Stampin’ Up! Arched Wishes for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #216 is Spring Celebrations. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Arched Wishes Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Arched Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Everyday Arches Dies, Brights 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and the Pastel Ombre Glimmer Specialty Paper, for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the beautiful pastel colors along with the balloons, cupcakes and tropical leaves in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 216.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Arched Wishes Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of the Brights DSP to a Granny Apple Green card base using Liquid Glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest Everyday Arches Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Arched Wishes Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all doing well today. I’m still so exhausted from the weekend.

Today’s card I have a little sneak peek for you of something coming in the new 2025 – 2026 Annual Catalog. I received this set as my Prize Patrol on Saturday. As soon as I saw the rose in the set, I thought about my daughter’s friend who love Beauty and The Beast. My daughter needed a birthday card for her, so that’s what I used.

Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning 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 Theme Challenge. 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 using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies Arch 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Bundle along with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive It’s Okay Cling Stamp Set (available March 4th) and Everyday Arches Dies for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies Arch 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the 4th from the smallest Everyday Arches Dies, cut the center of the Basic White card front out. Set the cut-out piece back in the center and stamp the small cluster of butterflies from the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink on the top and bottom of the panel. Stamp the leaf image from the It’s Okay stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the side of the arch. Stamp the sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Basic Gray on the die cut arch.

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies Arch 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss the card front, with center piece, using the Exposed Brick EF. Adhere the large card front panel to a Petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the center die cut arch to the card front, fitting it inside the large card front, using Liquid Glue. Cut the small, detailed butterfly using the Sketched Butterflies Dies from a panel of Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper. Adhere the butterfly to the top of the arch using a Glue Dot.

Cut the three detailed butterflies from a panel of Petal Pink using the Sketched Butterflies Dies. Adhere the butterflies to the card front using Glue Dots. Add a few Basic Gray Pearls to the center of the butterflies.

Stamp the butterfly image from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Petal Pink Ink next to the sentiment. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies Arch 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the leaf image from the It’s Okay stamp set in Lost Lagoon 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.

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.

My January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 7th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the January Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $130.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $38.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6X6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Beautiful Bokeh (6)
