Stampin’ Up! Peace on Earth Bundle with Winter Meadow DSP, a Fun Fold

Posted on by

Hello Tuesday! What does this day have in store for you? For me, it’s the start of new programs and it gets busy. In the Stampin’ Up! world, there is always something new coming out, keeping the creating environment challenging and interesting. The card I have for you today is a fun fold and so super easy. It also uses the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP which is a carry-over from last year. It’s beautiful. I paired it with a new bundle from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog called Peace on Earth.

Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth w/ Winter Meadow DSP card front

The card base is Blueberry Bushel – not a color I use very often, but it looks awesome with this DSP. The card is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1 1/4 & 4 1/4. The first score folds back in a mountain fold, while the 4 14 is a valley fold.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth Fun Fold

Each DSP is adhered to a Basic White piece before attaching it to the card base. The decorative pieces on the very front use the Peace on Earth Dies to die cut the banners, the dove, the glimmery stars and the Garden Green leaves. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. I used a sponge dauber & Whisper White to add some white to various leaves. The stars were die cut from Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. The stamped Basic White banner was added to the Blueberry Bushel banner with dimensionals. The other items were attached with dabs of liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth Bundle w/ Winter Meadow DSP card inside

For the inside, more DSP adhered to Basic White then to the card base. On the right side, the Basic White panel was attached then the sentiment – so it would be ‘hidden’ by the front banner. About the sentiment – a die cut from Basic White using the Christmas Words Collage dies & embossing folder. Once cut, I used the Misty Moonlight ink pad to wipe over the sentiment. It’s a bit darker than I wanted but I still like it. The blue glimmery stars are die cut with the same Peace on Earth dies and again use one of the glimmer papers in the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper pack.

For the envelope, another piece of the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front… a tree from the Frosted Forest stamp set (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) in stamped off Misty Moonlight. Card cuts are listed below.

Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Fall Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
13

Welcome to Thursday and the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Our theme today is an autumn card and I’ve chosen to make an avid card using the Amber Autumn Bundle and other products in the Autumn Toile Suite of products on pages 39-43 in the September – December 2025 Mini Catalog. If you look at page 42, you will see a similar card , I’ve just added a few items to make it a bit more wow!

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn card front

Then card base is Basic Beige with an added layer of Early espresso & a slightly smaller layer of Amber Toile DSP. I created two strips (banners really) using the back side of the larger DSP panel. I trimmed the ends using the new & fabulous Party Banner Dies. With the largest of the circles in the Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut a circle from Gathering Together Specialty DSP. I turned this saame paper to the other side and die cut several leaves with the Amber Autumn Dies. With this die, then ‘vein’ of the leaves pops out. I mixed up those ‘veins’ and put them in other die cut leaves. The only one I left with it’s original center is the leaf die cut from the same side of the DSP as the circle. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink with an Amber Autumn sentiment, then popped the circle on the card front with dimensionals. I added the die cut leaves with liquid glue except for one – that’s on mini dimensionals. I tied a double bow with the coordinating Early Espresso Thread and attached it with a glue dot. Final touch… two Streaked Dots from the suite of products

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn card inside

For the inside… I stamped the acorn & leaf image with Basic Beige ink. It comes from the Amber Autumn stamp set and it’s a favorite image! I then stamped the sentiment, also from the Amber Autumn stamp set in early Espresso ink. This Basic White panel was added to an Early espresso piece then attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Gathering Together Specialty DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, I die cut another leaf using the Amber Autumn Dies and Gathering Together Specialtyb DSP and attached it with glue to the front. This card is being sent to a special person who has a September birthday 😀. I really like this card.

Want to make this card? See the photos below & shop with me. Card cuts are listed below as well. For every order of $50 & above from today Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial (for September it’s the Amber Autumn bundle!), but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers.

Stampin’ Up! Gift of Joy & Peaceful Garden Christmas Card

Posted on by
4

Good Wednesday – BIG DAY TODAY! Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog LAUNCH and SEPTEMBER ONLINE EXCLUSIVE RELEASES. I’m sharing a card today that uses products from the Mini Catalog , mixing products. The stamped images come from the Gift of Joy stamp set onnpage 55. The embossed panel is done on Designer Series Paper from the Peaceful Garden Suite of products on pages 32-25. The embellishments are from that suite as well.

