Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of Magical Meadow for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome, welcome! We have a sketch challenge today and I’m excited to share new products from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog :O)

Stampin' Up! Blog hop Sketch Challenge 8/31
Stampin' Up! Happyn Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 8/31
Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow bundle

Winter Meadow 12 x 12 DSP is the focus of this card front. Isn’t this paper just gorgeous? It’s soft colors and stunning nature designs just take my breath away. The sketch challenge could have been used with any of the papers from this pack. I used Bordered Ribbon in Lost Lagoon as a nice contrast between the two papers. I adhered the Winter Meadow Designer Series Papers to a Misty Moonlight panel, wrapped the ribbon around the seamline securing it in back with Stampin’ Seal. I put dimensionals on these and attached them to a Misty Moonlight card base. The sentiment is from the Magical Meadow stamp set and is stamped on a Basic White piece in Misty Moonlight ink. It was die cut with a rounded corner die from the Nested Essentials Dies in the Annual Catalog. The sentiment banner was added to the card front with dimensionals. Three Faceted Gems from the Trio Pack were added – in Lost Lagoon, one of the colors in the nature scene.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadows, inside card

For the inside of the card, I stamped images that resmble the card front – from the Magical Meadows stamp set. The ink colors were Misty Moonlight, stamped off once, then a second time for the second image; Garden Green ink & Shaded Spruce ink, also second generation. These were stamped mon a Basic White panel then it was adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow bundlecard & envelope

For the envelope I did the same stamping on the flapas the inside of the card, allowing it to overhang the envelope front. In the lower left corner I used this fabulous snowflake die from Magical Meadows Dies to create interest. I slipped a thin paper in the envelope before running it through the die cutting machine in hopes it would not go through to the back of the envelope. It did anyway, but it worked and looks fine. LOVE this bundle… the coordinating Winter Meadows Designer Series papers are stunning. I cannot wait ton play more with this suite of products.

Now… it’s time to see what the rest of the ‘krew’ have prepared for the hop challenge today. Click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name. Enjoy!

Stampin’ Up! Book Fold with Countryside Inn 12 x 12 DSP

Good Wednesday morning! I’ve been a bit ‘stuck’ working with many new products from the 2023 Sep-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live September 6, and today I wanted to share a card using the Countryside Inn 12 x 12 Designer Series Papers.

Stampin' Up! Book fold w/ Countryside Inn DSP

What’s great about this fold is it can be used with a variety of Designer Series Papers, making it as masculine or feminine as your heart desires. And it’s super easy to do as well

  • Begin with a card base 4n 1/4 x 11 and score at 4 1/2 & 5 1/2 along the long side. Burnish well, then add adhesive between the two score lines, close the card, then open.
Stampin' Up! Book fold top view

The book fold look like the photo above when viewed from the top.

Now the fun part is determining the Designer Series Papers to use. And, as you see, I have two layers on my card, which you would not necessarily need to do. For this paper I felt the contrasting Basic White really set off the Countryside Inn DSP. (Dimensions will be included at the bottom of this post.)

For this particular cart, I wanted ton keep the decoration fairly simple – and chose to use the Countryside Corners Dies and the new Autumn Leaves stamp set for the appropriate sentiments. From Basic White, I used the smallest of the rectangular dies to die cut the Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment on a Boho Blue strip and stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink, then die cut it with this super tiny banner die that fit the sentiment perfectly – yes, from the Countryside Corners Dies. This Boho Blue strip was added to the Basic White die cut with dimensionals. These were added to the card front with liquid glue. As a final touch, I added three Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Boho Blue.

Stampin' Up! Book fold card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the two sentiments from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy ink on the Basic White panel then adhered it in place.

Stampin' Up! Book fold with Countryside Inn DSP, card & envelope

For the envelope I added another panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the flap and a narrow strip at the bottom front of the envelope. Done, done.

I look forward to seeing what you do when creating this book fold card – so please share.

