Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! We have a fantastic theme today – Evergreen Trees 😀 perfect timing, right? I’ve pulled together a card using the Painted Trees 3D EF + the Peaceful Evergreen bundle & Peaceful Season bundle to create my card for you today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Theme Challenge
Stampin' Up! Painted Trees 3D EF card front

I took this photo in hopes you would be able to see the texture provided by the embossing folder and also the Pearlized Enamel Effects that I added in various places on the trees. Can you see the Pearlized Enamel? I’m pretty certain you can see the texture – it shows easily in this photo. Let me tell you how I created this card.

Directions:

  • On a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White, I embossed the trees using the Painted Trees 3D EF. I then used a sponge dauber and dabbed Shaded Spruce ink on the tree-raised portions. With another sponge dauber & Pretty Peacock ink, I added some color, but less than with the Shaded Spruce.
  • I die cut from Basic White, the tree outline image (Peaceful Evergreens Dies), then with the dauber & Shaded Spruce ink, colored just the edges.
  • I die cut the center of the tree (Peaceful Evergreen Dies) from Winter Meadow DSP and attached it with dots of liquid glue, to the tree outline.
  • I added these to the embossed panel with dimensionals.
  • I die cut the star (Peaceful Evergreens Dies) from Season of Elegance SDSP and attached with a mini dimensional.
  • At this point, I added the Pearlized Enamel Effects to various tips of the embossed trees and to the tree on dimensionals – and set this aside to dry while creating the sentiment pieces.
  • Using the Peaceful Season Dies… I die cut from Winter Meadow DSP two banners, then die cut two from Basic White. I stamped the Merry in two different inkson the basic white pieces: the upper in Pretty Peacock and the lower in Shaded Spruce, then I cut them apart so just the center remained and attached it to the Winter Meadow DSP piece.
  • I added these to the card with mini dimensionals.
  • I added Neutral Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold to the banner.
  • I added this to a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 panel of Shaded Spruce, then to the Thick Basic White card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2

On the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink using the Peaceful Season stamp set on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. I again used the Pearlized Enamel Effects to highlight along the top of each letter of the sentiment. Then I used Shaded Spruce ink & the Peaceful Evergreens stamp set to stamp the trees along the bottom of the panel. Once the Pearlized Enamel Effgects was dry, I added the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Painted Trees 3D card & envelope

For the envelope… I used the same Season of Elegance SDSP to adhere to envelope flap, trimming it to fit, then stamped the same trees along the bottom of the envelope in Shaded Spruce ink. My hubby LOVES these trees! I like this… what do you think?

Stampin’ Up! Wreath Card

Good morning

1 We had a terrifically rainy day Thursday, which actually began Wednesday in the middle of the night. I don’t often make comments about the rain, but this was needed SO BADLY. the reservoirs were becoming quite low – and well it was a full on drought. We had 2 1/2″ Wednesday night and more rain on Thursday, so it’s starting to resolve.

I have a multi-layered wreath card for you today – created with multiple Stampin’ Up! products. I had this Basic White berry wreath die cut on my desk and several die cuts from the Graceful Greenery Vellum (die cut with the Golden Greenery Dies). I began playing around and this is my final product.

Stampin' Up! Wreath Card front

The card base is Gray Granite with a layer of Nests of Winter DSP, a very wood grain kind of effect. I was thinking the side of a barn or door front. For a foundation for the wreath shape, I pulled out the Encircled in Nature Dies. There are two dies that form a circle like shape so I used those and Old Olive card stock for that particular die cut. There are pine bough dies in the Golden Greenery Dies and I used these to die cut from Old Olive & Mossy Meadow, – 3-4 of each just to have enough to play around. I ended up trimming some of these down as they were too long. I also die cut more pine boughs from the Season of Green & Gold SDSP I used pine dies from the Encircled in Nature Dies and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper for even more color and texture. I did a lot of moving things around til it suited me then glued things in place, trying to keep depth and looseness so as not to be too flat. I laid the Basic White berry wreath on top of all of it – too white! So, I pulled out my small Blending Brush & Cherry Cobbler ink and very gently added color to various berries. Again I laid it on top of the wreath – and oh so much better! I added a double bow using the 1/4″ Cherry Cobbler Satin Ribbon and Gold Twisted Thread (a new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product!) and attached it in place with a glue dot. I thought about adding a sentiment and decided against it.

