Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Yesterday turned out to be a nice day, once the humidity lifted. I was able to take my 2 pups for a walk after dinner and not work up a sweat.

Today’s card we made at our monthly team meeting on Tuesday night. Jaimie sent us all the measurements and talked us through the process of creating the card. Our cards were all similar but different. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Bundle along with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and 1 3/4″ Circle Punch for my card.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a panel of Fresh Freesia using the Eyelet EF. Using your Fresh Freesia stamp pad, swipe across the embossed panel to ink the raised images. Adhere the embossed panel to a Basic White mat with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Floral Impressions DSP to the bottom of the embossed panel with Liquid Glue. Wrap a piece of 1/4″ Misty Moonlight Ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Impressions Abloom Dies, cut 2 of the leaf dies from a panel of Pool Party and 6 tiny flowers from a panel of Fresh Freesia. Adhere the die cut leaves to the card front with Glue Dots. Adhere the tiny flowers on the leaves with Glue Dots. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the stem and leaf images from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the small, detailed flower image from Impressions Abloom stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink on the stems. Stamp the small, solid flower image over the detailed image in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Stamp the flower centers in Lemon Lolly Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the small flower image from the Impressions Abloom stamp set across the envelope front the same as you did for the inside of the card. Adhere a panel of Floral Impressions DSP to the envelope flap.

Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

  • For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.
    • You’ll earn your Creative Stamping Designs Rewards with all order of $50 or more (before tax & shipping).
    • Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

OR…

2. – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Mercury One at this LINK

  • For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Mercury One and you’ll be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be give away on July 20th.

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

  • If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses.  Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine.

NOTE: Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight Eastern Time on Saturday July 19 to be entered to win the machine.  One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Sunday July 20th from all of the entries received.

Any questions, please send me an email to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com. I appreciate your help more than I can express.

Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was your weekend? It was another rainy one here, especially yesterday. It was a good day to stay inside and catch up on a few things. I have been so busy with work and the new puppy that I haven’t had a day to just work in my craft studio. Yesterday I was finally able to spend some time in there cleaning up and getting things in order. I cut up all my ribbon for my ribbon shares and started cutting DSP for my paper shares. I’m hoping to get the rest cut up after work today.

I played with products from the new Annual Catalog today. I received my order on Friday, and it took until Saturday night to open the box. I got lots of new goodies to play with and a lot of new DSP. 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! Country Flowers Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day Photopolymer Stamp Set, Country Lace Designer Series Paper and Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design today is from Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #437.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Country Lace DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I embossed a strip of Basic Beige using the Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the bottom of the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of Shaded Spruce to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of Country Lace DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the plant image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the milk can image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the same Basic White panel. I colored the images using Gray Granite and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Country Flowers Dies. I cut the leaf die from the Country Flowers Dies from panels of Shaded Spruce and Shy Shamrock. I adhered the milk can image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 die cut leaf images in the milk can using Glue Dots. I adhered the plant image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Happiest Day stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the end on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2024-2026 In-Color Shimmer Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happiest Day stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the milk can image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the plant image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I colored the images using Gray Granet and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight 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 milk can image and sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the plant image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I colored the image using Gray Granite and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Lace 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! Unbounded Love Birthday

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s supposed to be a beautiful day here in NJ today. I’m hoping to take Coraline for a little walk or 2 today.

Today I played with all new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog again. 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! Unbounded Love Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to a Petunia Pop card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 more panels of Unbounded Beauty DSP to Petunia Pop mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the long-layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue and the shorter layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Petunia Pop using the Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the top and bottom. From a panel of Shy Shamrock, I cut the leaf frame and the leaves using the Unbounded Love Dies. From a panel of Basic White, I cut the leaf frame using the Unbounded Love Dies.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Shy Shamrock leaf frame and leaves to the card front using Liquid Glue. On the inside of the Basic White leaf frame I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petunia Pop Ink. I adhered the Basic White center to the Shy Shamrock leaf frame using Liquid Glue. I added a few of the 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the detailed leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, inside the detailed leaves. I adhered a strip of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shy Shamrock mat then to the inside of the Petunia Pop card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope front and stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on the strip. I stamped the detailed leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, inside the detailed leaf image. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

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!

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 May 13th.

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!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 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):

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am. It has taken me all week to get back to my ‘normal’ routine. I think the plane flight last week really threw me off. I have been suffering with migraines all week.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday and it’s a sneak peek of some new product coming in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the brand new Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Country Wood Designer Series Paper and Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. These products will be available to purchase starting on May 1st. If you’d like to get your hands on them early, you can join as a demonstrator and put them in your starter kit starting on April 2nd. I also used the Designer Tags Dies, Deckled Circles Dies and Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting all the parts out for the birdhouse using the Country Birdhouse Dies and Country Wood DSP, Basic Beigh, Misty Moonlight and Poo Party cardstock.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed 2 Misty Moonlight card front panels using the new Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panels to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I put the pieces of the birdhouse together using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Country Wood DSP to a Basic Beige mat that I cut using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the birdhouse to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front panel to the left side of the card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink 5 times. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Designer Tags Dies. I tied a bow using Linen Thread to the tag. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin Dimensionals. I added a Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearl (available May 1) to the sentiment flower center.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the bird and flower images from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Peach Pie and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whit panel to a Basic Beige mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! country Birdhouse Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish mu card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird and flower images from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front and colored the images the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Country Wood DSP to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   AHZBFDC4

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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.
