Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips with Painted Stripes & Last Day To Register for Online Zoom Class

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!!! It’s Flag Day in the US. Did you know that this day commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first national flag? Be sure to be flying those flags high today. Whatever your plans for today or the weekend are, I hope you all have fun.

Today’s card is another one that we made at our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. We are all having so much fun creating with this Online Exclusive Suite. If you’re liking what you have seen lately, you might want to register for our Online Class at the end of this month, but today’s the last day to do that. Today’s card was designed by one of my amazing team members, Nicole Bloxom. Nicole will actually be joining Tara and me for our August Class as a presenter, which I’m really looking forward to. Here’s my card for today designed by Nicole.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies CAS

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works yet for the weekend? I’m actually working both days this weekend. I have 2 of my cashiers out with surgery and one away for the weekend, so I had to jump in and work extra.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. We’re just about to the end of January too, which means Sale-a-bration is halfway through.

I mixed up some things for today’s card. I love using stamp sets and DSP that are not in a suite together. 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 Butterflies Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder and Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a Basic White card front using the Beautiful Butterflies EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere 2 panels of Wildflower Birthday DSP to 2 Blueberry Bushel mats using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the 1st layered panel to the left side of the card front towards the top using Liquid Glue. Adhere the 2nd layered panel next to the 1st slightly down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. Adhere the sentiment panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhered the layered panel to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Stampin’ Seal. Add a few Party Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the butterfly image from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink next to the sentiment. Cut the 2″ X 2″ panel of Wildflower Birthday DSP in half on an angle. Adhere the 2 triangles to the corners of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the butterfly images from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Blueberry Bushel and Pretty in Pink Inks on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Wildflower Birthday 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.

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! Beautiful Butterflies in Yellow

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s cold and windy here in NJ so my plan is to stay inside today. Last I heard there’s a snowstorm heading our way. Depending on which way the storm turns will determine if we’re getting 2″- 4″ or 8″-10″. That’s what everyone was saying at work yesterday when they were running in and picking up bags of salt, sand and snow shovels.

For my card today I went out of my comfort zone with the colors. As a lot of you know I’m not a huge fan of orange and yellow, but it worked well with the Sale-a-bration DSP. I got the design from my upline, Jaimie. It’s another super simple card showing off new products coming on Tuesday.  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.

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.

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.
