Stampin' Up! Amber Trees Dies card front

I made this card using the very fun Autumn Trees Dies. And no, I have not used these dies before – so this was a new set for me to try – and I loved it. First I did the die cut of the tree itself – the trunk and green were all part of the same die and I colored it after die cutting. I used a sponge dauber and wished I had used Blending Brushes. I like the way Blending Brushes create variations of intensity of a color. Next time! I used Garden Green and Early Espresso inks to color this. I then used another die and ran it through two times: once on Cajun Craze card stock and secondly on Crushed Curry – it shows in all these pretty leaves. I cut the Crushed Curry apart & placed them in various places around the tree adhering with tiny dots of liquid glue. I then added the Cajun Craze layer, also with dots of liquid glue. I then took my Wink of Stella & tapped it against a block to add sparkles all over. Of course, it doesn’t show in the photo 😖 I set this aside to put together the card base.

Card base: Pecan Pie 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2

Layer: Mossy Meadow 4 1/8 x 5 3/8

Gathering Together Specialty DSP: 4 x 5 1/4

I added the tree to the card front with dimesnionals. I stamped the sentiment using the Amber Autumn stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink then added a strip of Mossy Meadow to the bottom to create a shadow effect. I put dimensionals on the ends of the sentiment banner & attached it over the trunk of the tree. Finis!

Stampin' Up! Amber Trees Dies & Amber Autumn card inside

For the inside, I stamped this gorgeous stamp of acorns & leaves, symbolizing fall, in Early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel. It comes from the Amber Autumn stamp set (bundle available!) This was added to another Mossy Meadow cut 4 18 x 5 3/8 then attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Amber Trees Dies & Amber Autumn card & envelope

For the envelope, I stamped the same acorns & leaves image in Early Espresso ink on the front of the envelope. A piece of Gathering Together Specialty DSP was attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. To purchase the materials to make this card, please see the product list below.

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Interlocking Z-Fold Card

Posted on by

Happy Tuesday! I have a really pretty card for you today – actually three cards – all using the same Delicate Pines bundle, Elegant Pine Snowflakes 12×12 DSP & other coordinating products – to make this super easy fun fold design.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines snowflake card front

Here’s what the card looks like from the top – and why it is called an interlocking z-fold

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines Interlocking z-fold from the top

That Basic White piece is what makes the ‘z’ and allows the card to swing through the opening.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines interlocking z-fold, open

Here you see the entire card, open and showing all it’s glory. That die cut snowflake on the front is die cut from the fabulous Elegant Pines 12×12 DSP – it coordinates! I used Lost Lagoon card stock, die cut the opening on the front of the card using the 2nd largest die from Textured Notes Dies. The die cut panel was cleaned with an embossing buddy, stamped in VersaMark ink using the Delicate Pines stamp set (2 different snowflakes), sprinkled w/ Wow! White embossing powder and heat set. While that was cooling I cut a piece of DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and added it to the inside of the card. I pulled out another sheet of the Elegant Pines 12×12 DSP and using another die of the Textured Notes Dies, cut the olive green rectangle. I also die cut a snowflake from another of the papers in the pack, then die cut the center of the snowflake with another of the dies in the Delicate pines Dies. I put double dimensionals on the back of the smaller snowflake and single layer of dimensionals on the larger snowflake. I added the olive green rectangle to the embossed piece then added the large snowflake & then the smaller snowflake. I stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink & die cut it with a die from the Snowflake Kisses Dies, put dimensionals on the ends only and added it over the bottom of the snowflake. Time to create the interlocking section…

Cut a Basic White piece 5 1/4 x 8 & score @ 2, 4, & 6; burnish score lines in mountain, mountain, valley. Cut another piece of Basic White 1 7/8 x 5 1/8, stamp sentiment & snowflakes in Lost Lagoon ink, sometimes stamped off once & sometimes full strength. Add this to the last panel of the z-fold. Cut a piece of coordinating DSP 1 7/8 x 5 1/8 and add to the panel to the left, next to the stamp[ed panel. Now it’s time to add this to the card base….

