Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Kisses for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Welcome to our Thursday blog hop! You may have come from the fabulous Tara and seen her fun creation – & now you are here. We have a sketch challenge today & I have chosen to use the Snowflake Kisses bundle and Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper to show off the beautiful snowflakes. I hope you like!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Blog Hop Sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses card front

I began by die cutting several snowflakes from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. It has three colors: silver, blue and gray – I’m using the first two – the silver & blue. I’ve also chosen to use the Traditional Labels Dies for the center die cuts in Cloud Cover & Basic White. The sentiment is stamped in Azure Afternoon with the Snowflake Kisses stamp set. The ribbon is Silver Edged Ribbon in Misty moonlight.

The card base is Cloud Cover with an added layer of Azure Afternoon just a bit smaller. Then I added a strip of Peaceful Garden DSP upon which I layered the snowflakes & the sentiment panel in the center. Only this sentiment banner is on dimensionals. As you can see, I layered the larger die cut snowflakes and I also colored three of the Faceted Snowflakes with a Stampin’ Blends Dark Azure Afternoon. The other two I left uncolored.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses inside card

For the inside… I added a strip of the same Peaceful Garden DSP as is on the front to a Basic white panel & adhered an additional die cut snowflake from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. I added the extra little bits of die cuts from one of the snowflakes – simply because they were available & I wanted to use them. 😀

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses card & envelope

For the envelope… I adhered the last of the die cut snowflakes from the the Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper (in silver) to the front of the envelope & added a starry piece of Peaceful Garden DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. Finis!

This is another one of those cards that is so flexible – this time because of the sentiment on the front & no sentiment on the inside. If needed, I could stamp – ‘thinking of you’ or ‘happy birthday’ or ‘just because’ – and it is easily a masculine card as well. Don’t you love the versatility??? Thanks so much for stopping by.

Now… on with the hop… choose the next button or click on a name – either one, be sure to visit everyone! Happy Hopping.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Multi Panel Fun Fold

Posted on by
4

Hello, hello – It’s Saturday and an absolutely gorgeous day. I’m hoping to get some yard work done – yay! So… my cards for today are a fun fold and use the Charming Day bundle and it’s coordinating Designer Series Paper – Floral Charm 12×12. I really like how they turned out – hope you do as well. I’m going to share both cards and in the info at the bottom of the post I’ll list the different colors & embellishments, Stampin’ Blends – like that. The directions are exactly the same for both.

Stampin' Up! Charming Day Multi Panel Fun Fold in Blackberry Bliss
Stampin' Up! Charming Day Multi Panel Fun Fold in Bubble Bath

Card 1. Card 2

The card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 2 1/8, 4 1/4 and 6 3/8. This creates four panels all the same width. Burnish these score lines mountain, valley, mountain. Decorate each panel with a card stock layer then a DSP layer: cs layer1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (cut 4); DSP layer1 3/4 x 5 1/8 (cut 4). When cutting the designer series paper, I make certain it’s a flow of the design that creates a picture. Set this aside and work on the front section.

The front… this card stock is cut 6 x 4 & scored at 3, creating two even sections. Burnish score line. Decorate both with a coordinating DSP layer 2 3/4 x 3 3/4. The left section is the side with the added layers of decoration while the right is used for your written message. The section on the right, add a Basic White piece cut 2 5/8 x 3 5/8. Let’s work on further decorating these two sections.

