Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. It’s supposed to rain here today, at least that’s the last I heard. I’ll be at work all day, so we’ll see what the day brings.

For today’s card I played with the same 2 sets I played with last week. When I won this set at OnStage, I wasn’t sure if I would even use it. Once I paired it up with the sentiment set, ideas were coming to me. 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.

Stampin' Up! Blooming Phrases Along These Lines 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Blooming Phrases Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Along These Lines Photopolymer Stamp Set, Nested Essentials Dies and On The Go Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Comfort

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was your weekend? We woke up to snowy Ice here in NJ yesterday, I don’t mind the snow, but I really do not like the ice.

Today’s card is a very clean and simple one. I just love when the DSP makes the whole card and all I have to do is add a sentiment. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Comfort 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Comfort 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to a Copper Clay card base using Liquid Glue. Don’t forget that Copper Clay is one of the 2023 – 2025 In-Colors and will likely be retiring in April. If this is a favorite of yours, grab it while you can.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Comfort 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Comfort 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a piece of Copper Clay Natural Tones Linen Thread to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment over the linen thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Faux Glass Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Comfort 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Adhere 2 strips of the Splendid Autumn DSP to the top and bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Comfort 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Adhere a strip of Splendid Autumn DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Comfort 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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

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.

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! Market Goodness Fruit Salad

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. Monday, we started a renovation project in my house. We’re having our bathroom redone. The partial demolition was Monday, yesterday was plumbing and today starts the rip out of the floor and replacing the Sheetrock. Our hope is that my husband will be able to paint this weekend, pending on him deciding on the final color LOL, then next week the new floor will go in and hopefully my husband has remembered to order the new vanity.

Today’s card main feature is the Sale-a-bration DSP. When I got this pack of DSP, I had no idea what I would do with it. I had fun playing with it, it’s really a fun pack. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 1 creativeatampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Market Goodness Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Fruit Salad 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Nested Essentials Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Flying Through Challenge #352

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 2 creativeatampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Fruit Salad DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Daffodil Delight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 3 creativeatampingdesigns.com

Punch a circle from a panel of Basic White using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. Stamp the sentiment from the Market Goodness stamp set on the circle in Early Espresso Ink. Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the 2nd largest circle from a panel of Early Espresso. Adhere the sentiment to the die cut circle using Stampin’ Seal. Fussy cut a banana from a panel of Fruit Salad DSP using Paper Snips. Adhere the banana to the top of the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the largest banner from 2 different panels of Fruit Salad DSP.

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 4 creativeatampingdesigns.com

Using the Nested Essentials Dies, cut 4 of the 2nd smallest banner die from a panel of Early Espresso. Cut the 2 DSP die cut banners in half using Paper Snips. Adhere the DSP banner die cuts to the Early Espresso die cuts using Liquid Glue. Adhere the banners on the card front using Glue Dots. Adhere the sentiment on top of the banners using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 5 creativeatampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Market Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Fruit Salad DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Daffodil Delight card base.

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 6 creativeatampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Adhere a strip of Fruit Salad DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Market Goodness Fruit Salad 7 creativeatampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Snowman Hugs

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning stamping friends and Happy Veterans Day. Thank You for your service and the sacrifices you’ve made!! Don’t forget to take a moment to thank a veteran today. My dad was a veteran of the Army for WWII. I remember him telling me many horrible stories of what he went through. My brother was a veteran of Vietnam, although he was out on medical discharge shortly after he enlisted. How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? FINALLY last night we got a little rain after over 45 days of none. I was in my room reading and I heard something going on outside. I thought the wind had picked up for a minute then realized it was rain. We still need a lot more, but it’s a start.

I have a fun winter card for you today that can be used for any occasion. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up1 Snowman Hugs 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snowman Hugs Cling Stamp Set along with the Nested Essentials Dies, Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper and Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps In The Frame Challenge #348.

Stampin' Up1 Snowman Hugs 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Nests of Winter DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. Adhere a strip of Snowy Scenes DSP to the side of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up1 Snowman Hugs 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the snowman image from Snowman Hugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the snow image from Snowman Hugs stamp set in Pool Party Ink below the snowman image. Cut the image out using the largest rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies. Color the image using Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up1 Snowman Hugs 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Snowman Hugs stamp set in Garden Green Ink. Cut a piece of Pool Party 5/8″ Pompom Ribbon in half. Adhere the ribbon to the top and bottom back of the sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up1 Snowman Hugs 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Snowman Hugs stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a strip of Nests of Winter DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up1 Snowman Hugs 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the snowman image from the Snowman Hugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Snowy Scene DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Can you believe it’s the last day of May already? Are you ready for the weekend? Is anyone starting to make plans yet?

