Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and I’ll be on my way to TN in a couple short hours and then heading to our annual retreat in GA. I’m excited to see everyone again in person.

Today starts the Flash Sale!!!

 Stampin’ Up! just announced that they’re doing a 15% off select stamp sets from September 16-18!!  We weren’t given a list of the stamp sets that will be on sale, so we’ll need to check the online store when the sale begins to find out the specific sets! And did you know that if you are a demonstrator, you get your 20% discount on top of the 15% discount. Interested in joining? Information below and contact me and we can talk.

Here are the details for the sale:

• Sales Period: September 16–18
• Ordering Deadline: September 18, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. (MT)
• The 15% discount will apply to select stamp sets, which are only available while supplies last. See and shop all qualifying stamp sets in my Online Store starting Wednesday September 16

I have a CAS card for you today that you can make in less than half hour from start to finish. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked Floret Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set and Party Banner Dies for my card today. This just happens to be one of the Stamp Sets on SALE right now too!!!

Cut a panel of Hydrangea Hye Two-Tone cardstock using the 6th from largest Party Banner Die.

Stamp the floral image from Inked Floret stamp set in Hydrangea Hue Ink on the side of the die cut banne.

Stamp the sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set in Hydrangea Hue Ink on the top of the banner. Adhere the banner to a Hydrangea Hue card base. Add a few 2026-2028 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set in Hydrangea Hue Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the floral image from Inked Floret stamp set in Hydrangea Hue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Hydrangea Hue Two-Tone cardstock mat then to the inside of the Hydrangea Hue card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp part of the floral image from Inked Floret stamp set in Hydrangea Hue Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Bloom Boutique 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!!

Join Experience

Stampin’ Up! is introduced a simplified join process designed to make joining faster and easier than ever before!  The new process will create a more streamlined experience when you join!  

As part of the new join process, all first-time demonstrators (beginning June 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM MT) will receive a surprise Welcome Box—a gesture of appreciation and a warm welcome into the global Stampin’ Up! creative community!

How the New Process Works

Step 1: Join

New demonstrators will:

1. choose a team leader.
2. accept required agreements.
3. enter a few personal details.
4. pay the $100 join fee.
5. click submit.

Step 2: Shop

Once their information has been reviewed and approved (usually very quickly), their Welcome Box ships, and the new demonstrator receives an email with:

• their demonstrator ID.
• a coupon code to begin shopping.

About the Coupon Code

• Valued at $125.
• Coupon code can be applied to any demonstrator order.
• Order CAN exceed the coupon code value (I know that many people wanted the option to be able to add more than $125 to their Starter Kit!).
• Any amount above the coupon code value:
  • receives the demonstrator discount.
  • counts toward the quarterly sales minimum.
  • earns Stampin’ Rewards if it meets the qualifying purchase amount (as long as you’ve opted into the Stampin’ Rewards program).

Additional perk for new demonstrators

• New demonstrators may add eight free catalogs to any order!

Let me know if you have any questions about the new joining process.  I’m so happy that you’ll now have the option to go over the $125 amount AND that it will automatically count toward your sales! 

Why not start thinking about joining the Stampin’ Up! community, I’d love to have you on my team. It will be 8 years in July that I signed up and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From all the friends I’ve made, the discount on everything I purchase, early access to seeing the new products coming and being able to order them before customers and of course going to OnStage and meeting up with my team and other demos. Contact me at: creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. We’re a very relaxed team that loves to create and share.
