Stampin’ Up! Sweet Jar for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are starting to make plans for the weekend. I’m a little late today, I got involved cleaning and reorganizing my card studio and had to get everything back in place before I could even think about making a card.

I played with a new bundle coming in May with the other Online Exclusives, along with some DSP I believe will be retiring in April. 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! Sweet Jar Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sweet Jar Bundle (available May 6) along with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper and Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #356.

Cut the cookie jars out using the Sweet Jar Builder Punch. Cut the jar lids using the Sweet Jar Builder Punch from a panel of Silver Foil. Adhere the lids to the jars using a Glue Dot. Adhere one of the jars to the small card front using Glue Dots. Adhere the other jar, over the 1st jar, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment from the Sweet Jar stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. Add a couple Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments to the handles on the lids.

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to a long weekend.

I have a super quick card for you today that I did a bit of fussy cutting on. 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.

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

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! Unbounded Love Baby Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend. Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day, sunny and cool all day. I was out multiple times taking Cora for little walks. For the most part, I was in my craft studio designing cards for an upcoming vendor event. The event is next month and I’ll be holding classes at it. I’ll be doing a beginner class, an intermediate and an advanced. I had to get cards designed for each of the classes so I could send them pictures to advertise with.

Today’s card is one of the cards I designed for one of the classes next month. I’m trying to get a variety of cards. Since the event is at the end of the month, I needed to use products that I know will be available, and this DSP is one that will be carrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 1) along with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set, and Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of the Countryside Inn DSP using the 4th largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I adhered the DSP panel to the Basic White embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set and the Something Fancy stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the eggs using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Countryside Circle Sayings

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. It’s going to be a hot & humid one here today in NJ. Yesterday we had some severe thunderstorms with hail. The first one went through at 6:30am and I thought for sure I wasn’t going to be able to go for a walk. By 7:45/8:00 the sun was shining and it was sticky outside. It was nice the rest of the morning and early afternoon, then 4pm hit and the storm was right on top of us. The good thing was I didn’t have to water my tomatoes or other plants LOL.

Today’s card we made at our mystery stamping on Tuesday night at our Stamp Studio. My upline Jaimie gave us measurements and talked us through putting the card together. All of our cards were similar, but different at the same time. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Circle Sayings 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder, Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper and Scalloped Contours Dies for m y card today.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Circle Sayings 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Night of Navy using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to another panel of Night of Navy using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Circle Sayings 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I folded the panel of Basic White in half. Using the Scallo9ped Contours Dies, I put the die just above the folded edge and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the front of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Circle Sayings 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flower image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I stamped the sentiment from Circle Sayings stamp set in Night of Navy Ink below the flowers. I fussy cut the image using Paper Snips. I adhered a piece of Boho Blue 3/8″ Textured Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Circle Sayings 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the flowers from the Circle Sayings stamp set on the top of a Basic White panel in Boho Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a strip of the Countryside Inn DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card base to the Night of Navy embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Circle Sayings 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Circle Sayings stamp set in Boho blue Ink on the envelope front, some full strength and some stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn 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! Charming Sentiments 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 Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies and Sentiment Silhouettes Dies for my super simple baby card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 different panels of the Countryside Inn DSP using the 3rd & 4th Countryside Corners Dies.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the smaller die cut panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the larger one using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out with the coordinating die from Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the artwork panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small bow using the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the artwork using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Patchwork

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend and Memorial Day? It was a gorgeous weekend and Memorial Day here. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. Perfect day to be outside for a picnic and for the bike races, although it was a bit breezy.

Those that know me know that I like layers on my cards. I have a lot of trouble doing simple 1 layer cards. Today’s card is no different, there’s a lot of layers. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Photopolymer Stamp Set, Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Basics 3 D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom of a panel of Basic White. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Night of Navy mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut 9 of the smallest squares from panels of Countryside Inn DSP. I adhered the die cut squares to a panel of Basic White using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the patchwork panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to a Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered card front to a Boho Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small flower image from the Petal Park stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Petal Park stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is your weekend going? I hope you are finding time for yourself and doing some fun activities. It was super busy yesterday at the hardware store, selling grills, charcoal and paint. I’m hoping it’s busy at the dog bakery today, so the day flies by.

I was going through my stamp sets for today’s card and pulled an older one out that I like to play with. Here’s my card for today.

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! Tropical Leave Monochromatic Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends welcome to the new week. What did you do for Mother’s Day? Were you able to relax or craft a bit? Maybe spend some time outside gardening? I hope you had dinner made for you or were taken out. We went to the Extreme Experience for my husband to drive the racecar. He had a blast. He was able to get the car to 137mph. The whole thing was recorded from inside the car, so we watched it when we got home. He was able to keep up with the pace car the whole ride. It was a perfect gorgeous day here. I even got a little color from standing in the pit area.

I have a quick and easy card today that’s pretty clean and simple too. I’ve used some of the Online Exclusive products for it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Tropical Leaf Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Online Exclusive Designer Tags Dies and the new Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #585.

Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 4 strips of Countryside Inn DSP to a Night of Navy card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Tropical Leaf stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the Night of Navy card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Monochromatic 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Designer Tags Dies, I cut the sprig from a panel of Night of Navy and the butterfly from a panel of Boho Blue cardstock. I am so happy the Designer Tags Dies are part of the Online Exclusive Products. These dies were in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, and I thought for sure they were going to retire. I adhered the sprig and butterfly to the sentiment panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front and Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the butterfly.

Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Monochromatic 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Tropical Leaf stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I used the beautiful flower die from the Designer Tags Dies and cut the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Monochromatic 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Block Pop Up for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend yet? It’s my usual working all day Saturday.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. I saw this card made by Lisa Curcio and had to give it a try. 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! Petal Park Block Pop Up 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Bundle and Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Bundle. Both of these bundle prices will be retiring as of May 1st. I also used the new Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy Photopolymer Stamp Set and the new Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Block Pop Up 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding my card base to a Z-Fold card. I adhered the largest panel of Countryside Inn DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the inside back of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 1 3/4″ X 4 ” panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the coordinating Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Block Pop Up 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I scored & folded the 3 block panels of Misty Moonlight cardstock as listed below. I adhered the 3 panels of Countryside Inn DSP to the 3 coordinating Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the coordinating blocks as listed below using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. They were all adhered between the 2nd and 3rd score lines. I adhered the 1st block to the inside of the card base using Tear & Tape making sure the left edge was lined up with the 2nd score line of the card base and centered. I put Tear & Tape on the right side of the block panel and adhered it by folding on the 2nd score line and closing the card base. I did the same with block 2 & 3 making sure they were centered with each other and up against the fold line.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Block Pop Up 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

The above photo is how it should look.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Block Pop Up 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flowers from the Petal Park stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I punched the flowers out using the Petal Park Builder Punch. From the same panel, I cut out the sentiment mat using the Sending Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the Sending Dies. I cut the detailed sentiment out from a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock using the Sending Dies. I adhered the detailed sentiment to the mat. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue only on the left side. I adhered the Birthday Wishes sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue only on the left side, under the die cut sentiment. I adhered the larger flower by the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the smaller flowers under the larger one using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flower centers.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Block Pop Up 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, I stamped the sentiment form the Lasting Joy stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Countryside Inn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the back of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Block Pop Up 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Petal Park stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap.

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.
