Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week and the last day of March! How was everyone’s weekend? Saturday night I went to a fund raiser and ended up winning 2 tickets to a Red Bulls Game. Soccer has been a big thing in my house for years, since my son started playing when he was 5 (he’ll be 30 in June). I spent most of yesterday working in my living room doing some spring cleaning. I find I’m much more productive if I work on 1 room at a time rather than my normal jumping from room to room.

I have a quick card for you today using an older set and DSP that seemed to have gotten forgotten about over here. 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! Cheerful Daisies Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder, 2 3/8″ Circle Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies and Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #679

Sprinkle it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Randomly stamp the detailed and solid daisy images from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. Adhere the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Adhere the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet in Copper

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How has your week started? Today’s a very special day; it’s my dad’s birthday and he was the most wonderful dad any child would want. Unfortunately, I lost him 28 years ago, but he will always be in my heart. I still remember our walks together, the games we played, puzzles we built and all the wonderful things we did together. Yes, I was a daddy’s little girl. Did you or do you still have a special bond with your dad?

Today’s card I played with some older sets from the annual catalog. Sometimes we forget about those with all the new products from the mini catalogs and online exclusives. I’ve also used one of the 2023-2025 In-Colors that will be retiring in April. If this is one you like, grab it while it’s still available. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

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

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value.

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! Greetings of The Season

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are all have some plans in the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m hoping to start the Christmas decorating process a little tomorrow. Yesterday and last night I was able to completely un-decorate my house. Those of you that know me, know that I pack everything away for the holidays from Knick Knacks to pictures and pillows. I rearrange furniture and move some out of the room to fit my Christmas decorations and tree. My house is like walking into Christmas land.

Today’s card was designed by Karen Ilsley for our retreat last weekend. It’s such a beautiful Christmas card and I couldn’t wait to make it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Greetings Of The Season 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Golden Greenery Photopolymer Stamp Set, Season of Green &Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder, Brushed Silver & Gold Specialty Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and 2 3/8″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Greetings Of The Season 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a panel of Mossy Meadow using the Distressed Tile EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Very Vanilla card base using Liquid Glue. Adhere a strip of Garden Green to the side of the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. Adhere a panel of Season of Green & Gold DSP to a Soft Sea Foam mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Greetings Of The Season 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut panels of Old Olive and Mossy Meadow with the square dies. Adhere them together using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere them to the card front using Liquid Glue on the left side and Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side. On a panel of Soft Sea Foam, stamp the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. Using the 2 3/8″ Punch, cut a circle from a panel of Brushed Gold paper. Adhere the sentiment to the gold mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered sentiment to the die cut squares using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Greetings Of The Season 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Tie a piece of the Very Vanilla 3/4″ Satin Ribbon using Gold Twisted Thread. Adhere it to the card front using a Glue Dot. Add a few gold Blooming Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Greetings Of The Season 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin' Up! Greetings Of The Season 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the detailed leaf image from the Golden Greenery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the solid leaf image from the Golden Greenery stamp set in Old Olive Ink over the detailed image. Adhere a panel of Season of Green & Gold DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Has anyone made any plans yet? I’ll be at work all day today. I had a very productive day yesterday (not in my craft studio though). I trimmed some plants & weeded outside, picked tomatoes and jalapeño peppers, did lots of laundry, cleaned and finished decorating my house for summer (I know, we’re a month in already). By last night I felt like I accomplished everything I wanted to except making cards for the week. Cards will be on tomorrow’s agenda. I might even lock myself in my card studio LOL.

I played with an older set for today’s card. I don’t know about you, but I stand in front of my stamp sets and always seem to pull the same sets out. Today I used one that I haven’t played with in a while. 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! Lovely & Sweet 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss the Basic White panel using the Distressed Tile EF. Adhered the panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. Add a few Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the large image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pecan Pie on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Peach Pie, Pecan Pie and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Peach Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. Stamp the large image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details CAS

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We had such a gorgeous day here yesterday in NJ. The heat wave broke for a day and it was down to 79, but it was the windiest day you could imagine. It was so strong it knocked one of my tomato plants over. Luckily, I didn’t lose any of the tomatoes.

My card today uses all but 1 of the new 2024-2026 in-Colors. 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! Everyday Details CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set along with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the flower vase image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I colored the image using Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. After I colored the vase, I went over it with the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to lighten the color a bit.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink next to the vase. I stamped the dotted image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Peach Pie Ink around the vase image. I embossed the panel using the Distressed Tile EF.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the embossed panel to a Peach Pie mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the dotted image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Peach Pie Ink around the sentiment and corners. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Peach Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower vase image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front and just the flowers on the envelope flap in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the dotted image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Peach Pie Ink around the images. I colored the images the same as I did for the card.

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue Ink to a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up!

I adhered the embossed panel to a Night of Navy mat using Liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the single orange image from the Citrus Bloms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Citrus Blooms Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow with Linen Thread and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a few Opal Rounds Assortment.

Stampin' Up! citrus Blooms Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

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! Filled With Fun Hello

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be at work again all day today. I finally have tomorrow off, so I’m hoping to play catch up.

Today’s card features an Online Exclusive set along with a new set from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Filled with Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the new Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a pane of Azure Afternoon to the card front using Liquid Glue. I then adhered a panel of Balmy Blue to the card front using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flower image from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Azure Afternoon above the flower image. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Balmy Bue, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to an Azure Afternoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Azure Afternoon 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (retiring April 30th), around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Filled with Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I embossed the envelope flap using the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Fun Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com