Stampin' Up! Gift of Joy & Peaceful Garden card front

I began by stamping the various images from the Gift of Joy stamp set in Secret Sea ink. I filled in the images using Pool Party and Strawberry Slush. I then die cut them with the Stitched Shapes Dies, second from smallest square. I added them to a Pool Party strip 3/4 x 5 1/4. Next I embossed a panel of Peaceful Garden DSP with the Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder. This gives a beautiful embossing and background. I adhered this embossed panel to Secret Sea card stock, then wove ribbon back & forth for movement and texture. The ribbon is Faux Linen Ribbon in Cloud Cover. I added the strip of Poll Party over top to hold the ribbon in place and added the stamped pieces with dimensionals. The final touch, several Hues of Blue Flowers from the Peaceful Garden Suite.

For the inside… When first die cutting the stamped images, I die cut the squares too large, so in cutting down to the appropriate size, I had a leftover ‘trim’ so used it to enhance the stamped sentiment 😀 The sentiment is from Gift of Joy stamp set and is stamped in Secret Sea ink. The gorgeous bow is stamped in Strawberry Slush and is from the Gift of Joy stamp set. This Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card & voila!

Stampin' Up! Gift of Joy & Peaceful Garden card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Peaceful Garden DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, again the cute stocking first stamped in Secret Sea then stamped with Pool Party ink. Since this and the others are two-step images, this works well!.

This is not your traditional bright red & green for a Christmas card, but softer colors that still work. Stampin’ Up! does a great job of coordinating colors for doing just this kind of thing! Hope you like.Shop the products to make this card by clicking the images below.

Stampin’ Up! Brighten Your Day Kit

Posted on by
2

Our Internet is quite spotty & intermittent today so not sure if this will publish appropriately. I’ve been trying all morning.

This is such a beautiful kit and I had promised to share photos of my completed cards a few days ago. I had a difficult reaction to a vaccine that really set me back for two straight days. Thanks goodness that is behind me!

Each card in this kit has a laser-cut delicate design – so three designs for nine cards, make sense? I made one each of the ‘prescribed’ card designs and here they are

Stampin' Up! Brighten Ypour Day Kit original
Stampin' Up! Brighten Your Day, original in Fresh Freesia

These first three cards are the original ‘plan’ of the kit and they show Fresh Freesia, Basic Beige and Balmy Blue. These next two images are of the birds with a card base of Balmy Blue on the left and Lost Lagoon on the right, both using what had been the original base as part of a layer for the card front.

With the remaining cards bases, I trimmed each down to 41/8 x 5 3/8, thereby making a card front panel and an inside panel with each supplied card base. Here are my completed cards – nothing fancy or over the top done, just incorporated an additional card base.

Below left has a card base of Balmy Blue with the original card base as a layer for the laser-cut image. Below right uses Lost Lagoon as the card base

These two cards show card bases in Highland Heather for the left card and Fresh freesia for the right card, again using the original card base as a front layer.

I took a LOT more pictures but they just didn’t turn out that well so I have not included them – bummer!

OK – so this is one of the fabulous kits Stampin’ Up! is offering. There is always something going on… remember there are changes coming to the packaging for both photopolymer stamps and dies. Also, rubber stamps are being discontinued. Both of these will take effect at the end of each catalog. What that means is at the end of both the Sep-Dec 2025 catalog and the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, no more rubber stamps. For full disclosure, check this post. It will give you measurements of the new packaging and you’ll see a glimpse of a new bundle available in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES for November. There is also a video you can access.

Other items of interest… the In Color Sale ends Aug 31 and here it is the 22nd. Click the link in the image below to shop those products!

If you do not have a demonstrator and need the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog – please give me a shout-out. I’m here to help you have fun in this crafting world! And if you see LOTS of items on your wish list, consider joining my team, become apart of the Stampin’ Up! party, craft with others, learn new techniques, receive at least 20% off each order, attend a convention or two, or three 😀, get catalogs early to play with new products, JOIN HERE with me.

Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears plus Branching Out Dies

Posted on by
6

Good Sunday morning! I’ve a sweet Perfectly Pears card for you today and I paired it with a new die set from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog called Branching Out Dies. It has a stamp set as well, but I’m not using that today.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears card front

This new die is shown here in the Basic Beige – as a background for the pears. The leaves of thew pears cover the top of the die cut, but it’s the same as the bottom. There are at least 6 of these layering dies in the set, plus some other fun dies as well. It’s wonderful. How to make this card…

