Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Forever Love

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. It’s also the LAST day of January and my husband’s birthday. I can’t believe that January is over. A couple more months of this cold and spring will be here.

Today’s card I played with products from the Annual Catalog and DSP from the January-April mini catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stamin' Up! Dainty Delight Forever Love 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Cling Stamp Set along with the Forever Love Designer Series Paper, Dainty Delight Dies and Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design is from Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #639.

Stamin' Up! Dainty Delight Forever Love 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Timeworn Type EF. I adhered 3 panels of Forever Love DSP to Moody Mauve mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3 layered panels to the embossed card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stamin' Up! Dainty Delight Forever Love 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Moody Mauve, I stamped the sentiment from the Dainty Delight stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the end into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the floral images from the Dainty Delight stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink. I cut the images out using the Dainty Delight Dies. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the die cut flowers to the end of the sentiment banner using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. I adhered the bow to the bottom of the flowers using a Glue Dot. I added a few Petal Pink Foil Gems from the Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock Foil Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Dainty Delight stamp set in Moody mauve Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the floral images from the Dainty Delight stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images using Lost Lagoon and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

  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! Lovely & Sweet Notes of Nature

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Well, there are only 5 more sleeps until Christmas. I’ll be going out shopping with my daughter today after I’m done with work, and she’s done with her last final exam. We’re heading to a quaint little town with all kinds of little shops. It’s supposed to be a sunny cool day, so it’ll be nice walking around the town. I’m hoping to get whatever else I need today so that I can get things wrapped. I’m going to be playing it close since I have to work the next 5 days and I don’t have my normal time off.

I played with a new suite from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog for today’s card. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. 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 15th.

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!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 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):

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings

Good Saturday morning stamping friends welcome to the weekend and HAPPY AUTUMN!!! I can’t believe summer is over. Summer one of my favorite seasons, but I do like spring and autumn and winter too. I’m just a hot weather person. I hope you are getting some plans in the works for the weekend. I’ll be working all day today.

Since it’s Autumn, I only thought it would be appropriate to have a fall card for you today. To see a quick video on how I made this card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for the day.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Rectangle Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Them Bones Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Cajun Craze card front using the Timeworn Type 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut the panel of Stargazing DSP partway through, I moved the die so that I would cut a square and cut again from the opposite side. I stamped the splatter image from the Textured Floral stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, all around the panel. I adhered the stamped DSP panel to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Them Bones DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stamin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Fruitful Blessings Dies I cut the solid corn die from a panel of Cajun Craze, the detailed corn die from a panel of Crushed Curry, the corn husk from a panel of Crumb Cake and the leaves from a panel of Old Olive.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Pebbled Path, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the detailed corn to the solid corn die. I adhered the leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the corn and corn husk using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel and colored the images with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Them Bones DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic Thank You

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope your weekend is going as planned. I’m hoping to get all my kits cut up today and ready for my class on Tuesday. We will see how the day goes.

I have a quick monochromatic card for you today. I LOVE using colors on my cards, but I also like a monochromatic one every once in a while. I went out of my comfort zone with today’s card using a shade of yellow. Want to see a quick video of how I made this card? You can see it Here on my Instagram reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Wild Wheat card front using the Distressed Tile EF (available Sept 6). I adhered the embossed panel to a Wild Wheat card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Very Vanilla using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the leaf die using the Gorgeously Made Dies from a panel of 2023-2025 In-Color Luster Paper. I adhered the die cut piece to the cut & embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Cling Stamp Set in Wild Wheat Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Wild Wheat Jute trim from the 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim pack. I adhered the bow to the stem of the leaf using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the script image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink over the script image once in full strength ink and once stamped off on scrap paper. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Monochromatic 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink over the script image, full strength ink and stamped off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front and flap.

New Designer Series Paper as part of the Online Exclusive Products

Free Gift from Me – A Sample with my Designer Series Paper Shares Below

Surprise, surprise! We’re offering a special release of five beautiful new Designer Series Paper options! These papers include fabulous holiday prints, gorgeous seasonal styles, and some spectacular timeless designs. 

We originally created these papers to be part of our second Sale-A-Bration offering. However, since our next release of new Online Exclusive products won’t happen until November (and you won’t be able to find any of these papers in a catalog), we’ve adjusted our strategy and decided to release these paper options starting 6 September! That way, you have the chance to get ahead on Christmas cards, seasonal crafts, and much more. These products are available while supplies last—you don’t want to miss out! 

Sales Period: Starting 6 September

  • The special release paper options will be available in the Online Exclusives category in the online store.
  • Products will only be available while supplies last. Once products run out, they will no longer be visible in the online store.

Here’s a video showing more about the paper.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You

Good Monday morning stamping friends. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was warm here, but not unbearable. I actually went on multiple walks yesterday, mainly because my puppy wanted to LOL.

I have a quick card for you today which I played along with a challenge with. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Bundle along with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #664.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by randomly stamping the script image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Cling Stamp Set in Fresh Freesia Ink on a Fresh Freesia card front. I embossed the card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP using the torn edge die from the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Fresh Freesia card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Gorgeously Made Dies, I cut a panel of Basic White and the leaf from a panel of Lost Lagoon. On the die cut panel of Basic White, I stamped the floral image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Pool Party Ink. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaf die to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Tinsel Gems Three Pack to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a Basic White panel, I stamped the floral image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the scrap piece of Bright & Beautiful DSP, from the card front to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front, once full strength and once stamped off on scrap paper. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made CAS and September-December 2023 Mini Catalog Paper Share Ordering Open

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. It was a bit steamy here yesterday but is supposed to cool down today and be cooler all week.

