Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia in Purple

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. Today’s the DAY!!! The Designer Series Paper Sale has started. You’ve got those Bonus Days Coupons from July that you earned, so this is a great time to stock up on that DSP and save.

I played with the Online Exclusive Suite Collection today. My upline Jaimie is doing a new weekly creative challenge with us and I just happened to have purple flowers ready to go. She rolled dice to come up with 3 numbers that each have colors, elements and theme. This week was purple, embossing folder and thank you. 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 Zinnia in Purple 1 creativestampimgdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. I also used the Unbounded Love Dies and the new Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper that will be available in the September – December 2024 Mini Catalog for my card today.

Cut 3 flower centers from Berry Burst and 3 detailed flower centers from Lemon Lolly. Cut 2 of the star flowers from Berry Burst. Cut 2 of the flower buds from Petunia Pop.

Adhere the flower bud to the stem using a Glue Dot and adhere it under the flowers using Liquid Glue. Adhere the sprigs using Liquid Glue and the star flowers to the sprigs using Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Happiest Day

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend!! Does anyone have plans in the works? I’ll be at work all day and it’s going to be a busy one. Once a year we have a bucket sale for The Children’s Miracle Network. Customers pay a $5 donation for a bucket and everything they can fit into it they get 20% off of. We usually do very well with this one especially since it goes to our local hospital. We’re supposed to go to a concert tonight, but the weather doesn’t look so good, severe thunderstorms, and it’s an outside concert.

I played with Online Exclusive products for today’s card again. I feel like I’ve rediscovered a bundle. 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 Zinnia CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you all remember to spring ahead with your clocks. Most of ours do it on their own, so I only had a couple to take care of. It poured here in NJ yesterday and last night. I’m just so tired of all the rain. I have hydrangeas all around my home. One of the one’s in my backyard is not surviving all the rain, I’m going to have to try to save it by transplanting it to dryer grounds. My backyard is a giant sponge.

Today I have a super simple quick and easy card for you using some Online Exclusive products. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set along with the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP using the Zinnia EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I tied a small bow using the 1/8″ Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Shining Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I adhered a strip of Flowering Zinnia DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia CAS 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!!

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:   AHZBFDC4

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.
