Stampin’ Up! Love is in the Air for Amy’ Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on January 9, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday! Hope your day/ week is going well. We have a blog hop today as part of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew :O) The theme is LOVE – any way we want to interpret that and I’ve created a ‘missing middle’ card.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine DSP.Missing Middle card

Isn’t this fun? In that open area I’ve stamped my sentiment – it’s where the card front ‘middle’ is missing :O)

This is so incredibly easy to make and the fun part is, the ‘missing middle’ can be larger or smaller, and the connecting section can also be different. I started with a 4 1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White and scored it at 5 1/2. I removed two sections from one end 2 x 4 1/4. Since the theme is LOVE and I really like this plaid paper of the Bee Mine DSP, that became the two focal sections and the bee with the hearts became my center focal point.

Card cuts:

Sweet Sorbet: 1 7/8 x 4 1/8 (cut 2); 1 3/8 x 4 1/8 – add to Thick Basic White sections appropriately
Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP: 1 3/4 x 4 (cut 2- one in plaid, one w/ bee); 1 1/4 x 4 in plaid – adhere to proper sections

Directions:

Fold card panel on score line and line up larger plaid panel even with bottom of card
Put dimensionals on backside of the bee panel, both top & bottom, attach to closed card front approximately 1/2″ from left edge and equidistant top & bottom – & voila! In retrospect, it should probably have been closer to the left edge. I tried to move it over but it was adhered tightly!
With the Bee My Valentine stamp set, stamp the sentiment in Memento ink with the card in the closed position
Add embellishments – here they are the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers in Sweet Sorbet

Stampin' Up! Missing middle card view from inside

Stampin' Up! Middle Missing card sentiment panel

In the far left photo you can see how the top portion of the card looks from the inside. In the right photo is the sentiment panel. I attached another plaid piece of the Bee Mine DSP (5/8 x 4) to a Sweet Sorbet (3/4 x 4 1/8) and then to the inside of the card. This brings the color to the inside of the card and provides a ‘connecting color scheme’ to the card. Fun, fun!

For the envelope, more of the Bee Mine DSP on the flap and a fussy cut bee peeking around the corner adhered to the front. :O) Love, love.

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Part 2 for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on December 12, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday! We have an easy challenge for the hop today… “Celebrate” – and we can interpret that however we like. We have a couple of family birthdays this month so that’s what I’m using. And, while I used this same stamp set Sunday, I’m using a different animal today :O)

Stampin' Up 4 Panel fun fold Fluffiest Friends

Look at that sweet bunny holding a cup cake – is that cute or what?! Using the Fluffiest Friends stamp set, I stamped it in Memento Black ink and colored a bit of the ears, nose and feet pads in Stampin’ Blends Dark Petal Pink. I die cut him with the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Dies. Since I had the dies out, I went ahead and die cut several leaves: in both Granny Apple Green and Parakeet Party. I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut the banner in Basic White. I added a layer of leaves to the banner with liquid glue, then the bunny on dimensionals and a few more leaves on dimensionals. The single heart is from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog.

This is a 4 panel fun fold card and I used Petal Pink card stock for the card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 1 1/4 and 4 1/4. I added panels of DSP: Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP, also from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The pieces are (2) 1 x 5 1/2 and (2) 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. The banner with the bunny was added with Stampin’ Seal to the folded back front panel.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends 4 panel fun fold

For the inside sentiment panel – Basic White piece – 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 – I pulled out another stamp set, Beautiful Balloons from the Annual Catalog. I stamped the Happy Birthday in Sweet Sorbet ink then the rounded sentiment in Petal Pink ink. The flowers at the bottom come from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set and are stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Dark Petal Pink, Light Sweet Sorbet, Light Lemon Lolly and Light Granny Apple Green. On top of a few of the flowers I added a flower from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers. I adhered a few more of the die cut leaves in Granny Apple Green and Parakeet Party, attached the panel to the inside and the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends card & envelope, bunny

For the envelope, I added more of the Sweet Sorbet DSP from Bee Mine 12×12 DSP pack to the flap. I stamped the balloon in Sweet Sorbet ink using the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. I used a Basic Black Marker to add a bow and some squiggly string. I think the person receiving this card is going to love it! It’s feminine, full of color and has a super cute bunny :O)

Stampin’ Up! ‘NEW” Stippled Roses for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 7, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday! And since it’s a Thursday – it means another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop :O) We have a sketch challenge today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop, front

