Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Baby Girl Fun Fold

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off great. I’ll be having my Stamp Camp Card Class tonight. I’m looking forward to seeing the ladies and watching them make the cards I’ve designed. I have someone new coming tonight, but from what I was told, she’s a seasoned stamper. Now if I can just get the kits cut up before everyone gets here. I’m a little behind with getting certain things done this past week. I’m hoping to get myself caught up soon.

Today’s card is another one we made at our meeting on Sunday afternoon. This adorable card was designed by my awesome team member Tara Carpenter. Here’s the card for today.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamers Baby Girl Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamers Baby Girl Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding the large and small card base. I adhered the 2 panels of Bright & Beautiful DSP and the panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to Berry Burst mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered Bright & Beautiful panels to the large Bubble Bath card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered Hello Irresistible panel to the small Bubble Bath card base. I adhered the small card base to the large card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue by lining up the bottom of both card bases and centering the small one with the large one. I adhered the back of the small card base to the back of the large card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the lion image from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image with Berry Burst and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image and 3 clouds using the Little Dreamers Dies. I stamped the sentiment from Charming Sentiments stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the Basic Whtie panel. I cut the sentiment out using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the lion image, a small cloud and the sentiment to the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the other 2 clouds using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few of the Tinsel Germs Four Pack to the small card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small star image from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the corners of the panel and colored them using Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Berry Burst mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the lion image from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. i adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful 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.

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans for the weekend. I’ll be working all day today and last I saw we’re expecting rain all day today. We’ll see what happens, it’s NJ and they don’t always get the weather correct. Tomorrow I have my in-person quarterly meeting. I always look forward to these meetings and getting together with team members.

I have a quick birthday card for you today using one of my favorite sets from the new catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I cut the image out using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the top of the panel. I stamped the cupcake image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Berry Burst, Lemon Lolly and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already. I hope you are all having a good week.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have a new fun challenge this week.  The inspiration photo #196 is Patriotic Picnic. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by the stars and stripes in the photo along with the Colors and Flowers.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 196.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by inking up the Stripes Embossing Folder, from the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder, with Real Red Ink. I ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine on a Basic White card front. I did this twice to get the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the embossed panel to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers using Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink multiple times on the panel over the flower, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the panel.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the scalloped die from the Zany Zoo Dies, I cut a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. I adhered the scalloped strip behind the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Blueberry Bushel cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I colored the flowers with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the flowers, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered a strip of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the flowers. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful 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! It’s A Science Fun Fold

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? What kind of plans do you have for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night my daughter, niece, nephew and I will be attending the High School Tricky Tray. Even though my kids are no longer in school, we still like to support some of their events.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! It's A Science Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! It’s A Science Cling Stamp Set along with the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Wanted To Say Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! It's A Science Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to an Azure Afternoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the Bubble Bath card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the detailed sentiment from a panel of Azure Afternoon cardstock using the Wanted To Say Dies. I cut the sentiment mat from a panel of Basic White using the Wanted To Say Dies. I adhered the detailed sentiment to the mat. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Opaque Ovals to the card front.

Stampin' Up! It's A Science Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 panels of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base. I scored & folded the 3 -1 1/2″ x 6″ panels of Azure Afternoon cardstock. I used Tear & Tape on the 2 ends of each panel folding them flat to the inside panels. I adhered the 3 blocks lining up the center score lines with the score line of the card base. I adhered the 6 square panels of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the blocks using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! It's A Science Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped 3 of the beaker images from It’s A Science stamp set on the Basic White panels using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. I stamped the last beaker on the Basic White panel using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. I stamped the compound and atom images from It’s A Science stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on the Basic White panel. I cut the beaker, compound and atom images using the smallest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the images using Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bubble image from It’s A Science stamp set in coordinating colors on the beaker images. I adhered the 6 images to the blocks using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiments from It’s A Science stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on the DSP panels.

On the back, I stamped the sentiment from It’s A Science stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White.

I colored it with Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered 2 strips of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Azure Afternoon mat then to the back of the Bubble Bath card base.

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 Theme Challenge which worked out perfectly for me since I needed a graduation card. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is out theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 panels of Bright & Beautiful DSP to 2 Berry Burst mats. On 2 other panels of Berry Burst I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the sentiments with White Embossing Powder and set them using my Heat Tool. I stamped the streamer image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the longer sentiment panel.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 DSP layered panels and the rectangle sentiment panel to a Lemon Lolly mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the square sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to a Lemon Lime Twist card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Beautiful Balloons Dies, I cut the streamer from a panel of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. I adhered the streamer to the square sentiment as a tassel for a cap. I adhered an Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewel to the tassel. I tied a small bow using the 1/8″ Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and adhered it to the card front. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trios to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on a panel of Basic White. I used the Beautiful Balloons Dies to cut out the stars and confetti along each side of the sentiment. I stamped the streamer image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Lemon Lime Twist card base.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Graduation 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the streamer image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Ink along the bottom front of the envelope.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! It's A Science Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to an Azure Afternoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Berry Burst cardstock, I stamped the organic compound and atom images from It’s A Science stamp set in Berry Burst Ink randomly. I adhered the Berry Burst panel to an Azure Afternoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! It's A Science Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from It’s A Science stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on the top of the panel.

