. I started around 7am and didn’t take the last one out of the oven until 7pm. I made 8 loaves that I’ll be sharing with others. My family couldn’t wait to cut into the 1st one out of the oven and I have to admit neither could I. Here’s a picture of the 1st one out which is about 13″-14″ in diameter. They all came out perfect this year, YAY!!!

Today’s card is one that one of my cashiers asked me to make for her. Her grandson is turning 2 and loves monkeys, so I knew exactly what I wanted to make for her. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Catch You Later Cling Stamp Set along with the 2021-2023 In-Color Designer Series Paper, In the Wild Designer Series Paper, Playful Alphabet Dies and the Hippo & Friends Dies. All these items will be retiring, so if these are products you like grab them while you still can.

I started by adhering a panel of 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to a Soft Succulent card base. I stamped the monkey image from the Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and colored it using my Crumb Cake, Evening Evergreen, Flirty Flamingo & Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I cut a panel of In the Wild DSP using the size larger die from the Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a piece of Evening Evergreen Bakers Twine from the Fan Baker’s Twine Pack on the card front and adhered the layered panel over it using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock that I had adhered to a Foam Adhesive Sheet, I cut the letters and number using the Playful Alphabet Dies. I adhered the letters down the side of the card front.

I adhered the #2 on the monkey’s foot on the artwork. I added a few Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

I adhered a panel of In the Wild DSP to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the monkey image from the Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it the same as the card front with my Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the 2 sentiments from the Catch You Later stamp set by the monkey image. From the panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock I cut 2 of the string dies from the Hippo & Friends Dies. I cut 2 of the balloons from the Hippo & Friends Dies from scraps of Daffodil Delight and Real Red cardstock. I adhered the strings to the monkeys hands using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the balloons to the strings using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the monkey image from the Catch You Later stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card using my Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Dahlia Days with Butterflies & Flowers Masks

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s been a wet one so far here and unfortunately, we got a bit of water inside this time. I’m done with the rain now, we need a long dry spell to happen. Our backyard is a sponge and when you walk the water splashes up. I worked all day yesterday and I have off today. I wasn’t sure why they gave me off Sunday again. Turns out I got a reminder that I have a team meeting and I must have requested off.

Today’s card I played with some retiring items again. Sometimes I just wish some of the things I like could stay on much longer. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dahlia Days Cling Stamp Set along with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks for my card today.

I started by placing the thin lined Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Mask on a Basic White panel and securing it with Post-It tape. I added Fresh Freesia Ink using my Blending Brush. I turned the mask and lining up the thick lined flower on top and added Fresh Freesia Ink using my Blending Brush. I did this twice on the panel moving my mask.

I stamped the leaves and sprig images from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flowers. I embossed the panel using my Tasteful Textures 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the front of a Baic White Thick card base.

I adhered a length of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon on the card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fresh Freesia Loose Flower Flourishes to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the Mask using Post-It tape and added Fresh Freesia Ink using my Blending Brush. I stamped the leaves and sprig images from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Basic White thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I colored the flowers the same as I did for the card front on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. The Masks, Stamp Set and Embossing Folder will all be retiring and are only while supplies last. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Jar of Flowers

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you were able to take some time for yourself.

Today’s card I used an older set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, using all the new 2021-2023 in-Colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Jar of Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set for today’s card.

My design is from the Just Add Ink Challenge #558.

I also played along with Inspire. Create Challenge #092.

I started by adhering a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Soft Succulent card base using Stampin’ Seal. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to an Evening Evergreen mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Jar Of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Layering Circles Dies. I cut a scalloped circle from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock using my Layering Circles Dies and adhered the artwork to the scalloped mat using Stampin’ Seal then to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I made a small bow using the Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the artwork using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Jar Of Flowers stamp set on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Freesia Color and Contour

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Hope you are all making the best of it and having some fun.

Today’s card uses some of the 2021-2023 In-Colors. I’m really loving these new colors this year. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Bundle for my card along with the beautiful 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum Paper.

I played along with Festive Friday Challenge #084. I have Green, Die Cuts & Flowers.

I started by stamping the outline flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower fill image in Fresh Freesia Ink over the outline image. I cut the flower out using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I cut the middle scallop frame from Scalloped Contours Dies from the Basic White panel. Using my Blending Brushes, I added some Soft Succulent Ink on the scalloped frame. I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the frame. I adhered the flower to the frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I embossed a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum Paper using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. I adhered the Vellum panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just behind where I was putting the frame. I adhered the matted card front to a Fresh Freesia card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a length of Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the artwork over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love What You Do Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink to the side of the sentiment. I stamped the flower fill color in Fresh Freesia Ink over the outline image. I adhered a strip of the 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum Paper to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal only on the sides. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the outline flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower fill image in Fresh Freesia Ink. I adhered a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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