Good Saturday morning. It’s brisk here today at 54 degrees. Just say… lovin’ it! What good sleeping weather :O) My card today uses the awesome All About Autumn SDSP cut into strips to follow the scene. (Goodness! As I’m looking at this, I have the DSP in the wrong order and didn’t notice until just now!!)The sentiment comes from the Wonderful Words stamp setand Wonderful Words Dies. I wanted this card simple, to reflect the struggle of the moment the folks are going through – those who will receive this card. Copper Clay card stock was the perfect background paper on which to adhere the All About Autumn SDSP. Together, these were adhered to Early Espresso card base with dimensionals. As you can see, the sentiment is also on dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla. Embellishments were the Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots in Copper Clay.
For the inside… the sentiment is stamped using Quiet Moments stamp set and Early Espresso ink on a Very Vanilla panel. This was added to another Copper Clay piece and both adhered to the inside of the card.
For the Very Vanilla envelope, another sentiment from Quiet Moments stamp set stamped in Early Espresso ink. The flap got a reverse side of one of the wonderful All About Autumn SDSP trimmed to fit.
This wonderful SDSP is one of the Designer Series Papers in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. It just may be out of stock right now, but should be available soon. This is just such gorgeous papers, you want to be sure to have some to use.

We originally created these papers to be part of our second Sale-A-Bration offering.

That way, you and your customers have the chance to get ahead on Christmas cards, seasonal crafts, and much more. These products are available while supplies last.
Good Monday! I have a sweet card for you today using a DSP from the SU! Online Exclusives store: Naturally Guilded Specialty DSP. It’s beautiful, woodsy but in a gold, silver and copper.
I chose the silver and used Blending Brushes to add color. The inks are Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Azure Afternoon. After coloring, I placed an Azure Afternoon panel behind it, dimensionals, and added it to a Pebbled Path card base. With the Meadow Dies, I die cut this sweet flower from Basic White and colored with Lemon Lolly and Azure Afternoon inks using Blending Brushes. Combining those two colors on the stem & leaves made them green, without adding a third ink color :O). I die cut the flower center from Early Espresso card stock. The Sentiment is from Quiet Meadow stamp set and stamped in Pebbled Path ink and die cut with the Meadow Dies. I added dimensionals to it and placed it over the flower. The bow is a double bow made with the Simply Elegant Trim in silver and was added with a glue dot. The final touch was the addition of several Festive Pearls in silver, both on the sentiment and the card front.
For the inside another Azure Afternoon panel was adhered first. The Basic White panel was stamped with this lovely flower bunch from Quiet Meadow stamp set in Stazon Ink. I colored it with Light Lemon Lolly, Light Granny Apple Green and SU 100 Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is again from Quiet Meadow stamp set and stamped in Pebbled Path ink.
The envelope did not stamp so well :O( but I used the same stamp as the inside of the card, from Quiet Meadow stamp set. And more Naturally Guilded SDSP on the flap. After trimming to size I colored it as I did the card front: Blending Brushes, Lemon Lolly and Azure Afternoon inks.
Online Exclusives are a part of the Stampin’ Up! product line, just online only – as the name implies.

Good Friday morning! It’s cool here in the northeast – 54 degree when we walked. And that means fall is a-comin’. That’s perfect for today’s card because I chose to use one of the masks in the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks.
I used Blending Brushes and three colors of ink to create this with one of the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler – definite fall colors. And here’s the mask after using the Blending Brushes.
You can see that I held the paper in place AND the mask in place using post-it notes. And that is a key to making the finished product clear. I trimmed the Basic White panel a bit then with a Water Painter added some water splotches. I did this by squeezing just a bit of water into the brush then tapping it against my other hand. Once dry I used an Early Espresso Marker to flick some splatters to the entire panel. This was added to a Cherry Cobbler panel just slightly larger. I wanted the card base to be Pumpkin Pie card stock, but also wanted some texture on the card – so ran a separate panel of Pumpkin Pie through the cut & emboss machine with the Basics 3D Embossing folder, Crosshatch. This is a product part of the Online Exclusives. This embossed panel was adhered to the card base withn loiquid glue and the top two panels were added with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment using another new product available Sep 6, the Abundant Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on another Basic White piece, and die cut it with a die from the Abundant Leaves Dies. I also wanted another image behind the sentiment and looked at the Abundant Leaves Dies and say this image that is really ‘veins’ for a leaf. I die cut it from Early Espresso card stock and added it with dots of liquid glue to the card front, putting dimensionals on the sentiment and adding it over the die cut. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots – also a new product available Sep 6.
Using the die cut from Abundant Leaves Dies as a stencil, I used the Blending Brushes used to create the card front, to create the image on the inside of the card. Again, the Basic White panel was adhered to a Cherry Cobbler card stock then added to the inside of the card.
With the Abundant Beauty Masks still on my desk, I used the mask and Blending Brushes to decorate the envelope, some leaves on the front, then the entire flap. it ties everything together. Abundant Beauty Masks – a real bargain and a fun play with Blending Brushes!
Remember, several of the items used to create this card will be available Sep 6 as they are in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator or a new catalog, please reach out to me. I also have a Designer Series Paper Share as part of the same catalog – touting all the new Designer Series Papers.