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for today’s card.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered one of the 1″ X 5 1/4″ panels, one of the 3 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panels and the 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ panel of To Market DSP to coordinating Blackberry Bliss mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I trimmed the banner to the size I wanted using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped the belly band around the card base and adhered it together using Tear & Tape. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flowers, bottle and cake images from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Attentions Shoppers Dies. I colored the images using Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Attentions Shoppers Dies, I cut the shopping card out from a panel of Silver Foil. I adhered the images to the back of the shopping card using Liquid Glue. I adhered the shopping cart to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I adhered the last 2 panels of To Market DSP to Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the Petal Pink card base using Liquid Gue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiments from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the gift bag image from Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Attention Shoppers Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the gift bag image from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of To Market DSP to the envelope flap.

I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take it.

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:   PKXMFP73

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 2024-2025Annual 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.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is everyone ready for the weekend? I hope you all have Monday off to enjoy a picnic with friends and family.

Last Tuesday was our Stamping Studio and I led Mystery Stamping. The card I posted last Friday was where I got my design from to share. Today’s card is the one I made during mystery stamping. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today. I adhered 4″ X 4″ & 1″ X 4″ panels of To Market DSP to Crumb Cake mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 1″ X 4″ layered panel to the top scored section of a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4″ X 4″ layered panel to a Basic Beige mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the bottom 2 1/8″ scored section of the Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the burger and fries’ images from the Stampin’ Up! Bistro Burger Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Poppy Parade and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Bistro Burger Dies. Using the Bistro Burger Dies, I cut the cutting board die and knife handle die from a panel of To Market DSP, and the knife die from a panel of Smoky Slate. I adhered the knife handle to the knife using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the cutting board die cut to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Seal, trimming off excess using Paper Snips. I adhered the burger, fries and knife using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the happy Father’s Day sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the 1″ X 4″ panel of Basic Beige. I adhered the sentiment to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the scored section of the Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic Beige I stamped the sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies. This sentiment is the stopper for the easel card. I adhered the sentiment towards the bottom of the inner liner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Easel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fries image from the Bistro Burger stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Wild Wheat Stampin ‘ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of To Market DSP to the envelope flap.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   6C44QBJA

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 2024-2025Annual 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.

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

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! Country Flowers for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
2

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and halfway through the month already. I have a wedding reception to go to tonight and tomorrow is a big day for my daughter. She’ll be graduating with a BS degree in Forensic Chemistry. To say I’m proud of her is an understatement. She has worked so hard to get this degree. I can’t wait to see where she goes from here. I know her next step is to get a job and then start working on her PHD.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #207 is Red, White and Blue. 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 that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' UP! Country Flowers in Red 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set, Country Woods Designer Series Paper and Nesting Essentials Dies for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the flowers and colors from the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 207.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' UP! Country Flowers in Red 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut the largest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies from a panel of Real Red. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the banner. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the banner to the left top of the card front using Liquid Glue just on the bottom of the banner. I trimmed off the excess using Paper Snips. I adhered the card front to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Country Flowers in Red 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Country Flowers Dies. On a panel of Country Wood DSP, I stamped the stool image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the image out using the Country Flowers Dies. From another panel of Country Woods DSP, I cut the flowerpot die using the Country Flowers Dies. I adhered the stool to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowerpot using Glue Dots and the flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' UP! Country Flowers in Red 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamps et in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the floral image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' UP! Country Flowers in Red 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Country Flowers stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Easel Card

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 Theme Challenge.  Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Garden Meadow Bundle along with the Meandering Meadow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies for my card today.

Here is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Meandering Meadow DSP to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to an Orchid Oasis card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the card front to the bottom section only of an Orchid Oasis card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the boots and garden tools images from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using Fresh Freesia, Orchid Oasis and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Garden Meadow Dies. From a panel of Basic White, I cut the fence die using the Garden Meadow Dies. I adhered the fence, boots and garden tools to the card front using Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic White using the Nested Essentials Dies. I wanted the banner smaller, so I cut the cardstock part way through, I lifted the die and moved it to the size I wanted it making sure the stitches gripped. I turned the cardstock so that it would go through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine the opposite way and cut the other part of the way through. I then stamped the sentiment from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on the banner. I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies to the card front an a couple Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the banner.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the watering can image from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Fresh Freesia and Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base. I stamped the basket of flowers from the Garden Meadow stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Garden Meadow Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This is the easel stopper.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the wheelbarrow image from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Basic Black, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Orchid Oasis and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadow DSP to the envelope flap.

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:   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.

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.
