Good Saturday morning! It is crisp this morning on the East coast, which made for a beautiful walk. For my card this morning, I’m using a retired DSP as the fun fold part and DSP from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog. It made for a fun creation.
The retired DSP is Joy of Christmas 12×12 and the birds are directly die cut from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP using the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. The birds are dimensionals on a Basic White banner die cut from the Greetings of the Season Dies. The ribbon is Cherry Cobbler Satin Ribbon. Now let’s open the card to see what’s inside.
The Basic White panel is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and comes from the Greetings of the Season stamp set – so I used the bundle on this card. The pine frond on this panel is a Shaded Spruce die cut from the Golden Greenery Dies. The larger pine branch is a die cut from the Graceful Greenery Vellum using a matched die from the Golden Greenery Dies. And because it’s vellum and see through, I added a Basic White behind it, die cut with the same die. Now let’s open this the other way to see the other side of the DSP.
I added this beautiful die cut in Basic White – just cuz – the panel needed something more. This also comes from the Golden Greenery Dies. And in this photo, you can see the DSP is adhered to a Cherry Cobbler base. For the measurements and card cuts, see below.
Want to remake this card? The Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog has lots of choices of 12×12 DSP that can be used. See all the items in that catalog here. Remember when shopping with me to use my host code and make sure my name is listed as your demonstrator. If your order is $50 or more, I like to send a little giftie of a stampin’ Up! item valued up to $10 and you will also receive a copy of the monthly tutorial :O). If your order is over $150, don’t use the HOST CODE as Stampin’ Up! has it’s own rewards, but I will still send that valued item & the monthly tutorial. Joining my team will afford you the opportunity to view & play with products before being sold to the public. Join with me here for more fun. Need more information? Let me help.

Welcome to our hop! We have a sketch challenge today and it has been fun to play with this. I’ve used the Christmas Friends bundle to make my creation – such cute creatures in this set.
Ok, this is like two cards in one… as the small square with the green stripe opens. I love this little tree and the stars are die cut with the coordinating Christmas Friends Dies and a bit of Peach Pie. I stamped the tree in Garden Green ink and die cut it for the card front, attaching the die cut with dimensionals to a Basic White strip 1/4 x 3 1/2 – then set it aside. Oh- but I get ahead of myself… the base of the entire card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The layers are Garden Green 4 x 5 14 and Nests of Winter DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8, then attached to the Basic White card base with dimensionals.
The small square is 2 3/8 x 4 3/4 folded in half and burnished. Garden Green is adhered both to the square front and the inside cut 2 1/4 x 2 1/4. The Nests of Winter green stripe piece is 2 1/8 x 2 1/8 – both adhered with liquid glue. The mouse is stamped in Memento Black and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Gray granite, Real Red, Shy Shamrock & Petal Pink. I added Wink of Stella to the bell and also to each Peach Pie star. I die cut the mouse and added it to the small square card, also attaching the strip with the tree. For the inside of the square card, I stamped the tree from Christmas Friends stamp set, stampin off first, then stamping on the Basic White panel. This was added to the card front, centering it.
For the inside… a Garden Green panel 4 x 5 1/4 adhered to the inside. A Basic White panel cut to 3 7/8 x 51/8 and stamped with the adorable bear from Christmas Friends stamp set in Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Real Red and Shy shamrock. Wink of Stella was added to the bow and the red dots. I then stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink – also from Christmas Friends stamp set. I adhered the remaining star and added Wink of Stella to it as well. This was attached to the inside of the card – and all done!
For the envelope… more of the Nests of Winter DSP to the flap and the tree stamped in Garden Green ink on the front. Ta Da! These are the cutest little beasties…

