Stampin’ Up! Diagonal DSP Just a Note

Posted on by
4

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! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Color Challenge

Posted on by

Welcome to our blog hop – it’s Thursday! We have a color challenge today that absolutely stumped me at first. But once I pulled out this bundle of Inspiring Imperfections and coordinating products, it all fell in place.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Color Challenge
Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections card front

The card base is Crumb Cake cut to 4 1/4 x 11 & scored at 5 1/2. Lost Lagoon is part of the layer on dimensionals and is cut 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 (please cut 2 & save one for the inside of the card. The Basic Beige piece is 3 3/4 x 5 and run through the Joined Together 3D embossing folder, which is part of the Kintsugi Inspirations suite of products in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog on pages 58-60. I added this panel to the Lost Lagoon and set them aside.

I stamped this gorgeous vase from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White scrap, then used Stampin’ Blends in Peach Pie & Mossy Meadow to add additional color. Next I die cut the ‘break’ in Secret Sea and the flower s from Basic White. The flowers I colored with Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends. Once the Vase was in place on the card front (on dimensionals I might add), I attached the ‘break’ and the flowers with dabs of liquid glue. The final touch was to add Wink of Stella to the small flowers and to the flowers & colored leaves on the vase. The final touch was the Flower Accents in the center of each of the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections card inside

For the inside … remember the saved Lost Lagoon panel? Attach it to the inside of the card to frame the Basic White stamped panel. 😀. This panel is stamped with another of the vases in the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set and has another of the die cut ‘breaks’ form the coordinating dies in the bundle. And yep – die cut from Secret Sea.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections card & envelope

For the envelope, Crumb Cake 2 1/4 x 6 run through the same Joined Together 3D embossing Folder and attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the envelope front, this sweet flower stamped in Peach Pie ink. I love it – & hope you approve.

Stampin’ Up! Coneflower Celebrations in a Sympathy card

Posted on by
4

I’m sharing a card today made with the amazing Coneflower Celebrations bundle in the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. I’ve made it looking more like a white daisy with bits of color.

Stampin' Up! Coneflower Celebrations card front

The card base is Thick Basic White with an attached Basic White layer run through with one of the Glass Gardens embossing folders (there are two in this package!). I offset the embossing folder for added interest, putting on an angle on the sheet. Then I began creating the flower using the Coneflower Celebration Dies. The top layer is from one die and has light color with the Light Daffoldil Delight Stampin’ Blends; and the other two are from another die. I stamped on one of those bottom layers with stamped off Smoky Slate then added color with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I adhered these together creating layers, so slightly offset. The center of the flower is a gorgeous little die cut from Darling Duckling card stock with added color with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends & Wink of Stella. This too was added to the flower then attached to the card front. The stems and leaves were stamped in Memento ink and colored lightly with Granny Apple Green Stampin blends, then added in place. The sentiment is from the Everyday Greetings stamp set and is stamped in Smoky Slate then fussy cut at the bottom & attached with dimensionals. The final touch is a Linen Thread bow.

Stampin' Up! Conflower Celebrations card inside

For the inside… again the sentiment is from Everyday Greetings stamp set and stamped in Smoky Slate ink. The butterfly is from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp and stamped in Smoky Slate and colored with Light Balmy Blue, Light Pool Party and Light Misty Moonlight – and of course Wink of Stella. The Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Coneflower Celebrations card & envelope

For the envelope… I embossed a piece of Basic White with the same Glass Gardens embossing folder, adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit – done!

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Textures + Textured Notes Fun Fold

Posted on by
4

Hello Saturday! It’s beautiful here in New Jersey – and I’m INSIDE… attending a convention for a women’s organization. The great part is that I’m seeing folks I haven’t seen in a while; the unfortunate part is that I’m not out gardening or enjoying the sun. Having said all that – let me share today’s card…

Stampin' Up! Botanical Textures & Textured Notes card front

This card is made with items from the Botanical Textures Suite of products: the Botanical Textures 12×12 DSP and the Textured Notes stamp set (which is also a bundle with dies). Black & white cards stand out and this one is no different. It’s made with Thick Basic White card stock 8 1/2 x 5 12, scored at 4 1/4 then 2 1/4 removed. I cut a Botanical Textured DSP1 7/8 x 5 3/8 and adhere to the remaining top portion. Open the card & stamp the inside :O) This is an easy, easy card to make… just stamps, ink, paper!

