Stampin’ Up! Coneflower Celebrations in a Sympathy card

Posted on by
4

I’m sharing a card today made with the amazing Coneflower Celebrations bundle in the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. I’ve made it looking more like a white daisy with bits of color.

Stampin' Up! Coneflower Celebrations card front

The card base is Thick Basic White with an attached Basic White layer run through with one of the Glass Gardens embossing folders (there are two in this package!). I offset the embossing folder for added interest, putting on an angle on the sheet. Then I began creating the flower using the Coneflower Celebration Dies. The top layer is from one die and has light color with the Light Daffoldil Delight Stampin’ Blends; and the other two are from another die. I stamped on one of those bottom layers with stamped off Smoky Slate then added color with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I adhered these together creating layers, so slightly offset. The center of the flower is a gorgeous little die cut from Darling Duckling card stock with added color with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends & Wink of Stella. This too was added to the flower then attached to the card front. The stems and leaves were stamped in Memento ink and colored lightly with Granny Apple Green Stampin blends, then added in place. The sentiment is from the Everyday Greetings stamp set and is stamped in Smoky Slate then fussy cut at the bottom & attached with dimensionals. The final touch is a Linen Thread bow.

For the inside… again the sentiment is from Everyday Greetings stamp set and stamped in Smoky Slate ink. The butterfly is from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp and stamped in Smoky Slate and colored with Light Balmy Blue, Light Pool Party and Light Misty Moonlight – and of course Wink of Stella. The Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Coneflower Celebrations card & envelope

For the envelope… I embossed a piece of Basic White with the same Glass Gardens embossing folder, adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit – done!

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Bokeh 6x6 Explosion card front
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Bokeh 6x6 Explosion card inside

Basic directions…

  • With the side you wish to have showing most, fold a 6×6 piece of DSP in half, open & turn 90 degrees and fold in half again. Burnish well & open
  • Turn this piece over and fold in half in a diagonal fashion only once. Burnish and open. This creates the fold across the middle
  • The white panels on this are made with the largest of the Stitched Squares Dies, stamped and attached with adhesive of choice
  • Be sure to do all stamping, coloring, decorating before attaching to card base

To attach to card base…

  • Mark the center point both at the bottom of the card base and close to the center fold of the base
  • With ‘explosion’ piece completely closed, line up points on the diagonal with center points on card base and adhere to bottom half of card base. Make certain the card base will open and close easily.
  • Add adhesive to remaining portion of closed ‘explosion’ and close card front. Bingo –

NOTE: Decorate card front before attaching the ‘explosion’ piece.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you give this explosion card a try – super easy and gives a real wow! to a card. May you have a beautiful day!

Posted on by

Good morning! I participated in a Demonstrator only event yesterday called Creativity Now and we used a NEW suite collection that will be available in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog . We made 3 cards and a darling little box. But first, the suite products.

Peace On Earth Bundle includes stamp set, dies and the Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder; Hues of Blue Flowers, Peaceful Garden 12×12 DSP both front & reverse side, and Peaceful Garden 12×12 Glimmer Paper. The Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged ribbon is shown on both a card & a cute box.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Blues Kit with Alternatives

Posted on by
4

Hello fellow creators. I’ve had some technical issues lately and it has frustrated me. Today though I want to share some alternatives for the Beautiful Blues Kit – not that any alternatives are needed. This is one gorgeous kit, but I couldn’t help myself – i cut one of the card fronts and made a card using the tile technique. Let’s take a look…

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Blues Kit. alternate 1

Notice I did not use the entire card front – or all the ’tiles’. The blue background is from another of the cards that I cut and stamped with one of the stamps & Night of Navy inkspot that are part of the kit. The pieces are cut in 1″ squares and adhered with dimensionals. The sentiment and tag are part of the kit as well, also adhered with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Blues Kit, alternate 1 card inside

For the inside… I stamped the leaf image using the same stamp from the Beautiful Blues kit and Night of Navy inkspot – on the remainder of the card that I cut apart – making this a 4 x 5 1/4 size and adhering it to the inside of the card.

Here are additional slightly altered cards from this kit. This card has a double bow using Baker’s Twine Essentials pack in white, slipped behind the sentiment . The embellishments are from the kit!

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Blues kit alternate 2

This card has a Linen Thread double bow slipped behind the sentiment. On the inside I stamped the leaf image two times.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Blues kit alternate 3, inside card

On alternate card 1, I had cut a blue card base apart and used it as a background for this card, stamping it all over with the leaf stamp, then adhering it to a Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Blues Kit alternate 4
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Blues Kit alternate card 4 completed card front

The ‘overlay’ and all other parts are from the kit.

And for my last alternate card, I cut in half one of the lacy die cuts included in the kit and put it behind the sentiment. The other half is on the inside of the card.

Here are the remainder of the cards unaltered – in other words, put together as suggested:O) I made two of the first shown here.

Such a fun kit to put together – no extras needed unless you so desire to change or alter. Love this kit!

Stampin’ Up! Painterly Pears for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good Thursday – thanks for stopping in to view the creations from this fabulous team of bloggers! We have a sketch challenge today as you’ll see below and I’ve chosen to use the fabulous new Painterly Pears products that will be available Jul 1 for customers in my online store.

Stampin' Up! Hap[p[y Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Painterly Pears card front

I begsn with a card base of Darling Duckling and added a panel of Mossy Meadow 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then a piece of Painterly Pears DSP 4 x 5 1/4. I next cut a piece of Painterly Pears 3 1/8 x 4 3/8 and added it to another piece of Painterly Pear 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. I die cut this gorgeous leaf from Mossy Meadow card stock and adhered it off to the side – this comes from the Painted Pears Dies. I die cut two really fun pieces -open pieces almost like a webbing – one in Mossy Meadow and another in Basic White, also from the Painted Pears Dies. I adhered them offset & together with dots of liquid glue. i stamped the sentiment from the Painted Pears stamp set with Mossy Meadow ink on a strip of Basic White and die cut it with the coordinating dies in the Painted Pears Dies. I adhered this over the fun die cuts mentioned earlier, attached dimensionals to the back and put these in place over the leaf die cut. As a final touchnI added Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Darling Duckling.

Stampin' Up! Painted Pears card inside

For the inside of the card… I stamped these two adorable pears using the Painted Pears stamp set and Mossy Meadow ink. I added color to the leaves with Stampin’ blends light Granny Apple Green then a bit of light Old Olive. For the pears themselves, I stamped them in Darling Duckling ink then added Wink of Stella for some glam :o)

Stampin' Up1 Painterly Pears card & envelope.

For the envelope… I again stamped the oh so cute pears in Mossy Meadow ink, then added the two-step stamp in Darling Duckling for coloring the pears. And yes, more Wink of Stella on the pears. While it doesn’t show in this photo, I did add more of the Painterly Pears DSP to the envelope flap, & trimmed it to fit.

The products to make this card are part of the Painterly Pears suite of products available Jul 1 in my online store. The only item in the suite not used is the stunning Mossy Meadow & Gold ribbon.

Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
6

WooHoo – it’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Blog Hop 😀 I’ve created a couple of cards for you today using different Designer Series Papers – all with the same layout, but reversed.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery DSP challenge

Isn’t it interesting how different these look with the same design but one very feminine and the other masculine. I love the contrast – and the simplicity as well.

Let me give you the highlights of these two cards. Card 1 – the feminine one is a sympathy card that uses just a half sheet of Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP (so 3 x 5 1/4), then another 1″ strip of a different piece in the pack (1 x 5 1/4) then a piece of Basic Beige torn edge about 3/4 x 5 1/4, adhered just on the straight side. I used the Spotlight On Nature Dies to die cut the larger circle to be a background for the sent; adhering the Basic Beige circle also die cut with another of the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The sentiment was stamped in Secret Sea ink using The Right Words stamp set. The ribbon is Faux Linen Ribbon in Cloud Cover – did I mention the card base is Cloud Cover? The sentiment panel was attached over the ribbon with dimensionals. Pressed Flower Motifs were added to the sentiment.

Card 2 – the masculine birthday card uses Country Woods DSP (3 x 5 1/4) and another piece 1 x 5 1/4. The torn Basic White strip is about 1/2 x 5 1/4 and adhered just on the straight side. The sentiment is from The Right Words stamp set stamped in Misty moonlight ink on Basic White and die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies. This was added to the card front with dimensionals and three Neutral Matte Dots went underneath.

Obviously the larger card panels are reversed and with different DSP used, they are hardly recognizable as the same layout.

