Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

As of last night, July 14th, we’re at $170 of the $500 to be donated. We can Do this!!!

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

  • For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.
    • You’ll earn your Creative Stamping Designs Rewards with all order of $50 or more (before tax & shipping).
    • Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

OR…

2. – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Mercury One at this LINK

  • For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Mercury One and you’ll be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be give away on July 20th.

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

  • If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses.  Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine.

NOTE: Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight Eastern Time on Saturday July 19 to be entered to win the machine.  One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Sunday July 20th from all of the entries received.

Any questions, please send me an email to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com. I appreciate your help more than I can express.

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.

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! Spotlight on Nature

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. Working in retail, my boss said to me one time, “after 4th of July, the summer’s over”. I never believed him until lately. The summer is just flying by on me. What happen to those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy days of Summer? Time needs to slow down. We hit over 100 yesterday with the real feel of 110 in the afternoon. Then that followed by thunderstorms in the evening. A true summer day here in NJ.

Today’s card I played along with 2 challenges and one of them makes your own background paper. 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! Spotlight On Nature Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I joined in with Inspire. Create Challenge #172 – Case The Designer

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #442.

I added a 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dot to the sentiment.

Product List

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature CAS

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already. Last night was our monthly Stamp Camp Class. It was a lot of fun as usual. The ladies made 4 cards mostly using Online Exclusive products. When I designed the cards I didn’t have much of the new items yet and I didn’t want to use retiring items, so it was Online Exclusive. Next month we’ll be using products from the new Annual catalog.

I’m having so much fun playing with all my new products. I really should make a list so that I’m sure to use everything at least once.  I tried really hard to keep this simple, but I couldn’t help myself with adding the gems. 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! Spotlight On Nature CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Cling Stamp Set along with the 2024-2026 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of 2024-21026 In-Color DSP to a Petunia Pop card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I adhered Post-It Note Tape leaving a small area open. Using my Small Blending Brush, I added Petunia Pop Ink. I removed the tape and trimmed the card base down using my Paper Trimmer (this was so I didn’t have any dark edges). I stamped the large flower image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink partially on the inked area.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few 2024-2026 In-Color Shimmer Gems to the card front.

I know this is unusual for my, but I didn’t stamp a sentiment on the inside. I stamped the large flower image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the side of a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly Image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Petunia Path Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, by the flower. I adhered a strip of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petunia Pop mat then to the inside of the petunia Pop card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the butterfly image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink. I adhered a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color 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:   6C44QBJA

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, the January-April 2024 Mini 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.
