Stampin’ Up! Take A Bow 6×6 Stack & Cut C’mas Cards

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.

Stampin' Up! Take a bow 6x6 Stack & cut #1
Take A Bow 6×6 #1
Stampin' Up! Stack & Cut Take a Bow 6x6 #3
Take A Bow 6×6 #3
Stampin' Up! Stack & Cut Take a Bow 6x6 #4
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 2 – Nested Essentials Dies, Greetings of the Season for sentiments, Christmas Friends (mouse) and to color the mouse, Stampin’ Blends Real Red and Granny Apple Green, Adhesive Backed Berries, and inks Real Red and Garden Green.

Card 3 – Greetings of the Season Bundle, Natural Tones Linen Thread in Garden Green, Adhesive Backed Berries and inks Real Red and Granny Apple Green.

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.

Here’s the envelope for each card + the inside of each:

Stampin’ Up! Iconic Celebrations Suite Holiday Card

Good morning! It’s been hot & steamy this week and yesterday buckets of rain with more due today – all remnants of Hurricane Beryl. So what to do – make a card that reminds us of cool :O) The iconic Imagery bundle has several themes: leaves (fall), snowflakes (winter), stars & hearts & candles, and various sentiments – grateful (Thanksgiving), celebrate (birthday or anniversary or special holiday (Christmas, New Years). And the dies include several banner dies, snowflake, leaves, stars, hearts & trees.

Stampin' Up! Iconic Celebrations Holiday card front

I’ve used one of the Cherry Cobbler papers in the Iconic Celebrations 6×6 DSP pack to create a background for the gorgeous banner die that I used for the word ‘celebrate’ – all from this suite of products.

The card base is Mossy Meadow 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 with the fold at the top. I cut a Basic White panel and layered it with the Iconic Celebrations 6×6 DSP and adhered this to the card front with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Iconic Imagery stamp set and stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and die cut with Iconic Imagery Dies. I cut a 3/4″ strip of Mossy Meadow and adhered that directly to the banner, added dimensionals and adhered this in place. From one of the Iconic Celebrations 6×6 DSP papers, I die cut several of these cute trees – yep, directly from the DSP! I added a mini dimensional on the back near the top of the tree and liquid glue at the bottom of the tree and added this to the banner and card front. I colored a Rhinestone Basic Jewel with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends and set it aside to dry while adding Pecan Pie & Clear Ribbon Adhesive-Backed Dots to the banner (from the suite!). With the Rhinestone dry, I added it to the top of the tree. I cut three short lengths of White 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain ribbon, trimmed the ends as you see them and tucked them in behind the banner and beside the tree, then also in the lower left corner adhering in place with glue dots. With Linen Thread I tied three bows and pushed them under the banner, adhering them in place with a glue dot. What’s kinda fun – I used every product from this suite for this card :O) Finis for the front!

Stampin' Up! Iconic Celebrations Holiday card inside

Remember those extra trees I die cut from the Iconic Celebrations 6×6 DSP? Here are three more, adhered directly to a Basic White panel for the inside of the card. :O)

Stampin' Up! Iconic Celebrations Holiday Card & envelope

And here’s the last tree I die cut – on the envelope front! And the Iconic Celebrations 6×6 DSP from which I die cut the tree – a piece adhered to the flap, pulling the whole card together. This would be a card that could be used for a birthday during the winter holidays – or for a Christmas card – just add an appropriate sentiment. And – it could be a masculine card.

Stampin’ Up! Beary Christmas Memories and More Card Pack

Good morning! Sometime ago I received a gift from my upline of this very fun Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack. It has been sitting on my desk just waiting for me to play. I have three to share today. Before I share, look at pages 22 & 23 in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and see all the items that come in the pack. These are larger in size: 4 1/4 x 6 1/2, so just be aware of that.

