Let’s look more closely at this card with some other photos.

What’s neat about this fun fold is the way it opens and flips or flaps one way or the other while the center remains intact. It’s hard to describe, but it can close either way & it fits in a standard A2 envelope.

How to make this card… and it might help to do a template first! This is called a flip-flap card.

  • Card base is 6 3/4 x 5 1/2. Mark all four sides lightly with a pencil at the 1 1/4″ mark.
  • With the long side at top, score at 2 3/4 & 4″ both above & below the 1 1/4″ mark
  • With the long side at top and the right edge at the 1 1/4 mark on the right side of the paper trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 4 1/4″ (or the pencil mark). Follow this with long side at top for the opposite side.
  • With short side at top & the right edge of paper at the 1 14″ mark on the right side of the trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 2 3/4″. Flip paper over & with short side at top, do same on opposite end.
  • You have now connected the cuts, leaving the center held at top & bottom between the scored areas of 2 3/4″ & 4″ 😀
  • Burnish the scores as mountain & valley.
  • Now you may decorate! Be sure to erase your pencil lines prior to adding your DSP pieces 😁 Long panels on both right & left are 1 1/8 x 5 3/8 (cut 2 for front & 2 for back. Add these with adhesive of choice. Short sections at top & bottom are the same dimensions: 1 3/8 x 1 1/8, 1 1/8 x orate.1 1/8 & 1 3/8 x 1 1/8. Cut 4 of each for both front & back. Adhere appropriately. The center section is 4 1/8 x 2 7/8 (cut 2 – one for front & one for back). Adhere & decorate.
  • You can see I used the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP & the Lily of the Valley stamp set for the one sentiment (to one of the nicest people I know) stamped in Garden Green ink. The colored butterflies were done using the Hot Foil machine on Willow White paper then colored after the foil process with Stamp[in’ Blends: Blackberry Bliss & Pool Party. The small foil dies were die cut from Gold Foil using the Butterfly Flight Dies. The happy birthday sentiment was made with the hot foil system using White Will & of course the gold foil for the system & heated then die cut – Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies. All butterflies were added with dimensionals.

For the envelope…only the flap was decorated – using a pattern from the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP.

– A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you

do!). You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.

– The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160.  Dies & foil are sold separately.

– IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling. You cannot die cut using foiling dies. Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

For now – think about it – get excited – and – you can order it from me here

Stampin’ Up! More Shaped Cards

Posted on by
2

Happy belated fourth! It has been beastly hot here on the East Coast – 104 yesterday with a heat index of 111. I’ve been playing again… more shaped cards; one of which we made in card class Jul 2.

Stampin' Up! Bloom Bouquet Shaped Card front

This first card begins with the Scalloped Blooms Dies, the largest & next to largest.The card stock is Lost Lagoon 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 14. This could make a portrait or a landscape card depending on where you place the flowers & leaves, sentiment. As you can see I chose landscape. With the fold at the top, lay the die so it uses most of the card – with maybe 5 of the scallops not on the card stock. (see photo) Run it through the die cutting machine twice so it cuts through both layers of card stock. Now cut the next layer with the next smaller Scalloped Blooms Die – here I used Basic White and about three of the scallops are off the panel. Layer these together with liquid glue – and decorate.

Stampin' Up! Bloom Bouquet Shaped card how to die cut
Stampin' Up! Bloom Bouquet shaped card cut

With Bouquet Blossoms stamp set, I stamped two of the same flower & the smaller buds with Basic Gray ink then colored with Barely Blush for one & The Shimmer Brush in Barely Blush for the other. I also used Golden Glow on that same flower for the center, then die cut these. I then die cut two three-section leaves from Lost Lagoon, then one more flower from Shimmer Paper in Barely Blush (that die cut is different!) I stamped a sentiment from the Bouquet Blossoms stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink & set it aside. The darker flower got dimensionals, the lighter stamped flower was attached with liquid glue then a dimensional on the right side. The bud die cut was slipped under & attached with a dab of liquid glue, then the leaves were added, also with liquid glue. The Shimmer paper flower was added last – liquid glue and a dimensional at the top to make it raised – this gives the card lots of dimension. I added the sentiment with dimensionals. Final touch – three 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Barely Blush.

For the inside… this die cut was centered, and not all the way to the fold. You can do it either way. Two more stamps from Bouquet Blossoms stamped in Basic Gray ink. The single flower is colored with the Shimmer Brush in Golden Glow. Simple – attached the inside panel – done!

