Good Thursday – & welcome to another fabulous hop with the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop group. We have a fun color challenge this week & I’m working with products from the Wildflower Birthday Suite that has all the required colors. Let’s take peek…
This is a Double Flap Fun Fold and it incorporates many of the colors for this color challenge – and it comes from using many of the products in the Wildflower Birthday Suite. I love all the soft colors in this card front: Soft Sea Foam, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Gold. The ribbon is part of the wuite as well… 1 1/2″ Open Weave Trim in Gold. I simply took a length, tied a knot, trimmed the ends to an angle and attached it with a glue dot. And that beautiful bouquet is a punch out from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP. I added it to the card front with dimensionals.
This is the flap layer – like another card! AND… it uses another of the punch outs from the Wildflower Birthday SDSP. I adhered it to this layer then added the sentiment using the Wanted To Say Dies, Pretty In Pink card stock, Gold Foil Sheets with Adhesive Sheets and dimensionals.
This is the inside of the card… the balloon is another of the punch outs from the Wildflower Birthday SDSP and the sentiment is from the Birthday Celebration stamp set stamped with Pretty in Pink ink. This is a very feminine card! I love the soft colors and all the added punch-outs & ribbon. This is a card that will need extra postage – or hand delivered.
For the envelope… I added more of the Wildflower Birthday DSP to the flap and another of the punch-outs to the front of the envelope, bringing everything together.
Below the list of names & connections for this blog hop, are instructions, card cuts for putting this card together. Also, there are changes coming to Stampin’ Up! that I want to share – so see below for purchasing products to make this card & new Stampin’ Up! info!

NEW STAMPIN’ UP! INFO BEGINNING APRIL 15… I’m giving a very SHORT summary :O)
The HOST CODE is going away beginning April 15, 2025! Actually, this is a huge benefit to the customer… when making purchases of $20 or more, Stampin ‘ Up! will be giving rewards which you can use for future purchases. :O) CUSTOMERS MUST OPT IN & NEED AN ONLINE ACCOUNT!
I will be discontinuing my $10 “gift’ when customers make purchases of $50 or more, but the customer will receive benefits from Stampin’ Up! that make up for that!!! More about my rewards in another post :O)
Card stock prices are increasing with the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog (production costs!). The cost of single-color will be $14 for a pack of 24 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11, while it is currently $13 for a pack of 40 sheets. Assortments will contain 20 sheets. Stocking up now is a good idea!!!
Thick Basic White will only be offered in 12×12 size, for $26.
Paper Pumpkin website will be much more accessible beginning March 11, 2025 with a different address – yay!
The 2025-2026 Annual Catalog will be revealed at the On Stage Convention – I’m attending in Raleigh, NC!
I’m hoping this information helps calm your fears. Stampin’ Up! is working diligently to make shopping with them (and me) a positive experience.
I’m not certain what this fun fold is called… maybe a double fold? It opens from the left, then again from the right. Yo can see the sentiment here in the middle – and it’s from the Delightful Wishes Dies. There are two layers, the background layer is Daffodil Delight and the top layer is Basic White. It’s attached to the card front with mini dimensionals cut in half. The bow is a double bow made with the Satin Ribbon in Daffodil Delight and tied with White Baker’s Twine and attached with a glue dot. The card base and DSP panels is what makes this card the fun fold it is.
Card Base, Lemon Lolly cs: 6 1/4 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side at 1″ and 5 1/4″. Fold both ends toward the center & burnish
DSP panels: cut 2 at 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 but from two different DSP panels. The front layer you see is Floral Delight 12×12; the other layer is from Floral & Gingham Vellum 12×12. Attach these DSP pieces to the card base at each end.
Cut two side panels of Lemon Lolly card stock 7/8 x 5 1/4 and run through the Zinnia 3D embossing folder and adhere to the card panels at each end, covering the ends of the DSP attached to the card base. See photos below.
You can see in this photo that I added a sentiment piece… stamped in Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White strip 5/8 x 3 1/2 then die cut with Delightful Wishes banner die. This was attached to the vellum panel with glue dots and Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins were added at each end.
The center panel is Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 and run through the largest die in the Stitched with Whimsy Dies. Before attaching to the inside of the card, I stamped the floral image from Delightful Wishes stamp set. Since this is a two-step stamp, the first is Lemon Lolly ink, the second is Daffodil Delight ink to give more detail of the flower. Now adhere to the inside.
For the envelope, I added more of the Floral Delight 12×12 DSp to the flap and used the same two step method to stamp the same flower on the envelope front. This is such a bright, springy card and could be used for several occasions: birthday, encouragement, even a wedding or baby card. Love the versatility.
My main colors were Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. This is a hop, remember, so check out what others on the team have created. Click the next button or a name to take you where you want to go.

