Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Birthday

Posted on by
4

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. Happy July!! Sorry I didn’t have a post yesterday, I was out the door very early to get to work so I could get all the statements done and mailed. There seemed to be more this month. It was another beautiful day here after a bad storm we had on Sunday. There was flooding all over in my town. It looked like a muddy pool between my backyard and my neighbors. I was watching to make sure the water didn’t come too close to the house. It came down so hard and so fast that the major highway up the road from me was flooded. Everything is good though; all the water is down and where it’s supposed to be.

I used a new Online Exclusive Bundle for today’s card that will be available to purchase starting tomorrow, YAY!!! And it’s a masculine card, which I always struggle with. 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! Frosted Forest Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Frosted Forest Bundle along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of County Woods DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Beige using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Die. I embossed the die cut panel using the Timber 3D EF.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the tall tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. Using the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks, I added Pecan Pie Ink to the tree trunk using the Small Blending Brush. I used Granny Apple Green Ink for the other 2 Frosted Forest Masks for the treetop using the Small Blending Brush. I cut the tree out using the Frosted Forest Dies. On the same panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the bird image from the Frosted Forest stamp set 2 times in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the birds using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the birds out using the Frosted Forest Dies. I adhered the tree to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the panel 2 times and tied a bow. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the birds to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (available July 3rd) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the bird image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink by the sentiment and colored them using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall tree image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card using the Frosted Forest Masks. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Greatest Adventure Masculine Card

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend and the middle of June. Can you believe we’re halfway through June already? I hope you have some plans in the works for the weekend. I’ll be at work all day today and I’m not sure what we will be doing tomorrow for Father’s Day. My husband said he wanted to make pizza, so that means I won’t have to cook, YAY!!!

I have a sneak peek for you today of a new Online Exclusive set that will be available to you starting in July. Now if you want to get your hands on these new Online Exclusives early, I’d be more than happy to talk to you about that. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Greatest Adventure Cling Stamp Set that will be available starting in July, along with the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper, Deckled Rectangle Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the train image from the Greatest Adventure stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the 4th largest Deckled Rectangle Die. I stamped the sentiment from the Greatest Adventure stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink along the top of the die cut image.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Trucking Along stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the train image from the Greatest Adventure stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky DSP to the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pebbled Path mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the train image from the Greatest Adventure stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Take to the Sky 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! Inked & Tiled for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
16

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and 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 Sketch Challenge.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the soon to retire Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set and Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Lost Lagoon and Inked Botanicals DSP using the 4th largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 die cut panels together using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I fussy cut the leaf using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment form the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends. I adhered the fussy cut leaf to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I inked up the tall flower stamp using Crushed Curry and Lost Lagon Stampin’ Write Markers. I huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamped the flower on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the envelope front inking it up the same as I did for the inside of the card. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink over the flower image stem. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

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! Perennial Postage Stenciled

Posted on by

Good Monday morning stamping friends and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Welcome to a new week, a new month and a New Year. Did everyone have a nice new year’s? What did you all do? We made a bunch of appetizers, watched a movie and just relaxed. My daughter is still recovering from covid, so it was a very quiet night. I spent a little time in my craft studio and thinking about some changes or resolutions I’d like to accomplish this year. Every year on New Year’s Day I clean, reorganize and rearrange my craft space. I’m not sure that is going to get done this year since I just moved into this space a few months ago.

I played with the new stencil from the upcoming catalog for today’s card. This time I used it without stamping first. 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! Perennial Postage Stencil 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! enduring Beauty Decorative Masks. Enduring Beauty Dies, (all available Jan 4) Deckled Rectangle Dies and Online Exclusive One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I cut another panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I started with #1 stencil form the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, using the Blending Brush, I added Poppy Parade Ink. Next, I used Lemon Lime Twist with the Blending Brush and Stencil #2. Stencil #3 I used the Blending Brush with Poppy Parade Ink again and Stencil #4 I used Lemon Lime Twist Ink with the Blending Brush again. Lastly, I used Stencil #5 with Pecan Pie Ink and the Blending Brush. I cut the image out using the Enduring Beauty Dies. I adhered the floral image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Enduring Beauty Dies. I adhered 1/8″ Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Pack, to the back of the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems (available Jan 4) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I adhered 2 thin strips of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to either side of the panel I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Stencil 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Tomorrow is the last day to Join my January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? 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 Name, Item # 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.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • 1/4″ Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon
  • 3/8″ Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon
  • Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack
  • 1/8″ Gold Faux Leather Trim

Double Ribbon Share – $20 + $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon and baker’s twine.

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. This is the final countdown to Christmas. Have you gotten your shopping done, decorated and baking done? My decorating is done. I’ve gotten most of my baking done, I just have a little bit to finish up today. I haven’t gotten my cards out yet or gone shopping. I’m hoping to get some shopping done this weekend. I’m planning on writing out my cards this morning and get any finishing touches done on my cookies after that. I’m hoping to do a little bit of shopping when my daughter gets home from work with my car and maybe do some tomorrow. I made sure I had the whole weekend off to get all my baking done, and I got a lot more than I expected done yesterday. 

I have a quick card for you today using some Online Exclusive products. If you’d like to see how I made this card, Click Here to see my Instagram Reel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Softly Said Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Delightful Floral DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Softly Said stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Softly Said Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered sentiment panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered 3 small knots to the card front with Glue Dots, that I made using the Pretty Peacock 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (available January 4th).

