Stampin” Up! Celebrate Spring for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

We have a fun challenge today for our blog hop group… Celebrate Spring! What does that mean to you? For me it means early bulbs are popping through the remaining grass & leaves – we have sweet, sweet snowdrops coming up! What else does it mean – new birth? Baby Chicks? Baby rabbits? And searching through the woods for morel mushrooms – I did this with my Mom. They were oh so good. Spring is – it’s coming just around the corner.

Stampin' Up! Cute As A Bug card front

This Designer Series Paper, Cute As A Bug, is just so sweet – bugs & mushrooms and perfect for spring. I couldn’t resist working with it. So I trimmed it into these rectangles and it makes a nice scene. I used the coordinating stamp & die set (the Sweet Bugs Bundle) to die cut the flowers and the small mushroom group. just above the sentiment.

The card base is Soft Sea Foam and I layered another panel of the same color to the card front after embossing it with the Birchwood 3D embossing folder (OOPS! This item is retired!). The layers under the DSP are both Two-Tone: Soft Sea Foam & Old Olive. The ink used for the sentiment is Old Olive ink. The flowers & the mushroom were added with dimensionals. And the sweet ladybug is from the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes.

  • The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.
  • The embossed layer is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 added directly to the card front.
  • Cut the DSP 2 3/4 x 4, then trim to 1 3/4 x 1 1/2, leaving a strip 1 3/4 x 2 1/2; 1 x 2 1/2, leaving a strip 1 x 1 1/2.
  • Add these to a layer 3 x 4 1/4 as shown, keeping the images intact, and another 3 1/8 x 4 3/8. Put dimensionals on the back and add to card front
  • Add die cuts & sentiment – all from Cute As A Bug bundle
Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs card inside

For the inside… I stamped the word ‘friend’ from the Sweet As A Bug stamp set, taping off the Hello and inking with Old Olive ink. Across the bottom are these adorable flowers, also stamped in Old Olive ink, repeatedly across. I used Daffodil Delight Marker to create the center color then used Wink of Stella to pull that color into the flower petals. This Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card and voila! Ready to send to someone to cheer them.

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Whispers Feel Better Card

Good Tuesday! It’s March 3 and do you know what that means… new ONLINE EXCLUSIVES AVAILABLE! This bundle & papers are simply stunning and perfect for either masculine or feminine cards.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes Feel Better Card front

I began with a Crumb Cake card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I used two dies from the Delicate Whispers Dies to die cut these two images. I added a strip of the Delicate Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Wood Grain Wonders, wrapped Linen Thread around the two papers, twice, & tied a bow. I attached these to the card front. On a scrap of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, sprinkled Wow! Metallic Embossing Powder in Copper & heat set. Once this was cool, I attached it to a piece of Wood Grain Wonders DSP cut with Perennial Postage Dies and attached it with dimensionals over the Linen Thread. I then added the two die cuts under the bow & secured with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes feel better card inside

For the inside, an additional styrip of the Delicate Designs SDSP was added to the edge of the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel and attached to the inside of the card. I’ve stamped no inside sentiment as this card is being signed by lots of folks to let them know we’re thinking of them. I love this card and I think the person receiving it will also!

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Delicate Designs SDSP was attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front another image from Delicate Wishes stamp set stamped in Crumb Cake ink to bring everything together.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers & Timeless Plaid Birthday Card

Good Saturday morning! We’re due for some warmer weather today – hoping some of the snow melts so we can get to our mailbox! I don’t remember if I mentioned our mailbox was plowed in and the snow packed down so tightly it became solid, solid. Our snow blowing neighbors couldn’t remove any of it! For now our mail is being delivered to our neighbors for a bit. Spring awaits… 🌺

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers & Timeless Plaid 6x6 birthday card front