The card base is Mossy Meadow with a layer of Darling Duckling then a layer of Painterly Pears DSP. Next I die cut the Basic Beige with the Branching Out dies and added it. With another piece of the Painterly Pears DSP and the Perfectly Pears Dies, I die cut the two pears and the stem/ leaves. Using another die in the Perfectly Pears Dies and Lemon Lime Twist, I die cut the open weave image. I adhered the stem/ leaves to each pear, then attached them to the card front: the darker pear is adhered directly and the lighter pear is on dimensionals. I slipped the open weave die cut under the pears and attached with dabs of liquid glue. The leaves of the darker pear do have dimensionals. Once everything was innplace, I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink. It comes from the Perfectly Pears stamp set. Final touch – three Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Old Olive and a double Linen Thread bow added with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears inside card

For the inside…on a panel of Basic White… the pear comes from the Perfectly Pears stamp set… inked first in Darling Duckling then Lemon Lime Twist added with a sponge dauber and stamped on the panel. The stem’ leaves are also from this stamp set and are inked with Old Olive and Early Espresso Markers. This was attached to aDarling Duckling panel then added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pearas card & envelope

For the envelope… The same Painterly Pears DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The pear was stamped using the same method as above – using the Perfectly Pears stamps, Darling Duckling and Lemon Lime Twist inks for the pear and Old Olive and Early Espresso markers for the stem’ leaves. This is such a fabulous suite of products!

Stampin’ Up! Traditions of Christmas ~ Sending Love & Joy

Posted on by
6

Yesterday was a blog hop & I used the Traditions of Christmas SDSP for my focal point. Today – still the same package of Designer Series Paper, but used very differently. First of all, there is a coordinating stamp & die bundle that coordinates and die cuts images in the paper – the Christmas Greenery bundle, available Sep 3 in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Traditions of C'mas - sending love

I began with one of those die cuts – of this beautiful ‘swag’. I then stamped some extra leaves from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Old Olive ink on Old Olive card stock scraps – and die cut them as well. I adhered the ‘swag’ with dimensionals and the leaves directly to a Basic White panel. Next I die cut this gorgeous bow from Real Red and adhered it together, placed a cut dimensional and put it in place. Pulling out another bundle that coordinates is the Traditional Labels bundle that has all sentiments and label dies. I stamped on Basic White in Real Red ink, then die cut the label – love this curve die! I also die cut the same lable from Old Olive cardstock, cut it min half lengthwise to give a ‘shadow effect’ or frame to the white label. I added this to the card front with dimensionals. Once that was inn place, I felt the white space was ‘too white’ – too much white space (for me). So I pulled out the Christmas Greenery stamp that had the three berries and stamped those in Real Red all over the open spaces. As a final touch I added Traditional Sparkling Sequins in gold to the sentiment banner. This entire panel was adhered to an Old Olive card base.

Stampin' Up! Traditions of C'mas, sending love card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Traditional Labels stamp set in Old Olive on a Basic White panel, then added berries in Real Red using the Christmas Greenery stamp set. This was adhered to the inside of the card – and done!

Stampin' Up! Traditions of C'mas, sending love card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Traditions of Christmas SDSP but using this fun olive plaid pattern, was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Traditions of Christmas for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
11

It’s Thursday and you know what that mean – a super dooper hop. Let’s get to it! We have a sketc h challenge today and I’ve used NEW PRODUCTS from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog. Wheee!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Traditions of Christmas card front

I used Secret Sea for my card base and adhered strips of Traditions of Christmas DSP & Gold Foil to create the front of the card. (card cuts are listed below) I stamped then sentiment in VersasMark ink then sprinkled WOW! Metallic Embossing Powder (gold) and heat set it. This small banner seemed to need some accent – so I cut a length of ribbon 1/2″ Shiny Ribbon in Real Red, angling one end to mimic the banner. To this ribbon i added 3/8″ Irregular Weave Trim with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered these to the card front, put dimensionals on the sentiment banner (die cut with the Traditional Labels Dies) and attached over the ribbons – creating a great accent. NOTE: you could easily create the same thing with card stock. My final step was adding three Traditional Sparkling Sequins – and the card front was complete! Remember these items will be available in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog. You could also join my team now and be able to order these items as part of your starter kit!

Stampin' Up! Traditions of Christmas card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment using the Traditional Labels stamp set and Real Red ink. I then fussy cut the image from one of the Traditions of Christmas SDSP and adhered it with liquid glue next to the sentiment.

