Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is anyone starting to make plans for the weekend? I’ll be doing a vendor event tomorrow at a local high school. I’ve never done one before, so this is all new to me.

Today I played with all retiring products. This was one of those suites that I wasn’t gong to get and once I did get it, it turned out to be one of my favorites. 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! Earthen Textures Book Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the retiring Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #632.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the center of the Basic Beige card base together between the 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″ score lines using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 3 3/4″ X 4 1/4″ panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Book Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 2 little slits on the binder part of the card base using Paper Snips. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the end 2 times and tied a small bow. On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the vase image from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the panel. I cut the images out using Earthen Textures Dies. Using the Earthen Textures Dies, I cut a panel of Distressed Gold paper and Pretty Peacock with 2 of the dies.

On another panel of Earthen Elegance DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set i Pretty Peacock Ink. I arranged the die cut pieces the way I wanted and adhered them using Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I adhered the vase using Stampin’ Dimensionals over the stems. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance 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.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share!

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Thank You

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends and Happy Thanksgiving Eve. Will you be cooking Thanksgiving Dinner or going to Family or friends for dinner? I’ll be making dinner for us. We’ll put the turkey on the grill late morning and be cooking up the sides while the turkey is cooking. Tonight, I’ll be making the apple and pumpkin pies along with getting the ingredients measured out for the pumpkin crescent rolls that I make every year.

Today’s card is the last one I have from the retreat at the beginning of the month. This card was designed by Lynn Schmidt. This set has endless possibilities of designs you can make with it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Thank You for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

This week we have Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Banner Pick A Punch for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Basic White using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pecan Pie mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Earthen Textures Dies I cut the largest vase from a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP, The feather from a panel of Distressed Gold Paper and the grass from a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the vase to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the feather and grass inside the vase using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Pecan Pie cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut both ends using the Banner Pick A Punch. I folded the ends to make a raised banner and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tall vase image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the branch and small leaf images from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, masking the vase, one stamping off once on scrap paper and the other full strength. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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! Earthen Textures Thank You

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. It’s a rainy one here. I’ll be at the dog bakery all day today, and with the rain, very few pups come in.

Today’s card I was just having fun playing with the suite. The possibilities are endless with this suite. I might have a couple more to share over the next week with you. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 1 creativestampungdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along withe the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 2 creativestampungdesigns.com

I started by randomly stamping the branch image from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink on a Gray Granite card front, some stamped full strength, some stamped off. I adhered the stamped panel to a Pretty Peacock card base. On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the small vase image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the image out using the Earthen Textures Dies. Using the Earthen Textures Dies, I cut 2 of the trellis from a panel of Basic White and the grass and tall vase from a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 3 creativestampungdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the tall branch image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set twice in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the branch image. I adhered the 2 trellis die cuts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tall vase to the left of the stamped image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the small vase below the stamped image overlapping the tall vase using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the grass die in the small vase using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat. I adhered 2 pieces of 1/4″ Petal Pink ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack to the card front. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 4 creativestampungdesigns.com

On a strip of Petal Pink cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Glue Dot and Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 5 creativestampungdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tall branch image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the plume image in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the branch image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 6 creativestampungdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall branch image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the branch image. I adhered aq panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 7 creativestampungdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I can’t believe we’re in the middle of the month already. I hope you are ready for the weekend. I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but I do have off on Sunday. Is anyone making plans for Father’s Day?

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. It was my first time, so I still have a bit of learning to do. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Thank You

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans to you have in the works for the weekend? I’ll be working all day today and for the first time in a couple weeks it’s supposed to rain. We do need the rain; things are starting to dry up here. Tonight I’ll be going to the high school tricky tray to support the music department. Maybe I’ll get lucky this year and win something. I usually just donate and don’t come home with anything.

I played with a new bundle, DSP and 2023-2025 In-Colors for today’s card. This was one of those sets that I was on the fence about. Once I started playing with it I realized that I’m really loving it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 1 creativestampungdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 2 creativestampungdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 other panels of Earthen Elegance DSP to Pretty Peacock mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the vase image from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink. I stamped the feather image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the same panel. I cut the images out using the Earthen Textures Dies. Using the Earthen Textures Dies again, I cut the fern from a panel of Pretty Peacock and the grass die from a panel of Misty Moonlight. I adhered the die cut feather, fern and grass pieces to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the vase over the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I stamped the feather image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the feather image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Moody Mauve on the bottom of the panel 3 times one after another without reinking the stamp. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the vase image from the Earthen Textures stamp set on the envelope front in Pecan Pie Ink. I stamped the feather image in Moody Mauve Ink. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance 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.
