Stampin’ Up! Step card w/ Scenic Coast 6 x 6 DSP

Posted on by
1

Scenic Coast DSP is shiny on the lower half of the paper. It has stunning sunset/ sunrise type scenes over water and the colors are muted yet bright. That doesn’t make sense, right – but it’s true.. Let’s take a peek at this pretty card.

Stampin' Up! Step card front w/ Scenic Coast 6x6 DSP

Can you see the steps on the card front? They start narrow at the top & get wider each ‘step’. And using the Scenic Coast 6×6 DSP makes it easy to follow that pattern for the inside of the card. See the photo on the left below for that, then see the photo below on the right with the steps folded back – and the scene continues. You need at least 2 pieces of the DSP to make this work.

The Sunset Coast bundle works so well together with this DSP. I cut the sailboat and the seagulls from a scrap of the DSP with the Sunset Coast Dies, reversing the paper to create the red sailboat on the card front. The sentiment on the front & inside is stamped in Secret Sea ink using the Sunset Coast stamp set. I used Sunset Sparkle Sequins for embellishment. The card base is Balmy Blue 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4.

And here is my template with the proper measurements.

For the envelope, I used a scrap of the Scenic Coast 6×6 that shared similar colors. The small sailboats on the front are stamped in Secret Sea, Crushed Curry & Strawberry Slush – coordinating colors listed on the paper pack, and from the Sunset Coast stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Springy Inside Gatefold with Glow of Harvest DSP & NEW Tile Garden Bundle

Posted on by
2

It’s Friday – where did the week go? It’s been hot & humid in NJ this week, a perfect time to be inside & create 😀. In card class yesterday we made this fun gatefold card that has a ‘springy’ inside. It’s so fun to open! And I used the September Product of the Month – the Glow of Harvest SDSP – it’s sparkly!

Stampin' Up! Springy inside gatefold w/ Glow of Harvest SDSP card front

This is a traditional gatefold card – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 on one end then the other side brought over to meet it. The card base is Early Espresso with a layer of Golden Glow 2 x 5 3/8 on each front panel, then a layer of the Glow of Harvest SDSP 1 7/8 x 5 1/4.

Stampin' Up! Springy inside Gatefold card inside

And here’s the finished inside. The center section is the ‘springy’ part. The inside panels are more of the same pattern of Glow of Harvest SDSP cut 1 7/8 x 5 1/4.

Stampin' Up! mechanism for 'springy' inside of gatefold

Stampin' Up! 'springy' mechanism attached to inside card

To create the mechanism, cut a strip 8 x 1 1/2 and scored @ 1 ¼, 2, 2 ¾, 5 ¼, 6 & 6 ¾. Burnish all score lines making certain the strip edges are even. After scoring, fold it as shown above in the left photo. Attach this to the inside panel, centering it, and with the ends touching. It should look like the photo on the right.

The center panels are Cajun Craze 3 ¾ x 5 and Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4. Stamp the Basic White panel prior to adhering it. I used Crumb Cake stamped off once for the leaves and Golden Glow stamped off once for the small flowers. These are from the NEW Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog that can be ordered from Sep 1! Don’t have a catalog? Let me know & I can fix that. 😀

The belly band is 1 3/4 x 10 (Early Espresso) and wrapped around the card to the front. Keep it loose enough so it easily slips on & off. Secure the ends of the belly band together while it is around the card – just be careful with the amount of adhesive!

Remove the belly band & create the front decor…I used the NEW Tile Garden Dies to create these two panels – Golden Glow (this is about 2 3/4 square) and Basic White (less than 2 1/4″ square) Stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso using the stamp in the Tile Garden stamp set, then stamp the floral image sort of as a background… again stamping off first each time – Crumb Cake for the leaves and Golden Glow for the flowers. Final touch – Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots also from the new catalog. I used them as centers to the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Springy inside Gatefold w/ Tile Garden & Glow of Harvest SDSP, card & envelope

For the envelope, I used another pattern of the Glow of Harvest SDSP to attach to the flap & trimmed to fit. And on the front this same flower image from the Tile Garden stamp set – Crumb Cake for the leaves and Golden Glow for the flowers, stamped off each time.

