Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Fun Fold Baby Card

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I had off yesterday and did a little unexpected cleaning. Every once in a while, (more often than I want to admit), I will go to clean 1 small thing/area and it turns into a huge project of cleaning and rearranging. Yesterday was one of those days. I wanted to just clean up 1 little thing and it ended up washing windows, changing curtains and ripping out a carpet.

Today a have a baby card for you that is also a fun fold. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls Fun Fold Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! January-February Sale-a-bration Adorable Owls Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring my Basic White Thick card base at 2 1/2″, 3 3/4″, 6 3/4″ & 8″ as stated below in the card cuts. The 2 1/2″ & 6 3/4″ score lines are mountain folds and the 3 3/4″ & 8″ score lines are valley folds.

I adhered a panel of Country Floral Lane DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal only on the left side. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flying owl image from the Adorable Owls stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Mint Macaron & Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest Layering Circles Dies. From a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock, I cut the coordinating scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the larger thick banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Fun Flower Resin Shapes to the card front.

On the center panel, I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock to the Basic Whtie Thick card base using Stampin’ Seal only on the left side. I adhered a panel of Country Floral Lane DSP to the right side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Adorable Owls stamp set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the larger thick banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the panel using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy Panel Card

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s New Year’s? It’s always such a lazy day for us even if we don’t do anything.

Today I used a Sale-a-bration set that you will be able to earn in just 3 short days, YAY!!! Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Beautifully Happy Panel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy Sale-a-bration Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beautifully Happy Panel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing the 3″ X 4 1/2″ panel of Basic White cardstock using the splatter folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3 D Embossing Folder. I cut the embossed panel into 3 1″ strips. I adhered the strips to the 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ panel of Basic White cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Beautifully Happy Panel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the 3 1/2″ X 3 1/2″ panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large outline flower image from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the solid flower fill image from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink over the outline image. I stamped the leaf fill image from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the flower center and splatter images from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink. I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I then stamped the bumblebee image from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink by the flower image. I adhered the artwork to the top of the embossed panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beautifully Happy Panel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I cut the one end using my Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Melon Mambo Glossy Dots Assortment to the card front

Stampin' Up! Beautifully Happy Panel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small flower image from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid flower image from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink over the outline image. I stamped the leaf fill image in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Beautifully Happy Panel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower and bumblebee images from the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the solid flower image in Melon Manbo Ink, the splatter and flower center in Daffodil Delight Ink. On the envelope flap, I took my Black Stampin’ Write Marker and drew a dotted line

Stampin' Up! Beautifully Happy Panel 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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! True Beauty for The Happy Ikin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends 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 Karen’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Awash In Beauty Suite for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Blushing Bride Brushstroke Specialty Paper using the lattice die from the Organic Beauty Dies. I adhered the die cut to a Merry Merlot card base.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Organic Beauty Dies, I cut panels of Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow and Shimmer White cardstock. I cut one of the larger floral images from a panel of Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sprigs to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the fussy cut floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals over the sprigs.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty Cling Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the True Beauty stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower stem image from the True Beauty stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the side of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the stem. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat then to the inside of the Merry Merlot card base.

Stampin' Up! True Beauty Just Because 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem and flower images from the True Beauty stamp set in Granny Apple Green and Blushing Bride Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Awash In Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

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! Thanks A Bunch Pocket Card

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. Can you believe there are only 11 days until Christmas. I guess I should get moving with getting my Christmas cards mailed, do some shopping and get my cookie trays put together.

Today’s card is one that we made last night for Mystery Stamping during our team meeting. We were given measurements of cardstock and DSP to pre-cut and then we were talked through putting it together. Everyone’s cards were similar, but at the same time different. I always look forward to out Mystery Stamping. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thanks A Bunch Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. Both items will be available January 5 FREE with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration. The stamp set is free with a $50 order and the huge pack of Dandy Designs DSP is free with a $100 order.

