Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Banners

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. We have switched to beautiful weather here in NJ. We went from the 90’s last week down to the 70’s this week. It’s a fall tease before the temps go back up.

I played with the new bundle from the Online Exclusives coming in September today. I am loving all these new products so much already and I haven’t gotten everything yet. 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! Gathering Moments Banners 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives Gathering Moments Bundle and Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper (both available Sept 3rd), along with the Party Banner Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments Banners 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to a Cajun Craze mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic Beige card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments Banners 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the 8th largest Party Banners Dies, cut 2 panels of Gathering Together DSP. Adhere the banners together using Glue Dots. Adhere the banners to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments Banners 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the larger leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set in Basic Beige Ink. Stamp the smaller leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the panel. Stamp the acorn image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink 2 times on the same panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Versamark Ink on the larger leaf image. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the images out using the Gathering Moments Dies. Make a multi-loop bow using the Old Olive Linen Thread from the Early Espresso & Old Olive Linen Thread Pack (available Sept 3rd). Cut a piece of 3/8″ Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon so you have the gold edge to tie off the bow to give it a gold touch. Adhere the bow to the card front with a Glue Dot. Adhere the leaves and acorn to the card front over the bow, with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add an Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gem to the sentiment.

Stamp the larger leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Basic Beige Ink on the top of the panel. Stamp the smaller leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the top of the panel and the acorn image in early Espresso Ink. Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin’ Up! Lifetime of Love

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans for the weekend in the work. I actually have off today. I’ll be spending the day celebrating my son and his fiancé at their engagement party. They are making a whole day of it at this quaint brewery. They wanted to keep it simple since that’s who they are. It will be a whole day of everyone coming and going and just getting together to celebrate and meet each other. We took care of ordering A LOT of pizzas. My daughter made about 80 cupcakes yesterday and they came out beautiful. I made caprese appetizer bites using my home-grown tomatoes and basil with a balsamic glaze. I’m looking forward to a fun day meeting everyone and it looks like the weather is going to cooperate with us.

So, since we have an engagement party, my daughter asked me if I would make a card for her to give them. That’s today’s card in the theme colors of the party. 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! Lifetime of Love Engagement 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lifetime of Love Cling Stamp Set along with the Lifetime of Love Dies, Party Banner Dies, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Beautiful Bokeh 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love Engagement 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the banner to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. On the panel of Basic White, stamp the small flower image from Lifetime of Love stamp set in early Espresso Ink. Color the image with Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love Engagement 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

As of last night, July 18th, we’re at $180 of the $500 to be donated. We can Do this!!!

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

  • For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.
    • You’ll earn your Creative Stamping Designs Rewards with all order of $50 or more (before tax & shipping).
    • Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

OR…

2. – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Mercury One at this LINK

  • For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Mercury One and you’ll be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be give away on July 20th.

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

  • If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses.  Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine.

NOTE: Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight Eastern Time on Saturday July 19 to be entered to win the machine.  One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Sunday July 20th from all of the entries received.

Any questions, please send me an email to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com. I appreciate your help more than I can express.
