Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Birthday Fun Fold

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend already. This month is flying by quickly.

Today’s card I have a sneak peek for you of a bundle coming in the September – December 2023 Mini Catalog. We had our team stamping studio last night and did some mystery stamping at the end. This is what I came up with from Jaimie’s directions.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle which will be available starting in September from the Mini Catalog along with the Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my tissue box card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring the 2 – 4 1/4″ X 5″ panels of Pretty Peacock cardstock along the 5″ side every inch. Using Tear & Tape, I adhered the ends together making 2 boxes. I adhered the 2 boxes together using Tear & Tape just on the ends of the boxes. I adhered the 4 pieces of Glorious Gingham DSP on the 2 sides and top of the boxes.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the larger flower from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I stamped the sprig image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink 3 times and the leaf image 2 times in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut all the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies along with the stem die from a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I cut the largest circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the circle twice. I adhered the stems using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers and leaves on the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs behind the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the flowers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tiny flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink in the corners. I adhered the sentiment to ta Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card base blocks using Glue Dots. I wrapped a piece of Bubble Bath 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack around the front box and tied a bow.

On the back, I cut out another one of the largest circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the circle. I stamped the larger floral image in Bubble Bath Ink and the sprig image in Lemon Lolly Ink. I adhered the circle to the front circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and inserted it between the 2 boxes using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and floral images from the Translucent Florals stamp set on the envelope front in Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Inks. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham 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.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies in Purples

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already. Time is just flying by. Yesterday they came to start the process of refinishing 2 of my bedroom floors. It was VERY loud. My poor Coraline was traumatized with all the noise. I’ve never seen her in hiding ALL DAY like that. At one point I was able to get her out from under my chair and I picked her up. She was shaking and trembling so bad I wanted to cry. Once I was able to pry her out of my arms, I took her outside for a walk. When we got home, I couldn’t get her back into the house she was so scared. I did finally get her in and she went back into hiding. Once my husband got home her was able to get her outside again, but she wouldn’t play, she just went to hide under a bush. I ran to the store and when I got home an hour later, he was still outside with her, he couldn’t get her in. Once we did, she was at my feet all night. I’m hoping today will be a little better when the guys get here. At least there won’t be much noise.

Today’s card I played with a sketch my upline gave us. Jaimie is giving us a sketch each week to play with. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies in Purple 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Bundle, the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper along with Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Rectangle Dies and Banner Pick A Punch for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I played along with the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #414. I was inspired by the purple African Daisies in the photo.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies in Purple 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to a Lemon Lime Twist card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I randomly stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on the side of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Exposed Brich 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies in Purple 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the medium outline daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Moody Mauve Inks. I stamped the medium solid daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in the same colors, stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut all the daisies out using the Cheerful Daisies Dies. I arranged the daisies on the side of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies in Purple 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink. I cut the ends of the strip using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots Assortment to the flower centers.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies in Purple 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the stem. I stamped the daisy center in Daffodil Delight Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the inside of the Lemon Lime Twist card base.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies in Purple 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem and leaves from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the medium daisy images from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather Ink on the stems. I stamped the daisy centers in Daffodil Delight Ink. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to the envelope flap.
