Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going as planned. I’m off today, but I’m not sure yet what I’ll be doing. I may tackle another one of my gardens if it’s nice enough out.

Today I played with another bundle that will be coming in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. This one I had a lot of fun playing with. There are images and dies for things I use every day to make my cards along with other crafting items. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Bundle along with the new Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and some of the new colors coming soon. All the items used for today’s card will be available starting May 2nd from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

I started by adhering a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Lemon Lime Twist mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered another panel of the Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Lemon Lime Twist mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the larger layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front panel to a Berry Burst card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 3rd largest die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the right side. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine image from the Crafting With You stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the image out using the Crafting With You Dies.

Using the Crafting With You Dies, I cut the paper trimmer and ruler from a panel of Gray Granite cardstock. I cut the scissors from a panel of Silver Foil and Basic Black cardstock. I snipped the scissor handles off the Basic Black die and adhered them to the Silver Foil die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I put the scissors together using a Glue Dot. I added a Festive Pearl in the center of the scissors. I fed a piece of Bright & Beautiful DSP through the trimmer. I adhered the cutting blade die to the trimmer using a Glue Dot. I adhered the ruler die to the trimmer die using a Glue Dot. I adhered all the die cut images to the sentiment panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a piece of the Lemon Lime Twist 1/8″ Ribbon from the Ribbon Combo Duo to the top of the panel using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Crafting With You stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Bright & Beautiful DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat then to the inside of the Berry Burst card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine image from the Crafting With You stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Bright & Beautiful 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.

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 Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

Stampin' Up! Dainty delight Spring 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Country Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Photopolymer Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Easter Bunny Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our Theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Dainty delight Spring 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Country Gingham DSP to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Dainty delight Spring 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the swish image from the Season of Chic stamp set in So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron Inks. I stamped the flower image from the Dainty Delight stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I adhered the artwork to a Blushing Bride mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a So Saffron mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack around the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Rhino Ready Birthday

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well.

Today’s card is one that we made last Sunday at our quarterly team meeting. The card was designed by one or my team members Tara Carpenter. This was a lot of fun to make. The bundle we used for this card is an Online Exclusive product. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Thino Ready Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rhino Ready Bundle along with Scalloped Contours Dies and Like An Animal Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Thino Ready Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Like An Animal DSP to a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. Using Post-It Note tape, I taped off all 4 sides of the die along the dotted lines. Using the Blending Brushes I added Daffodil Delight Ink on the top, Mango Melody Ink in the center and Pumpkin Pie Ink on the bottom.

Stampin' Up! Thino Ready Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Rhino Ready Dies, I cut the tree trunk from the panel of Soft Suede, grass from the Granny Apple Green and treetop from the scrap of Awash In Beauty DSP. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the adorable rhino and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Rhino Ready Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the rhino out using the Rhino Ready Dies and the sentiment using the Something Fancy Dies. I colored the rhino using the Gray Granite and Ivory Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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! Butterfly Brilliance Hello

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s been cold and breezy here, but it says it’s supposed to be a little warmer today. We’ll see. I’ll be at the dog bakery all afternoon hopefully giving those good puppies treats.

Today’s card is one that we will be making at my card class this coming Tuesday. I don’t think I’ve made any cards using the Polished Pink cardstock. I’ve used it for a mat, but not the main card. So, this was a little out of my comfort zone, but I was happy with the results. I did change the colors for the ladies to use on Tuesday. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set along with the Scalloped Contours Dies, Brilliant Wings Dies and Stitched With Whimsy Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the Stitched With Whimsy Die on a Polished Pink card front and running it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the card front to a Polished Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I used my Polished Pink Stampin’ Write Marker and flicked color over the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the Basic Black scalloped mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I cut the image using the Brilliant Wings Dies. Using the Brilliant Wings Dies, I cut the coordinating detail butterfly from a panel of Polished Pink cardstock. I adhered the detailed butterfly to the Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stamped butterfly over the detailed using Stampin’ Dimensionals and fluffed the wings.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the butterfly. I adhered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 3 Black Matte Dots to the butterfly body and a couple 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Go To Greetings stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat then to the inside of the Polished Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Polished Pink Ink.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works. Once again, I’ll be at work all day today.

I have a quick card for you today using a bundle from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain Bundle along with the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper and the Scallop Contours Dies for my card today.

I joined in with the Inspired. Create. Challenge #137, the Theme is Spring Time. It usually rains in the Spring for Summer flower.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Rain or Shine DSP to a Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment and bunny image from the Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the cloud image from the Playing In The Rain stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the same panel. Using my Playing In The Rain Dies, I cut the bunny and cloud images out. For the bunny, I cut it partially our with the die and fussy cut the puddle using my Paper Snips. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest Scallop Contours Dies.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I colored the bunny image using my Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the bunny to the bottom of the card front using Stampn’ Dimensionals. I adhered the clouds and sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Playing In The Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bunny image from Playing In The Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the cloud image from the Playing In The Rain stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel and the rain drops in Balmy Blue Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from Playing In The Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the rain drop image in Balmy Blue Ink. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Amazing Year for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are ready for the weekend. Looks like we’ve got 6 more weeks of winter coming to us, the groundhog saw his shadow yesterday. I don’t know how it is by you, but it’s supposed to be cold here this weekend.

