Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature

Comments 12 comments

Here I am using the same stamp set and Paper Pumpkin pieces that I used for another card this week, only this time it is a fun fold.  As I have said before I believe this is my favorite stamp set other than Lovely As A Tree.  It would be nice if Lovely As A Tree made a comeback.  I know there are many others who love the stamp set Lovely As A Tree.  This time it could have dies with it.  In the meantime, I will continue using Spotlight On Nature.

Card Cuts:

  • Fresh Freesia cardstock
    • card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″
    • small card — 3″ x 8″ scored @ 4″

  • Vellum  4″ x 5″ for circle

.

Emboss the background piece using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.  Adhere all the pieces to their mat Goil Foil mats, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  After adhering to the mats, adhere the pieces to the card base.  Using Glue Dots where they will not show, glue the circle die cut from Vellum using a die from Spotlight On Nature Dies to the front flap.  On Basic White cardstock stamp the flowers from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set.  Color the flowers using Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.  Fussy cut the flowers.  On Old Olive cardstock stamp in Mossy Meadow ink a leaf image from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set.  Die cut the leaves using the matching die from Spotlight On Nature Dies.  Arrange the flowers and leaves over the Vellum  adhering using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Make a loopy bow, adhering the bow over the flowers with a Glue Dot.  Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Frames Stamp Set on a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Memento Black ink.  Pop the sentiment in the lower left corner.  Pop three butterflies from Brass Butterflies among the flowers.

Stamp a sentiment on the sentiment panel in Memento Black ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set.  Stamp before you adhere the panel to the mat for easier stamping.

The same flowers as the card front are stamped and colored on the Basic White envelope flap.

Paper Pumpkin Price Increase

Beginning April 11, Paper Pumpkin is increasing its subscription prices to accommodate rising manufacturing costs. All new subscriptions purchased on or after April 11 will be at the new price. 
The price increase will go toward product value—which means that demonstrators will earn more on order commissions. In addition, starting Tuesday, April 15, Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will qualify for rewards through the new Stampin’ Rewards program.

The first kit at the new price, the May Mountain Majesties Kit, will bill on May 11 at 12:01 a.m. (MT). 

STAMPIN’ REWARDS CHANGED AS OF  APRIL 15, 2025

Stampin’ Up! updated their Rewards Program beginning mid-April!

The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up!  had for many years went away on April 15, 2025.
Bottom line? You will now be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders!  
Here’s the details:

  • You will not have to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product, as it was with the previous Stampin’ Rewards system. 
  • On April 15,  2025, and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So…for example, when you place an order of $50 you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!
  • You can save your rewards for up to a year! So, you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at a time.  Boom!
  • Additionally, the “host code” is going away….so, as of April 15, 2025, you will not need to apply my current host code to your order. 

What should you know now to prepare for these changes?
Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:

  • You DO need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
    • I will NOT be able to create and manage customer accounts. I can still help you with ordering if you need me to, but, because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you’ll need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards.  So make sure you’re able to log in at stampinup.com.
  • NOTE! You must “opt in” to the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards.  When you place your first order after  April 15 – you’ll have the chance to “Opt In”.  That’s a good time to do it so you’ll earn Rewards on THAT order!  But – if you decide NOT to at that point – you can always do it on a future order! 
  • Don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account?? You can still have me place your order for you!  You won’t get the Stampin’ Rewards directly – they’ll come to me and I’ll apply them to a future order for you.
  • If you DO NOT want to “Opt in” to the rewards program, you don’t have to – you can still place orders, but be aware that you won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases. 

Again these changes will began  April 15, 2025.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Frames With Inked Occasions

Comments 0 Comment

Another card created as a Paper Pumpkin alternative.  It is a flap fun fold.  It is very easy to create.  