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More cards.1
Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More Card Pack.3
Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More Card Pack.2

Card 1, far left, uses the card base from the card pack, a layer of Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP, a window sheet (to make the shaker card) and these tiny trees die cut using the Tiny Trees Die found on page 13 in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog, a sticker from the card pack (Merry Christmas) and a twine (2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack found in the 2023 Annual Catalog.) I also used Pearlized Enamel Effects in White and gave a dot on each of the green trees. It really does make the card sparkle! These little tiny trees are left over from another project some time ago :O)

Stampin'n Up! Beary C'mas mem'ries & More card pack.4

Card 2, middle, uses the Card base from the card pack, another panel of the Beary C’mas 12×12 DSP and two ‘cards’ layered together and on dimensionals. I also used Pearlized Enamel Effects in white on the trees.

Stampin' Up! Pearlized Enamel Effects in white
Stampin' Up! Pearlized Enamel Effects.6

It is important when using the Pearlized Enamel Effects to LET IT DRY completely. I usually add it at the end of creating a card and set it aside while I work on another project.

Card 3, far right, is another shaker card but without the shakers :O) That’s another story!!! Here I wrapped the gorgeous Silver & White 1/2″ Ribbon (from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog) around the ‘shaker’ and tied it with Woven Metallic Ribbon in Parakeet Party from the 2023 Annual Catalog. I adhered the ‘shaker’ portion directly to the decorated card base – decorated with Beary C’mas 12×12 DSP.

This is such a cute card pack and I’ve had such fun putting it together. More cards will be shared another time.

Starting tomorrow Oct 3 and going through to Oct 31 is a Starter Kit Special you will not want to miss. Celebrating 35 years of Stampin’ Up!, new demonstrators will be able to choose 35% OFF the cost of their Starter Kit or get 35% MORE product with their Starter Kit.

Stampin’ Up! Double Box Fun Fold for Class

Good morning! Sunshine today – and I mean FULL sunshine. After 5 full days of rain and haze and cloud cover, the shining sun is very welcome… Today’s card was inspired by one of my teammates, Carol Buckelew. I love this fun fold – so very easy and creates a stand up card that’s fun to show off. After I made a couple of them, we made this in my card class Thursday.

Stampin' Up! Double Box Fun Fold w/ One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

I used the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP both for this card and another and in the card class as well. I love how each has a different scene. (You’ll see each of the others in the photos below) I also incorporated the Forever Forest stamp set (used on the card back) and coordinating Forever Forest Dies (for the die cut trees on the front). The circle was made using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Dimensions / Card Cuts

  • Card Base 1: 4 1/4 x 9 3/8 scored on the long side @ 3/8, 1 3/8, 2 7/8, 3 7/8
    • DSP for this base 1: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8; 4 1/8 x 1 3/8
  • Card Base 2: 3 1/2 x 5 1/8 scored on the long side @ 3/8 & 1 3/8
    • DSP for base 2: 3 3/8 x 3 58; 3 3/8 x 7/8
  • DSP for envelope flap: 2 1/4 x 6

Burnish score lines for Base 1; add DSP to long unscored end of base 1. Add Tear ‘n Tape to 3/8″ end fold under, then lay flat at 2 7/8 score line and adhere to make ‘box’. Adhere 1 3/8 DSP to appropriate panel – refer to photos. Add Tear ‘n Tape to 3/8″ section of base 2.

Stampin' Up! Double Box Fun Fold directions.1

Turn Base 2 to wrong side and center on Base 1, top, bottom, left & right. Add Stampin’ Seal as shown; turn over to right side and adhere to Base 1.

Remove Tear ‘n Tape & adhere to create box 2

Stampin' Up! Double Box fun fold.6

Wow – almost there! Add 3 3/8 x 3 5/8 DSP to Base 2 front, then adhere 7/8 x 3 3/8 panel to panel to right of that.

Stampin' Up! Double Box fun fold.7

Decorate front as desired. On this card I used the Forever Forest Dies to die cut two trees: one in Crumb Cake (smaller) and one in Pebbled Path. I layered them on a circle – die cut using Basic White and the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a bit of glam. See photo.

