Stampin’ Up! Under The Moon So Sincere

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends Happy Juneteenth!! Today is a special day, it’s my son’s 29th birthday. It’s hard to believe he’s 29 already, I feel like he was just a baby yesterday. I went to another graduation yesterday which was outside in the wonderful heat wave we’re having. As hot as it was, there was a breeze, so the heat didn’t feel too bad. It was my oldest niece’s son graduating yesterday and her daughter graduated Monday from 8th grade. It was so nice seeing her and the kids who I haven’t seen in a while. Afterwards we were able to catch up and chat for a bit.

I have another super quick card for you today where I let the DSP do most of the work. It’s one of my cashier’s birthday this week and she loves sailing. I always try to make cards for them having to do with something they like. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon So Sincere 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Under The Moon Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set and Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon So Sincere 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a Thoughtful Journey DSP card front, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the side of the panel.

I stamped the sailboat image from the Under the Moon stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink 2 times on the card front panel. I stamped the cloud image from the Under the Moon stamp set in Versamark Ink on the top of the panel. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! Under The Moon So Sincere 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Thoughtful Journey DSP card front to a Petunia Pop mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin Dimensionals. I added a few Online Exclusive, Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies and Birds to the card front.

I stamped the sailboat image from the Under the Moon stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the cloud image from the Under the Moon stamp set i Versamark Ink on the top of the panel. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.

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:

Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is anyone making plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day today and tomorrow. I had yesterday off for my daughter’s graduation. It was a very long day, my daughter had to be there by 7am so she had to catch the 5am train. My husband, son and I caught the 6:30am train. Taking the train was much easier than driving there since it wasn’t at the college itself. The guest speaker was Neil deGrasse Tyson an Acclaimed astrophysicist, who my daughter really likes. She’s all done and it’s on to work and her PHD.

Today’s card was a special one I made and had to hide it since it was for my daughter’s graduation. I had to pull out a lot of stamp sets for this card to get it exactly how I wanted it. Surprisingly with everything I used, it ended up being only Stamps, Ink & Paper (and a little gem). Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Cling Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Happy Little Things Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 1″ X 4″ panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the top 1 1/4″ section of the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4″ X 4″ panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″ Night of Navy card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Night of Navy card base, only on the bottom front 2 1/8″ section using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the books (3 times) and bird images from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the glasses image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Highland Heather Ink (because my daughter’s glasses are purple), on the bird. I colored the images using Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut all the images using Paper Snips. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Little Things stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the panel of Basic White and fussy cut it using Paper Snips. I adhered 2 stacks of books, the bird and sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Iridescent Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I stamped the outline sentiment from the Happy Little Things stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the 1″ X 4″ panel of Basic White. I colored it in using the Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the sentiment to the Boho Blue mat then to the 1 1/4″ scored section on the inside of the Night of Navy card base. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere and Lovely & Sweet stamp sets in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the book image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Boho Blue mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base,

I placed the fussy cut stack of books on top of the stamped stack of books using Stampin’ Dimensionals for the stopper of the easel card.,

Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View Graduation 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird and stack of books from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the glassed image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the bird. I colored the images using Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. Did you do anything fun this weekend? I hope all the mothers out there had an extra special day yesterday.

Today’s card I played with some Online Exclusive products along with some new DSP. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Fluffiest Friends Cling Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive So Sincere Cling Stamp Set along with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, To Market Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My colors for today are from the Color Throwdown Countdown Challenge #792

My design is from Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #646

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of To Market DSP to a Boho Blue card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Beige in half on a diagonal using the Paper Trimmer. I embossed the triangles using the Eyelet EF. I cut the panel of Boho Blue in half on a diagonal using the Paper Trimmer. I adhered the Basic Beige triangles to the Boho Blue triangles using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 layered triangles to the card front using Liquid Gue. On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the cat image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. I cut the image out using the 3rd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the image using Boho Blue, Pecan Pie and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the image to a Boho Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2023-2025 In-Color Opaque Sparkle Dot to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the flower image from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink along the bottom of the panel. I colored the flowers using Boho Blue and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Boho Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! fluffiest Friends Cat 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope, I stamped the cat and flower images from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of To Market DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Hooray for Honeycomb

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re already halfway through the week. It’s been a rainy one here in NJ so far. I know April showers bring May flowers, but with all the rain we had in March my flowers are drowning.

Stampin’ Up! has a couple new kits. When we were at OnStage last month, one of our prizes was one of the new kits. I’m not a kit person, but I put this one together (giving it a couple of my own touches) and it was a lot of fun. Here’s my cards for today.

