We had quite an unexpected storm Tuesday night – lots of lightening way too close & thunder of course. I love the roll of thunder, but did I mention the lightening was close?! Today is Thursday – Welcome to our hop! We have a color challenge today & I chose to work with the luscious Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP. It’s garden fresh 😀
The Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP is so wonderful, it deserves to be center stage. I backed it with a panel of Peaceful Pine then added those with dimensionals to the Berry Burst card base. I made a few die cuts for flowers (Basic White, & Berry Burst) then a stem from Peaceful Pine (it’s hard to see!), then stamped flower centers in Daffodil delight & die cut those. Once the centers were on the flowers I used the White Gel Pen to add some dots for texture emphasis. Flowers were added with dimensionals. I tied a double loop bow from Linen thread & added it to the back of the stamped sentiment punched with the triple punch (ink is Berry Burst & from the Flowering Meadow stamp set). The sentiment was also added with dimensionals. Final touch… Charming Shimmer Faceted Gems – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.
For the inside… the sentiment is again from Flowering Meadow stamp set, stamped in Peaceful Pine on a Basic White panel. The flowers are stamped-off once Berry Burst, flower centers Daffodil Delight – and again using the White Gel Pen to add highlights. The panel was added to Peaceful Pine then attached to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… more of the Velvet Meadow SDSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, a leaf image stamped three times without re-inking.
Welcome to our hop! It’s Thursday & we have a sketch challenge this week. I’m using a ‘new to me’ stamp bundle called Festive Cheer. I’m loving all the images & dies in the set :O)
My card begins with a Cherry Cobbler card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Two layers were added: Peaceful Pine & 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery 12×12. I set these aside to do stamping & die cuts using the Festive Cheer bundle from the July ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. Yes, I have begun that Christmas card plunge! Die cuts were made using the Festive Cheer Dies and Velveteen Assortment 12×12 Specialty Paper for two pine fronds; Cherry Cobbler card stock with a backing of Adhesive Sheet for the NOEL; Gold foil for the berries. I stamped the ornament in VersaMark, sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic gold embossing powder & heat set then die cut once cooled. I also die cut from gold foil, the hanger and the ornament top.
The letters NOEL were attached to a Basic White strip that had Peaceful Pine behind it for definition. These we4re added with dimensionals. The pine frond was added with a dimensional at the left end and liquid glue on the stem end. The berries were added with dots of liquid glue. The ornament was added with liquid glue and a mini dimensional at the top.
For the inside I stamped the sentiment from Festive Cheer in Peaceful {ine ink, then the ornamets in Cherry Cobbler ink and the ornament top in Pecan Pie ink. This Basic White panel was added to a Peaceful Pine then to the inside of the card. Voila! Ready to send, but of course it is only July!!! In the stack it goes. 😀
For the envelope, more of the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery attached with Stampin’ Seal to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front the sentiment was stamped three times in Peaceful Pine ink. Interestingly I only used the Festive Cheer bundle for this card – no additional sentiments from another set. So, love that!

Hello & happy Tuesday! Welcome to our hop… the theme is a fun fold card so you’ll see lots of creativity today. If this little snail doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will! It’s just plain c-u-t-e! So this is really a Bookmark Side Panel Card. And that bookmark is on the right with the 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon in Hydrangea Hue. It slips in & out of that small embossed ‘sleeve’ (this was as scrap I had from …..) The card base is Hydrangea Hue & the DSP is Painted Patterns 2026-2028 In Color, Hydrangea Hue.
How to make this card…
card base is 8 1/4 x 5 1/2
with short side at the top at the 1″ mark on the right side of the paper trimmer, cut from 1 to 5 1/4″; repeat on opposite side
with long side at top, score in between the cut lines 1, 2, & 5 1/4. Burnish score lines
with same long side at top, score @ 4 1/4 on the outside edges of the cut lines.
with same long side at top, score @ 6 1/4 the full 5 1/2″ (the bookmark will fit between 6 1/4 & 8 1/4 area)
cut & scored, it will look as in the top/down photo below
To decorate with DSP:
cut DSP 4 x 5 1/4 & 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 – trim these leaving 3/4″ in shape of squared C – (with short side @ top & line up @ 3/4″ on right side of trimmer, cut from 3/4 to 4 1/2; repeat for the other two sides
cut 2 – 3 x 3 1/4 for panel insert on front & back of card
cut 1 1/2 x 5 for bookmark
3/4 x 1 3/4 ‘sleeve’ for bookmark (mine is an embossed strip)
2 1/4 x I 6 for envelope flap
Basic White panels:
cut 2 – 2 3/4 x 3 for stamping (front) or for your own words (back)
1 1/2 x 5 for bookmark
The above photo is the back of this card.
To decorate the small Basic White panels: stamp the snail in Memento black ink and color with Stampin’ Blends with Crumb Cake. The sentiment is stamped in Hydrangea Hue and comes from the same stamp set as the snail – Wild Bunch – a SU! June POTM (Product of the month). The checkered portion is also in Crumb Cake ink and from the Wild Bunch stamp set. The front of the envelope is stamped the same way, all across the bottom. This is just so friendly and could be masaculine or feminine – and could be for a child also!

