Stampin’ Up! Sophisticate Sled for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Did everyone have a nice 4th? It was a very relaxing day here at our house. My niece came over in the morning with her dog and we went out walking for a few miles with the dogs. By the time we got home they were both hot and exhausted. Here’s a picture of what Coraline did after her walk. Smart pup, laid down right in front of the fan.

A few of my husband’s friends came over in the afternoon and we barbequed hamburgers and wings. I was even able to get a little crafting time in for myself. All was good here until the fireworks started going off all around out area. Coraline does not do well with them at all. I even gave her a calming treat, which only helped for a short time. She was a very nervous puppy. Gidget on the other hand had no clue what was going on.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Bundle along with the Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Misty Moonlight panel and scored the Basic White panel. I carefully folded the card base in half on the score lines. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the scored panel of Moody Mauve using Liquid Gue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Moody Mauve panel and scored the DSP panel. I carefully folded the panel in half on the score lines. I folded the 2 sides back on the side score lines and adhered it to the card base, lining up the center score line on the layered panel with the score line on the card base, using Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Take the 2 1″ X 1″ scored pieces and fold them in half. Adhere them to the DSP lining up the folded edged with the score line of the DSP using Tear & Tape. Cut the Misty Moonlight panel using the 3rd largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Emboss the circle using the Snowflake Sky EF. Adhere the die cut circle to the 2 folded pieces using Tear & Tape. Using the Sophisticated Sled Dies, cut the skates from a panel of Basic White, laces from a panel of Moody Mauve and the blades from a panel of Silver Foil paper. Adhere the blades to the bottom of the skates using Liquid Glue. Insert the laces to the skates and add a couple Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to hold them in place. Adhered a piece of 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim to the back of the skates using Glue Dots. Tie a bow with another piece on the top. Adhere the skates to the embossed circle. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the Basic White panel. Fold the ends on the score lines. Using a Bone Folder, curve the back of the layered panel. Adhered the layered panel to the bottom of the card base using Tear & Tape.

Here is a top view of how it should look.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, stamp the sentiment from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Misty Moonlight Ink. Stamp the skates’ image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on the other panel of Basic White in Pebbled Path Ink. Color the image using Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the snowflake image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the image and sentiment. Adhered the Basic White panels to Moody Mauve mat then to the back of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the skates’ image form the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Pebbled path Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate Stampin Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. I’ll be starting all my Christmas cookie baking tomorrow bright and early. I’ll be mixing and baking all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I’m hoping to finish up Saturday early afternoon, but we’ll see what happens.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #202 is Christmas Cheer. 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.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees with Bows 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the overall theme of the photo along with the colors for my Clean and Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 202.  How are you inspired by the photos?

I started by embossing a Winter Meadow DSP card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the card front panel to a Real Red mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the detailed tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the tree out with the 2nd frmo the largest tree from the Merriest Trees Dies. On the same panel of Basic White, I stamped the bow image from the Merriest Trees stamp set multiple times in Real Red Ink. I cut the bows out using the Merriest Trees Dies. I adhered the tree to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the die cut bows to the tree using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees with Bows 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the star from the panel of Basic White using the Stars At Night Dies. I adhered the star to the top of the tree using Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the Basic White panel. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered a piece of 1/4″ Real Red Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front and star.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees with Bows 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bow image from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Real Red Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Winter Meadow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Pebbled path card base.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees with Bows 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the detailed tree image from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Versamark Ink on the envelope front. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the bow image from the Merriest Trees stamp set on the tree in Real Red Ink. I adhered a panel of Winter Meadow 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.

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

I’m planning on going live today on my YouTube Channel at 4pm ET. I’m planning on using some of the new products from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. I hope you can join me for today’s card.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 15th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Made from Scraps

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s going to be a very rainy day here in NJ. I have to work at the dog bakery today, then tonight my husband bought me tickets for my birthday for a concert. I am so excited and looking forward to going.

Today’s card is one that we made last Sunday at our quarterly meeting. This card was designed by one of my team members Mary Deatherage. It’s a great way to use up those scraps of DSP that you have around and don’t know what to do with. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees from Scraps 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees from Scraps 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the Merriest Trees Dies and cutting the largest tree from the 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″ panel of Basic White. I embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF. I placed the embossed panel on top of the 4″ X 5 14″ mat and lightly traced the tree with a pencil.