Stampin' Up! Double Box Fun Fold w/ One Horse Open Sleigh DSP
Stampin' Up! Double Box fun fold.8, back of card

For the back of the card I stamped a Basic White panel (4 1/8 x 5 3/8) using the trees from the Forever Forest stamp set and Mossy Meadow ink. The sentiment is from the Night Divine stamp set and stamped in Pebbled Path ink. The envelope was simple: more of the same One Horse Open Sleigh DSP for the flap & trimmed to fit. :O) :O) :O) Such a FUN CARD….

Here’s another and those made in the card class. All use the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP from the NLINE EXCLUSIVES store.

The students really enjoyed this class – had so much fun and were creative in decorating the card front and the back as well. Unfortunately I didn’t take photos of the back of the card :O( ugh. I look forward to see what YOU do with this fun fold. Please share photos with me of your creations!

Stampin’ Up! Decorated With Happiness Bundle

It’s mid-week… how’s it going? Our week is going well at this end… getting cooler for sure. I need to bring in a couple of plants!!! My card for today uses the Decorated w/ Happiness bundle which I have not used much. I love this bundle – the pine fronds both stamped & die cut; the ornaments; the stars; the sentiments. It fits as lot of my needs :O)

Stampin' Up! Decorated w/ Happiness Bundle

I started by stamping the pine branch in Evening Evergreen ink – and yes, from Decorated with Happiness stamp set and on a Basic White panel. The filler stamp from this set is done in Soft Succulent ink. Next I die cut some of the ornaments using the Decorated Pine Dies from Gold Foil Sheets and chose this ball ornament – also die cut the ‘string’ with the bow from the same Gold Foil Sheets. I adhered the ‘string’ with dots of liquid glue, then stamped the filler image for the ornament in Cherry Cobbler second generation. I needed to ink & stamp twice cuz it wasn’t quite in the right spot 😳 Next I adhered the Gold Foil ornament over the inking. I stamped the greeting using the same Decorated with Happiness stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink. I added the die cut stars as an afterthought and really liked them. They also come from the Decorated Pine Dies & Gold Foil Sheets. I also stamped the the dots/ asterisk stamp in Soft Succulent ink – just cuz. This Basic White panel was adhered to Cherry Cobbler card stock just a bit larger; dimensionals went on the back and this was adhered to the A2 Soft Succulent card base.

Hint… about die cutting with foil: I designate a separate plate for die-cutting foil papers. They are used less and fewer marks on them. I also choose to use foil that is very close to size to the die. This way, marks are not transferred to the die. I mark my cutting plate so it reminds me! See photo.

For the inside of my card… Basic White card stock and this fun ornament stamped in Evening Evergreen ink at various levels, then the ‘filler’ stamp in Soft Succulent ink, stamped-off first. This was added with liquid glue to the inside of the card base – and done!

Stampin' Up! Decorated w/ Happiness.3

For the envelope… I used the same pine fronds stamp from Decorated With Happiness stamp set and stamped in Evening Evergreen ink – both on the envelope front and the flap. The filler stamp from the same Decorated With Happiness stamp set was inked with Soft Succulent ink and stamped on the pine fronds. I used the dot/ asterisk stamp from the same stamp set and Soft Succulent ink to add more to the envelope front & flap.

Stampin’ Up! Fitting Florets Suite for Christmas +

In yesterday’s post I mentioned a SU! box was arriving with some new products – and I’m here to share that with you and a card I made using the products and one or two others. Here’s the card…

