Stampin’ Up! Purse Gift Bag with Scalloped Blooms Bundle & Lazy Daisy EF

Posted on by

I’m seeing one of our daughters this weekend & I needed a small gift bag – this design popped up and I loved it: here’s my creation.

Stampin' Up! Purse Gift Bag in Cloud Cover

It begins with card stock 8 x 11; I chose Cloud Cover. Score it with the 8″ up on the paper trimmer @ 2″; turn it a full 180 degrees and do the same again. With the 11″ side at top of paper trimmer, score @ 4 1/2″, rotate 180 degrees & score again at 4 1/2″. With the short side at top again, mark 2″ from the up from the first horizontal score line, then 2″ down from the 2nd horizontal score line. Do this on both sides with short side at top. Burnish all score lines. After burnishing, the folds should look like the photo below.

Stampin' Up! Purse Gift Bag showing scoring & burnishing

Add adhesive to long area with diagonal score & fold in to secure. I should look like the photo below.

Emboss & die cut a piece of Basic White for the flap. I chose the Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder and Scalloped Blooms Dies (2nd from largest). I lightly marked a center line on the die cut & scored 1/4″ on either side of it & burnished with my fingers. I adhered this to the back of the gift bag up to the first score line. Cut a length of ribbon (about 12″) and attach each end between the score lines on the newly created flap. See left photo below. Cover this area with a 3/8″ wide strip 4″ long to secure the ribbons in place. Add a Velcro dot to the flap. See right photo below.

Close purse – not too tightly – to adhere other half of Velcro dot. Decorate as desired.

I used a leftover portion of the embossed Basic White piece used to make the flap to die cut the sentiment banner & attached it directly to the front of the purse. The die was another of the Scalloped Blooms Dies. I stamped the sentiment using the Scalloped Blooms stamp set & Cloud Cover ink on a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut it. I put dimensionals on the back of the fussy cut sentiment & attached it to the embossed banner.

Finishing touches… I took another length of the 3/8″ Faux Ribbon in Cloud Cover and tied a bow & attached it with liquid glue, holding it in place to secure. I then added two 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Golden Glow – one to the banner & one to the center of the flap opening. I will stuff the inside with a bit of shredded paper & add the gift. 🎁 LOVE THIS!

The pink images were my sample pieces… forgive me 😊

I hope you like this little purse gift bag. What’s extra nice is this can be stored flat after making it – no stuffing inside of course! Want to make this cutie? See the items below for product information.

Stampin’ Up! Scenic Coast Suite in a Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on by
11

Oh yes – ’tis almost time for sailing season! For some it’s already here… and I’m all ‘a flutter’ over this new bundle & it’s coordinating Scenic Coast SDSP & the Sunset Sparkle Sequins. ❤️ The theme for this hop is to make something for the ‘men/ boys’ in our lives. This card relates to that as we sold our sailboat last year & it was tough. But we have such fond memories of our sailing days that it’s ok. 👍

On the inside I added the second panel of the Scenic Coast DSP to the inside on the right of the card. Next to it is a Basic White stamped panel 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. The sentiment is from the Sunset Coast stamp set & I used Night of Navy ink.

Final touch on the inside was this fabulous die cut that looks like netting, and I added it with dabs of liquid glue to the left portion of the card. – And done! The card looks like this from the top.

Stampin’ Up! Tri-Fold Shutter Card

Posted on by
2

Hello, hello! Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mothers out there – and if you have cats, dogs, horses, pets of any sort – you’re a mother of those pets! So enjoy your day – maybe even do something special ❤️

My card today is a really fun, fun fold called a tri-fold shutter card, and I’ve used some gorgeous new Valley In Bloom DSP and it’s coordinating bundle Lily of the Valley stamps & dies & adorable 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies. Let’s look.

Stampin' Up! Tri-Fold Shuttle Card front

And here’s how we do this… begin with your card base 10 1/2 x 5 1/2 with score lines at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 7 & 8 3/4. With the short side at top on your paper trimmer & at 1 1/2″ cut from the first score to the last score. Now move the paper to 4″ & cut again for the fist score line to the last. Burnish well valley, mountain, valley, mountain. For the canter area, it will be mountain, valley, mountain, valley… so just the opposite. It will look like the photo below.