For the inside…

Card on left is stamped in Secret Sea ink on a Basic Beige panel 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered in place. Card on right is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. Both sentiments are from The Right Words stamp set.

for the envelopes: more of the Beautiful Gallery DSP on the envelope flap for the sympathy card and more Country Woods DSP on the birthday card – done!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello Thursday! And time for another challenge, this time a sketch challenge, which you see below. I’ve chosen to use the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP for the front image and off-set it with Mossy Meadow card stock behind it.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch Challenge
Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge w/ Beautiful Gallery

The card base is the wonderful new Cloud Cover which I like more and more. It’s such a wonderful neutral. As I mentioned earlier, I used the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP cut to 3 1/2 4 3/4 and adhered it to Mossy Meadow 3 3/4 x 5 – lop-sided like. These were added to the card base with dimensionals. I used a scrap of Beautiful Gallery DSP to stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink – using Beautiful Motifs stamp set. I adhered this to the card front with dimensionals then added three Pressed Flower Motifs around it. Card front complete!

Stampin' Up! 6/5 Sketch Challenge, Inside card

For the inside I used another piece of the Mossy Meadow cut 3 3/4 x 5 and adhered it lopsided – as is the front. I stamped the sentiment, again from Beautiful Motifs stamp set, in Mossy Meadow ink then added a 1/4″ strip of the same pattern as the card front DSP – to Basic Beige card stock 3 1/2 x 4 3/4. Do those measurements sound familiar? They are the same as the card front pieces :O)

Stampin' Up! 6/5 Hop Sketch Challenge w/ Beautiful Gallery DSP

For the envelope… the remainder of the initially cut piece of Beautiful Motifs 6×6 DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the card front I stamped another of the images from Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink. I appreciate making cards that can be masculine or feminine and this is one of those.

One of the advantages of being a demonstrator is being able to preorder items and I was able to place an order today that I’ll be able to share with you in a few days – items that will be in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog. Really… I can’t wait to share these new products with you! It just MAY encourage ypu to become apart of my team.

Stampin’ Up! 25-27 In Color Cards

Posted on by

Good Monday morning. How was your weekend.? I’m making progress after knee replacement: can’t drive yet as it’s the right knee, so chauffeuring is the mode of transportation for a while yet. I’ve set up a table on our main floor for card making and was finally able to work at the table for more than 15 minutes! In shifts of time, I’ve made these four cards – all with the 25-27 In Color 6×6 DSP pack Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling. For the sentiments I used the new The Right Words stamp set and cut them out with Nested Essential Dies or the Everyday Details Dies. I added White Bakers Twine from the Twine Essentials Pack and on some, 25-27 In color Flat Pearls. Let’s look.

Stampin' Up! Timid Tiger card front.1
Stampin' Up! Darling Duckling card.1

These two cards are the same except the panels widths were switched, making the largest panel to the right as opposed to the left.

Stampin' Up! Timid Tiger card.2
Stampin' Up! Darling Duckling card.2

Here I did the same, reversed the largest panel and used another of the fun papers in the 25-27 In Color 6×6 DSP pack with the same colors Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.

I kept the inside very simple – no stamping, just a strip of the DSP either on the side or at the bottom of the Basic White panel.

Stampin' Up! Timid Tiger card inside
Stampin' Up! Darling Duckling card inside

Just this little strip dresses up the inside :O) One of the nice aspects of using a layout like this is one full 6×6 will make one card, using the extra pieces for the inside of the card and the envelope flap.

Card cuts…

  • Begin by cutting a panel 3 1/4 x 4 3/4, then trimming that to: 3/4 x 4 3/4, 1 x 4 3/4 and 1 1/2 by 4 3/4. (this will leave a 2 3/4 x 6 strip for covering the flap and adding a strip to the inside of the card)
  • Adhere panels, reversing sides of the DSP as desired to a Basic White cut 3 9/16 x 4 7/8
  • Wrap with Bakers Twine 3 times and tie a bow
  • Stamp sentiment in Cloud Cover ink on Basic White scraps and die cut, adding to the panel with dimensionals.
  • Add finished panel to card front with dimensionals: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4, or 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Add embellishments
  • Add 2 1/4 x 6 strip to envelope flap, trim to fit. This will leave about 1/2″ for card inside
  • Add cut down strip to inside of card

Now you have a small stack of cards for various occasions – and this can be done with the other colors in this pack as well, making certain some can be used for masculine cards.