Is this DSP beautiful, or what?! It’s called Softly Stippled DSP and is in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The leaves are all die cut with the Stippled Roses Dies using the Distressed Gold SDSP and they take my breath away – so much detail!. I used these to create the vertical line element of this sketch. The bottom line is made with another of the Softly Stippled DSP cut at 1″ for the width of the background DSP. I folded a length of Burlap Ribbon (from Real Red & Burlap Ribbon combo pack) and attached it in place with several glue dots. It sits behind the sentiment: stamped in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White using a stamp from Stippled Roses stamp set, then die cut with the Perennial Postage Dies, another new item in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. It’s great to be able to mix stamp sets/ dies and DSP papers. This sentiment is added with dimensionals. There are two pieces of Designer Series Papers used on the card front – both from Softly Stippled DSP pack. These two were adhered together & added to the Lost Lagoon card base with dimensionals – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses thank you card, inside

For the inside of the card – simplicity personified. This sweet rose was stamped in Lost Lagoon ink on the Basic white panel. I took a water painter & smoothed the ink on the leaves. The stamp is from Stippled Roses stamp set. Added three Blooming Pearls around the lower leaf.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses thank you card & envelope

I did the same process stamping on the envelope: Lost Lagoon ink and a water painter to smooth the ink on the leaves. The stamp is, of course, from Stippled Roses stamp set. The envelope flap got more of the Softly Stippled DSP.

If you are a customer of mine and have ordered from me in the last 6 months it won’t be long before your catalogs are in the mail.

Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop 11/16

Posted on November 16, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Time for another Inkin’ Hop. The theme challenge this week is a color challenge – imagine that?! Just look at all these wonderful colors.

Notice all those colors for the challenge? They are in the coloring and the Joy of Christmas DSP. The Joy of Noel Bundle is just so wonderful… I love the words, the decorative stamps and the dies. What I did here is stamp the holly & berry ‘spray’ in Memento ink, twice, on Basic White card stock. I always find it easier to color a larger piece than a small one, so I color it then die cut. Make sense? The coloring is done with Stampin’ Blends: Old Olive (both light & dark) for the leaves, Shaded Spruce (both light & dark) for the holly, Light Real Red for the berries sand a bit of Dark Cherry Cobbler for shading on the berries. I die cut these and set them aside to prep the Thick Basic White card base. I caut a piece of the red plaid pattern from the Joy of Christmas DSP and adhered it to the card front. I laid the two die cut ‘spray’ pieces just for placement purposes to know where to stamp the sentiment. After removing them I stamped the sentiment from Joy of Noel stamp set in Real Red ink. I adhered the two die cut ‘spray’s on dimensionals along the top line of the DSP. I scattered some notes & holly from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins package. I stamped the word ‘noel’ on Real Red card stock with Real Red ink, die cut them and adhered them directly to the ‘sprays’. As a final touch, I cut a short length of the Large Check Ribbon in Black & Very vanilla and attached it under the spray with a glue dot. Very cheerful & festive!

For the inside, I took a panel of Basic White card stock and adhered a very narrow strip of the Joy of Christmas DSP near the bottom of the panel. I then stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink, still using the Joy of Noel stamp set. I attached three red gems from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins package with a dob of glue, adhered the panel to the inside of the card and done!

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel card & envelope

For the envelope, I took another pattern from the Joy of Christmas DSP, adhered it to the flap & trimmed it to fit. On the front I stamped the berry spray in Memento ink, then added Stampin’ Blends in Real Red to the berries. This card is so clean & traditional, friendly & bright. – I really like it.

Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 9, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s hop time… every Thursday our group does a fabulous hop creating cards, note cards, boxes, special items, to meet the challenge of the week. This week is a sketch challenge and I find these the easiest to do for some reason.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday sketch Challenge

What do you think? Does my card match the challenge? I think so! What did I do, how did I make this, what supplies did I use?

I cut three panels of Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP to cover the entire card front & adhered them to the Real Red card base.
With my embossing buddy, I cleared the top panel and stamped the sentiment (Christmas Classics stamp set) with VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder & heat set it.
I stamped the large image(Joy of Noel stamp set)in Memento Black ink and colored it with several Stampin’ Blends
- Old Olive, Shaded Spruce, Dark Real Red, Dark Cherry Cobbler
- Die cut image with coordinating die (Joy of Noel Dies)
Die cut pine boughs (Joy of Noel Dies) from Old Olive card stock
Add Large Check Ribbon to card front with Stampin’ Seal
Add pine boughs with Stampin’ Seal
Add large colored image with dimensionals
Add three Loose Holly Gems & Sequins near sentiment – done!

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel. hop 11/9 inside

For the inside, I stamped this delightful holly stamp from Christmas Classics stamp set in Memento ink, then the berries from the same stamp set in Real Red ink: To color the holly I used Stampin’ Blends Shaded Spruce. All this on a Basic White panel and then adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel card & envelope.hop 11/9

For the envelope, more of the Joy of Christmas DSP on the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit. On the front, the very same holly and berries stamped in Memento ink using the Christmas Classics stamp set. These were colored with Stampin’ Blends for the holly and the berries stamped in Real Red ink.

