Stampin’ Up! Wild Bunch Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop logo

Hello & happy Tuesday! Welcome to our hop… the theme is a fun fold card so you’ll see lots of creativity today. If this little snail doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will! It’s just plain c-u-t-e! So this is really a Bookmark Side Panel Card. And that bookmark is on the right with the 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon in Hydrangea Hue. It slips in & out of that small embossed ‘sleeve’ (this was as scrap I had from …..) The card base is Hydrangea Hue & the DSP is Painted Patterns 2026-2028 In Color, Hydrangea Hue.

How to make this card…

  • card base is 8 1/4 x 5 1/2
    • with short side at the top at the 1″ mark on the right side of the paper trimmer, cut from 1 to 5 1/4″; repeat on opposite side
    • with long side at top, score in between the cut lines 1, 2, & 5 1/4. Burnish score lines
    • with same long side at top, score @ 4 1/4 on the outside edges of the cut lines.
    • with same long side at top, score @ 6 1/4 the full 5 1/2″ (the bookmark will fit between 6 1/4 & 8 1/4 area)
    • cut & scored, it will look as in the top/down photo below
Stampin' Up! Fun Fold from the top

To decorate with DSP:

  • cut DSP 4 x 5 1/4 & 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 – trim these leaving 3/4″ in shape of squared C – (with short side @ top & line up @ 3/4″ on right side of trimmer, cut from 3/4 to 4 1/2; repeat for the other two sides
  • cut 2 – 3 x 3 1/4 for panel insert on front & back of card
  • cut 1 1/2 x 5 for bookmark
  • 3/4 x 1 3/4 ‘sleeve’ for bookmark (mine is an embossed strip)
  • 2 1/4 x I 6 for envelope flap

Basic White panels:

  • cut 2 – 2 3/4 x 3 for stamping (front) or for your own words (back)
  • 1 1/2 x 5 for bookmark

The above photo is the back of this card.

To decorate the small Basic White panels: stamp the snail in Memento black ink and color with Stampin’ Blends with Crumb Cake. The sentiment is stamped in Hydrangea Hue and comes from the same stamp set as the snail – Wild Bunch – a SU! June POTM (Product of the month). The checkered portion is also in Crumb Cake ink and from the Wild Bunch stamp set. The front of the envelope is stamped the same way, all across the bottom. This is just so friendly and could be masaculine or feminine – and could be for a child also!

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers with Nature Walk DSP

Welcome to February – BRRR. Flowers remind me of spring and warmer weather… This little gem of white die cut has been on my desk fo a bit – and I finally pulled it all together. Fragrant Layers is a beautiful bundle and this piece of the die is perfect for layering. I punched out several of the pieces in this die cut, then taped in the others so they wouldn’t fall out of place. I mounted it on a soft green of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP about 2 5/8 x 3 5/8 and set it aside. My card base is a standard A2 (* 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) in Lost Lagoon. The three strips are 1 x 5. I added the front panel to this with dimensionals. I stamped one of the flowers with Secret Sea ink, die cut it, punched out all the pieces and used a mjini dimensional to attach it to one of the flowers. I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea & die cut it with the banner die in the Fragrant Layers Dies. I added it with dimensionals then the Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Secret Sea.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers card front

On the inside, I used the large floral stamp in Fragrant Layers to stamp just a portion of the flower in the two corners – Secret Sea ink of course, and used Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends to color just the leaves. I layered this on another panel of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 1/4) and the inside was complete!

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers inside card

For the envelope… another piece of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. and finis!

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello Thursday – and welcome to our fabulous blog hop group! We have a sketch challenge today – flowers – and I’m pleased to share what I created for this hop. It uses the Fragrant Layers bundle that is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE, meaning not pictured in any of the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers card front

This card is just so bright & fresh looking to me. And I love all the texture. So… how to make this

  • The card base is Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & scored at 4 1/4
  • Using the second largest of the Perennial Postage dies, die cut a Basic White piece & stamp it with the large floral in Fragrant Layers stamp set with Memento Black ink.
  • Using the coordinating stamps in the Fragrant Layers stamp set, add color to the leaves: Old Olive, and color to the flowers: Calypso Coral.
  • Die cut more of the tiny flowers from Basic White, color the centers with Darling Duckling and add to the large flowers with liquid glue.
  • Add this panel to Lovely & Beautiful SDSP ( 3 5/8 x 4 7/8) that was attached to a Calypso panel 3 3/4 x 5. Put dimensionals on the back & add to the card front.
  • On a Basic Black strip, run the embossing buddy across the paper to remove any static and stamp the sentiment in VersaMark ink, sprinkle it with WOW! White Embossing powder & heat set.
  • Die cut this piece with the die in the Fragrant Layers dies, put dimensionals on the back and add to the card front.
  • Add embellishments to the flowers & on the card (5 in all) Iridescent Floral Gems
  • Add a bow with the white twine pulled apart and attach with a glue dot.
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers inside card

