Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood In Pink

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Well, the month is just about over and so is Sale-a-bration. I hope you’ve gotten all the free goodies that you were wanting. We actually had spring like weather here in NJ yesterday and we’re expecting the same today with rain. I’m done with the cold, I’m ready for the warm weather to get here so I can start fixing my gardens up. How about you?

Today’s card is the last one that I made using Sale-a-bration product. I also used some new Online Exclusive products that will be available starting on March 5th. If you like pink, then this card is definitely for you. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Hreee’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Magnolia Mood Bundle that will be available starting March 5th for my card today along with the Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper that will be going away tomorrow.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood in Pink 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the detailed magnolia using the Magnolia Mood Dies from a panel of Basic White. I adhered the die cut to a Flight & Airy DSP card front using dots of Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood in Pink 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large magnolia image from the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I colored the image using Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Magnolia Mood Dies. I adhered a piece of Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack in a Z on the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the large magnolia to the card front on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large magnolia image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small magnolia image form the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Bubble Bath and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hellos CAS

Good Monday morning stamping friends and Happy Presidents Day!! Is anyone lucky enough to have today off? I have to work today, but there’s no mail so I may get out a little early, but it all depends how the weekend went. How was everyone’s weekend? I had all these intentions of getting so much done in my craft room. That did not happen.

We’re down to our final 10 days of Sale-a-bration so I thought I’d make a card using some of the free products you can earn. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions with Flight & Airy

Good snowy Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the long holiday weekend. I woke up this morning to at least 7″ of snow and it’s still coming down. I heard it was going to snow, but lately the weatherman hasn’t gotten the weather correct, so I was in disbelief. I LOVE when it snows and looking outside at the beautiful blanket of white. I especially love when I get to stay inside and look at it all day, but I’ll be at work all day and I’m guessing it’s going to be busy with all those people who suddenly don’t have shovels, want to buy the snowblowers and need salt. Do you have any plans in the works? Who’s lucky enough to have a long weekend for Presidents day?

Wit the beautiful blanket of snow, I have a quick and easy springy card for you using some of the Sale-a-bration 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’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Bundle along with the Layered Floral 3D Embossing Folder and Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Cling Stamp Set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom of a Basic White card front. I embossed the top section of the card front using the Layered Floral EF.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a strip of Flight & Airy DSP to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Boho Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Flight & Airy DSP, I cut the bird image using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. Using the next size larger Thoughtful Expressions Dies, I cut a panel of Boho Blue. I adhered the die cut DSP to the die cut Boho Blue panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Glossy Dots Assortment to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Flight & Airy DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Boho Blue mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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! Inspirational Sketches Rocker

Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend and Happy New Year’s Eves Eve. Hard to believe that another year has come to an end. Is anyone starting to make plans? We’ll be staying in as usual. My husband was supposed to have some friends over, but my daughter has covid so no visitors here. I’ll be working all day today and I have to go in tomorrow morning to close out for the month and year.

Since I missed yesterday’s fun fold Friday, I thought I would make kind of a fun fold. I actually lost track of the days this week and thought Wednesday was Tuesday and forgot to do my live. The holidays tend to do that to me sometimes, especially when it falls on a Monday. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card today, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Cling Stamp Set (available January4), along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies, Best Label Punch and the Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today. This DSP will be available free with a qualifying order of $50 or more starting January 4th.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Misty Moonlight using the 2nd largest die from the Deckled Circles Dies. I scored the circle in half and folded it to make the card base. I cut a panel of Flight & Airy DSP using the 3rd largest Deckled Circles Dies and cut the circle in half using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the cut panels of the DSP to the front and back of the Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered another panel of Flight & Airy DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the top of the card base using Liquid Glue, making sure to put the panel low enough so it would fit in the envelope. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the bird in using my Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils. I fussy cut the bird using Paper Snips. I adhered the bird to the top section of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small piece of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Best Label Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Tinsel Gems Three Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the cross-hash image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Sketches Rocker 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image with my Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope flap.

Only a Few days left to Join my January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. 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 15th.

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 – $15.00 plus $8.50 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):

  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  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.

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

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! Enduring Beauty for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? When you read this post, will have been in my kitchen baking for a couple hours already. I got all my cookie doughs mixed and put in the fridge yesterday, today and tomorrow are my baking days.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. 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 is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty Bundle along with the new Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Bundle and Sale-A-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper for my card today. All these items will be available starting January 4 from the January – April 2024 Mini Catalog.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #773.

I also joined in with the Flower Challenge #87.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering panels of Flight & Airy DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, I placed #1 mask over the floral image and added Gorgeous Grape Ink using my Blending Brush. I placed #2 mask over the image and added Soft Sea Foam Ink using my Blending Brush. I placed #4 mask over the image and added Gorgeous Grape Ink again using my Blending Brush to highlight the flower. Last I placed #4 mask over the image and added Soft Sea Foam Ink again using my Blending Brush to highlight the leaves. I cut the image out using the Enduring Beauty Dies. From a panel of Soft Sea Foam, I cut some of the leaves and flowers using the Enduring Beauty Dies.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the 2nd largest Perennial Postage Dies. I added some Boho Blue Ink to the die cut panel using my Blending Brush. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set in Boho Blue Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the panel to the card base using Liquid Glue only on the left side. I added the colored floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the die cut leaves and flowers behind the floral image. I added a few Brushed Brash Butterflies and Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I cut another panel of Basic White using the 2nd largest Perennial Postage Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Boho Blue on the die cut panel. I stamped just the top of the flower image from the Enduring Beauty stamp set in Basic Gray on the bottom of the panel. I lined up the Basic White panel to the back of the card front panel and closed the back onto it to make sure they lined up and you couldn’t see it when the card was closed.

Stampin' Up! Enduring Beauty Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the top of the large flower image from the Enduring Beauty stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. Using the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, I colored the image the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of Flight & Airy DSP to the envelope flap.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. 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 15th.

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 – $15.00 plus $8.50 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):

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6
  • Poetic Expressions – 6
  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons or Baker’s Twine.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • 1/4″ Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon
  • 3/8″ Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon
  • Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack
  • 1/8″ Gold Faux Leather Trim

Double Ribbon Share – $20 + $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon and baker’s twine.

If you would like the Designer Series Paper Share AND the Ribbon Share the cost will be:

$25 for a single share + $8.50 shipping

$50 for a double share + $8.50 shipping.
