Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings for Fun Fold Friday & Last Day of FLASH SALE!!

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I made it safely to TN Wednesday afternoon. It was so great getting to spend some time with Judi and Tara before heading to GA yesterday. Then once we arrived at the house and met up with everyone the fun began. Of course, our first dinner that James made us was amazing. We had a Salad, Beef Lasagna, Garlic Bread Panned Fried Brussel Sprouts with Sweet Chilli Sauce and Skillet Roasted Broccoli. It was finished off with a wonderful Lemon Blueberry Angel Food cake. Looking forward to our Blueberry French Toast bake this morning.

Today’s card is one that we made last Sunday at our quarterly team meeting. This card was designed by Rosie Kean one of my amazing team members. I changed mine up a little, as I usually do. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Stamp Set, Sunflower Fields Suite Collection and the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Lighthouse for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. We made it home safely from the Incentive trip, now to get back to normal life.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #228a is Summer By The Sea. There are 2 Inspiration Photos this month, the other is #228b Christmas in July. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Lighthouse 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Bundle and the Scenic Coast 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the overall theme along with the lighthouses and colors in the photo for my Clean & Layered Card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 228a & 228b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

July Online Exclusive Product Share

I’m offering a small product share from the upcoming July Online Exclusives. I’m offering a Paper Share and/or an Embellishment & Ribbon Share. If you click on the image below you can open the flyer with the products coming in July.

I’m offering a Paper Share and a Ribbon & Embellishment Share from the July 2026 Online Exclusives, and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on July 1st 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 July 6th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous and fun new Papers in the upcoming July 2026 Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Papers from the 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 papers from the Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $90.00 plus shipping.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the 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 – $10.50 plus $7.00 for 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):

  • Frightfully Fun (6)
  • Frightfully Fun Two-Tone Cardstock (6)
  • Spooktacular (6×6) (4)
  • 2026-2028 In-Color Gingham (5)
  • A Stitched Season (6)
  • Violet Dreams Specialty (5)

If you’d like double shares of the paper, 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.

Double Paper Share – $21.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping

Ribbon/Embellishment Share – $12.50 plus $7.00 Shipping

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

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Black 3/8″ Iridescent Ribbon
  • Fresh Freesia 1/4″ Satin Ribbon
  • Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Ribbon
  • Adhesive-Backed Bats Ghosts & Dots (30)
  • Adhesive-Backed Blooms (15)
  • Adhesive-Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (10)

Double Ribbon & Embellishment Share – $25.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping and you will be getting 1/2 of the roll of each ribbon.

Anyone is welcome to join in my shares (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  To make ordering the shares a little easier, I have created a form for you to submit, that way you can order any combination of shares you want. Click Here for the form. I will send out PayPal Invoices on or around June 27th with a due date by June 30th.
