Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello

Posted on October 8, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are all planning something fun. We’re actually getting autumn weather here. I’ve started to see the leaves turning which I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen since summer didn’t want to leave us and it was so dry. I’ll be at work all day today, but have tomorrow off, YAY!!!

Today’s card is one that I on World Card Making Day last Saturday. This is one of the designs from Stampin’ Up!’s event and I added my own little twist. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using my Water Painters and added Old Olive Ink to the 2 panels of Shimmer White cardstock. Using my Water Painter again, I added Flirty Flamingo Ink to the smaller panel of Shimmer White. I set them aside to dry. On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set 5 times in a circle in Old Olive Ink.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stamped Basic White panel to the card bae using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Country Wreaths Dies, I cut the 2 detailed wreaths from the panels of Shimmer White paper. I cut the detailed bow from the small panel of Shimmer White paper. I adhered the detailed wreaths together using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered wreaths to the stamped Basic White panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the bow using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set on a strip of Basic White cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the end on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the wreath and bow.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the wreath image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink in the center of the wreath. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Old Olive Ink around the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Thank You with Video Tutorial

Posted on August 12, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I had a bit of an exciting week starting off Monday. You’ll see below. Has anyone made any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and Sunday again.

So, before I get started with my card, last week I missed my live because we went to meet a puppy. It’s been a really sad house here since my Jasmine puppy passed. Unfortunately, the puppy was listed as a female lab/border collie mix and that was wrong. I was going to just wait until spring and this little cutie came to me. Meet Coraline. She’s a 10-week-old mix breed. I just ordered a DNA kit to find out what she is. She was listed as a lab/border collie mix, I think there might be more. I’ll let you know once I find out. She is such a good girl already. I’ve got her house broken, sleeping through the night and walking on a leash. She knows the sit command and touch already. She knows where my card making table is and runs ahead of me down the stairs to curl up while I make my cards.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Cling Stamp Set and the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by coloring a panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP using my Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to a Real Red mat and then to a Basic White Thick card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment, the apple, the cat and the butterfly images from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Real Red and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using my Full Basket Dies.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the largest tag die from the Designer Tags Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut one end of the tag off using my Paper Snips and embossed the tag using the Gingham Embossing Folder. Using my Full Basket Dies, I cut the detailed basket from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, the basket bands from Soft Suede cardstock, the leaves from Granny Apple Green Cardstock, the handle from Smoky Slate cardstock and the solid basket, napkin and apples from Real Red cardstock. I adhered the solid red basket behind the detailed basket using Stampin’ Dimensionals and trimmed the excess using my Paper Snips. I adhered the colored apples to the basket using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back of the basket. I adhered the basket to the embossed tag. I threaded a piece of Real Red ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack through the tag and tied it off. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the cat next to the basket using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the butterfly to the top of the tag and the extra apples to the bottom of the card front. I cut the sentiment using my Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

This next part is much easier to understand if you watch the video or my Instagram Reel. On the I folded the 5 1/8″ x 5 1/4″ panel of Real Red cardstock on the 1″ & 2″ score lines. I folded the 5 3/8″ X 5 1/4″ panel of Real Red cardstock on the 3 1/8″ score line. I adhered the 1″fold to the back of the 3 1/8″ fold using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the folded panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a colored panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP to the right inside of the card base. On a 2 3/8″ x 5 1/8″ panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the small apple branch from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Granny Apple Green, Real Red and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to the center of the inner liner. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large apple branch image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Real Red and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips (the dies for this stamp set will be available Sept 1st). I adhered the cut image to the center panel so that it would overhang. On the 3″ X 5 1/8″ panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment and the small flower image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flower using my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to the left side of the inner liner.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the apple image from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a colored panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Special Moments CAS

Posted on January 26, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend and the end of the month.

I have a CAS card for you today using Sale-a-bration items. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both these items are Sale-a-bration items and can be earned free with a qualifying order.

My design is from The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #575.

I started by embossing a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of the Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I adhered a strip of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP on the envelope front and a panel on 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! Daffodil Daydream Anniversary

Posted on January 15, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Can you believe it’s the middle of the month already? January usually drags for me, but it seems to be flying by. Does anyone have plans? Other than working my only plan is to try to stay warm, it’s supposed to be a cold one here.

Today’s card we made at our team lounge this past Tuesday. My upline Jaimie has a small meeting and then we do some mystery stamping. I really do enjoy it, even if she makes me go out of my comfort zone. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Bundle along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Global Design Project Color Challenge #325.

I started by embossing a Pool Party card front using the Gingham Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the butterfly and 2 daffodil images from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using my Daffodil Dies. I colored the images using my Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to a Very Vanilla mat and then to the card front on an angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the daffodil and butterfly images to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a bow with my Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it next to the daffodils using a Glue Dot. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it out using my Harvest Dies. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon and daffodils using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the butterfly and smaller daffodil images from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I colored the images in using my Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pool Party mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the single daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Pale Papaya and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP 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! Queen Anne’s Lace Thank You

Posted on January 2, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Hope you are enjoying your long weekend. For me, it’s the beginning of the month which means I have to go into work to do the bills. Not sure if I’m going to have to work at the register in between or not. We’re having a bit of a Covid outbreak in the store this past week, so I’ve been scrambling to get all the time filled in so that we have all the cashiers we need.

Today I have a mix of old and new for my card. I used a set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog and an Embossing Folder from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Queen Anne’s Lace Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the new Gingham Embossing Folder (available January 4, 2022), for my card today.

I started by stamping the stem image from the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on a Basic White card front. I stamped the floral image from the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the stem. I stamped the sentiment from the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink next to the floral image.

I adhered the card front to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to a Basic White mat. I wrapped a piece of the new Petal Pink 1/8″ Cotton Ribbon from the Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack (available January 4, 2022) and tied a bow.

I embossed a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the new Gingham Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the floral image from the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set on the side of the panel the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I embossed a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the Gingham Embossing Folder and adhered it 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!!