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes Stamp Set inside card

Using the Textured Notes stamp set and Memento ink, I stamped this stunning leaf on the upper right corner and the bottom left corner. I added a 3/8″ strip of the Botanical Textures DSPn to the bottom, then stamped this sentiment – also from the Textured Notes stamp set. LOVE THIS FONT! On each end of the sentiment I added black dots from … I forget which embellishments- maybe the Neutral embellishments from the suite?! And the card itself is done.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Textures + Textured Notes card & envelope

The envelope… Using Memento ink and another leaf stamp in this
Textured Notes stamp set, I stamped on the flap 3 times, reinking the stamp each time. I did the same on the front of the envelope – & boom, complete! Such a quick and gorgeous card. Well, maybe I shouldn’t say that since I made it 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Cutest Onsie Baby Boy Card

Posted on by
2

Hello Sunday! We are slated to have a pretty nice day today – after a drenching rain yesterday that we desperately needed. Those fires in South Jersey did not affect us personally, but they weren’t far. Lots of businesses destroyed & 15,000 acres burned. We needed this rain to put out remaining hot spots on the forests floor. Sigh.

Today’s card is about new life – a baby boy – and I’ve used the carrying over Cutest Onsie Bundle to make it, and Balmy Blue.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Onsie Bundle card front

I began with by stamping a Balmy Blue panel (4 x 5 1/4) with these cute ‘clouds’ (think dreamy 🙂 and Balmy Blue ink. I then stamped the ‘onsie’ with Memento ink and with a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends, colored the neck, sleeves and bottom edges. I also stamped the star in Memento ink. I die cut the onsie and set it aside. Next I stamped the sentiment on two pieces of Lemon Lolly card stock, inking just a portion of the sentiment for each stamping. It was stamped in Azure Afternoon ink I adhered the strips with liquid glue then paced the onsie on dimensionals and overlaid the strips The embellishments are Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Lemon Lolly. This panel was adhered to Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 then attached to a card base of Balmy Blue (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Onsie inside card

For the inside of the card, I stamped the onsie with Memento ink on a piece of Subtles 6×6 DSP (Balmy Blue of course) and while die cutting, I also die cut the pocket for the onsie. I adhered it directly to the Basic White inset (4 x 5 1/4) then stamped the sentiment in Azure Afternoon ink and the hearts too. This was attached to the inside of Balmy Blue card base for the completed card.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Onsie card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Balmy Blue was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. This added touch just unifies every project – love this! And there ya go… a baby boy card for a new little one.

For my 2nd post, here is this extra pretty card using new products in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog AND in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES – both available May 6. That will be an auspicious day!!!

Stampin' UP! Painted Stripes & Gallery Blooms bundle

I used the new IN Color for 2025-2027 called Strawberry Slush both for the card stock base, the Painted Stripes stamp set inked & stamped and the floral design also inked, stamped & die cut. After stamping the flowers, I used Stampin’ Blends to color them: Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, also Color Lifter for highlights and Wink of Stella. The leaves were colored with Granny Apple Green Blends. I then die cut and added dimensionals to the back and set it aside. I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to die cut the circle from Basic White card stock and added it to the card front with dimensionals, off-setting it. I then added the flowers to the circle. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set & Basic Gray ink. I added a very thin strip to the sentiment piece, then attachecd this to the card front… a dimensional on the back right of the sentiment and a dab of glue on the left. The final step was adding embellishments: 2025-2027 In Color Gems in Strawberry Slush.

Stampin' Up! Painted Stripes & Gallery Blooms card inside

For the inside of the card I kept it really simple: this sweet bouquet of roses from the Gallery Blooms stamp set, stamped in Strawberry Slush ink on the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel.

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Welcome to our fabulous hop! It’s Thursday – Maundy Thursday as a matter of fact. We have a fun challenge today, and that is to make a fun fold card – right up my alley, in my wheelhouse or however you want to say it. I’m not certain what this fun fold is called: a z-fold, a zig zag fold, an accordion fold, but I did have fun creating it.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Fun Fold card front

