Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Karen’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Summer”. We can interpret this however we want. I have a sneak peek for you of a set that’s coming to the Online Exclusives on July 6th. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm Cling Stamp Set (available July 6th), along with the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from the Paper Players Challenge #644.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic Whtie using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Charm stamp set on either side of the flower in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink next to the flower, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf image on the envelope flap in Lost Lagoon Ink some full strength and some stamped off once on scrap paper.

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

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! Mischievous Mice Thanks

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a rainy one here Saturday but turned out to be pretty nice on Sunday. Yesterday after our team meeting, I finally got some of my Paper Pumpkin kits finished. I’m determined to get myself caught up with all the kits I have and then maybe I can get them done as they come in each month. I was able to finish 3 kits, which was 27 cards. I have one kit sitting on my table all taken apart to finish after work today.

Today’s card uses the basics, Stamps, Ink and Paper. I thought I’d do something simple for a change, lol. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice Cling Host Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Inspire. Create. Challenge #116.

I started by stamping the mouse image from the Mischievous Mice stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, Gray Granite, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the splatter image from the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set in So Saffron Ink on the 2 corners of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the mouse image on the card front. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Color & Contour stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the mouse image and the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Color and Contour Pastels

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and halfway through the month already. Days are just flying by.

Today I have another card that we made at our Inkin’ Krew team meeting on Sunday. This card used the daisy type flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Bundle. Here’s my card for today.

This card was designed by another one of my talented team members Tara Beth. Another gorgeous design. For this one we got to play with the new Soft Pastels Assortment on page 126 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

I started by cutting a panel of the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper using the largest die from the Scalloped Contour Dies and adhering it to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Saffron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of So Saffron cardstock using the 3rd largest die from the Scalloped Contour Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of the die. I adhered the scalloped die to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set 4 times in Basic Gray Ink. I cut the images out using the Scalloped Contour Dies. I colored each of the flowers using a different color from the Soft Pastels Assortment and I blended them using my Blending Brushes. I adhered 2 of the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and 1 using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few gems Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials.

On the inside I cut a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP and Night of Navy cardstock using the scallop edge die from the Scalloped Contour Dies. I adhered the 2 together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the scalloped edge to a panel of Basic White cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered the 4th flower to the top of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the So Saffron card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set 3 times on the envelope front in Basic Gray Ink. I adhered a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card we made at our team meeting. It was fun playing with the Soft Pastels Assortment, it was a different way to color images. Stampin’ Up! has so many options for coloring, pick your favorite and get started. Happy Stamping!!

Changes To The Upcoming July-December Mini Catalog And Second Sale-a-bration


Stampin’ Up! has shared the following update with us related to the upcoming July-December Mini Catalog and second Sale-a-bration this year.  With the global shipping delays, they will be moving the start dates for those two publications back by one month.  Here are the details from Stampin’ Up!:

We’ve recently been made aware that, due to the current global shipping crisis tied to the COVID pandemic, we are not likely to receive the majority of product inventory for the upcoming July–December 2021 Mini Catalog or July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration in time for the catalog launches. After careful consideration we have decided to push the launches of both publications back by one month to allow time for inventory to be received.
 
Change Details

  • The July–December 2021 Mini Catalog will in effect become the August–December 2021 Mini Catalog (though the title of the publication will not change).
    • Demonstrator Preorder: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
    • Customer Sales Period: August 3, 2021– January 3, 2022
  • July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration will in effect become August–September 2021 Sale-A-Bration.
    • Demonstrator Pre-earn: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
    • Customer Earning Period: August 3, 2021 – September 30, 2021

I’m so happy that Stampin’ Up! made the decision to move the catalog timing back by a month in order to minimize those frustrating backorders and unavailable items!  Let me know if you have questions about this.  Can’t wait to see the upcoming Mini and Sale-a-bration Catalogs this summer!  And as always, I’ll get those catalogs mailed out to you just as quickly as I can once I get them in early July!

