Stampin’ Up! In The Country CAS Masculine

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend is going well. Before I get going with my card, I just want to remind everyone that Sale-a-bration ends Tuesday, that’s just 2 more sleeps away. If you haven’t gotten everything that you wanted from Sale-a-bration now is a great time to get that order in. Also, I want to remind you that the 2021-2023 In-Colors will be retiring in April. Don’t wait to stock up on the Cardstock, Stampin’ Write Markers, Stampin’ Blends, Ribbons, Embellishments, etc. Stock up now and get some FREE items at the same time.

I have a super quick card for you today and it’s a masculine one. I don’t know about you, but I struggle with masculine cards all the time. I don’t have the need for many, and I avoid making them. This Sale-a-bration set, that will only be available until Tuesday February 28th makes a perfect masculine card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Country Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set along with the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Neutrals DSP to a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the country road image from the In The Country stamp set in Basic Gray Ink.

Stampin' Up! In The Country CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the largest die from the Fabulous Frames Dies, I cut a panel of Basic White and Basic Gray cardstock. I only needed the inner piece from the Basic Gray die cut. I adhered the stamped image to the Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the Basic White frame to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

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

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.

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

Coming on March 1, 2023, Stampin’ Up! is going to be having Online Exclusive Products and the first will be available starting March 1st.

Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun in the works this weekend.

I played with a few different things for today’s card, stamps, ink, paper, dies, punch, embossing. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness Bundle along with the Fabulous Frames Dies and the Timeworn Type 3e Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #695.

I started by stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the floral image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Highland Heather Ink over the leaf image. I cut the image out using the largest die from the Fabulous Frames Dies making sure the floral image was towards the top. I embossed the floral image panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

From a panel of Brushed Metallic cardstock, I cut the corner die from the Fabulous Frames Dies. I adhered the corners to the Very Vanilla frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the frame to the Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the outline bottle image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the bottle fill image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut the bottle out using the Vintage Bottle Punch. I adhered the bottle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set in Highland Heather Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the floral image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set on the bottom of the panel the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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! Fresh Cut Flowers Sneak Peek 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 amazing projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders’ blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For The Ladies/Girls”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Cling Stamp Set along with the new Fabulous Frames Dies from the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalog for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Mint Macaron Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Mint Macaron card base. I stamped the large floral image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the image in using my Mint Macaron and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I cut the image out using the largest frame from the Fabulous Frames Dies. This die cuts out the image and cuts a frame at the same time. I adhered the cut floral image to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the frame to the card front, lining it up with the artwork, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Mint Macaron Genial Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Mint Macaron and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Mint Macaron and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Subtle 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.