All first-time demonstrators (beginning July 1, 2026) will receive a surprise Welcome Box—a gesture of appreciation and a warm welcome into the global Stampin’ Up! creative community.
Welcome welcome. Oh it is so energizing to try new products and new fun folds, etc. etc. I think we have a treat for you today.
Let’s look more closely at this card with some other photos.
What’s neat about this fun fold is the way it opens and flips or flaps one way or the other while the center remains intact. It’s hard to describe, but it can close either way & it fits in a standard A2 envelope.
How to make this card… and it might help to do a template first! This is called a flip-flap card.
Card base is 6 3/4 x 5 1/2. Mark all four sides lightly with a pencil at the 1 1/4″ mark.
With the long side at top, score at 2 3/4 & 4″ both above & below the 1 1/4″ mark
With the long side at top and the right edge at the 1 1/4 mark on the right side of the paper trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 4 1/4″ (or the pencil mark). Follow this with long side at top for the opposite side.
With short side at top & the right edge of paper at the 1 14″ mark on the right side of the trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 2 3/4″. Flip paper over & with short side at top, do same on opposite end.
You have now connected the cuts, leaving the center held at top & bottom between the scored areas of 2 3/4″ & 4″ 😀
Burnish the scores as mountain & valley.
Now you may decorate! Be sure to erase your pencil lines prior to adding your DSP pieces 😁 Long panels on both right & left are 1 1/8 x 5 3/8 (cut 2 for front & 2 for back. Add these with adhesive of choice. Short sections at top & bottom are the same dimensions: 1 3/8 x 1 1/8, 1 1/8 x orate.1 1/8 & 1 3/8 x 1 1/8. Cut 4 of each for both front & back. Adhere appropriately. The center section is 4 1/8 x 2 7/8 (cut 2 – one for front & one for back). Adhere & decorate.
You can see I used the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP & the Lily of the Valley stamp set for the one sentiment (to one of the nicest people I know) stamped in Garden Green ink. The colored butterflies were done using the Hot Foil machine on Willow White paper then colored after the foil process with Stamp[in’ Blends: Blackberry Bliss & Pool Party. The small foil dies were die cut from Gold Foil using the Butterfly Flight Dies. The happy birthday sentiment was made with the hot foil system using White Will & of course the gold foil for the system & heated then die cut – Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies. All butterflies were added with dimensionals.
For the envelope…only the flap was decorated – using a pattern from the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP.
The Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil System will be available for customer purchase on 7/10/2026 and you may order it from me (of course!). See my information below the list of names to learn how to do that!

Welcome to Thursday and this fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! You’ll see some creative stuff today I’m sure. We have a color challenge and it’s perfect for the Waterside Retreat DSP – all the colors in the challenge are used 😀.
The cards front image was cut out directly from the patterned paper and added to a background of Pecan Pie. Another pattern in the Waterside Retreat DSP was added to the Pool Party card base., then the picture image pieces were attached with dimensionals. I cut out a single oar from another piece of the Waterside Retreat & attached it with liquid glue and a small dimensional on the oar ends. I added the Loose Anchor Trinket with glue dots after adding a length of Linen Thread & tying it in a knot – all with glue dots. Then I cut three lengths of of card stock 1/2 x 2 1/4 (Basic White, Pool Party & Pecan Pie), created pointy ends layered then together with dabs of glue then slipped them under one end of the trinket attaching with a dab of glue. Oh – and the sentiment… from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set stamped in Pecan Pie ink.
This is just a perfect masculine card for many occasions… could be birthday, retirement, promotion – just lots of opportunities. There are so many parts of this card that I like: the added trinket, the three (3) banners, the oar, the SCENE! It’s peaceful, calm, nothing demanding about it. It ‘rests’ easily. This DSP – Waterside Retreat – is just so special – it can be masculine or it could be feminine. While I called this a masculine card in a ‘tag’, it doesn’t have to be. This could be anyone who appreciates fishing, being on the water for any reason, relaxing, watching birds & the life of a place like this – a camp maybe..
For the inside … a Basic White panel attached to Pecan Pie and added to the inside of the card base. Then a life vest fussy cut with paper snips added with liquid glue.
The envelope … more of the Waterside Retreat DSP on the flap trimmed to fit. For the front seagulls were stamped in stamped off once Gray Granite ink.

