Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs Go To Greetings for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Less than 24 hours before I leave for out OnStage convention in Houston TX. To say I’m excited doesn’t even begin to describe what I’m feeling. I can’t wait to share what I can with you.

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 #205 is Spring Has Sprung. Believe it or not, my card only uses Stamps, Ink and Paper, no dies or punches. 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! Happy Hedgehogs Spring 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the entire photo and colors for my Clean & Layered card today. 

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 205.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Spring 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering squares of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Garden Green card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Bubble Bath card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Spring 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic white, I stamped the tree image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the branch. I colored the image using Balmy Blue, Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork panel to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Thank You

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and heading to the weekend. This month is just flying by. Did anyone else hear Christmas music yesterday? I thought I was imaging it, but it was officially Christmas in July and my radio in the morning was playing Christmas music.

Today I have a super quick card for you. I pulled out a set I haven’t played with in a while and paired it up with some DSP and I was done. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Alphabest Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set and Best Label Punch for today’s card.

I played along with Sunday Stamps Be Bold Challenge #314.

Stampin' Up! Alphabest Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Delightfully Eclectic DSP card front to a Copper Clay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Alphabest Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment using the Alphabest stamp set in Copper Clay Ink. I cut all the letters out using the Best Label Punch.

Stampin' Up! Alphabest Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Alphabest Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium outline daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the daisy center in Crushed Curry Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Alphabest Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium outline daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the daisy centers in Crushed Curry Ink. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Alphabest Thank You 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Fun Fold

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started off good. Temps are going back up here in NJ this week, and I’m sure the humidity will be up there too.

My card today was inspired by some flowers in my yard. I have 3 gorgeous Hibiscus plants that are just full of buds waiting to bloom. They have started and it seems like 1 or 2 flowers a day are opening up. Here are 2 of my plants that started blooming, the 3rd one has buds but hasn’t started yet. These flowers are about 10″ in diameter, and I have them in the front yard and backyard of my house.

Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Timeless Charm Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Just Add Ink Challenge #662.

I also played along with Just Us Girls CAS Week Challenge #689 Three of Something. I have 3 flowers on my card front.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a small Basic White thick card base to the front of the large card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline leaf image from the Petal Park stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Petal Park stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once before stamping over the outlined image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Berry Burst mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the small Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline flower image from the Petal Park stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Petal Park stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink over the outline image. I cut the flowers out using the Petal Park Builder Punch.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Berry Burst, I stamped the top of the sentiment from the Timeless Charm stamp set in Versamark Ink. Using Washi Tape, I covered the bottom part of the sentiment, inked up the stamp and removed the washi tape before stamping. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to a Bubble Bath mat using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flower centers and card front.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the bottom part of the sentiment from Timeless Charm stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. Using Washi Tape again, I covered the top part of the sentiment, inked up the stamp and removed the Washi Tape before stamping on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Berry Burst mat using Stampin’ Seal then to the inside of the small Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped a portion of the outline leaf image from the Petal Park stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the solid leaf image in Garden Green Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the outline flower image from the Petal Park stamp set in Berry burst Ink. I stamped the solid flower image in Bubble Bath Ink over the outline image. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Friendship Card

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works? I’ll be working today, but we will be closing the store early for a staff event. The owner is taking the entire staff and guest to a Somerset Patriots Game tonight, this is our local team that is associated with the New York Yankees. There’s more socializing going on than watching the game LOL. He gets us the picnic area that comes with food and drinks and the night is finished off with a firework show. We went last year, and it was a lot of fun. It’s one of the managers birthdays, so husband daughter and I worked together and made cupcakes to bring. The last count going was 50 people. It really is a lot of fun to get together with everyone outside of the store.

Today’s card is one that we made at our Stamp Camp this past week. I thought I’d have the ladies make a nice refreshing summer card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Timeless
Arrangements Photopolymer Stamp Set
, Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder, Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and 2″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Sweet Citrus Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the pitcher and glass outline images from the Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the pitcher and glass solid images from the So Refreshing stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the detail lemon image in Daffodil Delight Ink full strength, and the solid lemon image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on top of the detailed image. I stamped the lemon slice image from the So Refreshing stamp set in the pitcher in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the ice cube image in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, in the pitcher. I cut all the images out using the So refreshing Dies. I cut the detailed leaves from the So Refreshing Dies out of a panel of Granny Apple Green. I cut the tablecloth die from the So Refreshing Dies out of a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP. I adhered the blanket to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the pitcher and glasses using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves to the lemons using Glue Dots then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the So Refreshing stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2″ Circle Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the outline pitcher image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid pitcher image from So Refreshing stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the lemon slice image in Daffodil Delight Ink and the ice cubes in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a strip of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Friendship 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pitcher and lemons on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic 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! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I worked all day Saturday but had Sunday off. I was able to catch up on a workshop I had signed up for with Stampin’ Up! It was live on Saturday, but we are able to access the link until July. I was excited to see what they did with the bundle that will be available to customers in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. We also got a sneak peek at Online Exclusive products that will be available July 6th. These workshops are one of the perks of being a demonstrator. There’s information below if you would like to join and be on my team, I’d love for you to join me.

