Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of Magical Meadow for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome, welcome! We have a sketch challenge today and I’m excited to share new products from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog :O)

Stampin' Up! Blog hop Sketch Challenge 8/31
Stampin' Up! Happyn Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 8/31
Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow bundle

Winter Meadow 12 x 12 DSP is the focus of this card front. Isn’t this paper just gorgeous? It’s soft colors and stunning nature designs just take my breath away. The sketch challenge could have been used with any of the papers from this pack. I used Bordered Ribbon in Lost Lagoon as a nice contrast between the two papers. I adhered the Winter Meadow Designer Series Papers to a Misty Moonlight panel, wrapped the ribbon around the seamline securing it in back with Stampin’ Seal. I put dimensionals on these and attached them to a Misty Moonlight card base. The sentiment is from the Magical Meadow stamp set and is stamped on a Basic White piece in Misty Moonlight ink. It was die cut with a rounded corner die from the Nested Essentials Dies in the Annual Catalog. The sentiment banner was added to the card front with dimensionals. Three Faceted Gems from the Trio Pack were added – in Lost Lagoon, one of the colors in the nature scene.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadows, inside card

For the inside of the card, I stamped images that resmble the card front – from the Magical Meadows stamp set. The ink colors were Misty Moonlight, stamped off once, then a second time for the second image; Garden Green ink & Shaded Spruce ink, also second generation. These were stamped mon a Basic White panel then it was adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow bundlecard & envelope

For the envelope I did the same stamping on the flapas the inside of the card, allowing it to overhang the envelope front. In the lower left corner I used this fabulous snowflake die from Magical Meadows Dies to create interest. I slipped a thin paper in the envelope before running it through the die cutting machine in hopes it would not go through to the back of the envelope. It did anyway, but it worked and looks fine. LOVE this bundle… the coordinating Winter Meadows Designer Series papers are stunning. I cannot wait ton play more with this suite of products.

Now… it’s time to see what the rest of the ‘krew’ have prepared for the hop challenge today. Click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name. Enjoy!

Stampin’ Up! Book Fold with Countryside Inn 12 x 12 DSP

Good Wednesday morning! I’ve been a bit ‘stuck’ working with many new products from the 2023 Sep-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live September 6, and today I wanted to share a card using the Countryside Inn 12 x 12 Designer Series Papers.

Stampin' Up! Book fold w/ Countryside Inn DSP

What’s great about this fold is it can be used with a variety of Designer Series Papers, making it as masculine or feminine as your heart desires. And it’s super easy to do as well

  • Begin with a card base 4n 1/4 x 11 and score at 4 1/2 & 5 1/2 along the long side. Burnish well, then add adhesive between the two score lines, close the card, then open.
Stampin' Up! Book fold top view

The book fold look like the photo above when viewed from the top.

Now the fun part is determining the Designer Series Papers to use. And, as you see, I have two layers on my card, which you would not necessarily need to do. For this paper I felt the contrasting Basic White really set off the Countryside Inn DSP. (Dimensions will be included at the bottom of this post.)

For this particular cart, I wanted ton keep the decoration fairly simple – and chose to use the Countryside Corners Dies and the new Autumn Leaves stamp set for the appropriate sentiments. From Basic White, I used the smallest of the rectangular dies to die cut the Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment on a Boho Blue strip and stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink, then die cut it with this super tiny banner die that fit the sentiment perfectly – yes, from the Countryside Corners Dies. This Boho Blue strip was added to the Basic White die cut with dimensionals. These were added to the card front with liquid glue. As a final touch, I added three Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Boho Blue.

Stampin' Up! Book fold card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the two sentiments from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy ink on the Basic White panel then adhered it in place.

Stampin' Up! Book fold with Countryside Inn DSP, card & envelope

For the envelope I added another panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the flap and a narrow strip at the bottom front of the envelope. Done, done.

I look forward to seeing what you do when creating this book fold card – so please share.

