Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Fancy Fold

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow and Sunday is our quarterly in person meeting.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Elegant Borders Dies for my card today. All the items except for the Go To Greetings set are Online Exclusive products. These items are not and will not be in any of the catalogs, they are only available to see and purchase on the Online Store.

I started with a Thick Basic White card base and cut the front of the card base using one of the Elegant Borders Dies. I cut the dotted circle die from the Irresistible Blooms Dies from a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I adhered the dotted circle to the front of the card base using small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using the Irresistible Blooms Dies, I cut the flowers and leaves from panels of Hello Irresistible DSP. I adhered the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Cling Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Double Oval Punch. From a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I punched out the scalloped oval using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped oval using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Loose Frosted Dots using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside right of the card base I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered another die cut flower and leave from the Hello Irresistible DSP to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger flower image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf images from the Irresistible Bloom stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink by the flower. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible 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! Lovely You for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkel’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set along with the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper for my book fold card today.

These are our colors this week. I chose Polished Pink for my mystery color.

I started by coloring some of the flowers on a panel of the Perfectly Penciled DSP using my Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the card front and strip to Polished Pink mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the binding side of the card front together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Versmark Ink and sprinkled it with my Black Embossing Powder. I set it using my Heat Tool. I punched the sentiment out with my Double Oval Punch. I punched out a scalloped oval from a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped oval using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a piece of Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped the small flower from the Lovely You stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. I’ve been using the Sale-a-bration Host set a lot this week. It’s one of my favorites. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Sale-a-bration Host Cling Stamp Set along with the Stitched Greenery Die for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

I started by cutting a Soft Sea Foam card front using the Basic Borders Dies. I then ran the card front through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Stitched Greenery Die. I adhered the panel to a Mint Macaron card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I randomly stamped the leaf and swirl images from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam Inks. I cut the bottom of the panel using the same Basic Borders Die that I used for the card front. I adhered the stamped panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock and cut it out using my Double Oval Punch. I adhered some Silver Simply Elegant Trim to the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf and swirl images from the Calming Camellia stamp set on either side of the panel in Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam Inks. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and swirl images from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam Inks on the front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Subtle Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Seasons of Fun for Amy’s Inkin Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Halloween Fun”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seasons of Fun Host Cling Stamp Set along with the Cute Halloween 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Cute Halloween DSP on a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon, which I colored using my Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Marker, around the layered panel and adhered it on the back with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the Halloween image from the Season of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Ivory, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Layered Circles Dies. I cut a scalloped circle from a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Layered Circles Dies and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! A Wish For Everything Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Using my Double Oval Punch I punched out the sentiment. I punched out a Basic Black scalloped oval using the Double Oval Punch and adhered the sentiment to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pumpkin Pie Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from A Wish For Everything stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Cute Halloween DSP to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurposed Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the Halloween image from the Season of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in the same as on the card. I adhered a panel of Cute Halloween DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Wishes

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you had enjoyable one and were able to find some time for yourself.

Today’s card is one that we’re making at my card class tonight. This is the 1st class in over a year that I’m having. I’m really hoping this will be the 1st of many monthly classes again. I used the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Cling Stamp Set for my card. My card is similar to one a did a while back, one of the ladies coming asked about making it. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #414.

I started by adhering a Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper card front to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the wing fill image in Merry Merlot Ink and I punched the dragonfly out using the Dragonflies Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the same panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink over the sentiment and punched it out using the Double Oval Punch. I punched the scalloped oval from the panel of Basic White cardstock using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered the sentiment oval to the scalloped oval using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a length of 1/4″ Bumblebee Ribbon to the card front adhering it with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal in a ‘Z’ form and adhered the sentiment over the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Ladybug Trinket to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I brushed the wings of the dragonfly with some Clear Wink of Stella and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Wishes stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel using Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on the top and bottom corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set on the envelope front and adhered a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up’ Oval Occasions for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Jaimie Babarczy’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Spring”.  We can interpret this however we want.  A couple of my cashiers at work are going to be grandmas this spring, so I made a baby card. I used the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Bundle for my card. Here’s my card.

My design is from Try Stamping On Tuesday Challenge #496.

I started by embossing a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper on an angle and adhered it to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Terracotta Tile ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack, around the card front and adhered it on the back using Glue Dots. I adhered the card front to a Terracotta Tile card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Terracotta Tile is another one of the 2019-2021 In-Colors that will be retiring in May.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bunny image from the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers and leaves in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and for the flower center I used my Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker. I punched the image out using the Double Oval Punch. Using my Layering Ovals Dies, I cut the solid oval in Terracotta Tile cardstock and the scalloped oval in Mint Macaron cardstock. I adhered them together using Stampin’ Seal.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Terracotta Tile Butterfly Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the bunny image from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from the Oval Occasions stamp set on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Ornate Garden Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Birthday

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend going? Yesterday was a busier day than I expected at work. Now today I’m off to the dog boutique bakery. Hopefully we’ll get a lot of visits from our puppy friends.

For today’s card I CASED a card right from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog from page 65 using the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Bundle. I don’t usually do that, but I thought the card was just so adorable. Here’s my card for today.

Once again I used my Uplines color combo for my card for the challenge she is doing this week.

I started by punching a bunch of scalloped ovals using the new Double Oval Punch from a panel of Night of Navy cardstock. I embossed a panel of Seaside Spray cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and cut the panel into 1 1/2″ strips. I punched 4 embossed ovals out using the Double Oval Punch.

I arranged the scalloped ovals on a panel of Seaside Spray 2019-2021 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, some are hanging off the paper. I adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue so I had a little wiggle room to move them around. Once they were all adhered, I trimmed the panel down to a 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″ panel. I adhered the embossed Seaside Spray ovals on top of a few of the Night of Navy scalloped ovals using Stampin’ Dimensionals and trimmed them using my Paper Snips. I adhered the panel to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set below the sentiment and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I cut the image out using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered a piece of the Seaside Spray 1/4″ Metallic Ribbon to the scallop oval using Stampin’ Seal and adhered the sentiment on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Crushed Curry Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set below the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of the 2019-2021 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