The Fragrant Layers bundle is perfectly sweet and has so many possibilities. I had this on my desk & hadn’t completed it, & decided to do just that. I colored the flowers with Stampin’ Blends, Light Peach Pie then both Light & Dark Timid Tiger & Bronze for the center. I also added Wink of Stella to the center. The leaves got a light touch of stamped Old Olive ink. I added this to a Mossy Meadow layer then wrapped Old Olive Linen Thread around twice and tied a bow, securing with a glue dot. The card base is Mossy Meadow A2 size and layered with Timeless Plaid 6×6. I added the floral scene to the card front, with dimensionals, off-setting it to the left. My sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink & die cut with a banner die in this Fragrant Layers Dies. I added it next to the bow with dimensionals, then doubled up the dimensionals on the right end of the sentiment. Final touch… Natural Matte Dots available March 3 as part of our ONLINE EXCLUSIVES 😀.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers b'day card inside

For the inside… I had this sweet flower already die cut & waiting for use… stamped in Memento ink & die cut with the Fragrant Layers Dies – added it to the Basic White panel. The little leaves were also waiting and come from this same Fragrant Layers bundle. This will make a perfect card – for a birthday or a simple hello – refreshing.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers & Timeless Plaid card & envelope.

The envelope… more of the same Timeless Plaid 6×6 adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. And a sweet flower on the front colored the same as the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Pop-Up Book Fun Fold with Brushed With Beauty DSP

Brushed With Beauty is one of my all-time favorites. I just love the colors and the vibrancy and the nature images. I came across this fun fold the other day on Pinterest and just had to give it a ‘go’ using this paper. It coordinates with Petals of Beauty bundle & Words of Beauty bundle, as an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE back in November. I’m surprised the other but the same I have any remaining paper! I’m sharing two cards today using different patterns in this paper pack – each so different from the other but the very same fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Book Fun Fold card 1 & envelope.
Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Book Fun Fold, inside card 1

Card one is made with Darling Duckling for the card base and a layer of Early Espresso behind the DSP on the card front. I stamped and die cut leaf images using the Petals of Beauty bundle. The sentiment is from Words of Beauty stamp set & die cut using a Die from the coordinating bundle. The embellishments are Opal Rounds from the Mediterranean Blooms suite of products. On the inside, I again stamped in stamped off Early Espresso ink for the leaf image and full strength for the sentiment (Words of Beauty stamp set). I layered these Basic White ‘book pages’ with Early Espresso card stock.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Book Fun Fold
Stampin' Up! Pop-Up book fun fold, inside card 2

For card 2 – remember it’s still the same Brushed With Beauty DSP pack. The card base here is Petal Pink and the DSP is layered on Mossy Meadow. The flower is die cut using the Petals of Beauty Dies: I stamped the flower in Petal Pink ink directly on the DSP & die cut the that, then die cut the white separately. The words are from Words of Beauty and die cut with the Dies: mossy Meadow for the shadow and Brushed with Beauty for the words themselves. For embellishments I used Low Profile Dots from Mixed Media Florals suite of products. On the inside, the words are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink using the Words of Beauty stamp set and the flower in Petal Pink ink with the Petals of Beauty stamp set and more Low Profile Dots.

Instructions how to make this card:

  • card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
  • DSP is 5 1/4 x 8 1/4:
    • with long side at top, score at 4 1/8, burnish gently
      • with short side at top, & DSP at 1″ mark, cut between 1″ & 7 1/4″, repeat for other side
        • with long side at top again, line up at 1″ & score between the long cuts at 1″ & 1 1/2″: repeat for other side. With long side still at top, score at 2″ in the upper & lower 1″ sections. Repeat for other side. Burnish all score lines gently… valley (1″), mountain (1 1/2″), valley (2″), mountain (for 1″ section; valley for center section), valley (other 2″ score), mountain (other 1 1/2 score), valley (final 1″ score.) It should look like photo below
  • With card base flat, adhere one ‘end’ on the DSP (between the 2″ and 1″ score lines): repeat for other end.
  • Close card so all score lines fold as required – see photo below
Stampin' Up! Pop-Up book fun fold, closed

Now decorate:

  • Card front layers: card stock is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8; DSP layer is 3 3/4 x 5 & added to card front with dimensionals
  • Card inside layers: card stock is 2 1/2 x 3 1/8; Basic White is 2 3/8 x 3. ( I used a card stock layer only on the Darling Duckling card)

Envelopes…

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Book Fun Fold card & envelope, card 1
Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Book Fun Fold card & envelope, card 2

Card 1 – Brushed with Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6 in Darling Duckling pattern, attached to flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, the small leaf image is stamped off once Early Espresso ink.

