Stampin’ Up! Noel Tidings for the ZHappy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Thursday & WELCOME to our hop! It’s definitely fall here on the East Coast & here I have a Christmas card – the time moves on rapidly… If you’ve joined me from the fabulous Tara, I’m glad you linked in. If you jumped right in here first, thank you – be sure you see the other wonderful creations for this hop. We have a sketch challenge today and mine is a bit of a stretch, but here ya go..

Stampin' Up! hop sketch challenge

You will notice, this card doesn’t ‘perfectly fit’ the sketch, but I’m claiming it as is! My card base is Crumb Cake with alayer of Peaceful Pine 1/4″ smaller than the A2 card front and Basic. White, embossed with the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder.

Stampin' Up! Noel Tidings card front

I die cut several items from the Noel Tidings Dies: the oval in Basic White, the pine boughs in Peaceful Pine, the acorns stamped in Early Espresso on Pecan Pie and berries in Cherry Cobbler. I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler then cut apart the pine boughs & adhered just portions of them to the edge of the oval. I tied a bow using the Multipack Christmas Baker’s Twine then untwirled the ends to give it more freedom. I then added the berries with dabs of liquid glue and a trimmed black dimensional on the last berry. The pinecones are donesimilarly – 2 adhered with liquid glue and the center on a black dimensional. The oval was added to the card front with dimensionals. All images are from the Noel Tidings bundle.

Stampin' Up! Noel Tidings card inside

For the inside… I stamped the berry stem in Peaceful Pine ink then the berries in Cherry Cobbler on a Basic White 5 14 x 4 panel. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso. Everything comes from the Noel Tidings stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Noel Tidings card & envelope

For the envelope… I recreated the berry stem same as the inside of the card: Peaceful Pine and Cherry Cobbler inks. On the flap is another piece of Basic White run through the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder, attached & trimmed to fit.

I love making cards, especially Christmas Cards. It just makes my heart sing. Maybe it’s the reconnection with folks I haven’t been in contact with for a bit. At any rate – it’s me. If you like what you see, let me know. There’s info below in how to shop with me.

Stampin’ Up! Pop-Out Card in a Card Fun Fold

Posted on by
2

Woopeee – it’s FALL! And you would think I would have a fall card for you today, but I don’t. Instead I have this fun fold that I’m excited to share with you.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Card in a Card front view

I used Tile Garden Dies to create the Basic White square and Elegantly Wrapped bundle for the bow. The sentiment is also from Tile Garden stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Card in a Card first open

I’ve used two different DSP packages : Shimmering Stripes SDSP & All Wrapped Up SDSP for the plaid on the right as well as the die cut leaves, die cut straight from the All wrapped Up Paper. The Real Red background behind those die cut leaves uses a die from Life In Bloom Dies (I cut two and adhered them together then attached them to the card.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Card in a Card second open

And here’s the card fully open, showing off the card in a card 😀 This image is fussy cut from the All Wrapped Up SDSP adhered to a Basic White panel and the sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink from the Tile Garden stamp set. The Real Red card is Real Red 7 1/2 x 5 scored at 3 3/4.