For the envelope, more of the same main pattern of the Traditions of Christmas SDSP adhered to the envelope

Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Embossing Folder – Off-set Gatefold Sympathy Card

Posted on by
6

Good morning – it’s Friday and I have two cards for you this morning using the debossed side of paper run through this fabulous Sunflower 3D embossing folder. And, it’s an off-set gatefold card. In a traditional gatefold card, both closing sides are the same width; this off-set means one side (the right side in this case) is more narrow. Let’s take a peek…

The card on the left is made with a Bubble Bath card base, embossed Basic White card stock, and Bubble Bath ink. The card on the right is made with Fresh Freesia card stock and a layer of embossed Fresh Freesia sprinkled with WOW! Metallic Embossing Powder in silver and heat set with the heat tool. It gives this card a real element of elegance. The sentiment on each card is from the Everday Greetings stamp set die cut with the Tailor Made Tags Dies. White Basic Twine was run through the hole in the tag and tied into a bow. The tag was adhered with dimensionals to the larger side of the card front.

For the inside of the card… I had started with a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel to emboss with the Sunflower Embossing folder. After inking the debossed side, I trimmed it down and there was a narrow remaining piece – which I adhered to the Basic White insert. I also stamped the sentiment: Bubble Bath for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second. These were adherred and the cards were complete.

For the envelope… I took another strip of Basic White, ran it through the Sunflower 3D embossing folder, inked the debossed side: again, Bubble Bath ink for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second card. For the second card I again sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic embossing powder in silver and heat set it. Each was adhered to a Basic White envelope and trimmed to fit. Card cuts are listed below.

Just a word about inking an embossed panel… if you saw yesterday’s post, it indicated a 45 degree angle when running the ink pad along the embossed piece. For these cards, the angle was more like a 20 degree angle and I liked it much better. Practice, right?!

Card cuts:

  • Card bass 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on long side @ 1 1/4 & 5 1/2
  • Embossed layer 4 x 5 1/4 trimmed to 2 7/8 x 5 14, 1 x 5 1/4, remainder used for inside
  • Basic White for inside 4 x 5 1/4
  • Envelope flap 2 1/4 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit

Stampin’ Up! Sunflower 3D and Woven Textures DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
15

Welcome to our Blog Hop! I want to give a shout out to a new person in our Thursday lineup for the blog hop – Nicole Bloxom. Can’t wait to see what she has created for today’s sketch challenge. Welcome Nicole!

So… this has been a stressful week – I learned I must have a heart catheterization tomorrow (7/18) with the possibility of a stent. I’m not used to this – having a cardiologist & all that, testing & so forth. It took my mojo & I’m having a bit of trouble creating… so bear with me. You may remember, I had a knee replacement back in early May – that has meant PT 3 x/ week since then. Today’s card is for my Physical Therapist as today is my last day for PT. WOOHOO!!! And just so you know, I can bend my knee on my own to 120 degrees and walk without a limp – no one would ever know I had a knee replacement. 😀

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D & Woven Textures card front

I used a new embossing folder from the July ONLINE EXCLUSIVES called Sunflower 3D embossing folder. It’s a stand alone item, which is unusual. I embossed the sunflower then colored it with Stampin’ Blends Darling duckling, Pecan Pie & Garden Green then fussy cut this single flower with my paper snips. I put dimensionals on the back and attached it to a Basic White panel 3 1/2″ square then to Pecan Pie card stock 1/8″ larger. I took Woven Textures DSP & cut it 3 1/2″ square and added that to Pecan Pie cardstock 1/8″ larger, then adhered these squares together as shown. For the background I ran a 4 x 5 14 panel of Basic White through the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder then to another of the same design Woven Textures DSP 1/8″ larger – and attached to the Pecan Pie A2 card base. I used my Early Espresso Marker to ‘flip’ some splatters to the upper portion.The sentiment is from Sunshine Vibes stamp set stamped in Pecan Pie ink on a 1/2″ strip of Basic White adhered to Darling Duckling just 1/8″ wider. This was added to the flower with liquid glue then I added a single mini dimensional under the ‘s’. Myn final touch was three Neutral Matte Dots in Pecan Pie.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine Vibes inside card

For the inside… I wanted something light & positive. Pulling out that same Sending Sunshine stamp set, I stamped the half sun in Darling duckling then the rays (stamped twice) in Crushed Curry, then the sentiment in Pecan Pie – all on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4. I added this to the same pattern of Woven Textures DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, added them both to the inside of the card – and done! As I mentioned, this card is to my Physical Therapist, but there are two therapists in this office. We joke with one another, share stories, kid around and WORK OUR ROUTINE to get where we need to be. It has been a good experience and I will miss these folks.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D & Woven textures card & envelope

The envelope – keeping it simple, a piece of the same pattern of Woven Textures DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. That’s it. Want to purchase the products to make this card?
