Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend. We arrived safely in Georgia yesterday morning for the start of our 4-day crafting retreat. Amy and I picked up Mary’s supplies and headed up to the retreat, Unfortunately, Mary who plans this whole retreat, had to miss it this year. Of course, we were welcomed with open arms and started right in with having a good time. We had a delicious dinner last night to kick off the weekend with chicken, roasted zucchini and broccoli and an amazing carrot soufflé. Desert was a delicious chocolate fudge cake with black satin raspberry ganache that was made for Tara and me for our birthdays by Judi. Today’s all about crafting, laughing, chatting and eating, and that’s what we’ll be doing for the next 3 days. I look so forward to this weekend away with my friends and team members.

Today’s card is the one I brought for everyone to make at our retreat this weekend. You can watch my video making this card with other DSP and stamp set, on my YouTube Channel Here. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set, Painted Lavender Dies, Spotlight on Nature Dies and 2 3/8″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Score and fold the 3 Pretty Peacock card bases as listed in the measurements below.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to the Pretty Peacock card bases. I listed below which piece goes on which part of the card bases. Adhere the center card base to the large card base with the 4 1/4″ side in the front, about 1/4″ up from the bottom. Adhere the bottom card base with the 5 1/2″ side in the front, to the large card base on top of the center, lining up the bottom edge.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. Stamp the splatter image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink around the circle. Using the Spotlight on Nature Dies, cut the 3 1/4″ circle from a panel of Lost Lagoon. Using the Painted Lavender Dies, cut 2 of the leaf die from a panel of Pretty Peacock and 3 of the flower die from a panel of Highland Heather. Adhere the die cut pieces to the Lost Lagoon Circle. Adhere the sentiment over the die cut pieces using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the layered circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Sympathy

Posted on by
2

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a rainy one here on Saturday but yesterday was a gorgeous day, especially in the evening.

Today’s card is one of those cards you hate to make but sometimes just have to. We lost one of our fellow workers last week. He was such an awesome guy, that always made us laugh until our sides hurt. He was all about helping the customers find what they wanted and help them to fix things they needed help with. He is going to be truly missed. I wanted to send a special card to his wife and family. Here’s my card for today.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and Countryside Corners Deis for my card today.

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

I adhered 5 panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue

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

On a panel of Lost Lagoon, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Countryside Corners Dies.

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

I adhered a piece of Basic Beige 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.

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

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from Painted Lavender stamps et in Lost Lagoon Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

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

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Painted Lavender stamp set on the envelope front in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered a strip of the Perennial Lavender DSP to the front of the envelope and a panel to the envelope flap.

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.

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

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! Hope You Know Thank You

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. I can’t believe it’s the last day of April already. That means that the 2023-2024 and January-April Mini Catalogs end TODAY. I hope you grabbed any retiring items that you wanted. That also means that the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog starts tomorrow. I hope you’re getting those shopping lists ready. Mine is 2 pages long so far and that’s just what I want right now.

I hve another quick card for you today. If you have gotten the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, turn to page 22. On the bottom of the page Stampin’ Up! has added some card layouts. I used one of them for my card today. 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! Hope You Know Lavender 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set, Perennial Postage Dies, the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper for my card today.

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

I started by embossing a Highland Hether card front using the Fern EF. I adhered 3 panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue.

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

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I stamped the lavender image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Highland Heather Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the leaf image. I cut the sentiment out using the Perennial Postage Dies.

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

I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather card base using Liquid Glue. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

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

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the lavender image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Highland Heather Ink, stamping off on scrap paper, over the leaf image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

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

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the lavender image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Highland Heather Ink over the leaf image. I adhered a panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to the envelope flap.

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! Perennial Postage Panels

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend already. We’re having a gloomy week again here in NJ. Sunday and Monday were beautiful days, spring like.

