Happy Sunday morning – crispy air here today at 48 degrees. I have an easy fun fold today, one I found on Pinterest – hope you like it.
Susan Campfield created this card in a video tutorial and I liked the ease of it, then did my own thing.
Card Cuts:
5 1/2 x 5 1/4, score on short side at 4 1/4 (here I used Real Red)
4 x 4 (again, Real Red)
DSP panels: 3/4 x 4 (cut 2); 3/4 x 5 1/4; contrasting DSP 3 x 3 3/4 (here I used Take A Bow 6×6)
Basic White: 3 x 3 (circle on front) 2 x 3 (stamped holly); 4 x 3 3/4 (inside)
The first step is to burnish the score line on the card base, then add the 4 x 4 panel, centering it left & right & even with the bottom of the card base. This means it does not attach all the way to the score line! Now adhere the DSP panels: the 3/4 x 5 1/4 across the top and the two 3/4 x 4 panels on. the inside – keeping an even border on each – and the 3 x 3 3/4 on the front panel. Wrap a ribbon around the top & tie a bow. Here I used a retired Garden Green ribbon and kept it in place with a glue dot. As an option you could use that top area for a sentiment.
For the front… with Decked Circles Dies (6th from center), die cut a circle in Basic White and stamp with Sentimental Wishes stamp set and Real Red ink. Add it to the card front with dimensionals. Stamp the holly image from Sentimental Wishes in Garden Green ink and with a water painter very slightly damp, pull the color on the holly leaves. Don’t over work this step. With a Real Red Marker, color the berries, then die cut the image with the coordinating Sentimental Wishes Dies. Attach with dimensionals to the circle. Add Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Backed Berries – and the card front is complete. :O)
On the inside… with Peaceful Season Dies and Festive 12×12 Glimmer paper in Garden Green, die cut the word Christmas and adhere to the inside of the card. Remember to save the dot on the ‘i’ and attach it as well. Now stamp the word ‘merry’ from Peaceful Season stamp set in Real Red ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to the inside of the card & voila – the card is complete.
For the envelope … more of the Take A Bow DSP is adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. AgainI stamped the holly using the Sentimental Wishes stamps in Garden Green ink, used the water painter barely damp to pull the color into the leaves. I used a Real Red marker to color the berries.

Welcome, welcome. It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop! You may have popped in from Tara – or from another Krew member. Enjoy as you make the rounds 😀
So this sketch was a fun challenge! There are so MAN papers I could have used, but I needed a birthday card and also to play with this stamp set. After adding co0lor to each of the dragonflies, I stamped again with VersaMark ink, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set it for a nice ‘glow, then fussy cut each one with my fabulous Stampin’ Up! Paper Snips. The top left dragonfly is Azure Afternoon for the top wings and Balmy Blue for the bottom wings. The upside down dragonfly is Lemon Lime Twist for the smaller wings and Poppy Parade for the larger wings. The last dragonfly is Misty Moonlight for the larger wings and Poppy Parade for the smaller wings. The top left and bottom dragonflies are added with a single mini dimensional while the remaining dragonfly was adhered with liquid glue. I drew antennae with a Basic Black Marker with the fine tip end.
Card Cuts:
Card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (Misty Moonlight)
DSP layer from Country Lace is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
The square is Misty Moonlight 3 x 3 with a layer of Country Lace 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 and adhered directly to the card front
The sentiment panel is 1 11/16 x 2 with more Country Lace 1 1/2 x 1 7/8 and attached with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Happiest Day and stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.
As a final touch on the card front, I added 3 Adhesive-Backed Dots
For the inside I cut a panel of Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4, stamped it in the center with memento ink (sentiment is from Happiest Days). I then stamped the dragonfly in Mementop in, added color with additional wing stamps: Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue inks and drew the antennae with the same Basic Black marker with the fine tip. I did the same as before by stamped over the color with VersaMark ink, sprinkling with Clear embossing Powder and heat set. It gives a nice glowy to the wings.
On the envelope I stamped the same dragonfly as before – Memento ink – colored it with Balmy Blue ink for the top wings and Lemon Lime Twist for the smaller wings. On the flap I added another panel of the Country Lace DSP – and done!

Good morning! We have a fun sketch challenge for our hop today – lots of ideas will be shared from everyone participating. I can’t wait to see what’s been created. I needed a masculine birthday card and this layout worked perfectly.
This Full of Life DSP is perfect for so many kinds of cards – bright & cheerful. And this card I’ve made as a masculine one.
Card base is Blueberry Bushel 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Layer Full of Life 6×6 DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
Cut panel of Blueberry Bushel 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, set aside
Add a length of white ribbon with Stampin’ Seal+
Cut Basic White 2 3/8 x 2 3/8: stamp sentiment from Happiest Day stamp set – ink with VersaMark, then Balmy Blue and stamp on panel, sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder and set with heat tool. Although this does not show in the photo, it adds a nice glimmer to the sentiment :O) Stamp the ‘multi-star’ image from Happiest Day stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. Add this square to the set aside 2 1/2″ square on an angle as shown, then add to card front with dimensionals over the ribbon.
As a final touch add Glossy Dots Assortment in Gorgeous Grape.
For the inside… on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink using another stamp in the Happiest Day stamp set. Again, I stamped the ‘multi-star’ image, also in Balmy blue. I added a strip of leftover Full of Life 6×6 DSP 5/8 x 4 and added the panel to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card.
For the envelope… more of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP on the envelope flap, trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, I stamped the multi-star image from Happiest Days stamp set ifirst in Balmy Blue, cleaned the stamp and stamped again in Blackberry Bliss – creating a festive envelope front!
All the items for this card may be found in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. More information is listed below the names on the hop on how to order from me and the benefits of that. Now.. on with the hop! Click on a name or click the next box to take you to Carol. Happy Hopping!