DIRECTIONS & MEASUREMENTS TO MAKE THIS CARD

  • CARD BASE – 11 X 5 1/4 SCORED @ 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4 & 7 (Misty Moonlight)
  • With short side at top, measure 1 1/4 & cut from 1st score to 3rd score. Turn over with short side at top & do the same, measuring 1 1/4 from bottom & cut from 1st score to 3rd score.
  • Cut 3 DSP strips 1 1/2 x 5 (Shimmering Stripes DSDP) Burnish score lines mountain, valley, mountain, valley – EXCEPT the center section – the ‘floating’ section – that score is a mountain
    • 2 of these will be used as full length strips adhering on the 1st & 4th panels
    • Use the last strip to cut into 4 pieces 1 1/2 x 1. Attach these to the areas above the cut areas at the card top & below the cut areas at the bottom
  • Add the Real Red ‘notecard’ with score on the left to the last section of the card. The ‘notecard’ is 7 x 5 scored at 3 3/4
    • Add DSP to the front of the notecard: 3 1/2 x 4 3/4
  • Die cut a square (Basic White in this case) approximately 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 from the Tile Garden Dies. Add a Real Red square behind it, same size & attach to the ‘floating’ panel & 1st section.
    • Stamp the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink (Tile Garden stamp set)
    • Stamp the bow in Misty Moonlight ink & die cut ( Elegantly Wrapped stamp set & dies). Attach with dimensionals.
    • Add Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Sequins to the square
  • For the back side of the ‘floating’ panel, I die cut these elements from the All-Wrapped Up SDSP using coordinating dies from Elegantly Wrapped Dies. I was going to add them directly to this panel but they showed outside the border & I didn’t like that. I needed something long enough & wide enough for a nice background and pulled out the Life In Bloom Dies and cut 2 in Real Red, attaching them back to back then adding them to the card panel & attaching the die cuts with dimensionals. Yes, this does make this card a bit ‘fat’ but I intend to hand deliver this card!
  • For the inside of the notecard, I fussy cut the element from the All Wrapped Up SDSP & attached it with liquid glue to the Basic White panel (3 1/2 x 4 3/4) I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight, attached the panel & the card was complete… I love this!!!
Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Card in a Card & Envelope

For the envelope, I found a different paper – Whispering Woods 12 1/4 x 6 – for the flap and trimmed it to fit. On the front… the sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight using the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Front Flap Dun Fold w/Fun for Fall Bundle

Posted on by
2

Oh this scarecrow is just too cute! And I’ve used it on this front flap fun fold card. We made this card in class on Thursday & the group loved it. My hubby called this a card with a tongue! 😀

Stampin' Up! Fun for Fall Front Flap Fun Fold card front

I’ve used several products to make this card… the Gingham Vellum paper in Golden Glow on the flap (2 3/8 x 5 3/8), the beautiful Sunflower Fields DSP on the card front, inside strip and the envelope, Stitched Circles Dies, Radiant Gems in Secret Sea and all the fun elements in the Fun For Fall bundle, plus Stampin’ Blends to color the circle & the stamped & die cut pieces.

To color the scarecrow: Light Misty Moonlight, Calypso Coral & Golden Glow; the sunflowers are Golden Glow & Pecan Pie center; the crow is light Basic Black & Golden Glow on the beak; and finally the bales of hay are stamped in Pecan Pie ink then colored with Golden Glow & Calypso Coral. The circle die cut was created with a Blending Brush Calypso Coral first then Cajun Craze – the scarecrow is standing out in the field in the hot sun! He looks as though he’s enjoying his job!

Stampin' Up Fun for Fall Front Flap Fun Fold first layer

Here’s the card front with the ‘flap’ up, showing off that beautiful Sunflower Fields DSP. It’s layered on Cajun Craze and the card base is Calypso Coral. The DSP is cut 3 x 5 1/4 with the Cajun Craze 3 1/8 x 5 3/8. The card base is 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 3 1/2. The flap is 2 1/2 x 6 1/4 scored at 5 1/2 and attached to the inside of the card (covered by the sentiment panel (see below)

Stampin' Up! Fun for Fall Front Flap fun fold inside

And here’s the inside of the card with the bail of hay and the sassy crow. The hay bail is stamped in Pecan Pie & colored with Golden Glow & the ‘twine’ is Calypso Coral. The crow is Light Basic Black and Golden Glow on the beak. The DSP on the side is 1 x 5 1/4.

Stampin' Up! Fun for Fall card & envelope

For the envelope… more Sunflower Fields DSP on the flap 2 1/4 x 6 & trimmed to fit. On the front, the same images as on the inside of the card. Such a fun, fun card! This can be masculine or for a woman or for a child… versatility. Say hello, congrats, or feel better soon in whatever you write.