Online Exclusives are just that – not in any Stampin’ Up! catalog.
The Basics 3D Embossing Folders used in today’s project, are part of this.
Oh, more new products to share today: Forever Forest Dies, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder and Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets :O)
I began by running a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel through the Christmas Tidings EF and layered it on a Pecan Pie card piece just slightly larger. I wrapped a red ribbon around it from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (annual catalog), securing it in back with Stampin’ Seal. These were added to a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.) I punched the bear from A Walk in the Forest DSP using the Beary Cute Punch. And yes, this punch also coordinates with the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP – YAY! The trees were die cut using the Forever Forest Dies from Shimmer Paper. There are several tree sizes in this set of dies, so it’s a matter of deciding which ones to use. I adhered the smaller tree so the base sat inside the ribbon, the larger tree is on dimensionals and overlaps the ribbon. I adhered the bear with dimensionals as well – as though it is ‘walking to the forest’. The final touch was this stunning Adhesive-Backed Star Trinket at the top of the taller tree. All these new items will be available in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog come September 6!
For the inside… I used another new product… the Tiny Christmas Tree Dies to die cut the border of the Basic White inside panel. Are those tiny trees too cute or what?! And I saved the die cut trees to use later :O) This die can be used as a card front as well – look for that in the near future! The sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink using another new stamp set, Magical Meadow. This Basic White panel was adhered to a Pecan Pie piece and attached to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, another piece of Basic White was run through the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder, attached to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. I used three of the die cut trees from the Tiny Christmas Trees Die to adhere to the envelope front – and they are perfect there!

Welcome to another Thursday… and the amazing Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge for this hop.
I found the directions for this card and it seemed a clever way of making the card more flexible – and just had to give it a try. Susan Campfield was the demonstrator and had another name for it. Here’s what it looks like open.
Notice how there is a gap between the front of the card and the back of the card – that’s the split. And here’s how the card looks from the top.
Directions to make this card are not all that complicated – and all the colors for the color challenge are in the DSP :O) I used Blueberry Bushel for the card base, Pretty Peacock for stamping one of the sentiments and Bubble Bath and Lemon Lime Twist are in the DSP – so we’re good.
Cut the card base back from Blueberry Bushel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Cut the card front in two parts: Blueberry Bushel 1 3/4 x 5 12 & Masterfully Made DSP 3 x 5 1/2
Adhere the two front panels together so they measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Cut the ‘M’ section from Blueberry Bushel 11 x 4 3/4 and score on the long side @ 2 3/4, 5 1/2, 8 1/4. Burnish as valley, mountain, valley as shown above.
Decorate panels as desired: Basic White layers are 2 1/2 x 4 1/2
Panel 1 is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink using the Charming stamp set; Radiating Stitches Dies was used to die cut the heart from Masterfully Made DSP
Panel 2 is a layer of Masterfully Made DSP 2 14 x 4 1/4 on the Basic White panel
Panel 3 is the same Masterfully Made DSP pattern as the heart, cut 1 x 4 1/4 adhered to the Basic White panel. Here I will write my message.
Panel 4 is this pretty stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set, stamped with Pretty Peacock ink, stamped off once. Over that is another sentiment, this time from So Sincere stamp set (available Sep.6 in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog) in full strength Blueberry Bushel ink on the Basic White panel.
On the inside of the back of the card, I used the Gorgeously Made stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp these pretty images
Adhere the now decorated ‘M’ fold to the inside of the card front, keeping bottom edges even with card front; secure to back in same fashion.
Decorate the card front:
The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink to a Basic White scrap using the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set, then die cut with the coordinating Wonderful Thoughts Dies. This was adhered to the card front with dimensionals cut in half. Three Berry Burst embellishments were added from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.
I used another pattern of the Masterfully Made DSP to adhere to the envelope, trimmed to fit – 2 1/4 x 6.
Fun card to make! I hope you give it a try and share your photos with me.
Now, on with the hop! See what creative folks we have on our team. you won’t want to miss a single one!
OK, Hopefully I mentioned stamps, dies, embossing folders and Designer Series Papers will be available Sep 6 via the Mini 2023 Sep-Dec catalog.