  • Stamp the large floral image using the Charming Day stamp set with Memento ink, stamping two images. Also stamp the small leaf image two times.
  • Color w/ Stampin’ Blends:
    • Card 1 – Blackberry Bliss & Fresh Freesia for the flowers; Light Crumb Cake & SU 300 on the leaves. I used these colors to coordinate with the background DSP. I added Wink of Stella to the flowers, die cut the image and set aside. Color one of the small leaf images using the same colors, die cut & set aside.
  • Stamp the small flower w/ leaves from the Charming Day stamp set – stamping twice in Memento ink.
  • For card 1 – color the flower in Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends, and the leaves in Light Crumb cake & SU! 300. Add Wink of Stella to the flower. Die cut & set aside.
  • Card 2 – large floral image: Bubble Bath for the flowers, Light Old Olive and Light Pretty Peacock for the leaves. TIP: for the leaf color combination I colored one leaf with both colors before moving on to the next leaf. This way the inks were still wet and blended really well. Add Wink of Stella to the flowers, die cut & set aside. Color the 2nd small leaf image using the same comb & same combination of Light Old olive & Light Pretty Peacock, die cut & set aside. Remember the tip of coloring one leaf at a time!
  • Card 2 – small floral image: color flower with Bubble Bath & leaves in same combination of Light Old Olive & Light Pretty Peacock – and remember the tip… add Wink of Stella to the flower, die cut & set aside.

Attach front panels to each card:

Stampin' Up! Charming Day Multi Panel Fun Fold side view card 1
Stampin' Up! Charming Day Multi Panel Fun Fold Side view card 2
  • With the larger card base folded on itself, add the front section. I used my grid paper to make certain the finished card was no wider than 4 1/4″, so it would fit in the standard A2 envelope. Adhere one side down, then the other side.
  • Add extras… Card 1 – I used Everyday Arches Dies to cut a Basic White piece to make the flowers stand out and adhered. The large floral bouqwuet was attached w/ dimensionals and the small leaf spray was added with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from Charming Day stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink, then added two Purple Fine Shimmer Gems. For the other side of this card, I added the small single flower w/ leaves w/ liquid glue.
  • Card 2 was done in the very same fashion – except that I used Textured Notes Dies for the Basic White panel, Berry Burst ink for the sentiment and Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots for added embellishment.

Envelope… Coordinating DSP on flaps were added & trimmed to fit. On the front O stamped that sweet small flower and colored each as described above for the individual card. Creating two cards at once was really easy & fun as well. Same layout just different colors.

This is what the card looks like from the top. It stand beautifully for display.

Questions about how to make this card? Connect with me… but I think you will find this a pretty easy card to make. This design/ layout would make a great masculine card – in other DSP patterns & different bundle of course. It would also make a fabulous Christmas card.

Ok – so what’s next… how about purchasing SU! products – need to do that? Stampin’ Up! has kits available for purchase, ONLINE EXCLUSIVES, a Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog full of SU! products – and of course the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
13

Happy Thursday – and welcome to our fun hop! We have a sketch challenge today that suggests lots of opportunities. I have chosen to use the Delicate Pines Bundle and Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP to create a pretty Christmas card.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines Christmas Card front

I used Old Olive for my card base and added a layer of Secret Sea then Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP. I added a strip of Secret Sea to follow the sketch challenge. I then fussy cut this pretty snowflake from the designer series paper. I set this aside while die cutting several pine boughs from Cloud Cover card stock. I attached some to the back of the snowflake with Stampin’ Seal, punched a circle with the 2 3/8″ circle punch from Secret Sea card stock to add to the back for stability and to hold the fragile pine boughs in place. I added dimesnionals to this and attached it to the card front. I slipped in more pine boughs where I though the card needed them, attaching with dabs of liquid glue. As a final touch, I added a single red Faceted Snowflake to the center.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines C'mas card inside

For the inside… on the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Delicate Pines bundle in Shaded Spruce ink then stamped the oh so beautiful pine branches in Old Olive ink that I added secret Sea ink with a sponge dauber. This was added to the Secret Sea card stock panel then to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines C'mas card & envelope

For the envelope… more Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I used the same beautiful pine bough from Delicate Pines stamp set, inked it with Old Olive ink then used a sponge dauber to create depth & interest. Done!

To me, this is a very masculine card… and I like that! I find it rather difficult to create a masculine type card for most occasions. 🥴 Now… before you get on with the hop, card cuts are listed below as well as a way to purchase these products and other Stampin’ Up! products from me.

