Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Thanks

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. It’s supposed to be sunny and warm here today, a bit of a change from yesterday’s rain all day. We went to the fund raiser last night and for the 1st time in quite a few years, my daughter and I came home with 3 baskets we won. My nephew won 1 and my niece won 2. It was a good night for all or us.

I have a quick card for you today with one of the new sets from the annual catalog which happens to be one of my favorites. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! crafting With You Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Vertical Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set and Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #586.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #743.

Stampin' Up! crafting With You Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to a Bubble Bath card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! crafting With You Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the easel image from the Crafting With You stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink to the right of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Crafting With You stamp set on the easel. I inked the flower image with Bubble Bath Ink, then colored the leaves using the Parakeet Party Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Vertical Blooms stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Parakeet Party cardstock. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the flower centers.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Crafting With You stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Crafting With You stamp set on the top of the panel, I inked the stamp using Bubble Bath Ink, then I colored the leaves using the Parakeet Party Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a strip of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Parakeet Party mat then to the inside of the Bubble Bath card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Crafting With You stamp set on the envelope front, coloring the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the envelope flap.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Vertical Blooms Petal Patterns

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It’s been a bit crazy here at my house. Between getting paper shares cut and shipped out, painting, moving furniture around and trying to find time to make some cards. The next couple weeks are going to be very hectic. We’re getting new windows in a couple rooms tomorrow, then we have to get everything out of the rooms for the floors to be refinished. My husband ripped the carpet out of a couple of the bedrooms and we have hardwood floors, so they are coming to sand and refinish them. It will all look beautiful when it’s done, but until then, my house is going to be upside down.

I played with some new items for today’s card. A new stamp set, new dies, new embossing folder and new colors. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Vertical Blooms 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Vertical Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set, Petal Patterns Dies and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Vertical Blooms 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pool Party card front using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pool Party card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Vertical Blooms 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut panels of Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lolly cardstock using the Petal Patterns Dies. I adhered them together lining up the flowers. I cut 2 rows of flowers off using Paper Snips. I adhered the layered die to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Vertical Blooms 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Vertical Blooms stamp set in Azure Afternoon Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Vertical Blooms 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings set in Azure Afternoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the stem/leave image from the Vertical Blooms stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Pool Party Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Vertical Blooms stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink on the stems. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! Vertical Blooms 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem/leave images from the Vertical Blooms stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the flower images from the Vertical Blooms stamp set in Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lolly Inks on the stems.