Put adhesive on the back side of the last panel of the z-fold – the one with the stamped images – and add it to the inside of the card covering some of the Designer Series Paper. Fold next panel over, leaving the next two panels flat. Close the card base so you see exactly where to add adhesive – on the end panel only… top, left side & bottom.Open card front, leaving the z-fold flat & add adhesive as instructed. Close card allowing adhesive to adhere firmly. Open & close a couple of times & note exactly where to place the decorative front… on the 2nd panel of the z-fold. Add adhesive to that 2nd panel, close card front and slip the decorated panel in the opening. Bingo!!!

For the envelope… add a piece of Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP to the flap & trim to fit. Stamp the snowflakes from Delicate Pines stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink, stamped off once for the large snowflake and full strength for the two small snowflakes.

As mentioned earlier, I created two similar card using this same interlocking z-fold and the Delicate Pine bundle along with the Elegant Pines Snowflakes 12×12 DSP. Here they are…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines bundle Interlocking z-fold, card 2 & envelope
Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines interlocking z-fold Card 2, open

This is card 2 but created on Old Olive card stock and using a Faceted Snowflake Gem in the center of the snowflake. No embossing on this card & no extra die cut on the snowflake.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines bundle z-fold card 3 & envelope
Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines interlocking z-fold card 3, open

This card also used Old Olive for the card base, is embossed all over the card front in Wow! Whjite embossing powder. Old Olive ink was used for stamping on the inside of the card & on the envelope. Pretty Peacock is the ink of choice on the card front sentiment.

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! Delicate Pines Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
13

Happy Thursday – and welcome to our fun hop! We have a sketch challenge today that suggests lots of opportunities. I have chosen to use the Delicate Pines Bundle and Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP to create a pretty Christmas card.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines Christmas Card front

I used Old Olive for my card base and added a layer of Secret Sea then Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP. I added a strip of Secret Sea to follow the sketch challenge. I then fussy cut this pretty snowflake from the designer series paper. I set this aside while die cutting several pine boughs from Cloud Cover card stock. I attached some to the back of the snowflake with Stampin’ Seal, punched a circle with the 2 3/8″ circle punch from Secret Sea card stock to add to the back for stability and to hold the fragile pine boughs in place. I added dimesnionals to this and attached it to the card front. I slipped in more pine boughs where I though the card needed them, attaching with dabs of liquid glue. As a final touch, I added a single red Faceted Snowflake to the center.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines C'mas card inside

For the inside… on the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Delicate Pines bundle in Shaded Spruce ink then stamped the oh so beautiful pine branches in Old Olive ink that I added secret Sea ink with a sponge dauber. This was added to the Secret Sea card stock panel then to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines C'mas card & envelope

For the envelope… more Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I used the same beautiful pine bough from Delicate Pines stamp set, inked it with Old Olive ink then used a sponge dauber to create depth & interest. Done!

To me, this is a very masculine card… and I like that! I find it rather difficult to create a masculine type card for most occasions. 🥴 Now… before you get on with the hop, card cuts are listed below as well as a way to purchase these products and other Stampin’ Up! products from me.

It also uses the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP which is a carry-over from last year. It’s beautiful. I paired it with a new bundle from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog called Peace on Earth.

Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth w/ Winter Meadow DSP card front

The card base is Blueberry Bushel – not a color I use very often, but it looks awesome with this DSP. The card is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1 1/4 & 4 1/4. The first score folds back in a mountain fold, while the 4 14 is a valley fold.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth Fun Fold

Each DSP is adhered to a Basic White piece before attaching it to the card base. The decorative pieces on the very front use the Peace on Earth Dies to die cut the banners, the dove, the glimmery stars and the Garden Green leaves. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. I used a sponge dauber & Whisper White to add some white to various leaves. The stars were die cut from Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. The stamped Basic White banner was added to the Blueberry Bushel banner with dimensionals. The other items were attached with dabs of liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth Bundle w/ Winter Meadow DSP card inside

For the inside, more DSP adhered to Basic White then to the card base. On the right side, the Basic White panel was attached then the sentiment – so it would be ‘hidden’ by the front banner. About the sentiment – a die cut from Basic White using the Christmas Words Collage dies & embossing folder. Once cut, I used the Misty Moonlight ink pad to wipe over the sentiment. It’s a bit darker than I wanted but I still like it. The blue glimmery stars are die cut with the same Peace on Earth dies and again use one of the glimmer papers in the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper pack.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth fun fold card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front… a tree from the Frosted Forest stamp set (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) in stamped off Misty Moonlight. Card cuts are listed below.

