Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
12

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #222 is Christmas Gathering. I used lots of layered on my card, since that is one of my favorite kinds of cards to make. 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.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Bundle along with the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the colors along with the snowflake in the photo for my clean and layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 222.  How are you inspired by the photos?

My design for today’s card was from As You See It Challenge #362

Adhere the 2 panels of Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to coordinating Cherry Cobbler mats. Adhere the 2 layered panels to the card front. Using the Delicate Pines Dies, cut 3 of the large pine boughs from a panel of Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper and cut the medium snowflake from a panel of Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP. Adhere the 3 large pine boughs together. Adhere the die cut snowflake on top of the pine boughs. Adhere the die cut panel to the panel of Cherry Cobbler, off centering it. Adhere the layered panel to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Sunflower for Fun Fold Friday.

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week. Amy and I arrived in GA yesterday for our retreat. We headed to Mary’s and then drove with Mary and Janet up to the cabin. The fun started immediately when everyone started to arrive. It was so exciting seeing everyone again. Once we all got unpacked, we set up our stations in the craft room. Everyone was passing out their little gifts to each other and the chatting and laughing began. Before we knew it, it was time for a delicious dinner of Beef Lasagna, Roasted Broccoli, Lemon-Garlic Grilled Zucchini, Honey-Garlic-Siracha Cauliflower and of course Garlic Bread. We had an amazing Creme Brulé for dessert. We sat around the table for a few hours after dinner and laughed till our sides were aching.

I have a quick fun fold card for you today focusing mainly on the embossing folder. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn Sunflower 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Cling Stamp Set along with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper and Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn Sunflower 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss 2 panels of the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper using the Sunflower EF. Adhere the embossed panels to the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn Sunflower 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Wrap a Basic Beige belly band around the card and adhere the ends in the front. Wrap a piece of Old Olive Linen Thread around the belly band 3 times and tie a bow. Stamp the sentiment on a panel of Basic Beige in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Bronze Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch, cut a panel of the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Adhere the sentiment to the Metallic mat then to the belly band. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems to the card front.

Adhere the Basic Beige panel to an Earthen Toned Metallic mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

New Feature When Ordering from Stampin’ Up! and Triple Referral Rewards from Me

Posted on by
Reply

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. Happy Star Wars Day!! Who’s a big Star Wars fan out there? I still haven’t seen all the movies, I catch bits and pieces here and there when someone is watching them in my home, but I’ve never sat and watched the whole movie.

I wanted to share a new feature that’s in effect when you place an order in my Online Store.

Get Notified When Products Are Back in Stock!


Stampin’ Up! has been asked many times “Can I get notified when an unavailable item comes back in stock?” I’m excited to tell you that you will now be able to do just that! 

If a product is currently unavailable, a box will appear above the product detail where you can request an email notification when/if the product returns. This feature will be available to customers, and guests. If you are logged in as a customer, your email address will automatically populate, with the option to edit it if needed. Guests will need to enter their email address manually. 
After your preferred email address is entered, check the box to agree to receive the notification email, then click Notify Me. You will then receive a confirmation email that includes the item number and name of the product you signed up to be notified about. If you change your mind, you can click the unsubscribe button in the confirmation email and it will unsubscribe you only from that specific product notification.
When/if the product becomes available, you will receive a single email notifying you it’s back in stock. The email will include the item number, name, and an image of the product. If the product sells out again, you will need to sign up again to be notified when/if it returns.
We hope this new feature makes shopping even more convenient for you! 

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

Triple Creative Stamping Designs Rewards When You Refer a friend to Me

Do you have any friends or family that are interested in card making or scrap booking? Maybe they are new to stamping and want to try the new Kits we have. When you refer a friend to me and they place their first order of $50 you receive 1 of my Creative Stamping Designs Rewards. Starting today, May 4th – Saturday May 10th I’m going to give you 3 of my Creative Stamping Designs Rewards when you refer someone to me and they place an order of $50 or more. With the new Catalog and new Online Exclusives starting on Tuesday and all the new beautiful paper, card making, scrap booking, kits and paper crafting supplies, there’s lots for them to order.

When you refer someone to me, send me an email at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com with their name. When they place their 1st order and they tell me you referred them, I will add 3 rewards to your total rewards.

My triple rewards are for referring a friend only, not placing orders.

Latest on Cloud Cover Ink Pad

Stampin’ Up! let us know the issue with our Cloud Cover ink is complex. An unforeseen, rare chemical reaction occurs when the ink is paired with the firm foam used in our Classic Stampin’ Pads, resulting in a shift in the color of the ink.
While there’s no silver lining to reverse the chemistry causing the fluctuation in color, we have identified several ways to make the most of the situation.

Alternative Options:

  • Because the actual Cloud Cover ink formula performs well before it’s added to a foam pad, all is not lost for customers who want to get in on the inky action. Our Stampin’ Spots are made using felt, and we haven’t seen this unpredictable chemical response occur with this material.
  • At the time the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog is available to order, we will offer the Stampin’ Spot Assortment Pack (166716), which will include the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot! This product will be available to customers and demonstrators.
  • The Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot won’t be sold outside of the assortment pack, but you can pair the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (165279) with the Uninked Stampin’ Spots (141822) to achieve a consistently accurate hue. Plus, the ink refill is a very technique-friendly product in general, making it a great core supply to have on hand!
  • While these solutions don’t provide a full-sized ink pad option, they do give access to the ink.
  • You can also ink your stamps using the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Write Marker, available in the
    2025–2027 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers (165292) collection. This technique works especially well with cling stamps.