The Product of the Month is available for purchase when placing an order of $75 – and it’s only $5! This is stunning pearlized paper & will be available Sep 1 – same day you can order from the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog.

While you wait for the new catalog to go live, today is the last day for Stampin’ Up! Double Rewards with a $25 & up purchase. With the current sale on paper products – 15% off select card stock & DSP + Last Chance Products – it’s easy to find items wanted & needed.

Stampin’ Up! Tile Garden Sneak Peek with Rtisan Sketched Garden for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good morning, good morning! We have a fun sketch challenge today and i’m so glad you have joined us! You may have come from the fabulous Tara or hopped right in nhere. Haowever you arrived, I hope you’ll check out what everyone has created.

Stampin' Up! Blog hop Group
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop sketch challenge

Our challenge today, as you can see is to create using Black & White plus one other color. I chose to work with Crisp Cantaloupe for this card & the wonderful Artisan Sketched Garden DSP from the May-Aug Catalog. The other big item is the NEW Tile Garden bundle from the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog that goes live Sep. 1! The dies in this bundle are all squares and haqve the same pattern as the Spotlight on Nature Dies, which are circles. Very cool!

Stampin' Up! Tile Garden + Artisan Sketched Garden card front

The Artisan Sketched Garden DSP is all black & white – the whole package of papers. And of course it can be used as is – or colored. As you can see, I colored the main front panel using the Crisp Cantaloup Shimmer brush. While the shiny doesn’t show in the photo, it does in real life. 😀 After coloring I added this to a Basic Black 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. To that I added a 3/4 x 4 3/4 polka dot strip to the much more white panel 2 x 4 1/4, & attached those to the card front. Next I die cut the white piece using the NEW Tile Garden Dies & added a Crisp Cantaloupe behind it 2 7/8 x 2 7/8. These were added to the card front with dimensionals. I already had this vase of flowers sitting on my desk that I had fussy cut after coloring with Stampin’ Blends: Crisp Cantaloup. Granny Apple Green & Pool Party. I added this to the front again with dimensionals then three Glossy Garden Dots (also from the new Sep-Dec 2026 catalog.)

Stampin' Up! Tile Garden inside card

For the inside of the card I used the NEW Tile Garden stamp set for the sentiment (stamped in Memento ink) and the floral image (stamped in Granny Apple Green and Crisp Cantaloupe (this one stamped off once) This is such a sweet delicate flower. I’m loving the images in this set.

Stampin' Up! Tile Garden + Artisan Sketched Garden card & envelope

The envelope… more of the Tile Garden stamp set used on the front, stamping the leaves min Granny Apple Green and the flowers in stamped off Crisp Cantaloupe. The flap has yet another panel of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP adhered & trimmed to fit.

I made another card while I was at it – this time making an easel card with Strawberry Slush, the Everyday Arches Dies, Tile Garden stamp set for the sentiment and tiny flowers, more Artisan Sketched Garden DSP (for the black & white plus theme) and a couple of retired products 🥴 The point is, products can coordinate! It’s the Stampin’ Up! way!!!

Stampin’ Up! Show off for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to today’s hop! We have a sketch challenge today and it was really hard for me to decide just what to showcase – so many new products I want to share. I had recently played with this DSP & well, it tugged at me.

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop logo
Stampin' Up! Hop Sketch challenge

This DSP is just so pretty! I love the colors, flowers (sunflowers & more) and checks – so perfectly fall. These are from a suite of products on page ___ in the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog. The other product in the suite that I used are the Radiant Gems (there are 3). The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie on Very Vanilla then fussy cut w/ my paper snips. The backgrounds for all the designer series papers is Cajun Craze and the card base is Pecan Pie. Measurements may be found at the end of this post.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower Fields card front

And here’s the inside… look at that beautiful sunflower – that’s from the coordinating stamp set called Radiant Sunflowers – all from the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog. The stamp set has coordinating dies but I did not use them on this card. The layers are Cajun Craze & Very Vanilla.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower Fields card inside