Today’s card is one of the cards from the Creativity Now Workshop. This one was the first card, but the advanced version. Of course, I made a few tweaks to make it my own. I’ll be posting the ‘CAS’ version tomorrow. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Bubble Bath card bae using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink next to the large flower. I stamped the stems and leave from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the panel using the 2nd & 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies, cutting them at the same time. I adhered the die cut panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Vellum Paper, I stamped the large flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink, the medium flower image in Lemon Lolly Ink and the double leaf image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the artwork using Glue Dots, off centering them slightly.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered a piece of Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Translucent Florals stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on a panel of Basic White.

I stamped the small flower by the sentiment in Bubble Bath Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

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.

Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing 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 Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Patchwork 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Bundle along with the Patchwork Pieces Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folder and Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our theme this week.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Patchwork 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Calypso Coral card front using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. Using the Patchwork Pieces Dies, I cut the embossed panel and 2 panels of Delightfully Eclectic DSP.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Patchwork 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Garden Green, I adhered the pieces to complete 1 using a different panel for each section. Doing this will give you 3 card fronts to use on 3 different cards. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the pitcher and glass images from the Stampin’ Up! So refreshing Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the pitcher and glass fill images in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the ice cute image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink inside the pitcher and glasses, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the leaf image from the So Refreshing stamp set in Garden Green Ink and the leaf fill image in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut the images out using the So Refreshing Dies. I stamped the lemon and lemon slice images from the So Refreshing stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on a panel of Lemon Lolly cardstock. I cut the images and the blanket out using the So Refreshing Dies. Using the So Refreshing Dies, I cut the strawberries from a scrap of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and the strawberry tops from a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Patchwork 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the strawberry tops to the strawberries using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves to the lemons using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the lemon slices in half using Paper Snips. I adhered the blanket to the card front. I adhered the pitcher, glass and lemons to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the strawberries in the pitcher and glasses using Glue Dots. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Patchwork 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Refreshing stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. I had stamped and cut out 2 of the glass images, so I adhered one of them on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.

Stampin' Up! So Refreshing Patchwork 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pitcher and ice cube images from So Refreshing stamp set on the envelope front in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the solid fill image in Bubble Bath Ink. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Hello

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope there are some fun plans for you in the works. I’ll be working all day today, but I have off tomorrow. I picked up some plants yesterday and I’m hoping to get them in their flowerpots today after work. I bought a bunch of herbs, and my daughter wanted a jalapeño pepper plant and of course I had to buy some Gerber Daisies to put in some of my flowerpots around my patio. I put the herbs in flowerpots around all my tomato plants to help keep the critters away. My tomato plants have little tomatoes on them already. If we ever get rain here and then a nice hot day, these plants are going to take off.

Today I have a clean and simple card for you using just stamps, ink and paper. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye Vies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Basic Whtie Mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on top of the books. I stamped the glasses image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the bird image. I colored the images using Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on top of the panel. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bird image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the glasses image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bird in Wild Wheat Ink. I colored the bird with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image with Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wheat and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. 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.

Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Neutral Baby Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Did anyone do anything special? We had our quarterly team meeting, enjoyed the time with team members chatting and stamping together. Oh, and the cards we made are super cute. I’ll be sharing them over the next week.

Today’s card was the first one we made designed by one of my team members from PA, Akiko Sudano. This one is a neutral baby card and I just love it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamers Neutral 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Bundle, Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Nested Essentials Dies and Basic 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamers Neutral 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Daffodil Delight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the lion, stars and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Little Dreamers Dies and the smallest rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies for the sentiment. Using the Little Dreamers Dies, I cut 2 clouds from the same panel.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamers Neutral 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock I cut the banner die using the Nested Essentials Dies. I embossed the banner using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the banner to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment on the banner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the lion image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the clouds and stars to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small knot using the 3/8″ Garden Green Ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack. I adhered the knot below the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamers Neutral 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Daffodil Delight card base.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamers Neutral 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the baby lion image from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.
