Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. I h9pe you are all having a good week so far.

Today’s card I played with some retiring products and products that are carrying over. 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! Blueberry Bunches Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches Cling Stamp Set along with the Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design for today’s card came from Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #442.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Glorious Gingham DSP card front to a Parakeet Party (retiring April 30th) mat using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the smaller blueberry image from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Blueberry Bushel and Parakeet Party(retiring April 30th) Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the Basic White panel using the Painted Textures EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Parakeet Party mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Parakeet Party Baker’s Twine from the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack (retiring April 30th), around the card front 3 times and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I adhered a strip of the Glorious Gingham DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Parakeet Party mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic white Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller blueberry image from the Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Blueberry Bushel and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bunches Hello 7 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.

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.

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

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!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet & Precious Sloth

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. Last I looked it’s supposed to be a beautiful weekend here in NJ with the high being only around 80 and lower humidity.

I have a fairly quick card for you today using some items from the Annual Catalog again. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious Sloth 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet & Precious Cling Stamp Set along with the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious Sloth 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Moody Mauve card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious Sloth 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sloth image from the Sweet & Precious stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the trees in the image using Copper Clay and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Blending Brush, I added a little Pool Party Ink around the edges. I adhered the artwork to a Granny Apple Green mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious Sloth 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Pebbled Path using the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered a panel of Moody Mauve in the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Pebbled path die cut using Stampin’ Dimensionals to the center of the card front. I adhered the layered artwork to the Pebbled Path die cut panel using Multipurpose Liquid glue. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious Sloth 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet & Precious stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small leaf image from the Sweet & Precious stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink along the top of the panel. I adhered a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pebbled Path mat then to the inside of the Moody Mauve card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet & Precious Sloth 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sloth image from the Sweet & Precious stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Copper Clay and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP to the envelope flap.

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! Pansy Patch Birthday

Good
Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!! I hope you have some plans in the works for the weekend. It’s supposed to be a beautiful one here in NJ. Last I looked there’s no rain in the forecast, 1st time in a few weeks.

I have a quick card for you today using some older products that I haven’t played with in a while. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Pansy Patch Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Artistic Dies, Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Pansy Patch Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the bottom of a Basic White card front. I embossed the panel using the Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. From a panel of Basic White, I cut the largest Die from the Artistic Dies. I adhered the floral die to a panel of Stargazing DSP.

Stampin' Up! Pansy Patch Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered die panel to the top of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Pansy Patch Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large detail glower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the large solid flower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the detailed image. I stamped the leaves from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set around the flower in Lemon Lime Twist Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship Thanks

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on the downhill to the weekend.

Every once in a while, I open a stamp set and I find a surprise. I apparently stamped and cut a few flowers from a set and left them in with the stamp set. When I found them, I thought I’d get a quick card made with them. A quick reminder, the colors I used, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent, are 2 of the 2021-2023 In-Colors that will be retiring in April. If these are colors that you like, now is a good time to stock up on the In-colors before they are gone. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Friendship Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship Cling Stamp Set along with the coordinating Flowers & Leaves Punch and the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Friendship Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the stemmed flower image from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the die cut panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On strips of Basic White cardstock, I stamped multiple large and small flower and leaf images from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Flowers & Leaves Punch. I adhered the flowers together using Glue Dots. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the stamped panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a Pale Papaya 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the flower center.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pale Papaya mat and a Soft Succulent mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Basic White card base. I had 1 more set of the stamped and punched flowers from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set and Flowers & Leaves Punch that I adhered over the center flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap. I colored the images in using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Desert Details for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #186 is Holiday Gatherings.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Bundle along with the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the colors for my clean & layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #186.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delicate Desert DSP to a Cajun Craze card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper across the layers using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Desert Details stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the flower image. I cut the image out using the Desert Details Dies. Using the Desert Details Dies, I cut 2 of the aloe die from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I adhered the aloe to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower over the aloe using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Gold Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Desert Details stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Desert Details stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a strip of Delicate Desert DSP on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large flower image from the Desert Details stamp set on the envelope front in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans this weekend? I have the weekend off, YAY! Tonight, I will be attending virtually our Creativity Now Event. All the cards we will be making will be featuring the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle. I’m looking forward to just having fun stamping online with other demonstrators. I’ll be showing the cards we will be making over the next week.

Today’s card is one that we made at our Mystery Stamping this past Tuesday at our Team Stamping Studio. Mystery stamping is always a lot of fun. Our Upline Jaimie give us cardstock and DSP measurements and talks us through putting it together. All of our cards are similar, but different. Here’s what I came up with for my card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Bundle along with the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Sweet Sorbet mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Basket Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the basket, butterfly, cat and craft supply image from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Orchid Oasis, Pale Papaya, Parakeet Party, Polished Pink, Smoky Slate, Soft Suede, Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using my Full Basket Dies. I adhered the images on the sentiment panel the way I wanted them using Glue dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cat image from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly and cat images from the Cheerful Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Tea Boutique DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Oceanfront Sympathy

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Happy June!! Here we go starting another month and I feel like I’ve missed most of May. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. It’s supposed to cool off a little here over the next few days. When I got in my car yesterday to fun some errands, the temp said it was 101. That was with my card in the shade. I believe today is only supposed to hit 75 out.

Today’s card is one of those cards you don’t really like to make, but at times have to. Someone very dear and close to me passed over the weekend. I have so many wonderful memories from my childhood. My uncle was a wonderful man, caring and generous. Our families used to go on vacation together every summer for 2-3weeks. We’d laugh till our sides hurt. He will be missed but will always be in my heart. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Oceanfront Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by stamping the wheat grass and sand images from the Oceanfront stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Sahara Sand card front. I embossed the card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Sahara Sand card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, using the Oceanfront stamp set, I stamped the top of the panel with Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the center image with Coastal Cabana Ink and the bottom image in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the wheat grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink and the small grass image in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Photopolymer Stamp Set on the top of the panel in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the panel using the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered the stamped panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink. Using my Banner Pick A Punch I cut the end of the strip. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Faux Sea Glass Shapes along the water edge.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink along the bottom of the panel. I stamped the wheat grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the bird image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the wheat grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom of the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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