Stampin' Up! Fitting Florets Suite.Christmas.1

Just look at that gorgeous framed oval – love! And the gold foil spray & die cut Evening Evergreen leaves – and don’t forget the Fitting Florets DSP! Oh goodness… I began by coloring the berries of the Fitting Florets DSP with my Light Real Red Stampin’ Blends. They were white and I wanted this to be full of color and – well, that’s what I did. This was mounted on a panel of Soft Succulent card stock and added to the same color card base with dimensionals. I added a strip of Real Red card stock for more color, right across the middle. I then did all these die cuts using the Framed Florets Dies: from Gold Foil Sheets, the spray and a couple of leaves; from Evening Evergreen card stock, more small leaves and this stunning oval frame. Before die cutting the Evening Evergreen frame I added Foam Adhesive Sheets to the back so it would be evenly raised. See photos

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Dies.1
Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Dies.2

I stamped the sentiment from Framed & Festive stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White piece and die cut this with the same oval to create the center portion for the sentiment. Once stamped I adhered this with liquid glue to the center of the frame, then the Evening Evergreen frame to the center of the card. I added most of the die cut pieces with liquid glue to further enhance the frame. Then I tied a bow using the Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent. I then clipped down the middle of each bow & strands to make this fluffy gorgeous bow. This was adhered with glue dots. The final touch was the stunning Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls that are part of the Fitting Florets Suite of products.

Stampin' Up! Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls

For the inside I used one of the dies from the Framed Florets Dies that coordinates with one of the flowers in the Fitting Florets DSP to die cut a flower and added it to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from Framed & Festive stamp set (part of the suite!) in Evening Evergreen ink, adhered the panel to the inside of the card base & done!

For the envelope, I colored another piece of the same Fitting Florets DSP with Light Real Red Stampin’ Blends and added it to the flap, and trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope I stamped the sentiment from Framed & Festive stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.

Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry in Gold & White

Hello again… I couldn’t help it – I played with the Joyful Flurry bundle again. I had an idea about making the Wonderful Snowflakes gold and simply HAD to give it a try. And guess what… it worked. First use the embossing buddy to remove any static. Use the VersaMark ink pad to tap onto the snowflake, sprinkle on gold embossing powder and heat set. I heated from the under side of the snowflake. I did have to do this a couple of times for good coverage.

Stampin' Up! joyful Flurry in Gold & White.1

Next I took a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White and the Frosted Flurry Dies to make a card front. Some of the snowflakes in this die set cut all the way through, some do not, but create wonderful designs with some cut-outs. I chose one of those, well two of those :O) I figured out the placement of the now gold Wonderful Snowflake, removed it and ran the Basic White panel through the cut & emboss machine. I punched up from the back all the little designs, then cut a piece of Brushed Metallic Gold to put behind the cut-out snowflake, adhering it to the back of the Basic White with Tear n Tape. I adhered the gold Wonderful Snowflake with a dimensional in the center. To create the banner from the Joyful Flurry stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and heat set – again from behind. It seems to create a nicer finish when heating the gold from the back side. I then used a banner die from the Frosted Flurry Dies to make the banner. I had die cut the remaining snowflake but it needed to be trimmed around the middle to be free to add. At this point I sprayed the card front with a Stampin’ Spritzer filled with drops of Frost White Shimmer Paint & rubbing alcohol. I added three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front. All this was attached to a Thick Basic White A2 card.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry in Gold & White.3

For the inside I again used a sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set with VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder, heat set from the back. I spritzed the panel with the same Frost White Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol in the Stampin’ Spritzer. It barely shows in the photo but in person, it does!

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry in Gold & white.4

On the envelope, I used the Splatters embossing folder (from Stripes & Splatters) to emboss the flap. For the envelope front, I stamped a snowflake from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Memento ink, then filled in all the openings with Wink of Stella. The camera does not capture this well :O( And the card was done. Elegant.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry in Gold & White.5

What do you think? do you like the Wonderful Snowflake in Gold embossing powder? I definitely do and may try it in silver embossing powder as well :O).