For the inside…

  • Add a 1/2 x 4″ strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP to the bottom of the card
  • Stamp the flower in Memento ink (from Fragrant Flowers stamp set) & color with Calypso Coral ink
  • Stamp the leaf in Old Olive ink
  • I then put the Basic White panel on my scoring board and scored twice on the left – for more texture.
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers card & envelope

I used the same leaf stamp as on the inside of the card to stamp several leaves across the bottom of the envelope in Old Olive ink. I then added another strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP to the flap & finis! I love the freshness of the completed card.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Wow – tomorrow is THE DAY – the Fourth of July – what are you doing special? Picnic? Fireworks? Friends? Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today that offers so man y possibilities Let’s have a look….

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Krew Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery card front

What do you think – does this work for the sketch? I used a few items in the Gallery Suite of products.. the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP (the reverse side!) the Damask Designs embossing Folder, the Gallery Blooms Bundle (die cuts), and the Beautiful Motifs stamp set for the sentiment. In lieu of the embellishments in the suite, I used the Adhesive-Backed Birds & Dragonflies. Here’s how I created this…

  • Basic Gray card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
  • Basic Gray layer 5 x 3 3/4, embossed with Damask Designs embossing folder. Adhere directly to card base
  • Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP 3 x 4 1/4, backed with card stock for strength (to be added to card front with dimensionals once decorated)
  • Die cuts: created using the Gallery Blooms Dies… Mossy Meadow for the background leaves; Basic White colored with Blending Brushes using Peach Pie and Mossy Meadow then die cut for the middle flowers & a bit of Pecan Pie on the edges of the flowers after die cutting; die cut the front leaves from Basic White then use a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink to color lightly. These were layered as shown with liquid glue.
  • The sentiment is stamped in Secret Sea ink using the Beautiful Motifs stamp set, then the Basic White strip ‘bannered’ on the ends with paper snips. It was added with dimensionals.
    • I wrapped the one end with Basic Twine Essentials in gray, three times around and secured in back with Tear n Tape, creating a pattern of lines.
    • Final touch – two of the dragonflies from the Adhesive-Backed Birds & Dragonflies.
    • Attach this completed panel with dimensionals, centering.
Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms card inside

For the inside… I stamped & die cut this wonderful image in Secret Sea ink and was originally going to use it on the front, then decided not to use it. When it came time to do the inside, I decided to0add the die cut (Gallery Blooms Dies) to the 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. And done!

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery card & envelope

For the envelope… I took the remaining piece of this DSP and added it to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. To me, this seems like a perfect masculine card – could be used for thinking of you after an illness or sympathy, a thank you – just about anything!

Stampin’ Up! Diagonal DSP Just a Note

Good morning Friends… NJ has had a couple of days respite from the heat – a drop of 30 degrees to the 70’s! These are welcome temperatures! Today’s card is made with the new In Colors Secret Sea and Cloud Cover – and could be duplicated using all the new In Colors.

Stampin' Up! 2025-2027 DSP Diagonal card front

I began with the 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP cut 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 and cut it on the diagonal, then turned the pieces 90 degrees holding them together, to cut on the other diagonal. (NOTE: This works with DSP that has a reverse side that is coordinating in color/ pattern, not conflicting. So choose carefully 😀) After cutting the DSP, decide which sections should be primary showing the pattern desired. Here I chose the left and right panels to be dominant and simply turned the other two panels to the reverse side. These were adhered to Basic White cut 4 x 5 1/4, dimensionals added to the back and attached to a Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. On the front I added a length of 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon with Stampin’ Seal. Using the Mixed Labels Dies, I cut two labels, the larger in Secret Sea, the smaller in Basic White. I stamped the sentiment using the Mixed Labels stamp set in Secret Sea ink. I layered the two together with adhesive, popped dimensionals across the back on top & bottom and adhered it over the ribbon. The final touch was adding several 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Cloud Cover.

