Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Hope your week has started off well. I have my Stamp Camp Card Class tonight and I have nothing prepared. I at least have an idea of what cards we’re going to make. So, today will be spent cutting up cardstock and prepping supplies. The good thing is the ladies that come to the class comment on my cards so I know the one’s they would like to make.

I played with some of the beautiful Sale-a-bration DSP for today’s card. There are only 3 weeks left of Sale-a-bration where you can earn free products with qualifying orders. Plus, for those that have already gotten what they would like from the Sale-a-bration brochure, Stampin’ Up! has added more items. all information is below after my card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Bundle along with the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper for my card today. This Fragrant Flowers Bundle is one of 4 bundles that you get to pick if you want it in Cling or Photopolymer. Which is your favorite kind of stamp?

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Favored Flowers DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the large flower image from a panel of Favored Flowers DSP using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. I adhered the die cut flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Friend 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Favored Flowers 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.

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

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.

January – April 2023 Mini Catalog Designer Series Paper Share

If you are a customer of mine, you should be receiving your catalogs any day now. If you are not a customer yet and would like to be, please send me an email with your name and address stating that you would like a copy of the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 5 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 9.

How 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 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! Designer Series Paper Shares Do Not earn my Creative Stamping Designs Rewards.

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog:

New Designer Series Paper Share – $27.00 plus $8.00 for Priority Mail shipping

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

  • By The Bay 6″ x 6″ Specialty – 12
  • Country Floral – 6
  • Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ – 6
  • Delicate Desert – 6
  • Dry Brush Metallic – 2
  • Enjoy The Journey – 6
  • Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ – 12
  • Fine Shimmer – 3
  • Like An Animal Specialty – 6
  • Rain Or Shine Specialty – 6
  • Ready To Ride Specialty – 6
  • Regency Park 6″ x 6″ – 12
  • Textured Shimmer – 3
  • Vellum Basics Specialty – 3

In all, you’ll receive 89 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or speciality paper!

Double DSP Share – $54.00 + $8.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 so that you’ll be able to get three A2 size card fronts from each sheet (except for the By The Bay, Country Gingham, Fancy Flora and Regency Park, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).

FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining my share, you’ll also get a sampler of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Packs!  I’ll send each participant in my share a sampler of papers from the Dainty Flowers, Day At The Farm, Favored Flowers and Dandy Designs Sale-a-bration DSP packs!

Anyone is welcome to join in my share (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  If you’d like to join, email the following information to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com.

  • Your first and last name

I only accept Paypal for payment unless you are a customer of mine.  If you are a customer, I will accept payment by check.  ***You do not need to have a Paypal account to pay the invoice, you can choose to pay by credit card without having a Paypal account.