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is header_diversity-inclusion_utc_naspuk.jpg

The first Stampin’ Up! value statement is this: we care about people first. What does that look like? Caring about people first means treating others with kindness, respect, and equal consideration. It means working together towards a common goal, helping each other through life’s challenges, and celebrating one another’s accomplishments. It means including others, even when we disagree, have contrasting life experiences, or simply see things differently. Caring about people first is our greatest strength!

In honor of this value—and in the spirit of World Diversity Day—we’d like to celebrate what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity! The United Through Creativity Digital Download features inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual sentiments and illustrations that represent the multiple markets Stampin’ Up! engages with. And, it’s FREE for all!

Stampin’ Up! Color and Contour Blending

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope you are all having a productive one.

Today’s card is one that we made at our Inkin’ Krew Team Meeting on Sunday. We made 3 cards all using the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Bundle. Here’s the first card we made.

This card was designed and demonstrated by Linda, one of my team members. Isn’t it gorgeous.

We started by adhering a panel of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper to a Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock we used our Blending Brushes and added Highland Heather Ink on the top, Blushing Bride Ink in the middle and Mint Macaron Ink on the bottom. We stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on top of the blended colors and immediately sprinkled it with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the image out using the middle scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours Dies. I cut another one of the same scalloped rectangles out of a panel of Highland Heather cardstock. I adhered the artwork to the top of the Highland Heather rectangle using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a Highland Heather mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel just under the artwork on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the card front. I tied a double bow using the White Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the stem of the flower with a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Color & Contour stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Highland Heather Ink, stamped off once, on either side of the sentiment . I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Hand-Penned DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card that Linda designed and will give it a try. If you are interested in joining us at our next team meeting, I’d love to have you on my team. We have an awesome team and it’s a great group of people.

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Freesia Color and Contour

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Hope you are all making the best of it and having some fun.

Today’s card uses some of the 2021-2023 In-Colors. I’m really loving these new colors this year. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Bundle for my card along with the beautiful 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum Paper.

I played along with Festive Friday Challenge #084. I have Green, Die Cuts & Flowers.

I started by stamping the outline flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower fill image in Fresh Freesia Ink over the outline image. I cut the flower out using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I cut the middle scallop frame from Scalloped Contours Dies from the Basic White panel. Using my Blending Brushes, I added some Soft Succulent Ink on the scalloped frame. I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the frame. I adhered the flower to the frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I embossed a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum Paper using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. I adhered the Vellum panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just behind where I was putting the frame. I adhered the matted card front to a Fresh Freesia card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a length of Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the artwork over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love What You Do Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink to the side of the sentiment. I stamped the flower fill color in Fresh Freesia Ink over the outline image. I adhered a strip of the 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum Paper to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal only on the sides. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the outline flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower fill image in Fresh Freesia Ink. I adhered a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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! Color and Contour Triple Time

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? With warmer weather coming hopefully everyone will start to be doing some fun things on the weekends.

I have a triple time card for you today using another new set and the new In-Colors from the new 2021-2020 Annual Catalog. I’ve been using the dies a lot that go with this bundle, now I thought I’d use the stamp set. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set for my triple time stamp card. I used 4 of the 5 new 2021-2023 In-Colors for my stamping today.

I started by adhering the 3 Basic White panels together with the tiniest amount of Stampin’ Seal so that i could easily take them apart after stamping on them.

I first stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the smallest panel. I stamped the outline flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Inks randomly around the panels. I then stamped the outline leaf image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flowers. I took the panels apart and adhered the smallest and middle panels to Soft Succulent mats using Stampin’ Seal. I then adhered the matted panels together, making sure to match up the stamped images, using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon around the stamped and matted panels and tied a small bow. I adhered the layers to a Soft Succulent card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the outlined flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set on the panel in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Inks and the leaf image in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I randomly stamped the outlined flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flower images.

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