Stampin' Up! Wreath card inside

The inside of the card does not show up well in this photo – no sentiment, just a 1/2 x 4 inch strip of Season of Green & Gold SDSP at the bottom. Why no sentiment? I want to be able to say ‘thank you’ with this beautiful card, or ‘thinking of you’ or ‘Merry Christmas’, whatever is necessary at the time. And when time, I will probably stamp with Mossy Meadow ink.

Stampin' Up! Wreath Card & envelope

For the envelope… More of the same Season of Green & Gold SDSP on the flap, trimmed to fit. This is the same as the small strip on the inside of the card. I love this card – and it could easily be a masculine card too!

Stampin’ Up! Pop-Up Gift Card Fun Fold

Oh I’ve a fun gift card for you today using both the Spotlight on Nature Dies (one of my favorite die sets!) and the gorgeous Nests of Winter DSP.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Gift card

We start with a card base of Pool Party, score, burnish and adhere layers of Basic Black and Nests of Winter DSP to the top section and the lower section. Next I used one of thew gorgeous Spotlight on Nature Dies to die cut the black circle and also this sweet chickadee from the Nest of Winter DSP. I adhered the bird image to the Basic Black circle with dimensionals. I used the Stampin’ Seal+ to the back of this larger circle and added this wonderful Silver 1/8″ Trim then adhered the circle to the upper section of the card. I added three Drusy Adhesive-Backed Dots and the front was complete :O)

Stampin' Up! Pop-up Gift Card inside

For the inside… here you can see that lower front section is folded up for the inner ‘liner’ to slide into – like a pocket. And, that inner liner also has a ‘pocket’ – this time for the gift card. This basic White panel has two score lines, one at the top where it adheres to the upper section of the card and another to create the pocket for the gift card. It is also stamped using the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and Memento Black ink. What’s nice is this card can be used for Christmas or birthday or anything really. The measurements are listed below.

Measurements:

  • Card base: Pool Party – 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 3 1/2 & 9, burnishing both inward
  • Upper layers: Basic Black 4 1/8 x 3 3/8; DSP 4 x 3 3/4
  • Lower layers: Basic Black 4 1/8 x 1 7/8; DSP 4 x 1 3/4 – – once layers are in place, fold up lower section and secure in place with glue dots in each bottom inside corner. This allows the insert to slide easily.
  • Pop-up insert: Basic White 3 1/2 x 7 1/4, score @ 1/2 & 5 3/8. Burnish score lines so the 1/2″ score goes back and the bottom score is forward. Stamp upper sentiment. Decorate bottom panel of insert.
    • Basic Black: 33/8 x 1 7/8
    • DSP: 3 1/4 x 1 3/4
  • Add glue dots to bottom inside corners and close to create pocket.
  • Insert into card base pocket; add tear ‘n tape to the 1/2″ area at top and with this section open and flat, close the top of the card. Bingo – the card opens with the insert in place and ready for the gift card.

Stampin’ Up! DSP Fun Fold

Good Saturday morning! It is crisp this morning on the East coast, which made for a beautiful walk. For my card this morning, I’m using a retired DSP as the fun fold part and DSP from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog. It made for a fun creation.

Stampin' Up! DSP Fun Fold

The retired DSP is Joy of Christmas 12×12 and the birds are directly die cut from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP using the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. The birds are dimensionals on a Basic White banner die cut from the Greetings of the Season Dies. The ribbon is Cherry Cobbler Satin Ribbon. Now let’s open the card to see what’s inside.

