Stampin’ Up! Christmas To Remember for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. I’m really looking forward to this weekend coming up. I’ll be heading to Georgia for the weekend for a crafting retreat with some of my team members. There will be lots of crafting, relaxing and eating going on.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photos are Harvest Bounty or Christmas Joy.  You get to pick which photo you want to work with, 182a or 182b. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Christmas To Remember 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas To Remember Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Freestyle Collage Card and I was inspired by the pine boughs and colors in the Christmas Joy photo #182b.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #182a or 182b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Christmas To Remember 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the Christmas Pinecone Dies and cutting the larger one from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock and the smaller one from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock. I cut the solid pinecone die from a panel of Early Espresso cardstock and the detailed pinecones from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Christmas To Remember 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Soft Succulent pine boughs to the Evening Evergreen pine boughs. I adhered the detailed pinecones to the solid pinecones. I adhered the layered pinecones to the pine boughs die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut panel to a Cherry Cobbler card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Christmas To Remember 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped the pine bough images from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink around the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I cut the side slits using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I threaded a piece of Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon through the slits on the die cut sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the ribbon to the back of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to an Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Christmas To Remember 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Christmas To Remember stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the pine bough images from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the Early Espresso card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine bough images from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink to the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are having a great weekend. I will only be working a half day today, so I’ll have the afternoon to do something. A couple of my cashiers needed off so I’m splitting the day with another cashier that worked with me yesterday.

Today’s card is very similar to one that I made on Thursday except I changed the direction, DSP and embellishments. I also used my least favorite color, but for some reason I really like it for fall cards. I never make 2 cards identical, but I will make them similar by changing direction and some of the components a bit. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Soft Suede mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Crushed Curry card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tree trunk image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the solid treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink over the branches. I stamped the detailed treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink over the Crushed Curry image. I cut the image our using the largest die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of Friendship Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out with the smaller die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. Using the same die, I cut a panel of Soft Suede cardstock. I cut the Soft Suede die cut in half and adhered it to the back of the sentiment making a small mat. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dot. I tied a knot with a piece of the Natural Finish 7/8″ Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using Glue Dots.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season To Remember

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope your week has started out great. I’ll be taking Coraline today for her last puppy shots YAY!! Now she’ll be able to play with other dogs and socialize with everyone.

I have a Christmas card for you today. I’m trying to get at least 1 done a week for now. Once we get a little closer I’ll start getting more done. I just can’t get into making them yet with it being in the upper 80’s & 90’s I’m just not feeling it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Season To Remember 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas To Remember Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from the Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #482.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Season To Remember 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 6 strips of cardstock (Evening Evergreen, Real Red and Soft Succulent) to a Painted Christmas DSP card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to an Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Season To Remember 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin' Up! Christmas Season To Remember 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the pine boughs under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Textural Elements on top of the pine boughs using Glue Dots. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

I stamped the pine bough image from the Christmas Season stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the stem image from the Christmas Season stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink and the berry image in Real Red Ink on top of the stem. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you weekend is going as planned. I’ll be at the dog bakery most of the day today.

I have a CAS card today using some of the new DSP from the July-December Mini Catalog and a new stamp set from the catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set along with the Lights Aglow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to a Brushed Metallic cardstock mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder from the Metallic Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the sentiment out using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered a length of the Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered 2 strips of the Brushed Metallic cardstock on the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s been hot and humid here still and I have no desire to be outside. I’ll be at the dog bakery today and since it’s been so hot, not many dogs have been coming in.

I had fun playing and building today’s card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge #567.

My colors are from Color Throwdown challenge #704. Although the colors don’t scream beachy, I made it work, I think.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Rustic Harvest DSP to a Crumb Cake card base. I cut 9 of the smallest circles from the Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut 9 of the smallest scalloped circles from the Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Basic Black cardstock. On the 5 Basic White circles I stamped the seaweed images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Mossy meadow Ink, one stamped full strength and one stamped off once on scrap paper. On the remaining 4 circles I stamped the 2 smallest seashell images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 9 Basic White circles to the 9 Basic Black scalloped circles using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered circles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered a piece of Black Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Classic Matte Dots by the sentiment and a couple Pearl Basic Jewels on 2 of the seashell circles.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the seaweed images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel, one stamped in full strength and the others stamped off once on scrap paper. I stamped the seashell image next to the seaweed in Crumb Cake Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the seaweed image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the seashell image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink next to the seaweed. I adhered a panel of the Rustic Harvest DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Paneled Christmas

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week has started out good. Stampin’ Up! has added some additional items that you can earn for FREE with orders beginning at $50 during Sale-a-bration!  You can see the new items Here.

