Stampin’ Up! Softly Said

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. This is the final countdown to Christmas. Have you gotten your shopping done, decorated and baking done? My decorating is done. I’ve gotten most of my baking done, I just have a little bit to finish up today. I haven’t gotten my cards out yet or gone shopping. I’m hoping to get some shopping done this weekend. I’m planning on writing out my cards this morning and get any finishing touches done on my cookies after that. I’m hoping to do a little bit of shopping when my daughter gets home from work with my car and maybe do some tomorrow. I made sure I had the whole weekend off to get all my baking done, and I got a lot more than I expected done yesterday. 

I have a quick card for you today using some Online Exclusive products. If you’d like to see how I made this card, Click Here to see my Instagram Reel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Softly Said Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used some Online Exclusive products for my card today. I used Stampin’ Up! Softly Said Cling Stamp Set and Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper. I also used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #324.

Stampin' Up! Softly Said Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Delightful Floral DSP card front to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Berry Burst card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Softly Said Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Delightful Floral DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Softly Said stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest die from the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Softly Said Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered sentiment panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered 3 small knots to the card front with Glue Dots, that I made using the Pretty Peacock 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (available January 4th).

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on the bottom of the panel, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the panel, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Berry Burst card base.

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.

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):

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6

  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 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″ × 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.

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.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 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 or Baker’s Twine.

Stampin’ Up! Delightful Translucent Florals & Clearance Rack Refresh

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you week has started off good. I get to bring my puppy to a new vet today. I’ve gotten nothing but amazing feedback from this vet and I’m looking forward to meeting them. I don’t know if Coraline is since it means she has to get in the car. She does not like card rides. We try to bring her on a lot of short rides, but it hasn’t helped.

I played with some of the new Online Exclusive DSP for my card today. These new papers are so pretty. Have you checked them out yet? If you’d like to see a quick video of my card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Translucent Florals 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle along with the Online Exclusive Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper and the Banner Pick A Punch for my card today.

My design is from the Sunday Stamps Challenge #318.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Translucent Florals 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Delightful Floral DSP to a Pretty Peacock card bae using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Delightful Floral DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Translucent Florals 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Banner PIck A Punch, I cut 2 strips of Delightful Floral DSP on 1 end. I adhered the banners to the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Translucent Florals 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Calypso Coral Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 2 times. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink 2 times, stamping off on scrap paper once. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the flower. I adhered the leaves to the back of the flower using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower to the card front over the banners using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Blooming Pearls to the card front.

I stamped the leaves from the Translucent Florals stamp set by the flowers in Pretty Peacock Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals In Dotted Purple

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s 4th? I hope you were able to enjoy the day and hopefully end it with a great display of fireworks. It was HOT and humid here in NJ. I made the mistake in the morning and went out to do a little weeding. Between the heat and humidity, I ended up feeling sick for a couple hours. I was able to finish up the last of my craft room. I need to get a couple pictures for the walls still, but I got everything where I think I will like it. I have a class tonight, so I was able to navigate around finding things to get the packets cut up.

Today’s card is the advanced version of yesterday’s, which was the last card we did at the Creativity Now event. I hope after seeing all the cards that have been going around you have this bundle on your want list from the upcoming mini catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Purple 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements Photopolymer Stamp Set, Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper, Striped & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Purple 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Purple 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd smallest Deckled Rectangle Dies keeping the sentiment to the right of the panel. I adhered the sentiment to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Purple 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the leaf panel of Vellum Basics Paper, I colored the backside of the paper using the Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Marker. I cut 2 of the single leaf pieces using the Translucent Florals Dies. On the dot pattern of Vellum Basics Paper, I colored the backside using the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut 2 of the small flowers and 2 of the larger flowers using the Translucent Florals Dies. On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink 2 times. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the flowers together using a Glue Dot. I adhered the leaves to the back of the flowers using Glue Dots. I adhered the flowers to the card front using Glue Dots. I added Classic Matte Dots to the center of the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Purple 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Highland heather Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set by the flower in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Purple 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals White on White

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends and Happy 4th Of July!!!! I hope you all have some fun activities planned for today. It’ll be a fairly quiet one here since my daughter is recovering from her surgery. I’m planning on putting the finishing touches on my craft room today. I think I have everything where I want it, but I won’t be sure until I start making cards and see where everything is. I’ve already rearranged about 6 times.

Today’s card was one of two of the last set of cards we made at the Creativity Now event a couple weeks ago. I’ll have the advanced version for you tomorrow. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals White on White 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! translucent Florals Bundle which will be available for purchase from the September – December 2023 Mini Catalog. I also used the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and the Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals White on White 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White using the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals White on White 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the smaller panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals White on White 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the small panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Garden Green Ink I cut the image out using the Translucent Florals Dies. On a panel of Vellum Paper, I colored the 3/4 of the back of the paper using the Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the rest using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Translucent Florals Dies, I cut 2 of the small flowers from the Calypso Coral colored section and the single leaf from the Granny Apple Green colored section. I adhered the flower pieces together using a Glue Dot. I adhered the stamped and vellum leaves behind the flower using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a Matte Black Dot to the flower center.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals White on White 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the medium floral image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Garden Green Ink by the flower. I adhered the basic White panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals White on White 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium floral image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Garden Green Ink around the flowers.

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Masculine Birthday

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is your weekend going? What kind of plans do you have for today? I’ll be organizing my new craft room most of the day. Luckily, we have water again. There was a big water main break Friday evening here in our town which affected 3 towns. We were without water for a few hours on Friday night, then we got it back with very low pressure (barely enough to wash your face and hands). We were put in the ‘boil all water’ before cooking or drinking conditions. Saturday, we got it back with better pressure, and there was a mandatory outdoor conservation ban issued to reduce water usage due to a loss of pressure caused by a water main break and still boil for at least 1 minute before using it. I’m hoping for that message today that we can go back to normal use. Things always seem to happen on a holiday weekend.