Stampin' Up! DSP Fun Fold inside

The Basic White panel is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and comes from the Greetings of the Season stamp set – so I used the bundle on this card. The pine frond on this panel is a Shaded Spruce die cut from the Golden Greenery Dies. The larger pine branch is a die cut from the Graceful Greenery Vellum using a matched die from the Golden Greenery Dies. And because it’s vellum and see through, I added a Basic White behind it, die cut with the same die. Now let’s open this the other way to see the other side of the DSP.

Stampin' Up! DSP Fun fold, reverse side

I added this beautiful die cut in Basic White – just cuz – the panel needed something more. This also comes from the Golden Greenery Dies. And in this photo, you can see the DSP is adhered to a Cherry Cobbler base. For the measurements and card cuts, see below.

Want to remake this card? The Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog has lots of choices of 12×12 DSP that can be used. See all the items in that catalog here. Remember when shopping with me to use my host code and make sure my name is listed as your demonstrator. If your order is $50 or more, I like to send a little giftie of a stampin’ Up! item valued up to $10 and you will also receive a copy of the monthly tutorial :O). If your order is over $150, don’t use the HOST CODE as Stampin’ Up! has it’s own rewards, but I will still send that valued item & the monthly tutorial. Joining my team will afford you the opportunity to view & play with products before being sold to the public. Join with me here for more fun. Need more information? Let me help.

HOST CODE VU3NPRY9

Card cuts:

  • DSP: 4 x 12 scored @ 2 1/2 & 6 3/4. Be careful of direction as this opens from the side.

  • Inside panel: 3 3/4 x 3 3/4, Basic White for sentiment
  • additional pieces: 1 3/4 x 3 (banner); 4 x 4 (large die cut spray & backing for vellum) – all Basic White; Shaded Spruce scrap for the pine frond

Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter Thinking of You Card

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a color challenge today and it put me to the test :O). One of my favorite colors is Pool Party and pairing it with Real Red just made my day. There’s very little of Pecan Pie, but it’s in the branch, as is Early Espresso. And I used Stampin’ blends Granny Apple Green for coloring some leaves on the inside of the card. You will see some fabulous inspiration as you view everyone’s blog. Enjoy! For now, let me tell you how to re=create this beauty.

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Hop Color Challenge
Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Thinking of You

The Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP does most of the work on this card. I used a Stitched Shapes Die to create the circles of DSP and Basic White. I used the Winterly Tree Tops dies to die cut the robin with berries in it’s mouth. T
he two ribbons are Cherry Cobbler & Gold along with Shaded Spruce Satin Ribbon. Other products to create this card were the So Swirly Embossing Folder, Real Red card stock and those fun White Loose Snowflakes.

For the inside of the card… I stamped the garland image using Memento ink and the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set. I colored this with Granny Apple Green , Real Red and Pecan Pie Stampin Blends. The sentiment is from this same stamp set – Winterly Tree Tops and Memento ink. I splattered the Basic White panel with a Real Red Stampin’ Blends.

For the envelope… I added this wonderful Garden Green stripe from the Nests of Winter DSP & trimmed it to fit. On the front I added a fussy cut leaf & berry image from one of the DSP panels.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Thinking of you card & envelope

What’s extra nice about this card is that there’s nothing to indicate this is a holiday card – it could be used for a birthday or a ‘thinking of you’ after surgery, illness or a loss. It is extremely versatile.

Stampin’ Up! Glimmer Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday – and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a theme challenge today – Christmas. Love it! It could be packaging or a card or decoration. You have jumped here from the fabulous Tara or simply come here first. However you got here – welcome! I chose to use the Festive 12×12 Glimmer Paper to make my card.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop logo
Stampin' Up! 10/31 Blog Hop challenge
Stampin' Up! Glimmer Christmas Card front

This is full of glimmer and the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP, plus Spotlight on Nature Dies (one of my favorite die sets) and the Sentimental Wishes bundle.