I began with a card base of Fresh Freesia 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and layered a panel of Beautiful Bokeh 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. (You could cover the entire card front.) I next cut a length of Basic White 12×12 to 4 x 12. I put this in my trimmer & with one end at the 2″ mark & the other at the 4″ mark, I from the 2″ end up creating the angled strip. This I scored at 4 & 8, adhering the taller end to the card base. Next was die-cutting the circles: 6th from largest for the Fresh Freesia circle; 8th from largest for the two Beautiful Bokeh circles & the Basic White circle on the Fresh Freesia circle; and 10th from largest for the smallest front Basic White circle. TIP: when die cutting the two Beautiful Bokeh circle, cut one of them from one side of the DSP & the other from the other side of the DSP – otherwise they will not match together :O)

Adhere circles to remaining sections of the card

  • Add the largest Basic White circle first – to the Fresh Freesia circle, centering it.
  • Using that Basic White circle as a guide, add the two Beautiful Bokeh circles to the next section.
    • I adhered the two Bokeh circles together TOP ONLY!
    • Slip these over the section to which they are to be attached with one circle on each side
    • Line them up exactly with the Basic White circle & adhere in place
  • Add smallest white circle to last section, making certain it is on the proper side – refer to z fold photo. If you attach to the wrong side, simply die cut another Basic White circle & attach back to back.

Create all the floral and leaf die cuts using the Impressions Abloom bundle

  • The daisy has 2 layers: the stamped layer (on Beautiful Bokeh stamped in Daffodil Delight) and the card stock layer – Daffodil Delight. These are adhered together , offsetting them & attached with a dimensional
  • The smallest flower has two layers: the stamped layer (on Beautiful Bokeh stamped in Balmy Blue) and the card stock layer in Balmy Blue. These are adhered together , offsetting them & attached with a dimensional
  • The largest flower has two layers: the stamped layer (on Beautiful Bokeh stamped inFresh Freesia) and the card stock layer in Fresh Freesia. These are adhered together , offsetting them & attached with liquid glue
  • The leaves are die cut from Lemon Lime Twist, cut apart as needed & tucked in, adhering with liquid glue
  • The flower centers were all die cut from Beautiful Bokeh 6×6 D
    SP and added with liquid glue
  • The teeniest flowers are die cut from Basic White. Using Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, I added dots of color to the centers & attached to the card with dots of liquid glue – 3 on front 2 on second panel of circles & one on largest of the circle

Final step – stamp the front sentiment. This sentiment is from the So Sincere stamp set & is stamped in Fresh Freesia ink.

Here’s how the card looks standing up, front view.

And finally, the envelope, I used another piece of the Beautiful Bokeh to add to the flap & trimmed it to fit. Because the card was so busy, I did not add more to the envelope.

Stampin’ Up! Split Front Fun Fold with Beautiful Gallery 6×6

Posted on by
5

Good morning and happy Wednesday! We have bright sunshine today – wheee! I wanted to make this split front card for a while and decided to use this gorgeous paper in the 2005-2006 Annual Catalog that goes live May 6.

Split Front Fun Fold w/ Beautiful Gallery 6x6, card front

This fun fold is so super easy! Cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4 x 11 (here I used Mossy Meadow), trim away 1 1/2″ then another 2 1/2″ then score the remaining piece at 1 1/2. Save those cut off pieces for the card front! Cut 2 pieces of DSP 4 x 1 1/4 & adhere to the short scored card front and the 1 1/2 x 4 card stock. Again, I used the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP for those two cut pieces. Cut another piece of the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP for the front panel – this time 2 1/4 x 4 and adhere to the 2 1/2 x 4 panel removed in the beginning – so Mossy Meadow. What I did… I trimmed away a portion of the edging on this DSP leaving the flower bud – top- and the leaf- lower left – loose. I adhered this to Gray Granite 2 1/8 x 41/8 then to the Mossy Meadow piece. Here’s the tricky part but not difficult … adding the front panel to the card front….With the card base closed, lay the loose bottom piece even with the bottom of the card base; using the grid paper, add the decorated front panel so it is equidistant top to bottom & right, adhering to top & bottom. Decorate front panel with Pressed Flower Motifs – and the card front is complete!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the Thinking of You in Mossy Meadow ink using the Beautiful Motifs stamp set from the Beautiful Gallery Suite in the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. I also stamped the fun image underneath in stamped off once Mossy Meadow ink. This was adhered to the inside of the card and the card was complete. Here’s what the card looks like standing.

For the envelope… more of the same Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP adhered to the flap, trimmed to fit then randomly stamped with the same image as the inside of the card, then stamped again on the envelope front.

With the ‘open ended’ sentiment, this could be used as a get well, happy birthday, simply thinking of you, happy anniversary or even a wedding card! Love the flexibility!