Good Wednesday morning! We took our walk early this morning and it was sprinkling just a bit – and you know what, it was refreshing. :O) But you aren’t here for that… I have a really F-U-N card for you today.
What I like about this card: colors, three dimension, texture and fun fold! All these wrapped up in one :O) I used Masterfully Made DSP for each of the panels; Gorgeously Made bundle for the die cuts and sentiment; Adhesive-Backed Sequin Trio Pack and Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack; and Vellum. The card base is Berry Burst. Here’s a view from the top.
Here’s a view of the back where you add your additional message.
This was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink and the stamp is from Gorgeously Made stamp set;Basic White panel.
Envelope front and envelope back…
The envelope front was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink. The envelope flap was stamped in second generation Smoky Slate – both stamps from Gorgeously Made stamp set.

Hello Saturday! We had a couple of days of wonderful temps and now we are back to humidity. Ugh. Well, this is summer and I’m not going to wish it away! Let’s take a peek at my card for today.
I’m going to confess, I don’t know the name of this fun fold and it needs a name. Help me out here, folks – let’s name it! The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 2 1/2, 3 3/4, 6 3/4 and 8 1/4. Burnish the folds in an accordion style: mountain, valley, mountain, valley.
I used Gray Granite for my card base. The next layer is Basic White with a layer of DSP: I used Subtles and Neutrals 6×6 DSP. How these layers are attached is important: leaving a border of the card base in each case.
In the first photo, the card base border is about 1/4″ on the left, top & bottom, with the excess free. In the second photo the same is true, 1/4″ from scoreline on left and 1/4″ top & bottom b order. The final panel is smaller and the layer is Pool Party with Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party.
Now let’s decorate each panel:
Panel 1: The circle is die cut from Pool Party using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered in the center. The chicken and skateboard (from Hey Chuck stamp set) are stamped in Memento ink on Basic White and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Gray Granite, Lemon Lolly and Pecan Pie (skateboard). Both were die cut with the Hey Chuck Dies, dimensionals added and adhered to the center of the circle. The sentiment is also from Hey Chuck stamp set and stamped in Memento ink then die cut with the Gorgeously Made banner die and added with dimensionals. Three Glossy Dots Assortment in Daffodil Delight were added for sparkle.
Panel 2: Subtles 6×6 DSP in Gray Granite to the Basic White panel. Die cut the rising sun from Lemon Lolly card stock using the Hey Chuck Dies and color with a bit of Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. Stamp the fence from Hey Chuck stamp set on a scrap of One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 DSP (ONLINE EXCLUSIVES) in Memento ink and die cut with die from Hey Chuck Dies. Adhere the fence with dimensionals then slip the rising sun behind adhering with liquid glue. The final step for this panel is the sentiment stamped in Memento ink using the Hey Chuck stamp set.
Panel 3: Pool Party card stock with Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party layered together. The birthday cake from Hey Chuck stamp set is stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Pool Party and Wink of Stella on the icing. This was die cut with the smallest circle die from Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered with liquid glue. The sentiment banner was stamped on Basic White using another stamp from Hey Chuck stamp set and Memento ink. It was die cut with a banner die from Nested Essentials Dies, dimensionals added to the back and attached. The ribbon is Grosgrain Ribbon in Pool Party added under the banner with glue dots. Three Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party were added to the banner for more sparkle… and the card was done.
For the envelope… more Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. Another chicken from Hey Chuck stamp set was stamped in Memento ink on the envelope front and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Gray Granite.HINT: When coloring with Stampin’ Blends on an envelope, always slip a heavy card stock inside to prevent color bleeding through to the back of the envelope. :O)

Computers. Ugh. Mine was out of commission all day yesterday. Praying today will be a better day all around :O)
My card today is another scene using the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. But it is super simple, no real embellishments.
This particular DSP is suited for either a Mossy Meadow background or Crumb Cake, or even Early Espresso. I wanted a light color and stuck with Crumb Cake for the card base and adhered the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP directly to it. It is such a serene scene. From Basic White and the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I cut two ‘mounds’ of snow and adhered those near the bottom. I stamped the horse & sleigh image in Memento ink and colored it with several Stampin’ Blends: Lost Lagoon, Light Cherry Cobbler, Light Smoky Slate and SU 100 for the skin tone. Then I die cut the piece with the Horse & Sleigh Dies and added it to the card front with dimensionals. I die cut the sleigh rungs from Silver Foil Specialty Paper and adhered those with dots of liquid glue.
For the inside, I took a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP, stamped Boho Blue snowflakes with the appropriate stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set and adhered this to the inside of the card. I took a piece of Basic White and die cut it with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, stamped the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set and added that to the inside of the card.
For the envelope: another piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and the fun snowflake stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set + Boho ink, then adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit.