Begin with a card base 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Add a panel of Take a Bow DSP on the card front on the bottom 1 1/2 x 3 1/4. Cut strips of Glimmer 12 x 12 Paper 1 x 6, then cutting diagonally to opposite corners. (These are Real Red and Garden Green glimmer papers.) Begin adding strips with the pointy tip at the edge of the card front, attaching just above the bottom panel of DSP. Keep adding until the card front is covered. It will look like the below photo. Notice the extra Glimmer at the top and excess DSP at the bottom?

Now turn over the card front and remove excess DSP so it’s even with the card base. :O) Now create the decorated panel that will cover those pointy tips: Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, die cut circle using Spotlight on Nature Dies; die cut another circle using same die set and Granny Apple Green card stock & adhere to Basic White circle with dimensionals. Stamp this sweet candle/ greens stamp using Sentimental Wishes stamp set & Memento ink. Color with Stampin Blends – Old Olive, Real Red, Lemon Lolly with Peach Pie at the bottom of the flame. Add Wink of Stella to candle drippings and berries. Die cut with appropriate die from Sentimental Wishes Dies. Add with dimensionals. For embellishment, add Clear Ribbon Adhesive-Backed Dots. Add to card front, making certain it does not extend beyond card when closed.

Stampin' Up! Glimmer Christmas card inside

For the inside… add a 3/4 x 5 1/2 strip of Take a Bow 6×6 DSP to the outside edge of the inside of the card. Add another strip 1/2 x 5 1/2, this time in Granny Apple Green. Stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Garden Green ink – and the card is complete!

Stampin' Up! Glimmer paper Christmas card & envelope

For the envelope – more of the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. Add the Sentimental Wishes sentiment in Garden Green ink and the card is complete! Time to count my Christmas cards… I’m pretty certain I do not have enough :O(

Stampin’ Up!Front Flap & Gate Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to the HOP! Our theme today is fun folds – and there will be some extraordinary ones, I am certain. I have chosen a tried & true front flap fun fold for today, using the WinterlyTree Tops bundle, the
Christmas Labels bundle and Nests of Winter 12 x 12 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Front Flap Fun Fold with Winterly Tree Tops - card front

I’m going to be honest, I haven’t played with this set and I’ve had it for a bit. I… LOVE… IT… The pine frame is from Basic White card stock (3 5/8 x 5) and die cut with Winterly Tree Tops Dies. The birds are fussy cut (paper snips) from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP and added with dimensionals. The background (stripes) is also from this DSP pack (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) and was layered on Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 3/8), and adhered to the Basic Black card front. I added three Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE). Let’s look at how this card opens… the front flap opens from the top to show the gatefold, below.

Stampin' Up! Front Flap & Gatefold partially open

The layers are Cherry Cobbler (2 x 5 3/8 – cut 2) and a smaller Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP (1 7/8 x 5 1/4- cut 2) and adhere together and then to the Basic Black card baseThe sentiment panel is stamped on Basic White with Cherry Cobbler ink using the Christmas Labels stamp set then die cut with the coordinating Christmas Lablels Dies. Only the left side of the label was attached to the left ‘gate’.

Here is the inside…

Stampin' Up! Front Flap  & Gate Fold, inside

The inside… a panel of Basic White (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) with another fussy cut bird from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP attached with liquid glue. This panel was added to Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 1/4) then to the inside of the Basic Black card base. All opened out the card looks like this…

Stampin' Up! Front Flap & Gate Fold fully  opened

And the envelope I kept very simple… more of the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit, and a sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Christmas Labels stamp set.

These two bundles and the DSP may be found in the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2024 Catalog. The card stock & adhesive, scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder are in the Stampin’ Up! 2024 Annual Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Bundle in Shaded Spruce

Good Saturday! What is your day like where you live? Here in New Jersey it is rainy and about 71 degrees. A day for staying inside! Wednesday I had a card class using the super fun Sophisticated Sled bundle. I love this card and this bundle…

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled card front

I used several different products to make this card, but let’s begin with the card base – Shaded Spruce 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, then trim off on the long side 2 3/4. This panel becomes the background for the sled. :O) Next
I cut pieces of Sentimental Christmas DSP and adhered them to the card base: 4 x 2 1/2 (cut 2, one for card front top and one for inside); 4 x 2 3/4 (this is my stripe panel). And since there is some overlap here, I added a strip of Shaded Spruce 1/2 x 4.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled card inside

I stamped the inside top panel in Shaded Spruce ink with a stamp from Sophisticated Sled stamp set. Back to the card front… with the DSP
adhered, I added the 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 panel removed from the card base by centering it and added adhesive just to the top portion. Now the super fun part – the sled.