Welcome to Thursday & our fabulous hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I played with the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP to create this beautiful card – that & the Shimmer Brushes to color the flowers.
And here’s my card. I took a piece of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP – it’s an all black & white images pack that I love!- and cut it to 4 1/4 x 4 1/2. Then I set about coloring it with the Shimmer Brushes… Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow and finally Hydrangea Hue. I added this to a Crisp cantaloupe card base 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2. I took the backside of this same paper and cut two strips 1/4″ wide and added these top & bottom. I stamped thre sentiment using the Words & Wishes stamp set in Memento ink on a Basic White strip, added a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe to the bottom, and angled the one end, attached dimensionals to the back & set it aside to make a double bow from Black Baker’s Twine (it comes in a pack of 5 different colors). This was attached to the back of the sentiment panel with a glue dot, then the strip was added to the card front. Final touch – three 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Crisp Cantaloupe.
For the inside of the card I stamped another sentiment from Words & Wishes stamp set in Memento ink on the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel, then added another strip of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP. To finish this off, I cut out a vase from another one of the papers in this fabulous pack & colored it: Cloud Cover for the water and Shimmer Brush in Crisp Cantaloupe for the flowers – then attached as though the polka dot strip were a table.
For the envelope – same coloring on the same pattern of flowers from the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. And another sentiment from the same Words & Wishes stamp set was stamped in the lower left front of the envelope. Done & ready to send to someone fabulous!

Welcome, welcome. We have a wonderful floral challenge for us today & I’ve chosen a new, soon to be released July ONLINE Exclusive to use in this shutter card. The Framed Violets bundle is part of the Violet Dreams Suite of products: Adhesive-Backed Blooms, 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Fresh Freesia, Violet Dreams 12×12 DSP & the Framed Violets bundle already mentioned.
When looking at this card, notice the stamped sentiment on Basic White, then notice below the stamped sentiment on Hydrangea Hue – that’s all part of the slider mechanism. It is so cool in person!
And here’s a top/ down view…
How to make this card… notice there are two colors used on this card, a light color (Hydrangea Hue) & a Basic White and there are two panels of the Hydrangea Hue.
Front Panel: Color 1 – 4 14 x 8 1/4 scored at 5 1/2. The smaller section is what creates the shuttle or ‘slider’ of the card. Cover the larger section with DSP cut 4 x 5 1/4. Use a 2″ hole punch to create the opening on the front side. Center Panel: this is Secret Sea – 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Add a 4 x 4 DSP to each side. With the fold to the left, place so this panel is flush with the right edge of the card front; hold in place, trace the 2″ circle, then punch the 2″ circle where marked. Close this Secret Sea piece & trace the circle to the right side of the Secret Sea (see the floral pattern in the open card), punch the 2″ circle again using the tracing to line up.. There should now be three circles: front and both sides of the Secret Sea inside panel. Adhere the backside of the left section of this folded panel to the inside of the front panel, matching edges so they are even. DO NOT TRY TO LINE UP WITH THE FOLD! Back Panel: The color of this panel should match that of the card front. In my case – Hydrangea Hue: 4 1/4 x 5 3/4 score at 5 1/2. Cut a Basic White piece about 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 and adhere close to the score line and that becomes the stamped sentiment we see with the card closed. Do not adhere just yet :O) First, burnish the score line well, fold it inwards and add adhesive along the 1/4″ fold. With the folded edge in, add to the center panel even with the right edge of that panel. It will look like the photo at left, below. Now add the Basic White piece so it fits behind the opening and can be stamped. (yes, mine is a circle cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies). Now add adhesive along that score line as shown in photo at right and close card. This keeps the card from being floppy.
Now you may do your stamping sentiments. With the card closed, stamp on the Basic White panel – that’s what shows when the card is closed. For my car rd I stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and used the sentiment from the Framed Violets stamp set. Open the card and stamp on the ‘slider’ portion. Again, Gorgeous Grape ink and the sentiment is from Framed Violets stamp set.
Now it’s time to decorate the various layers: To create the ‘frame’ around the circle I used a 2 3/8 circle punch and a 2″ circle punch and adhered it to the front & one on the right inside circle as well. card front: I used the Framed Violets Dies to die cut the violets from Basic White then colored the violets using Stampin’ Blends in Highland Heather. I used the tiniest of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels for the flower centers. The leaves arew die cut using the Framed Violets Dies and Peaceful Pine. I added the flowers & leaves with dabs of glue then added the bow with a glue dot: 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Fresh Freesia (part of the suite). The additional gems are Adhesive-Backed Blooms that add that final touch of sparkle. Love these!
And below is the card & envelope – this sweet, sweet violet from the Framed Violets stamp set stamped in Memento ink then colored with Highland Heather & Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends. The same pattern of DSP from Violet Dreams 12×12 was added to flap & trimmed to fit. This becomes such a beautiful gift to a birthday gal – all by itself. Love!!