Today’s card is similar to one I did a while back at our monthly mystery stamping. One of the ladies that comes to my Stamp Camp Card Class asked if we could make that card, but since I’m doing a Christmas in July theme, I adjusted it to that. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 1 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 2 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to a Garden Green card base. I stamped the pine boughs images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green and Soft Sea Foam on 3 panels of Basic White cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 3 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I embossed the 3 panels using my Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panels to Garden Green mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 3 layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 4 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Garden Green Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Seasonal Labels Dies. I threaded a piece of Garden Green ribbon from the Real Red and Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack through the ends of the die cut sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 5 creativestampiungdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pine bough images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green Ink first full strength, then again without reinking and the smaller image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Garden Green mat and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 6 creativestampiungdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine bough images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front first full strength, then again without reinking. I stamped the smaller pine bough image from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink below the larger pine bough image. I adhered a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Dahlia Days with Butterflies & Flowers Masks

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s been a wet one so far here and unfortunately, we got a bit of water inside this time. I’m done with the rain now, we need a long dry spell to happen. Our backyard is a sponge and when you walk the water splashes up. I worked all day yesterday and I have off today. I wasn’t sure why they gave me off Sunday again. Turns out I got a reminder that I have a team meeting and I must have requested off.

Today’s card I played with some retiring items again. Sometimes I just wish some of the things I like could stay on much longer. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dahlia Days Cling Stamp Set along with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks for my card today.

I started by placing the thin lined Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Mask on a Basic White panel and securing it with Post-It tape. I added Fresh Freesia Ink using my Blending Brush. I turned the mask and lining up the thick lined flower on top and added Fresh Freesia Ink using my Blending Brush. I did this twice on the panel moving my mask.

I stamped the leaves and sprig images from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flowers. I embossed the panel using my Tasteful Textures 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the front of a Baic White Thick card base.

I adhered a length of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon on the card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fresh Freesia Loose Flower Flourishes to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the Mask using Post-It tape and added Fresh Freesia Ink using my Blending Brush. I stamped the leaves and sprig images from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent 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 colored the flowers the same as I did for the card front on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. The Masks, Stamp Set and Embossing Folder will all be retiring and are only while supplies last. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season to Remember CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Has anyone started decorating yet? Have you started your holiday shopping? I’ve got a little of my decorating done and I got my baking shopping done. I also have quite a few gifts already, but I still have more to do.

Today’s card is another one that I stamped via zoom with my upline Jaimie last week. She designed a couple cards and we stamped together. It was really a lot of fun and I love her designs. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Christmas To Remember Cling Stamp Set along with the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to an Evening Evergreen card base.

On a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I embossed the panel using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the holly leaves from the Christmas Season stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink and the berries in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the holly and berries out using my Seasonal Labels Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and cut it our using my Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the holly and berries above the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Evening Evergreen 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the top of the envelope front. I adhered a strip of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas to Remember Tidings

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Only 2 more days until Turkey day and the official start of the Christmas season, YIKES!! Before you know it we’ll be saying Happy New Year.

Today’s card I made with my upline Jaimie on a zoom call last week. During our last Sale-a-bration in August she had a little challenge to ‘Go For The Gold’. Anyone who signed on a demonstrator, she was going to have a little celebration. I signed on someone new so we had zoom lunch together and stamped some cards together. I really had a lot of fun spending some time with her. The only thing that would have made it better was to be sitting with her in person and stamping. Today I’m sharing one of the cards we made together.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas To Remember Cling Stamp Set along with the Tiding of Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Sahara Sand card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Sahara Sand card base.

I adhered 4 strips of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the solid star using the Christmas Trimmings Dies from a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I cut the detailed star die using the Christmas Trimmings Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the detailed die to the Cherry Cobbler die using tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered the layered star to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Seasonal Labels Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tidings & Trimmings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the star image from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink by the sentiment. I adhered a strip of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Tidings of Christmas DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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!!
