Stampin’ Up! Pocket Card with Pop Up Petals & Timeless Plaid DSP

Posted on by

Hello wonderful stampers – it’s Monday Feb 16 & I’m placing my order today for those of you who shopped with me these past couple of weeks – all those adhesives that are available through Stampin’ Up! I’m also sharing this sweet card that will be included with the adhesives… as a thank you for shopping with me.

Stampin' Up! Pocket Card w/ Pop-Up Petals

The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Old Olive layered with Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP 4 x 5 1/4. I took another panel of Old Olive 1 3/4 x 4 and attached it on three sides to the card base – leaving the upper area open, as in an pocket. 😀 I stamped a sentiment from Pop-Up Petals stamp set in Misty Moonlight and die cut it with a Textured Notes Die and attached it to that lower panel with dimensionals. For the cute card for the pocket, I cut Basic Beige 6 x 4 1/4 & scored it at 3 (on the long side). I stamped the vase & flowers from Pop-Up Petals stamp set in Misty Moonlight. I colored the leaves with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends, the flowers with Timid Tiger & Crumb Cake using the stamps in the Pop-Up Petals stamp set – so easy! I then die cut both the vase & the flowers with the coordinating Pop-Up Petals Dies. I stamped a sentiment on a Basic White scrap with another sentiment in Pop-Up Petals stamp set and attached it at the bottom of the Basic Beige card front. I attached the vase with dimensionals, then the flowers, slipping the stems into the top of the vase and dimensionals behind the flowers. I added three metallic Adhesive-Backed Butterflies, then a bow tied with Bakers Twine Essentials Pack and Natural Tones Linen Thread in dark blue – a very sweet card front.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Petals pocket card inside

For the inside of this pocket insert… a Basic White panel 2 3/4 x 4 stamped with Misty Misty Moonlight ink – both the butterfly & the flowers are from Pop-Up Petals stamp set. Again, the same coloring as the card front: Timid Tiger & Crumb Cake inks & Stampin’ Blends Old Olive for the leaves. Now fold this in half and insirt into the pocket in the card base front – yay!

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Petals card & envelope

For the envelope…n the flower bundle stamped on the card front, first full strength, then a couple more times without re-inking. This makes it look as though it is a large bouquet!! On the flap, another piece of the Timeless Plaid adhered & trimmed to fit.

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! Impressions Ablooms Apreciation Card

Posted on by
2

Today’s card has a bit of modern look to it and uses most of the new In Colors for 2025-2027: Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and for the sentiments… Secret Sea. The flowers are a two-step stamp, meaning they have an outline stamp & a filler stamp. For the flowers on this card, I only used the outline stamp. An additional color was used for the stems/ leaves and that is Granny Apple Green. And of course, Wink of Stella in all the flower centers :O) This layout was given to us at the convention a few weeks back.

The card base is Timid Tiger in an A2 size, folded in half. The layer (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) is stamped then cut in two directions on diagonals, then attached to the card front leaving the card base to show through and the excess of the layer removed. It sounds a little funky doesn’t it, but it works! A little explanation maybe… it’s necessary to begin with a layer that is the full size so the layers fit nicely into the corners. When adhering the layer, I kept the separation as even as possible, using my grid paper to help. I began attaching with the left top piece, which needed no trimming. Then I adhered the bottom left panel, keeping the left edge even with the card fold. This meant there was excess at the bottom to be removed when all panels are on. I added the top right layer even at the top but left that gap between & used my grid paper for straightness. Last panel to attach, bottom right. Where is the excess to remove: right side and bottom & you can use your paper trimmer for that by turning the card over and lining up the card base edge. Perfect! Sentiment- stamp in Secret Sea ink on Darling Duckling card stock, trim and add to card front with dimensionals. This particular sentiment is all one, so I taped off the various words to ink up each word separately and I wanted to angle the cut as well. The embellishments are the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Timid Tiger.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Appreciate You card front

The inside… a panel cut 4 x 5 1/4 then stamped: Timid Tiger for the flower, Darling Duckling for the center and Granny Apple Green for the stem/ leaves. And yes, Wink of Stella added to the flower center.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Appreciation card& envelope

For the envelope, I stamped the flower both on the card front & on the flap in Timid Tiger with the center in Darling Duckling and Wink of Stella also in the centers. I am loving the new In Colors and hope you are as well.

