Stampin’ Up! Pattern of Friendship Birthday

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. Happy middle of July. This month is just flying by. How is everyone doing today? My area of NJ was under water with flash floods last night from all the rain. Even our major highways were flooded. We were ok by my house.

I played with one of my favorite packs of DSP for today’s card. I love the subtles so much. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Pattern of Friendship Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pattern of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Paper Tags Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stamp the sentiment from the Pattern of Friendship stamp set on the panel of Wildflower Birthday DSP in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Adhere the embossed panel to the top of the Pretty in Pink panel with Stampin’ Seal.

Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

As of last night, July 14th, we’re at $170 of the $500 to be donated. We can Do this!!!

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

  • For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.
    • You’ll earn your Creative Stamping Designs Rewards with all order of $50 or more (before tax & shipping).
    • Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

OR…

2. – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Mercury One at this LINK

  • For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Mercury One and you’ll be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be give away on July 20th.

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

  • If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses.  Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine.

NOTE: Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight Eastern Time on Saturday July 19 to be entered to win the machine.  One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Sunday July 20th from all of the entries received.

Any questions, please send me an email to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com. I appreciate your help more than I can express.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. We’re just about to the end of January too, which means Sale-a-bration is halfway through.

I mixed up some things for today’s card. I love using stamp sets and DSP that are not in a suite together. 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! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder and Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss a Basic White card front using the Beautiful Butterflies EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere 2 panels of Wildflower Birthday DSP to 2 Blueberry Bushel mats using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the 1st layered panel to the left side of the card front towards the top using Liquid Glue. Adhere the 2nd layered panel next to the 1st slightly down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. Adhere the sentiment panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhered the layered panel to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Stampin’ Seal. Add a few Party Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the butterfly image from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink next to the sentiment. Cut the 2″ X 2″ panel of Wildflower Birthday DSP in half on an angle. Adhere the 2 triangles to the corners of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the butterfly images from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Blueberry Bushel and Pretty in Pink Inks on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Wildflower Birthday 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.

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 Said Wildflower Birthday

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Our temperatures are dropping here in NJ this week. We did get a bit of snow yesterday, enough that they even came and plowed our road last night. I’m guessing the snow is going to stay for a while since it’s going to be so cold.

My card today is a pretty simple one where I let the DSP do the work for me. 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! Simply Said Wildflower Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper along with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set, Spotlight on Nature Dies and Stampin’ Up! Simple Birthday Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

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.