Card cuts:

  • Night of Navy card base 4 14 x 11` scored on long side at 4 1/2 & 5 1/2
  • Basic White layer: 7/8 x 4 1/8; 4 3/8 x 4 1/8 (2); 1 1/4 x 3 (banner)
  • Countryside Inn 12 x 12 DSP: 3/4 x 4; 4 1/4 x 4; 2 1/4 x 6 (flap), 3/16 x 6 (envelope front strip)
  • Boho Blue: 5/8 x 3 (banner strip)

One of the reasons I became a SU! demonstrator is because of the coordination of their products. When I go into one of the local craft stores, nothing coordinates – in other words, reds vary in intensity, blues are not the same navy, and the same holds true for all the other colors. So if I find a Designer Series Paper that I want to coordinate matching card stock, it doesn’t happen in the local craft store. But in Stampin’ Up!, not only do the Designer Series Papers coordinate, but so do the ribbons and embellishments. If you would like the opportunity to do what I do, join my team – get an automatic 20% off every order, enjoy the Stampin’ Up! creativity experience with other dedicated crafters and get more for your buck.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Birthday

Stampin’ Up! has some really beautiful papers – and sometimes I get working with a certain Designer Series Paper and just can quit. That’s the way it is with the Masterfully Made DSP – so another card it is…

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made birthday

Look at these beautiful colors. Here’s what I did….

  • Pretty Peacock is the card base and after trimming it to size I stamped the front with the word stamp from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink.
  • I layered one of the Masterfully Made DSP to a Bubble Bath panel, adhering them together and adding them with dimensionals to the card base.
  • I pulled out two papers: Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lime Twist and using the Gorgeously Made Dies, die cut these two leaves. They were added to the card from with various dot of liquid glue.
  • I pulled out this fun ‘notebook edge’ die from the Gorgeously Made Dies and die cut a scrap of the Masterfully Made DSP. This was to be my background for the sentiment.
  • The sentiment is from the Hey Chuck stamp set and is stamped on Basic White in bubble Bath ink.. It was die cut with Gorgeously Made Dies then added to the ‘notebook edge’ die cut piece, dimensionals on back and added to the card front.
  • I added several Blooming Pearls in Pretty Peacock to the sentiment.
  • I tied a bow with lengths of White twine from the Basic Twine pack, and adhered it in place with a glue dot.
Stampin' Up! August Paper Pumpkin stamp

For the inside of the card, I stamped this fun image using an August Paper Pumpkin stamp and Memento ink. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends to coordinate with the Masterfully Made DSP: Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly. I added strips of the Masterfully Made DSP then stamped the sentiment – again using Bubble Bath ink and an August Paper pumpkin sentiment. And the card was complete!

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made birthday card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Masterfully Made DSP for the envelope flap and a strip for the envelope front to bring it all together. This is a fun, happy, encouraging card and I can’t wait to send it to a favorite person :O)

Stampin’ Up! Forever Forest and Christmas Tidings EF

Oh, more new products to share today: Forever Forest Dies, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder and Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets :O)

Stampin' Up! Forever Forest Dies & Christmas Tidings EF

I began by running a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel through the Christmas Tidings EF and layered it on a Pecan Pie card piece just slightly larger. I wrapped a red ribbon around it from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (annual catalog), securing it in back with Stampin’ Seal. These were added to a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.) I punched the bear from A Walk in the Forest DSP using the Beary Cute Punch. And yes, this punch also coordinates with the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP – YAY! The trees were die cut using the Forever Forest Dies from Shimmer Paper. There are several tree sizes in this set of dies, so it’s a matter of deciding which ones to use. I adhered the smaller tree so the base sat inside the ribbon, the larger tree is on dimensionals and overlaps the ribbon. I adhered the bear with dimensionals as well – as though it is ‘walking to the forest’. The final touch was this stunning Adhesive-Backed Star Trinket at the top of the taller tree. All these new items will be available in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog come September 6!

Stampin' Up! Tiny Christmas Tree Dies

For the inside… I used another new product… the Tiny Christmas Tree Dies to die cut the border of the Basic White inside panel. Are those tiny trees too cute or what?! And I saved the die cut trees to use later :O) This die can be used as a card front as well – look for that in the near future! The sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink using another new stamp set, Magical Meadow. This Basic White panel was adhered to a Pecan Pie piece and attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Forever Forest Dies & Christmas Tidings EF card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of Basic White was run through the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder, attached to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. I used three of the die cut trees from the Tiny Christmas Trees Die to adhere to the envelope front – and they are perfect there!