For the envelope… Here’s that beautiful sunflower again – on the envelope front. I stamped it in Pecan Pie then used the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush on the petals & light Pecan Pie for the center – same as the sunflower on the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower Fields card & envelope

This could so easily be a masculine card even though there are flowers. The colors just fit! It could be sympathy or it could be birthday – just add the appropriate sentiment. 😀

Stampin’ Up! Moonlit Flora for a Book Fold

Posted on by
4

Good morning, good morning. The Moonlit Flora DSP has been super popular & I’m using it today to make a book fold card. That luna moth is in it’s glory & the focal point for this card.

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora DSP in a book fold

Measurements:

  • Card base: Secret Sea 11 x 4 1/4, score @ 5 1/2 & 4 1/2
  • Layer: Peaceful Pine 7/8 x 4 1/8; 4 3/8 x 4 1/8; inside 4 3/8 x 4 1/8
  • DSP: Moonlit Flora 3/4 x 4; 4 1/4 x 4; inside – 4 1/4 x 4 1/8; flap – 2 1/4 x 6
  • Basic White: inside – 4 1/4 x 4

When cutting the DSP, it’s helpful to have the ‘scene’ go all the way across., therefore the initial cut of the DSP should be 5 x 4, then trim left end to 3/4 leaving 4 1/4 for the right side. I added the 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Secret Sea & Gold (available Sep to customers!) for focus and prior to adding the inside layer of DSP. The sentiment is from the Fern & Flora stamp set with the border in Secret Sea & the sentiment in Peaceful Pine. It was die cut with the coordinating Fern & Flora Dies and added with dimensionals. The extra elements are the Adhesive-backed Metallic Gems in gold – and there are five of them.

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora DSP book fold inside

The inside… DSP on the left is from Moonlit Flora & just adds a nice touch to this card. On the right, the Basic White panel is with the fern leaf three times without re-inking – in Peaceful Pine. The butterfly is stamped in Secret Sea. Both are from the Fern & Flora stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… more Moonlit Flora DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit. The stamping on the front is in Peaceful Pine – the same fern stamp as on the inside, but this time re-inked each time before stamping again.

These products are all from the May-Aug 2026 Catalog (except for the ribbon).

Fall is in the air! Well, not really… but we DO have a theme challenge for our blog hop today – ‘fall frenzy’ – so here ya go… WELCOME top our hop! I’ve chosen to work with the Simply Leaves bundle (it includes the leaf punch) and Sunflower Fields 12 x 12 DSP with wonderful fall colors. The bundle is part of the Sep ONLINE EXCLUSIVES & the DSP is in the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop logo
Stampin' Up! Simply Leaves fip fun fold

This fun fold is a flip front type. In other words, the front flips up and the next flap opens to the left. The leaves are stamped using the Simply Leaves stamp set in Old Olive on Very Vanilla, Cajun Craze on Cajun Craze and Golden Glow on Very Vanilla, then punched with the leaf punch that coordinates to make the bundle. These are available in the new Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog. The designer Series Papers used are also from this catalog and are called Sunflower Fields 12×12 DSP. There are some stunning patterns in this package – perfectly fall themed!

Measurements…

  • flap 2 1/2 x 6 1/4 scored at 5 1/2 (Cajun Craze)
    • add the flap to the back right section of the card base practically centering. The score should be slightly above the cut edge so the flap can fall in place appropriately.
  • Decorate
    • Front flap – DSP 2 3/8 x 5 3/8 – Sunflower Fields DSP; punched leaves as mentioned above, on dimensionals; sentiment on Very Vaniila, stamped in Early Espresso ink 3/4 x 2 1/4 using the Simply Leaves stamp set; attach to Cajun Craze 3/8 x 3 then add dimensionals & attach.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Layout + NEW Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder

Posted on by
2

New week – new item in the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog and a fun layout. The layout uses 1/2″ strips of DSP – I chose the Artisan Sketched Garden 12×12 DSP and backed it with Hydrangea Hue and Basic Black and layered these right to the NEW Softly Woven 3D embossing folder. These are all added to the Basic White Thick card base. Before we go any further, let’s take a peek at the card.