Happy Thursday – and welcome to Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and so many of these colors come from a specific DSP that I kept this super simple.
You can see I focused on the colors Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight & Boho Blue. The card base is Boho Blue, standard A2 card size 8 1/2 x5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The Basic White panel is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 with the Mixed Media Florals DSP cut 3 3/4 x 5 and adhered to it. I wrapped the Navy ribbon from the Natural Tones Linen Thread pack around these two, twice, and tied a bow, adhering that with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut with the Mixed Labels Dies. I love the design around the edge! I added three Opals Round Assortments in Daffodil Delight from the Annual Catalogue. I added dimensionals and attached to the DSP panels, then added those to the card base – also with dimensionals.
For the inside, I took a panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped this fun partial image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento ink. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green. This was adhered directly to the inside of the card.
I did exactly the same for the envelope front… stamping a partial image in Memento ink and coloring it with the same Stampin’ Blends. You can clearly see the coloring is different :O) – and the card was done! See below the list of names for purchasing these products from me :O)

Good Tuesday January 7! Today is the day… the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog goes LIVE and… benefits of the Jan-Feb 2025 Sale-a-bration Catalog also go into effect. What that means is when you make a purchase of any Stampin’ Up! items: Kits Collection, Last Chance items, the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog OR the new MINI Catalog, Sale-a-bration items are available. How cool is that! There are two levels: a $60 purchase and a $120 Purchase – each allowing different products that are FREE TO YOU. So, shop, shop, shop!
Today’s card is another fun fold, called the bandstand, and it used products from the two mini catalogs going live today. The Designer Series Paper DSP) is a free Sale-a-bration item, and the rabbit, sentiment and delicate frame die are from the Storybook Friends bundle and Storybook Moments 12×12 SDSP. Here ya go…
How sweet is that rabbit and how gorgeous that frame!!! I adhered the frame to a Window Sheet so all the DSP would show :O) The rabbit is fussy cut from the Storybook Moments SDSP and attached with dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink from the Storybook Friends stamp set and die cut with a die from Happy Little Things Dies, retiring. It is attached with a dimensional on the right end and liquid glue to the rabbit. And here’s the top-down view.
This card fold flat and works perfectly in a standard envelope. Here’s the envelope for the card
That cute rabbit is from the Storybook Friends stamp set and is stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin/ Blends: Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Peach Pie and Old Olive.
Here’s how to make this card…
Card base, back: 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 scored on long side at 3/4 & 4 5/8. Burnish.
Card base, front: cut 2 – 1 1/4 x 4 1/8, score on long side 3/4, 2 1/2, 4 1/2 & 6 1/4. Burnish. These are the pop-out sections.
Decorate:
Cut DSP for inside back, 5/8 x 4 1/8, 3 3/4 x 4 1/8 and again 5/8 x 4 1/8 and adhere to the inside back.
For pop-out sections: cut a single strip 1 1/8 x 5 1/8 then trim to 1 5/8 x 1 1/8, 1 7/8 x 1 1/8 and lastly 1 5/8 x 1 1/8. By cutting this as a single strip and trimming down, this allows for a continuous pattern. Do this twice, then adhere to the pop-out strips, leaving the ends without DSP
Turn strips over and adhere Tear n’ Tape to the ends as shown.
Putting together:
Leaving the strips face down, lay the decorated back panel, decoration side down and even at top of strip, centering the back panel between score lines. There will maybe be a 1/16″ between the score line and the back panel. Remoce cover on Tear n’ Tape & adhere to back panel. Do this again at the bottom. Notice there is ‘wiggle room’ on the ends in the photo – this is as it should be!
Now is the perfect time to decorate the back of the card where you can write your message.
Here I used Peach Pie as a nice contrasting color, 3 3/4 x 4 1/8, and adhered it to the back. I cut a Basic White 3 5/8 x 4 and stamped it with an image from Storybook Friends in Memento ink, coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Peach Pie & Old Olive. I adhered this in place.
Decorate the front: the key here is to provide something to ‘stabilize’ the card and. to adhere it only to the center panel. It can extend beyond the center panel as the pop-out sections go back not forward.
Die cut from Basic White this gorgeous frame. With liquid glue adhere it to a Window Sheet.
Add Window Sheet to card front adhering only to the center panel with Stampin’ Seal
Fussy cut the bunny from the Storybook Moments SDSP OR use one of the fabulous pieces that can be punched out – 2 sheets of these are provided in the SDSP pack!