Good Thursday – and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a theme challenge today – Christmas. Love it! It could be packaging or a card or decoration. You have jumped here from the fabulous Tara or simply come here first. However you got here – welcome! I chose to use the Festive 12×12 Glimmer Paper to make my card.
This is full of glimmer and the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP, plus Spotlight on Nature Dies (one of my favorite die sets) and the Sentimental Wishes bundle.
Begin with a card base 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Add a panel of Take a Bow DSP on the card front on the bottom 1 1/2 x 3 1/4. Cut strips of Glimmer 12 x 12 Paper 1 x 6, then cutting diagonally to opposite corners. (These are Real Red and Garden Green glimmer papers.) Begin adding strips with the pointy tip at the edge of the card front, attaching just above the bottom panel of DSP. Keep adding until the card front is covered. It will look like the below photo. Notice the extra Glimmer at the top and excess DSP at the bottom?
Now turn over the card front and remove excess DSP so it’s even with the card base. :O) Now create the decorated panel that will cover those pointy tips: Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, die cut circle using Spotlight on Nature Dies; die cut another circle using same die set and Granny Apple Green card stock & adhere to Basic White circle with dimensionals. Stamp this sweet candle/ greens stamp using Sentimental Wishes stamp set & Memento ink. Color with Stampin Blends – Old Olive, Real Red, Lemon Lolly with Peach Pie at the bottom of the flame. Add Wink of Stella to candle drippings and berries. Die cut with appropriate die from Sentimental Wishes Dies. Add with dimensionals. For embellishment, add Clear Ribbon Adhesive-Backed Dots. Add to card front, making certain it does not extend beyond card when closed.
For the inside… add a 3/4 x 5 1/2 strip of Take a Bow 6×6 DSP to the outside edge of the inside of the card. Add another strip 1/2 x 5 1/2, this time in Granny Apple Green. Stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Garden Green ink – and the card is complete!
For the envelope – more of the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. Add the Sentimental Wishes sentiment in Garden Green ink and the card is complete! Time to count my Christmas cards… I’m pretty certain I do not have enough :O(

Happy Sunday morning – crispy air here today at 48 degrees. I have an easy fun fold today, one I found on Pinterest – hope you like it.
Susan Campfield created this card in a video tutorial and I liked the ease of it, then did my own thing.
Card Cuts:
5 1/2 x 5 1/4, score on short side at 4 1/4 (here I used Real Red)
4 x 4 (again, Real Red)
DSP panels: 3/4 x 4 (cut 2); 3/4 x 5 1/4; contrasting DSP 3 x 3 3/4 (here I used Take A Bow 6×6)
Basic White: 3 x 3 (circle on front) 2 x 3 (stamped holly); 4 x 3 3/4 (inside)
The first step is to burnish the score line on the card base, then add the 4 x 4 panel, centering it left & right & even with the bottom of the card base. This means it does not attach all the way to the score line! Now adhere the DSP panels: the 3/4 x 5 1/4 across the top and the two 3/4 x 4 panels on. the inside – keeping an even border on each – and the 3 x 3 3/4 on the front panel. Wrap a ribbon around the top & tie a bow. Here I used a retired Garden Green ribbon and kept it in place with a glue dot. As an option you could use that top area for a sentiment.
For the front… with Decked Circles Dies (6th from center), die cut a circle in Basic White and stamp with Sentimental Wishes stamp set and Real Red ink. Add it to the card front with dimensionals. Stamp the holly image from Sentimental Wishes in Garden Green ink and with a water painter very slightly damp, pull the color on the holly leaves. Don’t over work this step. With a Real Red Marker, color the berries, then die cut the image with the coordinating Sentimental Wishes Dies. Attach with dimensionals to the circle. Add Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Backed Berries – and the card front is complete. :O)
On the inside… with Peaceful Season Dies and Festive 12×12 Glimmer paper in Garden Green, die cut the word Christmas and adhere to the inside of the card. Remember to save the dot on the ‘i’ and attach it as well. Now stamp the word ‘merry’ from Peaceful Season stamp set in Real Red ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to the inside of the card & voila – the card is complete.
For the envelope … more of the Take A Bow DSP is adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. AgainI stamped the holly using the Sentimental Wishes stamps in Garden Green ink, used the water painter barely damp to pull the color into the leaves. I used a Real Red marker to color the berries.
There’s only a few more days to take advantage of our Starter Kit Special! Those who sign up to be Stampin’ Up! demonstrators by October 31 will get $125 USD | $165 CAD$155 USD | $206 CAD worth of products in their Starter Kit for just $99 USD | $135 CAD!