Choosing the background papers was the most difficult for me :O], but I like the finished product, although a bit darker than I would like. Anyhoo… on with the hop! Use the next button to take you to Carol or clkick on a name to visit another;s blog. Whatever you do, don’t miss a single one – they will be fabulous!

Stampin’ Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 19, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to another fun BLOG HOP by our creative group. I can’t wait to see what others have made for the hop today. We have a color challenge.

Stampin' Up! Color Challenge for Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold w/ Bright & Beautiful 6x6

Can you see all those colors in the color challenge in this DSP? Blueberry Bushel is the card base; Lost Lagoon is the ink on the sentiment, and Pretty Peacock is in the DSP, Moody Mauve is in the DSP too. So, I’m covered – whew! Isn’t this a fun card? I had such fun creating it!

Card base is 8 x 5 1/2, score at 2, 6 on long side
On the short side, cut @ 1 1/4″ on both short sides between score lines
On the long side, score @ 3″ & 5″ between cut lines
On the long side, score @ 4″ from top & bottom to cut line

Stasmpin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold basic form

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold from the top

In far left photo is how your card base should look after all cutting and score lines have been made. The photo next to it shows the image from the top.

Now it’s time to decorate with DSP & die cuts and all that good stuff.

DSP & center layers:

DSP for side front panels: 1 7/8 x 5 3/8, cut 2
DSP for small sections: 1 7/8 x 1 1/8, cut 4
Center card stock: 2 3/8 x 3
Center DSP: 2 1/4 x 2 7/8

Adhere center layers together & add to small center section of card.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold side DSP panels

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold DSP panels & center panel

In photos at left, it is clear where the various panels should be added, whether by liquid glue or Stampin’ Seal. I prefer the liquid glue as it allows for flexibility. It is up to you, however.

Now it’s time to decorate! I used Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP for the balloons and the added panels of DSP adhered to the card base & center section. I used Beautiful Balloons stamp set and Beautiful Balloons Dies for all the die cuts – including the center sentiment banner, stars and tassel. The stars & tassel were die cut from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Silver & Gold Adhesive-Backed Glitter Paper (LOVE THIS!) Because the glitter paper is adhesive backed, I die cut another tassel in white to adhere to it. On the smaller balloon, I added Gold Celebrations SDSP to the Bright & Beautiful DSP prior to die cutting. I colored a couple of strings of White Baker’s Twine with Light Blueberry Bushel Stampin Blends & tied them around the balloon bottoms and attached the ends with a rolled glue dot. I also added Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Gold to further the gold effect. On the back, I added a 1 1/2 x 4 Basic White strip to a side panel to write my message. And the card was done!

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Fun Fold card & envelope

On the envelope I added a 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP and trimmed it to fit. I stamped the front of the envelope with Lost Lagoon ink and a sentiment from Beautiful Balloons stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on September 28, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! We have a sketch challenge for today’s hop and it was extra fun.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures for the Hop 9/28

You can see I did not deviate from the sketch at all… and that’s unusual for me. I usually do something different. This is a great masculine card – and I have trouble making those. But this DSP: Earthen Elegance DSP is perfect for a ‘man card.’ I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the various patterns from the Earthen Elegance DSP. The card base is Copper Clay card stock (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2) which coordinates with this designer series paper. I cut another piece of the Copper Clay just slightly smaller than the card front and ran it through a Basic 3D Embossing Folder (flower) from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. There are three embossing folders in this set. I wrapped a Copper Ribbon around it after embossing and secured it in back with Stampin’ Seal. The ribbon comes from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack found in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. (You will find links both to the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and to the mini catalog below.) I then attached the die cut circles: the largest with liquid glue, the next size with dimensionals and the smallest with dimensionals and liquid glue where it overlaps. I added three Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots in Copper for a bit of glam. I also tied a knot with more of the Copper Ribbon and secured it in place with a glue dot. And the front was complete!

Earthen Elegance card inside.2

I stamped the sentiment using Early Espresso ink with the Earthen Textures stamp set on a Basic White panel. I appreciate how clean the words are! I then ran a die through on this same panel from Earthen Textures Dies that does not cut, but leaves an impression instead. The second photo above shows that better.

Stampin' Up! Earthen Elegance card & envelope

For the envelope I used more of the Earthen Elegance DSP for the flap and trimmed it to fit. For the front, I stamped another sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set in Early Espresso ink – and one & done! I really like how this card turned out and alrecy know to whom it will be given :O)

Stampin’ Up! Fall Leaves Theme for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on September 7, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Stampin' Up! Fall Leaves Theme Thus hop 9/7

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Double Easel Card

This is how it looks from the side.