Stampin' Up! Fun layout with Artisan Garden card front

See that wonderful texture in the background? And the sentiment is from the Greeting For All Mix & Match set. I popped in on dimensionals to the Basic White punched sentiment base (Heartfelt Hexagon Punch). Using the same punch I created another in Hydrangea Hue then cut it in half & layered it to the back of the Basic White piece. Behind that is a NEW 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Secret Sea & Gold. Final touch for the front… three 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Hydrangea Hue.

Stampin' Up! Artisan Garden DSP, inside card

For the inside… I colored the image of the vase (from one of the sheets in the Artisan Garden 12×12 DSP) with Shimmer pens: Hydrangea Hue, Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine. After fussy cutting it from the paper, I added dots of liquid glue and attached it to a Basic White panel.

Stampin' Up! Fun layout w/ Artisan Garden, card & envelope

For the envelope… another piece of Artisan Garden 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The simple sentiment is from the Extraordinary Life stamp set. I love the simplicity of this card – and the layout could be used for so many of the Designer Series Papers Stampin’ Up! offers.

Measurements:

  • Card base 11 x 4 1/4 scored @ 5 1/2
  • Embossed layer 4 x 5 1/4
  • layer 4 3/8 x 3 1/8
  • layer 4 1/4 x 3
  • strips – 7, 1/2 x 3 1/2, trim after adding to layer
  • inside – 4 x 5 1/4
  • envelope flap 2 1/4 x 6

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies on Triangle Gatefold Flip-Up Card

Posted on by
2

Happy Friday! Golly the week has gone f-a-s-t… I have a sneaky peek of two new items in the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog: the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies AND the Tile Garden stamp set. Both of these come as separate bundles but this is how I paired them for this card – and it’s a fun fold too!

Stampin' Up! Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies on Triangle Gatefold card front
Stampin' Up! Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies on Triangle Gatefold card, first inside
Stampin' Up! Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies w/ Triangle Gatefold flip-Up card, fullinside
Stampin' Up! Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies w/ Triangle Gatefold Fip-Up Card, flip inside
Stampin' Up! Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies w/ Triangle Gatefold Flip-Up card & envelope

I used an old set of 6×6 papers called Bokeh, but you could use any papers that would compliment the dies and the stamp set – or change the stamp set!

Card cuts & how to:

  • Card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 – I used Berry Burst
  • mat: I used the Bokeh 6×6 DSP ~ 4 x 5 1/4
  • Cut 2 panels of Bokeh 6×6 DSP 3 3/4 x 3 3/4,
    • score on the diagonal, burnish folds and attach to backside of the 4 x 5 14 piece
    • Add to front of card base
  • Add Basic White (2 1/2 x 3 1/2) to back of another piece of Bokeh 6×6 DSP for sturdiness (2 1/2 x 3 1/2) ~ die cut with 2nd smallest die in the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies
    • Cut Basic White (1 1/2 x 2 12) for stamping images from the Tile Garden stamp set ~ stamp leaves in Lost Lagoon and flower in Fresh Freesia. Add to die cut piece. Embellish w/ 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Golden Glow & a double Linen Thread bow; set aside
  • On the inside... cut another piece of Basic White w/ the 2nd largest Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies: stamp the sentiment in Berry Burst ink and the flowers in Fresh Freesia ink from the Tile Garden stamp set; add to inside of gatefold on the large DSP panel
  • Add the set aside front die cut all stamped & ready – to the left side of the DSP triangle gatefold – with dimensionals, centering so it is centered with the inside Basic White scalloped piece
  • Flip the card open to create the final Basic White panel (4 x 5 1/4) … stamp the sentiment in Berry Burst ink, the leaves in Lost Lagoon and the flowers in Fresh Freesia – all using the Tile Garden stamp set. Add Golden Glow accents from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots. Attach to the inside of the card.
  • Envelope…
    • Add the 2 12/4 x 6 strip of Bokeh 6×6 DSP to the flap, trimming to fit
    • Stamp the scallop stamp in Berry Burst ink three times, re-inking each time
    • Stamp the Flowers in Fresh Freesia ink three times, re-inking each time.
    • Both these stamps are from the Tile Garden stamp set

Yay! This card is ready to be sent to my grand niece! It’s such a feminine & lovely card. The stamp bundle and the die bundles are in the Sep-Dec. 2026 Catalog – available Sep 1. If you do not have a demonstrator, I would very much like to send a catalog to you so you can order from me. Please let me know how I can help with that opportunity.

