Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty 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.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #206 is April Flowers. 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! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Bundle and the New Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (both items will be available starting May 1st), along with the Nested Essentials Dies and Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder for today’s card. I was inspired by the flowers in the photo and the colors of the flowers for my Clean and Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 206.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. Using Blending Brushes and the Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks, I added Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Inks. I cut the image out using the Layers of Beauty Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the floral image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the small flower centers.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Lover stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set over the sentiment in Bubble Bath Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base,

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the large floral image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front and 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.

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:

  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! Happy Hedgehogs Go To Greetings for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Less than 24 hours before I leave for out OnStage convention in Houston TX. To say I’m excited doesn’t even begin to describe what I’m feeling. I can’t wait to share what I can with you.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #205 is Spring Has Sprung. Believe it or not, my card only uses Stamps, Ink and Paper, no dies or punches. 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! Happy Hedgehogs Spring 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the entire photo and colors for my Clean & Layered card today. 

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 205.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Spring 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering squares of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Garden Green card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Bubble Bath card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Spring 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic white, I stamped the tree image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the branch. I colored the image using Balmy Blue, Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork panel to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Spring 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment form the Go To Greetings stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Bubble Bath mat using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Spring 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tree and bird images from the Happy Hedgehog stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the panel. I colored the images using Balmy Blue, Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Spring 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be at work all day Saturday and then we have out quarterly team meeting in person on Sunday. I love those meetings; we get to stamp together and chat for a bit and of course laugh.

Today’s card I was planning on doing on my live on Wednesday afternoon, but my contractor had other plans. After waiting 5 months for him to come replace doors in my craft studio and around the house, he thought Wednesday was the perfect day.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Meadow Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I then cut the leaf die from the Meadow Dies from the center of the Basic White panel. Using my Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker, I flicked specks on the die cut panel.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the left front of a Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the DSP card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the leaf stem using a Glue Dot. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the right front of the Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink 2 times on the bottom of the panel, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the side of the panel. I blended the flowers using a Blender Pen to spread the color a little. I flicked a little ink using my Starry Sky Stamp’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope front in Starry Sky Ink twice, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink over the script image. I blended the flowers using my Blender Pen. I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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! Encircled In Nature for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends and Happy Valentine’s Day. How is everyone doing today? Is anyone doing anything for Valentine’s Day? It’s Wednesday, so I’ll be working.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #204 is Winter Warmth. 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! Encircled In Nature 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Nature Bundle (available March 5th) along with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I was inspired by the pine trees in the photo along with the color scheme for my Clean & Layered card today. 

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 204.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the branch circle from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set on a Very Vanilla card front in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the center of the circle out using the Encircled In Nature Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Timber EF.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On another panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the rounded tree image and the tall tree image from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the moon and stars image from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink between the trees. I adhered the embossed card front to the stamped Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Mossy Meadow I cut the tree images using the Encircled In Nature Dies. From a panel of Crumb Cake, I cut the foliage image using the Encircled In Natures Dies. I adhered the die cut images to the bottom of the branch circle using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. I adhered the bow to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the tree images from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Encircled In Nature 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Encircled In Nature stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   T9JKA3XQ

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 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  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.

********************************************************************************************************

Last Day for my “Stuck on You Valentine” Ordering Special!

For all orders of $50 or greater (before shipping and taxes) that have my Current Host Code T9JKA3XQ applied or for individual orders of $150 or greater placed through me between now and Wednesday, February 14, you’ll get your choice of a free adhesive! You MUST remember to add my Host Code to your orders.

This can be anything that Stampin’ Up! sells that could be used as an adhesive!  And for the adhesives that are $5 or under, two packs will equal one choice (see the items with the (2) on the list below) so if you select those, you’ll get double, YAY!!

The adhesive will be in addition to the normal thank you gift that I order for you!!  Plus, since your order will be over $50, you’ll earn Sale-A-Bration item(s) too.  A big double YAY for more free goodies!!

***Please note, if your order is over $150, do not apply a host code.  If you apply a host code to your order, it will take away your host benefits and we don’t want that!  But don’t worry, you’ll still be eligible for the free gift and free adhesive offer!

Here is a list of the adhesives that you can pick from:

  • Adhesive Sheets
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive
  • Stampin’ Seal
  • Stampin’ Seal Refill
  • Stampin’ Seal +
  • Stampin’ Seal + Refill
  • Fine-Tip Glue Pen
  • Silicone Craft Sheet (even though it’s not an adhesive…it is an awesome tool for adhesives!)
  • Foam Adhesive Strips
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (2)
  • Black Stampin’ Dimensionals Combo Pack
  • Foam Adhesive Sheets
  • Cling Adhesive
  • Heat & Stick Powder

I’ll be placing the order for the adhesives with my host orders on February 16th, so please be sure to send your selections right away when you order…otherwise I’ll pick one for you and send it out with your thank you gift!

*With Stampin’ Up!’s new backorder policy where numbers are turned off for ordering if they go on backorder, if the adhesive that you pick is turned off for ordering when I place the order on the 16th, I’ll order Stampin’ Dimensionals for you instead.
