Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Fun Fold Baby Card

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I had off yesterday and did a little unexpected cleaning. Every once in a while, (more often than I want to admit), I will go to clean 1 small thing/area and it turns into a huge project of cleaning and rearranging. Yesterday was one of those days. I wanted to just clean up 1 little thing and it ended up washing windows, changing curtains and ripping out a carpet.

Today a have a baby card for you that is also a fun fold. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls Fun Fold Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! January-February Sale-a-bration Adorable Owls Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring my Basic White Thick card base at 2 1/2″, 3 3/4″, 6 3/4″ & 8″ as stated below in the card cuts. The 2 1/2″ & 6 3/4″ score lines are mountain folds and the 3 3/4″ & 8″ score lines are valley folds.

I adhered a panel of Country Floral Lane DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal only on the left side. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flying owl image from the Adorable Owls stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Mint Macaron & Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest Layering Circles Dies. From a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock, I cut the coordinating scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the larger thick banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Fun Flower Resin Shapes to the card front.

On the center panel, I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock to the Basic Whtie Thick card base using Stampin’ Seal only on the left side. I adhered a panel of Country Floral Lane DSP to the right side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Adorable Owls stamp set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the larger thick banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the panel using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Baby Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Hope you have some fun plans and are staying warm. I’ll be at work all day today. I didn’t get much de-Christmasing done yesterday, after Coraline’s training I think I was more tired than her LOL. We were practicing on and off all day with things I learned. I asked the trainer who was being trained, Coraline or me, she laughed and said me.

I have some babies coming this year and one that has already been born, so I thought I should get to work with making baby cards. I don’t have a baby set, so I used one of the Sale-a-brations sets. This set is available for free with a qualifying order of $50 during Sale-a-bration. My card used just Stamps, Ink and Paper today. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Sale-a-bration Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Dandy Designs Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from my upline, Jaimie, that is giving us sketch challenges each week.

Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls Baby 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Dandy Designs DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls Baby 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the owl image from the Adorable Owls stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls Baby 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Night of Navy cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls Baby 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I adhered a strip of Dandy Designs DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls Baby 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the owl image from the Adorable Owls stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored the image the same as I did for the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Adorable Owls stamp set in Night of Navy Ink above the owl. I adhered a panel of Dandy Designs DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I’m a little late today, but better late than never. We are 2 days away from Christmas, are you all ready. I have a couple dinner/dessert preps to take care of later today. If I haven’t bought it yet, it’s not getting bought. Between my husband and daughter, they are taking card of most of the wrapping. I’m having a lot of trouble with my shoulder again and I can’t lift my arm at all. 3rd time the rotator cuff has torn, and they don’t know if they can fix it yet. Luckily that doesn’t affect my card making LOL. Making cards I only really move the bottom of my arm and don’t really have to do much lifting and if I do that’s what my left arm is for.

I have a super simple fun fold today using products from the Annual Catalog and a set coming in the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Decorative Borders Photopolymer Stamp Set (available Jan 5, 2023) and the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Design A Daydream Host Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the front panel of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 3rd largest Scallop Contours Dies. I stamped the flower image from the Decorative Borders stamp set along the bottom of the die cut panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the Happy from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink over the Happy. I colored the flower image using my Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut panel to the left side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only of the left side of the panel. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems (available Jan 5, 2023) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the right side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Decorative Borders stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink on an angle. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron & So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the border flower image from the Decorative Borders stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as for the card. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

January – April 2023 Mini Catalog Designer Series Paper Share

If you are a customer of mine, you should have received your catalogs. If you are not a customer yet and would like to be, please send me an email with your name and address stating that you would like a copy of the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 5 and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 9.

How shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs! Designer Series Paper Shares Do Not earn my Creative Stamping Designs Rewards.

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog:

New Designer Series Paper Share – $27.00 plus $8.00 for Priority Mail shipping

Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Birthday

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in store. I’ll be at work all day today and not sure what I’ll be doing after work yet.

Today’s card someone asked me to make. There’s a little story behind it. She’s giving it to a friend that has 3 cats, Ivy, Maple and Willow. That will explain the designs on the images. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Willow Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Metallic & Shimmer Specialty Paper to a Basic White mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Cajun Craze card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the maple leaf image form the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Real Red Ink. I stamped the willow leaf image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. Using the Full Basket Dies, I cut the maple leaf and willow leaves using the cat die. Using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder & Dies, I cut 2 panels of Garden Green cardstock. I adhered the ivy leaves to a panel of Garden Green cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the Garden Green panel using the cat die from the Full Basket Dies. Using the Sentiments Silhouettes Dies, I cut out 4 details candles from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut 4 solid candles from scraps of Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red cardstock using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I cut 4 flames from a scrap of Daffodil Delight cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the solid candles to the back of the detailed candles and the flames to the top of the candles using small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the candles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the cats to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the willow leaf image from the Willow Tree stamp set on the top of the panel in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the maple leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Real Red Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Metallic & Shimmer Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are having a great weekend. I will only be working a half day today, so I’ll have the afternoon to do something. A couple of my cashiers needed off so I’m splitting the day with another cashier that worked with me yesterday.

