Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest 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 already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #213 is Winter Solace. 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! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Frosted Forest Bundle for my clean and layered card. I was inspired by the sparkly trees and the deer in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 213.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Frosted Forest 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Winter Meadow DSP to a Pebbled Path card base using Liquid Glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. Stamp the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink on the top of the card front.

From a panel of White Glimmer Paper, cut the tree dies using the Frosted Forest Dies. Using Paper Snips, snip off 2 of the trees from the 3 tree die cut. Adhere the tree with the snow drift to the bottom of the card front. Adhere the 2 snipped trees to either side of the deer image on 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! Beauty of The Deep Sea Turtles

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I’ll be working all day today and tomorrow. It’s that time of the year when everyone wants to take vacation and it always ends up being the same time.

Today’s card started out being a simple one but ended up with multiple pieces.  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! Beauty Of The Deep 
Sea Turtles 1 creativestampinngdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of the Deep Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtles Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set, Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper, Beauty of the Deep Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

I joined in with Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #441. I focused on the sea turtle in the photo.

Stampin' Up! Beauty Of The Deep 
Sea Turtles 2 creativestampinngdesigns.com

I started by stamping a panel of Winter Meadow DSP using the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Peach Pie, I stamped the coral image from Beauty of the Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I stamped the seaweed image from the Beauty of the Deep stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Shy Shamrock. Using the Beauty of the Deep Dies, I cut the stamped coral image, the seaweed image and the coral image from a panel of Highland Heather. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the detailed small turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink 3 times. I flipped the stamp over and stamped the solid turtle image in Summer Splash Ink over the detailed images. I fussy cut the images using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Beauty Of The Deep

I adhered the seaweed and Highland Heather coral to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Calypso Coral, coral image using Stampin Dimensionals. I adhered the turtles to the card front using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment on a panel of Basic White in Blueberry Bushel Ink.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Seaside Wishes stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the coral image from the Beauty of the Deep stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the small turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock and Summer Splash Inks on the top of the panel.

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. I’ll be starting all my Christmas cookie baking tomorrow bright and early. I’ll be mixing and baking all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I’m hoping to finish up Saturday early afternoon, but we’ll see what happens.

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 #202 is Christmas Cheer. 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! Merriest Trees with Bows 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the overall theme of the photo along with the colors for my Clean and Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 202.  How are you inspired by the photos?

I started by embossing a Winter Meadow DSP card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the card front panel to a Real Red mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the detailed tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the tree out with the 2nd frmo the largest tree from the Merriest Trees Dies. On the same panel of Basic White, I stamped the bow image from the Merriest Trees stamp set multiple times in Real Red Ink. I cut the bows out using the Merriest Trees Dies. I adhered the tree to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the die cut bows to the tree using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees with Bows 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the star from the panel of Basic White using the Stars At Night Dies. I adhered the star to the top of the tree using Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on the Basic White panel. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered a piece of 1/4″ Real Red Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front and star.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees with Bows 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bow image from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Real Red Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered a strip of Winter Meadow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Pebbled path card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the detailed tree image from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Versamark Ink on the envelope front. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the bow image from the Merriest Trees stamp set on the tree in Real Red Ink.

*********************************************************************************************************

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.

*********************************************************************************************************

I’m planning on going live today on my YouTube Channel at 4pm ET. I’m planning on using some of the new products from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. I hope you can join me for today’s card.

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
  • Poetic Expressions – 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! Merriest Trees Fun Fold

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week and the middle of December. I feel like yesterday was the 1st, I’m not sure what has happened to all the other days How was everyone’s weekend? It was busy at the hardware store Saturday, lots of lights and decorations were being bought. I think everyone was rushing to get decorations up outside before the bad weather hit. My husband, daughter and I went to a concert last night, it was beyond amazing with the light synching with the music and you always have to love when they play more songs than are listed on the program. It got me a little more into the Christmas spirit.

