Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? Are you getting ready for the weekend? I know I am. it’s been a busy week for me, a lot of running around, working and getting catalogs packed up and shipped out to all my customers. If you are a customer of mine, you should be receiving yours shortly, unless you already did.

Today’s card we made at our Stamping Studio on Tuesday night for our Mystery Stamping. I had to leave the meeting early for an appointment, so I never heard the final card instructions, so I did what I thought was correct. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 1st) along with the Online Exclusive Designer Tags Dies, the retiring Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set, the retiring Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the retiring Tailor Made Tags for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Liquid Glue. (this is actually the card base).

I cut sprigs from panels of Crushed Curry and Lost Lagoon using the Designer Tags Dies. I cut a butterfly from a panel of Petal Pink using the Designer Tags Dies. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I cut the tag out using the retiring Tailor-Made Tags. I threaded a piece of the White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack through the top of the tag.

Jaimie talked us through making the origami envelope for the front of the card using a 6 X 6 panel of DSP. I used a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP for mine. I wrapped a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon around the envelope, adhering it on the back with Glue Dots. I adhered the envelope to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs behind the envelope using Glue Dots and Butterfly to the card front using Glue Dots.

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the sides of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crushed Curry mat using Stampin’ Seal. This little card gets tucked inside the envelope. I tied the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon around the envelope and tied a bow. I attached the sentiment tag to the Lost Lagoon Ribbon. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the envelope front multiple times without reinking the stamp. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share!

Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and 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 Sketch Challenge.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the soon to retire Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set and Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Lost Lagoon and Inked Botanicals DSP using the 4th largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 die cut panels together using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I fussy cut the leaf using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment form the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends. I adhered the fussy cut leaf to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I inked up the tall flower stamp using Crushed Curry and Lost Lagon Stampin’ Write Markers. I huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamped the flower on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled In Crushed Curry 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the envelope front inking it up the same as I did for the inside of the card. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink over the flower image stem. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. 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 January 15th.

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 Name, Item # 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!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 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):

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6
  • Poetic Expressions – 6
  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 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″ × 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.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 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 or Baker’s Twine.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • 1/4″ Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon
  • 3/8″ Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon
  • Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack
  • 1/8″ Gold Faux Leather Trim

Double Ribbon Share – $20 + $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon and baker’s twine.

If you would like the Designer Series Paper Share AND the Ribbon Share the cost will be:

$25 for a single share + $8.50 shipping

$50 for a double share + $8.50 shipping.

Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Melon for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

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. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Melon 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Sale-a-bration Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Melon Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Sale-a-bration Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder and Modern Oval Punch for my card today. The Sale-a-bration items will be available January4-February 29.

These are out colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Melon 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to a Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue. I embossed a small panel of Crushed Curry using the Softly Sophisticated EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Melon 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the whole watermelon image from the Watercolor Melon stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I punched the watermelon out using the Modern Oval Punch. On the same panel I stamped the slice of watermelon from the Watercolor Melon stamp set. I stamped the rind in Granny Apple Green Ink, the melon part in Melon Mambo Ink and the seeds in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the image using Paper Snips. On another panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Watercolor Melon stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink twice. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the stamped panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Melon 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered embossed panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered DSP panel over the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the stamped layered Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the watermelon to the stamped panel over the leaves using Glue Dots. I adhered the slice of watermelon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Glossy Dots Assortment to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Melon 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I adhered a strip of the Glorious Gingham DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the watermelon slice from the Watercolor Melon stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the rind in Granny Apple Green Ink, the melon in Melon Mambo Ink and the seeds in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base.

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Melon 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the watermelon slice from the Watercolor Melon stamp set on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP 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! Inked & Tiled for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

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! Inked & Tiled Just A Note 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set along with the Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Here are our colors for this week.

My design is from The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #650.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Just A Note 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to a Lost Lagoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Just A Note 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 more panels of Inked Botanicals DSP to 2 coordinating Lost Lagoon mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Just A Note 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Lost Lagoon, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Pool Party Ink. I let the ink dry completely, then stamped the flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Versamark Ink over the leaf image. I sprinkled the image with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the image out using the 3rd largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’; Dimensional and Glue Dot. I added a few Ombre Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Just A Note 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the sides of the panel in full strength and stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered a piece of Inked Botanicals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Just A Note 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Pool Party Ink full strength and stamped off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Bold Bouquet for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on by
20

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Fun Fold”. We can interpret this however we want. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bold Bouquet Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bold Bouquet Bundle along with the Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from the Paper Players Color Challenge #648.

My design is from the Paper Craft Crew Vertical Sketch Challenge # 525.