Card 2 – Brushed with Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6 in floral pattern, attached to flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, the flower is first stamped full strength in Petal Pink ink with the outline flower stamp, then stamped with the full flower in stamped off Petal Pink ink.

Stasmpin' Up! Paradise Garden & Vellum

I’ve used Vellum again and the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing folder for the card front, The Vellum is 5 1/4 x 8 1/4 scored at 4 1/8 and only the front is embossed. This bundle (Paradise Garden Bundle) will be available Mar 3 as part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden stamp set
Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Dies

One of the dies is this curvy piece that I’ve used for my large panel, cut from Lemon Lolly card stock. The leaf is stamped & die cut with parts of the Paradise Garden set.I used Soft Sea Foam ink on a Soft Sea Foam card stock. I used Iridescent Pearls in two sizes as embellishments, also the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack from the Annual Catalog – in Lemon Lolly of course to create the double bow.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden inside.1
Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden inside.2

On the inside of the front Vellum embossed panel is another of the strips die cut from Lemon Lolly and attached. It doesn’t exactly match, due to the curves, but I like the way it looks & it covers the adhesive. Facing on the inside… and in the same area as the Lemon Lolly panel facing it, is stamped a leaf image in Soft Sea Foam using the Paradise Garden stamp set. The sentiment is stamped in Daffodil Delight and uses Paradise Garden stamp set. I used a template from the curvy die cut to know exactly where to stamp 😁 This Basic White panel is added to the the Vellum, then the Vellum is attached to a Daffodil Delight piece 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden back of card

For the back of the card … another panel of Basic White stamped with the sentiment in Daffodil Delight using the Paradise Garden stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden card & envelope

For the envelope I sued another leaf from the Paradise Garden stamp set & Soft Sea Foam ink to stamp both the front of the card & the flap.

Stampin’ Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold with Scalloped Wishes Bundle

Good morning stampin’ friends. It was an amazing snow day yesterday, here in the Northeast. I’m guessing we got about 28″ and today is 20 degrees so that snow is frozen solid. It’s supposed to be sunny today so some will melt. 😀

I have a very fun pop up slider card today, which I haven’t done before. I was playing with a new bundle that’s a March Online Exclusive – available March 3 to customers. It’s so sweet. And Vellum seems to be popular these days, so I’ve used some of that too.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold w/ Scalloped Wishes, card front

The card base is a standard 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I cut a piece of Country Wood 12×12 DSP 4 x 5 1/4 and added it to the card front. I embossed a Vellum panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 using the Damask Designs embossing folder. I pulled out Crumb Cake card stock and stamped a lacy border image in Crumb Cake ink then die cut it and a Basic White lacy die that fits this banner. I stamped the sentiment using the Prayers & Promises stamp set (from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog) in Misty Moonlight ink, then added the lacy die cut to the Crumb Cake with dabs of liquid glue. I attached this to the Vellum panel, then adhered the Vellum to the card front, adding glue only behind the banner. The reason is, the glue can b e seen through the Vellum if it’s added where there is no paper on the front. To complete the card front, I added three Pearls of Beauty in White.

For the inside… Cut two more panels of Country Woods 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 1/4) and add to the inside of the card. For the mechanism cut two pieces of Basic White: 2 x 5 1/4 scored on each end at 1/2″; 1 1/2 x 9 3/4 scored at 3/4, 5 1/4, 7, 7 1/2 & 9 1/4. Burnish all score lines. Add a piece of Country Woods DSP to the smaller Basic White piece (1 3/4 x 4) – set this aside to work on the ‘slider’. This long piece… the 3/4 score should be folder under while the rest of the score lines are burnished to come back up & over itself. Attach the 3/4 scored end to the right edge of the left inside panel centering it top to bottom – see photo.

