Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate 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 already.

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 #210 is Pumpkin Season. 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! Rustic Crate Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Rustic Crate Dies, Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin’ Up! Caring Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Deckled Circle Dies and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean & Layered card. I was inspired by the pumpkins in the photo along with the overall rustic feel of the photo, the colors and of course the gingham.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 210.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We have started our heat wave here in NJ. It’s in the 90’s all week and I think I saw that one day we’re supposed to hit triple digits. I had one outside graduation yesterday and I have another one tonight.

Today’s card we made last Tuesday night at our Stamping Studio for our mystery stamping. We all made the same design, but they all looked different since we used different DSP and stamp sets. It’s so much fun to make and a lot easier that is looks. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! poised Peony Cling Stamp Set along with the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set, Online Exclusive Deckled Circles Dies and Fun Patterns Embossing Folder, for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring a Pretty Peacock card base in the center. I adhered a panel of Basic White to the card base using Stampin’ Seal. I scored the Basic White panel in the center using my Paper Trimmer. I stamped the sentiment from the Poised Peony stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the top corner of the panel. I scored a panel of Petal Pink on the 2 sides and in the center. I folded the sides back and adhered a panel of Frames & Flowers DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I scored the DSP in the center using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the layered Petal Pink panel to the center of the Basic White panel lining up the score lines, using Tear & Tape on the ends.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Lost Lagoon using the 4th smallest die from the Deckled Circles Dies. I embossed the circle using the Fun Patterns EF. I scored the 1″ X 2″ panel in half at 1/2″. I cut the panel in half at 1″ so I had 2 1″ X 1″ scored at 1/2″. I folded them in half and adhered them to the back of the die cut circle and the layered Petal Pink panel using Tear & Tape. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the medium peony flower from the Poised Peony stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using Paper Snips. I adhered the flower to the die cut circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the 1/4″ Petal Pink Diagonal Trim and adhered it to the bottom of the flower using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the band, I scored both ends at 1/2″. I adhered a panel of Frames & Flowers DSP to the band using Stampin’ Seal. Using my Bone Folder I gave it a little curl on the back of the layered panel. I adhered the band to the bottom of the card base using Tear & Tape on the ends. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back I stamped the large peony flower on a panel of Basic White in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the back of the Pretty Peacock card base. On another panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the smallest flower from the Poised Peony stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the back of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium envelope. I stamped the medium peony flower from the Poised Peony stamp set on the envelope front in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Frames & Flowers 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! Seaside Wishes 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 #208 is Hello Summer. 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! Seaside Wishes 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Sea turtle Photopolymer Stamp Set, Bright & Beautiful 6X 6 Designer Series Paper, So Swirly Embossing Folder and Deckled Circles Dies for my Clean & Layered Card today. The starfish caught my eye as soon as I saw the inspiration photo, so that is what inspired me, and I worked around that.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 208.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink multiple times, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP. I embossed the DSP panel using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Deckled Circle Dies, I cut a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sand image from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Beige Ink on the bottom of the circle. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the large and small starfish images in Basic Beige Ink. I cut the images out using the Seaside Wishes Dies. I adhered a piece of Linen Thread to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the circle over the thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the larger starfish to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the smaller ones using Glue Dots. On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends and Glue Dots in the center. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the starfish and sand images from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Basic Beige Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set on a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP, stamping off once on scrap paper, in Azure Afternoon Ink. I adhered the panel to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin’ Up! Beach Day for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

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 Tara’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. 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! Beach Day Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Under the Moon Photopolymer Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies and So Swirly Embossing Folder for my book fold card today.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the binder end of the card base together on the inside using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, using my Blending Brushes, I added Azure Afternoon Ink to the top of the panel and Coastal Cabana Ink to the bottom section. I stamped the water image from the Under the Moon stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink over the brushed area. I stamped the dolphin images from the Under the Moon stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I stamped the cloud image from Under the Moon stamp set over the brushed Azure Afternoon portion in VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the sand image from the Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Beige Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I tore the top of the panel and adhered it below the water image on the Basic Whtie panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the umbrella, chair and ball images from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I colored the images using Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Highland Heather, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Poppy Parade and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sandcastle image from the Beach Day stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I cut the images out using the Beach Day Dies. I cut the palms and grass from a panel of Granny Apple Green and the tree trunk from a panel of Crumb Cake using the Beach Day Dies.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the center of a Lost Lagoon card front using the Deckled Circles Dies. I cut a panel of Basic Beige using the Deckled Circles Dies. I embossed the 2 Lost Lagoon card front panels using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the Basic Beige circle to the back of the Lost Lagoon card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Lost Lagoon card front to the Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the embossed side panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered all the die cut pieces to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the panel of Basic White and fussy cut it using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sand image from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Beige Ink along the bottom of the panel. I stamped the umbrella and chair images from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat the n to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand image from the Beach Day stamp set along the bottom front of the envelope in Basic Beige Ink. I stamped the sandcastle in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the umbrella, chair and beachball images from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom envelope front. I colored the images the same as I did for the card. I embossed a panel of Lost Lagoon using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the embossed panel 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! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky Cling Stamp Set along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper and Deckled Circles Dies for my card today. I let the DSP do most of the work for me today.