I randomly adhered the strips of Merry Bold & Bright DSP to the traced tree using Liquid Glue. You can place these strips straight or on an angle, however you prefer. Once the tree was completely covered, I trimmed off any excess using Paper Snips. I adhered the die cut embossed panel over the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Glue Dot and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a Gold Foil star using the Merriest Trees Dies. I adhered the star using Liquid Glue to the top of the tree.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the star image from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on top of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the top of the tree image from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the detailed tree image from the Merriest Trees over the solid image in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the star image from the Merriest Trees in Crushed Curry Ink on top of the tree. I adhered a panel of Merry Bold & Bright DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Saturday was busy at work so the day went pretty quick. Sunday here in NJ was rain, rain, rain. It was a great day to stay in and decorate, which I did a little of in the morning. We had our quarterly team meeting yesterday, which was in person. I always love getting together with my team members, they are all the nicest people you would ever want to know. There’s a little bit of business for the meetings, then it’s time to stamp, chat, laugh and just have a great time.

Today’s card is one that I presented yesterday at out meeting and others stamped along. There were 3 of us presenting and we used a bundle that is carrying over from the September – December Mini Catalog. 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! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle along with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. All of these items will be carrying over which I’m so happy about.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Winter Meadow DSP card front to a Misty Moonlight mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Merriest Trees Dies, I cut the largest and 2nd largest tree from a panel of Basic White. I cut the largest tree again using the 3rd largest and smallest tree die. I cut the 2nd largest tree again using the 4th largest tree die.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed all the tree pieces using the Snowflake Sky EF. Using a Sponge Dauber, I sponged some Misty Moonlight Ink along the bottom edges of each piece. To assemble the tree, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals only along the bottom edges. I stamped the tree trunk image from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink on the panel of Basic White. I cut the trunk out using the Merriest Trees Dies. I adhered the trunk to the back of the tree using a Glue Dot. I adhered the tree to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon and adhered it to the top of the tree using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of Winter Meadow DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Winter Meadow DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stsampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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. 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 using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Circles Dies and Online Exclusive One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

I played along with Just Us Girls CAS Challenge Week In A Circle #707.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I scored & folded a Basic White card front at 1/2″ & 1″ on both sides. I cut the center out with the 7th largest Deckled Circles Dies. I then embossed the card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered Tear & Tape to either side of the card front on the 1/2″ section and adhered it to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment form the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I cut the sentiment out using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Online Exclusive Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentient from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the snowflake image from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the panel, some stamped full strength and some stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered the panel of Basic White to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the snowflake image from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Winter Biggest Wish & Designer Series Paper Shares Open

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all doing well today and your week has started off good. I normally don’t work on Tuesday’s, but I’ll be working all day today at the dog bakery.

A couple weeks ago we had our monthly stamping studio. After the business part we did a little mystery stamping. It’s always so much fun to see how everyone’s card comes out. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 1 creativestampindesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 2 creativestampindesigns.com

I started by embossing a Lost Lagoon card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 3 creativestampindesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Winter Meadow DSP to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Lost Lagoon card base on an angle using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Magic DSP to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front on an opposite angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 4 creativestampindesigns.com

On a panel of Pretty Peacock, I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set is with the Heat Tool. I cut the 2 – 1″ squares into banners using Paper Snips. I adhered the banners to the back of the sentiment using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive=Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 5 creativestampindesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Biggest Wish stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Winter Meadow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 6 creativestampindesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Winter Meadow DSP to the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Magic DSP to the envelope flap.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you $108.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 15th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6
  • Poetic Expressions – 6
  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

Stampin’ Up! Above It All Fun Fold

Today’s card was one we made at the retreat and was designed by Joan Siler. One good thing about making some of the cards we made, if they are stamp sets you don’t have this is a great way to try them out. I didn’t think I was going to like the set she used, but I was wrong. It’s so much fun to play with, guess another one going on my list.

Stampin' Up! Above It All Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Above It All Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Forest Cling Stamp Set, Joy Of Christmas Designer Series Paper and the Snowflake Sky 3d Embossing Folder for my card today. I started by scoring a panel of Joy of Christmas DSP at 2″ & 4″ on each side. I measured up 2 3/4″ from the bottom of each side and made a little pencil mark. I cut from the pencil mark to the 4″ score line on an angle on each side using my Paper Trimmer.