Oh my – tomorrow – Jan 7 is the BIG DAY for ordering from the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog AND using benefits from the Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration Catalog. WooHoo! Excitement is building!!! My card today uses the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and the Mixed Florals Bundle from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I love this bundle (and it’s part of a suite of products too). So… here’s the card.
I folded the Calming Creek card on it’s score line then scored again at 3 1/4. Between the 4 1/4 & 3 1/4 scores I added adhesive to secure it in place. I wrapped that section with Bordered Ribbon in Basic Beige and secured it with a glue dot at the knot. I took one of the Elements of Text stamps (also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) and stamped a Basic Beige panel in two places with Memento Ink – see the image. I die cut the panel with second from the largest Perennial Postage Dies then removed just enough from the left edge for it to fit on the book fold front. Save this removed piece!
On a Basic White piece, I stamped the floral image in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Wild Wheat, Daffodil Delight and Summer Splash. Once the coloring was complete, I added Wink of Stella to many of the small flowers, to the large flowers and to some areas of the leaves. I die cut this with the appropriate die from the Mixed Florals Dies, added dimensionals to the back and attached it to the card front. I then stamped the super cute lady bugs from Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento ink and colored with Petunia Pop Blends.
On the inside of the card I added the removed cut strip from the Perennial Postage die cut and that was it.
Here is the card with it’s own envelope. I love how they coordinate. And yes, I could have stamped a portion of the floral stamp, but chose to keep it simple.

Hello – welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop – 2025!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have a sketch challenge today and I have chosen to work with some of the Floral Delight Suite of products from the Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalog, which customers may begin ordering from Jan 7, 2025. WooHoo!
I started with a Daffodil Delight card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. I stamped around the edges with a leaf stamp from the fabulous Delightful Wishes stamp set – using Old Olive ink. The next layer is Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and added with dimensionals. I cut a panel of Floral Delight 12×12 DSP 3 3/4 x 5 and ran it through my Cut & Emboss machine with the extra fun die from Delightful Wishes Dies. See those cute florals peeking through with the Basic White showing? I adhered this to the Basic White panel then proceeded to stamp the sweet flowers from another of the Delightful Wishes stamp set. This particular stamp is a two-step, so I stamped in Dasffodil Delight ink, stamped off then stamped on a Basic White panel. The second stamp was full strength Daffodil Delight. I die cut these with the coordinating die from Delightful Wishes Dies and set them aside. I pulled out a piece of crumb Cake and die cut the branch using Delightful Wishes Dies, then with a Blending Brush added some Pecan Pie ink to create depth. I added these to the card front, trimming them as needed, then added the die cut flowers on dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie ink and die cut with a label die from this same Delightful Wishes Dies. Once that was added with dimensionals, I added three Tiny Bee Trinkets with a dab of liquid glue, and the Linen T hread bow with a glue dot.
For the inside, I cut another panel of Floral Delight DSP 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered it to the inside. On a Basic White panel I stamped these sweet flowers in the same manner as those on the front – Daffodil Delight stamped off, then the detail full strength. I used the Old Olive Marker to color just the leaves I wanted to stamp around the flowers. And this was adhered to the inside.
For the envelope… I used yet another piece of Floral Delight DSP to add to the flap. And done! Now – time to see what others have created for the hop. Click the ‘next’ button or click on a name to take you on the hop. Enjoy!