Today’s card is another one that we made at our quarterly meeting last Sunday. This beautiful card was designed by one of my team members Rosie Kean. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set and Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding the Winter Meadow DSP card base at 2″. I adhered the card base to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered card base to a Smoky Slate card mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the solid tree image from the Stamin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I cut the image out using the Merriest Trees Dies. Using the Merriest Trees Dies, I cut 2 more of the largest trees from the panels of Basic White, 3 tree stans from the panel of Pecan Pie and the garland from the Silver Foil Paper. I cut the star from the Silver Foil Paper using the Stars At Night Dies. I adhered the garland to the stamped tree using Liquid Glue. I adhered the tree stand to the back of the tree using Glue Dots. I adhered the tree to the card front, centering the tree with the edge of the card front.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the garland to the stamped tree using Liquid Glue. I adhered the tree stand to the back of the tree using Glue Dots. I adhered the tree to the card front, centering the tree with the edge of the card front. I adhered the star on the top of the tree using Liquid Glue. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the tree.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set on one of the die cut Basic Whtie trees. Using the Spong Dauber, I added Lost Lagoon Ink to the edges of the tree. I adhered one of the tree stands and the tree to the back of the card front tree, lining it up. On the other Basic White tree, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. I set the tree and tree stand on top of the card front trees and closed the card on top of it adhering it with Liquid Glue. Doing this assured that the trees would all be lined up.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the top of the solid tree image from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the details tree image from Merriest Trees stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink over the solid image. I adhered a panel of Winter Meadow 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! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Saturday was busy at work so the day went pretty quick. Sunday here in NJ was rain, rain, rain. It was a great day to stay in and decorate, which I did a little of in the morning. We had our quarterly team meeting yesterday, which was in person. I always love getting together with my team members, they are all the nicest people you would ever want to know. There’s a little bit of business for the meetings, then it’s time to stamp, chat, laugh and just have a great time.

Today’s card is one that I presented yesterday at out meeting and others stamped along. There were 3 of us presenting and we used a bundle that is carrying over from the September – December Mini 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! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle along with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. All of these items will be carrying over which I’m so happy about.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a Winter Meadow DSP card front to a Misty Moonlight mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Merriest Trees Dies, I cut the largest and 2nd largest tree from a panel of Basic White. I cut the largest tree again using the 3rd largest and smallest tree die. I cut the 2nd largest tree again using the 4th largest tree die.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed all the tree pieces using the Snowflake Sky EF. Using a Sponge Dauber, I sponged some Misty Moonlight Ink along the bottom edges of each piece. To assemble the tree, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals only along the bottom edges. I stamped the tree trunk image from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink on the panel of Basic White. I cut the trunk out using the Merriest Trees Dies. I adhered the trunk to the back of the tree using a Glue Dot. I adhered the tree to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon and adhered it to the top of the tree using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of Winter Meadow DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees in Misty Moonlight 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Winter Meadow DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun Fold Friday and welcome to December. The last month of the year already and only 24 days till Christmas. I’ll be working all day today getting out all the bills. I’m hoping to get some more decorating done after work today. I still have a little bit to do. I did get a Christmas tree up in my crafting studio on Wednesday with the help of my friend. Barbara. I’ll post a picture soon.

Today’s card uses products that will be carrying over from the September-December Mini Catalog, along with my favorite colors. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 1 creativeastampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 2 creativeastampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a Winter Meadow DSP card front. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the card front panel to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal then to a Pretty Peacock mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 3 creativeastampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White, I cut the tree pieces using the Merriest Trees Dies. I embossed the tree pieces using the Snowflake Sky EF. Using a Sponge Dauber, I added some Lost Lagoon Ink to the bottom edges of all the tree pieces. I adhered the tree together using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the bottom edges of the pieces. I adhered a smaller Winter Meadow DSP card front panel to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the small Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 4 creativeastampingdesigns.com

I adhered the tree to the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a solid star using the Merriest Trees Dies from a scrap of Holographic Trio Spec Paper. I cut the details star using the Merriest Trees Dies from a scrap of Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper. I adhered the detailed star to the solid star and adhered it to the top of the tree using a Glud Dot. I adhered the small card base to the larger layered panel using Liquid Glue. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 5 creativeastampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of the Winter Meadow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the small Pretty Peacock card baes.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold 6 creativeastampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the top of the tree image from the Merriest Trees stamp set on the envelope front in Lost Lagoon Ink. I stamped the top of the details tree image from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink over the solid image. I adhered a panel of Winter Meadow 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.

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

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.

Stampin’ Up! Winter Biggest Wish & Designer Series Paper Shares Open

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all doing well today and your week has started off good. I normally don’t work on Tuesday’s, but I’ll be working all day today at the dog bakery.

A couple weeks ago we had our monthly stamping studio. After the business part we did a little mystery stamping. It’s always so much fun to see how everyone’s card comes out. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 1 creativestampindesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 2 creativestampindesigns.com

I started by embossing a Lost Lagoon card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lost Lagoon card base using Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of Winter Meadow DSP to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Lost Lagoon card base on an angle using Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Magic DSP to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front on an opposite angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 4 creativestampindesigns.com

On a panel of Pretty Peacock, I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set is with the Heat Tool. I cut the 2 – 1″ squares into banners using Paper Snips. I adhered the banners to the back of the sentiment using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive=Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Winter 5 creativestampindesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Biggest Wish stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Winter Meadow DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

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.