Stampin' Up! Above It All Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed 2 panels of Basic White using the Snowflake Sky EF. I cut 1 panel 2 3/4″ up from the bottom left to the top right corner and the other 2 3/4″ up from the bottom right up to the top left corner using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the panels to the front folded panels using Liquid Glue. I cut multiple of the snow die from the Above It All Dies from a panel of Basic White. I adhered them to the front panel and trimmed them using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Above It All Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the larger and smaller trees from the Stampin’ Up! Above It All Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the trees out using the Above It All Dies. I cut the medium tree from the Above It All Dies from a panel of Shaded Spruce. I adhered the trees using Stampin’ dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Above It All Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped a panel of Basic White using the Fragrant Forest stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the Joy of Christmas card base. I embossed 2 more panels of Basic White using the Snowflake Sky EF. I cut the panels using the Paper Trimmer 1 panel 4″ up from the bottom left to the top right corner and the other 4″ up from the bottom right to the top left corner. I adhered the panels to the inside of the card base. I adhered the die cut pieces of snow to the bottom of the panels. I stamped the sentiments from the Above It All stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink and fussy cut them using Paper Snips. Joan had all the pieces of the gondola and track cut out for us. We just had to assemble it and adhere it to the inside of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Above It All Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from Above It All stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Winter Owl

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going well. I’ll be at work all day today. I do have a team meeting via zoom today that I am planning on hoping onto while I’m at work. Hopefully it won’t be too busy so I can.

I have another card that we made at the retreat last weekend. Today’s card was designed by our team leader Amy Koenders. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Winter Owl 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

The sentiments used for today’s card are from the Stampin’ Up! Winter Owl Cling Stamp Set. This is another set that I haven’t purchased yet but I may be seeing it in the very near future. I also used the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Bundle along with the Winter Magic Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Winter Owl 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Smoky Slate card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Smoky Slate card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Winter Meadow DSP using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Winter Owl 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Winter Owl stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Basic White. I sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the longer narrow Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut the sprig from a panel of Silver Foil using the Magical Meadow Dies. I adhered the sprig using a Glue Dot to the card front. I adhered the sentiment over the artwork and sprig using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Faceted Gem Trio Pack to the card front and Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Winter Owl 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Winter Owl stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. I embossed the bottom of the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the Basic white panel to a Baic Gray mat then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

Stampin' Up! Winter Owl 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Winter Meadow DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you all ready for the weekend? Does anyone have any plans yet? I have off tomorrow for our Virtual OnStage @ Home event. So, I’ll be sitting in front of my computer from 11am-5pm.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Suite, Radiating Stitches Dies and Garden Meadow Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. For the main front panel, I scored and folded a panel of Basic White Thick cardstock at 1/2″ & 1″ on either side. I cut the center of the panel out using the arch from the Garden Meadow Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White, I cut 3 sets of the snowbanks using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the bunny image from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the image out using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I cut 2 trees from a panel of Early Espresso using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I adhered one of the trees to the outside of the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the other tree behind the arch to the inside of the panel. I adhered the snowbank dies to the bottom of the Basic White card front panel using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals, off centering them to give some dimension to the snow. I adhered the bunny between the snow using a Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to the Misty Moonlight card base using Tear & Tape, making sure to line up the sides evenly.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the larger circle from the Radiating Stitches Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a snowflake from the Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the bunny and snowbank image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink next to the trees. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Collage for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. By the time you read this I will either be in the air flying to Georgia for our retreat or I will have landed. I’m so looking forward to being away for a few days with my stamping friends and team members. 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! Magical Meadow Collage 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Bundle along with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Winter Meadow DSP card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Moody Mauve mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From panels of Blueberry Bushel, Lost Lagon, Misty Moonlight, Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock I cut the above # of dies from the Magical Meadow Dies. I adhered the berries to the Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock die cuts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the tops of the 2 Blueberry Bushel die cuts.

I arranged the die cuts the way I wanted them on the Winter Meadow DSP card front and adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I trimmed any stems that met in the center and needed to be trimmed using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Collage 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Cling Stamp Set in Moody Mauve Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies. I embossed the sentiment using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the card front over the stems using Stampin’ Dimensioanls.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the images from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock Inks on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock Inks on the envelope front and flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   BX4UV6HE

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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.
