October Stampin Creative Blog Hop – Remember!

Posted by Dawn Bourgette on
October 29th, 2020

Hello! Welcome once again to our monthly “Stampin Creative” Global Blog Hop! I’m so happy you are hoppin` around with us.

This month’s theme is “Rember” and I have to admit, at first I was stumped. I started my paper addiction as a scrapbooker – I tried stamping and I was hooked! It was a smaller “canvas” to work on and I felt I could get more accomplished making cards than the time it would take me to do a 2 paqge spread. Can anyone relate?

Needless to say.. I wanted to challenge myself. The word “Remember” lead me to trying a scrapbook page.

We recently carved a few pumpkins for the Inn which greet each guest just outside the lobby door. I decided I needed to get a few photos – but with my most favorite pumpkins of all.. my 2 furbabies Krystal and Ruby. Aren’t they the cutest Cocker Spaniels ever?

Ok I’m partial.. but lets get back to the hop! LOL

So, I decided to take this picture and scrapbook it! (I know.. don’t fall off of your chair!) Stampin Up!’s amazing products make it so easy to mix and match – weather you are memory keeping, making cute gifts or card making.

Here is my 12×12 scrapbook page mixing it up with some products from the Annual Catalog, Holiday Catalog and our September 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit!

Now, lets hang out with our Global friends blogs and check out there beautiful creations! If you have time, please leave a comment and let me know you were here! Just click on the little “speak bubble” just under the title of the post today – its that easy!



Here are the supplies I used:

Thanks again for visiting – remmeber… the Designer Series Paper Sale is still going on and that awesome Plaid Tidings DSP is 15% off! (its my FAVORITE!).

Happy Hoppin!

September 24th, 2020

Hello there! Welcome to the Stampin Creative Blog Hop today! This month for September, we are featuring Fancy Folds!

One of my all time favorite “fancy folds” is the Double Z Fold Card. Its so easy, and it displays our Designer Series Papers so well!

For me, its all about Halloween. I love fall, and I love the Halloween Holiday. Lets check out my creation:

So, let’s check out the “recipe” and digits for you:

Stamp Set / Bundle Hallows Night Magic

Paper: Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Hallows Night Magic DSP

Ink: Memento Black Ink

Other Supplies: Heat Tool, White Embossing Powder, Stampin Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, 3/8 inch organdy glittered black ribbon, iridescent pearls,

  1. Cut the Black card stock at 11 x 4 1/4 inches and score along the long side at 51/2 and 8 1/4 inches. Cut the DSP at 5 1/4 and 4 inches and add it to the back.
  2. Cut the Cajun Craze card stock at 3 1/4 inches x 10 inches and score along the long side at 4 1/2 and 7 1/4 inches. Fold on the scores and cut the DSP at 4 1/4 x 3 inches and 3 x 2 1/2 inches. Layer to the panels.

  4. Cut out the larger label die in Basic Black card stock. Using some scrap, stamp in black the “label” stamp and cut out with the smaller label die. Adhere each layer with dimensionals. Using the larger bat stamp, use the Versamark ink pad, and stamp on a basic black piece of scrap. Using the bat die, cut them out after heat embossing them. and attach with a dimensional.

Stampin Creative Blog Hop! February Theme: Case Shelli!

Posted by Dawn Bourgette on
February 27th, 2020



Thank you so much for stopping by today! We at the Stampin Creative Crew are celebrating February with Case-ing Shelli (Gardner). By CASEing, I mean Copy and Share Everything. I love Shelli’s style. And, while at Onstage last November, I was drooling over this card Shelli created and could not wait to re-create it… CASE it! And, since Easter is “around the corner”, I thought I’d share this with you!

Let’s check out what I created!

I decided to do two projects – 1 3D and 1 Card. Both are “hinged” with a brad. I loved that Shelli showed this on stage. What a brilliant idea with the Dino Dies! They coordinate with our new Easter stamp set in the Spring Mini Catalog, called Full Of Happiness!


This is a very small box that may fit a few candies or a pair of earings. I hinged the Dino Egg with a brad and hid it with a ribbon and have the bunny popping up to greet you. The bunny is from the Spring Mini Catalog, called Welcome Easter!

So, I admit, I was not really thrilled with this chick.. until I started to create with this stamp set. Again, I used the Dino Dies, and the Full Of Happiness Stamp Set. I heat embossed the Best Dressed DSP with white embossing powder to give it a polished look. I cut the flower image out of the Best Dressed DSP and popped it up with dimensionals. I used Wink Of Stella, to pretty it up a little and give it some sparkle!

Now, please make sure to visit my friends blogs and check out all of the fun creations this month of February!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! We appreciate you being a part of this months blog hop!

Now, make something pretty and get inky!!! *hugs*

Stampin Creative Blog Hop! “Hearts Of Friendship”

Posted by Dawn Bourgette on
January 30th, 2020

Welcome to the Stampin Creative Blog Hop! This month we are featuring “hearts of friendship”.. since we all love our family and friends dearly, why not spread the love!

I love the new “Pleased As Punch” DSP that will be available to everyone on February 4th 2020! Check it out! It works with our Heart Punches, Umbrella Punch, Tulip Punch (in our 2020 Mini Catalog) and our Small Bloom Punch (free Sale A bration Item #152316 with a $100 min. purchase).

Let’s check out my project:

Let’s share some digits and directions:

Cut a piece of Whisper White Card stock at 4 1/4 in x 11 inches

Score at 5 1/2 inches

Using the Pleased as Punch DSP (available on February 4 – March 31st) Cut a strip at 1/2 inch x 5 1/2 inches, also cut a piece at 1/4 inches x 5 1/2 inches and adhere to each end of the front of the card with Snail Adhesive.

Punch out the flowers from a piece of DSP with the Sale A Bration item, the Small Bloom Punch (item 152316 as a level 2 SAB item.. FREE with a $100 purchase).

Using the Heart Punch in our Mini Catalog (item #151292 $34.00 set of 2), and punch out a heart out of the Pleased As Punch DSP (item #153558 $11.50). Take a pencil and lightly trace the heart.

Using the flowers you punched, use glue dots and adhere the flowers with the glue dots round the traced heart shape. Stamp a sentiment on the heart you punched and then adhere to the punched area on top of the flowers, with dimemsionals.

Using a few spare flowers you have ;unched attached on the right side of the card as an accent. Use basic rhinestones to add a little bling to the middle of the flowers and on the heart.

Now, grab a cup of your favorite beverage and join us in the “love-ly” hop. My friends and I hope to inspire you with some fun creations to show your love to your friends and family! Click on the links below to hop around:
