I started by using the largest die from the Light The Sky Dies and cut a Stargazing DSP card front. I stamped 2 of the firework images from the Stampin’ Up! Light The Sky Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the panel. I sprinkled them with Copper Embossing Powder and set them using the Heat Tool.

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! Autumn Leaves

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. Today starts the BIG Last Chance Product Sale. You’re going to want to RUN not walk to get those items from the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog before they are gone for good.

Today’s card is one that was designed by a team member Pete that came to the retreat with us. It’s a beautiful fall card, but unfortunately the DSP is no longer available. You can make this into a beautiful spring card by using the Meandering Meadow DSP or a winter card by using the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Copper Clay using the Leaf Fall 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the left side of the Copper Clay card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of Rose Gold Spec Paper to the Copper Clay card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the panel of All About Autumn DSP to the card front overlapping the Rose Gold strip, using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From scraps of the All About Autumn DSP, I cut some of the leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered the leaves to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Blooming Pearl to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. I cut a couple leaves from scraps of All About Autumn DSP and adhered them to the top of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Copper Clay mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.
