NEW Stampin’ Up! Reward Program Coming in April 15th

Stampin’ Up! will be updating their Reward Program starting April 15th. The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years will be going away in mid-April.  You’ll soon be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders!  Here are the basics:

This does mean that my $10 thank you gifts will also be going away on April 13 since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone.  But since you’ll be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything that you’d like on any order that you’d like to use them on!

You’ll no longer need to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product like you do with the current Stampin’ Rewards system. 

Starting April 15 at 8 AM MT and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!

You can save your rewards for up to a year!  So you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at at time. 

Additionally, the “host code” will be going away, so beginning April 15, you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.

What won’t be changing:
My Creative Stamping Designs Rewards program will not be changing.  So, no worries there!  You’ll still continue to earn reward points toward free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me with every order of $50+!  And any points/rewards/gifts that you’ve collected from me up until this point will still be valid.  You won’t be losing out on anything that you’ve earned from me, and you’ll continue to earn points toward free merchandise with every order of $50+ just like you do now.  

What should you know now to prepare for these changes?
Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:

  • You need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
    • I will not be able to create and manage customer accounts.  I’ll be able to help you with ordering if you need me.  But because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards.  So make sure you can log in at stampinup.com.
  • You will need to opt into the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards.  When you place your first order after April 15, you’ll have the option to opt into the new rewards program.  If you choose not to opt in with your first order, you’ll have the option to opt in at any point when you order after that.
  • If you don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account, you can still order SU products through me. You just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards directly for your purchases.  I’ll receive the rewards and I’ll need to apply them to future orders for you.
  • If you don’t want to opt into the rewards program, you don’t have to opt in.  You can still order; you just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases.

Again, these changes will begin April 15th at 8 AM Mountain Time.  I’m notifying you a little early so that you are ready for these changes.  Let me know if you have any questions.  I’m excited for you all to start earning rewards on orders of $20+ soon!

Stampin’ Up! Arched Wishes for The Card Concepts

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

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #216 is Spring Celebrations. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Arched Wishes Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Arched Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Everyday Arches Dies, Brights 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and the Pastel Ombre Glimmer Specialty Paper, for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the beautiful pastel colors along with the balloons, cupcakes and tropical leaves in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 216.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Arched Wishes Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of the Brights DSP to a Granny Apple Green card base using Liquid Glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest Everyday Arches Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Arched Wishes Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the cupcake image from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. Fussy cut the cupcake using Paper Snips. Stamp the balloon image from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink 3 times on the panel of Basic White. Fussy cut the balloons using Paper Snips. Stamp the top of the balloon image on the 3 panels of Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper in Tuxedo Black Ink. Fussy cut them using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Arched Wishes Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the Glimmer balloons to the 3 balloons using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the balloons to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the astric image from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink on the sentiment panel. Adhere the cupcake to the card front lining up the candle with the astric, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Arched Wishes Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the cupcake image from the Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a strip of Brights DSP to the top of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base.

Stampin' Up! Arched Wishes Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the cupcake image from Arched Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the image the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Brights DSP to the envelope flap.

My 2025 – 2026 Annual Catalog and May 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 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Two-Tone Cardstock Share along with the upcoming May Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 6th 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 May 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Catalog and 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 $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $65.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 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 Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 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):

Two-Tone Cardstock Share – $6 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

Have you been wanting to try the Two-Tone Cardstock but didn’t want to buy a whole pack? You can add a share of the 4 different Two-Tone Cardstock packs for an additional $6 or purchase them separately for $6 + $9 Priority Shipping

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

  • Celebrate Together (6)
  • Memories in Bloom (6)
  • Turtle-y Cute (6)
  • Weekend Adventures (6)

In all, you’ll receive 24 – 6” x 6” sheets of cardstock!

If you’d like double shares of the designer paper or cardstock, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ 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.

New Ribbon Share – $20.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product.

NEW Stampin’ Up! Reward Program Coming in April 15th

Stampin’ Up! will be updating their Reward Program starting April 15th. The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years will be going away in mid-April.  You’ll soon be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders!  Here are the basics:

This does mean that my $10 thank you gifts will also be going away on April 15 since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone.  But since you’ll be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything that you’d like on any order that you’d like to use them on!