Stampin' Up! DSP Diagonal card inside

For the inside… simple… a 1/2 x 4 strip of the same 25-27 In Color DSP as used on the card front, and attached to the side of a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel

Stampin' Up! DSP Diagonal card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the 25-27 In Color DSP on the flap trimmed to fit. On the front, using Cloud Cover ink and an image in the Mixed Labels stamp set, I stamped twice on the lower left corner. This gives a completed look and could even be used as a masculine card, despite the flowers.

See below for ways to purchase the products to make this card.

Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes & You Are Remarkable for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It is Thursday and you know what that means… the fun of this remarkable group hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I have chosen to work with some online exclusive products and a DSP from the ending soon Sale-a-bration catalog – Bloom Impressions.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch Challenge
Stampin' Up! Textured Notes & You Are Remarkable Card Front

The daisy flower is from the You Are Remarkable stamp set, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE set and just lovely. I’m partial to daisies, so this was a definite must have! I also like the fonts in this set… I kept the image large so you can see the detail of the dies in this Textured Notes bundle – also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. Each rectangular die has a different pattern for the die cut. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Textured Notes, and I like the delicate font without it being too ‘fussy’ or feminine. The ribbon is a freebie as part of Sale-a-bration with a $60 purchase (which ends at end of day Feb 28, 2025 – tomorrow!!!) The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack in Fresh Freesia.

Back to the stamped daisy image… I stamped it in VersaMark ink on this piece of Bloom Impressions 12×12 DSP – another free item during Sale-a-bration with a $60 purchase – sprinkled it with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it. I colored the daisy with Whisper White ink reinker using a water painter brush with water inside. I put a drop of reinker on an acylic block, got the water-painter brush tip wet and added the Whisper White lightly to the daisy portion of the image. This is a pigment ink and takes a bit of time to dry. I used the lightest setting on the heat tool to dry it. I die cut the rectangle using the 2nd to largest die, adhered this to a Basic White slightly larger, added the ribbon around both pieces (Seam Binding Ribbon in Fresh Freesia, a freebie with a $60 purchase until end of day Feb. 28) attached dimensionals on the back & set aside. I used the largest die in the Textured Notes Dies to cut another piece of the same design of DSP – Bloom Impressions and adhered it directly to the Thick Basic White card base. I added the original daisy pieces to the card front (remember they are on dimensionals.) I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink on a Basic White scrap using the Textured Notes stamp set, then die cut it with the smallest of the Textured Notes rectangle dies, added dimensionals and attached over the ribbon on the card front. As I mentioned earlier the embellishments are Tinsel Gems 3 Pack in Fresh Freesia.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes & You Are Remarkable card inside

For the inside… I had a ‘frame’ left over from the smallest rectangular die cut for this card and added dots of liquid glue to the back and attached it, centering, to the inside of the card. I then stamped this sentiment using Blackberry Bliss ink and a sentiment from You Are Remarkable stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes & You Are Remarkable card & envelope

The envelope… More of the same Bloom Impressions DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front, I stamped the ‘filler’ image of the daisy in Blackberry Bliss ink, then the center in Lemon Lolly ink. And done, ready to send. :O)

What would I do differently on this card? I would use White embossing powder in lieu of clear – so the entire daisy, leaves & all would be more dominant. Otherwise, I really like this card and hope you do as well. To order the items to create this card, see info below the ‘hop names’.

Stampin’ Up! Four Panel Card & Mixed Labels Bundle

Hello, hello. My card begins with Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I added a layer directly to this with Daffodil Delight, 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I set this aside to create the four panels using Fruit Salad 6×6 DSP, a free item during Sale-a-bration (only three days left!).

Fruit Salad DSP, Four Panel card

What I particularly like about this is the way it looks as though the sun was shining with rays extending. The panel is first cut 3 1/2 x 4 then trimmed to four panels of 1 x 3 1/2 strips. They were layered on Basic White each cut 1 1/8 x 3 5/8. Dimensionals were added to the backs and attached to the card. I used a scrap of Daffodil Delight to die cut the background for the sentiment using the Mixed Labels Dies. I used the Mixed Labels stamp set for the sentiment , Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White and another of the Mixed Labels Dies to die cut it, then attached with dimensionals. The very fun die cut beneath is also from the Mixed Labels Dies and adhered directly beneath and to the card front. The final touch are three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. This is a perfect use of DSP – and a masculine card too – at least in my opinion. Of course that depends on the DSP used.

