Fall is in the air! Well, not really… but we DO have a theme challenge for our blog hop today – ‘fall frenzy’ – so here ya go… WELCOME top our hop! I’ve chosen to work with the Simply Leaves bundle (it includes the leaf punch) and Sunflower Fields 12 x 12 DSP with wonderful fall colors. The bundle is part of the Sep ONLINE EXCLUSIVES & the DSP is in the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog.

This fun fold is a flip front type. In other words, the front flips up and the next flap opens to the left. The leaves are stamped using the Simply Leaves stamp set in Old Olive on Very Vanilla, Cajun Craze on Cajun Craze and Golden Glow on Very Vanilla, then punched with the leaf punch that coordinates to make the bundle. These are available in the new Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog. The designer Series Papers used are also from this catalog and are called Sunflower Fields 12×12 DSP. There are some stunning patterns in this package – perfectly fall themed!

Measurements…

• card base 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 3 1/4 (Cajun Craze)
• flap 2 1/2 x 6 1/4 scored at 5 1/2 (Cajun Craze)
  • add the flap to the back right section of the card base practically centering. The score should be slightly above the cut edge so the flap can fall in place appropriately.
• Decorate
  • Front flap – DSP 2 3/8 x 5 3/8 – Sunflower Fields DSP; punched leaves as mentioned above, on dimensionals; sentiment on Very Vaniila, stamped in Early Espresso ink 3/4 x 2 1/4 using the Simply Leaves stamp set; attach to Cajun Craze 3/8 x 3 then add dimensionals & attach. Final touch on the flip front – five (5) Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems
  • front left panel – Very Vanilla 3 1/8 x 5 3/8 + DSP 3 x 5 1/4 – – Sunflower Fields DSP
  • inside – Very Vanilla4 1/8 x 5 3/8 + 1 x 5 1/4 DSP attached to it. Stamp in Golden Glow the checkered leaves – from Simply Leaves stamp set

For the envelope… More of the Sunflower Fields 12×12 DSP on the flap trimmed to fit. For the front, the same checkered leaf stamped in Golden Glow ink.

New week – new item in the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog and a fun layout. The layout uses 1/2″ strips of DSP – I chose the Artisan Sketched Garden 12×12 DSP and backed it with Hydrangea Hue and Basic Black and layered these right to the NEW Softly Woven 3D embossing folder. These are all added to the Basic White Thick card base. Before we go any further, let’s take a peek at the card.

See that wonderful texture in the background? And the sentiment is from the Greeting For All Mix & Match set. I popped in on dimensionals to the Basic White punched sentiment base (Heartfelt Hexagon Punch). Using the same punch I created another in Hydrangea Hue then cut it in half & layered it to the back of the Basic White piece. Behind that is a NEW 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Secret Sea & Gold. Final touch for the front… three 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Hydrangea Hue.

For the inside… I colored the image of the vase (from one of the sheets in the Artisan Garden 12×12 DSP) with Shimmer pens: Hydrangea Hue, Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine. After fussy cutting it from the paper, I added dots of liquid glue and attached it to a Basic White panel.

For the envelope… another piece of Artisan Garden 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The simple sentiment is from the Extraordinary Life stamp set. I love the simplicity of this card – and the layout could be used for so many of the Designer Series Papers Stampin’ Up! offers.

Measurements:

• Card base 11 x 4 1/4 scored @ 5 1/2
• Embossed layer 4 x 5 1/4
• layer 4 3/8 x 3 1/8
• layer 4 1/4 x 3
• strips – 7, 1/2 x 3 1/2, trim after adding to layer
• inside – 4 x 5 1/4
• envelope flap 2 1/4 x 6

OK – on to my card for today… it’s a birthday card and by all rights should be red, white & blue to celebrate our 250th.except it isn’t. Let’s take a peek.

I used Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP to give this card a look of a real balloon. Of course it’s stamped with stars all over the front, WOW! Basics embossing powder in white then heat set. I made it off-center too – and it’s a shaped card so it opens. I tied three twine on the bottom – colored with Stampin’ Blends in Lemon Lolly & Pool Party. The sentiment banner is die cut using the Bordered in Beauty Dies but stamped with Balloon Festoon stamp set. I took my Pool Party marker & outlined it with squigles & dots. 😀 The embellishments Array of Dots in Pretty Peacock.

How to do the shaped card trick? Have the die over the fold line & die cut both card stock layers together.