What fun to use all these new products to share with you today. If you do not have a demonstrator and would like a catalog, please let me know.

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of Festive and Fun

Welcome to Friday! I have a very fun card for you today and a sneaky peek of another stamp set in the new Mini September -December 2023 catalog. and simple as ever. I enjoy coloring and my Stampin’ Blends came in very handy for that :O)

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun simple card

This card also introduces some of the sort of ‘funky’ Designer Series Paper called Merry & Bright (available September 6 as part of the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 catalog).

For Stampin’ Blends, I used Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Dark Poppy Parade, Lemon Lime Twist, Dark Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake, the Color Lifter, and Wink of Stella to the star. I stamped the image from Festive & Fun stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Basic White panel 2 1/2 x 4 5/16. Once I finished coloring, I adhered it to a Shaded Spruce 2 9/16 x 4 1/2, then mounted it with dimensionals to another Basic White panel wrapped in Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party. The card base is also Shaded Spruce card stock 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2, layered with Granny Apple Green card stock 4 x 5 1/4 and the awesome panel of Merry Bold & Bright DSP 3 3/4 x 5.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Simple card, inside

Look at this adorable beast at the bottom of the inside – also from the Festive & Fun stamp set, stamped in Pebbled Path and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade and Wink of Stella was added to the candy cane. The sentiment comes from – yep, you guessed it – Festive and Fun stamp set and is stamped in Poppy Parade ink.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun card & envelope

For the envelope, I stamped another adorable image from the Festive & Fun stamp set: stamped in Pebbled Path ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Dark Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight. The envelope flap was covered in the same Merry Bold & Bright DSP trimmed to fit. So, so cute! These would make wonderful gift tags as well! Another day… :O)

Then… I took out this glorious die for the background banner. It includes these off-shoots of leaves and holly, etc. I decided to die cut from yet another panel of the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. I pulled out the Joy of Noel Dies to die cut holly (from Garden Green card stock) and pine sprigs (from Shaded Spruce card stock.) These were added to the back of the banner die cut from DSP with Stampin’ Seal then added to the card front with dimensionals. I pulled out a Basic White scrap and stamped this fun mixed font message which is from Christmas Classics stamp set and stamped it in Shaded Spruce ink. I die cut that with a die from the Christmas Classics Dies and added it to the larger banner with dimensionals. I added the Real Red gems from the Loose Holly and Gems & Sequins Pack.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Classics card inside

For the inside of the card… a piece of Real Red card stock with a layer of Basic White. Before adhering the Basic White panel I stamped it with the holly in Shaded Spruce ink, then the sentiment in Real Red ink. Both come from Christmas Classics stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! does not have envelopes that fit this size card, but I happened to have one in red :O). I stamped the cute holly stamp in Shaded Spruce ink on the front and on the envelope flap – and then didn’t take a picture of it. Ugh!

Card cuts for this card:

Shaded Spruce (card base): 7 x 8 1/2 scored @ 3 1/2 on the short side

Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP: 2 5/8 x 8 1/2; 1 3/4 x 5 (plaid strip); 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 (banner die cut)

Vellum : 2 5/8 x 5 12

Real Red: 3 x 8 (inside)

Basic White: 2 1/2 x 7 1/2 (inside); 1 x 3 3/4 (front sentiment banner)

Stampin’ Up! Z-Fold Pop Up Card w/ Gorgeously Made

Good Wednesday morning! We took our walk early this morning and it was sprinkling just a bit – and you know what, it was refreshing. :O) But you aren’t here for that… I have a really F-U-N card for you today.

Stampin' Up! Z-Fold card w/ Gorgeously Made

What I like about this card: colors, three dimension, texture and fun fold! All these wrapped up in one :O) I used Masterfully Made DSP for each of the panels; Gorgeously Made bundle for the die cuts and sentiment; Adhesive-Backed Sequin Trio Pack and Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack; and Vellum. The card base is Berry Burst. Here’s a view from the top.

Stampin' Up! Z-fold Pop up card w/ Gorgeously Made, back of card

Envelope front and envelope back…

Stampin’ Up! Garden Walk 6×6 DSP

This is a quick and easy card made for a friend who is undergoing chemo treatments and feeling really weak and tired. A pretty card is always a special ‘lift me up’ and lets the other person know they are being prayed for and love is being sent.