Stampin' Up! Double Easel card side view

This is a double easel card and not complicated. There ARE a lot of steps cuz there’s coloring with both Watercolor Pencils and Blending Brushes. So… let’s start with those first.

Leaves from Autumn Leaves stamp set & Autumn Leaves Dies

Ink the leaf from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Crushed Curry ink.
With that still ink on the stamp, with various Blending Brushes add dabs of Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow. I find it best to tap the ink on lightly, especially if the color is strong.
Stamp on a Very Vanilla panel. Clean stamp and repeat process so there are two leaves stamped. You will note in my photo, one is much lighter than the other – that was intentional!
Die cut leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies & set aside.
Die cut leaf veins with appropriate die from Autumn Leaves Dies using scraps from both Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake card stock.
Adhere to appropriate stamped & die cut leaves with dabs of liquid glue – DO NOT PUT GLUE ON THE TAIL OF THE VEIN!

Bird – Perched In A Tree stamp set with coordinating Aspen Tree Dies

Stamped this very fat robin in Stazon ink on a Basic White scrap. Stazon because it stamps so very clearly and does not bleed at all when colored.
Watercolor Pencils: Early Espresso & Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie & Real Red. I listed them this way as they will be used in pairs as listed.
- With a flicking motion, begin adding color to the robin with Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil. This is a base layer and need not be too heavy. The reason for the flicking motion in lieu of back & forth coloring is it look more natural, more feather like. Refer to the photo for where this color should be added.
- Add Cajun Craze Watercolor Pencil in the same way.
- Now add more Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil until you are satisfied.
- Switch to Pumpkin Pie and do the head & chest, flicking as you go to make it look like real feathers. Change direction of the flicking too – or… turn the robin to make the motion easier for the particular direction.
- Add Real Red Watercolor Pencil, more on the top and under the beak, still flicking making it feather-like.
- Add Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil to the beak and to the feet
- Die cut with die from Aspen Tree Dies – set aside.

The base for a Double Easel Card:

I used Crumb Cake card stock… 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 & 2 3/4; the bottom half is also Crumb Cake card stock 4 1/4 x 4 1/4, scored at 2 & 1/4. Burnish well all score lines.
Adhere the 1/4 scored area to the inside of the card base that is not scored.
Add a Very Vanilla panel 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 to the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 area of the card base, covering the adhered Crumb Cake front piece. This is the inside of the card and could be stamped if you so desired. I left it blank.

Stampin' Up! Double Easel card, inside view

Now let’s decorate… :O)

Die cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock cut to 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 with this wonderful open Aspen Tree Die.
Add this die cut piece to the front folded section of the card base. NOTE: you are adding this die with glue only on the lower half. HINT: I turned the die over and marked lightly with a pencil, the area to add glue. :O)
Lay die right in place over the die cut panel, place cutting plate to score line & run through, cutting that front fold section. You may have to go back & forth a bit, but only cut to the score line!
With a craft knife, cut pieces that should be removed per the die.
Stamp sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla in Early Espresso ink. My sentiment is from the Perched In A Tree stamp set and the Very Vanilla is approximately 5/8 by 5. Adhere sentiment with dimensionals over the score line.

Stampin' Up! Perched In A Tree back side of partial die cut

This is what it looks like from the back once adhered and die cut the second time. It’s clear my Exacto knife was not quite sharp enough to make clean cuts. :O(

Die cut additional leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies, Aspen
Tree Dies and Distressed Gold Specialty DSP.
- adhere the two like leaves on the sentiment banner with liquid glue.
FRONT section of the double easel…
With stamp from Perched in a Tree, stamp the splotches with on Very Vanilla panel 1 3/4 x 4 14 with stamped-off Pecan Pie ink.
Add panel to very front of easel section, centering top to bottom.
- Add reserved stamped leaves colored with Blending Brushes – Autumn Leaves stamp set & Autumn Leaves Dies – with liquid glue.
- Add Aspen Tree Die in Distressed Gold with liquid glue on one end and dimensional on leaf tip end. This adds depth.
- Add double bow made with Simply Elegant Trim in Gold with glue dot.
Add robin die cut with Aspen Tree Dies with double dimensionals
For a final touch… add several Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to this panel and to the Aspen Tree die cut on the top section of the easel.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Double Easel Card & envelope

For the envelope… I added Neutral 6×6 DSP in Crumb Cake to the flap & trimmed it to fit. For the envelope front I stamped the leaf vein from Autumn Leaves stamp set in Early Espresso ink. My card was inspired by Jo Blackman and a card she made in 2022.

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

Posted on August 31, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

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

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

Posted on August 24, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

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! 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.

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!
