Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Wildflower Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Our temperatures are dropping here in NJ this week. We did get a bit of snow yesterday, enough that they even came and plowed our road last night. I’m guessing the snow is going to stay for a while since it’s going to be so cold.

My card today is a pretty simple one where I let the DSP do the work for me. 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! Simply Said Wildflower Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper along with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set, Spotlight on Nature Dies and Stampin’ Up! Simple Birthday Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

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.

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

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.

My January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 7th and 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 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the January Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $130.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $38.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

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!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $9.00 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″ X 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.

New Ribbon Share – $11.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons.

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

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.

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are all have some plans in the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m hoping to start the Christmas decorating process a little tomorrow. Yesterday and last night I was able to completely un-decorate my house. Those of you that know me, know that I pack everything away for the holidays from Knick Knacks to pictures and pillows. I rearrange furniture and move some out of the room to fit my Christmas decorations and tree. My house is like walking into Christmas land.

Today’s card was designed by Karen Ilsley for our retreat last weekend. It’s such a beautiful Christmas card and I couldn’t wait to make it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend. We arrived safely in Georgia yesterday morning for the start of our 4-day crafting retreat. Amy and I picked up Mary’s supplies and headed up to the retreat, Unfortunately, Mary who plans this whole retreat, had to miss it this year. Of course, we were welcomed with open arms and started right in with having a good time. We had a delicious dinner last night to kick off the weekend with chicken, roasted zucchini and broccoli and an amazing carrot soufflé. Desert was a delicious chocolate fudge cake with black satin raspberry ganache that was made for Tara and me for our birthdays by Judi. Today’s all about crafting, laughing, chatting and eating, and that’s what we’ll be doing for the next 3 days. I look so forward to this weekend away with my friends and team members.

Today’s card is the one I brought for everyone to make at our retreat this weekend. You can watch my video making this card with other DSP and stamp set, on my YouTube Channel Here. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set, Painted Lavender Dies, Spotlight on Nature Dies and 2 3/8″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Score and fold the 3 Pretty Peacock card bases as listed in the measurements below.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to the Pretty Peacock card bases. I listed below which piece goes on which part of the card bases. Adhere the center card base to the large card base with the 4 1/4″ side in the front, about 1/4″ up from the bottom. Adhere the bottom card base with the 5 1/2″ side in the front, to the large card base on top of the center, lining up the bottom edge.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves Triple Z Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. Stamp the splatter image from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink around the circle. Using the Spotlight on Nature Dies, cut the 3 1/4″ circle from a panel of Lost Lagoon. Using the Painted Lavender Dies, cut 2 of the leaf die from a panel of Pretty Peacock and 3 of the flower die from a panel of Highland Heather. Adhere the die cut pieces to the Lost Lagoon Circle. Adhere the sentiment over the die cut pieces using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the layered circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. I’ll be working tomorrow, but I do have off on Sunday.

I’m a little late today with posting, it’s been a crazy week for me, and I didn’t get my card finished until a little while ago. This is one of those cards that I kept making mistakes and I was determined to finish the card properly. After I was all finished and loving how my card turned out, I realized the stamp set I used is no longer available in the Online Exclusive store in English. You can still purchase it in French if you just want to use the images. but you are able to make the truck part of the design using the Truck Builder Punch which is still available. I don’t usually post cards if items are not available, but with a little tweaking you can use this design for anything.  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.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up!

Using the Spotlight on Nature Dies, cut a panel of Mossy Meadow using the die just a bit larger the Basic Beige circle cut. Decide where you want to put the truck and stamp the pumpkin image from the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink. Stamp the stem image from the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on top of the pumpkins. Adhere the Basic Beige circle to the Mossy Meadow circle using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the truck to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the layered circle to the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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 Color 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 colors.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Friendship 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature Dies and Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Friendship 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Beige using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. Using the Country Birdhouse Dies, I cut the flowers from a panel of Petal Pink and the leaves from a panel of Pool Party.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Friendship 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Country Birdhouse Dies I cut the feeder try and pedestal from a panel of Country Woods DSP. In Basic Beige Ink, I stamped the spotted image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamp Set on the die cut panel of Basic Beige. I adhered the bird feeder and pedestal to the bottom of the panel using Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the pedestal using Liquid Glue, Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Friendship 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. To get the bird facing the opposite way, I stamped the bird image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Silicone Craft Sheet. I immediately placed the Basic White panel over the stamped image and gave it a little rub. I colored the images using Misty Moonlight and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images using the Country Birdhouse Dies. To cut the bird facing the opposite way, I held the Basic White panel up to the light on the back and lined up the die with the bird. I adhered the birds to the feeder using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the flower center and an Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dot next to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Friendship 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I adhered some die cut flowers and leaves to the corners using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Friendship 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Petal Pink and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the spotted image in Basic Beige Ink. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.