Card cuts:

  • Night of Navy card base 4 14 x 11` scored on long side at 4 1/2 & 5 1/2
  • Basic White layer: 7/8 x 4 1/8; 4 3/8 x 4 1/8 (2); 1 1/4 x 3 (banner)
  • Countryside Inn 12 x 12 DSP: 3/4 x 4; 4 1/4 x 4; 2 1/4 x 6 (flap), 3/16 x 6 (envelope front strip)
  • Boho Blue: 5/8 x 3 (banner strip)

One of the reasons I became a SU! demonstrator is because of the coordination of their products. When I go into one of the local craft stores, nothing coordinates – in other words, reds vary in intensity, blues are not the same navy, and the same holds true for all the other colors. So if I find a Designer Series Paper that I want to coordinate matching card stock, it doesn’t happen in the local craft store. But in Stampin’ Up!, not only do the Designer Series Papers coordinate, but so do the ribbons and embellishments. If you would like the opportunity to do what I do, join my team – get an automatic 20% off every order, enjoy the Stampin’ Up! creativity experience with other dedicated crafters and get more for your buck.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Birthday

Stampin’ Up! has some really beautiful papers – and sometimes I get working with a certain Designer Series Paper and just can quit. That’s the way it is with the Masterfully Made DSP – so another card it is…

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made birthday

Look at these beautiful colors. Here’s what I did….

  • Pretty Peacock is the card base and after trimming it to size I stamped the front with the word stamp from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink.
  • I layered one of the Masterfully Made DSP to a Bubble Bath panel, adhering them together and adding them with dimensionals to the card base.
  • I pulled out two papers: Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lime Twist and using the Gorgeously Made Dies, die cut these two leaves. They were added to the card from with various dot of liquid glue.
  • I pulled out this fun ‘notebook edge’ die from the Gorgeously Made Dies and die cut a scrap of the Masterfully Made DSP. This was to be my background for the sentiment.
  • The sentiment is from the Hey Chuck stamp set and is stamped on Basic White in bubble Bath ink.. It was die cut with Gorgeously Made Dies then added to the ‘notebook edge’ die cut piece, dimensionals on back and added to the card front.
  • I added several Blooming Pearls in Pretty Peacock to the sentiment.
  • I tied a bow with lengths of White twine from the Basic Twine pack, and adhered it in place with a glue dot.
Stampin' Up! August Paper Pumpkin stamp

For the inside of the card, I stamped this fun image using an August Paper Pumpkin stamp and Memento ink. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends to coordinate with the Masterfully Made DSP: Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly. I added strips of the Masterfully Made DSP then stamped the sentiment – again using Bubble Bath ink and an August Paper pumpkin sentiment. And the card was complete!

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made birthday card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Masterfully Made DSP for the envelope flap and a strip for the envelope front to bring it all together. This is a fun, happy, encouraging card and I can’t wait to send it to a favorite person :O)

Stampin’ Up! Forever Forest and Christmas Tidings EF

Oh, more new products to share today: Forever Forest Dies, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder and Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets :O)

Stampin' Up! Forever Forest Dies & Christmas Tidings EF

I began by running a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel through the Christmas Tidings EF and layered it on a Pecan Pie card piece just slightly larger. I wrapped a red ribbon around it from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (annual catalog), securing it in back with Stampin’ Seal. These were added to a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.) I punched the bear from A Walk in the Forest DSP using the Beary Cute Punch. And yes, this punch also coordinates with the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP – YAY! The trees were die cut using the Forever Forest Dies from Shimmer Paper. There are several tree sizes in this set of dies, so it’s a matter of deciding which ones to use. I adhered the smaller tree so the base sat inside the ribbon, the larger tree is on dimensionals and overlaps the ribbon. I adhered the bear with dimensionals as well – as though it is ‘walking to the forest’. The final touch was this stunning Adhesive-Backed Star Trinket at the top of the taller tree. All these new items will be available in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog come September 6!

Stampin' Up! Tiny Christmas Tree Dies

For the inside… I used another new product… the Tiny Christmas Tree Dies to die cut the border of the Basic White inside panel. Are those tiny trees too cute or what?! And I saved the die cut trees to use later :O) This die can be used as a card front as well – look for that in the near future! The sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink using another new stamp set, Magical Meadow. This Basic White panel was adhered to a Pecan Pie piece and attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Forever Forest Dies & Christmas Tidings EF card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of Basic White was run through the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder, attached to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. I used three of the die cut trees from the Tiny Christmas Trees Die to adhere to the envelope front – and they are perfect there!

What fun to use all these new products to share with you today. If you do not have a demonstrator and would like a catalog, please let me know.

