Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set along with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper for my CAS card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Perennial Lavender DSP card front to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a smaller panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a strip of Perennial Lavender DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of Perennial Lavender DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Fun Fold

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

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the stem image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the stem image. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on top of the stem. I adhered a panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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.

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.,

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, 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.

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:   SMAQYYMJ

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!  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.