Welcome to our fabulous hop. There is some serious creativity going on so be sure to check out what everyone has done. We have a color challenge today and so perfect for fall. Let’s take a look see…

Stampin' Up! Blog hop challenge
Stampin' Up! Radiant Sunflowers + Sunflower Fields DSP card front

I began by running a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Vary Vanilla through the Sunflower 3D embossing folder. This folder is just stunning and I love using it. I attached that to a Very Vanilla card base. I then cut a panel of Sunflower Fields DSP 4 x 3 wrapped a 3/8″ Golden Glow Bordered ribbon around it and secured it in place on the back with Stampin’ Seal+I then stamped this wonderful image from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set with Memento ink & colored it with various Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party for the background, Calypso Coral, Petal Pink & Light Daffodil Delight for one of the flowers, Golden Glow & Pecan Pie for another flower, Cajun Craze & Golden Glow for another flowerOld Olive & Light Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves. I die cut the image with the coordinating Radiant Sunflowers Dies. I stamped & die cut a couple more small leaves, coloring as mentioned. The large image was added to the card front with dimensionals. The small leaves were adhered, slipping them behind the image. I tied a bow and secured it in place with a glue dot. I then stamped the sentiment on a scrap of Very Vanilla in Golden Glow ink, and added a narrow strip of Cajun Craze behind it. This panel was added to the card front with dimensionals off-center. This I also added with dimensionals. Embellishments – all are from the Radiant Gems – in both Golden Glow around the large image and Secret Sea under the sentiment.

Stampin' Up Radiant Sunflower inside card

For the inside… I stamped this gorgeous sunflower in Memento ink on a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Very Vanilla . It is colored with Stampin’ Blends Golden Glow & Pecan Pie. I then took my Pecan Pie Blends & tapped it against an acrylic block so I could splatter dots over the image. I hope you can see them!! This panel was added to the inside of the card & finis! This could be a Birthday or get well or thinking of you card – very generic without an inside sentiment!

Stampin' Up! Radiant Sunflower & Sunflower Fields DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… I stamped this very cute flower in Memento ink & colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Petal Pink and Light Calypso Coral, Old Olive & Light Lemon Lime Twist. The flap got a piece of the Sunflower Fields DSP that just brings everything together.

Stampin' Up! Winter Dreams SDSP & Festive Cheer card front

Gosh this is gorgeous flocked paper! I love the feel AND the images AND the flocking. My card base is a standard A2 with the fold on the left in Thick Basic White. The various layers of the SDSP are 4 x 5 1/4, 4 x 2 1/2, & 3 x 4. Thin strips of Basic White are behind the 4 x 2 1/2 panel; 3 1/8 x 4 1/8 Basic White is attached to the 3 x 4 and attached with dimensionals. The ornaments are stamped and WOW! Metallic gold heat embossed on Basic White scraps and also attached with dimensionals. The hangars & bows for the ornaments are die cut from Gold Foil and attached with liquid glue. The sentiment is stamped with Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White 2 x 5/8 and attached with dimensionals. The ornaments are also stamped with ink… stamped off Cherry Cobbler and full strength Golden Glow. Everything is from the phenomenal Festive Cheer stamp set and dies.

Stampin' Up! Festive Cheer inside card

For the inside, I started by stamping the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel. I then stamped the ornaments with VersaMark and sprinkled them with Wow! Metallic embossing powder, gold, and heat set. I stamped the ‘strings’ in Shaded Spruce and the bows in Cherry Cobbler.

Stampin' Up! Winter Dreams SDSP & Festive Cheer card & envekope

For the envelope, more of the Winter Dream SDSP on the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I stamped the ornament with VersaMark, sprinkled it with Wow! Metallic embossing powder in gold and heat set. The string & bow are stamped in Shaded Spruce ink. These images are from the Festive Cheer stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Elegant Leaves Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

If you have joined me from the incredible Tara – welcome. If you’re just hopping in – great! Welcome to our fabulous hop! And how about the NEW Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog – pretty cool, right? What’s your favorite – or should I ask your ten (10) favorites? I would love to know. Today’s card shows one of my favorites.. the Elegant Leaves bundle. The delicate dies for the leaves are truly special.