This stamp bundle – Joyful Flurry and the coordinating Frosted Flurry Dies are in the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog – as are the Wonderful Snowflakes. The embossing powder, embellishments and embossing folder all all found in the Annual 2022-2023 Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Textured Chic Specialty Paper for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Happy Thursday! I’ve had such fun this week creating with the Seasons of Chic Bundle and the Textured Chic Specialty Paper. One of the best parts is the set is so versatile: summer with shells, fall with leaves, winter with snowflakes and MORE. It’s a timeless set! So here we are for the Blog Hop…

The them challenge is Designer Series Paper…and I’ve chose the Textured Chic Specialty Paper

And here’s my card for today…

Seasons of Chic. Winter.1

Isn’t it amazing there is so much variety in this DSP (Textured Chic Specialty Paper) and stamp bundle: Seasons of Chic? And what I’ve done here is add snowflakes from two sources: the large one is Wonderful Snowflakes; the other two are dies in the Chic Dies. I’ve die cut them from the paper of the Wonderful Snowflakes because I liked the shine of the paper :O) Pretty cool, right?! In the center of each of the snowflakes is a Pastel Pearl.

Textured Chic Specialty Paper is layered on Basic White card stock, adhered with liquid glue. That has dimensionals and is adhered to the Basic Gray card base. Pretty simple card front. Just the same – beautiful.

Season of Chic. Winter, inside

For the inside, I had a piece of trimmed Textured Chic Specialty Paper on the table and adhered it to the Basic White panel. I simply added this to the inside of the card and loved the simplicity.

For the envelope… more of the same Textured Chic Specialty Paper for the flap, then the front was stamped with snowflakes from the Seasons of Chic stamp set in Basic Gray – two of which were stamped off once.

Seasons of Chic. Winter.3

More info is below about purchasing these items. Still, the hop is a fun way to get some ideas about creating. You may click on a name or use the next button to advance to Amy Koenders. Have fun hopping!

Stampin’ Up! C’mas Banners Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Happy, happy Thursday! We have a fun creative challenge today for the hop and you may have come from Tara or just hopping in here. Either way this is what I’ve created for the hop.

C’mas Banners Bundle. 1

I chose to really ‘stick with’ the sketch challenge today 😏 and had lots of fun doing it. The DSP for the background is Sweetest Christmas 12 x 12 DSP and I edged it with narrow strips of Pool Party. I built on that with lots of die cuts using Decorated Pine Dies for the large pine fronds, then Christmas Banners Dies for the rest of the die cuts. I wanted to use all the colors in the DSP. The sentiment banner is stamped with the Christmas Banners stamp set in Sweet Sorbet then die cut with the same dies. I added it to the card front with dimensionals under the far ends of the banner, then slipped all the other die cuts in under and held in place with liquid glue. The large pine fronds die cut in Garden Green served as the background – as mentioned using the Decorated Pine Dies. The lower pine fronds are from the Christmas Banner Dies. Next layer is the stamped in Pool Party ink leaves (and I did three) and die cut with the Christmas Banner Dies. I used Pear Pizzazz card stock to die cut the single layer of leaves – also from the Christmas Banner Dies. For the berry spray, the branches were die cut from Soft Suede card stock (again 3). The berries are stamped in Real Red ink and die cut with the C’mas Banners Dies then adhered with dabs of liquid glue to the variousSoft Suede branches. Lastly I added Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins: 3 in Garden Green above the banner and 2 in white below the banner.

C’mas Banners Bundle, inside

For the inside of the card… I stamped a leaf bunch from the C’mas Banners stamp set in stamped off Pear Pizzazz ink, then over that with a pine spray from the same stamp set in Garden Green ink. I stamped the Merry in Real Red ink and the Christmas in Sweet Sorbet. Can you tell the difference? I like the contrast! This Basic White panel was adhered to Pool Party card stock then into the Thick Basic White card base ~ and the card was complete.

Christmas Banners Bundle.3

For the envelope, another bit of the same Sweetest Christmas 12 x 12 DSP on the flap and that was it. While this card has several die cuts, it is not heavy and I do not think will need extra postage – and that’s a PLUS!

Now HOP on to the next by clicking the ‘next’ link or by clicking on a name. Enjoy!
