Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Nest

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? I stayed in all weekend trying to get better. Whatever this is, it’s running me down something fierce.

I have a fairly quick card for you today. Friends of my husband just found out they were having a baby boy, so I thought I’d make a quick card for them. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details Nest 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set and Sale-a-bration Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details Nest 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Blueberry Bushel card front using the Softly Sophisticated EF. I cut a panel of Balmy Blue using the largest circle from the Everyday Details Dies. I adhered the circle to the card front using Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the nest image from the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink. I colored the eggs using Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the leaves using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using Paper Snips. I adhered the nest inside the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details Nest 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details Nest 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, then over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base.

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Were you able to join us for our World Card Making Day presentations yesterday? How about the Stampin’ Up! event? I was glued to my computer all day yesterday.

Today’s card I made on our Facebook Live event yesterday. 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Bundle which will be available to customers starting in November. I used the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, which will be available in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. Lastly, I used the Stampin; Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Bee Mine DSP to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Fluffiest Friends Dies, I cut the hive from the center of another panel of Bee Mine DSP. I adhered pieces of the Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back of the die cut DSP. Using the Fluffiest Friends Dies I cut the beehive from a panel of Daffodil Delight, the leaves & grass from a panel of Granny Apple Green and the branch from a panel of Pecan Pie.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the larger panel of Basic White, I stamped the bee image from the Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the bees using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers and Clear Wink Of Stella on the wings. On the smaller panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the bear image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set. I colored the bear using Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Ivory and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Fluffiest Friends Dies.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut grass to the inside of the die cut hive panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the beehive and leaves to the tree branch using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel (with the bees stamped on it) to the center of the card front. I adhered the die cut DSP panel on top of the Basic White panel. I adhered the bear inside the hive, behind the grass using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the branch to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set on a strip of Basic White in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I cut the ends on an angle. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bee image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the bees using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers and Clear Wink of Stella for the wings. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends WCMD 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bear & bee images from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images the same as I did for the card. I adhreed a panel of Bee Mine DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic Thank You

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going as planned. I’m hoping to get all my kits cut up today and ready for my class on Tuesday. We will see how the day goes.

I have a quick monochromatic card for you today. I LOVE using colors on my cards, but I also like a monochromatic one every once in a while. I went out of my comfort zone with today’s card using a shade of yellow. Want to see a quick video of how I made this card? You can see it Here on my Instagram reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Wild Wheat card front using the Distressed Tile EF (available Sept 6). I adhered the embossed panel to a Wild Wheat card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Very Vanilla using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the leaf die using the Gorgeously Made Dies from a panel of 2023-2025 In-Color Luster Paper. I adhered the die cut piece to the cut & embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Cling Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Wild Wheat Jute trim from the 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim pack. I adhered the bow to the stem of the leaf using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the script image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink over the script image once in full strength ink and once stamped off on scrap paper. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink over the script image, full strength ink and stamped off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front and flap.

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

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.

New Designer Series Paper as part of the Online Exclusive Products

Free Gift from Me – A Sample with my Designer Series Paper Shares Below

Surprise, surprise! We’re offering a special release of five beautiful new Designer Series Paper options! These papers include fabulous holiday prints, gorgeous seasonal styles, and some spectacular timeless designs. 

We originally created these papers to be part of our second Sale-A-Bration offering. However, since our next release of new Online Exclusive products won’t happen until November (and you won’t be able to find any of these papers in a catalog), we’ve adjusted our strategy and decided to release these paper options starting 6 September! That way, you have the chance to get ahead on Christmas cards, seasonal crafts, and much more. These products are available while supplies last—you don’t want to miss out! 

Sales Period: Starting 6 September

  • The special release paper options will be available in the Online Exclusives category in the online store.
  • Products will only be available while supplies last. Once products run out, they will no longer be visible in the online store.

Here’s a video showing more about the paper.

Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are getting ready for the weekend. It’s going to be a rainy day here, which might mean great day for card making if I don’t get myself involved with too many other things.

My card today just has an extra fold on it, not really a fun fold. This wasn’t what I was planning on making for my live on Wednesday. I wasn’t able to go live since I got myself so involved cutting my neighbors hedges that they haven’t trimmed back in years and were over growing in my yard. By the time I was done it was just about 4 and I was covered in twigs and leaves. I’ll be back next Wednesday at 4pm ET on my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today. If you want to see a super quick video of how I mad it, you can see it here on my Instagram page.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye Vies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Deckled Circles Dies (both available September 6) for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Distressed Gold mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Copper Clay card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Very Vanilla using the 8th from the largest Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bottom of the circle in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on top of the books. I stamped the eye glass image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bird in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the image using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I scored and folded the circle on the right side at 1/2″.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the folded edge of the circle, I adhered the artwork behind the card front. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using Copper Clay, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the All About Autumn DSP to the top of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Books 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the books, bird and eye glass images from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card using the Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

