Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate 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 are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #210 is Pumpkin Season. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Rustic Crate Dies, Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin’ Up! Caring Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Deckled Circle Dies and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean & Layered card. I was inspired by the pumpkins in the photo along with the overall rustic feel of the photo, the colors and of course the gingham.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 210.  How are you inspired by the photos?

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.

September-December 2024 Mini Catalog Paper and Ribbon Shares Open for Ordering

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on September 4th 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 September 9. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2024 Mini Catalog?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. 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, it would cost you over $135.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $60.00.

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

You will receive one 6X6 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):

  • Nests of Winter (6)
  • Regal Winter (6)
  • Regal Distressed Patterns (3)
  • Reindeer Days (6)
  • Season of Elegance (6)
  • Sentimental Christmas (6)
  • Snowy Scenes (6)
  • A Little Bit Festive (3)
  • Festive Glimmer (3)
  • Splendid Autumn 6X6 (12)
  • Take A Bow 6X6 (4)

In all, you’ll receive 61 – 6” X 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

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 – $17.00 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.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Blackberry Bliss & Gold Textured Ribbon
  • Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow 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 Karen’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch 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 sketch.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Bundle along with the Meandering Meadows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Fun Pattern Embossing Folder for my card today

Here’s our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadows DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. From a panel of Basic White, I cut 5 or the 3rd largest squares from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I embossed the 5 squares using the Fun Patterns EF.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On another panel of Basic White, I stamped the flowers, watering can, boots and garden tool images from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. On the same panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I colored the images using Blueberry Bushel, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using the Garden Meadow Dies. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut images to the embossed squares using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 5 squares to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Glossy Dots and Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Meandering Meadows DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base. I added a couple Adhesive-Backed Birds by the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the watering can, garden tools and boots images from the Garden Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Melon Mambo and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadow DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of The Deep Sea Turtles

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I’ll be working all day today and tomorrow. It’s that time of the year when everyone wants to take vacation and it always ends up being the same time.

Today’s card started out being a simple one but ended up with multiple pieces.  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! Beauty Of The Deep 
Sea Turtles 1 creativestampinngdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of the Deep Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtles Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set, Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper, Beauty of the Deep Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

I joined in with Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #441. I focused on the sea turtle in the photo.

Stampin' Up! Beauty Of The Deep 
Sea Turtles 2 creativestampinngdesigns.com

I started by stamping a panel of Winter Meadow DSP using the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Peach Pie, I stamped the coral image from Beauty of the Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I stamped the seaweed image from the Beauty of the Deep stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Shy Shamrock. Using the Beauty of the Deep Dies, I cut the stamped coral image, the seaweed image and the coral image from a panel of Highland Heather. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the detailed small turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink 3 times. I flipped the stamp over and stamped the solid turtle image in Summer Splash Ink over the detailed images. I fussy cut the images using Paper Snips.

I adhered the turtles to the card front using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment on a panel of Basic White in Blueberry Bushel Ink.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Seaside Wishes stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the coral image from the Beauty of the Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the small turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock and Summer Splash Inks on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat then t the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Sophisticate Sled for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Did everyone have a nice 4th? It was a very relaxing day here at our house. My niece came over in the morning with her dog and we went out walking for a few miles with the dogs. By the time we got home they were both hot and exhausted. Here’s a picture of what Coraline did after her walk. Smart pup, laid down right in front of the fan.

A few of my husband’s friends came over in the afternoon and we barbequed hamburgers and wings. I was even able to get a little crafting time in for myself. All was good here until the fireworks started going off all around out area. Coraline does not do well with them at all. I even gave her a calming treat, which only helped for a short time. She was a very nervous puppy. Gidget on the other hand had no clue what was going on.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Bundle along with the Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Misty Moonlight panel and scored the Basic White panel. I carefully folded the card base in half on the score lines. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the scored panel of Moody Mauve using Liquid Gue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Moody Mauve panel and scored the DSP panel. I carefully folded the panel in half on the score lines. I folded the 2 sides back on the side score lines and adhered it to the card base, lining up the center score line on the layered panel with the score line on the card base, using Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Take the 2 1″ X 1″ scored pieces and fold them in half. Adhere them to the DSP lining up the folded edged with the score line of the DSP using Tear & Tape. Cut the Misty Moonlight panel using the 3rd largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Emboss the circle using the Snowflake Sky EF. Adhere the die cut circle to the 2 folded pieces using Tear & Tape. Using the Sophisticated Sled Dies, cut the skates from a panel of Basic White, laces from a panel of Moody Mauve and the blades from a panel of Silver Foil paper. Adhere the blades to the bottom of the skates using Liquid Glue. Insert the laces to the skates and add a couple Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to hold them in place. Adhered a piece of 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim to the back of the skates using Glue Dots. Tie a bow with another piece on the top. Adhere the skates to the embossed circle. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the Basic White panel. Fold the ends on the score lines. Using a Bone Folder, curve the back of the layered panel.

On the back, stamp the sentiment from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Misty Moonlight Ink. Stamp the skates’ image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on the other panel of Basic White in Pebbled Path Ink. Color the image using Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond 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 Sketch 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 sketch.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! charming Duck Pond Bundle along with the Stylish Shapes Dies, Lily Pond Lane 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and So Swirly Embossing Folder for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the side of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Balmy Blue using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I embossed the die cut circle using the So Swirly EF. I adhered the die cut circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Very Vanilla, I cut the larger duck, wing and beak using the Charming Duck Pond Dies. From a panel of Lemon Lolly, I cut the 5 baby ducks using the Charming Duck Pond Dies. I colored the beak on the large Very Vanilla duck using the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. Fo the smaller ducklings, I colored the solid duckling body where the wing would be using the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the beak using the Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I made a mark where the eye is on the small duckling using the Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the detailed duckling body to the solid duckling body using Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger duck to the Balmy Blue embossed circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the ducklings using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond Photopolymer Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White in Pretty Peacock Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Pretty Peacock and Peach Pie Inks. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock and Peach Pie Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the envelope flap.

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

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.