Stampin' Up! Garden Walk 6x6 DSP

The colors are striking, aren’t they? One of the keys is pulling together colors from the DSP so it really ‘shines’. I’ve used Calypso Coral card stock for a layer, with Garden Green as the card base. And I’ve used the Deckled Rectangles Dies to cut the papers and the Distress Tile 3D embossing folder to create more texture for the card front. The ribbon is from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack and the sentiment is stamped in Calypso Coral ink on a Basic White scrap using the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set, then die cut with the Wonderful Thoughts Dies. For additional sparkle I added three Blooming Pearls.

Stampin' Up! Garden Walk 6x6 DSP, inside

For the inside of the card, lots of room for sending cheer and a friendly message. A 5/8″ strip added to the Basic White panel, then a left over piece that has the deckled edge from the die cuts above. Both papers come from the Garden Walk 6×6 DSP package of papers.

Stampin' Up! Garden Walk 6x6 DSP card & envelope

For the envelope I used a couple of other products: Subtles 6×6 DSP in Calypso Coral for the envelope flap, trimmed to fit; and for the front these adorable stamped-off Calypso Coral flowers from Petal Park stamp set.

The Garden Walk 6×6 DSP, Distress Tile 3D embossing folder and the Blooming Pearls are all from the Mini 2023 September-December Catalog and can be ordered September 6.

Stampin’ Up! Delightfully Eclectic Fun Fold

I am so excited to share this Fun Fold with you… it’s called a springboard fun fold and it’s from Susan Campfield, a SU! demonstrator.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic Springboard fun Fold card & envelope

Let me show you what it looks like ‘open’ and from the top.

Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold, open
Stampin' Up! Springb oard fun fold from the top

The photo at far left shows the completed card sort of lying open. The next photo shows an incomplete card from the top. The ‘springs” are on the additional accordion or z-fold of the card. And, here you can see one of the ‘springs’. The springs make the card a bit bouncy, which is fun. In the photo at left, the sentiment on the inside is also on a ‘spring’. Directions… oh, you want them, do you? :O)

Directions:

  • Card base is 4 1/4 x 5 12 – (here I used Petal Pink)
  • Layer 2 is same color of card stock cut 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 scored at 2 3/4 and 4 1/8. The first fold is mountain and the next is valley. Burnish.
  • Cut a piece of DSP (here I used Delightfully Eclectic DSP) 1 1/8 x 4 and adhere to the left side of the card base, giving about a 1/4″ edge.
  • Adhere Layer 2 so it is centered on the card base itself, giving about 1/8″ edge to the DSP
  • Add a strip 1 1/8 x 4 to the card base on the right side, not overlapping Layer 2.
  • HINT: the 1 1/8 x 4 strips could be an embossed panel or DSP
  • Time to make the ‘springs’:
    • cut 3 pieces 3/4 x 3 1/2 and score each the same: 3/4, 1 1/8, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 2 5/8, 3. Each strip will look as though there are 2 m’s. Burnish.
    • add tear n tape to the inside on the short end
    • adhere over longer end slipping longer end to the fold line. Refer to photos
Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold, springs.1
Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold spring.2
Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold spring together

These end up looking like m’s adhered together :O) Attach 2 of these to the 2 1/8 end of Layer 2 so they are about 1″ from top & bottom of panel.

Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold, springs attached

Now it’s time to put the rest of the card together.

  • Cut a piece of Delightfully Eclectic DSP 4 x 4 and adhere to a piece of card stock 4 1/4 x 4 1/4. My larger piece is Basic White.
  • Without removing tear n tape on the two springs, place this front on the card base, centering it. Now you know it’s placement, attach to springs.

