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

Welcome to another Thursday… and the amazing Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge for this hop.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 8/24
Stampin' Up! Color Challenge 8/24
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.

Stampin' Up! Split M fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP 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! 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)

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

The theme for today’s hop is “Fall Frenzy” and I had such fun creating these cute treat bags. The hop is Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew
Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle w/ Treat Bags.1
Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves bundle w/ Treat Bags.2
Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle w/ Treat Bags.3

The background for the fall tags are the wonderful 2023-2025 In Color Treat Bags.

The tag bases are Copper Clay for 2 and Wild Wheat for one (2 1/2 x 4 1/2). I marked the center & punched the ribbon opening with the Very Best Trio Punch, then used that same punch to trim the top corners. Setting that aside, I worked on the rest of cutting & punching and using the sponge dauber :O). Using the smallest of the Radiating Stitched Dies and Crumb Cake, I cut three pieces. I used a sponge dauber & Cajun Craze ink to color the edges to give each a more rustic look. I cut pieces of Them Bones DSP (from the soon to be released – Sep 6 – Mini 2023 Sep-Dec Catalog), just a bit larger that the Crumb Cake piece. I adhered these two together then to another piece, again slightly larger in Wild Wheat. I guess there is one of these I did the other way around! I added these to the tag base with dimensionals. I then stamped these gorgeous leaves from the Autumn Leaves stamp set, inking them with a sponge dauber in Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat & Lemon Lime Twist inks. They were stamped on a Basic White scrap. Then veins were stamped with Wild Wheat ink. then die cut with the appropriate die from Autumn Leaves Dies. From Pumpkin Pie card stock I punched three ovals for each tag using the Double Oval Punch. I sponged the edges of each of these ovals in Copper Clay then adhered them together to create a pumpkin. The center oval is on dimensionals :O) The leaves were attached to the tag with liquid glue, and the pumkins added next. I tied a double loop bow using Linen Thread and attached it with liquid glue. The ribbons used are: Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat and that was tied with Lemon Lime Twist from the Ribbon Combo Pack. I adhered them to the bag with Stampin’ Seal. The bag top is simply folded over.

Now, be sure to visit the others on the hop today for they will have some fun ‘fall frenzy’ designs to share. Click on the links or click on a name.

Stampin’ Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning. Is it HOT where you are? It is HOT here… and the humidity makes it difficult to breathe. Ugh… Having said all that, this is a sunshiny kind of card. It’s just fresh looking and clean. And pretty much monochromatic. Did this tease you a bit? Hope so!

Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold

I began by cutting a length of card stock 4 x 10 and scoring it at 2 1/2 at each end. With the card stock still folded, with the largest die in the Countryside Dies, die cut this piece. The die will hang over a bit on each folded end – this is good! This actually creates the fun fold :O). With the next to largest die, die cut another Basic White piece and emboss it with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. There IS a CENTER point to the embossing folder, a main flower. Use that to center the panel you are embossing.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms fun fold.2

Attach this embossed piece to the left front fold of the fun fold panel. I chose to decorate this embossed piece just a bit. I had in my stash, a flower already created. It was made with dies from the Paper Florist Dies, Basic White and Crushed Curry card stock. Is this a sweet flower or what! I then added these small Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels, four on each side, on a bump of the embossing. And the front was done.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Dies Fun Fold.2

For the inside… with Wild Wheat card stock, I used the 2nd largest die from Countryside Dies to cut a panel and centered it on the inside of the fun fold. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White panel and die cut this with the third largest die from Countryside Corners Dies. Another flower was on my desk created using the Paper Florist Dies and I attached it to the card. It used Basic White and Crushed Curry card stock.

I felt this card needed a back as it was only about 3 1/2 x 5 and might get lost in the envelope. I added a piece of the Fresh as a Daisy DSP to a Wild Wheat piece (both 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and centering the fun fold, added it to the new card base. YAY!

Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold.3

For the envelope, I added more of the same Fresh as a Daisy DSP, then stamped the sentiment in Wild Wheat ink. This card can now be used as a thank you, a special occasion, a thinking of you, just about any reason :O)

Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour + Delightfully Eclectic Fun Fold

We have a challenge of a ‘fun fold’ for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group today. I’ve combined Delightfully Eclectic DSP and the Color & Contour bundle for my card.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew 
Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Fun Fold

This fun fold uses a 5 1/2 x 12 piece of Designer Series Paper. Here I’m using Delightfully Eclectic. It’s scored @ 1 3/4, 4 3/4, & 7 3/4 and folded accordian style or valley, mountain, valley. Here’s the finished card, open.