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

Posted on by
2

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.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth fun fold card & envelope

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.

Want to purchase these items?

Stampin’ Up! Card 2 with Patterned Tags Dies

Posted on by
4

Hello, hello… I can’t help it… I’ve been nplaying with the Patterned Tags Dies and I just can’t quit! This is my 2nd card using this Patterned Tags Dies as the focal point. Her ua go…

Stampin' Up! Card 2 w/ Patterned Tags Dies

Can you read the sentiment? Cuz – I can’t read it in this photo… which means I have to fix that… In real life with the card in front of me, I have no problem with what it reads, but the photo is another issue… So, I’m going to just move on and tell you how I created this card.

The card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Basic White embossed with the Basics 3D embossing folder called Hobnail Glass Dots, It’s a pack of three listed as Basics 3D embossing folders in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. With that done, I set about creating the focal point… Real Red is layered with Cloud Cover, then seven (7) strips of Peaceful Gardens DSP. (Card cuts are listed at the end of this post.) I wrapped Silver 1/8″ Trim around in three places and attached in back with Tear n Tape. I then die cut the tag using the Patterned Tags Dies: Cloud Cover, Basic White and Real Red, and adhered things together. I added the Silver 1/8″ trim to the top of the tag. I then ran a Basic White piece through the Christmas Words Hybrid Embossing Folder w/ Dies to create several sentiments. I backed this particular sentiment with Real Red and attached it to the tag. The tag was attached to the card front w/ dimensionals – and voila…

Stampin' Up! Gift of Joy inside of card

For the inside of the card – really simple… I stamped the Basic White with the Gift of Joy stamp set in Cloud Cover ink and Real Red ink, then attached the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Card 2 w/ Patterned Tags Dies card & envelope

For the envelope… I embossed the flap using the same Basics 3D embossing folder – Hobnail Glass Dots, then stamped the image using the Gift of Joy stamp set on the envelope front: Coud Cover ink & Real Red ink.

These products may be found in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog, ONLINE EXCLUSIVES & the Annual Catalog. See below for the images to place an order. You may find those items below, go directly to my store to purchase.

For every order of $50 & above from 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. Get double daisy patch rewards too. Daisy Patch rewards is my way of thanking my customers for shopping with me.

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.

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.

For every order of $50 & above from today Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial, but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers. Get double daisy patch rewards too.

Stampin’ Up! Prairie Grass and Thoughtful Journey

Posted on by
4

Good Tuesday, Sep 2 and 55 degrees here at the shore in NJ – not typical weather for this early in the month. When the kids return to school it is usually hot as blazes. But not this year… My card today is more than just thinking of you; it’s recognizing that life is not always easy. I used the Prairie Grass stamp set from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES – it’s available to customers now. It’s become a favorite for things peaceful, restful, reassuring.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey, & Prairie Grass

I cut 1″ strips of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP (1 x 5 3/8) and added them to a Basic White background. Next I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Prairie Grass stamp set. I took a length of Mossy Meadow & Gold trim, wrapped it around and tied a knot, securing it with a glue dot. I then added three Low Profile Sparkle Dtos under the sentiment. Finally, I added a single Adhesive-Backed Dragonfly. This completed front panel was added to a Mossy Meadow card base.

For the inside of the card, I stamped this grassy image four times across the bottom with Mossy Meadow ink. And yes, the stamp comes from Prairie Grass stamp set. I added three more of the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies as they are very flat and so appropriate for this grassy scene. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card and voila – this card is ready to send.

Stampin' Up! Prairie Grass and Thoughtful Journey card & envelope

For the envelope… yet another panel of the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. Again on the front, I stamped the same grassy image in Mossy Meadow ink from Prairie Grass stamp set to carry out the theme. This card will be sent today to a friend of mine who lives near the beach and diagnosed with ALS. Such an awful disease….

