Stampin’ Up! Purse Gift Bag with Scalloped Blooms Bundle & Lazy Daisy EF

I’m seeing one of our daughters this weekend & I needed a small gift bag – this design popped up and I loved it: here’s my creation.

Stampin' Up! Purse Gift Bag in Cloud Cover

It begins with card stock 8 x 11; I chose Cloud Cover. Score it with the 8″ up on the paper trimmer @ 2″; turn it a full 180 degrees and do the same again. With the 11″ side at top of paper trimmer, score @ 4 1/2″, rotate 180 degrees & score again at 4 1/2″. With the short side at top again, mark 2″ from the up from the first horizontal score line, then 2″ down from the 2nd horizontal score line. Do this on both sides with short side at top. Burnish all score lines. After burnishing, the folds should look like the photo below.

Add adhesive to long area with diagonal score & fold in to secure. I should look like the photo below.

Emboss & die cut a piece of Basic White for the flap. I chose the Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder and Scalloped Blooms Dies (2nd from largest). I lightly marked a center line on the die cut & scored 1/4″ on either side of it & burnished with my fingers. I adhered this to the back of the gift bag up to the first score line. Cut a length of ribbon (about 12″) and attach each end between the score lines on the newly created flap. See left photo below. Cover this area with a 3/8″ wide strip 4″ long to secure the ribbons in place. Add a Velcro dot to the flap. See right photo below.

Close purse – not too tightly – to adhere other half of Velcro dot. Decorate as desired.

I used a leftover portion of the embossed Basic White piece used to make the flap to die cut the sentiment banner & attached it directly to the front of the purse. The die was another of the Scalloped Blooms Dies. I stamped the sentiment using the Scalloped Blooms stamp set & Cloud Cover ink on a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut it. I put dimensionals on the back of the fussy cut sentiment & attached it to the embossed banner.

Finishing touches… I took another length of the 3/8″ Faux Ribbon in Cloud Cover and tied a bow & attached it with liquid glue, holding it in place to secure. I then added two 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Golden Glow – one to the banner & one to the center of the flap opening. I will stuff the inside with a bit of shredded paper & add the gift. 🎁 LOVE THIS!

The pink images were my sample pieces… forgive me 😊

I hope you like this little purse gift bag. What’s extra nice is this can be stored flat after making it – no stuffing inside of course! Want to make this cutie? See the items below for product information.

Stampin’ Up! Scenic Coast Suite in a Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Oh yes – ’tis almost time for sailing season! For some it’s already here… and I’m all ‘a flutter’ over this new bundle & it’s coordinating Scenic Coast SDSP & the Sunset Sparkle Sequins. ❤️ The theme for this hop is to make something for the ‘men/ boys’ in our lives. This card relates to that as we sold our sailboat last year & it was tough. But we have such fond memories of our sailing days that it’s ok. 👍

On the inside I added the second panel of the Scenic Coast DSP to the inside on the right of the card. Next to it is a Basic White stamped panel 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. The sentiment is from the Sunset Coast stamp set & I used Night of Navy ink.

Final touch on the inside was this fabulous die cut that looks like netting, and I added it with dabs of liquid glue to the left portion of the card. – And done! The card looks like this from the top.

Stampin’ Up! Showing Off Velvet Meadows SDSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I’m showing off a new Specialty Designer Series Paper for it. I’ve created three cards but the first is the first is my favorite. Why is it special – because it has raised areas that feel like velvet!!! Hence the name – Velvet Meadows

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card front 1

This card began with one of the new IN COLOR card stocks – Peaceful Pine 11 x4 1/4 scored at 5 1/2 (side fold). I used a SDSP layer 4 x 5 1/4 from Velvet Meadows SDSP.. The next layer is another Peaceful Pine with the gorgeous velvet side of the Velvet Meadows SDSP – adhered together & added with dimensionals. I then die cut some of the flowers from the SDSP using the coordinating Flowering Meadows Dies. I fussy cut several leaves: leaves & flowers were added to the card front with dimensionals. Now we have two layers of dimensionals in total. The sentiment is stamped in Berry Burst using the Flowering Meadows stamp set and fussy cut, then added with dimesnionals. Final step – two stunning embellishments: Dreaming Flowers in whiten – yep, from the suite!

For the inside… I stamped this floral image from the Flowering Meadows stamp set in Berry Burst on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. This was attached to the inside side of the card.

For the envelope… I stamped this same image in Berry Burst on both the flap & the front of the envelope. This just ties everything together making it look so perfect!

My next card is again a card base of Peaceful Pine5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (top fold). I embossed a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 with the Paradise Garden 3D embossing Folder & attached it to the card front. The next layer is Peaceful Pine with a layer of the Velvet Meadows SDSP & attached with dimensionals. In this suite of products is the Velveteen Assortment Special Paper – this one used is white. I die cut these gorgeous small leaves using the Flowering Meadows Dies. On Basic White I stamped the daisyin Peaceful Pine ink, then die cut the center with the Velveteen Assortment Specialty Paper in White and attached this by adhering the stem with liquid glue & a mini dimensional on the back of the daisy flower.

For the inside, I stamped off the stems & image in Peaceful Pine on the Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 & attached it – no sentiment!

