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

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.

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! Embraced With Love Tag

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. We are having such a great time here in GA at our retreat. There’s been a lot of laughing going on along with a lot of eating. I don’t normally eat 3 meals a day, but we are all sitting down to all 3 meals. Yesterday we had a delicious blueberry French toast bake with hash browns and bacon. We had Thai pork lettuce wraps, chicken egg rolls and salt & pepper tofu for lunch and dinner we had an amazing cranberry-Dijon roast pork with mashed potatoes, seasoned asparagus and squash au gratin. Our night ended with a banana pudding desert. I’ve gotten lots of cards made that I’ll share in the next couple weeks.

I have a gift tag for you today. I made these tags to go onto little goodie bags I made all the ladies for this weekend. Here’s my tag.

Stampin' Up! Embraced With Love Tag 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Embraced With Love Cling Stamp Set along with the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Greetings of The Season Dies for my tag today.

Stampin' Up! Embraced With Love Tag 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the image from Embraced With Love stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Cut the image out using the largest tag from the Greetings of the Season Dies. Color the quilt using Blackberry Bliss, Boho Blue, Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the sentiment from Embraced With Love stamp set in Versamark Ink on the top of the panel. Sprinkle it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Add a Neutral Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the tag.

Stampin' Up! Embraced With Love Tag 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut a panel of Copper Clay using the largest tag from the Greetings of the Season Dies. Emboss the die cut tag using the Cute Crochet EF. Adhere the 2 tags together using a Glue Dot. Thread a piece of 2023 – 2025 In-Color Jute Trim through the 2 holes and tie a bow.

Stampin' Up! Embraced With Love Tag 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the tag to a goodie bag using a piece of Tear & Tape. I gave everyone a bag full of chocolates, because we all love our chocolate, along with a hand cream since out hands dry out so much creating with paper.

Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? I’ve been MIA for the last couple days. We got home from vacation around 1am on Wednesday morning. Unfortunately, I came home with a sinus infection. Between that, jet lag and having to get right back to working, I was wiped out. I’m hoping to feel more like myself in the next couple days.

I just love playing with the stamp sets that come with stencils. I love the way the shading looks using the same color ink and being able to color so quickly. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus Sneak Peek

Good Sunday afternoon stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I’m running here, there and everywhere trying to get everything together for vacation. I’m always amazed how I think I have everything I need, they I read the restrictions on what size containers you can fly with and it’s off to writing a quick list and running to the store again. Today I’m sending my husband so I can get things done around the house and attend my monthly meeting this afternoon.

I played with a new Online Exclusive bundle coming November 5th. As soon as I saw this one, I just knew I had to have it.  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! Happy Hibiscus Tag 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Bundle for my card today along with the Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Dies and Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. When I took my dog for a walk this morning, on the way back up my driveway I saw that my Hibiscus flowers are still blooming and that was my inspiration to make this card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #657

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #448. The colors sound like some yummy desserts to me.

Adhere a panel of Neutrals DSP on an angle across the top of the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. trim off excess using the Paper Trimmer.

Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Tag Card

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ve got less than 3 weeks before I leave on a family vacation. I am so looking forward to the vacation and going away with my family.

Who out there likes Hot Apple Cider and Apple Cider Donuts? I always look forward to going apple picking in the fall not only for the fresh apples, but to get some apple cider donuts at the end. Anyone who knows me, knows I do not like donuts, and they don’t like me. There’s something about apple cider donuts that I love, and they like me too. Today’s card really got me in the mood for those donuts. This bundle from the mini catalog caught my eye the day I got to view the catalog and was the first one on my list to get. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stamp the center of the cup image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a scrap of Basic Beige.

Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope everyone is getting ready for the weekend and starting to make plans.

Before I get started on my card today, I wanted to share a picture I took the other day. 2 years ago, yesterday I brought home this sassy little girl, and she just brightens up every day for me. In April we rescued Gidget, Cora’s little sister, who will be 6 months old on Monday, and they are inseparable. The best decision we could have made.

Today’s card is made with all Online Exclusive products again. It’s a super quick fun fold that you can make multiple of for all your Christmas cards. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Bundle along with the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Fold card base in half on the 5 1/2″ score line. Fold the card base back on the 4 1/4″ score line. Adhere the card base together using Liquid Glue on the inside on the 1 1/4″ section.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere 2 panels of Season of Green & Gold DSP to Pecan Pie mats sing Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panels to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment and a panel of Garden Green using the Greetings of the Season Dies. Add a Glue Dot to hold the die cut tags together, line up the holes and thread a piece of Gold 1/8″ Trim through and tie a bow. Adhere the layered tags to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Adhere 2 strips of Season of Green & Gold DSP to either side of the panel. Adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Greetings of The Season for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are starting to make some plans for the weekend. I’ll be working all day tomorrow, but we’re closing the store early for all the employees to go to a baseball game. We’ve been doing this every year for the past few years and it’s always a lot of fun. This year they got us upper boxes to watch the game and fireworks, and they will be bringing the food to us.

Today’s card I played with Online Exclusive products. This DSP that goes with the bundles is gorgeous. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives Greetings of the Season Bundle, Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Golden Greenery Bundle, Season of Green & Gold DSP and Graceful Greenery Vellum paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Season of Green & Gold DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhered the layered panel to the front of a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the solid sprig image from the Golden Greenery stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on top of the outlined image. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the outline sprig image from the Golden Greenery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Snapdragons Thank You

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through this HOT week and on our way to the weekend. It’s supposed to cool down here in NJ on Friday to the 80’s and then right back up to the upper 90’s next week. Hoe is it where you all live?

I have a quick card for you today playing with a new bundle that I just received. I did the Marker to Stamp technique for today’s card. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Snapdragons Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set, 2024-2026 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to a Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Petunia Pop card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the medium snapdragon image from the Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Snapdragons Cling Stamp Set. I inked up the stamp using Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Write Markers. I gave it a little huff and stamped the image on the panel of Basic White. I cut the image out using the Greetings of the Season Dies. I stamped the splatter image from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the image. I threaded Black Baker’s Twine through the tag hole and tied a bow. I adhered the die cut panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the 2 dragonfly images from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the images out using the Inspiring Snapdragons Dies. I adhered the dragonflies to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Petunia Pop, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gem to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the splatter image from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the 2 dragonfly images from Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink by the sentiment. I adhered a strip of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Petunia Pop card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Snapdragons 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium snapdragon image from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set on the envelope front, inking it up the same way I did for the card. I stamped the splatter image from Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the image. I stamped the dragonfly images from the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans do you have for the weekend? I’ll be working all day today and after work one of my cashiers invited all the employees to her house for a company picnic.

I have a quick and easy card for you today using a suite from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and new dies coming July 3rd from the Online Exclusives. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and the new Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Dies, that will be available starting July 3rd, for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to a Calypso Coral card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Calypso Coral using the largest die from the Greetings of the Season Dies. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the tag. I tied a small bow using White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack on the top of the tag. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dots to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Peach Pie Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel of Basic White to a Peach Pie mat then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Flowers of Beauty Tag 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.