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of Festive and Fun

Welcome to Friday! I have a very fun card for you today and a sneaky peek of another stamp set in the new Mini September -December 2023 catalog. and simple as ever. I enjoy coloring and my Stampin’ Blends came in very handy for that :O)

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun simple card

This card also introduces some of the sort of ‘funky’ Designer Series Paper called Merry & Bright (available September 6 as part of the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 catalog).

For Stampin’ Blends, I used Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Dark Poppy Parade, Lemon Lime Twist, Dark Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake, the Color Lifter, and Wink of Stella to the star. I stamped the image from Festive & Fun stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Basic White panel 2 1/2 x 4 5/16. Once I finished coloring, I adhered it to a Shaded Spruce 2 9/16 x 4 1/2, then mounted it with dimensionals to another Basic White panel wrapped in Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party. The card base is also Shaded Spruce card stock 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2, layered with Granny Apple Green card stock 4 x 5 1/4 and the awesome panel of Merry Bold & Bright DSP 3 3/4 x 5.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Simple card, inside

Look at this adorable beast at the bottom of the inside – also from the Festive & Fun stamp set, stamped in Pebbled Path and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade and Wink of Stella was added to the candy cane. The sentiment comes from – yep, you guessed it – Festive and Fun stamp set and is stamped in Poppy Parade ink.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun card & envelope

For the envelope, I stamped another adorable image from the Festive & Fun stamp set: stamped in Pebbled Path ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Dark Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight. The envelope flap was covered in the same Merry Bold & Bright DSP trimmed to fit. So, so cute! These would make wonderful gift tags as well! Another day… :O)

Stampin’ Up! Split M Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Split M-Fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP

I found the directions for this card and it seemed a clever way of making the card more flexible – and just had to give it a try. Susan Campfield was the demonstrator and had another name for it. Here’s what it looks like open.

Stampin' Up! Split m fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP

Notice how there is a gap between the front of the card and the back of the card – that’s the split. And here’s how the card looks from the top.

Directions to make this card are not all that complicated – and all the colors for the color challenge are in the DSP :O) I used Blueberry Bushel for the card base, Pretty Peacock for stamping one of the sentiments and Bubble Bath and Lemon Lime Twist are in the DSP – so we’re good.

  • Cut the card base back from Blueberry Bushel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
  • Cut the card front in two parts: Blueberry Bushel 1 3/4 x 5 12 & Masterfully Made DSP 3 x 5 1/2
    • Adhere the two front panels together so they measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
  • Cut the ‘M’ section from Blueberry Bushel 11 x 4 3/4 and score on the long side @ 2 3/4, 5 1/2, 8 1/4. Burnish as valley, mountain, valley as shown above.
    • Decorate panels as desired: Basic White layers are 2 1/2 x 4 1/2
    • Panel 1 is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink using the Charming stamp set; Radiating Stitches Dies was used to die cut the heart from Masterfully Made DSP
    • Panel 2 is a layer of Masterfully Made DSP 2 14 x 4 1/4 on the Basic White panel
    • Panel 3 is the same Masterfully Made DSP pattern as the heart, cut 1 x 4 1/4 adhered to the Basic White panel. Here I will write my message.
    • Panel 4 is this pretty stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set, stamped with Pretty Peacock ink, stamped off once. Over that is another sentiment, this time from So Sincere stamp set (available Sep.6 in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog) in full strength Blueberry Bushel ink on the Basic White panel.
  • On the inside of the back of the card, I used the Gorgeously Made stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp these pretty images
  • Adhere the now decorated ‘M’ fold to the inside of the card front, keeping bottom edges even with card front; secure to back in same fashion.
  • Decorate the card front:
    • The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink to a Basic White scrap using the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set, then die cut with the coordinating Wonderful Thoughts Dies. This was adhered to the card front with dimensionals cut in half. Three Berry Burst embellishments were added from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

I used another pattern of the Masterfully Made DSP to adhere to the envelope, trimmed to fit – 2 1/4 x 6.

Stampin' Up! M-fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP card & envelope

Fun card to make! I hope you give it a try and share your photos with me.

Now, on with the hop! See what creative folks we have on our team. you won’t want to miss a single one!

Stampin’ Up! August Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Good Wednesday – mid-week, what’s up!? I played today with making a couple of PP alternatives. There was one extra Lotus Blossom on a lily pad left over fvrom the August PP kit, so I used it to make another card, similar to the cards in the August PP kit.