I started by adhering a panel of Dandy Designs DSP to a Basic White mat. I adhered layered panel to a Calypso Coral card base using a very thin bead of Multipurpose Liquid Glue only on the 2 sides and bottom of the panel.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large carrot image from the Thanks A Bunch stamp set. I stamped the detail image in Calypso Coral Ink 3 times. I stamped the full carrot image in Calypso Coral Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, over the detailed image. I stamped the carrot top leaf image from the Thanks A Bunch stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink 3 times. I fussy cut the images using my Paper Snips. I adhered the leafy image to the top of the carrots using Glue Dots. I adhered the carrots to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Thanks A Bunch stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the Basic White panel. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiments from the Thanks A Bunch stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on a Basic White Thick panel. I stamped the smallest bunch of carrot image from the Thanks A Bunch stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leafy carrot top in Granny Apple Green Ink on top of the carrots. I folded the small panel of Dandy Designs DSP in half and adhered it to the top of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card front and the pull tab.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the carrot image from the Thanks A Bunch stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Dandy Designs DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and might have this on your free shopping list for January 5th. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Kind & Sincere for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans yet for the weekend? I was supposed to have off the entire weekend to do my baking, but unfortunately, they were shorthanded at the dog bakery and me being a softy said I could help. So, plans have changed a bit, I’ll be mixing my cookies today and baking what I could on Sunday. The rest will have to get baked off during the week. I thought about not baking anything this year, but that’s not going over well at all. I’ve been doing this since I was a little girl with my mom and as she got older, I just took over. I can’t break a tradition.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Kind & Sincere Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Kind & Sincere Cling Stamp Set (available starting January 5, 2023) along with the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set and Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Kind & Sincere Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to a Smoky Slate card back. I scored & folded a Pool Party card base as listed below. Adhered the card base to the center of the card back. Fussy cut one of the large flower images from the Abigail Rose DSP using Paper Snips. Color the image using Highland Heatherm Petal Pink, Pool Party, Shaded Spruce and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Kind & Sincere Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a Smoky Slate card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pool Party mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to the 1 1/2″ left side only of the card base. Adhere the large fussy cut floral image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Kind & Sincere Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to the 1 1/2″ right side of the card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock stamp the sentiment from the Kind & Sincere stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest narrow rectangle die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Adhere the sentiment over the floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Kind & Sincere Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the thin panel of Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment from Kind & Sincere stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the largest narrow banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the banner sentiment to the right panel using Glue Dots. Add a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Kind & Sincere Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 2 panels of Abigail Rose DSP to the inside of the card base. Stamp the small flower image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the Basic White panel.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller rose image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to the envelope flap which I had colored the same as the card front image.

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 (excluding cardstock) 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! Cottage Wreaths for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. Can you believe it’s the last day of November already? I’ve lost the past 2 months, they have been a blur to me.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #185 is Christmas Greetings.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Bundle for my card today. I was inspired by the wreath on the door and the colors for my clean & layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #185.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 4 smaller panels of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to a larger panel making it look like a door. I embossed the panel using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the layered embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the twig wreath image from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the small pine bough image from the Cottage Wreath stamp set all around the wreath in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped multiple pine bough images on the Basic White Panel. Using my Country Wreaths Dies, I cut out the wreath and all the pine bough images. I adhered the pine boughs to the wreath using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Real Red cardstock I cut the bow from the Country Wreaths Dies. I adhered the bow to the wreath using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the wreath and 1 Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot as a doorknob.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the bow image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Real Red Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bow image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Real Red Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Cane Bundle along with the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP to a Sweet Sorbet mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of 2022-2024 In-Color 6 X 6 Glimmer Paper. I cut 2 of the candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas DSP using my Candy Cane Dies. I stamped the mistletoe image from the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the images out using the Candy Cane Dies. I adhered the candy canes to the die cut glimmer paper using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the mistletoe behind the candy canes using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the card from using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the frame die from the Harvest Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small bow using the Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it to the candy canes using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Cane 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the mistletoe image from the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set next to the sentiment in Garden Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.
