Stampin’ Up! In The Moment for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 1 creativestamppingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. I also used all the new 2023-2025 In-Colors for my card.

These are our colors for this week

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge 308.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 2 creativestamppingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 3 creativestamppingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Copper Clay, Ivory, Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 4 creativestamppingdesigns.com

On a strip of Pebbled Path cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it using White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the end using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I added 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 5 creativestamppingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 6 creativestamppingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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

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! Wild & Sweet Masculine Card

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through the week already.

Today’s card was a last-minute card that I added to our Stamp Camp Card Class last night. We kicked off the new catalog with a scavenger hunt where the ladies won some prize patrol for finishing it. We then made some masculine cards. My upline Jaimie is doing a weekly sketch challenge with us again and her sketch came in just in time for an idea for a card. Here’s my card that was inspired from her sketch.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

This was her sketch for us this week.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored just the leaves of the image using the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic Black cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the ends of using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped part of the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the leaves using Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Wild & Sweet 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the panda image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the leaves using my Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped part of the tree image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set on the envelope flap in Tuxedo Black Ink.

Stampin’ Up! In The Moment

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? We had the rain and thunderstorms they predicted yesterday and today is supposed to be beautiful. We have our monthly virtual team meeting which is always fun. Our team is made up of demonstrators from all over the US.

I pulled out an older set to play with today, and I’m happy that it’ll be carrying over to the new catalog. I love sketched stamp sets. I also used 2 of my absolute favorite colors that are staying, Petal Pink and Pool Party. Subtle Color Family is my favorite, what’s yours? Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration Cling Stamp Set and By The Bay 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of By The Bay DSP in half on an angle. I adhered the 2 triangles to a Petal Pink panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from In The Moment stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink (available May 2nd). I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Medium Light, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the artwork to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few soon to retire Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment and bird image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of By The Bay DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! In The Moment 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the By The Bay DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped the bird image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments CAS Mother’s Day

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend and Easter? It was very quiet here. My daughter and I made a nice brunch and it was a very relaxing day.

Today’s card I played with one of my favorite sets that will be retiring soon. I was keeping my fingers crossed that this set would stay. The colors I used today will be available in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog starting on May 2nd. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Mother's Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #580.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Mother's Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on the bottom of the Basic White panel. I stamped the large detailed flower image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the stem. I stamped the large solid flower image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink over the detailed flower image.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Mother's Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the panel into 4 pieces using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the cut pieces to a Bubble Bath mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Berry Burst card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Mother's Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I cut the ends of the strip using the Banner Pick A Punch. I cut the ends of a strip of Bubble Bath cardstock using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the Bubble Bath strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Mother's Day 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on a panel of Basic White. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the single stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink. I stamped the details on the stem in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the single detailed flower image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I stamped the single solid flower image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink over the detailed imate.. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat then to the inside of the Berry Burst card base.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Mother's Day 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish the card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Bery Burst, Bubble Bath and Lemon Lime Twist Inks.

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me!

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

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! In The Moment Thank You Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any fun plans? I’ll be working all day today, but I do have off tomorrow. Thursday was my first day out working all day and I was exhausted through Friday. I’m hoping the same doesn’t happen again. I was told it might take at least a month before I feel more like myself. I’m really hoping it doesn’t take that long.

Today’s card has lots of layers. I love cards with layers, the only problem with them is it’s always more postage to mail them. I also wanted to play with the 2022-2024 In-colors. I haven’t used them in a while, and I thought it was time. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set along with the 2022-2024 6 X 6 In-Color Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the 4 panels of 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to a Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Parakeet Party mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Starry Sky card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Parakeet Party, Soft Suede, Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Starry Sky mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Parakeet Party mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Parakeet Party mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

Stampin' Up! In The Moments 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. Can you believe there are only 2 days left of 2021? I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to 2022, with being sick this past month, I’m ready to start a new year.

I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper for my Tower card today.

This is this week’s Theme.

I started by scoring and cutting my card base as pictured in the template below.

A while back I did a video making this card. Click Here to see the video.

I adhered panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink.

I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. On a scrap of Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper, I stamped the pillow part of the stamp and fussy cut the pillows using my Paper Snips. I adhered the fussy cut pieces to the stamped image. I adhered the artwork to a panel of So Saffron cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

I adhered panels of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the back of the card base.

Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Sneak Peak Christmas

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I hope you are having a relaxing one.

I have a sneak peek for you today using another stamp set that will be coming in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. I really love this set, it’s sketched images which are my favorite. I did a little paper piecing for my card today too. Here’s my card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Misty Moonlight card front using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I wrapped a piece of White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the panel and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Evening Evergreen, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Soft Succulent and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set on the same panel of Basic White cardstock in Misty Moonlight Ink and cut it out using my Layering Circles Dies.

I stamped the image again on a panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the pillow and blanket using my Paper Snips and adhered them to the artwork using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the largest scalloped circle die from the Layering Circles Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped circle and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the card front tucked under the artwork. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Decorative Matte Dots to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Tidings of Christmas 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 maybe have this set on your wish list for when the new catalog goes live. Happy Stamping!!