This is everything that comes in the kit. It’s an all-inclusive kit. There are 3 of each design card in the kit.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

The sentiment was pre-stamped on the balloon. I adhered the balloon to the card front in the center of the other balloons using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a White Baker’s Twine bow and an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the balloon

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the balloon honeycomb to the center of the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

The kit comes with coordinating envelopes.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

The sentiment was pre-stamped on the banner, I just added the Granny Apple Green banner under the Basic White banner using Glue Dots then added the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

This card said to put the strawberry honeycomb on the front of the card. If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to mail it, so I put it on the inside. for the leafy part of the strawberry, I scored them in half so they would fold easily with the card. I stamped the sentiment from So Sincere stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the inside.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Another pretty coordinating envelope that came with the kit

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 8 creativestampingdesigns.com

The sentiments came pre-stamped on the clouds. I adhered the sunrays to the card front first using Glue Dots then added the clouds in front of the rays using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the larger cloud.

Stampin' Up! Hooray For Honeycomb Kit 9 creativestampingdesigns.com

I added the sun honeycomb to the center of the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment on the inside in Blueberry Bushel Ink.

One more beautiful coordinating envelope that came with the kit.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and might be thinking about getting this kit. These cards are great for the end of the school year, if you have someone graduating or you just want to give that little card of encouragement. I had these 3 cards together in about 15 minutes even with adding my little extras. Happy Stamping!!

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

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! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine Card

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started off well.

Today’s card is a sneak peek at a new set coming on May 1st. I needed to make a CAS card for the beginner class that I’m doing next month and I thought this one would be perfect. 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! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my CAS card today.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a Very Vanilla card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set on the top of the card front in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I took another small piece of Pecan Pie Bordered Ribbon and tied a knot around the ribbon. I adhered the layered card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Back Cork Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the tree image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Loveliest Tree stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree CAS Masculine 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like this card and this set will be on your wish list. It comes as a bundle with dies and it’s perfect for those masculine cards. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be at work all day Saturday and then we have out quarterly team meeting in person on Sunday. I love those meetings; we get to stamp together and chat for a bit and of course laugh.

Today’s card I was planning on doing on my live on Wednesday afternoon, but my contractor had other plans. After waiting 5 months for him to come replace doors in my craft studio and around the house, he thought Wednesday was the perfect day.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Meadow Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I then cut the leaf die from the Meadow Dies from the center of the Basic White panel. Using my Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker, I flicked specks on the die cut panel.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the left front of a Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the DSP card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the leaf stem using a Glue Dot. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the right front of the Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink 2 times on the bottom of the panel, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the side of the panel. I blended the flowers using a Blender Pen to spread the color a little. I flicked a little ink using my Starry Sky Stamp’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope front in Starry Sky Ink twice, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink over the script image. I blended the flowers using my Blender Pen. I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Birthday

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

I pulled out a bundle from the2023-2024 Annual Catalog today to play with and I went out of my comfort zone by making a yellow card. As most of you know, I’m not a fan of the color yellow and I have to force myself to use it. I have to admit that I do like this yellow though. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using the Cheerful Daisies Dies and cutting the largest die and the 3 detailed dies from a panel of Lemon Lolly. I adhered the detailed dies to the large die using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut daisies to a Lemon Lolly card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Cheerful Daisies Dies. I adhered a piece of Lemon Lolly 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack to the card front using Stampin’ Seal in a ‘Z’. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using the Cheerful Daisies Dies I cut the daisy, stem and leaves from a panel of Basic White. I adhered the daisy layers together and adhered it next to the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lemon Lolly mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the daisy center in Pecan Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper first, inside the daisy.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Rose for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US. I hope you will be enjoying a nice dinner with friends and family. This year we will be having a very quiet Thanksgiving with just my daughter, husband and me. I hope you will take a moment to remember those that cannot be with their families and friends and those that are not as fortunate as we are.

I started by adhering a panel of the Softly Stippled DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Berry Burst card baes using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Rose Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the rose leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Rose Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Basic White. I cut the panel using the Nested Essentials Dies. On another panel of Basic White, I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Rose stamp set by inking the stamp using Berry Burst and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut the rose out using the Stippled Rose Dies. Using the Stippled Rose Dies, I cut a panel of Mossy Meadow using the rose leaf die. I adhered the rose leaf to the stamped Basic White panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the rose image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Rose Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of berry burst using the same Nested Essentials Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stippled Rose stamp set in Versamark Ink on the panel. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I randomly stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Rose stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the Berry Burst panel. I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the rose panel over the sentiment panel using Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White.

I stamped the small rose image from the Stippled Rose stamp set in Berry Burst Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! So Sincere 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 Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set along with the Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder and the gorgeous Meandering Meadows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. This DSP will be available as an Online Exclusive starting on November 7th.

Here is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Meandering Medows DSP card front to a Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Fresh Freesia, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I embossed a strip of Petal Pink using the Painted Textures 3D EF.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Fresh Freesia strip to the Petal Pink strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of Melon Mambo to the Fresh Freesia strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered strips to the card front using Stampin’; Dimensionals. I added Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of the Meandering Meadows DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Stampin' Up! So Sincere CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Meandering Meadows DSP to the envelope front. I embossed a panel of Fresh Freesia using the Painted Textures 3D EF and adhered it 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! Rustic Crate Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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