These items will all be available May 6 when the new catalog goes live to the customers. I hope you, my customers, have received the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. If you have not, reach out to me so that can be remedied. :O)

Remember too, that today, April 15, is the day the new Stampin’ Rewards program goes into effect. That means things will be shut down for a bit so the computers can do their task… and when everything goes back on again, you, the customer will have a fresh start.  You’ll be earning 10% rewards with all orders of $20+, a 10% reward that can be used on your next order! YAY! And what’s also really neat – you can save those rewards & use them all at once – or a bit at a time – they are GOOD FOR A WHOLE YEAR! Make sure you have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn & redeem those rewards.

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks Card

Posted on by

Impressions Abloom is one of the new bundles in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog – and it’s wonderful. This card was one inspired by the After Hours program at the Stampin’ Up! Convention recently. I confess it’s a direct CASE of one in the After Hours booklet :O)

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks card front

This card begins with a Crumb Cake card base, standard A2 size. Several pieces of Crumb Cake were trimmed down for layering with Perennial Lavender DSP. This DSP is a carry over 12×12 paper and is gorgeous. What you are seeing here is a checkered pattern. Notice how the edges of both the Crumb Cake pieces and the DSP pieces have frayed edges. That was done by holding the scissors at an angle on each piece and ‘scratching’ down the side. It sometimes even tears a bit, which is ok. It gives it a country look. Each of the flower heads is stamped in Darling Duckling ink then die cut with the appropriate die with two layers per flower head. The centers are stamped with Pecan Pie ink then Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle in the centers. The stems & leaves are die cut using this same Impressions Abloom bundle – using Granny Apple Green card stock. These were attached to the card front, then the flowers heads added with dimensionals. The tiny flowers were die cut from Basic White then a Stampin’ Blends in Daffodil Delight colored the center. These were added with dots of liquid glue. A double bow was created using the Gold thread and attached with a glue dot. The sentiment was stamped in Pecan Pie ink, an edge torn and added with dimensionals.

Here’s a photo of all the daisy die cuts:

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom daisy die cuts
Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom card inside

For the inside…

I stamped the daisy image in Darling Duckling ink and the centers in Pecan Pie – same as the card front. I stamped the sentiment, also from Impressions Abloom stamp set, in Pecan Pie ink. The panel was added to the inside of the card.

The envelope …

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom card & envelope

More of the Perennial Lavender 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The very same flower from Impressions Abloom stamp set was stamped on the envelope front: Darling Duckling for the flower and Pecan Pie for the center. And of course, Wink of Stella was added to the center :O) This would be a great birthday or hello card – just change the sentiment. It’s cheerful – a real lift me up kind of card.

This bundle and DSP will be available May 6, both in the ONLINE Exclusives AND in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. Remember too, the Stampin’ rewards are changing as well. – no more HOST CODES, but customers will begin receiving rewards with a $20 purchase – and that reward can be used toward their NEXT purchase. It’s quite a nice deal.

Stampin’ Up! w/ Thoughtful Journey DSP & Emboss Resist

Posted on by

Good morning, good morning! It’s cool this AM – 57 – after a couple of days of 100% humidity and 87 temps. This feels much more refreshing :O) Thursday was my card class and we did a window z-fold card, similar to what I posted a week or so ago, which you see here. I’m hooked on this style card – just sayin’. I needed a couple of cards – thank you and another for a friend recovering from surgery – and here’s what I did.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey Window z-fold Thank You

I really like the colors of the thank you card with the Misty Moonlight card base than the other card. However, when making a card for a specific person, and the card on the right was, we follow what would be best for them. The card cuts and basic directions are the same for both cards. The main difference is the inside on the second card using the emboss resist technique. The Stitched Shapes Dies were used for the circles and the banner die cuts.

Stampin' Up! Window z-fold and emboss resist technique

I stamped the partial image of these flowers in VersaMark ink using the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set – re-inking and stamping across the bottom five times. I sprinkled white embossing powder over the image, heat embossed with the heat tool and let it cool for a bit. Once cool, I took a Blending Brush and Boho Blue ink and with swirling/ circling strokes went over the stamped images. Here’s a close-up.