You also receive the monthly tutorial for that particular month – for October, it is More Than Autumn bundle. Make certain when you check out that my name is listed as your demonstrator :O)
Welcome, welcome! Welcome to this blog hop group! Our theme this month is ‘Giving Thanks’ in whatever way that means for us… and I have lots for which to be thankful: people, support, this team and other teams, family, a roof over my head – just LOTS! I chose to use the Autumn Expressions bundle – beautiful script stamps, great dies (I’m a succor for leaf dies) and a host of other beautiful Stampin’ Up! products.
Stunning leaf die cut from Textured Metallic 12×12 Specialty DSP in both gold (2) and copper (1). And the very swirly script and framing – all from the Autumn Expressions bundle. Such a great set! The additional DSP is an online product – Meandering Meadows 6s6 DSP. I cut the front panels to look like sunset, the oranges and pinks streaking across the sky. The ‘frame’ is from another panel of the Meandering Meadows DSP.
For the inside, I used this wonderful ‘grass’ stamp and Pecan Pie ink – first generation and 2nd generation – to stamp across the bottom. How to do that? Ink the stamp, stamp the paper, stamp again without re-inking. This second stamping is called second generation.
Card Cuts/ directions:
Pecan Pie for the card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 on the long side. Burnish and fold other side to meet it, burnishing it as well. Why do I do this in lieu of scoring on each side at 2 1/8? ‘Cuz it doesn’t always come together in the middle – and I want them to. I have found this to be the easiest way to make sure that happens.
Cut Pumpkin Pie 2 x 5 3/8 (2) and adhere to each side front panel
Cut Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (2) and adhere to the Pumpkin Pie
On Basic White 2 3/4 x 3 3/4, stamp the sentiment from Autumn Expressions stamp set in Pecan Pie ink. Die cut with the smaller ‘frame’ from Autumn Expressions Dies. Die cut the outside ‘frame’ for this using the larger ‘frame’ die. Attach together with dots of liquid glue.
Die cut the gorgeous leaves from 1 1/4 square Textured Metallic 12×12 SDSP – two in gold and one in copper. Attach one go0ld leaf to the top of the sentiment frame with liquid glue, then the copper leaf on the opposite corner also with liquid glue. Attache the other gold leaf with a dimensional. Add three Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments on the sentiment panel. Add sentiment panel to the left side of the gate fold – and the card front is complete!
For the envelope… I added more of the same Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. Do the same stamping technique as before along the envelope front.
This can so easily be a masculine card if needed. I like that versatility! And many of these products may be found in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog, Card Stocks & inks, acrylic blocks, paper trimmer – these ‘staples’ are in the Annual Catalog.

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.
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.
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…
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…
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. And the adhesive dots part of the Stampin’ Up! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

HOST CODE … SEP 26- OCT 15 NDADFHMR
Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!
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…
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.
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…

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…
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.
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.
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.

Welcome, welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. You may have come by way of the fabulous Tara, or just simply started here. However you arrived, I hop you enjoy the creativity you see.
Fun, clear, simple card for the sketch challenge today. I began with a piece of the Sentimental Christmas 12 x 12 DSP cut 4 1/2 x 3 1/4. I ran it through the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder for added texture, then adhered it to Pretty Peacock 4 x 5 1/4. I added the Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortments in White, then topped those with Basic Rhinestone Jewels in the smallest size in the center of those snowflakes. On a 1/2 x 4 pice of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink. I added it to the panels with dimensionals, then attached two more of the Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortments, this time in Copper and added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel in those as well. This completed 4 x 5 1/4 panel was added to the Pretty Peacock card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4).
On a 4 x 5 14 panel of Basic White, I stamped this gorgeous tree in Pretty Peacock ink (2nd generation) using a stamp from Decorative Trees stamp set. Using full strength Pretty Peacock and a sentiment from Decorative Trees stamp set, I stamped inside the tree. I added a single Copper Adhesive-Backed Snowflake to the treetop and a single Rhinestone Basic Jewel in the center of the snowflake. This panel was adhered to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, more of the Sentimental Christmas DSP on the flap adhered & trimmed to fit. On the front I stamped images from Decorative Trees in Pretty Peacock ink. I really like the contrasting c opper of the snowflakes – adds something special…..
Now – time to see what others have created for the sketch challenge today. Click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name. And if you want to purchase the supplies to make a card similar to mine, shop with me below the names listed. On with the hop!