I have a quick fun fold for you today. This is not what I was planning on making Wednesday when I got stuck at work later than usual. I had everything planned out that I was going to be done with work by 1:30/2:00, I’d get home and get everything set up and be ready to go. My bills had other plans for me. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Year Cling Stamp Set from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog along with the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting 2 3/4″ off the front of the card base leaving 2 3/4″. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Timeworn Type 3d Embossing Folder. Using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker, I flicked some ink on the panel to give a splattered look. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Amazing Year stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored just the flowers using my sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut a panel of Sweet Sorbet cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered the artwork to the die cut panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I tied a double bow using the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack and adhered it to the floral image using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock, I stamped the sentiments from the Amazing Year stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the top of the floral image from the Amazing Year stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored just the flowers using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Amazing Year stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers only using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Perfectly Penciled 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! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday afternoon my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I’m a little late today, but better late than never. We are 2 days away from Christmas, are you all ready. I have a couple dinner/dessert preps to take care of later today. If I haven’t bought it yet, it’s not getting bought. Between my husband and daughter, they are taking card of most of the wrapping. I’m having a lot of trouble with my shoulder again and I can’t lift my arm at all. 3rd time the rotator cuff has torn, and they don’t know if they can fix it yet. Luckily that doesn’t affect my card making LOL. Making cards I only really move the bottom of my arm and don’t really have to do much lifting and if I do that’s what my left arm is for.

I have a super simple fun fold today using products from the Annual Catalog and a set coming in the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Decorative Borders Photopolymer Stamp Set (available Jan 5, 2023) and the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Design A Daydream Host Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the front panel of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 3rd largest Scallop Contours Dies. I stamped the flower image from the Decorative Borders stamp set along the bottom of the die cut panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the Happy from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink over the Happy. I colored the flower image using my Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut panel to the left side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only of the left side of the panel. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems (available Jan 5, 2023) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the right side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Decorative Borders stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink on an angle. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron & So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Biggest Wish 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the border flower image from the Decorative Borders stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as for the card. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. By the time you read this I should be in flight to Jacksonville, Florida for our OnStage event. To say that I’m excited doesn’t even touch what I’m feeling. This is the first time we’re all able to get together for an event since the beginning of Covid. I’m so looking forward to meeting up with my team members for dinners, laughs and talking. I also can’t wait to share things with all of you, so stay tuned.

Today I made a quick Z-Fold card for you using a set from the Annual Catalog. This is another one of my go-to folds when I want that card with the extra WOW factor. I just love the tree image from this set. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Z Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Santa Express Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Z Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 panels of Santa Express DSP to Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the front of the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Z Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tree image from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the detailed tree image from Trimming The Tree stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the image out using the Scalloped Contours Dies. On the top of the die cut panel, I stamped the sentiment from Trimming The Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the panel. I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the tree.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Z Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2nd layered panel to the back inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Z Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I adhered a strip of Santa Express DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Z Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Trimming The Tree stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Santa Express DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Birthday

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week has started off good. It’s cooling down here today. We actually got about 5 minutes of rain at midnight. Not enough to water lawns and flowers, but it’s a start lol.

Today I have a quick birthday card for you. I’m thinking about maybe getting started with some of my Christmas cards tomorrow. It’s just so hot I haven’t been able to think Christmas. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set along with the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to an Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Abigail Rose DSP using the 2nd largest Scalloped Contours Dies. I colored 1 of the flowers on the cut panel using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to a Crumb Cake mat.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of the Natural 1/2″ Woven Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a knot. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from Cottage Rose stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Cottage Rose Stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Cottage Rose stamp set on the side of the panel in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Crumb Cake mat and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

Stampin’ Up! Amazing Artfully Layered

Posted on by
2

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. It’s April 30th and tomorrow is May 1st, that means I work in the office both days. Well, I was supposed to. One of my cashiers called me last night sick, so I’ll be opening today and running a register until another one can get in. Today was going to be a nice easy day, I was going in around noon to get my work done and come home. I’ll now be in early, my cashier said she may not be in until 2-3pm, so I’ll be there till 5pm I guess. I’ll probably take Monday off, but I haven’t decided yet.

I can’t believe we’re at the end of the month again. That means we’re even closer to warmer weather, but better than that, we’re only 3 days away from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog going live YAY!!! Are you getting those shopping lists ready? Mine is 2 pages long. If you have a long list, you might want to be reading the special going on starting May 3rd. All the details are below.

Today’s card was made for someone very special, my upline Jaimie. She just earned the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip and hit a big milestone, she is truly amazing. My card has very little stamping today. I used Designer Series Paper and dies. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Cling Stamp Set along with the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Artfully Composed DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White card stock using the 3rd largest die from the Scalloped Contour Dies. I adhered a panel of Artfully Composed DSP to the die cut panel. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From a panel of Basic White cardstock I cut the smaller detailed sentiment dies from the Amazing Thanks Dies. From a panel of Just Jade cardstock I cut the bubble sentiment dies from the Amazing Thanks Dies. I adhered the Basic White detailed to the Just Jade bubble die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small leaf image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the script image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the leaf image twice. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Artfully Composed DSP 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 large leaf image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the script image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the leaf image twice. I stamped the sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the leaf and script. I adhered a panel of the Artfully Composed 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!!