Stampin' Up! Bloom Bouquet card & envelope, Shaped C ard

For the envelope… same images from the Bouquet Blossoms stamp set in Basic Gray ink stamped on the front. A 2 1/4 x 6 strip of … DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. This is a very feminine kind of card – but could easily be a wedding or anniversary card, just by changing the sentiment.

And here’s my 2nd shaped card… using the Banner Dies: 5th, 6th & 7th from the largest. It features the Silly Old Bear 12×12 DSP, Silly Old Friends bundle & the Sweet Words & Labels bundle.

Stampin' Up! Shaped Card w/ Banner Dies & Silly Old Bear Suite

The card stock base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 – Mossy Meadow. Lay the short flat edge close to the closed card base & run through the die cutting machine twice. With the 6th from largest banner die, cut the DSP two times (one for front & one for inside.) Adhere one to the card front & the other to the inside. Die cut two leaves from Mossy Meadow & two from Basic Beige using the Sweet Words & Labels Dies. Die cut the two banners: Mossy Meadow & the other from the Silly Old Bear DSP. Layer these together with liquid glue then attached over the card front with dimensionals. Add a touch of color to the leaves with Golden Glow & a sponge dauber, then slip them under the banner adhering with liquid glue. You can easily add dimensionals to the leaf ends to give them aa bit of flair.

Stampin' Up! Shaped Card inside w/ Banner Dies & Silly Old Bear

For the inside… with the 7th largest Banner Die, die cut the Basic White sentiment panel. With the Sweet Old Friends stamp set, stamp the Piglet image in Memento ink & color with Blends: Old Olive Crumb Cake & Golden Glow. Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the same Silly Old Bear stamp set. Adhere the panel to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Shaped Card & envelope w/ Silly Old Bear Suite

For the envelope… more of the Silly Old Bear 12×12 DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front – stamp the same image as inside the card & color similarly. My grandson loves Winnie the Pooh stuff & I think I need to send this to him to give to his fiancee’ – what do you think?!

And the two cards…

Posted on by

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I’m using a new item in the JULY ONLINE EXCLUSIVES called Pretty Poinsettia. It’s wonderful & works for this sketch, at least I think so. Let’s have a look…

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog hop
Stampin' Up! Hop sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Pretty Poinsettia card front

I’ve turned the sketch so it’s vertical with Barely Blush card base, Peaceful Pine layer & Smoky Slate on that. I die cut three sets of the same size poinsettias from Pretty Poinsettia Dies & attached with dimensionals. Slipped under the flowers are leaves stamped from Pretty Poinsettia stamp set & die cut with the coordinating dies… on Basic White and on Peaceful Pine – all stamped in Peaceful Pine ink and added with liquid glue. The flower centers are embellishment – 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Golden Glow then Petal Pink by the sentiment.The sentiment is stamped using the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set in Peaceful Pine ink and attached with mini dimensionals on the ends only.

And here’s the bundle…

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora Suite

OK – on to my card for today… it’s a birthday card and by all rights should be red, white & blue to celebrate our 250th.except it isn’t. Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Balloon Festoon birthday card front

I used Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to give this card a look of a real balloon. Of course it’s stamped with stars all over the front, WOW! Basics embossing powder in white then heat set. I made it off-center too – and it’s a shaped card so it opens. I tied three twine on the bottom – colored with Stampin’ Blends in Lemon Lolly & Pool Party. The sentiment banner is die cut using the Bordered in Beauty Dies but stamped with Balloon Festoon stamp set. I took my Pool Party marker & outlined it with squigles & dots. 😀 The embellishments Array of Dots in Pretty Peacock.

How to do the shaped card trick? Have the die over the fold line & die cut both card stock layers together.

Stampin' Up! Balloon Festoon inside card
Stampin' Up! Balloon Festoon shaped card & envelope

You can see in the photo above left, the inside of the card. I used the next smaller balloon die & Basic White, then trimmed off the balloon end. Then I stamped all over in various color inks: Lost Lagoon, Lemon Lolly, Barely Blush & Pool Party. These follow the colors on the balloon front. The sentiment is from Balloon Festoon stamp[ set in Pool Party ink & fussy cut with paper snips.

The photo above right shows the envelope back – another paper in the pack of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. Such a fun shaped card! We’re doing this & other shaped cards in my card class July 2

Stampin’ Up! Phrases & Frames Sympathy Card

Posted on by
4

Oh my – June is almost gone – what happened to the days??? I have a sympathy card for you today using the pretty Phrases & Frames Bundle with the Bloom Boutique 12×12 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Phrases & Frames + Bloom Boutique DSP, card front

The card base is Hydrangea Hue with a layer of Bloom Boutique 12×12 DSP just slightly smaller than the card front. The double layer is Peaceful Pine 4 x 3 with another pattern of the Bloom Boutique DSP 3 7/8 x 2 7/8. I wrapped a Peaceful Pine 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around and secured in back, then took another length to tie a half bow. I secured this under the knot with a glue dot then affixed the panel to the card front with dimensionals. The sentiment ovals are die cuts using the Phrases & Frames Dies – so delicate & sweet. The sentiment is from the coordinating stamp set in Hydrangea Hue ink. The larger oval is affixed with liquid adhesive and the smaller one is on dimensionals. Final touch – those wonderful 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies – in Hydrangea Hue.

