Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry CAS for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry Cling Stamp Set along with the Lights Aglow 6 X 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the large snowflake image from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the snowflake out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut one a tiny bit larger using Gold Foil paper. I adhered the snowflake image to the Gold Foil paper using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front overlapping the layered circles using a Glue Dot and Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Gold Festive Pearls to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Versamark Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I stamped the snowflake image from the Joyful Flurry stamp set on the top of the panel in Versamark Ink and again sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I adhered a strip of the Lights Aglow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Banners Fun Fold Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Has anyone made any plans for the long weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and Sunday.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Banners Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set and the Lights Aglow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Brushed Metallic Paper using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. For anyone that watched my video and wanted the Snowflakes, check out my Instagram Reel. I made one with the snowflake embossing folder. I cut a panel of Lights Aglow DSP on the right side in the center at the 2 5/8″, I cut in 2″. I scored from the bottom right corner to the 2″ mark and from the top right corner to the 2″ mark.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I folded the 2 corners on the score lines. I adhered the folded DSP panel to the Brushed Metallic embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the banner image from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Banners Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Banners stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the banner out using the Christmas Banner Dies. I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From panels of Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Brushed Metallic cardstocks, I cut the berries, branches, pine boughs and sprigs using the Christmas Banner Dies. I arranged the die cut pieces under the banner the way I liked them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Festive Pearls to the banner.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pine bough and sprig images from the Christmas Banners stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine bough and sprig images from the Christmas Banners stamp set on the envelope front in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent Inks. I adhered a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to the envelope flap.

To make the most of this experience, you can order the Cottage Rose Bundle from the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog, the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog, or the Warm Welcome Bundle which you can get early from the January–June 2023 Mini Catalog!!  The bundles aren’t required to attend the event, but if you’d like to make the projects presented, you’ll want to get the bundles!

If you haven’t seen the Warm Welcome bundle yet, here it is!

When you order any bundle, you’ll get a FREE gift of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels! (Note that even if you order all three bundles, you’ll only receive one Iridescent Pearls gift.) 

Check out the Product Flyer with all the bundles’ ordering information. You can still attend this event without ordering the bundles, but it will be a lot more fun to craft together if you have one or more bundles! Order early to get your products in time for our World Card Making Day Creative Event.

Available Now!!

Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about! 

We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog.  

These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you and your customers will save 10% off the retail price. 

Put these wonderful stamp sets and dies together for more papercrafting fun!

Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are making some fun plans. I’ll be working all day today and I have this feeling that it is going to be busy. Today is our annual Children’s Miracle Network Promotion. Customers donate $5, get a 5-gallon bucket and almost anything they can fit into that bucket they get 20% off of. Good deal and a lot of people look forward to it.

I have a CAS Christmas card today using a set from the Annual Catalog along with some Sale-a-bration DSP that is still available. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

My CAS card today features the Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Lights Aglow 6 X 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Silver & Gold 6 X 6 Sale-a-bration Specialty Paper.

My design is from Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #354.

My colors are from Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #178 Black+White +1 Other Colour. I used Gold for my additional color.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Silver & Gold DSP to a panel of Gold Foil Paper. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Trimming the Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder from my Metallic Embossing Powder. I set it using my Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the sentiment out using the Designer Tags Dies. I cut a panel of Lights Aglow DSP using the same Designer Tags Dies. I cut the tag partially then moved the die down on the paper and cut it from the other side to make the tag longer. I threaded a piece of Gold Simply Elegant Trim through the tags and knotted them off. I adhered the tags to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment and bow image from the Trimming the Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink on a Basic White panel. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I adhered a strip of the Lights Aglow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Lights Aglow DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.