Stampin' Up! Popp Up Slider Fun Fold.1

Add glue to those folded back ends of the decorated 2 x 5 1/4 piece & attach to the right inside of the card,over the mechanism and approximately 1/4″ from the next score line of the slider mechanism. You are attaching this to the card base, over the mechanism -see photo.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold.2

Final step of the mechanism… adhere the last scored portion of the long strip to the left edge of the decorated 2 x 5 1/4 panel. See photo.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold.3

Close the card to make the mechanism work properly and allow glue to set. Now, add adhesive to that thin part standing up & add the decorated element.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold.4

In the above photo, I stamped the image of this gorgeous flower using the Simply Beautiful stamp set & Memento ink on a Basic White piece. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Petal Pink and Light Timid Tiger. I die cut the flower & attached it with liquid glue to that thin standing up piece of the mechanism. I die cut the stamen of the flower from Country Woods DSP, added Wink of Stella to it & attached it to the center of the flower. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink with a sentiment from Simply Beautiful stamp set. I fussy cut the sentiment and attached it with mini dimensionals to the flower.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider card.5

Final touches… I die cut these stunning dragonflies from Country Woods DSP and attached them to two places on the card. I embellished them with Pearls of Beauty in white – same as used on the card front. Open & close this card several times and the slider works perfectly! I am so excited about this new fun fold and can’t wait to try it with some other bundles in my stash… stay tuned!

Stampin’ Up! Bookfold Fun Fold with Cute As A Button Suite

Yesterday I created an interlocking z-fold with this suite. Today, it’s a bookfold using one of the pages of images that has scenes in 3 x 4 or 4 x 6 size. Let’s check it out.

Stampin' Up! Book fold w/ Sweet Bugs, card front

I’m calling this panel, lilies of the valley – and it’s sweet. I die cut another of the flowers from another panel of the Cute As A Bug DSP, along with the other images on this card & envelope. You get lots of images that can be die cut straight from the DSP – I did several different ones – because I could!

It begins with a standard card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 4 1/4 & 5 1/2. Burnish those score lines mountain, valley. Add adhesive between those score lines and close card base, pressing well. Add layers of Mossy Meadow cut 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 , 4 1/8 x 4 1/8 (cut 2, one for the inside). Add DSP panels to the front: 1 x 4 & 4 x 4. When I cut these front panels I wanted the scene to ‘flow’ across the front. (If you so desired, that 1 x 4 panel could be a contrast panel.) I added the die cut lily of the valley with dimensionals then the two ladybugs, also on dimensionals. I used the smallest of the Everyday Arches dies to cut my sentiment piece… stamped in Mossy Meadow ink using a sentiment from Sweet Bugs and attached with dimensionals. I added a single Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shape to the 1″ panel and Wink of Stella to all the gray areas of the lilies.

Stampin' Up! Book fold w/  Bugs, card inside

On the 4×4 Basic White piece for the inside, I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Sweet Bugs stamp set, then added the bee, watering can small flower with grass – all die cuts using Sweet Bug Dies and Cute As A Bug DSP.

Stampin' Up! Book fold w/ Sweet bugs, card & envelope

For the envelope… sweet sweet daisy like DSP cut for the flap – yep – Cute As A Bug DSP, and a beetle ready for a picnic die cut from the Cute As A Bug DSP using the Sweet Bugs Dies. Loving this bundle & suite of products.