Stampin' Up! Phrases & Frames + Bloom Boutique, inside card

For the inside… another stunning die cut using the Phrases & Frames Dies – the largest one. I adhered a panel of Basic White behind it 4 3/4 x 3 3/8. This sentiment is also from the coordinating stamp set – in Hydrangea Hue ink.

Stampin' Up! Phrases & Frames card & envelope

For the envelope… a piece of the Bloom Boutique 12 x 12 DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. And another sentiment from the Phrases & Frames stamp set stamped in Hydrangea Hue ink. This card will be sent today… to a dear friend who lost her hubby.

Today is the next to last day before the end of June and the possibility of the monthly tutorial with a $50 or above order. See below for a way to order from me.

Stampin’ Up! Scenic Coast for a Fun Fold

Posted on by
4

Good morning… I’ve two cards for you today using the Sunset Coast suite of products – and they are another quick & easy fun fold. Pictures of this suite may be found in the May-August 2026 Catalog on pages 26-27.

Stampin' Up! Scenic Coast Suite fun fold

Since both of therse are made the same way, it’s easy to make a few at the same time.The card base is Night of Navy 8 1/2 x 5 12 scored at 1 1/2 & 4 1/4. Burnish these folds as a mountain, valley. In other words, that first score folds back on itself, making the card look like a backwards Z. The Scenic Coast 6×6 SDSP is cut 2 3/4 x 5 1/4, 1 1/8 x 5 1/4 , &non the lighthouse card an additional 2 7/8 x 5 1/4. The Basic White sentiment panels are 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 or 1 7/8 x 5 1/4.

Stampin' Up! Scenic Coast fun fold, from the top

For the die cuts: a 3 1/4″ square will die cut the lighthouse, or the Sailboat or the sun rays. An additional die was used to die cut the outside circle for the lighthouse – a Stitched Shapes Die, the largest.The birds were die cut from a scrap – it’s just one die for all three birds. The netting was cut from a Basic White about 2 1/2 x 2 3/4 and the seashells were die cut from Lemon Lolly and a Blending Brush with Pecan Pie ink to give them some dimension. The Sailboats were stamped in Melon Mambo and the waters in Balmy Blue. The sequins are the wonderful Sunset Sparkle Sequins that are part of the suite, matching the colors of the Scenic Coast 6×6 SDSP.

Stampin’ Up! Moonlit Flora + Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder

Posted on by
4

Good Saturday! I’m sharing a pretty card using the Moonlit Flora 12 x 12 DSP as the background and the Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder as thew focal point. It’s a wuick card to put together and this layout is one that can be used with just about any designer series paper.

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora DSP + Fern & Flora EF card front

The card base is Old Olive with a layer of the Moonlit Flora covering the entire front. I embossed a Basic White panel using the Fern & Flora 3D ef, then used various shades of green and Blending Brushes to add color to it: Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive. I then cut the panels: 1 3/4 x 1 1/2; 1 3/4 x 2 1/2; 1 x 2 1/2 & 1 x 1 1/2. These were adhered to a Mossy Meadow panel3 x 4 1/4 then a Granny Apple Green 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. This was added to the front with dimensionals. For the sentiment, I stamped the banner border in Secret Sea then the sentiment in Old Olive – both from the Fern & Flora stamp set. I die cut the banner using the Fern & Flora Dies. This was added, also with dimensionals then the super fun Dreamy Flowers for embellishment – Berry Burst in color.

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora DSP inside card

For the inside… simple Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4 with a strip of the Moonlit Flora DSP at the bottom.

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora DSP + Fern & Flora EF card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Moonlit Flora DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit & a beautiful stamped fern on the front: Fern & Flora stamp set + Granny Apple Green ink. Someone is going to love receiving this card!

Stampin’ Up! Quick Fun Fold w/ Bloom Boutique DSP

Posted on by
3

Oh I love this fun fold – it’s so easy & just pops with elegance or fun, depending on the Designer Series Paper used. As in the heading, I’ve used the soft colors of the Bloom Boutique DSP from the March ONLNE EXCLUSIVES. The paper is all in the new 2026-2028 In Colors and I primarily focused on Hydrangea Hue. I also used one pattern in the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP.