I have a super simple card for you today using a set that i just received and one of my favorite colors. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Bundle along with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing an Orchid Oasis card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to an Orchid Oasis card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a Basic White panel using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the left side of t6he card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the floral die from the Gorgeously Made Dies out of a panel of Orchid Oasis. I adhered the die to the Basic White embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a double bow using the Orchid Oasis 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the stem using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up”! Gorgeously Made Cling Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered the die cut sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2-24 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Orchid Oaiss Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the floral image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on the bottom of the panel in full strength and stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Orchid Oasis mat then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on the envelope front and flap, some in full strength Ink and some stamped off once.

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! Earthen Textures Thank You 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 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! Earthen Textures Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Bundle along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Banner Pick A Punch for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Basic White using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pecan Pie mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Earthen Textures Dies I cut the largest vase from a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP, The feather from a panel of Distressed Gold Paper and the grass from a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the vase to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the feather and grass inside the vase using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Pecan Pie cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut both ends using the Banner Pick A Punch. I folded the ends to make a raised banner and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tall vase image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the branch and small leaf images from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink, masking the vase, one stamping off once on scrap paper and the other full strength. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall vase image from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the branch and small leaf images from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink in the vase. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine

Good Saturday morning stamping friends HAPPY JULY and welcome to the weekend. Is anyone lucky enough to have an extra-long holiday weekend? Working in retails, not me. I’ll be working in the office all day today since it’s the 1st of the month, I have to get those bills done. The good thing is as soon as I get them done, I just have to drop them off at the post office and I’m done for the day. I’m off Sunday from work, so I’m planning on moving my craft area up to my new craft room, YAY!!! I’ll be moving from a 6′ X 6′ area to about a 10′ X 12′ area, it might take me a bit to get used to being able to spread out a bit. I need to stay home, since my daughter had ankle surgery on Thursday and isn’t allowed to walk. She had to stay in bed with her ankle elevated for 48 hours, which is tough for her. She is allowed to get out of her bed today and move to the sofa. She gets around with crutches, but when you have a house full of stairs it’s hard.

Today’s card is another one from the Creativity Now workshop from last weekend. This one was the 1st of the masculine cards we made and once again I almost followed the directions exactly. I changed up the ink color and used an embossing folder for mine. I’ll have the advanced version for you tomorrow, which again I tweaked to my liking. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle (available in Sept-Dec. 2023 Mini Catalog) along with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the thin leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink on a Gray Granite card front. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink twice. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the die cut leaves to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment using the Deckled Rectangle Dies by lining up the bottom of the sentiment with the die. I cut the sentiment, so the bottom and sides are uneven, and the top is straight. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, over the leaves. I added a few Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals CAS Masculine 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front & flap. I stamped the thin leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That

Good Monday morning my stamping friends and Happy MAY and Happy May Day!!! How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything special? A quick reminder that today is the last day of the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS, but tomorrow is the launch of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog – with new fun goodies – new Core Colors – and new 2023-2025 In Colors!  I can’t wait!!  Today’s card uses a couple of the new Core Colors.

I have a masculine card for you today. As most of you know, I really struggle with these cards. I don’t usually have to make many, but I do like to have some on hand. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Bundle along with the Basics 3D Embossing Folder, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. The stamp set and dies will be carrying over to the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, but not at the bundle price. Today is the last day to get the bundle price saving 10%.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Pecan Pie cardstock (available tomorrow May 2nd) using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock (available tomorrow May 2nd) using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I punched 3 strips of Hello Irresistible DSP using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the strips to the Pretty Peacock embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the car image from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set. Using my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker (available tomorrow May 2nd), I colored just the bottom sentiment on the stamp. Using my Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker (available tomorrow May 2nd), I colored just the car on the stamp. I gave is a huff to reactivate the ink and stamped the image. I cut the sentiment and image out using the All That Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front over the banners using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from He’s All That stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. On the bottom of the panel, I stamped just the car image from He’s All That stamp set. I colored just the car on the stamp using Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker, gave it a little huff and stamped. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! He's All That 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the car image from He’s All That stamp set on the envelope front. I colored just the car on the stamp using my Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Amazing Year for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are ready for the weekend. Looks like we’ve got 6 more weeks of winter coming to us, the groundhog saw his shadow yesterday. I don’t know how it is by you, but it’s supposed to be cold here this weekend.

I have a quick fun fold for you today. This is not what I was planning on making Wednesday when I got stuck at work later than usual. I had everything planned out that I was going to be done with work by 1:30/2:00, I’d get home and get everything set up and be ready to go. My bills had other plans for me. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Year Cling Stamp Set from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog along with the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting 2 3/4″ off the front of the card base leaving 2 3/4″. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Timeworn Type 3d Embossing Folder. Using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker, I flicked some ink on the panel to give a splattered look. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Amazing Year stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored just the flowers using my sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut a panel of Sweet Sorbet cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered the artwork to the die cut panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I tied a double bow using the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine Pack and adhered it to the floral image using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered a panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock, I stamped the sentiments from the Amazing Year stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the top of the floral image from the Amazing Year stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored just the flowers using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Amazing Year stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers only using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP to the envelope flap.