For the envelope, I added more DSP to the flap & trimmed it to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Radiating Stitches Dies with Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP and More

I made this card a bit ago and forgot to post it… do you know how this happens? At any rate… a friend asked for a card (or two) to be used as a sympathy card. I also needed a card of congratulations for a man and since I was on a roll – why not do both with the same dies just different Designer Series Paper? I’m pleased with how they both turned out – hope you like as well.

Stampin' Up! Radiating Stitches Dies with Fancy Flora DSP

I used a piece of the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP and layered the dies next to one another ran it through the die cutting machine. This created three die pieces to use. With the largest panel, I added dimensionals to the back and attached it to a Soft Succulent card base. The center piece is also on dimensionals and centered in the opening. I used Evening Evergreen ink to stamp on a Basic White strip then die cut with a banner die from the Sending Smiles Stamp set. This was attached with liquid glue directly to the center panel with dimensionals on the ends. For an additional touch three Loose Frosted Dots were attached with tiny dabs of liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Radiating Stitches Dies, inside card

For the inside I added the remaining die cut piece to a panel of Basic White, also run through the Radiating Stitches Dies. It created a wonderful outline! Can you see the heart? That is also from the Radiating stitches Dies set – and die cut from a scrap of Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora 6x6 DSP with Radiating Dies

For the envelope I added more Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. I stamped the front of the envelope with stamps from the Sending Smiles Stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.

Here’s the congratulations card…

Stampin’ Up! Designer Tags Dies – as Tags!

Good Monday morning ~ new day, new week, new start to something wonderful. Todays project uses the Designer Tags Dies as what else – tags… (Yesterday I made a card from them so that’s why I’m saying that ) :😁 I only made two tags, but the possibilities are endless. Let your imagination go wild!

Stampin' Up! Designer Tags Dies

The red background tag uses the Sweetest Christmas DSP as the background with one of the dies. On top of that is another die cut and I chose to leave all the pieces in it and adhered it directly to the tag base. The next layer is loose but attached with the crochet thread. I figure to put to whom the present goes on this sweet portion.

The other tag is super simple… Basic White card stock again and with the Rose Gold die cut butterfly from the Designer Tags Dies. Isn’t this butterfly the sweetest? I added two Glassy Dots Assortments in Gorgeous Grape to the butterfly. The sentiment at the bottom is from Go To Greetings stamp set. The attached ribbon is Metallic Woven Ribbon in Orchid Oasis.

Stampin’ Up! Detailed Tags Dies in a card

It’s Sunday – and we had a full moon a couple of night ago – our daughter’s cats were carrying on at their house. We have a dog and it didn’t seem to bother him at all, thank goodness. So why do I mention this – not sure… perhaps it was remembering the many deer in our front yard last night and wondering if one had anything to do with the other. I don’t know.

Today’s card is made with the Detailed Tags Dies in the 2022-2023 Annual catalog – such a pretty set. I want to share a card that I made with this.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Tags Dies.1

Aren’t the colors pretty? Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis, with a bit of Rose Gold Specialty DSP. It’s obvious where I used the Rose Gold SDSP – the rose, and I removed some of the die cut pieces AND I fussy-cut around the outside. The butterfly I created by marking Basic White with Stampin’ Blends: Light Starry Sky and Light Daffodil Delight and die cut the image. It has two Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party on the butterfly.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Tags Dies.2

The centerpiece is the largest die in the Detailed Tags Die set and is die cut from from 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP – Tahitian Tide. I die cut another from Tahitian Tide card stock and adhered them together for strength before slipping a length of Natural Finish 7/8″ Ribbon through the openings. Once the rose and butterfly were attached with liquid glue I put dimensionals on the back and set it aside.

To the Thick Basic White card base I adhered a panel of Tahitian Tide (3 3/4 x 5). I then ran a slightly smaller Orchid Oasis panel through the Pretty Flowers embossing folder and added it to the Tahitian Tide. The dimensionals were already on the Detailed Tags Dies piece, so it was attached off-set as shown.

Stampin' Up! Detailed Tags Dies.3

For the inside I die cut a ‘spray’ with the Detailed Tags Dies in Rose Gold SDSP and added it to a piece of Basic White card stock. With that in place I stamped the sentiment: Go To Greetings stamp set in Orchid Oasis. This panel was added to a Tahitian Tide and into the inside of the card – done!

Stampin' Up! Detailed Tags Dies.4

The envelope was easy enough… more 2022-2024 In color 6×6 DSP for the envelope flap and another sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Orchid Oasis on the front. I like the contrast of the bright colors with white – it really makes it stand out.
