Welcome to this fabulous weekly hop. We have a theme challenge today and I’ve created a sympathy card.
For the card front, I stamped this gorgeous tree using the Loveliest Tree stamp set, Basic Gray ink and Basic White cut 3 1/2 x 4 3/4. After stamping, I used a Blending Brush to gently add color all around the edges of the card. I added this panel to Basic Gray cut 3 3/4 x 5, put dimensionals on the back and attached it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4, creating a top fold card. For this sentiment, I stamped using Basic Gray ink and the Loveliest Tree stamp set on a scrap of Basic White, then die cut it with Tailor Made Tags Dies. I used Bakers Twine Essential Pack to thread through the hole and frayed the ends. I put dimensionalson this tage and added it to the card front.
For the inside of the card, I used Basic Gray ink, but also used the Comforting Thoughts stamp set for the sentiment and the small leaf image from Loveliest Tree stamp set – stamped on a Basic White panel 3 1/2 x 4 3/4, adhered to Basic Gray 3 3/4 x 5, then popped into the inside of the card.
For the envelope… I stamped this sweet leaf image from Loveliest Tree in Basic Gray ink both on the flap and on the front of the envelope. Simple, elegant, peaceful.

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop. Today’s challenge is ‘for the boys/ men’ and I’ve created a sailing card. This is a favorite hobby for my hubby & several of his buddies – me too. Having said that – there are LOTS of women who sail so don’t discount them for competition!!!
I started with a Secret Sea card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 with the fold to the left. The Sunrise Sailing bundle includes a hybrid embossing folder, which means it embosses but can also die cut certain images with coordinating dies – and that’s what I did, I used a Basic White panel about 6×6 (the embossing folder is large), added the sailboat die cutting side up in the proper place on the embossing folder, and ran it through my die cutting/ embossing machine. And what happens? A gorgeously embossed background and a die cut sailboat. :O) With Balmy Blue ink and a Blending Brush, I gently highlighted the clouds and the bottom of the boat. I switched inks to first Misty Moonlight then Secret Sea to highlight the water with a Blending Brush. I stamped the sails of the boat with Real Red ink – still using the Sunrise Sailing stamp set. There are bird dies in this Sunrise Sailing Dies, so I cut 3 birds from Basic Black card stock, added the two to the front covering the embossed birds, and reserved the other bird for the inside of the card. I cut down the embossed Basic White panel to 4 x 5 and adhered it to a Balmy Blue 4 1/8 x 5 1/8. I added the sailboat over the opening with dimensionals. These were added to the Secret Sea card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink on a Basic White scrap, fussy cut it and added it to the card front with glue. Of course it was from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set! Final touch – 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.
For the inside… I had a leftover piece of the water that had been highlighted with Misty Moonlight & Secret Sea and adhered that to a 4 x 5. I adhered the remaining bird from the die cut birds- Sunrise Sailing Dies of course – as though it was ‘fishing’ for it’s lunch. This I added to a Balmy Blue panel 4 1/8 x 5 1/8, then to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… I embossed a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock 2 1/4 x 6 with the So Swirly embossing folder (more water image), adhered it to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front, I stamped this water image in Misty Moonlight ink then the birds in Secret Sea – these come from the Sunrise Sailing Bundle . WooHoo! Love this set – so versatile, easy to use, and fabulous.

Happy Thursday and welcome to this special hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve used the Country Woods DSP & the Textured Notes stamp set to create it.
I began with a Thick Basic White card base standard A2 size. Using the Textured Notes stamp set, I stamped these awesome leaves: the smaller ones in Crushed Curry and the larger ones in Memento ink. For the first card I cut he Country Woods DSP 1 1/4 x 5 1/2 and attached that to a panel of Basic Gray 1 1/2 x 5 12, put dimensionals on the back and added it to the card, centering the panel. My last step was to add Iridescent Floral Gems.
The sentiment is stamped in VersaMark ink using the Textured Notes stamp set, sprinkled with white WOW embossing powder & heat set it with the heat gun. I popped it up with dimensionals.
For the inside… on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4, I stamped the smaller leaves from the Textured Notes stamp set in Crushed Curry ink and stamped again without reinking. I did that on the top left of the panel and the bottom right, then adhered it to the inside of the card. This card seems like a masculine card to me & I love the versatility of it.
For the envelope front I stamped the smaller leaves from the Textured Notes stamp set in Crushed Curry ink and continued stamping without reinking – inked the stamp and did the same on the flap. then followed the same process on the flap.
On the second card I used the very same process but the card base is Smoky Slate and the DSP is just a teeny bit wider – maybe 1 3/8 x 5 1/2 and the attached paper is Crushed Curry 1 1/2 x 5 1/2. Everything else is the same. :o) The sentiment is stamped in VersaMark ink using the Textured Notes stamp set, sprinkled with white WOW embossing powder & heat set it with the heat gun. I popped it up with dimensionals.
I prefer the first card – what is your preference?