Stampin' Up! Softly Said Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the bottom of the panel, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the panel, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Berry Burst card base.

Stampin' Up! Softly Said Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the envelope front, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaves by the flower in Pretty Peacock Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a panel of Delightful Florals DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? 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 Name, Item # 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.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • 1/4″ Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon
  • 3/8″ Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon
  • Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack
  • 1/8″ Gold Faux Leather Trim

Double Ribbon Share – $20 + $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon and baker’s twine.

$25 for a single share + $8.50 shipping

$50 for a double share + $8.50 shipping.

Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Autumn

Posted on by
10

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Was anyone able to enjoy some beautiful fall weather? Yesterday was a beautiful day here in NJ, but very windy. I went out for multiple walks throughout the day. It seemed like every time I had time to go work on cards, Coraline needed to go out and wanted a walk.

I have a quick card for you today using multiple different products. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made the card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #320, Frame It.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut another panel of All About Autumn DSP using the 4th from the largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I cut a panel of Very Vanilla using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut panel of DSP to the Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the framed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the small maple and oak leave dies from the Autumn Leaves Dies from panels of All About Autumn DSP. I adhered the leaves under the sentiment using Glue Dots. I added a few Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Autumn 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the oak leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink over the solid images. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow CAS

Posted on by

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a very wet and rainy one here in NJ and it’s continuing through today.

I have a super quick and easy card for you today that you can make multiple of in no time. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set along with the Online Exclusive Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper and the Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set on the bottom of a Real Red panel in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Traditions of St. Nick DSP to the top of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Real Red Ribbon from the real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack around the layered panel and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I adhered a panel of Traditions of St. Nick DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red Ink. I cut the panel using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I took my Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker and edged the sides of the panel. I adhered the basic White panel to the center of the inner liner mat.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in real Red Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Traditions of St. Nick DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings

Posted on by
6

Good Saturday morning stamping friends welcome to the weekend and HAPPY AUTUMN!!! I can’t believe summer is over. Summer one of my favorite seasons, but I do like spring and autumn and winter too. I’m just a hot weather person. I hope you are getting some plans in the works for the weekend. I’ll be working all day today.

Since it’s Autumn, I only thought it would be appropriate to have a fall card for you today. To see a quick video on how I made this card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for the day.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Rectangle Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Them Bones Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Cajun Craze card front using the Timeworn Type 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut the panel of Stargazing DSP partway through, I moved the die so that I would cut a square and cut again from the opposite side. I stamped the splatter image from the Textured Floral stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, all around the panel. I adhered the stamped DSP panel to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Them Bones DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stamin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Fruitful Blessings Dies I cut the solid corn die from a panel of Cajun Craze, the detailed corn die from a panel of Crushed Curry, the corn husk from a panel of Crumb Cake and the leaves from a panel of Old Olive.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Pebbled Path, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the detailed corn to the solid corn die. I adhered the leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the corn and corn husk using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel and colored the images with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Them Bones DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

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! Beauty of The Deep for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? We’re at the Last weekend of July which means just about the end of Bonus Days.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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 link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of The Deep Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Deckled Rectangle Dies, All That Dies, Online Exclusives Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by folding the large card base in half on the 5″ score line. I then folded the smaller inner panel on the 1/2″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″ & 3 1/2″ score lines making them all mountain folds. I added Tear & Tape on the 1/2″ section. Laying the card flat, I folded the scored section on the 1 1/2″ score line (tear & tape facing up) and folded the right side over adhering it together. I added Tear & Tape between the 2 1/2″ & 3 1/2″ score lines. I laid the inside panel butted up against the large card base score line, so the Tear & Tape was facing up and the longer part was flat on the back of the card base. I folded the front of the card base down onto the panel to adhere them together.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a Lost Lagoon card front using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the card front through the center panel twice and tied a small bow in the front. Using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. I stamped the splatter image from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of The Deep Cling Stamp Set in Soft Sea Foam Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the DSP to look like tiny bubbles.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the coral image from the Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I stamped the seaweed image from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink 3 times & the anchor image in Pebbled path Ink. I stamped the 2 fish images from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and Blueberry Bushel Ink. I cut all the images out using the Beauty of The Deep Dies. Using the Beauty of The Deep Dies again, I cut 2 of the taller seaweed dies from a panel of Moody Mauve and 3 of the small coral dies from a panel of Petal Pink.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut pieces to the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Lost lagoon Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the oval die from the All That Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Three Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from Happy Labels stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the coral image from the Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the seaweed image from Beauty of the Deep stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink next to the coral and the angle fish image in Tuxedo Black Ink above the coral. I stamped the tiny splatter image from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, by the fish. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside panel using Stampin’ Seal. I cut a strip of Hello Irresistible DSP using the side of the Deckled Rectangle Die to cut the edge of the paper like the card front panel. I adhered the strip to the edge of the inside panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 8 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside back, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the anchor image from the Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the coral image from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink and the seaweed image in Pretty Peacock Ink. I stamped the fish image from Beauty of The Deep in Blueberry Bushel Ink next to the coral. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside back of the card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 2 panels of Hello Irresistible DSP to the column using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 9 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the coral, seaweed, anchor and 2 fish images from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral, Pretty Peacock, Pebbled Path, Tuxedo Black and Blueberry Bushel Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in your state in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday).  Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.

For those wondering about Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, and Wisconsin, those states have suspended the sales tax holiday again this year.