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Fun Fold inside

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, cut 3 from Bubble Bath card stock cut 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. Begin by adhering to the back panel first, centering the die cut. Fold DSP at 2nd score line and attach 2nd Bubble Bath die cut so that it is even with the die cut on the bottom panel. Remember, the adhesive will not cover the entire die cut as there is some ‘overhang’. See photo.

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour fun fold

Close entirely and attach the front Scalloped Contour die cut. I do this by turning the die to the wrong side and add adhesive to back side as per this photo. That way I do not put adhesive where it is not needed!

Stampin' Up! Scalloped Contour Dies.3
Stampin' Up! Color & Contour fun fold closed

Cut 3 panels of Basic White card stock and decorate as desired. For the front panel I used a Color & Contour sentiment and stamped it in Memento ink. I then used the blotchy dot stamp and Bubble Bath ink to stamp over the sentiment. I attached this to the front Scalloped Contour die then added a flower already put together from the Paper Florist Dies (cut from Fresh Freesia and Basic White) and added it as you see it. As a final touch to the front, I added three Tinsel Gems in Berry Burst. For the second section of this fun fold, I stamped the flower in Memento ink from Color & Contour stamp set, then colored it with the additional stamps provided: Fresh Freesia for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves. I then stamped the sentiment on this panel in Memento ink. For the last panel I stamped the sentiment from Color & Contour stamp set in Memento ink, then the splotchy dots in Bubble Bath and added the panel. Once everything was together, I attached a panel of Old Olive card stock ( 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) to the very back to add strength and stability to the card. All done!

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Fun Fold.4

The envelope got more of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the flap, & trimmed to fit. For the front I stamped the leaves in Old Olive, the bud in Memento, then filled the bud with Bubble Bath – all from the Color & Contour stamp set. This is such a sweet, delicate card. I absolutely love it. I hope you do as well.

Now it’s time to continue the hop. Do that by clicking on one of the “previous’ or ‘next’ or a name to continue.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

My June Paper Pumpkin (Welcome Inn) arrived earlier this week and I knew I wanted to use parts of it for this hop/ challenge. The colors of Night of Navy and Calypso Coral are such a wonderful combination. I added a background piece from the Subtles 6×6 in Calypso Coral.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog hop
Stampin' Up! Blog hop challenge
Stampin' Up! Jun PP Alternative

As you can see, I turned the image sideways (again) to create my own version :O). The card base is from the June Paper Pumpkin kit – Night of Navy. The next layer is my addition – Subtles 6×6 in Calypso Coral (3 1/2 x 5). The floral Pattern is from the Paper Pumpkin kit as well and was added with dimensionals. The floral DSP is Countryside Inn, which this particular kit coordinates. and is 2 1/4 x 2 3/8 and adhered directly – except for the right side, which has dimensionals under it. The banner also comes from the klit and was added with dimensionals as well. The Night of Navy embellishments also come from the kit. Great alternative project, right?!

Stampin' Up! June PP Alternative, inside

For the inside, a Calypso Coral panel 4 18 x 5 38 was adhered to the base, then the Basic White panel was stamped: Night of Navy for the vase; Old Olive for the stems and Calypso Coral for the flowers – and yes… these were in the June PP kit!

Stampin' Up! June PP Alternative w/ envelope

The envelope is from the June PP kit and I chose to cover the flap with more of the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Calypso Coral & trimmed it to fit. Hope you likie!