Stampin’ Up! Card 2 with Patterned Tags Dies

Posted on by
4

Hello, hello… I can’t help it… I’ve been nplaying with the Patterned Tags Dies and I just can’t quit! This is my 2nd card using this Patterned Tags Dies as the focal point. Her ua go…

Stampin' Up! Card 2 w/ Patterned Tags Dies

Can you read the sentiment? Cuz – I can’t read it in this photo… which means I have to fix that… In real life with the card in front of me, I have no problem with what it reads, but the photo is another issue… So, I’m going to just move on and tell you how I created this card.

The card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Basic White embossed with the Basics 3D embossing folder called Hobnail Glass Dots, It’s a pack of three listed as Basics 3D embossing folders in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. With that done, I set about creating the focal point… Real Red is layered with Cloud Cover, then seven (7) strips of Peaceful Gardens DSP. (Card cuts are listed at the end of this post.) I wrapped Silver 1/8″ Trim around in three places and attached in back with Tear n Tape. I then die cut the tag using the Patterned Tags Dies: Cloud Cover, Basic White and Real Red, and adhered things together. I added the Silver 1/8″ trim to the top of the tag. I then ran a Basic White piece through the Christmas Words Hybrid Embossing Folder w/ Dies to create several sentiments. I backed this particular sentiment with Real Red and attached it to the tag. The tag was attached to the card front w/ dimensionals – and voila…

Stampin' Up! Gift of Joy inside of card

For the inside of the card – really simple… I stamped the Basic White with the Gift of Joy stamp set in Cloud Cover ink and Real Red ink, then attached the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Card 2 w/ Patterned Tags Dies card & envelope

For the envelope… I embossed the flap using the same Basics 3D embossing folder – Hobnail Glass Dots, then stamped the image using the Gift of Joy stamp set on the envelope front: Coud Cover ink & Real Red ink.

These products may be found in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog, ONLINE EXCLUSIVES & the Annual Catalog. See below for the images to place an order. You may find those items below, go directly to my store to purchase.

Stampin’ Up! Patterned Tags Dies Christmas Card

Posted on by
2

Good Saturday! It’s humid again here in NJ, and warm. And I thought cool weather might be here to stay – silly me. I have a pretty card for you today made with Peaceful Gardens 3D embossing folder and a new item from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog – the Patterned Tags Dies. I’m displaying the tag with pine boughs, a rather intricate die.

Stampin' Up! Patterned Tags Dies C'mas Card front

I started with a card base of Basic Beige and added a layer of Basic Beige run through the Peaceful Gardens 3D embossing folder. Next is an elegant front panel in layers: Basic Beige, Gold Foil and Season of Elegance Specialized DSP added to the front with dimensionals. Now, I could have stopped here and simply added a sentiment and embellishments. Instead, I added this fun tag die cut from Shaded Spruce and Summer Splash. After adhering those two die cuts together, I added the gorgeous ribbon from the Turte-Y- Awesome suite of products – Bordered Ribbon. To this tag I added the Basic White banner die cut with the stitched Shapes Dies on which I added the sentiment die cut from Gold Foil using the Christmas Words Collage Dies. And those pine bough die cuts were attached with dabs a liquid glue – came from the Patterned Tags die. This was attached to the card front with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Patterned Tags Dies card inside

On the inside of the card, i added more of the pine boughs with liquid glue and another of the sentiments die cut from Gold Foil using the Christmas Words Collage Dies – all to the Basic White panel.

Stampin' Up! Patterned Tags Dies C'mas Card & envelope

For the envelope… another piece of the Season of Elegance Specialized DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, another of the pine bough die cuts from the tag adhered in place.

The layout for this card was inspired by Susan Campfield, a Stampin’ Up demonstrator. Below are the dimensions for making this card. The products to make this card are available from both the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog and from the Annual Catalog. You may find those items below, go directly to my store to purchase.