Welcome to the HOP! Our theme today is fun folds – and there will be some extraordinary ones, I am certain. I have chosen a tried & true front flap fun fold for today, using the WinterlyTree Tops bundle, the Christmas Labels bundle and Nests of Winter 12 x 12 DSP.
I’m going to be honest, I haven’t played with this set and I’ve had it for a bit. I… LOVE… IT… The pine frame is from Basic White card stock (3 5/8 x 5) and die cut with Winterly Tree Tops Dies. The birds are fussy cut (paper snips) from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP and added with dimensionals. The background (stripes) is also from this DSP pack (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) and was layered on Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 3/8), and adhered to the Basic Black card front. I added three Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE). Let’s look at how this card opens… the front flap opens from the top to show the gatefold, below.
The layers are Cherry Cobbler (2 x 5 3/8 – cut 2) and a smaller Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP (1 7/8 x 5 1/4- cut 2) and adhere together and then to the Basic Black card baseThe sentiment panel is stamped on Basic White with Cherry Cobbler ink using the Christmas Labels stamp set then die cut with the coordinating Christmas Lablels Dies. Only the left side of the label was attached to the left ‘gate’.
Here is the inside…
The inside… a panel of Basic White (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) with another fussy cut bird from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP attached with liquid glue. This panel was added to Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 1/4) then to the inside of the Basic Black card base. All opened out the card looks like this…
And the envelope I kept very simple… more of the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit, and a sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Christmas Labels stamp set.
These two bundles and the DSP may be found in the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2024 Catalog. The card stock & adhesive, scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder are in the Stampin’ Up! 2024 Annual Catalog.

Good Saturday! What is your day like where you live? Here in New Jersey it is rainy and about 71 degrees. A day for staying inside! Wednesday I had a card class using the super fun Sophisticated Sled bundle. I love this card and this bundle…
I used several different products to make this card, but let’s begin with the card base – Shaded Spruce 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, then trim off on the long side 2 3/4. This panel becomes the background for the sled. :O) Next I cut pieces of Sentimental Christmas DSP and adhered them to the card base: 4 x 2 1/2 (cut 2, one for card front top and one for inside); 4 x 2 3/4 (this is my stripe panel). And since there is some overlap here, I added a strip of Shaded Spruce 1/2 x 4.
I stamped the inside top panel in Shaded Spruce ink with a stamp from Sophisticated Sled stamp set. Back to the card front… with the DSP adhered, I added the 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 panel removed from the card base by centering it and added adhesive just to the top portion. Now the super fun part – the sled.
From Silver Foil Sheet (2 x 4) die cut the sled rungs and skate bottoms
From Basic White (2 x 2 3/4) die cut the skate shoes and laces
From Country Woods DSP (2 x 3 & note the direction of the grain) die cut the sled.
From Full of Life DSP die cut the green leaf spray. There are two layered together here, offset, so the variegation of the DSP shows.
Putting it all together…
Adhere the wood-grain Country Woods sled top to the silver sled rungs. NOTE: the sled top has tiny holes on each side – line those up with the silver cross bars. There are two parts to the sled top die cut, the second does not show as it is under the green spray, but that portion used to ‘guide’ the sled if someone was riding it. (Remember those days?) Adhere this piece in place at a silver cross bar.
Glue the two leaf sprays together in the center only, then add to the sled ‘cross bar’ in center only.
Skates shoes … there is a tiny slit to insert the laces, adhere those in place; add silver ‘skate’ to shoe bottom. Add left skate shoe to sled with dimesnionals, then right skate shoe with dimensionals on bottom of skate
Add sled to Shaded Spruce panel with dimensionals
Add Add Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Backed Berries to green spray
Add White Loose Snowflakes as shown with dots of liquid glue. This is a bit fiddly but worth the effect/ look!
Now turn the card over to the back… to a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel, add 3 die cut snowflakes using the Frozen Edges Dies. I die cut these from scraps of the Sentimental Christmas DSP. I added Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes on each of these – in gold, copper and white, adhered the panel in place and the card was complete!
For the envelope… I cut a panel of Sentimental Christmas DSP 2 1/4 x 6 and adhered it to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I stamped the sentiment from Sophisticated Sled in Shaded Spruce ink. I stamped the bottom two times, then the final stamp on the side.
Love, love, love this card! Maybe because it brings back such fond memories of snow & sledding the hills of a golf course back home – really good memories.

