Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature in Gold

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. Hope is your weekend going? We’re supposed to get a significant amount of snow today, we’ll see what happens. I don’t believe the weathermen anymore, I usually wait until that day to see what’s going to accumulate.

Have you ever made a card with a certain person in mind that you want to send it to? That’s my card for today. I’m mailing it out tomorrow to someone who might just need a little pick me up.  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! Spotlight on Nature in Gold 1 creativestampingdeisgns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature Cling Stamp Set, along with the Stampin’ Up! Wild Ferns Bundle, and Golden Greenery Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #825

I also played along with TGIF Theme Challenge #TGIFC508

Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature in Gold 2 creativestampingdeisgns.com

Stamp the flower and butterfly images from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Golden Greenery Vellum Paper. Sprinkle the images with Gold Embossing Powder and set them using the Heat Tool. Flip the Vellum Paper over to the backside and color the inside of the flowers and butterfly images using Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Adhere the Vellum Paper to a panel of Basic White. Wrap a piece of Balmy Blue Baker’s Twine around the layered panel 3 times and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the Bubble Bath card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wild Ferns Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest rectangle die from the Wild Ferns Dies. Cut a panel of Gold Foil using the largest rectangle die from the Wild Ferns Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment over the Baker’s Twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Iridescent Foil Gems to the card front.

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.

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! Simply Zinnia in Pastels 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 Color Challenge and they are my FAVORITE colors, the Subtles. 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 colors.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder along with the Lighter Than Air 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Wild Fern Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Lighter Than Air DSP to a Balmy Blue card base using Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Basic White using the Zinnia 3D EF and adhered it to a Balmy Blue mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large zinnia flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I used Smoky Slate Ink to keep with the pastel look of the card. I cut the image out using the Simply Zinnia Dies. I colored the image using the Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the flower image to the card front using Stamin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a strip of Basic White. I cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. I tied a bow using the Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack and adhered it to the flower stem using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Wild Fern stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large zinnia flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Lighter Than Air DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Pastels 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large zinnia flower form the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Lighter Than Air DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Beauty Fern

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you weekend is going well. It is cold and windy here in NJ. I’m still not 100% so I’ve been staying inside and still resting as much as possible. 

I have a quick card today using a couple new sets from the new catalog. I’m also using the 2022-2024 In-Colors again. These colors will be retiring this year so be sure that you have the colors that you really like before they retire. 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! Botanical Beauty Fern 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Beauty Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Wild Fern Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Beauty Fern 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the large image from the Botanical Beauty stamp set on a panel of Starry Sky in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the stamped card front to a Parakeet Party mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Beauty Fern 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine around the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Starry Sky card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Beauty Fern 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wild Fern Cling Stamp Set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest rectangle from the Wild Fern Dies. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the fern image from the Wild Fern stamp set in Parakeet party Ink. I cut the image out using the Wild Fern Dies. From a small panel of Parakeet Party, I cut out 3 of the small ferns using the Wild Fern Dies. I adhered the sentiment over the Baker’s Twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the stamped fern behind the sentiment using Glue Dots. I adhered the smaller die cut ferns using Liquid Glue. I added a few of the 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Beauty Fern 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Wild Fern stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I stamped the fern image from the Wild Fern stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped full strength and then stamped off on scrap paper once. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Parakeet Party mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Beauty Fern 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fern image from the Wild Fern stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped some full-strength Ink and some I stamped off once on scrap paper.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Beauty Fern 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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.