Get double daisy patch rewards too. Daisy Patch rewards is my way of thanking my customers for shopping with me.

Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Fall Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
13

Welcome to Thursday and the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Our theme today is an autumn card and I’ve chosen to make an avid card using the Amber Autumn Bundle and other products in the Autumn Toile Suite of products on pages 39-43 in the September – December 2025 Mini Catalog. If you look at page 42, you will see a similar card , I’ve just added a few items to make it a bit more wow!

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn card front

Then card base is Basic Beige with an added layer of Early espresso & a slightly smaller layer of Amber Toile DSP. I created two strips (banners really) using the back side of the larger DSP panel. I trimmed the ends using the new & fabulous Party Banner Dies. With the largest of the circles in the Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut a circle from Gathering Together Specialty DSP. I turned this saame paper to the other side and die cut several leaves with the Amber Autumn Dies. With this die, then ‘vein’ of the leaves pops out. I mixed up those ‘veins’ and put them in other die cut leaves. The only one I left with it’s original center is the leaf die cut from the same side of the DSP as the circle. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink with an Amber Autumn sentiment, then popped the circle on the card front with dimensionals. I added the die cut leaves with liquid glue except for one – that’s on mini dimensionals. I tied a double bow with the coordinating Early Espresso Thread and attached it with a glue dot. Final touch… two Streaked Dots from the suite of products

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn card inside

For the inside… I stamped the acorn & leaf image with Basic Beige ink. It comes from the Amber Autumn stamp set and it’s a favorite image! I then stamped the sentiment, also from the Amber Autumn stamp set in early Espresso ink. This Basic White panel was added to an Early espresso piece then attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Gathering Together Specialty DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, I die cut another leaf using the Amber Autumn Dies and Gathering Together Specialtyb DSP and attached it with glue to the front. This card is being sent to a special person who has a September birthday 😀. I really like this card.

For every order of $50 & above from today Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial (for September it’s the Amber Autumn bundle!), but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers.

Stampin’ Up! Gift of Joy & Peaceful Garden Christmas Card

Posted on by
4

Good Wednesday – BIG DAY TODAY! Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog LAUNCH and SEPTEMBER ONLINE EXCLUSIVE RELEASES. I’m sharing a card today that uses products from the Mini Catalog , mixing products. The stamped images come from the Gift of Joy stamp set onnpage 55. The embossed panel is done on Designer Series Paper from the Peaceful Garden Suite of products on pages 32-25. The embellishments are from that suite as well.

Stampin' Up! Gift of Joy & Peaceful Garden card front

I began by stamping the various images from the Gift of Joy stamp set in Secret Sea ink. I filled in the images using Pool Party and Strawberry Slush. I then die cut them with the Stitched Shapes Dies, second from smallest square. I added them to a Pool Party strip 3/4 x 5 1/4. Next I embossed a panel of Peaceful Garden DSP with the Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder. This gives a beautiful embossing and background. I adhered this embossed panel to Secret Sea card stock, then wove ribbon back & forth for movement and texture. The ribbon is Faux Linen Ribbon in Cloud Cover. I added the strip of Poll Party over top to hold the ribbon in place and added the stamped pieces with dimensionals. The final touch, several Hues of Blue Flowers from the Peaceful Garden Suite.

For the inside… When first die cutting the stamped images, I die cut the squares too large, so in cutting down to the appropriate size, I had a leftover ‘trim’ so used it to enhance the stamped sentiment 😀 The sentiment is from Gift of Joy stamp set and is stamped in Secret Sea ink. The gorgeous bow is stamped in Strawberry Slush and is from the Gift of Joy stamp set. This Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card & voila!

Stampin' Up! Gift of Joy & Peaceful Garden card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Peaceful Garden DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, again the cute stocking first stamped in Secret Sea then stamped with Pool Party ink. Since this and the others are two-step images, this works well!.

This is not your traditional bright red & green for a Christmas card, but softer colors that still work. Stampin’ Up! does a great job of coordinating colors for doing just this kind of thing! Hope you like.Shop the products to make this card by clicking the images below.

For every order of $50 & above from today Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial, but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers. Get double daisy patch rewards too. Daisy Patch rewards is my way of thinking my customers for shopping with me.