Welcome to Thursday and this fun hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I chose to work a brand new July ONLINE EXCLUSIVE bundle. It’s called Summer Happiness. 😀
I began by stamping these fun summer images and using a different ink for each one: Timid Tiger, Daffodil Delight and Strawberry Slush. They are so absolutely typical summer! Then I took the Perennial Postage Dies to die cut the immediate background for each: under the drink is Summer Slush, under the sun is Daffodil Delight, and under the flip flops is Timid Tiger. Using the next larger die in Perennial Postage, I die cut three rectangles from Basic White. I adhered each of these layers together with dimensionals and set them aside to make the background for these cute images. The card base is Thick Basic White (11 x 4 1/4 scored @ 5 1/2) with a layer of Crisp cantaloupe (4 x 5 1/4). I used the largest die in Perennial Postage Dies to die cut the panel from 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP. Each of these layers were added with liquid glue. Before placing my rectangles, I stamped the sentiment in Strawberry Sluch ink on a Basic White piece & adhered a narrow strip of Strawberry Slush to the back. I put dimensionals on the back and centered it on the bottom of the card. I then added the three rectangles, placing the center item first then the other two. These were attached with liquid adhesive. Final touch – a few embellishment in Strawberry Slush.
For the inside… Another panel of Crisp Cantaloupe was added (4 x 5 1/4) then the Basic White panel (3 3/4 x 5). I stamped the sunglasses in Strawberry Slush ink and the card itself was complete!
For the envelope… I added the same Crisp Cantaloupe color of Painted Patterns DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. I then stamped the sentiment on the front from Summer Happiness stamp set in Timid Tiger. Such a fun, light-hearted card!
Below is the bundle used for today’s card. Aren’t these fun images & dies coordinate! I could have done this same challenge using the daisy stamp and three images of that – wouldn’t that be cute!

Welcome! It’s Thursday & time for our Happy Inkin’ hop 😀. There are some talented folks in the group so be sure to check out what they have created. We have a color challenge today & I made two very different cards; both use the Bloom Boutique SDSP & the Scalloped Blooms Bundle.
Below are the two cards I created for this color challenge. I would really like to know if you have a favorite!
For the card on the left I used the Scalloped Blooms Dies to die cut flowers & centers from various papers in the Bloom Boutique Specialized Designer Series Paper (SDSP). I added them to the created card front: Crisp Cantaloupe card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2) with a layer of Basic White (4 1/8 x 5 3/8) & Bloom Boutique SDSP (4 x 5 1/4) that were added to the card base with dimensionals. I die cut leaves from Peaceful Pine & slipped them around the flowers. In the smallest flower I added a single 2026-2028 In Color Dot in Golden Glow. The sentiment is stamped with VersaMark ink & sprinkled with Metallic WOW! embossing powder in Gold & heat set. I then die cut it with a die from Scalloped Blooms Dies. I snipped thin strips from each of the 2036-2028 In Color 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon & slipped them through the hole in the die cut, then tied a Linen Thread Bow to secure them in place. The sentiment was added to the front with dimensionals.
For the card on the right I cut strips from various papers in the Bloom Boutique SDSP: 1 x 4 3/4, 3/4 x 4 3/4 & 1 1/2 x 4 3/4. These were added to a Peaceful Pine laiyer 3 1/2 x 4 7/8. This was added to the Barely Blush card base (8 1/2 x 5 12 scored at 4 1/4). I wrapped a Barely Blush 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around and secured it in back. I took the remaining bits of ribbon from the first card & tied each one in a kinot on the Barely Blush ribbon. I stamped the sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink from Scalloped Blooms satmp set on a Basic White scrap then die cut it with a Scalloped Blooms Die. I added dimensionals to the back & sdecured it in place. Final touch… five 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Peaceful Pine.
For the insides of these two cards… the card on the left has stripes added with the various In Color Shimmer Brushes found on page 77 in the May-August 2026 Catalog. Once these dried I stamped the sentiment from scalloped Blooms in Black ink. The card on the right has a simple 1/2″ x 4 strip of the Bloom Boutique SDSP at the bottom. The sentiment is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink and is from Scalloped Blooms stamp set.
Envelopes… Each envelope has a 2 1/4 x 6 strip of the Bloom Boutique SDSP added to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that’s it! So… what’s your favorite card? I’d love to know!