Card Cuts:

  • Basic White cardstock
  • card base — 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
  • Gold Foil
  • mats — (2) 1-1/8″ x 4-1/8″;  (2) 2-7/8″ x 4-1/8″
  • card from Inked Occasion Paper Pumpkin
  • focal panels — (2) 1″ x 4″; (2) 2-3/4″ x 4″
  • flowers
  • Basic White cardstock
  • inside flowers — 4″ x 5″

At the score line move the card base over to the 1-1/4″ line, cut from the score line to the card edge.  Do this on both sides.  Adhere these two pieces to the inside of the card base.  Adhere the Gold Foil to the 1-1/4″ sides, to the flap, and to the card inside, you can see the next photo in the post to see where the inside Gold Foil is placed.  Flowers from the Inked Occasion kit are popped over the flap using tiny bits of Stampin’ Dimensionals. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sentimential Frames stamp set is stamped in Memento Black in on a Crush Curry scrap, brushed with the ink using a Blending Brush, die cut using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies, then popped on the card flap using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Flowers from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set are stamped in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  The flowers are colored using Highland Heather and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends.  They are fussy cut and adhered to the inside of the flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Days Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a panel of a card from Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin.  The panel is adhered over the Gold Foil mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I used one of the envelopes in the Paper Pumpkin kit instead of adding Designer Series Paper to an envelope flap.

I am happy you stopped by today.  I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards, and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. I hope and wish you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. If you have any questions, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Abundance

The card base is Early Espresso cardstock.  A card from Paper Pumpkin Autumn Abundance is cut in half, this will allow two cards to be made instead of just the one. Both the front and back of the card has a nice design.  The card half is trimmed to fit the card base leaving a border around the panel. Using a stamp from the Paper Pumpkin Kit,  a sprig image is stamped in Cajun Craze ink  around the card front.  The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

 

A greeting from the Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set is stamped in Cajun Craze ink on a banner lable from the kit.  A strip of Cajun Craze is adhered at the bottom of the greeting, then the greeting is popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, over the loopy bow. Leaves  from the Paper Pumpkin Kit are placed behind the greeting along with a few sprigs die cut from Cajun Craze cardstock.  A snail from the Kit is popped on the corner of the greeting.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set is stamped on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Leaves are stamped in Cajun Craze and Crush Curry ink  down the side of the panel using stamps fromt the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

A Very Vanilla envelope get a panel of Neutral 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions — Thinking Of You

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions — Thinking Of You

Comments 11 comments

I am finally back to blogging after having a bout with my back and could do nothing.  As the title of a book I once read says, “I Ain’t  Well But I Sure Am Better!”  My husband has been so sweet to help me up and down and even cut the pieces for this card the way I showed him.    His creativity is the one thing that has remained, he never misses a note when he plays music and can still draw whatever I ask. We are blessed.

 

The  card today is a faux step, which is an easy, easy card to create, but it has taken me two days because of my back.  Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions, Layering Leaves, and Beach Day Stamp Set are used in this creation.  Layering Leaves and Beach Day have become my go to sets for greetings and sentiments.  They always seem to fit what I am looking to say to the person I am sending the card.

Challenges:

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge  

Creative Creases Challenge  

These are the card cuts for the card.

  • Gorgeous Grape cardstock
    • card base 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 1″, 2″, and 6-1/2″
    • small card for top — 3″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 3″
  • Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper
    • large mat for backgound on step  — 4″ x 4-1/4″
    • step — 3/4″ x 4″
  • Basic White cardstock
    • inside sentiment & back panels  — 4″ x 4-1/4″
    • art piece panel on card front — 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″

Fold on the score lines of the card base to create the step.  Burnish well so the card will stand well.  Fold and burnish the small card for the front.  

Adhere the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper to the background of the step and to the step.  The Designer Series Paper on the step is the reverse side of the main background piece.  Adhere the little card over the card base (see photo) using adhesive of choice.

On the 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Stamp Set in Memento Black ink.  Also, stamp the single flower from the same set in the right corner of both the 4″ x 4-1/4″ Basic White cardstock pieces.

Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set about 3/4 down the Basic White piece leaving room for the flowers to be stamped. (see photo)

Color the flowers using Bubble Bath, Highland Heather, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  Die cut the images using dies from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  Place the cluster of flowers at the top of the Basic White piece so you can tell where to stamp the little flowers from Cherrful Daisies Stamp Set in Bubble Bath ink for the flowers and Old Olive ink for the leaves.  

After stamping the flowers and leaves place the cluster of flowers in the middle using Stampin’ Dimensionals for adhesive.

Stamp a sentiment in Memento Black ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set.

To cover the portion of the front panel that is adhered to the card back, adhere a piece of Basic White cardstock that has a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set stamped in Memento Black ink.  Adhere to the card back using adhesive of your choice.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