Good Friday morning! We had a team meeting recently and the Sentimental Wishes bundle was used for three presentations. This card is elegant and stunning.
First of all, I love the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog. It adds wonderful texture to this card. The Stitched Shapes Dies (circles) feel as though I’m looking through a special window – and I love the Shaded Spruce Satin and Sheer Ribbon bow! Let’s create this together.
Cut a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4 and set aside.
Cut a Basic White panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, place the largest Stitched Shape circle die in the center and die cut. Take this same piece and run it through the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. Hint: Because this is a linear folder, I tend to use the black line as my guide for making sure the lines are straight and square using this folder.
Cut a Cherry Cobbler panel 4 x 5 1/4 and with the next to largest circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies, center the die and die cut. Layer this panel to the back side of the embossed panel with adhesive of choice. Add to the Thick Basic White card front with dimensionals.
On Basic White scraps, stamp the candle image and two holly images from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Memento ink. Color with Stampin’ Blends: flame- Lemon Lolly and Light Pumpkin Pie; holly leaves – Shaded Spruce; berries – Cherry Cobbler; candle shading – Light Gray Granite. Add Wink of Stella to the flame & the dripping wax for a bit of sparkle. Die cut pieces with the Sentimental Wishes Dies.
Add holly branches with glue dots and candles w/ holly on dimensionals to the card front circle.
Add the bow made from Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon with a glue dot – and the front is complete – elegance personified!
For the inside…
On the Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4, stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Memento ink. Stamp the candle image from this set, also in Memento ink. Color as on card front. Adhere this to a Cherry Cobbler panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and add to inside of card. Fait accomplis’ – and beautiful!
For the envelope I added a panel of Regals 6×6 DSP to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. On the front, I stamped the candle image once more in Memento ink and colored as before. Love, love this card! Thank you Karen Ksenzakovich, for your creation and demonstration during our team meeting.

Good Saturday! What is new in your corner of the world? Now that it is just a bit cooler, hubby and I have been trimming bushes that desperately need it and doing some other yard work … consequently had to purchase some new tools as well. Interesting how tools wear out – just as we do! :O) Anyway – I’ve made a very clean and simple card for you today using the Peaceful Evergreen Dies and the Peaceful Season stamp set. As an FYI, each of these comes as a bundle for 10% savings and can be found in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog pages 24-25.
This is pretty much an all white card except for the DSP strips for the tree. I love this clean look, but it is a bit on the plain side. Perhaps I should have run it through an Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder. Next time! To make this card..
Start with a 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White panel and die cut the largest tree using the Peaceful Evergreen Dies, centering it.
Using the die cut tree, lay strips across it to your liking. I used the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. Adhere to the die cut.
Place this tree on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, using the cut out tree panel as a guide for placement. Adhere.
Add dimensionals to the cut out tree panel and place on top, centering.
Add to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
On a 1/2 x 3 3/4 strip of Basic White, stamp the sentiment in Real Red ink using the Peaceful Seasons stamp set. Adhere with adhesive only on the ends.
Add embellishments of choice. Here I used the Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries
As a final touch I added this Granny Apple Green star at the top, die cut from Festive 12×12 Glimmer Paper.
For the inside… I created another ‘strip’ tree in a smaller size laying the strips on a Basic White panel and die cutting with the smallest of the trees in Peaceful Evergreen Dies. I adhered this to the 4 x 5 1/4 basic White panel, then stamped the sentiment from Peaceful Seasons stamp set in real Red ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card and done…
For the envelope, I took a 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Take A Bow DSP and adhered it to the flap and that was it.

