Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It was actually busier than I thought it would be yesterday at work. Everyone seems to be painting all of a sudden. I have a workshop today that I’m really looking forward to. I hope everyone likes the cards they will be making.

Today’s card uses some Annual Catalog products along with Sale-a-bration DSP. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sending Smiles 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sending Dies, Darling Details Dies and Sale-a-bration Sunny Days Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Colours & Sketches Challenge #531

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #781.

Stampin' Up! Sending Smiles 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the top and bottom of the Basic White panel using the Darling Details Dies. I threaded a piece of 1/4″ Petal Pink ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack through the top and bottom of the scalloped edge. I stamped the stem images from the Sending Smiles stamp set on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower images from the Sending Smiles stamp set on the stems in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the flower center images on the flowers in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the artwork panel to the center of the scalloped edge panel.

I cut the detailed sentiment using the Sending Dies from a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment mat using the Sending Dies from a panel of Shaded Spruce. I adhered the detailed sentiment to the mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut sentiment to the artwork panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sending Smiles 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Sending Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Rainbow Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on panel of Basic White. I stamped the stem images from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flower images from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the stems and the flower centers in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Sending Smiles 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem images from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower images from the Sending Smiles stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the stems and the flower center images in Pecan Pie Ink. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother’s Day

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Did you know it’s National Love You Pet Day? I don’t know about you, but every day is Love Your Pet Day in my house. Before I get started with my card, I wanted to share a couple pictures of how I have to make cards with Coraline at my side and how I do things in the kitchen with her.

I usually stand when making cards so I can get around easily without getting up and down. She doesn’t make it easy to get around.

In the kitchen, she has to be right under my feet at all times or around them. Think she’s a mama’s girl?

Today’s card I used some Sale-a-bration items again. I want to use them as much as possible before they are gone. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Detailed Dogwood Cling Stamp Set, Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder and Sunny Days Designer Series Paper along with the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic Gray card front using the Softly Sophisticated EF. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days DSP to the panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Basic Gray card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large dogwood image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I colored the image using Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink next to the dogwood image.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the artwork to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal. From a panel of Basic White, I cut the 2nd largest die from the Perennial Postage Dies. I adhered the layered artwork to the die cut panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple dragonflies from the Online Exclusive Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies and Birds. I added a Petal Pink gem from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller dogwood image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink next to the sentiment, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the dogwood image using Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dogwood Mother's Day 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large dogwood image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did the card. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Filled With Happiness 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 on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Filled With Happiness Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Modern Oval Punch, Nested Essentials Dies and Sale-a-bration Sunny Days Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 panels of Sunny Days DSP to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I colored a piece of Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon using a Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped the piece of ribbon around the layered panel adhering it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Shaded Spruce card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the image from the Filled With Happiness stamp set once in Shaded Spruce and once in Tuxedo Black. I cut the Shaded Spruce image out using the Nested Essentials Dies. I adhered the image to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I punched the center of the Tuxedo Black image out using the Modern Oval Punch. I colored the image using Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the colored image to the center of the rectangle image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Filled With Happiness stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the inside of the orange image from the Filled With Happiness stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

Stampin' Up! Filled With Happiness 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the orange image from the Filled With Happiness stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days 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! Sweetest Cherries for The Happy Inkin’ 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 Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest Cherries 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Cherry Builder Punch, Very Best Trio Punch, Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and Sale-a-bration Sunny Days Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest Cherries 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Sunny Days DSP card front to a Smoky Slate mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest Cherries 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I punched the 4 sides of panels of Basic White and Smoky Slate using the Very Best Trio Punch, On the Basic White panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom of the panel. I embossed the Basic White panel using the Stripes & Splatters EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Shaded Spruce to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest Cherries 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the cherry image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink. I punched the cherry out using the Cherry Builder Punch. I punched the stem out from a panel of Early Espresso and the leave from a panel of Shaded Spruce using the Cherry Builder Punch. I adhered the stem to the cherry using a Glue Dot. I adhered the cherry and leaves to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest Cherries 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the large sentiment from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Poppy parade Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the smaller sentiment from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink below the large sentiment. I adhered a strip of Sunny Days DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest Cherries 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cherry image from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on the envelope front in Poppy Parade Ink. I stamped the stems in Early Espresso Ink and the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. I adhered a panel of Sunny Days DSP to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   D9EX7ZXG

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

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

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.