I colored the images in using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to an Azure Afternoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! It's A Science Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the microscope image from It’s A Science stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the microscope using Paper Snips. I adhered the microscope to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple Classic Matte Dots to the microscope and Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! It's A Science Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from It’s A Science stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the beaker image from It’s A Science stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the beakers using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the beaker image from It’s A Science stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the front of the envelope. I colored the images the same as I did on the card and stamped the bubbles in the coordinating inks above the beakers. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends it’s Cinco de Mayo!!! Welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone making plans for the weekend yet?

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy Photopolymer Stamp Set and Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my easel card today.

I played along with The Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge 638. I went right down the center with layers, die cuts and fun fold.

The design on the front of my card is from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge 413.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring & folding the Pool Party card base as listed below. I adhered the 1 1/4″ top of the card base together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to make a book fold card. The other fold will act as the easel. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a smaller panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a smaller Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the top of the card base (that I adhered together) using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Bubble Bath cardstock using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the strip of Bubble Bath cardstock to the strip of Pool Party cardstock using Glue Dots. I adhered the strips just under the layered square using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the basket image from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the yarn image from the Crafting With You in Lost Lagoon and Pool Party Inks. I cut the images out using the Crafting With You Dies. I adhered the basket to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered 1 of the yarn images behind the basket using Glue Dots and the other at the bottom of the basket using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the smallest die from the Countryside Corners Dies I cut the banner from the Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Lasting Joy stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the banner. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Glue Dot and Stampin’ Dimensional. I cut the scissor die from the Crafting With You Dies from a panel of Silver Foil paper and Lost Lagoon. I cut the handles off the Lost Lagoon scissors and adhered them to the Silver Foil scissors. I adhered the scissors together with a Glue Dot and added a silver Festive Pearl in the center. I adhered the scissors to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to the bottom of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the large and small flower images from the Crafting With You in the corners of the Basic Whtie panel. I inked up the stamp with Bubble Bath Ink, then used my Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Marker to color the leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Crafting With You stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I cut the sentiment out using the hoop die from the Crafting With You Dies. I cut another hoop using the Crafting With You Dies from a panel of Lost Lagoon cardstock. I adhered Stampin’ Dimensionals.to the back to hold the 2 parts together. I sniped off the top of the hoop using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the center using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the panel. This will act as the easel stop. I added a few Festive Pearls to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the yarn and flower images from the Crafting With You stamp set on the envelope front using Bubble Bath, Lost Lagoon and Pool Party Inks. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going as planned. I’m off today, but I’m not sure yet what I’ll be doing. I may tackle another one of my gardens if it’s nice enough out.

Today I played with another bundle that will be coming in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. This one I had a lot of fun playing with. There are images and dies for things I use every day to make my cards along with other crafting items. Here’s my card for today.

Using the Crafting With You Dies, I cut the paper trimmer and ruler from a panel of Gray Granite cardstock. I cut the scissors from a panel of Silver Foil and Basic Black cardstock. I snipped the scissor handles off the Basic Black die and adhered them to the Silver Foil die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I put the scissors together using a Glue Dot. I added a Festive Pearl in the center of the scissors. I fed a piece of Bright & Beautiful DSP through the trimmer. I adhered the cutting blade die to the trimmer using a Glue Dot.

Stampin’ Up! let us know that some of the items in the new catalog will have higher prices when the catalog is launched on May 2.  The prices for all items that are carrying over will continue to be the current catalog prices through May 1.  So now is a great time to stock up on any favorites before the price increases happen in early May!  We have not been told any specifics on the amount that the prices will increase but we have been given a list of items that will increase in price with the new catalog.

Due to increased costs to produce these items, beginning May 2 new prices will be in effect within the following product categories:

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs 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 Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Whtie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of the Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tree image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel so it looked like a branch. I stamped the bird image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the branch and the butterfly image to the left. I colored the images using Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the artwork to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tree and butterfly images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set on the panel. I colored the images using Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree, bird and butterfly images from the Happy Hedgehog stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images with Asure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the envelope flap.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   XMVFTAU4

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.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Shaker 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. I’ve been wanting to make a shaker card since I saw this new set, so I did for today. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Shaker 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used all new items for my card today that will be in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog starting May 2nd. I used the Stampin’ Up! Bright & Beautiful Suite along with 3 of the new Core Colors for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Shaker 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting 3 balloons from a panel of Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper using the new Beautiful Balloons Dies. I adhered a panel of Lemon Lolly cardstock to an Azure Afternoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of the Gold Celebrations Specialty Designer Series Paper to the back of the die cut panel using Stampin’ Seal +. Using Foam Adhesive Strips, I went around the edges of the layered panel and around each balloon. I sprinkled some of the For Everything Fancy Sequins on the Lemon Lolly panel where the balloons would be. I adhered the layered panel to the card front on top of the sequins.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Shaker 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using my Beautiful Ballons Dies, I cut a balloon and streamer from a panel of Lemon Lolly, 2 streamers from a panel of Azure Afternoon and a larger balloon and streamer from a panel of Bubble Bath. I adhered the streamers to the balloons on the die cut panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the small Lemon Lolly balloon to the card front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Shaker 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the larger Bubble Bath balloon using the sequins balloon image from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Photopolymer Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on the Bubble Bath balloon. I adhered the balloon to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the streamer to the balloon using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Shaker 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium balloon image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set on the panel in Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly Inks. I stamped the streamer image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the balloons. I adhered a strip of the Bright & Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Shaker 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the balloon and streamer images from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set on the envelope front in Azure Blue, Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly Inks. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.
