Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Baby Girl Fun Fold

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off great. I’ll be having my Stamp Camp Card Class tonight. I’m looking forward to seeing the ladies and watching them make the cards I’ve designed. I have someone new coming tonight, but from what I was told, she’s a seasoned stamper. Now if I can just get the kits cut up before everyone gets here. I’m a little behind with getting certain things done this past week. I’m hoping to get myself caught up soon.

Today’s card is another one we made at our meeting on Sunday afternoon. This adorable card was designed by my awesome team member Tara Carpenter. Here’s the card for today.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamers Baby Girl Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Little Dreamers Baby Girl Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding the large and small card base. I adhered the 2 panels of Bright & Beautiful DSP and the panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to Berry Burst mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered Bright & Beautiful panels to the large Bubble Bath card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered Hello Irresistible panel to the small Bubble Bath card base. I adhered the small card base to the large card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue by lining up the bottom of both card bases and centering the small one with the large one. I adhered the back of the small card base to the back of the large card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the lion image from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image with Berry Burst and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image and 3 clouds using the Little Dreamers Dies. I stamped the sentiment from Charming Sentiments stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the Basic Whtie panel. I cut the sentiment out using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the lion image, a small cloud and the sentiment to the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the other 2 clouds using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few of the Tinsel Germs Four Pack to the small card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the small star image from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the corners of the panel and colored them using Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Berry Burst mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the lion image from the Little Dreamers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. i adhered a panel of 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.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Birthday

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in store. I’ll be at work all day today and not sure what I’ll be doing after work yet.

Today’s card someone asked me to make. There’s a little story behind it. She’s giving it to a friend that has 3 cats, Ivy, Maple and Willow. That will explain the designs on the images. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Willow Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Metallic & Shimmer Specialty Paper to a Basic White mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Cajun Craze card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the maple leaf image form the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Real Red Ink. I stamped the willow leaf image from the Willow Tree stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. Using the Full Basket Dies, I cut the maple leaf and willow leaves using the cat die. Using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder & Dies, I cut 2 panels of Garden Green cardstock. I adhered the ivy leaves to a panel of Garden Green cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the Garden Green panel using the cat die from the Full Basket Dies. Using the Sentiments Silhouettes Dies, I cut out 4 details candles from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut 4 solid candles from scraps of Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red cardstock using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I cut 4 flames from a scrap of Daffodil Delight cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the solid candles to the back of the detailed candles and the flames to the top of the candles using small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the candles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the cats to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the willow leaf image from the Willow Tree stamp set on the top of the panel in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the maple leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Real Red Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Metallic & Shimmer Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Fun Fold Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Can you believe it’s the middle of July already?? Has anyone made any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and Sunday.

Before I get started, today starts the Back To School Sales Tax Holiday. For those of you living in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia…you’ve got sales tax holidays coming up!! The good news is that some items in the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs qualify for the sales tax holidays!  The list of sales tax holidays by state and items in that state that qualify Here on a printable PDF of the

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set and the Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper.

I started by scoring and folding the Fresh Freesia card base as listed below. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Night of Navy mat. I adhered the layered panels to the Fresh Freesia card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the coordinating die from the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

I adhered 2 more panels of the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inside of the card base. I scored & folded 3 strips of Night of Navy cardstock. I adhered the 6 square panels of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inner 2 sections of the strips using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the strips to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the 2 outside sections of the Night of Navy strips lining the center fold up with the fold line of the card base. I fussy cut multiple butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP using my Paper Snips. I adhered the butterflies to the inside of the card base using Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the top of a Basic White Panel. I stamped the tall floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the floral image. I adhered 2 of the fussy cut butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card.

Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle and the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week, the 2022-2024 In-Colors.

I started by adhering the largest panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Starry Sky card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the longer thin panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the medium rectangle panel of Tea Boutique DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller rectangle panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the top of the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the 4th largest Layering Circles Die from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I embossed the panel using my Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a scalloped circle which I cut with the coordinating Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Tahitian Tide cardstock. I adhered the layered circles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Tahitian Tide cardstock. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder from the Basic Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Teacup Dies. I adhered the teacup to the center of the layered circles using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the hearts using the Teacup Dies from a small panel of Sweet Sorbet cardstock. I adhered the hearts to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I stamped the sentiment in the same place on a panel of Sweet Sorbet cardstock in Starry Sky Ink. On the bottom of the Basic White panel, I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Sweet Sorbet mat, lining up the sentiment with the negative die cut area. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the teacup and teabag tag images from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the teacup in using my Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Cup of Tea stamp set in the tag in Starry Sky Ink. I drew a line using my Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker from the cup to the tag. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.