Stampin' Up! Tri-fold Shuttle Card, from the top

Now decorate… I used Valley In Bloom DSP… 2 strips 1 1/2 x 5 1/4; 4 strips 1 1/2 x 1 1/4; 2 strips 1 1/4 x 3 1/4; 2 strips 1 1/2 x 2 1/4. The sentiment area is Mossy Meadow 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 & stamped Basic White 3 1/8 x 2 1/8.This was stamped in Gardewn Green ink for the sentiment itself & Mossy Meadow for the lilies. I colored the lily flowers with Light Barely Blush Stampin’ Blends & moved the ink on the leaves with a Blender Pen. I then added the three Butterflies (2026-2028 In Color Butterflies)

On the left front panel I added this die cut lily and leaf. The leaf is die cut from Granny Apple Green card stock. The lilies were die cut from Basic White then I used Mossy Meadow to color the stem and Light Barely Blush to add color to the flowers. These use the Lily of the Valley Dies. The circle is from Stylish shapes stamped with a sentiment from Lily of the Valley stamp set in Garden Geen ink.

The envelope… more Valley in Bloom DSP on the flap and the leaves stamped in Mossy Meadow ink and ‘moved’ using a Blender Pen.

Stampin’ Up! Showing Off Velvet Meadows SDSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I’m showing off a new Specialty Designer Series Paper for it. I’ve created three cards but the first is the first is my favorite. Why is it special – because it has raised areas that feel like velvet!!! Hence the name – Velvet Meadows

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Krew Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! blog hop challenge
Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card front 1

This card began with one of the new IN COLOR card stocks – Peaceful Pine 11 x4 1/4 scored at 5 1/2 (side fold). I used a SDSP layer 4 x 5 1/4 from Velvet Meadows SDSP.. The next layer is another Peaceful Pine with the gorgeous velvet side of the Velvet Meadows SDSP – adhered together & added with dimensionals. I then die cut some of the flowers from the SDSP using the coordinating Flowering Meadows Dies. I fussy cut several leaves: leaves & flowers were added to the card front with dimensionals. Now we have two layers of dimensionals in total. The sentiment is stamped in Berry Burst using the Flowering Meadows stamp set and fussy cut, then added with dimesnionals. Final step – two stunning embellishments: Dreaming Flowers in whiten – yep, from the suite!

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 1 inside
Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 1 & envelope

For the inside… I stamped this floral image from the Flowering Meadows stamp set in Berry Burst on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. This was attached to the inside side of the card.

For the envelope… I stamped this same image in Berry Burst on both the flap & the front of the envelope. This just ties everything together making it look so perfect!

My next card is again a card base of Peaceful Pine5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (top fold). I embossed a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 with the Paradise Garden 3D embossing Folder & attached it to the card front. The next layer is Peaceful Pine with a layer of the Velvet Meadows SDSP & attached with dimensionals. In this suite of products is the Velveteen Assortment Special Paper – this one used is white. I die cut these gorgeous small leaves using the Flowering Meadows Dies. On Basic White I stamped the daisyin Peaceful Pine ink, then die cut the center with the Velveteen Assortment Specialty Paper in White and attached this by adhering the stem with liquid glue & a mini dimensional on the back of the daisy flower.

For the inside, I stamped off the stems & image in Peaceful Pine on the Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 & attached it – no sentiment!

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 3 front
Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 3 inside

For this last card, I used Berry Burst for the card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 – top fold). I layered this with Velvet Meadows SDSP 4 x 5 1/4. The next is Berry Burst & another of the papers in Velvet Meadows SDSP – I LIKE this contrast! I’ve added no sentiment or any kind of embellishment. The SDSP speaks for itself.

For the inside, I stamped the double flower image in Berry Burst ink on the Basic White panel (5 1/4 x 4) & adhered this to the inside of the card. The sentiment is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink using the Flowering Meadows stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 2 & envelope
Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 3 & envelope

Here are the envelopes for the two additional cards: the left stamped with Peaceful Pine ink: full strength then stamped again & once more without re-inking. This was sone on the envelope front & the flap. The envelope on right is stamped off erry Burst ink and the same double flowers image from Flowering Meadows stamp set.

Now… check out what others on the hop are creating. I had extra fun making cards with the same layout but each with different layers/ embellishments or very simple & just paper, Each is so different from the next, which makes it extra fun.