Stampin’ Up! Floating Gatefold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good morning! Today is such a FUN FOLD blog hop 😀, I can’t wait to see what others on the team have created. I have two versions of the floating gatefold and will give you measurements for both. One is made with the Framed Violets bundle and it’s coordinating DSP called Violet Dreams. The other is with a bundle from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE that is older and just too cute.. Cutest Crew – and Beautiful Ordinary Life 12×12 DSP. You can use so many different papers or bundles for this fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew Floating gatefold open
Card 1 – Cutest Crew/ Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP
Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Floating Gatefold open
Card 2 – Framed Violets/ Violet Dreams DSP
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew gatefold w/ belly band
Card 1 – Cutest Crew w/ belly band
Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Floating Gatefold w/ belly band
Card 2 – closed w/ belly band

Notice how very different the fold lines are and the width of the belly band on each card.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew floating gatefold w/ belly band off to side
Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Floating Gatefold w/ belly band off to the side

And here’s a photo taken from the top of this gatefold card. Both cards are the same in a top-down look, so only one photo is shown.

Stampin' Up! Floating Gate Fold from the top

Dimensions for card #1:

  • Card base: 11 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1 1/4 & 3 3/8 from each end
  • Floating element: 8 x 3 scored @ 1, 2 1/2, 5 1/2 & 7
  • belly band: 10 x 3/4
  • DSP:
    • inside center of card base: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
    • inside panels on either side of center piece: (2) 2 x 5 3/8
    • front: (2) 1 1/8 x 5 3/8
    • front outside: (2) 2 x 5 3/8
    • floating elements pieces: (2) 1 3/8 x 2 7/8
  • Basic White:
    • floating section center: 2 7/8 x 2 7/8
    • back: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
  • Additional pieces for belly band decor

Dimensions for card #2:

  • Card base: 10 x 5 1/2 + 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 ~ score larger section @ 2, 4, & 8; score additional section@ 1/2 on long side. Attach this panel to the main section with the score on the inside of the end. This makes your final card base 12 x 5 1/2 with the scores @ 2, 4, 8 & 10
  • Floating element 8 x 3 1/2 ~ score @ 2 1/2, 5 1/2, 7 & 8
  • Belly band pieces as needed
  • DSP:
    • inside center panel of card base: 3 7/8 x 5 3/8
    • panels on either side of card base: (4) 1 7/8 x 5 3/8 (adhere only the 1st panel on either side of the center piece until after the floating panel is attached)
    • floating panel center: 2 3/4 x 3 1/4
    • belly band 10 x 2 1/2
  • Basic white:
    • floating panel center: 2 1/2 x 3
    • back: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8

Directions for putting this gate fold together…

  • Adhere DSP panels to both the card base & the floating section EXCEPT FOR FRONT PANELS (for card 1, that is the yellow strips/ for card 2 that is the very front panels)
  • Do stamping prior to attaching the Basic White pieces ~ for center panels & back (for writing your stuff!)
  • Burnish all score lines: card base ~ mountain, valley, valley, mountain; floating section ~ mountain, valley, valley, mountain.
  • Centering floating piece top to bottom, add to the last fold on right butting fold of floating section against fold of card base.
  • Do the same on the left side, centering top to bottom.
  • Add final piece of DSP over this attached floating element
  • Wrap belly band around closed card and add glue to each end to attach together. DO NOT LET IT STICK TO THE CARD!!! 😀
  • Decorate belly band

We’re making these two cards in card class today ~ both really quite easy & they give a real bang to the receiver. If you make this Floating gatefold – please share a photo with me!