Stampin' Up! Quick Fun Fold w/ Bloom Boutique, card front

I began with Thick Basic White 11 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1 3/4, 5 1/2, and 9 3/4. Burnish these mountain(it folds back), valley, valley(this one folds over). Layer for front: 3 5/8 x 5 3/8; layer for the fold back panel 1 5/8 x 5 3/8 & layer for the fold over panel: 1 1/8 x 5 3/8 (I used Hydrangea Hue in each case). DSP pieces are coordinating but all different: 3 1/2 x 5 14, 1 1/2 x 5 14, & 1 x 5 1/4. Attach to the card base. Now cut for the inside of the card… 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 & 1 x 5 1/4; the sentiment panel has a layer 3 7/8 x 5 1/4 + Basic White 3 3/4 x 5 1/8 or cut with the 2nd largest Perennial Postage Dies. Stamp the Basic White with a sentiment – I used Forever Florals stamp set (also a March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) & Hydrangea Hue ink + WOW! Metallic embossing powder in gold (heat set of course)

Stampin' Up! Quick Fun Fold w/ Bloom Boutique, inside card

Now let’s decorate the front. Sometimes, this quick fun fold card uses a belly band, this one uses a ribbon instead – 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon in Hydrangea Hue, about 21″ worth. It’s attached to the front fold-over panel with Stampin’ Seal and under the sentiment banner. Sentiment banner: using the largest of the banner dies in the Forever Floral Dies, cut from Hydrangea Hue. Using the rectangular banner die from Forever Florals Dies, cut from Basic White & stamp the sentiment from the Forever Florals stamp set in Hydrangea Hue ink. Stamp a couple of small leaves from this same stamp set in Hydrangea Hue, stamp the veins in VersaMark ink and sprinkle with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set. Die cut with the appropriate leaf die in Forever Florals Dies. Add the Basic White sentiment banner to the blue banner with dimensionals. Position the die cut leaves & adhere. Now stamp three flowers in Hydrangea Hue ink on a Basic White scrap & die cut. Add these with dimensionals to the leaves. Add the banner with liquid glue over the ribbon on the fold over panel. Tie the ribbon in a bow & done! Stunningly beautiful, easy on the eyes. With these particular colors and this DSP, this could not only be a thinking of you kind of card, but also a sympathy card.

Stampin' Up! Quick Fun Fold card & envelope, Bloom Boutique DSP

Envelope… more of the Bloom Boutique DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, another leaf stamp in the Forever Florals stamp set stamped in Hydrangea Hue, then the veins stamped in VersaMark ink, sprinkled with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set. YES! This card is ready to send!!!

Stampin’ Up! Waterside Retreat DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Welcome to Thursday and this fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! You’ll see some creative stuff today I’m sure. We have a color challenge and it’s perfect for the Waterside Retreat DSP – all the colors in the challenge are used 😀.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Color Challenge

The cards front image was cut out directly from the patterned paper and added to a background of Pecan Pie. Another pattern in the Waterside Retreat DSP was added to the Pool Party card base., then the picture image pieces were attached with dimensionals. I cut out a single oar from another piece of the Waterside Retreat & attached it with liquid glue and a small dimensional on the oar ends. I added the Loose Anchor Trinket with glue dots after adding a length of Linen Thread & tying it in a knot – all with glue dots. Then I cut three lengths of of card stock 1/2 x 2 1/4 (Basic White, Pool Party & Pecan Pie), created pointy ends layered then together with dabs of glue then slipped them under one end of the trinket attaching with a dab of glue. Oh – and the sentiment… from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set stamped in Pecan Pie ink.

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat DSP Masculine card

This is just a perfect masculine card for many occasions… could be birthday, retirement, promotion – just lots of opportunities. There are so many parts of this card that I like: the added trinket, the three (3) banners, the oar, the SCENE! It’s peaceful, calm, nothing demanding about it. It ‘rests’ easily. This DSP – Waterside Retreat – is just so special – it can be masculine or it could be feminine. While I called this a masculine card in a ‘tag’, it doesn’t have to be. This could be anyone who appreciates fishing, being on the water for any reason, relaxing, watching birds & the life of a place like this – a camp maybe..

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat inside card

For the inside … a Basic White panel attached to Pecan Pie and added to the inside of the card base. Then a life vest fussy cut with paper snips added with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat DSP card & envelope

The envelope … more of the Waterside Retreat DSP on the flap trimmed to fit. For the front seagulls were stamped in stamped off once Gray Granite ink.