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

Posted on by
5

Welcome to our HOP! We have a color challenge today… I’m using a NEW product available May 5 called the Relaxing Waterside bundle & it’s coordinating Designer Paper called Waterside Retreat. Let’s take a peek…

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

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card front

I used Cloud Cover for my card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) then layered a panel of a new IN Color called Crisp Cantaloupe (4 1/8 x 5 38) then a layer of the Waterside Retreat DSP. I die cut the chair from Wood Textured Specialty Paper & added it with dimensionals. I also stamped grass images in both Pecan Pie & Old Olive onto Basic White scraps & die cut them. They are part of the Relaxing Waterside bundle & just add wonderful dimension to the card. Last thing was to stamp the seagulls in Cloud Cover ink – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card inside

For the inside – on a Basic White piece (4 x 5 1/4) I stamped these sentiments in Cloud Cover ink and attached the panel to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card & envelope

For the envelope… On the backside of this particular sheet is this wonderful stripe pattern – I used that for the flap then stamped more seagulls on the front with Cloud Cover ink. Here on the East coast, seagulls swarm wherever there are people with food. They get quite aggressive in taking food, sometimes right out of one’s hand!!!

Stampin’ Up! Springtime Scenes + for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
3

Welcome, welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday blog hop. We have some fun creations for you to see today – and we have a sketch challenge. I’m giving some love to a bundle I haven’t used called Springtime Scenes – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE from March (which seems like ages ago already!). It has some wonderful images & dies. And I’m using a retiring 6×6 Designer Series Paper called Thoughtful Journey.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Sketch Challenge
Stampin' Up! Springtime Scenes card front

Feel free to use 2 pieces of the DSP in order to capture everything you want in your images. On one layer, die cut the largest circle that has leaves from the Springtime Scenes Dies. Add several layers of card stock behind it to build up layers and adhere them together. Cut the other piece of Thoughtful Journey to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 then position the leaf circle die cut and note where it fits , then cut this second panel so the strip is 1 7/8 x 4 1/8 and the leaf image can fit perfectly in alignment. Now cut two circles using the Stylish Shapes Dies from both the first panel of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and from card stock & layer these together. When I cut these, they butted up against the original die cut. I adhered these to the card. The banner is stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink from a scrap of this same panel of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP then die cut with a banner die from Stylish Shapes Dies. I added it with dimensionals. Final steps: a double Linen Thread bow attached with a glue dot and five 2026-2028 In Color butterflies. I love, love, love these butterflies.

Stampin' Up! Springtime Scenes inside card

For the inside of the card I took this fabulous leaf die from Springtime Scenes Dies and a scrap of this same Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP & die cut the leaves, added liquid glue and attached it to a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel and adhered this to the inside of the card. Done!

Stampin' Up! Springtime Scenes card & envelope

For the envelope – two things… another piece of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP cut 2 14 x 6 & attached to the flap and trimmed to fit. For the front I stamped this gorgeous single leaf in Mossy Meadow & used a Blender Pen to move the ink. 😀 Fun, huh? And this card is ready to send!

Stampin’ Up! Slider Card Fun Fold with Sneak Peek Products

Posted on by
2

Good morning! I’m so excited to share this card with you – it’s a beauty, I used some new products that will be coming out in the May-August 2026 Catalog that you can order on May 5.

Stampin' Up! Slider Card fun fold, card front

The card base is Crisp Cantaloupe. Don’t you just love that name of a color? The layers are Peaceful Pine and various papers from the Bloom Boutique Specialty Paper Pack. The flowers & leaves come from a new bundle – Boutique Blossoms and the scalloped die cuts use the Scalloped Blooms bundle. Before I share all the details about how to make this card, let’s see the inside where the slider is.

Stampin' Up! Slider card fun fold inside

More gorgeous paper shown here from the same Bloom Boutique SDSP. And the slider? That’s the sentiment panel – and it slips inside the panel on the right.

So, directions… I chose to do the inside first so let’s start there.

  • The card base is the standard 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side @ 2 3/4 & 6 3/4. Burnish the score lines as both will fold to the inside.
  • Cut the left DSP panel 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 and adhere
  • Cut the center DSP panel 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 and adhere
  • Fold the last panel inwards with a narrow line of adhesive at just the top & bottom (see photo)
Stampin' Up! Slider card template

Decorate this folded over section with contrasting card stock (Peaceful Pine 1 1/2 x 5 1/4) then an overlay of DSP (1 1/4 x 5)

Creating the Slider for the card:

  • Cut a piece of card stock same color as card base (Crisp Cantaloupe) 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 & score 1/2″ on short side. Burnish & add adhesive to the scored end
  • Add this to the left inside panel even with the DSP & equidistant top to bottom
  • Fold this to the right, add a stamped Basic White piece 3 x 4 to the ‘slider’ front, then slip it into the opening on the right (I stamped the sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink – new In Color! and the flowers in Crisp cantaloupe – also new In Color! The sentiment is from Scalloped Blooms & the flowers are from Boutique Blossoms)

Now let’s decorate the front, which is really only the left panel 😀 Cut a contrasting card stock (Peaceful Pine) 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 and a DSP panel 2 1/4 x 5. Add to card front.