Tomorrow, Wednesday Sep 3, the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog will be open to ordering by customers – AND – there are some fabulous new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products that can be ordered as well. If you do not have a demonstrator, I’d love to help you find your creative side. Click the image below to take you to my shop for purchases.

Stampin’ Up! NEW Gathering Moments

Posted on by

Good Friday – my goodness August is flittering away – Monday is LABOR DAY! Today’s card is all about fall and it uses a September Release ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. The bundle is Gathering Moments.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments bundle
Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments card front

The card has a Basic Beige front from which I die cut the large leaf with Gathering Moments Dies. I wanted to use the Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP behind the die cut but on an angle. This meant an odd shape for cutting the DSP and it needed to be slightly smaller than the Basic Beige card front. Once I cut the DSP I added it to an Old Olive panel and that to the card base of Cajun Craze.

Stampin' Up! Old Olive w/ Timeless Plaid 6x6 DSP
Stasmpin' Up! Gathering Moments die cut w/ dimensionals on back

I put dimensionals all over the back of the die cut panel and adhered it to the the card. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink using the Gathering Moments stamp set and die cut the basic White with Textured Notes Dies. I cut a piece of Old Olive for a backing, adhered the two together and added them directly to the card front. I tied a double bow with Natural Tones Linen Thread then added three Cajun Craze and Gold Dots.

Stampin' Up! Gathering moments card front unfinished
Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments inside card

For the inside… I used the die cut that came out of the front die cut to stamp the sentiment from Gathering Moments in Cajun Craze ink. I added this to a Basic White panel then both to Old Olive then to the inside of the card base..

Stampin' Up! Gathering moments card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP on the flap trimmed to fit, then a single leaf stamped on the front: Gathering Moments stamp set in Old Olive ink. Totally fall – good for a masculine card too!

Stampin’ Up! NEW Delicate Pines for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog hop

Posted on by
9

Welcome to our weekly blog hop! We have a sketch challenge today and I’m using the Delicate Pines stamp set to create the snowflake for my centerpiece and the Snowflake Kisses Dies for the background. These are ONLINE EXCLUSIVES being released Wed. Sep 3 and are part of the Elegant Pines Snowflakes Suite of products – both are bundles. The Designer Series Paper in the suite is called Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP & it comes in the 12×12 size. It’s gorgeous – I used the ‘back side of one of the papers.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines card front

These. are so non-traditional colors that it sorta makes me second guess myself – and yet, it’s growing on me! I used the Color Wheel for help… 😀 So how to make this card.

  • Add an adhesive sheet to the Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP cut 4 x 5 1/4. Run through the cut & emboss machine to create die cut, remove backing on Adhesive Sheet and add to a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. Put dimensionals on the back and add to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
  • Cut a strip of Beautiful Bokeh 6×6 DSP 1 1/2 x 4 and add over the die cut piece.
  • Stamp the snowflake image using the Delicate Pines stamp set (remember this is also a bundle, so it has dies!) with VersaMark ink on a 3″ square of Berry Burst card stock. Sprinkle with WOW! White Embossing Powder and heat set. Once cooled, die cut with 2nd largest circle of Stitched Shapes Dies and add to card front with dimensionals.
  • Add a single embellishment in the center of the snowflake – Two-tone Sparkle Gems.
  • Card front is complete!!!
Stampin' Up! Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack card inside

For the inside… when die cutting the snowflake background, there is a center circle that also is die cut. I set it aside at the time and added it to a Basic White inside panel (4 x 5 1/4), removing the adhesive sheet to attach it. The Greetings For All Seasons Mix & Match Ephemera pack has the perfect sentiment – and I added it with liquid glue. As a final touch, I added two more of the Two-Tone Sparkle Gems next to the sentiment. I added the panel to the inside of the card – and one & done!

For the envelope… pictures below… I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink using the Delicate Pines stamp set on the front of the envelope. For the flap, I added more of the Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP and trimmed to fit. As I said… it’s growing on me 😀

To continue on the hop, click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name. Enjoy – you will be amazed at the creations!