Stampin' Up! Elegant Leaves Po-Up fun fold card front

Where to begin??? I’ll begin with the stamps & dies – then move to the ‘how to’ of this fun fold. The above big leaf – I’m calling it a maple leaf – I inked the solid stamp with Timid Tiger, stamped it off, then added Real Red in various places with a sponge dauber and stamped this on Basic White. I then stamped the detail stamp in Early Espresso. I die cut the detail dies of this leaf from Basic White and attached it in various spots with dabs of liquid glue. I put dimensionals on the back & set it aside. I then proceeded to stamp several of the other leaves “just to have, in case’. They are… Lemon Lolly & Old Olive with the detail stamp being Early Espresso. I die cut each along with the detail die of each leaf – and that from Basic White. I adhered each of the intricate die cuts to the same leaf with liquid glue and set them aside. There is an additional very small detail leaf die on the card front that is nearly impossible to see – cut from Basic White – it’s there.

The sentiment for the front comes from the Elegant Leaves stamp set and is stamped in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White, then added to a Pecan Pie panel just 1/8″ larger I put dimensionals on the back & set it aside as well.

The card front… Pecan Pie 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 with a layer of the Glow of Harvest DSP 4 x 5 1/4 from the August POTM (product of the month). I added the maple leaf & the sentiment with the already attached dimensionals; the smallest leaf die cut is attached with liquid glue. I also added three embellishments of Radiant Gems. I set this aside to prepare the rest of the card & fun fold.

The Pop-Out Fun Fold directions… and then I’ll tell more about the ‘decorative parts’ of the card.

Card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4. For this card – Golden Glow

Inside layer: 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 scored @ 2 1/2 – Golden Glow. Layers for this on the inside… left – Basic White for stamping 2 1/4 x 5; right – DSP 2 1/4 x 5 (I added an additional layer of card stock 2 3/8 x 5 1/8 in Pecan Pie)

Pop-Up mechanism: 2 3/8 x 5 3/8 scored @ 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 3 3/4 & 5 Burnish well mountain, mountain, valley, valley. Make cross score lines creating an ‘x’ between score lines 2 1/2 & 5 & burnish well.

Pop-Out Squares: 2 3/8 x 2 3/8 (2) mine are Golden Glow card stock.

Stampin' Up! mechanism for double pop-up

Attach the left end of the mechanism to the left inside of the card base, close to but not touching the center score, centering it top to bottom. See photo below.

Stampin' Up! stages of mechanism attachment

Fold mechanism flat with small tab facing up. Add glue to tab & close right side of card over this. Rub well to secure.

Attach the two 2 3/8″ squares to the mechanism, these will be the pop-ups. Refer to the mechanism photo for proper glue area.

Stampin' Up! mechanism + pop-ups

See the area in the photo above with the triangle & rectangle? Add adhesive to this and align the INSIDE LAYER – the right back side so the score line is close to the area where the glue is. Close the card, press firmly and allow glue to adhere well. Open & close the card several times to make certain it does so smoothly. Now add glue to the left side of the INSIDE LAYER and close card, rubbing to attach well. Now everything is secure.

Finish the card front by attaching the panels in place.

From the top, the card should look like this… remember, this is a template!

Stampin' Up template for double pop-up - from the top

Below is my finished inside of the card… Glow of Harvest DSP on the squares are 2 1/4 x 2 14. The leaves on the squares (the pop-ups) are stamped in Lemon Lolly & Early Espresso for the top leaf, Old Olive and Early Espresso for the bottom leaf. The die cuts are Basic White – everything on these squares is added with liquid glue. The sentiment panel on the Basic White Inside Layer is Pecan Pie ink. The leaf is stamped off once.

Stampin’ Up! NEW Poetic Petals Reveal

Posted on by
4

Good morning folks – it’s Sunday August 30 – and almost time for the new ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog. There are some very pretty items in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and in this catalog & I’m sharing this new bundle and a Specialty DSP called Radiant Foils.

Stampin' Up! Poetic Petals Slimline card front

Each of the white floral squares on this card is an individual die. The square behind each flower is cut with another die in the Poetic Petals Dies. Gorgeous, right? The papers in the Radiant Foils pack are a Pecan Pie background and on this card each flower uses a different paper in the pack.