You can see in the photo above left, the inside of the card. I used the next smaller balloon die & Basic White, then trimmed off the balloon end. Then I stamped all over in various color inks: Lost Lagoon, Lemon Lolly, Barely Blush & Pool Party. These follow the colors on the balloon front. The sentiment is from Balloon Festoon stamp[ set in Pool Party ink & fussy cut with paper snips.

The photo above right shows the envelope back – another paper in the pack of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. Such a fun shaped card! We’re doing this & other shaped cards in my card class July 2

Welcome, welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday blog hop. We have some fun creations for you to see today – and we have a sketch challenge. I’m giving some love to a bundle I haven’t used called Springtime Scenes – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE from March (which seems like ages ago already!). It has some wonderful images & dies. And I’m using a retiring 6×6 Designer Series Paper called Thoughtful Journey.

Feel free to use 2 pieces of the DSP in order to capture everything you want in your images. On one layer, die cut the largest circle that has leaves from the Springtime Scenes Dies. Add several layers of card stock behind it to build up layers and adhere them together. Cut the other piece of Thoughtful Journey to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 then position the leaf circle die cut and note where it fits , then cut this second panel so the strip is 1 7/8 x 4 1/8 and the leaf image can fit perfectly in alignment. Now cut two circles using the Stylish Shapes Dies from both the first panel of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and from card stock & layer these together. When I cut these, they butted up against the original die cut. I adhered these to the card. The banner is stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink from a scrap of this same panel of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP then die cut with a banner die from Stylish Shapes Dies. I added it with dimensionals. Final steps: a double Linen Thread bow attached with a glue dot and five 2026-2028 In Color butterflies. I love, love, love these butterflies.

For the inside of the card I took this fabulous leaf die from Springtime Scenes Dies and a scrap of this same Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP & die cut the leaves, added liquid glue and attached it to a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel and adhered this to the inside of the card. Done!

For the envelope – two things… another piece of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP cut 2 14 x 6 & attached to the flap and trimmed to fit. For the front I stamped this gorgeous single leaf in Mossy Meadow & used a Blender Pen to move the ink. 😀 Fun, huh? And this card is ready to send!

WooHoo – it’s Tuesday and Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group! We have a them challenge today – ‘for the girls/ ladies’ and we can interpret that in whatever way. I’m making a card for a special friend who has just had a knee replacement – so something pretty & oooh, ahhh. This fun fold does that – It’s a Pop-out Window card and a Sneak Peek of new stamp set bundle & coordinating DSP. For the cutout, I chose to use Scalloped wishes Dies. These will be available for purchase May 5! Lily of the Valley & it’s suite of products is part of the May-August 2026 Catalog. Scalloped Wishes is an ONLINE Exclusives. You can those near the bottom of my post.

This Designer Series Paper is called Valley in Bloom and this piece is exceptionally pretty, at least I think so. The entire card front is covered in it, adhered to the Granny Apple Green card base. With the DSP adhered to the card front, I I used the largest of the Scalloped Wishes Dies to die cut this scalloped piece. When I removed the die cuts I made certain the DSP was adhered to the background card stock. I set these pieces aside to work on the inside, which is the working mechanism of this fun fold.

This is the inside that makes this a pop-out window card. I used Basic White cut 8 x 5 1/4, scored on the long side at 2 1/2, 4 1/2 & 6 1/2. Burnish the score lines as shown above. It’s easiest to stamp & decorate prior to adhering this to the card base. It’s that first section that get’s stamped with a greeting or an image. And the last section that get’s trimmed so it doesn’t cover the opening. And depending on the die used to make that opening will determine the trimming. For this opening it is trimmed to the score line leaving about 3/4″ at the top and about 1″ at the bottom. It’s pretty clear in this image.

Here is the decorated inside: I stamped the lily image in Garden Green ink and used a Blender Pen to move the ink on the leaves only. The next panel is cover in Valley in Bloom DSP 1 7/8 x 5 1/4. The next panel has the die cut adhered to it. 😀.

Steps in adhering the inside to the card base:

• Adhere the largest of the folded panels to the inside of the card, creating equal edges on three sides.
• The next panel is folded against the adhered piece, leaving the other panels flat.
• Add adhesive to the small strips and close the front of the card – see photo below

• With the card front closed, add adhesive to the folded Basic White panel and attach die cut. The card should open & close easily

Now finish decorating the card front. i stamped this sentiment on Basic White using the new Black Hybrid ink pad and a stamp from the Lily of the Valley stamp set. I punched it out using the Triple Banner Punch, adhered it with a dimensional and trimmed the overlapping end. I added a single Shimmering Dot in Coastal Cabana to the sentiment. The butterfly is die cut from a scrap of the Valley in Bloom DSP, then I used a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend to add color. The body is die cut from Basic Black and both were adhered together then attached directly to the card front. I added a single Shimmering Dot to the back, again in Coastal Cabana. I added three more Shimmering Dots to the card front, this time in the green.