  • Die cut two panels of Scalloped Blooms Dies (Crisp Cantaloupe & Basic White) Stamp the BW piece in Peace Pine ink using a stamp from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set
  • Stamp small flowers in Peaceful Pine ink & the medium flower outline stamp in Crisp Cantaloupe. Stamp the filler stamp for both flowers in Barely Blush ink (another new IN COLOR!) Use the Light Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blend to add color to the leaves of the small flowers. Die cut & set aside.
  • Die cut the small group of leaves (Peaceful Pine)
  • Add each of these die cuts to the die cut scallops and attach to card front.
  • Final touch… add three (3) 2026-2028 In Color Dots

Envelope… Add another piece of the Bloom Boutique SDSP 2 1/4 x 6 to the flap & trim to fit. Stamp the front with flowers from the Bloom Boutique stamp set with Crisp Cantaloupe ink. YAY – this is ready to send to someone special!

To purchase the items shown to make this card look at pages. in the new May-August 2026 catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek ’26-‘ 28 In Color Painted Patterns for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Welcome to Thursday and this fun hop! We have a theme challenger today – Clean & Simple. To me that means no die cutting, no embossing folder. I did some stamping, but not much..Let’s take a look see…,

Stampin' Up! hop. '26-'28 In Colors Clean & Simple card front. Hydrangea Hue

I created five cards using the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns 12×12 DSP: Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Crispy Cantaloupe, Barely Blush, & Hydrangea Hue..Below is a picture of the paper pack.

Stampin' Up! '26-'28 In Color Painted Patterns 12x12
Stampin' Up! Hop card fronts & envelopes - first 3
Stampin' Up! '26-'28 In Color Card Front & Envelopes - 4-5

I began with a Basic White card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2 – for all five cards. I sdet these aside to cretae the layers for each card: a layer of card stock cut 4 x 5 1/4, then a layer of DSP cut 3 3/4 x 5 adhered to it; a layer of Basic White cut 3 x 4 + DSP cut 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 adhered directly to it; add dimensional to the back of the Basic White panel & adhere to larger layers – lower right corner creating 1/4″ edges bottom & right. See photo.Wrap entire front pieces with ribbon coordinating with DSP – tie a knot or bow, depending on your preference. Stamp sentiment with coordinating ink color using the Fabulous Sayings stamp set (January POTM). Since this is a set of cards, I varied the words that I used. This was attached with dimensionals over the ribbon. I then added ’26-’28 In Color Dots that coordinated with the ribbon/ ink.

.

Stampin' Up! '26-'28 In Color Painted Patterns inside cards 4-5

For the inside… each card got a 1/2 x 4″ strip of the ’26-’28 In Color Painted Patterns on the Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. In some cases I stamped a sentiment or images using the coordinating ink color for the particular card & the Framed All Around stamp set. It’s really hard to see the sentiment on the Barely Blush card, but it’s there!

For the envelope… following the theme of Clean & Simple, I added a ’26-’28 In Color Painted Patterns DSP to each flap (2 1/4 x 6) & trimmed it to fit. I added no stamped images to the envelope fronts. And finis… a gift set if you want to give it away – or something to use yourself! YAY! And this shows off all the new In Colors for ’26-’28 as well 😀

Just a quick reminder – today is day 2 of the Stampin’ Up! double rewards, it ends on the 17th, tomorrow,. And.. I have also doubled my Daisy Patch rewards during this time. See my Reward Page for more details…. When you purchase $50 or more product I will sendmy monthly tutorial -YAY!