The Latest on Cloud Cover Ink
The clouds have parted, and we have more to share about our new In Color, Cloud Cover. In the March 18 Weekly Update, we announced we wouldn’t release the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Pad (165284) and Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (165279) with our 2025–2026 Annual Catalog preorder. This was due to unforeseen quality issues—the ink color was shifting beyond our quality parameters. Since our initial announcement, we’ve been hard at work researching the matter. Here’s what we know:
A chemical reaction between our Cloud Cover ink formula and the chemical makeup of the firm foam used in our Classic Stampin’ Pads has been determined to be the cause of the color shift.
Such a reaction is rare, but the chemistry can play tricks, even after development and our rigorous quality testing.
Because this was an unforeseen issue, we are unable to predict when the shift in color will occur. In one batch of pads, the color accuracy met quality standards. In another, the shift is too significant to pass our tests. Because we pride ourselves on offering beautiful coordinating colors, this inconsistency simply won’t do. Therefore, we will not release Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Pads to customers.
Classic Stampin’ Pad aside, there IS a Cloud Cover ink option for customers—Stampin’ Spots!
Classic Stampin’ Spot Small Assortment 1 (166716) – this includes Real Red, Petal Pink, Garden Green, Cloud Cover & Early Espresso
OR
Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (165279)
Uninked Stampin’ Spots (141822)

Welcome to this fantastic Thursday Hop! We have a color challenge today for the hop… hope you enjoy what you see today.
Oh what a fun, bright, feminine card… and I absolutely love this Florals in Bloom DSP! Here’s what I did… I cut a panel of the DSP 2 3/4 x 4, then cut on the short side @ 1 1/2, trimming that to create two panels 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 & 1 3/4 x 2 1/2. That leaves a 1″ strip which I cut @ 2 1/2, leaving a 1 1/2 pice. I adhered these directly to the Summer Splash 3 x 4 1/4, then to Darling Duckling 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. I wrapped a Strawberry Slush Twine around two times & tied a bow. This twine is from a Bakers Twine 3 color pack. Over this I added the sentiment on dimensionals from Greetings for All Ephemera Pack. I embossed a Basic White piece 4 x 5 1/4 using the Birchwood 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the Thick Basicb White card base (8b 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I attached the front panel with dimensionals and bingo, the front was complete.
For the inside… On another Basic White panel cut 4 x 5 1/4, I stamped the outline of the flowers in full strength Strawberry Slush, then stamped the fill in flowers in stamped off once Strawberry Slush. I stamped the stem/ leaves stamp in Granny Apple Green. And the sentiment – from the Greetings for All Ephemera Pack. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card. OH… the stamped flowers are from Pretty Florals stamp set – notice how it matches the DSP!!! These items are part of a suite of products available May 6.
For the envelope… more of the Florals in Bloom DSP on the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit. And yep – that same sweet flower on the envelope front from Pretty Florals. This also comes with dies!!!
Want to get these??? Join with me May 6 to place an order from the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog AND the new ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. Clicking here to go to my store.

Hello folks – this is my 2nd post for the day and here it is the day before May Day – May 1 – and I’m excited to share this fun fold. It’s made with retiring Country Lace DSP to create the fault line technique :O)
Begin with a Crumb Cake card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2 & @ 6 1/2. Burnish the 5 1/2 then burnish the 6 1/2 bringing it forward. Adhere that 1″ area to the card back so just the right side flips up. Add Basic White 7/8 x 4 1/4 to the 1″ area then add Country Lace DSP 3/4 x 4 1/4 over the Basic White.
Holding two layers of Country Lace together (both cut 3 x 4 7/16) & slowly tear at an angle – short side to short side – creating this fun edge. Now separate these pieces and add to a Basic White panel 4 7/16 x 4 1/4, leaving space as shown. Add to the Crumb Cake card front. (If you have seen the falut line technique in videos, I have done this just a bit differently – in that I added the Basic White panel to fit the book binder front) Stamp the sentiment in Crumb Cake ink using the Blooming Phrases stamp set – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE and available May 6! Because this is a photopolymer stamp, I curved it to fit the curve of the DSP :O) I added three Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the word happy, taping off some of the elements of that stamp before inking with Crumb Cake ink. Then I stamped the word ‘birthday’, also in Crumb Cake ink. These also come from the Blooming Phrases stamp set. Next I stamped the balloons in Memento ink – these come from Spring Corners stamp set, currently available in the ONLINE store. I colored these with Stampin’ Blends: Balmy Blue, Summer splash & Pool Party then added Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.
For the envelope, more of the retiring Country Lace DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. I colored the balloons in the same manner using the same Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Balmy Blue & Summer Splash – and yes, Wink of Stella.
I love the contrast of the balloon colors with the very soft colors of the DSP – they really stand out nicely.