Designer Series Paper Online Zoom Class Sunday May 18th

Tara Carpenter and I are super excited about offering you this Free Online Zoom Class

Do you struggle with different ways to use all your Designer Series Paper? Tara and I are teaming up for a Zoom class to show you 6 different cards using just Designer Series Paper and a Sentiment. Of course, we’ll add embellishments and maybe ribbon or twine, but this class will primarily be using DSP. We have picked a pack of DSP with all the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and that’s what we will be focusing on. You can see the DSP starting on page 40 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. The class will be held on Sunday May 18th from 1pm-5pm ET. The best part is you can earn this class absolutely FREE. You will cut all the cardstock and DSP of your choice prior to the class so you are ready to go. We will NOT be cutting up cardstock or DSP the day of the event. You will choose the color cardstock and your favorite DSP to use from what you purchase. Please remember to order early so that you receive it on time to prep for the class.

The class requirements:

  • Visit my Online Store on or after May 6th and purchase 1 pack of Florals in Bloom 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (165175), 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Cardstock Assortment Pack (165623) and 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls (165192)

Once you sign up you will receive:

  • Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
  • PDF with detailed directions and photos
  • A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

When you Sign Up for the class, I will send you the complete PDF the week before the class so that you can cut up the color cardstock of your choice and the Designer Series Paper of your choice. Everyone’s card will be unique since you will pick your favorite designs of DSP and color cardstock.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: This class is FREE to customers who make the purchase through my Online Store.

If you are a Demonstrator and would like to attend the class and get the PDF, there will be a $20 charge that will be billed through PayPal. I know you would like to purchase the products yourself getting your discount but still would like to attend.

Class Sign up Deadline: Sunday May 11th at 5pm ET

Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest for The Card Concepts

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #213 is Winter Solace. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Frosted Forest Bundle for my clean and layered card. I was inspired by the sparkly trees and the deer in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 213.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Winter Meadow DSP to a Pebbled Path card base using Liquid Glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. Stamp the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink on the top of the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of White Glimmer Paper, cut the tree dies using the Frosted Forest Dies. Using Paper Snips, snip off 2 of the trees from the 3 tree die cut. Adhere the tree with the snow drift to the bottom of the card front. Adhere the 2 snipped trees to either side of the deer image on the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the tall tree to the right side of the card front. Add an Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gem to the card front by the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. Adhere 2 strips of the Winter Meadow DSP to either side of the Basic White panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Complete the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the smaller tree image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and flap, some in full strength ink and some stamped off once. Stamp the bird image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink by the trees.

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

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! Peaceful Seasons for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
4

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ll be starting my baking on Thursday early morning and continue until I’m done, hopefully by Saturday. This year for the first time in quite a few years, my daughter will be able to bake with me. In the past she’s always had finals and would be studying, or when she was in high school, she would have a fencing event. I’m looking forward to having her by my side helping.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #212 is Christmas Wreath. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Season Bundle, which is a Last Chance item, along with the Nature’s Paintings Kit and the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Cling Stamp Set for my Clean & Layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 212.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut down the panel from the Nature’s Paintings Kit to a 4″ X 5 1/2″ panel. Color the image using the Watercolor Pencils that come in the kit. Use the Water Painter that comes in the kit to blend the color and spread it around.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Cherry Cobbler, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the Peaceful Season Dies.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thread a piece of Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ Satin Ribbon through the die cut sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the ribbon to the back of the Nature’s Paintings panel using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the card front panel to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful Season stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. Stamp the holly image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Garden Green Ink in the corners of the panel. Color the berries on the holly using the red watercolor pencil. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the holly image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front and flap. Color the berries on the image using the red watercolor pencil.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2024 – 2025 Annual Catalog, September – December 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

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

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.

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

My January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 7th 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 January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the January Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $130.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $38.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

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 Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6X6 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):

  • Beautiful Bokeh (6)
  • Floral Delight (6)
  • Floral Gingham Vellum (3)
  • Friends of the Ocean (6)
  • Storybook Moments (6)
  • Timeless Plaid (12)
  • Wildflower Birthday (5)
  • Everyday Skies (12) Online Exclusive
  • Mixed Media Florals (6) Online Exclusive
  • Pastel Ombre Glimmer (3) Online Exclusive

In all, you’ll receive 65 – 6” X 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $9.00 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″ X 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.

New Ribbon Share – $11.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon
  • Gold 1 1/2″ Open Weave Trim
  • Petal Pink 3/8″ Scalloped Ribbon
  • White 1/2″ Woven Ribbon Online Exclusive

Double Ribbon Share – $22.00 + $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon.

$32.00 for a single share + $9.00 shipping

$64.00 for a double share + $9.00 shipping.

As a Thank You for joining in with my Shares, I’ll be adding a sampling of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper. I’m not sure which ones you’ll be getting yet, but there are 3 different one’s that will be available. Which one(s) you get will be a surprise.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #210 is Pumpkin Season. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Rustic Crate Dies, Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin’ Up! Caring Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Deckled Circle Dies and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean & Layered card. I was inspired by the pumpkins in the photo along with the overall rustic feel of the photo, the colors and of course the gingham.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 210.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a Gray Granite card front using the Leaf Fall EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Gray Granite card base using Liquid Glue. From a panel of Basic Black, cut the Deckled Circle Die and from a panel of Basic White, cut the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White die cut circle. Color the image with Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the artwork circle to the Basic Black Deckled circle using Stampin’ Seal. Cut the crate using the Rustic Crate Dies from a panel of Country Woods DSP. Adhere the crate on top of the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Cut the sentiment from a panel of Gray Granite using the Rustic Crate Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the layered panel.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Marker, color a piece of Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon. Wrap the ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the artwork over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. Add a few Pumpkin Pie Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Caring Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the pumpkin image on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black. Color the image using Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Adhere a strip of Country Woods DSP to the envelope front. Stamp the pumpkin image from Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and color it the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.