WooHoo! The catalog you have been waiting for is live and purchases may begin… My card today features Season of Elegance SDSP and two bundles – the Peaceful Evergreens and Peaceful Seasons. It also uses the Cherry Cobbler & Gold 3/8″ Satin Ribbon that is part of the suite of products.
I began by stamping these beautiful trees in Mossy Meadow ink on a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of the Seasons of Elegance SDSP. I stamped the ‘Merry’ from the Peaceful Season stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, then the ‘Christmas’ in VersaMark and sprinkled in Gold embossing powder, then heat set it. Oh my goodness – so pleased with how this large sentiment heat embossed! The ink on the word ‘Merry’ must have still been a bit wet as it also took some of the gold embossing powder. I die cut the star from Gold Foil scrap and adhered it with a mini dimensional. I adhered this panel to Cherry Cobbler 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 then wrapped the Cherry Cobbler Satin Ribbon around it and secured it in back with Seal+. I tied a bow and adhered it with a glue dot. Both panels were added to a Basic Beige card base 4 1/4 x 11. I added Wink of Stella to various parts of all the stamped trees.
On the inside, I stamped this single stamp of five trees in Basic Beige, then the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler and adhered the 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Basic Beige to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, I stamped the same single stamp of five trees in Basic Beige on the front and more of the Season of Elegance SDSP on the flap – this time showing off the other side of this gorgeous SDSP.

This is a brand new week – and hard to believe it is September 2 already. The summer went by so darn quickly…. and yes, it isn’t ended until September 22, I get that. But somehow, Labor Day, school starting, other programs picking up again – it seems like summer ‘up & went.’ Bad English, I know. My cards today… I have resisted creating the ever popular ‘stack & cut cards’. And that’s on me. Yesterday I did it and here are the four cards I created.
Take A Bow 6×6 #1
Take A Bow 6×6 #3
Take A Bow 6×6 #4
One of the reasons I have resisted making stack & cut cards is they are so similar – and I rarely make two of the same card. What I did here is use very different dies for the front sentiment panels. And if you are not familiar with stack & cut cards – here’s the idea… take 4 designer series papers that coordinate, stack them one on top of the other and cut – meaning all four papers are cut exactly the same. What changes is the order of how they appear on the card. And I made my cards as two horizontal and two vertical cards. By switching the cut papers it changes the ‘look’ of each card while using all the same papers. Make sense?
How to create these cards… the DSP is Take A Bow 6×6 DSP available Sep 4 in the new 2024 Sep-Dec Mini Catalog – choose four (4) coordinating patterns, stack them one on top of another and cut 3 3/4 x 5. On the short side cut at 2 1/2″, then cut that strip on the long side at 2 1/4″. And the remaining uncut strip that is now 1 3/4 x 5, cut it at 3 1/4″, leaving two sizes: 1 1/4 x 1 3/4 and 1 1/4 x 3 3/4. Keep papers in appropriate stacks. Cut four different coordinating card stocks 4 x 5 1/4. Begin laying out the DSP patterns by placing all of the top pieces from the same pattern on each of the four cardstock panels – using the cards above as a guide. None of the designer series papers that I chose are directional, so it didn’t matter where they were placed. If any your patterns are directional, that will make a difference. Continue each pattern of DSP until all are distributed. Adhere to cardstock with adhesive of choice, then add to card base with dimensionals.
Besides the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP, here are the various supplies needed for each card:
Card 1 -Something Fancy Dies, Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon in White, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Christmas Friends stamp set on the inside, Real Red ink and Granny Apple Green + Garden Green ink, Adhesive Backed Berries.

Card 4 – Greetings of the Season Bundle, Christmas Friends stamp set, (mouse)and Stampin Blends Real Red and Granny Apple Green for the mouse, Red & White Baker’s Twine, Adhesive Backed Berries.