Good Thursday & WELCOME to our fabulous hop! Today we have a sketch challenge & I’m mixing some items from the retiring Jan-Apr Mini Catalog, a carry over set of dies & a sentiment from the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog (available May 6).
The Floral Delight 12 x 12 DSP is just so full of spring & cheer! And the coordinating Delightful Wishes bundle is a fun play :O)
How to put together:
Cut DSP 5 1/4 x 12 & score @ 2, 4, 8, & 10; fold & lightly score mountain, valley, valley, mountain
On each short end measure down from top 2 5/8″ & mark. (This is 1/2 the 5 1/4). Cut from closest score to mark on each end & retain pieces removed.
Add these retained pieces to each front panel, decorating it & making it appear as though the panel was folded forward.
Decorate
For this card I cut two circles using the Spotlight on Nature Dies- one from the back side of a DSP in Delightful Floral & another from Basic White. These were adhered together with dimensionals
Adhere these to the left front panel ONLY, centering left to right
Decorate & add embellishments
Using the Delightful Wishes Dies, I die cut the branch from Pecan Pie & several flowers from one of the DSP sheets in Floral Delight DSDP
I adhered the branch directly to the circle & several of the flowers to the branch.
I pulled out the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (new in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog coming May 6) and adhered the sentiment with dimensionals
I added Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins for a bit of shine & sparkle
This entire piece was adhered to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Daffodil Delight card base.
For the inside… I die cut the outline for the word wishing (Delightful Wishes Dies) in Lemon Lolly & adhered it to the Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 inside panel. Next I added an Adhesive Sheet to the back of a Daffodil Delight piece and die cut the word itself. This made it easy to adhere to the Lemon Lolly outline. Next I inked the rest of the sentiment in two parts (the word ‘you’ first) with Daffodil Delight ink and stamped them on the insert panel. This was added to the inside of the card – – and boom! This card is ready.
For the envelope… a 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Floral Delight DSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.
Quick, easy and lovely to look at & receive – and an excellent way to show off both sides of the Designer Series Paper. Want to purchase these products? See how to do that below the list of those participating in today’s hop. :O) Enjoy the creativity you will see today!

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!
Hello Monday! It’s a new week, actually a new day – – and it is NOT raining here. Whew! We need the rain to fill our reservoirs; I like rain; but the days are a bit gloomy. We had sunshine for a bit of the day & it felt good. Thank you for the rain; and thank you for the sunshine!
My card today uses the ever-popular Arches Dies found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. I’ve paired it with one of the new In Colors for 2025-2026 called Cloud Cover plus a beautiful Florals In Bloom DSP. I either fussy cut the flowers with my paper snips, or die cut them with a die from Pretty Florals Dies or Sweet Blooms Dies. Both of these dies and the DSP are part of a new suite of products in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog – the Florals In Bloom Suite.
This card begins with a standard A2 card base in Cloud Cover. The DSP layer is just 1/8″ smaller all around and is from the Florals In Bloom pack. It is from the other side of this sheet that I either fussy cut or die cut the flowers for the front of this card. :O) Ah, but I jump ahead… after adhering the DSP to the card front, open card & use the 4th largest die in the Arches Dies to center it on the front & die cut the arch. This may take running it back & forth a couple of times.
Now prepare the inside panel… 6 1/2 x 5 3/8 scored at 2 & 4 on the long side. Prepare two ‘hinges’ cutting 3″ x 1 1/4″, scored @ 1 1/2. Add Tear n’ Tape in several places then cut in half lengthwise, thereby creating 2 hinges. Add Tear n’ Tape to the BACK SIDE of the 2 1/2″ panel. On that same back side, add the hinges with the fold at the outside edge, one at top & one at bottom. Refer to photos below.
back side of card insert front side of card insert
Remove tape cover & add insert to to inside of card with 1/8″ edge top, right & bottom. Fold insert along score lines, remove tape cover on hinges and with them flat & sticky side up, close card front. Boom! Now, with card closed & ‘window’ uncovered, add adhesive or Tear n’ Tape to open area – see photo… & attach die cut arch & decorate! ….
As mentioned earlier, I either fussy cut with my paper snips or die cut with appropriate dies all the flowers. On the bottom right, this flower was Cloud Cover so that when the card is opened, there is a ‘like’ image inside – cut 2. After adhering, circle & flower were trimmed to card front edges.
Additional info:
DSP added to inside of card is 1 7/8 x 5 1/4, decorated with a die cut from the DSP (Sweet Blooms Dies)
Basic White panel on far right is 2 3/8 x 5 1/4
Embellishments on fron are 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems
Wink of Stella was added to shaded areas of all flowers
This is what the card looks like from the top
For the envelope…
More of the same DSP from Florals In Bloom DSP pack (just the other side) adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, another fussy cut flower added to the edge of the envelope front.
I had so much fun creating this card. It was pretty easy really and the fun came in the decorating. I would love to see what you do with this Window Pop-Out card design.
As I mentioned earlier, this suite of products are all available in the 2025-2026 Annual catalog, which goes live to customer May 6. That’s a few short weeks away. But… if you were to join my team, you could purchase the items to make this card (& more) as part of your starter kit. Wouldn’t that be fun? And in any future orders you would always get at least 20% off your purchase, just for being a demonstrator. And being a part of this team – well, lots of creative folks to inspire & encourage and learn more & more. so, think about it & come join the fun. Join with me here.
