Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree in Pink

Posted on May 11, 2025 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Sunday morning stamping friends and Happy Mother’s Day to all human moms, fur baby moms, moms to be, foster moms and every other kind of mom there are. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and your family takes extra special care of you today.

For my card today, I played with a stamp set that I only saw a masculine card to be made with it. Since it’s that time of year when all the beautiful flowering trees are in bloom, that’s what I thought I’d try. 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.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #685

I also joined in with Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #462.

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy

Posted on April 6, 2024 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans n the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m guessing it’s going to be another slow day because of the weather. We had something different here in NJ happen yesterday. About 10 miles from my house, we had a 4.8 earthquake. It scared the living daylights out of me. There was a loud boom and my whole house shook. I didn’t know what was happening. I live in NJ to avoid those kinds of things. We didn’t have any damage. Later on around dinner time we had a 4.0 aftershock. Once again, my whole house shook. That’s enough now for a lifetime. I have to admit, that scared me almost as much as 911.

I have a sneak peek for you today using some new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog along with some retiring product. We made this card at our Stamp Camp card class last week. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Bundle (available May 1st) along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Deckled Circles Dies and retiring Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP using the Timber 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Copper Clay mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a NEW Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set in Copper Clay Ink. I cut the image out using the Loveliest Tree Dies. From a panel of Copper Clay, I cut the circle using the Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the die cut tree to the Deckled Circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Circles Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment form the Hope You Know stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Basic Beige Ink over the tree. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: GVPUUBAZ

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 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives! 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.

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:

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….
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.

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! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $63.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share and Ribbon share from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I’d love to have you join!! I’m placing my share order early on May 1st. 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 May 13th.

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 – $65.00 plus $9.00 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):

Double DSP Share – $130 + $9.00 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.

New Ribbon Share – $20.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine Card

Posted on March 26, 2024 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started off well.

Today’s card is a sneak peek at a new set coming on May 1st. I needed to make a CAS card for the beginner class that I’m doing next month and I thought this one would be perfect. 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! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a Very Vanilla card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set on the top of the card front in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I took another small piece of Pecan Pie Bordered Ribbon and tied a knot around the ribbon. I adhered the layered card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Back Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like this card and this set will be on your wish list. It comes as a bundle with dies and it’s perfect for those masculine cards. Happy Stamping!!
