Stampin’ Up! Stay Warm in Pink

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the holiday weekend. Do you have any plans in the works? I’m going to a Red Bulls soccer gamer tonight with my son. I won tickets back in April and we are finally able to cash them in. I’m really looking forward to it, I’ve been wanting to go to a game. There’s something about watching professional games in person. The energy level is so much higher than watching them on TV. We’ve been a soccer family since my son was 5 when I signed him up for soccer because it was a ‘non-contact sport’. Little did I know then that it IS a contact sport, years later and many concussions and broken bones. I was the soccer mom and when they needed a goalie for field day, I was there. He’s now 30 and is a soccer coach and is still playing.

I have another little sneak peek for you today of products that will be available starting September 3rd. My colors came from a house that’s in our town; I live in a historical town with lots of old houses. I pass this one house that’s Flirty Flamingo, Pecan Pie and a touch of Misty Moonlight. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Stay Warm in Pink 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Stay Warm Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Fluffy Squirrel Photopolymer Stamp Set and Traditional Labels Dies (all available September 3rd).

Stampin' Up! Stay Warm in Pink 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Brights DSP to a Pecan Pie mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Stay Warm in Pink 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the detailed sweater image from the Stay Warm stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. Flip the stamp over on the block and stamp the solid sweater image from the Stay Warm stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed images. Fussy cut the sweater image using snips. On the same panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Just A Note stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Traditional Labels Dies.

Stampin' Up! Stay Warm in Pink 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Traditional Labels Dies, cut a panel of Basic White. Adhere the die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment to the top of the panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Labeled With Love Birthday

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already. Hope you are having a good week so far.

Last night was our Stamp Camp Card Class. On of the cards one of the ladies picked used the Brights DSP. I only had one of each color so everyone had a different color card. I had scrap pieces left over from their cards so I decided to make a card with them. 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! Labeled With Love Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Labeled With Love Bundle along with the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Labeled With Love Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

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 Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Does anyone have plans for tomorrow yet? We’ll be having our yearly Memorial Day picnic and we’ll be celebrating my daughter’s and Coraline’s birthdays. Today is both of their birthday’s we have just always celebrated Kara’s on Memorial Day.

I have a quick and easy card for you today. I used a red, I hardly ever use red since I always get all inky from it. 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! Marigold Moments Split Card

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be at the dog bakery today hopefully playing with the fur friends that stop in. It’s supposed to be a bit warmer here today, so maybe a lot will be out for walks and will stop in.

Today I played with one of my favorite flower bundles from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalos and dies from the Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Split Card 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Bundle and the Split Card Textures Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Split Card 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Split Card Textures Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to a Merry Merlot card baes using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the top of the panel, I stamped the sentient from the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Photopolymer Stap Set in Merry Merlot Ink.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Split Card 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the large solid flower image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mango Melody Ink. I stamped the large, detailed flower image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink over the solid image. I cut the images out using the Marigold Moments Dies.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Split Card 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut stem and flower image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Mango Melody Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Split Card 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentient from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the small solid flower image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mango Melody Ink on top of the stem and the small, detailed flower image in Merry Merlot Ink on top of the solid image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mango Melody mat then to the inside of the Merry Merlot card base.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Split Card 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set on the envelope front in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the small solid flower image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mango Melody Ink and the detailed flower image in Merry Merlot Ink. I adhered a panel of the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Butterflies for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks along with the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set and Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #387.

I started with a Basic White card front and using my Blending Brushes and the Butterflies & Flowers Masks I added Bermuda Bay Ink with the open butterfly mask on the top and bottom of the panel. I placed the detail butterfly mask over the inked image and added Pacific Point Ink. I embossed the panel using my Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered a panel of the Brights DSP to a Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from Lovey You stamp set in Pacific Point Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Label Me Fancy Punch. I threaded a length of White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon through the 2 ends and adhered it to the back of the card front using Tear & Tape.

I adhered the card front to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Coastal Cabana Playing with Patterns Resin Dots to the artwork and a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies to the punched sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Through It Together stamp set in Pacific Point Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Lovely You stamp set in Bermuda Bay Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered a strip of the Brights DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the inside of the Coastal Cabana card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Brights DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Driving By Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I worked yesterday and I’m planning on staying in today. It’s cold here in NJ. I don’t mind it a little cold, but not when it makes my bones cold lol.

I played with one of the Sale-a-bration sets for my card today. It’s a set that I looked at when I first got the brochure and said “what am I going to do with that”. After playing a little with it, I like it, I have many other ideas I just have to get on a card now. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Driving By Cling Stamp Set along with the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #675.

I started by adhering Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point panels of the Brights DSP to a Smoky Slate card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the car image from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Light Basic Black, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the balloons in using my Wink of Stella brush and my Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point stamp pads.

I stamped the sentiment from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above the card image. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nut About Squirrels Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink behind the card.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the car image from the Driving By stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Basic Black, Granny Apple Green and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the balloons the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Brights DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped just the balloons from the Driving By stamp set up the one side of the envelope and colored them the same as I did on the card.

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

Stampin’ Up! Joyful Life CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is your weekend going? Is anyone doing anything adventurous and fun?

I used another one of my favorite sets today for a CAS card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Life Cling Stamp Set along with the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #440.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #506.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered 2 strips of the Brights DSP in Poppy Parade and Pacific Point and 1 strip of the Garden Green Regals DSP to the card front on an angle. I adhered the card front to a Thick Basic White card base.

Using my Layering Circle Dies I cut the 3rd largest circle and the coordinating scallop circle from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the image from the Joyful Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the circle. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Poppy Parade and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker. On a scrap of the Pacific Point Brights DSP I stamped the same image from the Joyful Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and fussy cut the apron out using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the stamped image. I adhered the circle to the scalloped circle and then to the card front.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin Up! Sunny Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered 2 strips of the Garden Green Regals DSP to the corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Brights DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! Create With Friends CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I was at the Ace yesterday working and it was crazy busy. Everyone buying clean up supplies. It’s sad driving around my areas with all the debris and everyone’s belongings outside on the curb that has been destroyed. We’ve had a lot of loss in our town, between the house that exploded a block away from me and a building collapsed in our town, cars abandoned everywhere. It’s very sad. I’ll be in town today working at the dog bakery, that always brings a smile to me.

I have a CAS card for you today using some sets from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from the Inspire. Create Challenge #098.

My colors are from Just Add Ink Challenge #570.

I started by adhering a panel of the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Create With Friends stamp set in Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy Inks. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the butterfly image from the Positive Thoughts stamp set twice on a panel on Coastal Cabana card stock in Night of Navy Ink and cut the images out using my Nature’s Thoughts Dies. I adhered the butterflies to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Night of Navy rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Positive Thoughts stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the butterfly image from the Positive Thoughts stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Positive Thoughts stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Brights DSP to the envelope flap.

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