HelIo again – it is April 30 – the final day of two catalogs: the Jan-Apr 2024 catalog and the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. decided to share one more card – or 3 – of the same layout, but in retiring papers… These cards use Forever Love 12×12 SDSP and Poetic Expressions DSP. + the Color & Contour bundle. Here they are…
Card 1 w/ Forever Love SDSP
Cards 3 & 2 w/ Poetic Expressions DSP
Card 1 uses Pretty Peacock card base and is layered with Forever Love SDSP and Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper, Pretty Peacock Foil Gems and Gold ribbon. I used Stitched Shapes Dies to create the sentiment .
Card 2 uses Thick Basic White for the card base, a layer of Wild Wheat embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder, then the layers of Poetic Expressions DSP. This card uses the Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat, the Color & Contour stamp set for the sentiment, die cut with the same Stitched Shapes Dies circle. This was embellished with the 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems in pink.
Card 3 is so similar… the difference is Wild Wheat card base and embellishments of 23-25 In Color Dots in Wild Wheat. Everything else is the same as card 2.
Card 1, inside
Cards 2 & 3 same inside
The inside of the cards are similar as well… a flower stamped then stamped again with a filler stamp w/ second generation ink. On the Pretty Peacock card, I added a layer of the Forever Love SDSP before adhering the inner panel – and of course the flower is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. The other two cards have no DSP layer for the inside, just the stamped panel in Wild Wheat and second generation ink for the flower ‘filler’.
Card 1, Pretty Peacock
Cards 3 & 2 w/ Poetic Expressions DSP
The envelopes… Pretty Peacock ink was used to stamp the flower on both the envelope flap and the envelope front. On the other two cards I adhered Poetic Expressions DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit and stampoed the flower image in Wild Wheat ink. Finis.

Isn’t this pretty? I’m heading to a convention on Thursday and the ‘logo’ is daisies – so what better use of this Delightfully Eclectic DSP and Scalloped Contour Dies? and this fun fold is so quick & easy.
Directions
* Cut card base – here it is Thick Basic White – 4 1/4 x 10 1/4, score at 5 1/2
* Cut Designer Series Paper – Delightfully Eclectic DSP – 4 1/4 x 4 34 and adhere to card front
* While this is drying, cut additional pieces of DSP 2 5/8 x 3 15/16 + 2 1/4 x 6 (envelope flap)
* Place card front in Paper Trimmer and cut on the diagonal. For my measurements I used 1 1/4 on left upper corner and about 1 1/2 on right lower corner.
* Using Basic White card stock and the 2nd largest of the Scalloped Contour Dies, create the scalloped piece. Adhere the small panel(2 5/8 x 3 15/16) of DSP to it’s center. Add dimensionals to the back of this panel, both top & bottom.
* Add this panel to the closed card front – top portion only! Remember the cut diagonal removed the bottom :O) It will be about 1/2″ from top of fold and about 5/8″ from each side.
* With the card closed, slip the bottom diagonal piece under the scalloped die cut, making it even with the inside of the card bottom & sides. Remove backing on remaining dimensionals and close card.
* Using the Sweetly scripted stamp set, Tuxedo Black Memento ink and a 4 1/4 x 1″ strip of Basic White, stamp the preferred sentiment. Add dimensionals to each end and adhere over the die cut panel
On the inside of the card… on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel and using the daisy outline stamp from Color & Contour stamp set, stamp in Petal Pink both in the upper right corner and lower left. Now stamp the ‘fill’ image of the flower in stamped off Petal Pink – this is called second generation stamping. Add the panel to the inside of the card – and done! I created at least 3 of these, just like this, then did two others using the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink to cover the card front, yet continued with the Delightfully Eclectic Daisy DSP on the Scalloped Contour Die.
For the envelope, I used another piece of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to cover the envelope flap and trimmed it to fit. On the envelope front, I did the same daisy stamp from Color & Contour stamp set with Petal Pink ink. I did the same for all five cards.