Welcome to Thursday and the Happy Inikin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today – very spring oriented I might add. Yes, counting the days to Spring! I’ve CASEd a card from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog and am using a gorgeous suite of products called the Lovely & Beautiful Suite, pages 22-27.

I began with Peach Pie card stock, regular A2 card and added a layer of Lovely & Beautiful SDSP to the front. I pulled out the coordinating Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack & found this single flower & various leaves. I colored the one leaf with Stampin’ Blends Old Olive. For the flower, I colored with Petal Pink & Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends. I added a mini dimensional to the center of the flower & attached it to the card, then using glue dots, slipped the leaves underneath. I cut a length of 3/8″ Gold & White Ribbon with Stampin’ Seal, under the flower. I pulled out the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set & stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, stamping it with Wow! Embossing Powder in white & heat set it – on Petal Pink card stock. I trimmed this down and fussy cut the rest – to bring attention to the sentiment, then added dimensionals and attached it to the front. Final touch… three Pearlized Faceted Circles in white

For the inside… not sure how I want to use this card just yet – birthday, anniversary, wedding … so I added this corner pieces from the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack. I’ll add my sentiment later.

For the envelope… more of the checkered pattern from the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP was attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. Want to purchase these products? Now is the perfect time! See the information below in how to do that.

Please take time to visit all those participating in today’s hop – lots of inspiration and creativity.

Hello everyone! It’s Thursday and the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop is ON IT! We have a fun theme challenge to day and I chose to play with the Sweet Bugs bundle and it’s coordinating Cute As A Bug DSP. And just so you know I know… I titled this card incorrectly… it’s really and Interlocking Z-Fold!

This bundle and it’s coordinating suite of products are just adorable. I could NOT quit playing… meaning my card for Friday is also from this set of products 😁 These are from the Jan- Apr 2026 Mini Catalog… and here we are mid February already. Look at those darling ladybug embellishments – so stinking cute! There are three. And those ants are die cut from the DSP. To do the arches I used the Arches Dies. Here’s how to make this card…

• The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 – Mossy Meadow
• The DSP on the card front is 4 x 5 1/4 – Cute As a Bug 12×12 DSP: add to the card front with glue only on the rims of the DSP – no glue in center
• Using the 4th from largest Arches Dies, place in the center of the card & cut through both layers. Separate the two center papers putting the DSP portion to the side.
• The Very Vanilla ‘liner’ is 4 x 8 scored on the long side at 1 1/2 & 3 1/2, burnished like a Z (mountain, valley)
• Add the Very Vanilla to the inside of the card, adhering the largest portion to the inside of the card base.
• Close card, folding the Very Vanilla in it’s intended Z. Place the Mossy Meadow part of the die cut arch in the die cut opening. Now remove it and add glue to the 1 1/2 Z showing in the opening and put the Mossy Meadow piece back in the opening. Now decorate this Mossy Meadow arch!
  • Using the next smaller arch, die cut a picture from the Cute As a Bug DSP – I chose this piece. This was added to the Mossy Meadow piece. I die cut the ants from another page of the Cute As A Bug DSP, put mini dimensionals on the backs of each ant & attached them. I added a Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes to the stem of the dandelion poof.
• When closing the card front, you will notice two more of the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes.

• I also decorated that inside lower Very Vanilla panel with a die cut worm holding a leaf umbrella – how cute is that?! I attached it after adding a 5/8 x 4 strip of the same DSP – and finally another Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes. 👍
• There is absolutely no sentiment on this card, so it can be used for any occasion. Love that! While I don’t show it, I did add a 4 x 5 14 panel of Very Vanilla to the back of the card to write more of my message.
• You will also notice I added DSP to the upper inside of the card – cuz… honestly folks, I did a boo boo & this covered it! 🤓

For the envelope… yet another of the die cut ants from the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP was adhered to the envelope front. I used another piece of the Cute As A Bug DSP pack to cut a piece 2 1/4 x 6 and adhere to the flap & trimmed it to fit. This is just so casual and so fun… who can resist!
