Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #214 is Valentine Fun. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Photopolymer Stamp Set, Country Lace Designer Series Paper and Memorable Blooms Dies for my Clean and Simple card today. I was inspired by the flowers and books in the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 214.  How are you inspired by the photos?

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! Bird’s Eye View for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is anyone making plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day today and tomorrow. I had yesterday off for my daughter’s graduation. It was a very long day, my daughter had to be there by 7am so she had to catch the 5am train. My husband, son and I caught the 6:30am train. Taking the train was much easier than driving there since it wasn’t at the college itself. The guest speaker was Neil deGrasse Tyson an Acclaimed astrophysicist, who my daughter really likes. She’s all done and it’s on to work and her PHD.

Today’s card was a special one I made and had to hide it since it was for my daughter’s graduation. I had to pull out a lot of stamp sets for this card to get it exactly how I wanted it. Surprisingly with everything I used, it ended up being only Stamps, Ink & Paper (and a little gem). Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Happy Little Things Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 1″ X 4″ panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the top 1 1/4″ section of the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4″ X 4″ panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″ Night of Navy card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Night of Navy card base, only on the bottom front 2 1/8″ section using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the books (3 times) and bird images from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the glasses image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Highland Heather Ink (because my daughter’s glasses are purple), on the bird. I colored the images using Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut all the images using Paper Snips. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Little Things stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the panel of Basic White and fussy cut it using Paper Snips. I adhered 2 stacks of books, the bird and sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Iridescent Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I stamped the outline sentiment from the Happy Little Things stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the 1″ X 4″ panel of Basic White. I colored it in using the Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the sentiment to the Boho Blue mat then to the 1 1/4″ scored section on the inside of the Night of Navy card base. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere and Lovely & Sweet stamp sets in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Boho Blue mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base,

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I placed the fussy cut stack of books on top of the stamped stack of books using Stampin’ Dimensionals for the stopper of the easel card.,

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird and stack of books from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the glassed image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the bird. I colored the images using Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! In The Moment for The Card Concepts.

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend.

We’re back with inspiration challenges from The Card Concepts. We will be doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #200 is Autumn Chill. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

My card today features the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Photopolymer Stamp Set (for the envelope). I was inspired by the different elements in the photo, the wood background, the sweater/blanket, the book and coffee cup for my Clean & Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 200.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 more panel of All About Autumn DSP to Pebbled path mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the woman reading a book image from In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Copper
Clay, Ivory, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path, Pecan Pie and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut artwork to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a thin strip of Very Vanilla I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set in Pebbled path Ink. I cut the 2 ends into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment below the artwork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pebbled Path mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments Autumn 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the envelope front In Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Copper Clay, Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn 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! Bird’s Eye View for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are getting ready for the weekend. It’s going to be a rainy day here, which might mean great day for card making if I don’t get myself involved with too many other things.

My card today just has an extra fold on it, not really a fun fold. This wasn’t what I was planning on making for my live on Wednesday. I wasn’t able to go live since I got myself so involved cutting my neighbors hedges that they haven’t trimmed back in years and were over growing in my yard. By the time I was done it was just about 4 and I was covered in twigs and leaves. I’ll be back next Wednesday at 4pm ET on my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today. If you want to see a super quick video of how I mad it, you can see it here on my Instagram page.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye Vies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Deckled Circles Dies (both available September 6) for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Distressed Gold mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Copper Clay card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Very Vanilla using the 8th from the largest Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bottom of the circle in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on top of the books. I stamped the eye glass image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bird in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the image using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I scored and folded the circle on the right side at 1/2″.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the folded edge of the circle, I adhered the artwork behind the card front. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using Copper Clay, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the All About Autumn DSP to the top of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the books, bird and eye glass images from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card using the Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Hello

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope there are some fun plans for you in the works. I’ll be working all day today, but I have off tomorrow. I picked up some plants yesterday and I’m hoping to get them in their flowerpots today after work. I bought a bunch of herbs, and my daughter wanted a jalapeño pepper plant and of course I had to buy some Gerber Daisies to put in some of my flowerpots around my patio. I put the herbs in flowerpots around all my tomato plants to help keep the critters away. My tomato plants have little tomatoes on them already. If we ever get rain here and then a nice hot day, these plants are going to take off.

Today I have a clean and simple card for you using just stamps, ink and paper. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye Vies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Basic Whtie Mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on top of the books. I stamped the glasses image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the bird image. I colored the images using Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on top of the panel. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White.

I stamped the glasses image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bird in Wild Wheat Ink. I colored the bird with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

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.
