Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful one here in NJ. This past week was absolutely gorgeous. Monday morning, I shut my A/C and opened all the windows, and they have been open all week long. The humidity has been very low, the nights have been cool, and days have been in the 70’s. You can’t ask for anything better.

Today’s card is a really quick one letting the DSP do all the work for me. 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! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Bough Punch, Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Boho Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves on Thoughtful Journey 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. Stamp the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the sentiment. Punch the sentiment out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. Ahere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Boughs Punch, punch out some leaves and flowers from scraps of Thoughtful Journey DSP. Adhere the leaves and flowers under the sentiment using Liquid Glue. Add a few 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dots to the card front.

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the outline leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the solid leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the small flower image in Blackberry Bliss Ink full strength and stamping off once on scrap paper. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

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

Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I have to go into the office today for the end of the month paperwork. I’m hoping to get done quickly so I have the rest of the day to do what I want. Can you believe it’s the last day of June? I can’t. That means it’s also the last day to get the additional 10% off the Stamp & Dies Bundles.

Today’s card is another one that I made last Saturday at the Creativity Now event. This one was a lot of fun to make using the new suite that will be coming in September in the mini catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Bundle that will be available for purchase in September, along with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the center panel of the die cut from the card I made at the Creativity Now Event last Saturday. You can see that card Here. I placed the die cut panel on a panel of Basic White and using my Small Blending Brush I added Mossy Meadow Ink. I flipped the panel around and added more Mossy Meadow Ink using the Small Blending Brush. I wrapped a piece of the Natural Tones Linen Thread (available in September) around the panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Smoky Slate, I stamped the double bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using the Balmy Blue and Watercolor Pencil for the birds and Crushed Curry Watercolor Pencil for the berries I cut the image out using the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. I adhered the birds to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the linen thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Earthtone Shimmer Gems (available in September) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic White. I placed the die cut center panel on the top of the Basic White panel and added Mossy Meadow Ink using the Small Blending Brush. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Winterly Tree Tops Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the double bird image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Balmy Blue and Crushed Curry Watercolor Pencils. I used the center die cut panel again on the envelope flap and added Mossy Meadow Ink using the Small Blending Brush.

Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Wedding

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Yesterday I played catch up. I got laundry done, cards made, gardening started and had time for a couple walks and played with the puppy for a while. It was a warm one here yesterday and it’s supposed to be even warmer here today in NJ. I love the warmer weather.

Today I have one of the quickest wedding cards I’ve ever made. I played with some retiring products and Online Exclusives. The retiring products you only have until tomorrow night to grab them while you can. 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! Heartfelt Hexagon Wedding 1 creativestampinpgdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sweetly Scripted Cling Stamp Set and Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes (which will retire tomorrow) for my card today. The Heartfelt Hexagon set and punch will be carrying over to the new catalog, but tomorrow is the last day to get 10% off with the bundle price.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Wedding 2 creativestampinpgdesigns.com

I started by cutting one of the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards to make a card front. I wrapped a piece of the Very Vanilla and Gold 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon (retiring tomorrow) around the card front and tying a bow.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Wedding 3 creativestampinpgdesigns.com

I adhered the card front to a Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Wedding 4 creativestampinpgdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the frame and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Photopolymer Stam Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Wedding 5 creativestampinpgdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above the 1st sentiment. I stamped the small flourish on the top of the panel from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

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

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! Fragrant Forest Sympathy

Good Sunday morning stamping friends and Happy Sunday. It’s a very gloomy day here in NJ with rain expected. My backyard still hasn’t dried out from last weekend’s rain, it’s like walking on a sponge back there. Because of it being so spongy and wet, Coraline can’t go out and run around. Well, she can but then that means I have to give her a bath immediately. My husband went to get out tree yesterday, brought it in and got it all set up and decorated. NOW my decorating is complete. I’ll be putting together cookie trays today so that I can deliver they all by Wednesday at the latest.

Today I have a very quick CAS card for you using one set that is carrying over from the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog and one from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. 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! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Forest Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle for my card today.

I played along with the CAS On Friday Challenge #272 – Black, White and One Color.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the large image from the Fragrant Forest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White card front, larger than what I needed. I trimmed the edges using the Paper Trimmer.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the card front to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a knot. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the lined hexagon image from the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink inside the hexagon image. I punched the sentiment out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added an Opaque Faceted Gem to the sentiment. The Gems are a free product from the Sale-a-bration catalog starting January 4.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the floral image from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Forest Sympathy 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   SMAQYYMJ

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.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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.