Stampin’ Up! Masterfully Made Masculine Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to the happy Inkin’ Thursday blog hop! We have a sketch challenge today for our hop & I’m again using some new products I haven’t used yet :O) – Nested Essential Dies for one.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday hop, sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop group
Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made Masculine card front

As you can see I turned the sketch sideways and changed the center shape, but it works. The Nested Shapes Dies was used to die cut the center image from Masterfully Made DSP. That was my starting point and I built the card around that. Crushed Curry is a match to the yellow and I splattered it lightly with the Light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. I ran a strip of Basic White through one of my new favorite embossing folders called Exposed Brick 3D EF.. I adhered this directly to the Crushed Curry card base. I added the Nested Shapes die cut with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Cheerful Daisies stamp set, stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut with the shape you see from the Nested Shapes Dies. It was added to the card with a dimensional at the flat end and a dab of glue at the pointy end. The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems 4 pack in Berry Burst, the largest color in the center die cut.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made Masculine card inside

For the inside… I added the sentiment (completing the thought from the card front) three times in Memento ink on a Basic White panel. (Remember, it comes from Cheerful Daisies stamp set.) At the bottom, I added a strip of the leftover Masterfully Made DSP. This panel was added to the inside of the card and done, done.

I call this a masculine card, but it wouldn’t have to be. Remember, this is one of the Designer Series Papers on sale for 15% off. Continue reading below for more info about that!

Stampin’ Up! Delightfully Eclectic & Circle Sayings for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’ve a cheerful card for you today using the sketch challenge.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge
Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic w/ Circle Sayings

You can see I took some liberties with the sketch by first turning it sideways :O) and the center panel is off-set. I think it still works. Here’s what I did… I die cut the Delightfully Eclectic DSP (stripe) on with the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies and layered it on a piece of Misty Moonlight, just slightly larger. Both of these were added to the Thick Basic White card base. I took another piece of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP (the small floral print) and die cut it with a smaller die of the Deckled Rectangles Dies and adhered it to Misty Moonlight panel just a bit larger. I put dimensionals on these and attached them to the card front. I stamped this fun image from Circle Sayings stamp set in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: both Light & Dark Daffodil Delight for the sun and a mix of Pool Party and Light Balmy Blue for the ocean waves. I die cut this with the one of the circles from Stylish Shapes Dies. Before adding it to the card front, I cut a length of the Textured Ribbon in wild Wheat, folded it over and attached it with a couple of glue dots. The fun sun image was then added over this with dimensionals. The part that is off the smaller rectangle has two dimensionals together to make it even. The final touch was three In Color Dots in Wild Wheat.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic and Circle Sayings, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment from Circle Sayings stamp set in Misty moonlight ink, then added a strip of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the bottom. Notice it also has a Deckled Rectangle edge at the bottom of it :O). It was a scrap from die cutting the larger rectangle. This was added to a panel of Misty Moonlight, also die cut with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, then onto the inside of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic and Circle Saying card & envelope

For the envelope, more of this same stripe from Delightfully Eclectic DSP added to the flap. Notice it too has a deckled edge to it :O) On the front, another sentiment from Circle Sayings stamp set stamped in Misty Moonlight. This card is going to a dear friend who fell recently and is struggling with pain. She is an amazing organist and individual and I wanted to send something light-hearted and cheerful to lighten her spirits.

I do hope you will take the time to make the rounds of the blog hop of this fun group. I’m always amazed at the variety and talent shared. You may click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name to visit a particular blog.

This card uses the Inked Botanicals DSP, the Inked & tiled stamp set AND the Timeless Arrangements Dies. I’ve mixed some colors together that I would not normally do – – and like it.

I pulled out this fun pattern of DSP from the Inked Botanicals, then started die cutting images using the Timeless Arrangements Dies in Lost Lagoon (love this new color!) Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and I pulled in a bit of Basic White as well. I stamped the sentiment from Inked & Tiled in Lost Lagoon on a Very Vanilla scrap and die cut it with the Timeless Arrangements Dies. I adhered the layers of springs and sprays together with liquid glue, attached the sentiment as well then set about doing the rest. The DSP is cut 3 x 4, the Crushed Curry at 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 and added those two together with liquid glue. I put dimensional on the back of those two pieces and adhered them to the Lost Lagoon card base. The sentiment and sprays were added with dimensionals along the bottom of the sentiment and a bit of liquid glue for the upper section.

Stampin' Up! Inked Botanicals w/ Inked & Tiled stamp set

For the inside, I used a Very Vanilla panel 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped it with Crushed Curry ink and one of the flowers from Inked & Tiled stamp set, adhered it into the card and voila – card is complete.

For the envelope, more of the Inked Botanicals for the flap and the same flower for the envelope front, just this time in Crushed Curry & Calypso Coral inks. Such a fun, lively card. – and my daughter is going to love it. It goes out today!!!
