Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends 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 beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Mary’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Giving Thanks”. We can interpret this however we want. 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! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance DSP, Nested Essentials Dies, Countryside Corners Dies, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Countryside Corners Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a panel of Basic White using the Nested Essentials Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Exposed Brick 3D EF. I adhered the embossed die cut to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. From a panel of Granny Apple Green, I cut the leaf dies using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. I adhered the floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the floral image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Countryside Corners Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the bottom of the floral image using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a pane of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie 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.

Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings

Good Saturday morning stamping friends welcome to the weekend and HAPPY AUTUMN!!! I can’t believe summer is over. Summer one of my favorite seasons, but I do like spring and autumn and winter too. I’m just a hot weather person. I hope you are getting some plans in the works for the weekend. I’ll be working all day today.

Since it’s Autumn, I only thought it would be appropriate to have a fall card for you today. To see a quick video on how I made this card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for the day.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Rectangle Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Them Bones Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Cajun Craze card front using the Timeworn Type 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut the panel of Stargazing DSP partway through, I moved the die so that I would cut a square and cut again from the opposite side. I stamped the splatter image from the Textured Floral stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, all around the panel. I adhered the stamped DSP panel to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Them Bones DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stamin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Fruitful Blessings Dies I cut the solid corn die from a panel of Cajun Craze, the detailed corn die from a panel of Crushed Curry, the corn husk from a panel of Crumb Cake and the leaves from a panel of Old Olive.

Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings on Very Vanilla

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have anything planned for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day today and I believe the rest of the weekend is going to be fairly quiet. My husband will probably be trying to catch up on some sleep. He was away on business in Colorado this past week working 12–16-hour days. He’s exhausted and is probably going to be vegging out all weekend and not doing a thing. I’m hoping to try to get some fall cleaning done and maybe get caught up on card making.

I don’t usually CASE cards. I see elements of cards that I like and I’ll work it into my card. My team leader Amy made this card last week and I fell in love with it. I did change a few things on it like DSP and I used cardstock where she used DSP, but it’s her card. Want to see a quick video on how I made this card? You can see it Here on my Instagram reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and Merriest Trees Dies all available starting Sept 6th. I also used the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a Very Vanilla card front using the new Distressed Tile 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a copper Clay mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Merriest Trees Dies, I cut Copper Clay and Very Vanilla tags and tag reinforcers. I embossed the Copper Clay tag using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the Very Vanilla tag reinforcer on the Copper Clay tag and the Copper Clay tag reinforcer on the Very Vanilla tag using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. I adhered the tags together using Stampin’ Seal, lining up the holes on the tags. I threaded a piece of 3/8″ Copper Clay Textured Ribbon through the holes and tied a knot.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the image with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the image using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. I adhered the cut image to the tags using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the leaf die using the Fruitful Blessings Dies from the panel of Coper Clay. I adhered the leaves under the floral image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tags to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the new Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the floral image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Copper 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front and flap.

  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.

New Designer Series Paper as part of the Online Exclusive Products

Free Gift from Me – A Sample with my Designer Series Paper Shares Below

Surprise, surprise! We’re offering a special release of five beautiful new Designer Series Paper options! These papers include fabulous holiday prints, gorgeous seasonal styles, and some spectacular timeless designs. 

We originally created these papers to be part of our second Sale-A-Bration offering. However, since our next release of new Online Exclusive products won’t happen until November (and you won’t be able to find any of these papers in a catalog), we’ve adjusted our strategy and decided to release these paper options starting 6 September! That way, you have the chance to get ahead on Christmas cards, seasonal crafts, and much more. These products are available while supplies last—you don’t want to miss out! 

Sales Period: Starting 6 September

  • The special release paper options will be available in the Online Exclusives category in the online store.
  • Products will only be available while supplies last. Once products run out, they will no longer be visible in the online store.

Here’s a video showing more about the paper.

Final DAYS to Sign up for my September-December 2023 Mini Catalog Paper Shares

Do you want all of the gorgeous new designer papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2023 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2023 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Annual Catalog, it would cost you over $170.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $30.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2023 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on September 6th 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 September 11th.

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!

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

New Designer Series Paper Share – $30.00 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):

  • A Walk In The Forest – 6
  • All About Autumn 6″ X 6″ – 12
  • Beary Christmas – 6
  • Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil Sheets – 2
  • Garden Walk 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Glow-In-The Dark 6″ X 6″ Specialty Paper – 1

  • O Holy Night – 6
  • Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper – 2

  • Snowflake Magic Specialty Paper – 3
  • Them Bones – 6
  • Winter Meadow – 6

In all, you’ll receive 80 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $60 + $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.

Extra Gift from Me With Your Order of the Paper Share

Stampin’ Up! just told us about some new Designer Series Paper that will be available starting September 6th as an Online Exclusive. As an extra gift from me for being part of my paper share, I am going to add a sample of 1 or maybe even 2 of the new Designer Series Paper. If you’ve already ordered your share you’ll get this with it.

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

Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends 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 beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Mary’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Fall Frenzy”. We can interpret this however we want. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Friendship 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today. The Fruitful Blessings Bundle and All About Autumn DSP will both be available starting September 6.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Friendship 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Wild Wheat mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Copper Clay mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Wild Wheat, I stamped the leaves and acorn images from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink randomly around panel.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Friendship 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to the matted card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Copper Clay Textured Ribbon around panel and secured it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the multi-layered panel to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Mossy Meadow, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Friendship 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf/acorn image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Copper Clay, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. From a panel of Mossy Meadow, I cut the leaf die from the Fruitful Blessings Dies twice. I adhered the leaf/acorn image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaf dies to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Friendship 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf/acorn image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sentiment. I colored the image the same as I did for the card front using the Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the All About Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Friendship 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf/acorn image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as for the card. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Friendship 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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:
