Good Monday morning stamping friends. Welcome to a new week. I hope you all had a great holiday weekend.

Today’s card I really had fun making. I got the idea from my team leader Amy. 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! Sweet Jar Popsicles 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Jar Photopolymer Stamp Set along wit the So Swirly Embossing Folder, Full of Life 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper, Everyday Arches Dies, Country Woods Designer Series Paper, More Messages Dies and Pastel Ombre Glimmer Specialty Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #466

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #364.

Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Step Card for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Black Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? We had the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade on in the morning (a tradition for years), while I was making pies. Then we had our turkey dinner later on.

Today’s card was designed by my amazing team member Judi Hartbarger. I just LOVE this bundle and don’t use it as often as I’d like to. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Step Card 1 cretivestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sophisticated Sled Bundle along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, So Swirly Embossing Folder, Bright Skies Dies and Spotlight on Nature Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Step Card 2 cretivestampingdesigns.com

Fold the card base according to the measurements below, 3″ is a mountain fold, 6″ is a valley fold and 7″ is a mountain fold. Adhere the 1 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ & 2 15/16″ X 5 1/2″ panels of Basic White using the So Swirly EF. Adhere the 2 15/16″ X 5 1/2″ panel on the center portion of the Basic Black card base using Liquid Glue. Cut the top of the 1 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ panel using the Bright Skies Dies. Adhere the cut & embossed panel to the front section of the Basic Black card base using Liquid Glue

Adhere the step card front to the Basic Black card base using Tear & Tape. Using the Sophisticated Sled Dies cut the sled from a panel of Cherry Cobbler, the blades from a panel of Basic Black and the greenery from a panel of Shaded Spruce. Assemble the sled using Liquid Glue. Adhere the greenery to the top of the sled using Glue Dots. Adhere the sled to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On the panel of Cherry Cobbler, stamp the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Cut the image using the Sophisticated Sled Dies. Adhere the bird on the greenery using a Glue Dot. Tie a bow using the Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon Adhere the bow below the greenery using a Glue Dot. Stamp the sentiment from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing Bendy Front for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope everyone had a wonderful week. Is anyone making plans for the weekend yet?

I played with the new Online Exclusive products for today’s card and made a fun fold with it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing fun fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing Bundle along with the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing fun fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a panel of Otterly Adorable DSP using the So Swirly EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the Lost Lagoon card base using Liquid Glue. Carefully score the DSP, lining up the score line from the card base in the Paper Trimmer and gently folding the layered panel into a valley fold. Adhere the smaller panel of Otterly Adorable DSP to the pop-up panel of Lost Lagoon using Liquid Glue. Carefully score the DSP by lining up the scored cardstock score line in the Paper Trimmer and gently folding the layered panel into a mountain fold. Adhere the bridge panel of Otterly Adorable DSP to the scored Lost Lagoon bridge, using Liquid Glue. Using a Bone Folder, gently curve the bridge from the back of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing fun fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the otter image from the Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the sentiment from the Otterly Amazing stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the Basic White panel. Cut the otter image out using the Otterly Amazing Dies and the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing fun fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the Layered pop-up panel to the card front using Tear & Tape on the folded ends. Line the score lines up and adhere the panel. Adhere the 2 – 1″ X 1″ panels that are scored @ 1/2″, to the pop-up panel. Adhere these by lining up the folded edges of the squares with the center score line. Adhere the otter image to the other edges of the squares. This will make them pop up. Adhere the bridge to the bottom front of the card base by using Tear & Tape on the folded edges of the bridge, lay both the card base and bridge flat to line them up. Add a few Riverside Irregular Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing fun fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the 2 Basic white panel, stamp the sentiment from the Otterly Amazing stamp set on one of the panels in Lost Lagoon Ink. Stamp the greenery image from the Otterly Amazing stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the other panel and color the image using Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the bubble image from the Otterly Amazing stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink above the greenery. Adhere 2 strips of Otterly Adorable DSP to the bottom of the panels. Adhere the Basic White panels to Pool Party mats then to the back of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing fun fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Adhere a strip of Otterly Adorable DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing Panels

Posted on by
4

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. I have one of my least favorite appointments today. I have to go once a year to a retina specialist. 27 years ago, at a regular eye appointment, my Dr found that I had detached retinas in both eyes. I had gone partially blind and didn’t even know it. I had to have surgery to have them repaired, and this was before laser surgery was a thing. They were able to repair the tears but not my blindness. I am so grateful that he found it or I would have gone completely blind. So, every year I have to go to make sure everything is still intact.

Today’s the day you can finally order the new Online Exclusive products, YAY!!! Today’s card uses some of the Online Exclusive products. I’m loving this new DSP. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Otterly Amazing Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper, So Swirly Embossing Folder and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and 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 of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! charming Duck Pond Bundle along with the Stylish Shapes Dies, Lily Pond Lane 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and So Swirly Embossing Folder for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the side of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Balmy Blue using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I embossed the die cut circle using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the die cut circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Very Vanilla, I cut the larger duck, wing and beak using the Charming Duck Pond Dies. From a panel of Lemon Lolly, I cut the 5 baby ducks using the Charming Duck Pond Dies. I colored the beak on the large Very Vanilla duck using the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. Fo the smaller ducklings, I colored the solid duckling body where the wing would be using the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the beak using the Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I made a mark where the eye is on the small duckling using the Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the detailed duckling body to the solid duckling body using Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger duck to the Balmy Blue embossed circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the ducklings using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond Photopolymer Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White in Pretty Peacock Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Pretty Peacock and Peach Pie Inks. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock and Peach Pie Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the envelope 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:   PKXMFP73

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 2024-2025Annual Catalog, or from the Online Exclusives!  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.

Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
2

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend.

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 #208 is Hello Summer. 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! Seaside Wishes 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Sea turtle Photopolymer Stamp Set, Bright & Beautiful 6X 6 Designer Series Paper, So Swirly Embossing Folder and Deckled Circles Dies for my Clean & Layered Card today. The starfish caught my eye as soon as I saw the inspiration photo, so that is what inspired me, and I worked around that.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 208.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink multiple times, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP. I embossed the DSP panel using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to an Azure Afternoon card base using Liquid Glue.

Using the Deckled Circle Dies, I cut a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sand image from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Beige Ink on the bottom of the circle. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the large and small starfish images in Basic Beige Ink. I cut the images out using the Seaside Wishes Dies. I adhered a piece of Linen Thread to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the circle over the thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the larger starfish to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the smaller ones using Glue Dots. On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink. I cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends and Glue Dots in the center. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the starfish and sand images from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Basic Beige Ink around the sentiment. I stamped the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set on a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP, stamping off once on scrap paper, in Azure Afternoon Ink. I adhered the panel to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Azure Afternoon card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the starfish and sand images from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Basic Beige Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP. I adhered the panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Under the Moon Photopolymer Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies and So Swirly Embossing Folder for my book fold card today.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the binder end of the card base together on the inside using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, using my Blending Brushes, I added Azure Afternoon Ink to the top of the panel and Coastal Cabana Ink to the bottom section. I stamped the water image from the Under the Moon stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink over the brushed area. I stamped the dolphin images from the Under the Moon stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I stamped the cloud image from Under the Moon stamp set over the brushed Azure Afternoon portion in VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the sand image from the Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Beige Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I tore the top of the panel and adhered it below the water image on the Basic Whtie panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the umbrella, chair and ball images from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I colored the images using Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Highland Heather, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Poppy Parade and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sandcastle image from the Beach Day stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I cut the images out using the Beach Day Dies. I cut the palms and grass from a panel of Granny Apple Green and the tree trunk from a panel of Crumb Cake using the Beach Day Dies.

Stampin' Up! Beach Day Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the center of a Lost Lagoon card front using the Deckled Circles Dies. I cut a panel of Basic Beige using the Deckled Circles Dies. I embossed the 2 Lost Lagoon card front panels using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the Basic Beige circle to the back of the Lost Lagoon card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Lost Lagoon card front to the Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the embossed side panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered all the die cut pieces to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the panel of Basic White and fussy cut it using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sand image from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Beige Ink along the bottom of the panel. I stamped the umbrella and chair images from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat the n to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

I stamped the sandcastle in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the umbrella, chair and beachball images from the Beach Day stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom envelope front. I colored the images the same as I did for the card. I embossed a panel of Lost Lagoon using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Pastel Trucking Along

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. AND we’re more than halfway through the month, another month flying by.

Today I played with a lot of different products, some Online Exclusive, Some retiring and some new. 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! Trucking Along Pastel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the retiring Lighter Than Air 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, the Stylish Shapes Dies and the new So Swirly Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from Global Design Projects Color Challenge #441.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the So Swirly EF. I adhered a panel of Lighter Than Air DSP to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline truck image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the solid truck image over the outline image in Fresh Freesia Ink. I stamped the outline flower image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink. I colored the wheels on the truck using Basic Black, Fresh Freesia and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the leaves on the flowers using Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped the outline cloud image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Trucking Along stamp set in Balmy blue Ink. I cut the ends into a banner using Paper Snips. I tied a double bow using Balmy Blue Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack. I adhered the bow to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Trucking Along stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outline flower image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid flower image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink over the outline image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Pastel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the truck image from the Trucking Along stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Lighter Than Air DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual 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! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $63.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $65.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share and Ribbon share from the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 1st. 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 May 13th.

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 Name, Item # 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 – $65.00 plus $9.00 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):