Today’s card is very similar to one that I made on Thursday except I changed the direction, DSP and embellishments. I also used my least favorite color, but for some reason I really like it for fall cards. I never make 2 cards identical, but I will make them similar by changing direction and some of the components a bit. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Soft Suede mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Crushed Curry card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tree trunk image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the solid treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink over the branches. I stamped the detailed treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink over the Crushed Curry image. I cut the image our using the largest die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out with the smaller die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. Using the same die, I cut a panel of Soft Suede cardstock. I cut the Soft Suede die cut in half and adhered it to the back of the sentiment making a small mat. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dot. I tied a knot with a piece of the Natural Finish 7/8″ Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock.

I stamped the solid treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink over the branches. I stamped the detailed treetop image in Pumpkin Pie Ink over the Crushed Curry image. I stamped the splotch image in Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie Inks below the tree. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Suede mat, then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week has started out good.

I have a quick and easy card for you today using a bundle from the Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Lasting Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Lovely In Linen Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Night of Navy cardstock using the Delicate Edge Dies. I adhered the die cut edge to the back of a panel of Lovely in Linen DSP. I adhered another strip of Night of Navy cardstock to the opposite side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pale Papaya card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the frame image from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Night of Navy Ink inside the frame. I punched the sentiment out using my Lasting Lable Punch.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the punched sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the scroll image from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink above the sentiment. I stamped the small flower image from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the top corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the inside of the Pale Papaya card base.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Lasting Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the scroll image from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the small flower image from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink also on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Lovely in Linen DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set and the Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper.

I started by scoring and folding the Fresh Freesia card base as listed below. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Night of Navy mat. I adhered the layered panels to the Fresh Freesia card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the coordinating die from the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

I adhered 2 more panels of the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inside of the card base. I scored & folded 3 strips of Night of Navy cardstock. I adhered the 6 square panels of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inner 2 sections of the strips using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the strips to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the 2 outside sections of the Night of Navy strips lining the center fold up with the fold line of the card base. I fussy cut multiple butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP using my Paper Snips. I adhered the butterflies to the inside of the card base using Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the top of a Basic White Panel. I stamped the tall floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the floral image. I adhered 2 of the fussy cut butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts CAS Blended

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. Is anyone planning anything special for Father’s Day?

Today’s card is another one that we made on Sunday at our in-person team meeting. This card was designed by one of my team member Tara who lives in Missouri. I fell in love with this design the second I saw it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle for my card today.

I started by putting 2 strips of Post-It Tape on a panel of Shimmery White cardstock leaving about 1 3/4″ opening between them. Starting with Pale Papaya Ink, using my Blending Brush, I added color to the top section of the panel. I then added Soft Succulent Ink using my Blending Brush in the center section. Last I used Orchid Oasis Ink on the bottom section with my Blending Brush.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Shimmer White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the leaf die using my Splendid Stems Dies from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock. I adhered the leaf die to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen bakers’ twine, from the Fan Bakers Twine pack (retiring June 30), around the layered panel 3 times and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Shimmery White panel. I stamped the large leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Shimmery White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked this card as much as I did. The products used will be available starting July 1 from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Splendid Thoughts Sneak Peek

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going?

Today’s card is one that we will be making at our in person quarterly team meeting today. I’ll be presenting this one to the rest of my team members via zoom. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle along with the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the top of a panel of Splendid Day DSP. I adhered the panel of DSP to a Pear Pizzazz mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Splendid Stems Dies, I cut the leaf dies from the panels of Evening Evergreen, Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I cut the half circle die from the strip of Splendid Day DSP.

I adhered the leaf dies to the back of the half circle die using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the collage to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon and adhered it to the garden dish using a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf images from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Pear Pizzazz Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat and then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped 2 of the leaf images from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set on the envelope front in Evening Evergreen and Pear Pizzazz once full strength and once stamped off. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. This bundle will be available for purchase July 1st from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. If you are interested in joining and getting this set early, contact me. I’d be happy to talk to you. Happy Stamping!!

July – December 2022 Mini Catalog Designer Series Paper Share

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog, and I’d love to have you join in on it!!  I’m placing my share order on July 1 and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of July 11.

How shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog:

New Designer Series Paper Share – $29.00 plus $5.50 for First Class Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP and specialty paper packs (the number behind the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Black & White – 6
  • Boughs Of Holly – 6
  • Festive Foils Specialty – 3 (one of each color)
  • Gingham Cottage – 12
  • Lights Aglow Specialty 6″ x 6″ – 12
  • Painted Christmas – 6
  • Rustic Harvest – 6
  • Santa Expressions – 6
  • Splendid Day Specialty – 6

In all, you’ll receive 90 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $58.00 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 so that you’ll be able to get 3 A2 size card fronts from each sheet (except for the Lights Aglow, Metallic & Shimmer and Real Red & White Glimmer Paper, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).

FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining my share, you’ll also get a sampler of the Rings Of Love and Silver & Gold Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Packs and a sampler of the Celebrate Everything host exclusive paper!

Anyone is welcome to join in my share (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  If you’d like to join email the following information to creativestampingdesigns