You’ll no longer need to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product like you do with the current Stampin’ Rewards system. 

Starting April 15 at 8 AM MT and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!

You can save your rewards for up to a year!  So you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at at time. 

Additionally, the “host code” will be going away, so beginning April 15, you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.

What won’t be changing:
My Creative Stamping Designs Rewards program will not be changing.  So, no worries there!  You’ll still continue to earn reward points toward free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me with every order of $50+!  And any points/rewards/gifts that you’ve collected from me up until this point will still be valid.  You won’t be losing out on anything that you’ve earned from me, and you’ll continue to earn points toward free merchandise with every order of $50+ just like you do now.  

What should you know now to prepare for these changes?
Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:

  • You need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
    • I will not be able to create and manage customer accounts.  I’ll be able to help you with ordering if you need me.  But because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards.  So make sure you can log in at stampinup.com.
  • You will need to opt into the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards.  When you place your first order after April 15, you’ll have the option to opt into the new rewards program.  If you choose not to opt in with your first order, you’ll have the option to opt in at any point when you order after that.
  • If you don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account, you can still order SU products through me. You just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards directly for your purchases.  I’ll receive the rewards and I’ll need to apply them to future orders for you.
  • If you don’t want to opt into the rewards program, you don’t have to opt in.  You can still order; you just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases.

Again, these changes will begin April 15th at 8 AM Mountain Time.  I’m notifying you a little early so that you are ready for these changes.  Let me know if you have any questions.  I’m excited for you all to start earning rewards on orders of $20+ soon!

Paper Pumpkin Moved!!

If you haven’t claimed your Paper Pumpkin do so today. Even though you already may have a Paper Pumpkin Subscription, you must go to my Online Store, click on Paper Pumpkin and Manage My Subscription.

Beginning April 11, Paper Pumpkin is increasing its subscription prices to accommodate rising manufacturing costs. All new subscriptions purchased on or after April 11 will be at the new price. 
In addition, starting Tuesday, April 15, Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will qualify for rewards through the new Stampin’ Rewards program.
The first kit at the new price, the May Mountain Majesties Kit, will bill on May 11 at 12:01 a.m. (MT). 

Paper Pumpkin accounts will no longer be managed on a separate website at paperpumpkin.com.  It’s all going to merge with the stampinup.com site!

Starting March 11th at 8 AM MT, you’ll only need to log into your Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com to start or manage your Paper Pumpkin subscription! 

Initially you will need to “claim” your paperpumpkin.com account in the subscriptions area of your Stampin’ Up! online store account.  So be sure you know and can access the email that your Paper Pumpkin account is currently under (claiming can occur on or after March 11th).  Then you will have full access to all the editing options.

Click here for an informative PDF and click here for a video on managing your account(s).

Prepaid subscriptions are also changing a bit.  The One Month Prepaid subscription is going away since gifting will be so much easier (check out the video for the details!).  There will no longer be a slight discount with the 6 and 12 month subscriptions.  But with the new customer rewards program you will earn when purchasing the new 3, 6 or 12 month prepaid subscriptions!

Yay for an easier way to manage your Paper Pumpkin subscription coming very soon!!

When they have their DSP sale or bundle sale, you get your discount on top of those prices. Being a demonstrator means you get to attend the events with everyone else.

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

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.

  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.

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstool for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you are all starting to make plans for the weekend.

Today’s card isn’t really a fun fold, it’s more of a window card. I have a sneak peek for you today of products coming in the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-bration Brochure. I played with a new bundle that will be available starting January 7th and some Sale-a-bration DSP that you’ll be able to earn with a qualifying order starting January 7th.

Sprinkle the sentiment with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Sunny Days Iridescent Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Terrific Toadstool Window 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the hill image from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. Stamp the triple stem image in Tuxedo Black Ink on the image.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the largest mushroom top from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink, stamp the medium mushroom top in Fresh Freesia Ink and stamp the stem image in Tuxedo Black Ink 2 times. Punch all the images out using the Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch. Adhere the stems to the mushrooms. Adhere the Poppy Parade mushroom using Glue Dots. Adhere the Fresh Freesia mushroom using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink below the hill. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base.