Stampin' Up! Emboss Resist Technique

I love this effect and it mimics the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP. I stamped the sentiments in Fresh Freesia ink using the Unbounded Love stamp set.

Here’s the inside of the ‘thanks’ card.

On this card I stamped the partial image in Wild Wheat ink, mimicking the image on the front of this card. I used a Blending Brush and Misty Moonlight ink to add color over this.

Stampin' Up! Window z-fold thank you card & envelope

After stamping the image on the inside of the card and not really ‘sold’ on the image, I looked over my stamps and found another image I liked better to use on the envelope front. I stamped it in Whisper White ink then heat set it since it is a pigment ink and takes a bit to dry. I then used that same Blending Brush that I had used on the inside with Misty Moonlight ink and colored over the image. In person, the image is obvious – in the photo it is not. The stamp set used for that was the Charming Ducks stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Encircled in Nature Thank You card

Time change – how you doing with it? Today’s card uses an ONLICE EXCLUSIVE bundle called Encircled in Nature and I’m really liking it. I also pulled out some card stocks from the Annual Catalog I hadn’t used in a while: Rose Gold Specialty DSP and 23-25 In Color Luster Specialty DSP.

Stampin' Up! Encircled in Nature thank You card front

See the reflection on the card stock? Part of that is because it’s sparkly and created a reflection when the bulb flashed. The card base itself is Boho Blue cut in a standard A2 size. The Basic White layer is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and the Boho Blue 23-25 In Color Luster SDSP is 4 x 5 1/4. The wreath is die cut from Rose Gold SDSP and is beautiful. The die cut flowers off to the left are die cut from 23-25 In Color Luster SDSP Wild Wheat & Boho Blue and Basic White card stock. The floral spray is stamped on Basic White in Memento ink using the Encircled in Nature stamp set, then colored with Stampin’ Blends: Highland Heather, Orchid Oasis, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Color Lifter .All the die cuts use this new and fabulous Encircled in Nature Dies. The bow is a double bow tied with Baker’s Twine three-Color Pack from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The sentiment comes from the Encircled in Nature stamp set and is stamped in Orchid Oasis ink on a Basic White strip It was attached with dimensionals. I added three Iridescent Foil Gems.

The inside of the card has more of the die cuts flowers from 23-25 In Color Luster SDSP in Wild Wheat & Boho blue + Basic White card stock. These were adhered with liquid glue. A strip of the 23-25 In Color Luster SDSP in Boho Blue was added to the bottom.

Stampin' Up! Encircled in Nature thank you card & envelope

Because the card itself looks very Victorian to me, I pulled out the Poetic Expressions DSP in Boho Blue & added it to the envelope flap. This DSP comes from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I stamped the leaf image from the Encircled in Nature stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink.

Stampin’ Up! ‘NEW” Stippled Roses for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Thursday! And since it’s a Thursday – it means another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop :O) We have a sketch challenge today.

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop 12/7

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop, front

Is this DSP beautiful, or what?! It’s called Softly Stippled DSP and is in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The leaves are all die cut with the Stippled Roses Dies using the Distressed Gold SDSP and they take my breath away – so much detail!. I used these to create the vertical line element of this sketch. The bottom line is made with another of the Softly Stippled DSP cut at 1″ for the width of the background DSP. I folded a length of Burlap Ribbon (from Real Red & Burlap Ribbon combo pack) and attached it in place with several glue dots. It sits behind the sentiment: stamped in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White using a stamp from Stippled Roses stamp set, then die cut with the Perennial Postage Dies, another new item in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. It’s great to be able to mix stamp sets/ dies and DSP papers. This sentiment is added with dimensionals. There are two pieces of Designer Series Papers used on the card front – both from Softly Stippled DSP pack. These two were adhered together & added to the Lost Lagoon card base with dimensionals – and the card front was complete.

For the inside of the card – simplicity personified. This sweet rose was stamped in Lost Lagoon ink on the Basic white panel. I took a water painter & smoothed the ink on the leaves. The stamp is from Stippled Roses stamp set. Added three Blooming Pearls around the lower leaf.

I did the same process stamping on the envelope: Lost Lagoon ink and a water painter to smooth the ink on the leaves. The stamp is, of course, from Stippled Roses stamp set. The envelope flap got more of the Softly Stippled DSP.