Today’s card was the advanced version of yesterday’s masculine card. I changed the colors up for mine and I had to substitute Embossing Powder for Embossing Paste since I didn’t have any. Here’s my card for today.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

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

I started by stamping the thin leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set 3 times in Copper Clay Ink on a Copper Clay card front. Using the Translucent Florals Dies, I cut an old, retired panel of cardstock to make a mask cutting 3 leaves from the top and 3 leaves from the bottom. I placed the mask on top of the card front and secured it with Post-It Note Tape. Using my Versamark stamp pad, I patted all around to make sure the ink got on the leaf openings. I removed the mask and sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the card front to a Copper Clay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

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

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink twice. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the 2 leaf dies to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

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

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Copper Clay Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Rectangle Dies lining up the bottom of the sentiment with the die so the bottom and sides are rough edges and the top is straight. I adhered as piece of Copper Clay 3/8″ Textures Ribbon to the bottom back of the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the thin leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Copper Clay Ink around the large leaf image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the thin leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front and 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.

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.

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 in Poppy Parade

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? We were having bad thunderstorms all day yesterday. Just when I was getting ready to leave for work the sky opened up. I decided to wait a few minutes before leaving since I walk to work. Then again, I was packing up to come home from work and a loud crash of thunder and the sky opened up again. My office is in the middle of the store with no windows and an attic area above me and it sounded like the roof was going to cave in. As soon as the rain let up, I walked very quickly home but it was hours before the thunder and lightning stopped. My tomato plants looked like they were going to float away. It finally stopped raining for a little and I brought the puppy out for a quick walk since she was cooped up all day in the house. I heard thunder in the distance again, so we walked quickly to get home. Not quick enough though, the sky opened up on us and her and I looked like we just got out of a shower. You’d think with the way the weather was all day I’d think to put a raincoat on, but NO.

Today’s card was the first card we made for the Creativity Now workshop this weekend. I almost followed the directions exactly, then I decided I needed to tweak it a bit. I even used the colors they called for, and I’m not a huge red fan. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Poppy Parade 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Cling Stamp Set which will be available in the September – December 2023 Mini Catalog. I also used the Stampin’ Up! Phrases For All Photopolymer Stamp Set and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Poppy Parade 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by randomly stamping the large, medium and small flower images from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on a Poppy Parade card front. I adhered the card front to a Poppy parade card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large and medium flower images from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink. I stamped the stem image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the flowers, flipping it over for each flower so the stem went different ways. I stamped the leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the stem. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink. I trimmed the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the strip of Poppy Parade cardstock and trimmed the ends on the same angle using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Phrases For All stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the stem and leaves in Garden Green Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Poppy parade mat then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the envelope front and flap and the large flower on the envelope flap. I stamped the stem and leaves in Garden Green Ink.

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I worked all day Saturday but had Sunday off. I was able to catch up on a workshop I had signed up for with Stampin’ Up! It was live on Saturday, but we are able to access the link until July. I was excited to see what they did with the bundle that will be available to customers in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. We also got a sneak peek at Online Exclusive products that will be available July 6th. These workshops are one of the perks of being a demonstrator. There’s information below if you would like to join and be on my team, I’d love for you to join me.

Today’s card is one of the cards from the Creativity Now Workshop. This one was the first card, but the advanced version. Of course, I made a few tweaks to make it my own. I’ll be posting the ‘CAS’ version tomorrow. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and Deckled Rectangle Dies for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Bubble Bath card bae using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink next to the large flower. I stamped the stems and leave from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the panel using the 2nd & 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies, cutting them at the same time. I adhered the die cut panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals in Bubble Bath 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Vellum Paper, I stamped the large flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink, the medium flower image in Lemon Lolly Ink and the double leaf image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the artwork using Glue Dots, off centering them slightly.

I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Birthday Fun Fold

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend already. This month is flying by quickly.

Today’s card I have a sneak peek for you of a bundle coming in the September – December 2023 Mini Catalog. We had our team stamping studio last night and did some mystery stamping at the end. This is what I came up with from Jaimie’s directions.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Bundle which will be available starting in September from the Mini Catalog along with the Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my tissue box card today.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring the 2 – 4 1/4″ X 5″ panels of Pretty Peacock cardstock along the 5″ side every inch. Using Tear & Tape, I adhered the ends together making 2 boxes. I adhered the 2 boxes together using Tear & Tape just on the ends of the boxes. I adhered the 4 pieces of Glorious Gingham DSP on the 2 sides and top of the boxes.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the larger flower from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Cling Stamp Set in Bubble Bath Ink. I stamped the medium flower from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I stamped the sprig image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink 3 times and the leaf image 2 times in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut all the images out using the Translucent Florals Dies along with the stem die from a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I cut the largest circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the circle twice. I adhered the stems using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers and leaves on the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs behind the flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tiny flower image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink in the corners. I adhered the sentiment to ta Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card base blocks using Glue Dots. I wrapped a piece of Bubble Bath 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack around the front box and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back, I cut out another one of the largest circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the circle. I stamped the larger floral image in Bubble Bath Ink and the sprig image in Lemon Lolly Ink. I adhered the circle to the front circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and inserted it between the 2 boxes using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and floral images from the Translucent Florals stamp set on the envelope front in Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Inks. I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham DSP to the envelope flap.
