Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Are you all rested up from the holiday and new year’s festivities? I’m still a little mixed up with my days.

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

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.

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.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts.

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 that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Caring Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Deckled Circle Dies and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean & Layered card. I was inspired by the pumpkins in the photo along with the overall rustic feel of the photo, the colors and of course the gingham.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 210.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Christmas

Good Monday morning stamping friends welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? I can’t believe we’re halfway through the month of October already.

I have a quick Christmas card for you today using a sketch I’ve never used before. 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! Rustic Crate Christmas 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set, Joy Of Christmas Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #607.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Christmas 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Christmas 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Very Best Occasions stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the holly and pine bough using Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the sentiment to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Christmas 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the poinsettia image from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink 2 times. I colored the images using Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using the Rustic Crate Dies. I adhered the poinsettias above and below the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Christmas 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Joy of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Christmas 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the poinsettia image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas 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.

This week we have Theme Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pretty Peacock card front using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the card front to a Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 3 panels of All About Autumn DSP on an angle and adhered them to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Calypso Coral, Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Moody Mauve, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Rustic Crate Dies. I adhered the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Moody Mauve, I cut the sentiment using the Rustic Crate Dies and adhered it to the card front. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope flap and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

I adhered the Basic Whtie Panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

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! Rustic Crate

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you were able to have the day off yesterday. I had Sunday and yesterday off. I was able to get a little of my fall cleaning done and have time to go in my craft room. I was able to get all my card kits cut up and ready for my class tonight. I’m hoping the ladies like the cards we’re going to make. My husband had some friends over in the afternoon and evening, and we had a little BBQ both days.

I had fun making today’s card. It was like a puzzle, which I love to do. Would you like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card? You can see it Here on my Instagram reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Buncle along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing 2 panels of Crushed Curry and 2 panels of Pumpkin Pie using the Leaf Fall 3D EF. I adhered the panels to an Old Olive mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Rustic Crate Dies I cut the sentiment and crate from panels of Pecan Pie, the brackets from a scrap of Rose Gold Specialty Paper, the gloves from a panel of Old Olive and the glove tops from a scrap of Very Vanilla.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I cut the image our using the Rustic Crate Dies. I colored the image using Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the sunflower using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and Crushed Curry Ink. I adhered the brackets to the crate using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. I adhered the glove tops using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the colored image to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the crate over the colored image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiments and gloves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from So Sincere stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card front. I embossed a panel of Old Olive using the Leaf Fall 3D EF and adhered it to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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