Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas stamp set & Winter Meadow DSP

Posted on by

Hello folks… it’s Sunday and going to be another hot & humid day here on the East Coast The trees are beginning to turn but the weather remains h-o-t! So we adjust, right? But to my card…actually cards – I have three, all with the same layout but with different papers from the Winter Meadows Designer Series Papers. I was on a roll and absolutely loving this new (to me) stamp set. I bought it during the 15% off stamp sale 😀

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas & Winter Meadow card &envelope 1
Stampin' Up! inside card 1

Card 1: Here I used the patterned paper to cover the card base and to create the strip. For Coordinating colors I used Blueberry Bushel and the 2nd largest of the Branching Out Dies to layer the Basic White sentiment layer. The large Merry Christmas was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink. With this sentiment label on dimensionals I was able to add die cuts of pine boughs & berries die cut in Shaded Spruce, Lost Lagoon and the berries in Blueberry Bushel. I added Wink of Stella to the berries. The embellishments are Shades of Green Hexagons. On the inside, I die cut the same size panel of Basic White as the white panel on front and stamped the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink using the Gift of Joy stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas & Winter Meadow card 2

Card 2: For this card, I used another of the papers in the Winter Meadow DSP pack for the background and the strip. I used Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper in silver and Garden green for the pine bough die cuts and Real Red for the berries. Wink of Stellas was added to the berries. The ink for the Basic White sentiment panel (Branching Out Dies of course) is Misty Moonlight. The embellishment here is the Traditional Sparkling Sequins. For the inside, I used Misty Moonlight card stock for the layer of the Basic White sentiment panel. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and is from the Gift of Joy stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas & Winter Meadow card 3
Stampin' Up! card 3

Card 3: This may be my favorite card… I simply reversed where I used the papers from card 1 – the background paper being the blue and the strip being the patterned side of the Winter Meadow DSP. I again used Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper (this time in blue) to die cut pine boughs and Blueberry Bushel for the berries (yes, Wink of Stella on these berries too!) The embellishments are the Sparkling Snowflakes in green. For the inside… another die cut of the berries from Branching Out Dies, this time using the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper in blue – was added to a simple trimmed rectangle stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink using the Gift of Joy stamp set.

These are all larger than usual cards as I used a retired set of cards & envelopes to decorate. This layout was part of our Thursday sketch challenge for the blog hop and is a total CASE of the card by Amy Koenders. I want to give her credit after all! As I mentioned earlier – love this new Merry Christmas stamp set! Products to make this card may be found below.

Stampin’ Up! September Fall For Toile Paper Pumpkin Alternates

Posted on by

Good morning happy people. Guess what today is – FRIDAY, for many it is their favorite day… We have a family reunion of sorts planned for Sunday late afternoon & that should be extra fun. I’m very much looking forward to it. 😀

For today, I’m focusing on the Paper Alternates that I made with this month’s kit. I’ll show the ‘planned’ card and then my alternates.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP, card 1
Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP card 2, partially open

The card to the left is as intended by Paper Pumpkin. The card to the right is my first alternate, a total CAS from another demonstrator. It uses Country Woods DSP and when lifting the DSP on the right – there is the place to write.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 2, inside
Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP Alternate card 3, front
Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP Alternate card 3 inside

This is a gatefold card and when open again has the addition of Country Woods DSP adhered to the inside ‘gates’ & a piece of Basic White stamped using the stamps in the Sep. kit.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP card 4
Stampi' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate, card 5

Above on the left is the card as ‘planned. The card on the right is another z-fold using the PP kit products and only adding a double Linen Thread bow.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP Alternate card 6, front

Above is another alternate done in a gatefold. The only addition was a Basic White panel inside for the stamped sentiment. No other additional products were used.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP card front 7

The original card as planned. The only addition is Wink of Stella on the pumpkins and the fox.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 8, front
Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 8, inside

My next to last alternate and the inside – a flip front card. I cut the original Paper Pumpkin card base in half and added a piece of Early Espresso, adhered a Basic White piece to the inside and stamped the sweet acorn from the PP stamp set. With each of these last three cards i used Wink of Stella on the pumpkin and the fox for a bit of sparkle & fun.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 9, front
Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 9, inside

My last card is a joy fold card, and I used Early Espresso to mount the showcase field of corn & Gathering Together SDSP for the inside background. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with this kit. Refills are available if you wish to create these cards. The only thing is… in the refill there is no stamp set or ink spot.

Stazmpin’ Up! has a Paper Pumpkin each month and this next months is sure to fascinate. Here are the particulars – just remember, you must order by Oct 10!

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Kisses for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
11

Welcome to our Thursday blog hop! You may have come from the fabulous Tara and seen her fun creation – & now you are here. We have a sketch challenge today & I have chosen to use the Snowflake Kisses bundle and Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper to show off the beautiful snowflakes. I hope you like!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Blog Hop Sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses card front

I began by die cutting several snowflakes from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. It has three colors: silver, blue and gray – I’m using the first two – the silver & blue. I’ve also chosen to use the Traditional Labels Dies for the center die cuts in Cloud Cover & Basic White. The sentiment is stamped in Azure Afternoon with the Snowflake Kisses stamp set. The ribbon is Silver Edged Ribbon in Misty moonlight.

The card base is Cloud Cover with an added layer of Azure Afternoon just a bit smaller. Then I added a strip of Peaceful Garden DSP upon which I layered the snowflakes & the sentiment panel in the center. Only this sentiment banner is on dimensionals. As you can see, I layered the larger die cut snowflakes and I also colored three of the Faceted Snowflakes with a Stampin’ Blends Dark Azure Afternoon. The other two I left uncolored.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses inside card

For the inside… I added a strip of the same Peaceful Garden DSP as is on the front to a Basic white panel & adhered an additional die cut snowflake from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. I added the extra little bits of die cuts from one of the snowflakes – simply because they were available & I wanted to use them. 😀

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses card & envelope

For the envelope… I adhered the last of the die cut snowflakes from the the Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper (in silver) to the front of the envelope & added a starry piece of Peaceful Garden DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. Finis!

This is another one of those cards that is so flexible – this time because of the sentiment on the front & no sentiment on the inside. If needed, I could stamp – ‘thinking of you’ or ‘happy birthday’ or ‘just because’ – and it is easily a masculine card as well. Don’t you love the versatility??? Thanks so much for stopping by.

Now… on with the hop… choose the next button or click on a name – either one, be sure to visit everyone! Happy Hopping.

Stampin’ Up! Amber Trees Dies & Amber Autumn for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good morning, good morning. This is my 2nd post today – the 1st was all about the fabulous Stampin’ Up! 24 Hr. STAMP SALE – TODAY ONLY – 9/18/2025. You can see that post here…

It’s Thursday… and time for our fabulous hop. We have a color challenge today & I decidedf to play with a set of dies called Amber Trees Dies, and yes it comes with a stamp set as well.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Color Challenge
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.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Peace on Earth Bundle with Winter Meadow DSP, a Fun Fold

Posted on by
2

Hello Tuesday! What does this day have in store for you? For me, it’s the start of new programs and it gets busy. In the Stampin’ Up! world, there is always something new coming out, keeping the creating environment challenging and interesting. The card I have for you today is a fun fold and so super easy. 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.

Want to purchase these items? For every order of $50 & above from 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.