Stampin' Up! Bold Bouquet Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a Basic White card front using the Exposed Brick 3 D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Bold Bouquet Photopolymer Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the smaller flowers from the Bold Bouquet stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I cut the images out using the Bold Boquet Dies. From a panel of Lost lagoon, I cut the leaf pieces from the Bold Bouquet Dies.

Stampin' Up! Bold Bouquet Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the leaf dies to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the large die cut flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the smaller flowers under the large flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Bold Bouquet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bold Bouquet Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I scored and folded the Basic White card base as listed below. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the Basic White card back using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card base to the center of the card back using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to the left outside panel of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bold Bouquet Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered 2 thinner panels of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the 2 inside panels of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of the Bright & Beautiful DSP to the outside right panel of the card base. I stamped the sentiment from Bold Bouquet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium flower image from the Bold Bouquet stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the leaves in Lost Lagoon Ink and the small flowers in Berry Burst Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Bold Bouquet Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium flower image from the Bold Bouquet stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaves in Lost Lagoon Ink and the smaller flowers in Berry Burst Ink. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP 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! Earthen Textures

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning stamping friends. Welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? It was very rainy and stormy here yesterday. I finally got the rest of my tomato plants into pots and got everything in place where I want it before the storms started coming through. It rained so hard though, that my plants were swimming.

Today I have a quick CAS card for you where I mixed a stamp set with a different suite DSP. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set along with the Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #750.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #593.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the small vase from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in the vase in Berry Burst Ink. I stamped the center one off once on scrap paper then stamped the others.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 2 strips of Inked Botanicals DSP to either side of a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic Gray cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Berry Burst Ink, stamping the center one off on scrap paper once then stamping the other ones. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the plume image from the Earthen Textures stamp set on the envelope front in Berry Burst Ink the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
18

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 Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Get Well 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Photopolymer Stamp Set, Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Get Well 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 strips of Inked Botanicals DSP to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Get Well 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the largest die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the Basic Whtie panel multiple times. I stamped the larger flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the leaf images. I adhered the stamped panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Get Well 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 3 Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the sentiment. I added a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front. I tied a small bow with the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon and adhered it to the artwork using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Get Well 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Seasonal Branches stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the larger flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the leaf image. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lost lagoon mat then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I stamped the larger flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the leaf image. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP 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! Inked & Tiled for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are ready for a long weekend. I’ll be at work, but I do have off on Monday and we’re planning on having a picnic/birthday all day. Today is my daughter’s birthday and every year we celebrate on Memorial Day. This year she has to share her celebration with Coraline, my puppy. Coraline turned 1 today.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. I was a little bit of a hot mess, but I made it through. It just wasn’t my day for a live starting with having technical difficulties. 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 links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set along with the Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the 3″ X 5 1/4″ panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the largest Nested Essentials Dies. I folded the panel on the 1″ score line, placed the die above the fold line so that it wouldn’t cut the fold and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the die cut panel to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, so that it would fold over the Z-Fold.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink 3 time, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel each time. I stamped the flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set over the leaf images. I inked the flower image using Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Marker for the stem and leaves, Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Marker for the flowers and I used Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers for highlights on the flowers. I gave it a couple huffs to reactivate the ink before stamping. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small bow with the1/4″ Petal Pink Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a couple Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the top of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 2nd largest die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on either side of the sentiment. I used Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers for the stems and Calypso Coral & Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Markers for the flowers. I adhered the sentiment panel to the Petal Pink flap using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the panel.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I inked it using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside left side of the Petal Pink card base. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanical DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the inside back of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink twice on the envelope front, stamping off twice on scrap paper each time. I stamped the flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set over the leaf images. I inked the flower using Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
2

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are halfway through the week already. I hope everyone is having a good week.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts We have 2 inspiration photos this week and you can choose whichever photo you prefer, or you could create two separate cards, one for each photo! The inspiration photo 195a is Floral Spring and photo 195b is Garden Birds. Here is my card inspired by the photo.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Friendship 1 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set along with the Inked Botanical 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Basic Borders Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by photo 195a, Floral Spring. I just love spring flowers.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 195a or 195b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Friendship 2 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic Whtie and Calypso Coral cardstock using the Basic Borders Dies. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the large flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set over the leaf image. I inked up the stamp using my Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the stem of the large flower image. I inked up the stamp using the Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Friendship 3 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Inked Botanical DSP to the Lost Lagoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic Whtie die cut panel to the Calypso Coral die cut panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Friendship 4 creativestampiungdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the sentiment and Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Friendship 5 creativestampiungdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on a piece of scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the large and small flower images from the Inked & Tiled stamp set over the leaf image. I inked up the stamp using my Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled Friendship 6 creativestampiungdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaves and floral images from the Inked & Tiled stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanical DSP to the envelope flap.

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:   BR9XGSTC

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 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the January-April 2023 Mini 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.