Today’s card is similar to one I made a couple weeks ago except in landscape. This card we made last night at my Stamp Camp Card Class. I showed the ladies both card, portrait and landscape and let them decide which way they wanted to go. Click Here if you’d like to see the portrait version. 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! Perennial Postage Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 3 panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to 3 Orchid Oasis mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the embossed card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Panels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Orchid Oasis, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Painted Lavender Dies, I cut the flowers from a panel of Orchid Oasis and the leaves from a panel of Lost Lagoon. I adhered the die cut pieces to the card front using Glue Dots. I tied a small bow using the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack and adhered it to the bottom of the die cuts using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink. I stamped the leaves image from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink, full strength and stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Fun Fold

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Sorry I missed doing a live on Wednesday, I’ve been in bed sick all week. I’m finally able to get up a little, then I have to go back to lay down for a bit. I’m still extremely dizzy and weak, whatever this is that I have is awful. I’m pretty sure it’s pneumonia, but I’m not the Dr.

My card for today is one that we made at our last Stamping Studio meeting where we did some mystery stamping. Jaimie sent us some measurements for card stock and DSP and let us know what other supplies we needed. She then walked us through the process of making today’s card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring my Gorgeous Grape card base at 4 1/4″ & 8 1/2″. I made a small pencil mark 1 1/2″ in from the right side (the shortest scored panel). I cut from that 1 1/2″ mark down to the bottom right corner using my Paper Trimmer. I then trimmed 1/16″ off the left side so that the card would fold flat. On the 2 1/4″ X 5 1/4″ panel of Basic White I made a pencil mark 7/8″ from the left. I cut from the pencil mark down to the bottom left corner using my Paper Trimmer. On the 2 1/8″ X 5 1/8″ panel of Perennial Lavender DSP I made a pencil mark 3/4″ in from the left side. I cut from the pencil mark down to the bottom left corner. I adhered the DSP to the Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Gorgeous Grape card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″ panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the Gorgeous Grape card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Gorgeous Grape, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Perennial Postage Dies. From the panel of Basic White, I cut the next size larger using the Perennial Postage Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the right card front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

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.

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.

More Kits And Kit Updates Coming in 2024!!

If you love the kits as much as I do, you’ll be happy to see changes coming to the Kits Collection in 2024! Here are some changes that you’ll see:

  • Doubling the yearly offering. Starting January 2024, Stampin’ Up! will release two kits per month in a variety of kit types and styles.
  • Discontinuing older kits. As the new kits are introduced, Stampin’ Up! will discontinue older kits.  So pick up any of the older kits that you’d like soon so that you don’t miss out!   
  • Removing printed artwork from kit stamp set acetate sheets. Stamps in kits will no longer have printed stamp set acetate sheets. This means the kit artwork will no longer be printed on the stamp acetate sheets.  This change will apply to both the Kits Collection kits and Paper Pumpkin stamp sets.  As a replacement for the printed stamp acetate sheet currently in each stamping kit, Stampin’ Up! will include a separate paper print piece that displays the stamp artwork and stamp name.  This new piece will be a great resource for identifying and storing kit stamps.
    • For Paper Pumpkin, the acetate sheet change will start with the first kit of 2024.
    • For the Kits Collection, the acetate sheet change will start with the first stamping kit release after June 2024.  This will be a rolling change, so kits released before June 2024 may be replenished with stamps that do not have printed acetate sheets. 

I hope that you’re as excited as I am about the upcoming Kits Collection changes!  Can’t wait to see what they come up with!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender 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 Sketch 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 sketch.

Stampin' Up! Painted Lavender Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper for my card today. All the items used today will be available starting January 4 from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Painted Lavender Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Perennial Lavender DSP card front to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Crumb Cake card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 more pieces of the Perennial Lavender DSP to Pretty Peacock mat using Liquid Glue and set them aside.

Stampin' Up! Painted Lavender Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set in Highland Heather Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the image using the Painted Lavender Dies. Using the Painted Lavender Dies, I cut 2 of the leaf images from Pretty Peacock, 2 of the floral images from Blackberry Bliss and 2 of the tiny heart flower images from Crumb Cake. I adhered the die cut stamped image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered all the other die cut pieces behind the stamped image using Liquid Glue.

On the layered solid DSP panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the longer layered DSP panel to the left side of the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment panel to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Painted Lavender Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basie White. I stamped the leaf image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel twice. I stamped the lavender image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Highland Heather Ink, stamping off on scrap paper, over the leaf image. I adhered a strip of Perennial Lavender DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adherd the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.,

Stampin' Up! Painted Lavender Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope.