To complete my card front, I pulled out my Beautiful Balloons stamps and dies. On a piece of Basic White I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink and die cut it with this very fun banner die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies. I added a length of Petal Pink ribbon from the Ribbon Combo Duo pack and attached it to the front panel with dimensionals. Notice the small stars on the banner? They were from die cutting the banner – I used my Crushed Curry marker to color them and with a dot of liquid glue added them below the sentiment. As an afterthought I added Wink of Stella to each star for a bit of sparkle. I thought it added the perfect touch. :O)

Now let’s complete the inside:

  • Stamp the daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Petal Pink ink. Die cut the daisy with the appropriate Cheerful Daisy Dies.
  • Die cut the daisy center using the Cheerful Daisy Dies from a piece of Crushed Curry and add to the daisy center.
  • Stamp the sentiment from Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White piece. Die cut with the pretty banner die from Cheerful Daisy Dies. Adhere die cut daisy to the banner with liquid adhesive.
  • There is one more ‘spring’… attach it to the back of the banner, centering it. Add this to the inside of the card so that when the card is closed, the banner with the daisy does not show.
Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold.2

I also added a piece of 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 Basic White card stock above the daisy banner so I could write my message on it. This was such a fun card to create! I enjoyed making the fun fold and the springs add a fun touch of bouncy & lightheartedness.

OK, the envelope, which I kept easy, I stamped the daisy in Petal Pink ink using a stamp from, what else, Cheerful Daisies stamp set. The center is stamped in Crushed Curry ink using Cheerful Daisies stamp set. I used my Calypso Coral marker to add a few whimsical dots.

Stampin' Up! Mini September - December 2023 Catalog

Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold

Hello Saturday! We had a couple of days of wonderful temps and now we are back to humidity. Ugh. Well, this is summer and I’m not going to wish it away! Let’s take a peek at my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold

I’m going to confess, I don’t know the name of this fun fold and it needs a name. Help me out here, folks – let’s name it! The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 2 1/2, 3 3/4, 6 3/4 and 8 1/4. Burnish the folds in an accordion style: mountain, valley, mountain, valley.

Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold top view.

I used Gray Granite for my card base. The next layer is Basic White with a layer of DSP: I used Subtles and Neutrals 6×6 DSP. How these layers are attached is important: leaving a border of the card base in each case.

Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold.1
Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold.2
Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold.3

In the first photo, the card base border is about 1/4″ on the left, top & bottom, with the excess free. In the second photo the same is true, 1/4″ from scoreline on left and 1/4″ top & bottom b order. The final panel is smaller and the layer is Pool Party with Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party.

Now let’s decorate each panel:

  • Panel 1: The circle is die cut from Pool Party using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered in the center. The chicken and skateboard (from Hey Chuck stamp set) are stamped in Memento ink on Basic White and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Gray Granite, Lemon Lolly and Pecan Pie (skateboard). Both were die cut with the Hey Chuck Dies, dimensionals added and adhered to the center of the circle. The sentiment is also from Hey Chuck stamp set and stamped in Memento ink then die cut with the Gorgeously Made banner die and added with dimensionals. Three Glossy Dots Assortment in Daffodil Delight were added for sparkle.
  • Panel 2: Subtles 6×6 DSP in Gray Granite to the Basic White panel. Die cut the rising sun from Lemon Lolly card stock using the Hey Chuck Dies and color with a bit of Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. Stamp the fence from Hey Chuck stamp set on a scrap of One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 DSP (ONLINE EXCLUSIVES) in Memento ink and die cut with die from Hey Chuck Dies. Adhere the fence with dimensionals then slip the rising sun behind adhering with liquid glue. The final step for this panel is the sentiment stamped in Memento ink using the Hey Chuck stamp set.
  • Panel 3: Pool Party card stock with Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party layered together. The birthday cake from Hey Chuck stamp set is stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Pool Party and Wink of Stella on the icing. This was die cut with the smallest circle die from Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered with liquid glue. The sentiment banner was stamped on Basic White using another stamp from Hey Chuck stamp set and Memento ink. It was die cut with a banner die from Nested Essentials Dies, dimensionals added to the back and attached. The ribbon is Grosgrain Ribbon in Pool Party added under the banner with glue dots. Three Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party were added to the banner for more sparkle… and the card was done.
Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck 
Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope… more Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. Another chicken from Hey Chuck stamp set was stamped in Memento ink on the envelope front and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Gray Granite. HINT: When coloring with Stampin’ Blends on an envelope, always slip a heavy card stock inside to prevent color bleeding through to the back of the envelope. :O)

Fun, bright card, right? Ok, what else is going on in the Stampin’ Up! world…