Stampin' Up! Pocket Card w/ Pop-Up Petals

The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Old Olive layered with Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP 4 x 5 1/4. I took another panel of Old Olive 1 3/4 x 4 and attached it on three sides to the card base – leaving the upper area open, as in an pocket. 😀 I stamped a sentiment from Pop-Up Petals stamp set in Misty Moonlight and die cut it with a Textured Notes Die and attached it to that lower panel with dimensionals. For the cute card for the pocket, I cut Basic Beige 6 x 4 1/4 & scored it at 3 (on the long side). I stamped the vase & flowers from Pop-Up Petals stamp set in Misty Moonlight. I colored the leaves with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends, the flowers with Timid Tiger & Crumb Cake using the stamps in the Pop-Up Petals stamp set – so easy! I then die cut both the vase & the flowers with the coordinating Pop-Up Petals Dies. I stamped a sentiment on a Basic White scrap with another sentiment in Pop-Up Petals stamp set and attached it at the bottom of the Basic Beige card front. I attached the vase with dimensionals, then the flowers, slipping the stems into the top of the vase and dimensionals behind the flowers. I added three metallic Adhesive-Backed Butterflies, then a bow tied with Bakers Twine Essentials Pack and Natural Tones Linen Thread in dark blue – a very sweet card front.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Petals pocket card inside

For the inside of this pocket insert… a Basic White panel 2 3/4 x 4 stamped with Misty Misty Moonlight ink – both the butterfly & the flowers are from Pop-Up Petals stamp set. Again, the same coloring as the card front: Timid Tiger & Crumb Cake inks & Stampin’ Blends Old Olive for the leaves. Now fold this in half and insirt into the pocket in the card base front – yay!

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Petals card & envelope

For the envelope…n the flower bundle stamped on the card front, first full strength, then a couple more times without re-inking. This makes it look as though it is a large bouquet!! On the flap, another piece of the Timeless Plaid adhered & trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Double Flap Fun Fold with Petals of Beauty

Today is card class and we are making a fun & easy double flap card. I’m always watching card videos and this idea came from those many views. I’m using one of my favorite floral bundles to make this card – Petals of Beauty, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE bundle released in November.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card front, fun fold

Are those stamped & die cut florals gorgeous or what! And, stamped in Bubble Bath ink is just so soft and delicate, and that overlay in Basic White just adds to the charm. The card base is Strawberry Slush 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I then trimmed 1″ from each side of the card front, (cutting it to the score line) & removing those pieces. This allows us to see the beauty of the DSP underneath – Mixed Up Patterns, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE item. Before adding DSP panels we need that extra flap that folds over (this holds the flower die cuts & sentiment). This panel can really be any width, but because of the large flowers this panel is 2 1/4 x 6, then scored at one end at 4 1/4. This will be attached to the card base, centering it so the scorer line is at the right edge of the card base.Now add a panel of DSP 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Here I used a Strawberry Slush pattern from this delicious Mixed Up Patterns paper. Now we decorate!

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty fun fold, one flap over

Cut a piece of coordinating DSP (here I chose a Bubble Bath pattern from Mixed Up Patterns 12×12 pack) 2 1/4 x 5 1/2. I embossed this panel prior to adhering it, using the Kintsugi Embossing folder, then attached it to that upper flap. For the side flap I cut a panel of Bubble Bath 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 and stamped it using the Petals of Beauty stamp set and stamped the leaves.. I wrapped this with a 1/2″ Basic White Woven Ribbon from the Everyday Skies suite collection, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I love this ribbon! It ties bows so beautifully. Once that ribbon was in place around the Bubble Bath stamped panel, I adhered it to that other front flap. I stamped the flowers from Petals of Beauty in Bubble Bath ink on Basic White. This is a two-step stamp: the outline stamp and the filler stamp (that’s what I call it anyway). The outline stamp is full strength Bubble Bath; the filler stamp is stamped off once Bubble Bath. I die cut these from the Petal of Beauty Dies, then die cut the ‘overlay’ from Basic White – two large flowers and one smaller one. I stamped my sentiment in Bubble Bath ink and cut it apart, putting both portions on dimensionals and added them to this ribboned panel. Then I placed my flowers, putting dimensionals on those as well. Final touch… Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems, another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty fun fold, inside card

The inside panel is 2 x 5 1/4 stamped in Bubble Bath ink. The sentiment if from Words of Beauty, a coordinating stamp set in the Suite Collection. The leaves at the bottom are the same as on the front flap: stamped in Bubble Bath ink.

Completed card once more…

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!

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