  • From Silver Foil Sheet (2 x 4) die cut the sled rungs and skate bottoms
  • From Basic White (2 x 2 3/4) die cut the skate shoes and laces
  • From Country Woods DSP (2 x 3 & note the direction of the grain) die cut the sled.
  • From Full of Life DSP die cut the green leaf spray. There are two layered together here, offset, so the variegation of the DSP shows.

Putting it all together…

  • Adhere the wood-grain Country Woods sled top to the silver sled rungs. NOTE: the sled top has tiny holes on each side – line those up with the silver cross bars. There are two parts to the sled top die cut, the second does not show as it is under the green spray, but that portion used to ‘guide’ the sled if someone was riding it. (Remember those days?) Adhere this piece in place at a silver cross bar.
  • Glue the two leaf sprays together in the center only, then add to the sled ‘cross bar’ in center only.
  • Skates shoes … there is a tiny slit to insert the laces, adhere those in place; add silver ‘skate’ to shoe bottom. Add left skate shoe to sled with dimesnionals, then right skate shoe with dimensionals on bottom of skate
  • Add sled to Shaded Spruce panel with dimensionals
  • Add Add Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Backed Berries to green spray
  • Add White Loose Snowflakes as shown with dots of liquid glue. This is a bit fiddly but worth the effect/ look!

Now turn the card over to the back… to a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel, add 3 die cut snowflakes using the Frozen Edges Dies. I die cut these from scraps of the Sentimental Christmas DSP. I added Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes on each of these – in gold, copper and white, adhered the panel in place and the card was complete!

For the envelope… I cut a panel of Sentimental Christmas DSP 2 1/4 x 6 and adhered it to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I stamped the sentiment from Sophisticated Sled in Shaded Spruce ink. I stamped the bottom two times, then the final stamp on the side.

Love, love, love this card! Maybe because it brings back such fond memories of snow & sledding the hills of a golf course back home – really good memories.

LOTS GOING ON IN THE STAMPIN’ UP! WORLD – give me a few minutes to share the excitement…

Stampin’ Up! Sympathy Card with Changing Leaves Bundle

It’s funny how things come about…. I needed a sympathy card and on my desk was a 4 x 5 1/4 panel already embossed with the Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder – and I said, why not! And here’s how it turned out…

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Sympathy Card front

Gosh, this photo is not the best! Yes, the embossed panel is Crushed Curry as are the die cut leaves, and from the Changing Leaves Dies. The panel is set on dimensionals on a Copper Clay card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The two outside leaves are attached with dimensionals asa well and the middle leaf simply tucked in and adhered at the stem end, which you cannot see. The sentiment panel is Basic Beige stamped in Crushed Curry ink and die cut with a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies. The sentiment comes from Something Fancy stamp set. And the Linen Thread is a double bow slipped just under the corner of the sentiment with a glue dot. My final touch was the Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots. I love all the texture and elegance of this card.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Sympathy Card inside

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in crushed Curry ink but the message is from Hope You Know stamp set – and on a Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4 panel.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves sympathy card & envelope

For the envelope… I embossed a 2 1/4 x 6 panel of Crushed Curry card stock with the Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder, adhered it and trimmed to fit the flap. The leaf on the front of the envelope is from Autumn Expressions stamp set, stamped in Crushed Curry ink, then added Wink of Stella to the inside of the leaf. It looks very cool – again a bit of texture and glam too. And even though this is a sympathy card, the glam is not overdone. I’ve already passed this card on to the person for whom it was made – and they loved it.
