Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Birthday

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week again and this is the final week for the amazing joining special. All the details are below. If you’ve ever thought about joining, now is the time!!! Don’t wait until the last minute. Contact me and we can talk.

I have a super quick card for you today using a set that will be in the next January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Photopolymer Stamp Set along with Garden Walk 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Garden Walk DSP card front to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Garden Walk DSP, I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Hexagon 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.

From another panel of Garden Walk DSP, I cut another banner, the same one, using the Nested Essentials Dies. For this one, I cut it partially through from the banner end, I moved the die up to make it longer and cut the rest of the way through. I adhered the smaller banner to the longer banner using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the banners to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front. I tied a small bow using the 2023-2025 Jute Trim and adhered it to the banner using a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Garden Walk DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

These are out colors for this week.

I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the circle. I cut all the leaves and flowers out using the Bough Punch. You may have to cut the cardstock to get them in the punch properly. I adhered the leaves and flowers to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. trim off any excess with Paper Snips. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Calypso Coral 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and adhered it to the bottom of the circle using a Glue Dot. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are ready for the weekend. It’s still pretty warm here in NJ., but it is supposed to drop to the 80’s this weekend. I took off from the hardware store this weekend because it’s a big weekend for The Hungry Hound, the dog bakery I also work at. It’s the 20th anniversary and we are celebrating big with giveaways, cake for the dogs and their humans. It’s expected to be super busy there, so we all had to be available to work. The amount of baking and decorating that has gone on this past week has been unbelievable. This is bigger than Christmas.

I have a quick fun fold for you using a set I haven’t played with yet from the annual catalog. Would you like to see a quick video on how I made this card? Click Here for the link to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Textured Floral Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Bundle along with the Garden Walk 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

I joined in with the Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #207 Leaves.

Stampin' Up! Textured Floral Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding the Garden Green card base as listed below in the measurements. I adhered 3 panels of Garden Walk DSP to 3 Blackberry Bliss mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 1″ X 4″ layered panel to the bottom front of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 2 1/4″ X 5 1/4″ layered panel to the front of the small Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Textured Floral Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the small card base to the large card base using Tear & Tape. I adhered the 3″ X 4″ layered panel over the small card base back slipping it in between the card bases using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set in Poppy Parade Ink 2 times. I stamped the stem image from the Textured Floral stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink over the floral image lining up the stems with the flowers. I cut the image out using the Textured Florals Dies. From panels of Basic White, Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat I cut the foliage using the Textured Florals Dies.

Stampin' Up! Textured Floral Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I arranged the flowers and foliage on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Textured Floral stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a strip of Basic White. I cut the sentiment using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack. I adhered the bow with a Glue Dot to the bottom of the stems. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Textured Floral Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Textured Floral stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the floral image from the Textured Floral stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the stem image from Textured Floral stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink lining up the stems and flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Textured Floral Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Textured Floral stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Garden Walk DSP to the envelope flap.
