Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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.

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.

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.

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! Layers of Beauty CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Yesterday was a real washout here in NJ. It rained from 2am till about 4pm and three were floods everywhere. It was a perfect day to stay in and craft, but unfortunately I had to go to work. Today is supposed to be sunny, we’ll see what happens.

I have a sneak peek for you today of a gorgeous set coming in the 2024-2o25 Annual Catalog. This set comes as a bundle, but I only used the stamp set. 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! Layers Of Beauty CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set which will be available starting May 1st, along with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom of the 4″ X 5 1/4″ card front panel. I embossed the panel using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Liquid Glue then to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I embossed the smaller Basic White panel using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the Misty Moonlight panel to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the multi-layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the top of the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Merry & Bright Swing Card

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!1 I hope yu have some plans in the works. I’ll be working all day and I’m sure it will be a busy one. They will be cooking and demonstrating products outside. I know they are cooking up a turkey and some trimmings. Hopefully it’ll be a busy quick day.

Today’s card is another one we made 2 weeks ago at our retreat. I can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks already. I still have others I’ll be sharing with you. Today’s card was designed by Susan Kuenzel and it is just too cute. I used the Stampin’ Up! Merry & Bright Bundle along with the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Festive & Fun Cling Stamp Set and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. These were 2 sets that I hadn’t purchased yet before the retreat. Guess what’s on order? Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Merry & Bright Swing 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by folding the card base as listed below. I adhered 2 panels of Merry Bold & Bright DSP to the left side and inside of the fold on the front. I embossed 2 panels of Popy Parade using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered 1 of the panels t the thin part of the folded card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Merry & Bright Swing 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the 2nd embossed strip of Poppy Parade, I punched a 3/8″ circle, 1/4″ down from the top. I lined the embossed panel on top of the other embossed panel and placed a Stampin’ Dimensional inside the punched hole on the card front. Using the Merry & Bright Dies, I cut 3 of the filaments from a panel of Basic White, 1 Crushed Curry, 1 Granny Apple Green and 1 Pool Party bulb, 3 Shaded Spruce bulb toppers and 1 Shaded Spruce light string. I adhered the Basic White filaments to the bulbs and the bulb toppers to each bulb. I threaded the bulbs onto the string. I adhered the strung bulbs to the embossed panel that I punched the hole in and adhered them using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Merry & Bright Swing 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merry & Bright Photopolymer Stamp Set in Poppy Parade Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Merry Bold & Bright DSP mat using Stamin’ Seal. I set the embossed panel with the strung lights on the embossed card front panel so that the dimensional was through the hole. I adhered the layered sentiment to the Stampin’ Dimensional.

Stampin' Up! Merry & Bright Swing 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I adhered a panel of the Merry Bold & Bright DSP to the right side using Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Festive & Fun stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base.

Stampin' Up! Merry & Bright Swing 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I added a strip of the Merry Bold & Bright DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate 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. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pretty Peacock card front using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the card front to a Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 3 panels of All About Autumn DSP on an angle and adhered them to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Calypso Coral, Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Moody Mauve, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Rustic Crate Dies. I adhered the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Moody Mauve, I cut the sentiment using the Rustic Crate Dies and adhered it to the card front. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope flap and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn 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! Abundant Beauty Hello for The Card Concpets

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend.

We’re back with inspiration challenges from The Card Concepts. We will be doing month-long challenges now.  The inspiration photo #199 is Country Style. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the gorgeous new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set and the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean & Layered card today. I was inspired by the sunflowers in the inspiration photo along with the black & white gingham and red ribbons in the photo. I also kept with their colors too.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 199.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by randomly stenciling the sunflowers using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks on a Basic White card front. I used Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry Inks on the sunflowers, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Inks for the sunflower centers and Garden Green Ink for the leaves.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the card front using the Distressed Tile 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Real Red mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Ribbon and Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a thin strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the red Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stenciled the sunflowers and leaves using the Abundant Beauty Masks, coloring them the same as I did for the car front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a real Red mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.,

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stenciled the sunflower images from the Abundant Beauty masks on the envelope front and flap the same as I did for the card.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic Thank You

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going as planned. I’m hoping to get all my kits cut up today and ready for my class on Tuesday. We will see how the day goes.

I have a quick monochromatic card for you today. I LOVE using colors on my cards, but I also like a monochromatic one every once in a while. I went out of my comfort zone with today’s card using a shade of yellow. Want to see a quick video of how I made this card? You can see it Here on my Instagram reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Wild Wheat card front using the Distressed Tile EF (available Sept 6). I adhered the embossed panel to a Wild Wheat card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Very Vanilla using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the leaf die using the Gorgeously Made Dies from a panel of 2023-2025 In-Color Luster Paper. I adhered the die cut piece to the cut & embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Cling Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Wild Wheat Jute trim from the 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim pack. I adhered the bow to the stem of the leaf using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the script image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink over the script image once in full strength ink and once stamped off on scrap paper. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink over the script image, full strength ink and stamped off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings on Very Vanilla

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have anything planned for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day today and I believe the rest of the weekend is going to be fairly quiet. My husband will probably be trying to catch up on some sleep. He was away on business in Colorado this past week working 12–16-hour days. He’s exhausted and is probably going to be vegging out all weekend and not doing a thing. I’m hoping to try to get some fall cleaning done and maybe get caught up on card making.

I don’t usually CASE cards. I see elements of cards that I like and I’ll work it into my card. My team leader Amy made this card last week and I fell in love with it. I did change a few things on it like DSP and I used cardstock where she used DSP, but it’s her card. Want to see a quick video on how I made this card? You can see it Here on my Instagram reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and Merriest Trees Dies all available starting Sept 6th. I also used the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 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 embossed a Very Vanilla card front using the new Distressed Tile 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a copper Clay mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Merriest Trees Dies, I cut Copper Clay and Very Vanilla tags and tag reinforcers. I embossed the Copper Clay tag using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the Very Vanilla tag reinforcer on the Copper Clay tag and the Copper Clay tag reinforcer on the Very Vanilla tag using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. I adhered the tags together using Stampin’ Seal, lining up the holes on the tags. I threaded a piece of 3/8″ Copper Clay Textured Ribbon through the holes and tied a knot.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the image with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the image using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. I adhered the cut image to the tags using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the leaf die using the Fruitful Blessings Dies from the panel of Coper Clay. I adhered the leaves under the floral image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tags to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel 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 sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the new Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the floral image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on 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! Fruitful Blessings Copper 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front and 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.

New Designer Series Paper as part of the Online Exclusive Products

Free Gift from Me – A Sample with my Designer Series Paper Shares Below

Surprise, surprise! We’re offering a special release of five beautiful new Designer Series Paper options! These papers include fabulous holiday prints, gorgeous seasonal styles, and some spectacular timeless designs. 

We originally created these papers to be part of our second Sale-A-Bration offering. However, since our next release of new Online Exclusive products won’t happen until November (and you won’t be able to find any of these papers in a catalog), we’ve adjusted our strategy and decided to release these paper options starting 6 September! That way, you have the chance to get ahead on Christmas cards, seasonal crafts, and much more. These products are available while supplies last—you don’t want to miss out! 

Sales Period: Starting 6 September

  • The special release paper options will be available in the Online Exclusives category in the online store.
  • Products will only be available while supplies last. Once products run out, they will no longer be visible in the online store.

Here’s a video showing more about the paper.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Thankful

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works and the weather is going to coordinate with you. I’ll be at work all day today and tomorrow and last I checked it’s supposed to be a beautiful weekend here in NJ. But living in NJ that could change in an instant.

Today’s card I played with the new suite coming in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. In case you can’t tell, I’m really loving the new catalog. My next order going in will be more Christmas items. I wasn’t quite ready yet. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and the Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today. The only thing I didn’t used from the Suite was the embellishments. This is such an awesome suite; I hope it’s on your shopping list to order in September. Want to see a quick video on how I made this card? Click Here and go to my Instagram reels.

Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Sunflowers

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off great. Today is a special day in my house. 1 year ago, today we went to meet a puppy they called Talia for the first time. We named her Coraline and brought her home that day. It has been a year of training a puppy and her training us. She has more personality and sass in that little body of hers than you could ever image. She loves her toys as much as her treats and she is definitely mom’s sidekick, following me everywhere. When I come home, she jumps up to the top of my head (not kidding about how high she jumps) but she knows to sit if she wants me to acknowledge her. When we got her, she was 7lbs of short hair with a heart outline on her face and belly. She is now 25lbs of fluff and love.

Today I played with something new for my card. I received it in my preorder last week and couldn’t wait to play with it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sunflowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set along with the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder both coming in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog, for my card today.

I played along with the As You See It Challenge #304 – Summertime & Livin’ is Easy. One of the things I love most about summer is the flowers, especially Sunflowers.

I also joined in with the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #575 – Add A Bow/Ribbon

I played along with Stencil Fun Challenge

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sunflowers 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started with a Basic White card front and the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (available Sept 6) specifically the group of 4 to make these sunflowers. With Mask #1 I used my Blending Brush with Lemon Lolly Ink. I then added some Moody Mauve Ink on the inside part of the petals with my Small Blending Brush. I placed down Mask #2, the leaves, and started with Parakeet Party Ink using my Blending Brush. I added some Granny Apple Green Ink with the Small Blending Brush around the edges. I placed down Mask #3, flower center and added Crumb Cake Ink with my Blending Brush. Finally, I place Mask #4 down, detailed flower center, and added Pecan Pie with my Small Blending Brush.

The inspiration for my colors came from this sunflower I saw at the Sunflower Maze we had gone to.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sunflowers 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the Basic White panel using the new Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (available Sept 6). I adhered the embossed panel to a Moody Mauve mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Lemon Lolly card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sunflowers 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Moody Mauve, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Cheerful Daisies Dies. I adhered a piece of Lemon Lolly ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sunflowers 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp se5t in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, I colored 1 of the sunflower images on the bottom of the panel in the same order I did on the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Lemon Lolly card base.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sunflowers 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, I colored the sunflowers on the envelope front and flap in the same order as I did for the card front.

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

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.