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 NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $30.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of The Deep for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? We’re at the Last weekend of July which means just about the end of Bonus Days.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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 link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of The Deep Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Deckled Rectangle Dies, All That Dies, Online Exclusives Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by folding the large card base in half on the 5″ score line. I then folded the smaller inner panel on the 1/2″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″ & 3 1/2″ score lines making them all mountain folds. I added Tear & Tape on the 1/2″ section. Laying the card flat, I folded the scored section on the 1 1/2″ score line (tear & tape facing up) and folded the right side over adhering it together. I added Tear & Tape between the 2 1/2″ & 3 1/2″ score lines. I laid the inside panel butted up against the large card base score line, so the Tear & Tape was facing up and the longer part was flat on the back of the card base. I folded the front of the card base down onto the panel to adhere them together.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a Lost Lagoon card front using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the card front through the center panel twice and tied a small bow in the front. Using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. I stamped the splatter image from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of The Deep Cling Stamp Set in Soft Sea Foam Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the DSP to look like tiny bubbles.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the coral image from the Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I stamped the seaweed image from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink 3 times & the anchor image in Pebbled path Ink. I stamped the 2 fish images from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and Blueberry Bushel Ink. I cut all the images out using the Beauty of The Deep Dies. Using the Beauty of The Deep Dies again, I cut 2 of the taller seaweed dies from a panel of Moody Mauve and 3 of the small coral dies from a panel of Petal Pink.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut pieces to the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Lost lagoon Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the oval die from the All That Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Three Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from Happy Labels stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the coral image from the Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the seaweed image from Beauty of the Deep stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink next to the coral and the angle fish image in Tuxedo Black Ink above the coral. I stamped the tiny splatter image from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, by the fish. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside panel using Stampin’ Seal. I cut a strip of Hello Irresistible DSP using the side of the Deckled Rectangle Die to cut the edge of the paper like the card front panel. I adhered the strip to the edge of the inside panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 8 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside back, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the anchor image from the Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the coral image from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink and the seaweed image in Pretty Peacock Ink. I stamped the fish image from Beauty of The Deep in Blueberry Bushel Ink next to the coral. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside back of the card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 2 panels of Hello Irresistible DSP to the column using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of The Deep Fun Fold 9 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the coral, seaweed, anchor and 2 fish images from Beauty of The Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral, Pretty Peacock, Pebbled Path, Tuxedo Black and Blueberry Bushel Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! 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 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. 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 – 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! Bird’s Eye View Hello

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope there are some fun plans for you in the works. I’ll be working all day today, but I have off tomorrow. I picked up some plants yesterday and I’m hoping to get them in their flowerpots today after work. I bought a bunch of herbs, and my daughter wanted a jalapeño pepper plant and of course I had to buy some Gerber Daisies to put in some of my flowerpots around my patio. I put the herbs in flowerpots around all my tomato plants to help keep the critters away. My tomato plants have little tomatoes on them already. If we ever get rain here and then a nice hot day, these plants are going to take off.

Today I have a clean and simple card for you using just stamps, ink and paper. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye Vies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Basic Whtie Mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on top of the books. I stamped the glasses image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the bird image. I colored the images using Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on top of the panel. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bird image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the glasses image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bird in Wild Wheat Ink. I colored the bird with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image with Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wheat and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Patchwork

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend and Memorial Day? It was a gorgeous weekend and Memorial Day here. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. Perfect day to be outside for a picnic and for the bike races, although it was a bit breezy.

Those that know me know that I like layers on my cards. I have a lot of trouble doing simple 1 layer cards. Today’s card is no different, there’s a lot of layers. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Photopolymer Stamp Set, Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Basics 3 D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom of a panel of Basic White. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Night of Navy mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut 9 of the smallest squares from panels of Countryside Inn DSP. I adhered the die cut squares to a panel of Basic White using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the patchwork panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to a Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered card front to a Boho Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small flower image from the Petal Park stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Petal Park stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Happy Labels Patchwork7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtle CAS Thank You

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans for the weekend. I’ll be working all day today, but I do have off tomorrow.

My special end on Tuesday May 9th at 11:59pm.

I have a quick card today using one of the new 2023-2025 In-Colors. The stamp set I used is a Reversable Set where you stamp one image then turn the stamp over and stamp another. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtle Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to a Copper Clay mat using Stampin’ Sea. I adhered the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set. I stamped the detailed turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Copper Clay Ink. I flipped the stamp over and stamped the solid turtle image in Copper Clay Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I fussy cut the turtle using my Paper Snips. I adhered the turtle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the same panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Copper Clay Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin' Up! Sea Turtle CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set on the envelope front. I stamped the detail image full strength Copper Clay Ink and the solid image with Copper Clay Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.