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 3 front

For this last card, I used Berry Burst for the card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 – top fold). I layered this with Velvet Meadows SDSP 4 x 5 1/4. The next is Berry Burst & another of the papers in Velvet Meadows SDSP – I LIKE this contrast! I’ve added no sentiment or any kind of embellishment. The SDSP speaks for itself.

For the inside, I stamped the double flower image in Berry Burst ink on the Basic White panel (5 1/4 x 4) & adhered this to the inside of the card. The sentiment is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink using the Flowering Meadows stamp set.

Here are the envelopes for the two additional cards: the left stamped with Peaceful Pine ink: full strength then stamped again & once more without re-inking. This was sone on the envelope front & the flap. The envelope on right is stamped off erry Burst ink and the same double flowers image from Flowering Meadows stamp set.

Now… check out what others on the hop are creating. I had extra fun making cards with the same layout but each with different layers/ embellishments or very simple & just paper, Each is so different from the next, which makes it extra fun.

Stampin’ Up! Relaxing Waterside for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to our HOP! We have a color challenge today… I’m using a NEW product available May 5 called the Relaxing Waterside bundle & it’s coordinating Designer Paper called Waterside Retreat. Let’s take a peek…

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Color challenge

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card front

I used Cloud Cover for my card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) then layered a panel of a new IN Color called Crisp Cantaloupe (4 1/8 x 5 38) then a layer of the Waterside Retreat DSP. I die cut the chair from Wood Textured Specialty Paper & added it with dimensionals. I also stamped grass images in both Pecan Pie & Old Olive onto Basic White scraps & die cut them. They are part of the Relaxing Waterside bundle & just add wonderful dimension to the card. Last thing was to stamp the seagulls in Cloud Cover ink – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card inside

For the inside – on a Basic White piece (4 x 5 1/4) I stamped these sentiments in Cloud Cover ink and attached the panel to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card & envelope

For the envelope… On the backside of this particular sheet is this wonderful stripe pattern – I used that for the flap then stamped more seagulls on the front with Cloud Cover ink. Here on the East coast, seagulls swarm wherever there are people with food. They get quite aggressive in taking food, sometimes right out of one’s hand!!!

Stampin’ Up! Slider Card Fun Fold with Sneak Peek Products

Good morning! I’m so excited to share this card with you – it’s a beauty, I used some new products that will be coming out in the May-August 2026 Catalog that you can order on May 5.

Stampin' Up! Slider Card fun fold, card front

The card base is Crisp Cantaloupe. Don’t you just love that name of a color? The layers are Peaceful Pine and various papers from the Bloom Boutique Specialty Paper Pack. The flowers & leaves come from a new bundle – Boutique Blossoms and the scalloped die cuts use the Scalloped Blooms bundle. Before I share all the details about how to make this card, let’s see the inside where the slider is.

Stampin' Up! Slider card fun fold inside

More gorgeous paper shown here from the same Bloom Boutique SDSP. And the slider? That’s the sentiment panel – and it slips inside the panel on the right.

So, directions… I chose to do the inside first so let’s start there.

  • The card base is the standard 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side @ 2 3/4 & 6 3/4. Burnish the score lines as both will fold to the inside.
  • Cut the left DSP panel 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 and adhere
  • Cut the center DSP panel 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 and adhere
  • Fold the last panel inwards with a narrow line of adhesive at just the top & bottom (see photo)
Stampin' Up! Slider card template

Decorate this folded over section with contrasting card stock (Peaceful Pine 1 1/2 x 5 1/4) then an overlay of DSP (1 1/4 x 5)

Creating the Slider for the card:

  • Cut a piece of card stock same color as card base (Crisp Cantaloupe) 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 & score 1/2″ on short side. Burnish & add adhesive to the scored end
  • Add this to the left inside panel even with the DSP & equidistant top to bottom
  • Fold this to the right, add a stamped Basic White piece 3 x 4 to the ‘slider’ front, then slip it into the opening on the right (I stamped the sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink – new In Color! and the flowers in Crisp cantaloupe – also new In Color! The sentiment is from Scalloped Blooms & the flowers are from Boutique Blossoms)

Now let’s decorate the front, which is really only the left panel 😀 Cut a contrasting card stock (Peaceful Pine) 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 and a DSP panel 2 1/4 x 5. Add to card front.

  • Die cut two panels of Scalloped Blooms Dies (Crisp Cantaloupe & Basic White) Stamp the BW piece in Peace Pine ink using a stamp from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set
  • Stamp small flowers in Peaceful Pine ink & the medium flower outline stamp in Crisp Cantaloupe. Stamp the filler stamp for both flowers in Barely Blush ink (another new IN COLOR!) Use the Light Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blend to add color to the leaves of the small flowers. Die cut & set aside.
  • Die cut the small group of leaves (Peaceful Pine)
  • Add each of these die cuts to the die cut scallops and attach to card front.
  • Final touch… add three (3) 2026-2028 In Color Dots

Envelope… Add another piece of the Bloom Boutique SDSP 2 1/4 x 6 to the flap & trim to fit. Stamp the front with flowers from the Bloom Boutique stamp set with Crisp Cantaloupe ink. YAY – this is ready to send to someone special!
