Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Father’s Day

Posted on May 2, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend. It was beautiful here, especially yesterday. I believe it was 78 and sunny most of the day. Now we’re back to rain and 50. Is anyone else watching the clock like I am? Less than 24 hours till the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog goes live, YAY!!!! I can’t wait. I’ve got my list all ready to go starting with my must haves right away, then my I want it now’s, followed by I’ll get it next week if I can wait that long and finally I want them, but I can wait a bit. I will be hitting that expedite button so I have my new goodies in a day or 2 so that I can get all the DSP cut up and shipped out to you ASAP.

Today’s card is one that we will be making at my monthly class tomorrow night. I thought I’d start the night off, and today’s post, with all the new 2022-2024 In-Colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Gentle Waves Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Happy & Heartfelt Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the water image from the Gentle Waves stamp set first in Tahitian Tide Ink. I moved the panel up a little and stamped it again in Starry Sky Ink. I adhered the stamped panel to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sailboat image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I colored the masts in Parakeet Party using my 2022-2024 In- Colors Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the sails images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet Inks. Using my Sailboat Builder Punch, I cut all the images out. Before punching them, I cut them apart using my Paper Snips to make it a little easier to punch. I adhered the sailboats to the stamped panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Starry Sky Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, below the boat image.

I adhered the Sweet Sorbet sails using Glue Dots and the Orchid Oasis sails using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the bird image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. On a small panel of Basic Whtie cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. I wrapped a piece of Starry Sky Baker’s Twine from the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack around the panel twice tying a knot on the back. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Parakeet Party 2022-2024 matte Decorative Dots to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the water image from the Gentle Waves stamp set in Tahitian Tide Ink. I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Starry Sky Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, below the boat. I stamped the birds’ image around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the water image from the Gentle Waves stamp set on the envelope front in Tahitian Tide Ink. I stamped the sailboat image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Orchid Oasis and Sahara Sand on the bottom of the envelope. I stamped the birds in Smoky Slated Ink. I adhered a panel of Sahara Sand Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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! Blessings of Home Mother’s Day

Posted on April 5, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far.

Today’s card has very little stamping and is focusing on designer series paper. We will be making this card tonight at my Stamp Camp card class and just like yesterday’s, everyone will be making the same card, but just a little different. I’ve cut all different DSP and cardstock colors for each of the ladies. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy & Heartfelt Cling Stamp Set and the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered 3 panels of Hand Penned DSP to 3 Highland Heather mats. I adhered the 2 larger layered panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the smaller panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the card front twice and tied a bow.

On a panel of Highland Heather cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I sponged the edges of the panel with Highland Heather Ink using my Sponge Dauber. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Bumblebee Trinkets to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Hand Penned DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat and then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Hand Penned DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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!!

I want to let you know about a change to Stampin’ Up!’s shipping and handling pricing. Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater.

If you ever use the expedited shipping options, those fees are going up a bit too. Here are the new fees for expedited shipping:

Next Day Upgrade: $38.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
2nd Day Upgrade: $23.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
3 Day Shipping Upgrade: $15.00 USD ($5.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
The expedited shipping option rates above are calculated in addition to the standard shipping rate (e.g., the next day shipping option would cost $7.95 USD or 11%—whichever is greater—plus $38.00 USD)

I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me. Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so they can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated paper crafting products that you love.

Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Coffee

Posted on January 29, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend and it’s a snowy one here. Last I heard we are supposed to get up to 12″ of snow today. I’ll be at work at least for part of the day. I walk to work, so I have no excuse of not being able to get the car our because the road isn’t plowed. If it gets as bad as they are saying, they will close the store early, especially if we run out of shovels and salt.

I played with a set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog today along with a Sale-a-bration item. I have gotten a lot of use from this set and just love playing with it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-bration for my card today.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Color Challenge #275.

My design is from Fusion Challenge Coffee Chalkboard. I got the theme of the photo, I missed the chalkboard part.

I started by adhering a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to a Basic Gray mat and then to a Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel of Smoky Slate cardstock to a Basic Gray mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Real Red cardstock I cut the sentiments out from the Love You More Than Dies. I adhered the long sentiment to the layered panel. I adhered the ‘coffee’ below the layered panel on the card front. I added 3 of the Basic Black Classic Matte Dots to the layered panel.

I cut the 3rd smallest Layering Circles Die from a panel of Basic White cardstock, stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and embossed it using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the coffee cup from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink on the Basic White panel and cut it out using my Love You More Than Dies. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the coffee cup to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! happy & Heartfelt Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a strip of the Simply Marbleous DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Simply Marbleous DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! Happy & Heartfelt Thank You for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on January 7, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work tomorrow, but I have off on Sunday, YAY!!!

I have another quick fun fold card for you today with a little twist using some new product. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Happy & Heartfelt Cling Stamp Set along with the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Pool Party card base at 3 1/4″ & 4 1/4″, this is a book fold card. I then cut 1″ off the right side of the card front. I adhered the 1″ scored left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a 7/8″ strip of Sweet Talk DSP to the adhered side of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of the Sweet Talk DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Pool Party Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the left side of the card base and tied a bow. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Pool Party Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a small strip of the Sweet Talk DSP to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a strip of Sweet Talk DSP to the right inside of the card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Sweet Talk DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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!!
