Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. We’re almost to the weekend, YAY!!! Is anyone starting to make plans? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and we have our quarterly team meeting on Sunday.

I have a drapery fold card for you today using a couple of the new 2024-2026 In-Colors. 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! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle, Unbounded Beauty DSP and Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Her is the template I used for the card front.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring an Unbounded Beauty DSP card front using the Simply Score. I folded the DSP making the 4″, 7″ & 10″ score lines mountain folds and the 3″, 6″ & 9″ scorelines valley folds. Once it was folded, I trimmed 1/4″ off the side using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the drapery card front to a Summer Splash mat using Liqui Glue.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Pretty In Pink 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around the top of the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Pretty in Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty in Pink Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut the flower out using the Flowers of Beauty Dies. I cut the 2 leaf dies using the Unbounded Love Dies from a panel of Summer Splash. I adhered the die cut leaves to the bottom of the panel using a Glue Dot. I adhered the flower on top of the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set on the panel of Basic White in Summer Splash Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outlined flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I stamped the solid flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Summer Splash mat then to the inside of the Pretty in Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower and leaf images from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Birthday

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s supposed to be a beautiful day here in NJ today. I’m hoping to take Coraline for a little walk or 2 today.

Today I played with all new products from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog again. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to a Petunia Pop card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 more panels of Unbounded Beauty DSP to Petunia Pop mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the long-layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue and the shorter layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Petunia Pop using the Eyelet EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the top and bottom. From a panel of Shy Shamrock, I cut the leaf frame and the leaves using the Unbounded Love Dies. From a panel of Basic White, I cut the leaf frame using the Unbounded Love Dies.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Shy Shamrock leaf frame and leaves to the card front using Liquid Glue. On the inside of the Basic White leaf frame I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petunia Pop Ink. I adhered the Basic White center to the Shy Shamrock leaf frame using Liquid Glue. I added a few of the 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the detailed leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, inside the detailed leaves. I adhered a strip of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shy Shamrock mat then to the inside of the Petunia Pop card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope front and stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop Ink on the strip. I stamped the detailed leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Shy Shamrock Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, inside the detailed leaf image. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? Are you getting ready for the weekend? I know I am. it’s been a busy week for me, a lot of running around, working and getting catalogs packed up and shipped out to all my customers. If you are a customer of mine, you should be receiving yours shortly, unless you already did.

Today’s card we made at our Stamping Studio on Tuesday night for our Mystery Stamping. I had to leave the meeting early for an appointment, so I never heard the final card instructions, so I did what I thought was correct. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 1st) along with the Online Exclusive Designer Tags Dies, the retiring Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set, the retiring Inked Botanicals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the retiring Tailor Made Tags for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Liquid Glue. (this is actually the card base).

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut sprigs from panels of Crushed Curry and Lost Lagoon using the Designer Tags Dies. I cut a butterfly from a panel of Petal Pink using the Designer Tags Dies. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I cut the tag out using the retiring Tailor-Made Tags. I threaded a piece of the White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack through the top of the tag.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Jaimie talked us through making the origami envelope for the front of the card using a 6 X 6 panel of DSP. I used a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP for mine. I wrapped a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon around the envelope, adhering it on the back with Glue Dots. I adhered the envelope to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs behind the envelope using Glue Dots and Butterfly to the card front using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the sides of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crushed Curry mat using Stampin’ Seal. This little card gets tucked inside the envelope. I tied the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon around the envelope and tied a bow. I attached the sentiment tag to the Lost Lagoon Ribbon. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the envelope front multiple times without reinking the stamp. I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals 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! Layers Of Beauty 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.

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 #206 is April Flowers. 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! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Bundle and the New Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (both items will be available starting May 1st), along with the Nested Essentials Dies and Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder for today’s card. I was inspired by the flowers in the photo and the colors of the flowers for my Clean and Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 206.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. Using Blending Brushes and the Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks, I added Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Inks. I cut the image out using the Layers of Beauty Dies.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest banner die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the floral image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the small flower centers.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Lover stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink. I stamped the large flower image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set over the sentiment in Bubble Bath Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Basic White mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base,

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the large floral image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Baby Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend. Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day, sunny and cool all day. I was out multiple times taking Cora for little walks. For the most part, I was in my craft studio designing cards for an upcoming vendor event. The event is next month and I’ll be holding classes at it. I’ll be doing a beginner class, an intermediate and an advanced. I had to get cards designed for each of the classes so I could send them pictures to advertise with.

Today’s card is one of the cards I designed for one of the classes next month. I’m trying to get a variety of cards. Since the event is at the end of the month, I needed to use products that I know will be available, and this DSP is one that will be carrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 1) along with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set, and Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of the Countryside Inn DSP using the 4th largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I adhered the DSP panel to the Basic White embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set and the Something Fancy stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the eggs using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap.
