Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the holiday weekend.

Today I have a Christmas card for you playing with an Online Exclusive Bundle. I know it’s only August, but when you make your own cards, you have to start early to get them done. I usually over make my holiday cards so I have a few to carry over to the next year. We’ll see what happens this year.  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! Sophisticated Sled Wreath 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sophisticated Sled Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper, Take a Bow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (available Sept 4), and Hearts & Hugs Dies for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Sketch Time Challenge #342.

September-December 2024 Mini Catalog Paper and Ribbon Shares Open for Ordering

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on September 4th 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 September 9. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2024 Mini Catalog?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. 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, it would cost you over $135.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $60.00.

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 NameItem # 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):

  • Nests of Winter (6)
  • Regal Winter (6)
  • Regal Distressed Patterns (3)
  • Reindeer Days (6)
  • Season of Elegance (6)
  • Sentimental Christmas (6)
  • Snowy Scenes (6)
  • A Little Bit Festive (3)
  • Festive Glimmer (3)
  • Splendid Autumn 6X6 (12)
  • Take A Bow 6X6 (4)

In all, you’ll receive 61 – 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 – $17.00 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:

  • Blackberry Bliss & Gold Textured Ribbon
  • Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon
  • Natural Tones Linen Thread
  • Pool Party Pompom Ribbon
  • Real Red & White Baker’s Twine

$38.00 for a single share + $9.00 shipping

Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends and Happy Mother’s Day!!! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend and have some plans for today. My plan is to spend some time in my craft studio doing with I love to do. Usually on Mother’s Day I’m outside planting flowers of plants, but it’s going to be a very rainy day and crafting seemed like a better idea.

I have a quick card for you today playing with a new bundle and a new In-Color. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs Bundle along with the 2024-2026 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to a Summer Splash card base using Liquid Glue. Using the Hearts & Hugs Dies, I cut the hearts from a panel of Petal Pink. I adhered the Petal Pink panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the hamster image from the Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image using Crumb Cake and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Hearts & Hugs Dies.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the image out using the Hearts & Hugs Dies. I adhered the hamster image to the Petal Pink panel below the die cut hearts, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment banner across the hamster using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends and a Glue Dot in the center. I added some of the die cut hearts to the banner using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered some of the die cut hearts on either side of the sentiment using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Summer Splash card base.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the heart image from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set in Calyp0so Coral Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' UP! Hearts & Hugs CAS 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards 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.
