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! More Than Autumn Tag Card

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ve got less than 3 weeks before I leave on a family vacation. I am so looking forward to the vacation and going away with my family.

Who out there likes Hot Apple Cider and Apple Cider Donuts? I always look forward to going apple picking in the fall not only for the fresh apples, but to get some apple cider donuts at the end. Anyone who knows me, knows I do not like donuts, and they don’t like me. There’s something about apple cider donuts that I love, and they like me too. Today’s card really got me in the mood for those donuts. This bundle from the mini catalog caught my eye the day I got to view the catalog and was the first one on my list to get. 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! More Than Autumn Tag 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn Bundle along with the Greetings of the Season Dies and Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design came from Sunday Stamps Challenge #344 – Put A Bow On It.

Stamp the center of the cup image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a scrap of Basic Beige.

Stamp the cinnamon stick image from the More Than Autumn stamp set in Pecan Pie on the panel. Color the image using Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the donut and cinnamon stick using the More Than Autumn Dies. Adhere the donut to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the cinnamon stick using a tiny amount of Liquid Glue.

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. I’ll be working tomorrow, but I do have off on Sunday.

I’m a little late today with posting, it’s been a crazy week for me, and I didn’t get my card finished until a little while ago. This is one of those cards that I kept making mistakes and I was determined to finish the card properly. After I was all finished and loving how my card turned out, I realized the stamp set I used is no longer available in the Online Exclusive store in English. You can still purchase it in French if you just want to use the images. but you are able to make the truck part of the design using the Truck Builder Punch which is still available. I don’t usually post cards if items are not available, but with a little tweaking you can use this design for anything.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was your weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? I spent yesterday in the house all day. I woke up with pink eye and wasn’t able to see very well. I was able to make a couple cards and do some rearranging in my craft studio.

Today’s card I played with an older set and made one of my favorite kinds of cards, layers. 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! Rustic Crate Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #340.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 3 panels of Iconic Celebrations DSP to Mossy Meadow mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3 layered panels to an Iconic Celebrations DSP card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I colored a piece of Very Vanilla 3/.4″ Satin Ribbon using Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I wrapped the ribbon around the card front and adhered it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the artwork to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Iridescent Dots using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Rustic Crate stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Sophisticate Sled for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Did everyone have a nice 4th? It was a very relaxing day here at our house. My niece came over in the morning with her dog and we went out walking for a few miles with the dogs. By the time we got home they were both hot and exhausted. Here’s a picture of what Coraline did after her walk. Smart pup, laid down right in front of the fan.

A few of my husband’s friends came over in the afternoon and we barbequed hamburgers and wings. I was even able to get a little crafting time in for myself. All was good here until the fireworks started going off all around out area. Coraline does not do well with them at all. I even gave her a calming treat, which only helped for a short time. She was a very nervous puppy. Gidget on the other hand had no clue what was going on.

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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Bundle along with the Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Misty Moonlight panel and scored the Basic White panel. I carefully folded the card base in half on the score lines. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the scored panel of Moody Mauve using Liquid Gue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Moody Mauve panel and scored the DSP panel. I carefully folded the panel in half on the score lines. I folded the 2 sides back on the side score lines and adhered it to the card base, lining up the center score line on the layered panel with the score line on the card base, using Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Take the 2 1″ X 1″ scored pieces and fold them in half. Adhere them to the DSP lining up the folded edged with the score line of the DSP using Tear & Tape. Cut the Misty Moonlight panel using the 3rd largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Emboss the circle using the Snowflake Sky EF. Adhere the die cut circle to the 2 folded pieces using Tear & Tape. Using the Sophisticated Sled Dies, cut the skates from a panel of Basic White, laces from a panel of Moody Mauve and the blades from a panel of Silver Foil paper. Adhere the blades to the bottom of the skates using Liquid Glue. Insert the laces to the skates and add a couple Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to hold them in place. Adhered a piece of 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim to the back of the skates using Glue Dots. Tie a bow with another piece on the top. Adhere the skates to the embossed circle. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the Basic White panel. Fold the ends on the score lines. Using a Bone Folder, curve the back of the layered panel. Adhered the layered panel to the bottom of the card base using Tear & Tape.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Here is a top view of how it should look.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, stamp the sentiment from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Misty Moonlight Ink. Stamp the skates’ image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on the other panel of Basic White in Pebbled Path Ink. Color the image using Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the snowflake image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the image and sentiment. Adhered the Basic White panels to Moody Mauve mat then to the back of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the skates’ image form the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Pebbled path Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate Stampin Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.