Stampim’ Up! Sneak Peek Lily of the Valley Fun Fold

Posted on by

WooHoo – it’s Tuesday and Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group! We have a them challenge today – ‘for the girls/ ladies’ and we can interpret that in whatever way. I’m making a card for a special friend who has just had a knee replacement – so something pretty & oooh, ahhh. This fun fold does that – It’s a Pop-out Window card and a Sneak Peek of new stamp set bundle & coordinating DSP. For the cutout, I chose to use Scalloped wishes Dies. These will be available for purchase May 5! Lily of the Valley & it’s suite of products is part of the May-August 2026 Catalog. Scalloped Wishes is an ONLINE Exclusives. You can those near the bottom of my post.

Stampin'Up! Amy's Inkin' Kre Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Lily of the Valley card front

This Designer Series Paper is called Valley in Bloom and this piece is exceptionally pretty, at least I think so. The entire card front is covered in it, adhered to the Granny Apple Green card base. With the DSP adhered to the card front, I I used the largest of the Scalloped Wishes Dies to die cut this scalloped piece. When I removed the die cuts I made certain the DSP was adhered to the background card stock. I set these pieces aside to work on the inside, which is the working mechanism of this fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Lily of the Valley fun fold inside

This is the inside that makes this a pop-out window card. I used Basic White cut 8 x 5 1/4, scored on the long side at 2 1/2, 4 1/2 & 6 1/2. Burnish the score lines as shown above. It’s easiest to stamp & decorate prior to adhering this to the card base. It’s that first section that get’s stamped with a greeting or an image. And the last section that get’s trimmed so it doesn’t cover the opening. And depending on the die used to make that opening will determine the trimming. For this opening it is trimmed to the score line leaving about 3/4″ at the top and about 1″ at the bottom. It’s pretty clear in this image.

Stampin' Up! Lily of the Valley fun fold inside decorated

Here is the decorated inside: I stamped the lily image in Garden Green ink and used a Blender Pen to move the ink on the leaves only. The next panel is cover in Valley in Bloom DSP 1 7/8 x 5 1/4. The next panel has the die cut adhered to it. 😀.

Steps in adhering the inside to the card base:

  • Adhere the largest of the folded panels to the inside of the card, creating equal edges on three sides.
  • The next panel is folded against the adhered piece, leaving the other panels flat.
  • Add adhesive to the small strips and close the front of the card – see photo below
  • With the card front closed, add adhesive to the folded Basic White panel and attach die cut. The card should open & close easily

Now finish decorating the card front. i stamped this sentiment on Basic White using the new Black Hybrid ink pad and a stamp from the Lily of the Valley stamp set. I punched it out using the Triple Banner Punch, adhered it with a dimensional and trimmed the overlapping end. I added a single Shimmering Dot in Coastal Cabana to the sentiment. The butterfly is die cut from a scrap of the Valley in Bloom DSP, then I used a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend to add color. The body is die cut from Basic Black and both were adhered together then attached directly to the card front. I added a single Shimmering Dot to the back, again in Coastal Cabana. I added three more Shimmering Dots to the card front, this time in the green.

Do you remember the adorable stuffed animals of Winnie the Pooh, Eyeore and Piglet? There are others animals produced as well, but I have to say – I loved these animals and the stories that went with them. So when this suite of products became available to demonstrators, I had this suite at the top of my list.

Welcome to the Happy Inkin ‘ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I chose to play with this Silly Old Bear Suite of products available to customers May 5.

Stampin' Up! Hop Sketch Challenge

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card front

I am really appreciating the new IN COLORS! This card base is Hydrangea Hue 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added this awesome picture panel, cut directly from the 12×12 Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper. On the lower part of the card front is this stunning label, die cut from Very Vanilla card stock using the Sweet Words & Labels bundle. The sentiment? from the same stamp set – Sweet Words & Labels – stamped in Crumb Cake ink. The embellishments are Neutral Matte Dots.

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card inside

For the inside of the card I used another sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp aet, stamped in Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla card stock. It was die cut using the Sweet Words & Labels Dies. I adhered it to a the inside of the card after attaching a piece of the Silly Old Bear 12×12 DSP. I then stamped the image of Silly Old Bear & Piglet walking together – using the Sweet Old Friends stamp set. This set also has coordinating dies – and they die cut images straight from the DSP. You are so going to LOVE THIS suite of products. This suite is a May ONLINE EXCLUSIVE and will be available May 5.

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Silly Old Bear DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and for the front, this sweet Pooh Bear & Piglet walking along. I did use Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends to add some shading – and for Piglet a bit of Old Olive for the top he’s wearing. Below is an image of the suite collection – look at those fun dies! Oh my gosh… so much fun! This takes me back to earlier years for sure.