The layers on this card are Basic Black 8 1/2 x 7 scored at 3 1/2 to create a slimline card and show off all three floral dies; Pecan Pie 8 3/8 x 3 3/8; White Willow 8 1/8 x 3 1/8; Basic Black 8 x 3. The die cuts were adhered together then added to the card front with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Poetic Petals Slimline card inside

The inside of the card is White Willow (8 x 3) stamped with the Poetic Petals stamp set in Pecan Pie ink. This is layered on Pecan Pie 8 1/8 x 3 1/8.

I didn’t want to use a standard business envelope for this pretty card – so I made my own 😀 See photos below for dimensions & cutting.

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Glow Hot Foil Dies Wedding Card

Posted on by

This ‘in stages’ card has been on my desk for a bit. Funny how that happens… we start one item and get distracted & complete something else. I didn’t need this just yet so that’s probably why I didn’t ‘finish the job’ at the time. That ‘s my justification & I’m sticking to it! 😀 Here’s my card.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Glow Hot Foil Dies

Gosh, I just realized how difficult it is to see the hot foiling! UGH!!! My light was b-a-d. This paper is two-tone Petal Pink that I did the Hot Foiling in silver then I stamped the image from the same Botanical Glow stamp set – in Smoky Slate.. Note the stamp set & the silver from the hot foiling do not match – and that’s the bundle – they are not intended to ‘match’. I cut the panel 5 x 3 3/4 and added it to a Smoky Slate backing 5 1/8 x 3 7/8. I added these to a Thick Basic White card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The sentiment for this card used the Delicate Whispers stamp set and WOW? Metallic Embossing Powder in silver. I heat set the sentiment and attached it to a Smoky Slate backing. Next I made a bow using the Silver & White 1/” Sheer Ribbon and attached it with a glue dot. I added dimensionals to the sentiment strip and placed it over the ribbon. Final step – Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels – three of them. Love this card!!!

Stampin' Up! Botanical Glow wedding card inside

Oh my goodness – this photo is even worse! But let me tell what it is anyway… On the Basic White panel 5 x 3 3/4 I stamped the image from Delicate Whispers stamp set in VersaMark ink then sprinkled it with the same WOW! Metallic Embossing powder in silver & heat set. I attached this to Smoky Slate % 1/8 x 3 7/8 and then added these to the inside of the card. YAY!

Stampin' Up! Botanical Glow Hot Foil Dies & stamp set card & envelope

For the envelope, when I trimmed down the original card stock piece that I had run through the Hot Foil machine, I saved the strip & attached it to the flap & trimmed to fit the area. It doesn’t cover the entire flap, but I like the looks of it. It has the hint of the foiling and maybe that’s enough.

Stampin’ Up! Sunflower EF for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to our hop! We have a sketch challenge today and I decided to work with the amazing Sunflower 3D embossing folder – on the de-bossed side!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D card front

After running the Basic White panel through the Sunflower 3d embossing folder, I used sponge daubers & various inks to add color to the flowers & leaves: Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. I think opened my Early Espresso ink pad and very gently ran it across the entire folder. This added amazing highlights! I cut this down to 3 x 5 1/2 and set it aside.

My card base is Crushed Curry and I added a panel of the same that I ran through a NEW embossing folder available Sep 1 – the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder. This added a wonderful background texture. My additional layer is Cajun Craze2 5/8 x 4 1/4, centered. Then I added the Sunflower embossed & colored strip with dimensionals. Two final things… a sentiment stamped in Early Espresso from the Simply Leaves stamp set – again available Sep 1. I punched the ends using the 3 Banner Punch as the sentiment was too long. This is also on dimensionals & just overlapping the embossed panel. The embellishments are another new item – Glossy Garden Dots available Sep 1. They may be found in the Mosaic Garden Suite of products in the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D card inside

For the inside… another sentiment stamped in Early espresso ink from the Simply Leaves stamp set and a leftover strip of the embossed panel from the front of the card. This is about 5/8 x 5 1/2.

For the envelope… on the front another leftover strip from the embossing on the card front. This strip is about 3/4 x 5 1/2. And there you have it. What a fun technique and so easy.