These are our colors for this week

My design is from Sunday Stamps Front & Center Challenge #334

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Copper Clay into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the banner to a panel of Night of Navy using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the Night of Navy panel on an angle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the smallest plane image from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 2 times, then stamping over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd from the smallest Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium plane from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, then over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Take to the Sky DSP on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Father's Day 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium plane image from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans n the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m guessing it’s going to be another slow day because of the weather. We had something different here in NJ happen yesterday. About 10 miles from my house, we had a 4.8 earthquake. It scared the living daylights out of me. There was a loud boom and my whole house shook. I didn’t know what was happening. I live in NJ to avoid those kinds of things. We didn’t have any damage. Later on around dinner time we had a 4.0 aftershock. Once again, my whole house shook. That’s enough now for a lifetime. I have to admit, that scared me almost as much as 911.

I have a sneak peek for you today using some new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog along with some retiring product. We made this card at our Stamp Camp card class last week. 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! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Bundle (available May 1st) along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Deckled Circles Dies and retiring Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP using the Timber 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Copper Clay mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a NEW Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink. I cut the image out using the Loveliest Tree Dies. From a panel of Copper Clay, I cut the circle using the Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the die cut tree to the Deckled Circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Circles Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Hope You Know stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Basic Beige Ink over the tree. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $63.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share and Ribbon share from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 1st. 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 May 13th.

How my 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 with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack 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!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

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

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. How is everyone’s week going? It’s been nothing but rain for the last 24 hours. Heavy rain and windy. We were in a State of Emergency starting yesterday because of flooding. I was up half the night listening to the rain, wind and my sump pump gong off every 2 minutes. The good thing is, it’s going off and keeping the water away from my house the best it can. I believe the flood warnings are in effect until 6pm tonight.

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 #203 is New Year Love. 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! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Photopolymer Stamp Set, Tree Rings Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Circles Dies, Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 203.  How are you inspired by the photos?

I joined in with Global Design Projects #427.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Pecan Pie using the Tree Rings EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Garden Green mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 panels of Bee Mine DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Sweet Sorbet card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the adorable beaver image from the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the wood pile image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the same panel. I colored the images in using Ivory, Neutrals #300 & #800, Pecan Pie, Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. Using the Deckled Circles Dies, I cut a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. I adhered the circle to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the beaver and wood pile to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I adhered a piece of Sweet Sorbet Bakers Twine from the 2022-2024 In-Color Bakers Twine Pack to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the Bakers Twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive Backed Hearts & Flowers embellishment to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I stamped the beaver image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the top of the wood pile image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink below the beaver. I colored the images the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Sweet Sorbet card base,

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Valentine 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the beaver image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as the card front. I adhered a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the envelope flap.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Bundle along with the Online Exclusive Tartan Foil Specialty Paper, Deckled Circles Dies and Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Friendship 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 panels of Tartan Foil paper to a Berry Burst mat using Liquid Glue. From 2 panels of Delightful Floral DSP, I cut the leaf and floral images using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I cut the 7th largest circle from the Deckled Circles Dies using a panel of Vellum Paper.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Friendship 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Cling Stap Set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I tied a bow using the Sweet Sorbet 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the stems using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Friendship 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the floral image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Berry burst Ink on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of the Tartan Foil Paper to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Berry Burst mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Friendship 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel or Tartan Foil paper to the envelope flap.

It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. 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 15th.

How my 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 with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack 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!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

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

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6
  • Poetic Expressions – 6
  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons or Baker’s Twine.

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker

Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend and Happy New Year’s Eves Eve. Hard to believe that another year has come to an end. Is anyone starting to make plans? We’ll be staying in as usual. My husband was supposed to have some friends over, but my daughter has covid so no visitors here. I’ll be working all day today and I have to go in tomorrow morning to close out for the month and year.

Since I missed yesterday’s fun fold Friday, I thought I would make kind of a fun fold. I actually lost track of the days this week and thought Wednesday was Tuesday and forgot to do my live. The holidays tend to do that to me sometimes, especially when it falls on a Monday. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card today, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set (available January4), along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies, Best Label Punch and the Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today. This DSP will be available free with a qualifying order of $50 or more starting January 4th.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Misty Moonlight using the 2nd largest die from the Deckled Circles Dies. I scored the circle in half and folded it to make the card base. I cut a panel of Flight & Airy DSP using the 3rd largest Deckled Circles Dies and cut the circle in half using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the cut panels of the DSP to the front and back of the Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered another panel of Flight & Airy DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the top of the card base using Liquid Glue, making sure to put the panel low enough so it would fit in the envelope. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the bird in using my Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils. I fussy cut the bird using Paper Snips. I adhered the bird to the top section of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small piece of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Best Label Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Tinsel Gems Three Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the cross-hash image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image with my Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card, and this set and DSP are on your wish list for the upcoming catalog starting in January.  Happy Stamping!!

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.

How my 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 with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack 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!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.