Stampin' Up! August PP Alternative 1

I used my Blending Brush and Misty Moonlight ink to create a pale sky on a Basic White panel, then added more ink to create the water below. Once darker, I added a bit of Orchid Oasis ink in the same manner. I then stamped lily pads in Pretty Peacock ink using the appropriate stamp from the August PP kit. I then added the cutout from the kit on dimensionals I added three of the ‘watger-like’ embellishments from the kit. This was added to a slightly larger Misty Moonlight card stock. These two were added to the Basic White Notecard with dimensionals – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! August PP Alternative 1.inside

On another same size Basic White panel, I stamped a Lotus flower in Berry Burst ink, stamping off once first. And yes, thsi stamp is from the August PP kit!. I added this to a Misty Moonlight piece then adhered them both to the inside of the card. DONE!

Alternative Card 2:

Stampin' Up! August PP Alternative 2

Using the Forget-Me-Not stamp from the August PP kit, I stamped in memento ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blends: Tahitian Tide, Shaded Spruce and Lemon Lolly. I put this panel in my scoring tool and scored around each side: 5/8″ & 1/2″ from the back side. This allowed the ‘bump’ to show from the front :O). I added adouble Linen Thread bow with a glue dot, attached tghe panel to a slightly larger Tahitian Tide panel and added them to the front of a Basic White note card with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! August PP Alternative 2, inside

With the same size Basic White Panel and Tahitian Tide ink, I stamped the sentiment using a stamp from the August PP kit.. This piece was added to a slightly larger Tahitian Tide, then attached to the inside of the Basic White Note Card with liquid glue.

I love how these turned out and thought of making several more of this second card by varying the blues used for coloring and a layer. That didn’t happen today! Note cards standard size are 3 1/2 x 5, so the layers were Basic White 3 x 4 1/2 and the colored layer was 3 1/8 x 5 3/8. They are perfect for a short note or for a gift! I don’t use these nearly enough, but really like the size. Stampin’ Up! offers them in Very Vanilla as well. :O)

Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin Show Off

Good morning! My August Paper Pumpkin arrived the other day and I sat right down to play. There are eight cards in the Paper Pumpkin and very feminine and sweet. The back of the cards share comments about the particular flowers on the card: forget-me-nots and the lotus flower. And I love the 3D look and cut-outs!

Stampin' Up!August Paper Pumpkin
Stampin' Up! August Paper Pumpkin card 1, inside

This is the For-Me-Not card… notice the delicate cutout for the front and the flowers on dimensionals on the inside. This was not the only option for a sentiment on the provided banner, but it is what I chose. Even the Linen Thread is provided!

Stampin' Up! August Paper Pumpkin, card 2
Stampin' Up! August Paper Pumpkin Card 2 alone

This shows the beautiful Lotus Flower and lily pads. Hopefully you can see the ‘water droplet’ embellishments provided in the kit. They are clear, so difficult to see – but there are at least five on each of the Lotus cards.

A Paper Pumpkin subscription is a fun way to be creative each month, with sometimes tags, boxes, or cards. Each month is unique for the season. And there is the opportunity to say, ‘not this month’ if the timing isn’t right or the kit is not something you want to do. In your very first subscription, an acrylic block is provided. In all subscriptions there is an ink spot, stamps, and appropriate supplies – along with picture directions. Here is what is in the September kit and information about it.

Stampin' Up! September Paper Pumpkin

Express your love and gratitude in elegant style with the September Paper Pumpkin Kit inspired by Shelli! This kit includes eight treat packages (you can also use for small gifts) and eight miniature note cards with matching envelopes and specialty gold foil embellishments. Whether you’re needing a hostess gift, a sweet surprise for dinner guests, or have another reason to give love and thanks, this kit has you covered.

Plus, don’t miss the Thoughts of Thanks Journal! It matches both the design and intent of the kit, giving you an even more personal way to document and express your gratitude. It’s available as an add-on, but only while supplies last!

Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Dutch Door Christmas

It’s Sunday and a glorious 60 degrees! But what that also says to me is summer is coming to an end… and I’m sad about that. Don’t get me wrong, fall is gorgeous, but there is something about the long days of summer that I really like; dawn at 5 AM and sun going down about 9:30 PM. This card is another sneaky peek at the Beary Cute stamp set and coordinating DSP. I love these bears, their faces mostly, whimsical.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute Dutch Door

The bear was fussy cut from the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP. I put dimensionals on him & set this aside. The next was die cutting this gorgeous die from Holographic Trio DSP using the Christmas Classics Dies. As you can see, the die has lots of detail. I did peel one of the layers off the back to make the paper a bit thinner; then sprayed it lightly on the back with water to soften it. Then I ran it through the Cut & Emboss machine. :O) I next die cut the layer on which the bear is attached – a die from the Christmas Classics Dies and from Earthen Textures DSP. I put dimensionals on this and attached it to the larger die cut, then added the bear. I cut a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 and ran it through the NEW Snowflake Sky 3D embossing Folder. This will be available to customer Sep 6 in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog. If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up catalog yet, please connect with me & I’ll get it in the mail ASAP!

Next I created the Dutch Door card base: Very Vanilla card stock cut 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. On the short side, cut at 2 1/8 to the score line. Remove paper, rotate and cut along score line to the 2 1/8 cut, removing the top front half of the card base. (Save this for the inside of the card.) And that’s your dutch door! I ran that bottom ‘door’ through the same Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder to create more texture for the card. I added the square decorated panel with the bear, adhering it just to the ‘door’ of the card front, centering it. I added three Festive Pearls in silver.

Stampin' Up! Bear Cute  Dutch Door inside

I cut a length of the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP 2 x 5 3/8 and adhered it to the top half of the inside card base. The removed Very Vanilla panel to make the dutch door, was cut down to 2 x 5 3/8. I stamped this cute bear in Misty Moonlight ink using the Beary Cute stamp set. I adhered this to the inside of the card and worked on the sentiment. On a scrap of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink using Beary Cute stamp set. I angled the ends, added dimensionals and attached it in the center of the card. I added three Festive Pearls in silver.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute envelope back flap
Stampin' Up! Beary Cute envelope front

For the envelope: more of the same pattern from Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP for the flap trimmed to fit; and this adorable bear stamped across the envelope front in Misty Moonlight ink using the Beary Cute stamp set.

OK, I mentioned these stamps and dies will be available Sep 6 via the Mini 2023 Sep-Dec catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics for the Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning! How’s your week going? Mine is good, lots going on, but that’s OK. Working with others is medicine for my soul :O) We have a sketch challenge for our hop today and I’m excited to share a new product from the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog – or maybe a few new products. :O)

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog hop Sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Christmas Classics.1

Let me just say, I am LOVING this bundle! This comes in a suite of products called Joy Of Christmas and includes two stamp sets with dies, stunningly glorious DSP (2 packs), ribbon and gems & sequins. They may be found on pages 28-31 in the Min Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog. If you don’t have a catalog, reach out to me… I can ‘fix’ that!

This is a slimline card… card base is Shaded Spruce card stock with a layer of some of this gorgeous Joy of Christmas 12 x 12 DSP then a layer of Vellum adhered to that and a smaller piece of another panel of the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. Then… I took out this glorious die for the background banner. It includes these off-shoots of leaves and holly, etc. I decided to die cut from yet another panel of the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. I pulled out the Joy of Noel Dies to die cut holly (from Garden Green card stock) and pine sprigs (from Shaded Spruce card stock.) These were added to the back of the banner die cut from DSP with Stampin’ Seal then added to the card front with dimensionals. I pulled out a Basic White scrap and stamped this fun mixed font message which is from Christmas Classics stamp set and stamped it in Shaded Spruce ink. I die cut that with a die from the Christmas Classics Dies and added it to the larger banner with dimensionals. I added the Real Red gems from the Loose Holly and Gems & Sequins Pack.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Classics card inside

For the inside of the card… a piece of Real Red card stock with a layer of Basic White. Before adhering the Basic White panel I stamped it with the holly in Shaded Spruce ink, then the sentiment in Real Red ink. Both come from Christmas Classics stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! does not have envelopes that fit this size card, but I happened to have one in red :O). I stamped the cute holly stamp in Shaded Spruce ink on the front and on the envelope flap – and then didn’t take a picture of it. Ugh!

Card cuts for this card:

Shaded Spruce (card base): 7 x 8 1/2 scored @ 3 1/2 on the short side

Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP: 2 5/8 x 8 1/2; 1 3/4 x 5 (plaid strip); 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 (banner die cut)

Vellum : 2 5/8 x 5 12

Real Red: 3 x 8 (inside)

Basic White: 2 1/2 x 7 1/2 (inside); 1 x 3 3/4 (front sentiment banner)
