Stampin’ Up! Tile Garden Sneak Peek with Rtisan Sketched Garden for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning, good morning! We have a fun sketch challenge today and i’m so glad you have joined us! You may have come from the fabulous Tara or hopped right in nhere. Haowever you arrived, I hope you’ll check out what everyone has created.

Stampin' Up! Blog hop Group
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop sketch challenge

Our challenge today, as you can see is to create using Black & White plus one other color. I chose to work with Crisp Cantaloupe for this card & the wonderful Artisan Sketched Garden DSP from the May-Aug Catalog. The other big item is the NEW Tile Garden bundle from the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog that goes live Sep. 1! The dies in this bundle are all squares and haqve the same pattern as the Spotlight on Nature Dies, which are circles. Very cool!

Stampin' Up! Tile Garden + Artisan Sketched Garden card front

The Artisan Sketched Garden DSP is all black & white – the whole package of papers. And of course it can be used as is – or colored. As you can see, I colored the main front panel using the Crisp Cantaloup Shimmer brush. While the shiny doesn’t show in the photo, it does in real life. 😀 After coloring I added this to a Basic Black 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. To that I added a 3/4 x 4 3/4 polka dot strip to the much more white panel 2 x 4 1/4, & attached those to the card front. Next I die cut the white piece using the NEW Tile Garden Dies & added a Crisp Cantaloupe behind it 2 7/8 x 2 7/8. These were added to the card front with dimensionals. I already had this vase of flowers sitting on my desk that I had fussy cut after coloring with Stampin’ Blends: Crisp Cantaloup. Granny Apple Green & Pool Party. I added this to the front again with dimensionals then three Glossy Garden Dots (also from the new Sep-Dec 2026 catalog.)

Stampin' Up! Tile Garden inside card

For the inside of the card I used the NEW Tile Garden stamp set for the sentiment (stamped in Memento ink) and the floral image (stamped in Granny Apple Green and Crisp Cantaloupe (this one stamped off once) This is such a sweet delicate flower. I’m loving the images in this set.

Stampin' Up! Tile Garden + Artisan Sketched Garden card & envelope

The envelope… more of the Tile Garden stamp set used on the front, stamping the leaves min Granny Apple Green and the flowers in stamped off Crisp Cantaloupe. The flap has yet another panel of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP adhered & trimmed to fit.

I made another card while I was at it – this time making an easel card with Strawberry Slush, the Everyday Arches Dies, Tile Garden stamp set for the sentiment and tiny flowers, more Artisan Sketched Garden DSP (for the black & white plus theme) and a couple of retired products 🥴 The point is, products can coordinate! It’s the Stampin’ Up! way!!!

Posted on by

Welcome to Thursday – Dec 4 – and the super fun blog hop. We have a sketch challenge today that is just perfect to show off a new January-April 2026 Mini Catalog product – some of the Cute As A Bug Suite. Just super, super cute! Thanks for joining me today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog hop

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs card front

This super cute ‘bug’ is a die cut (from Sweet Bugs Dies) using the Designer Series Paper called Cute As A Bug 12×12. It may be found in the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 42-44. I added a Basic White backing for strength. The sentiment comes from the Sweet Bug stamp set. and the DSP these sit on is more of the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP. It was added to a Mossy Meadow panel just slightly larger. The embossing folder is also brand new – it’s called Lovely Stripes and is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE coming in January. It was dry embossed on Crushed Curry card stock and added to as Crushed Curry card base.The embellishments I used are Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Mossy Meadow.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs card inside

For the inside of the card I die cut another cute ‘fellow’ from the Cute As A Bug DSP and adhered it to a Basic White panel. I also stamped a sentiment from the Sweet Bug stamp set in Mossdy Meadow ink. This panel is attached to Mossy Meadow & both added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs card & envelope front

A super cute stamp of these ants mar ching along… from the Sweet Bug stamp set. I stamped in Pecan Pie ink – should have usede Memento Black ink. I colored with Stampin’ Blends Pecan Pie, Daffodil Delight & Real Red.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs Card & envelope back

For the envelope back I attached more of the same design from the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP. Tuesday, the day I made this card ,was a dismal, dreary day outside – rained all day – 2 1/2″ plus – and making this card made me smile. Hope it makes you smile too.

Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter DSP & Sketch

Posted on by

WOW – November! Halloween is behind us & Thanksgiving is coming soon. What a time to be be thankful & grateful… yes, yes. I’m thankful for all of you & grateful for this fun craft which I so enjoy. So MANY blessings… lest I get sappy… let me share today’s card.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP card front

This cute little bird has been sitting on my desk for a bit. He was supposed to be used on another project & well, I got busy with other cards, designs & stuff. He was die cut using a Spotlight on Nature Die, cut directly from the Nests of Winter DSP. I mounted him on a Cherry Cobbler circle die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies. Then I pulled various papers from the Nests of Winter DSP pack.

  • the cross panel is 2 1/4 x 3 7/8
  • the two vertical panels are 1 x 3 & 1 1/4 x 4

These were adhered on the Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 pice which was attached to yet another panel of DSP 4 x 5 1/4. These were added to the Gray Granite card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) with dimensionals. The circles were also added to the card with dimesnionals. Then these wonderful Streaked Dots were scattered for additional charm.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP, inside card

For the inside of the card I fussy cut with my paper snips this adorable bird & adhered it with liquid glue to the Basic White insert (4 x 5 1/4).

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Nests of Winter DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. DONE! Cut the DSP panels ahead of time & this card layout is a quick 1, 2, 3. Add a sentiment depending on the front focal point, or not, as I didn’t here. It’s easy to add a message inside when this card is needed for something special.

Stampin’ Up! Regal Distressed Patterns with Pearls of Beauty & Words of Beauty

Posted on by
4

Mixing old & new is almost magical – it brings life to papers you have had for a while, making it possible to create with new eyes. I’m sharing another accordion fold card made with the Regal Distressed Pattern SDSP that is Pretty Peacock in color and pairing it with the dies from Pearls of Beauty – a new November 4 release in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin' Up! Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP w/ Pearls of Beauty bundle accordion fold

These gorgeous dies from the new Pearls of Beauty bundle were die cut from Gold Foil and from Vellum. Yes – Vellum is back! Vellum is one of the products in the Brushed with Beauty Suite. I cut a panel of Gold Foil 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 & from the center die cut the two leaf dies – using the Pearls of Beauty Dies. I cut a panel of the Regal Distressed Pattern SDSP 4 x 5 1/4 & added it to the Gold Foil – no one will suspect die cut were taken from the center! Both were added to the Pretty Peacock card base. The gold foil die cuts were added with liquid glue – except under four of the larger leaves I added a dimensional for added depth. I die cut the delicate floral edging detail from Vellum & attached it with a glue dot in the center of the flower. One single Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the center covers the glue dot. I added a double bow from white Baker’s Twine & attached it with a glue dot as well. Gorgeous!

Stampin' Up! Regal Distressed Patterns accordion folkd with Pearls of Beauty

For the inside… stunning. The accordion fold is a panel of DSP (here it is Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP in white) cut 4 x 12 and scored at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9, then added to the card base with equal edges on both ends – only adhering those 3″ ends. Here I used the Branching Out Dies to die cut two Basic White panels adhering them 1/4″ from the edge of the paper on each end. The Pearls of Beauty single flower is stamped in Flirty Flamingo full strength for the flower outline, then using the ‘filler’ stamp and Flirty Flamingo ink, stamping off once. I die cut the stamped image with the Pearls of Beauty Dies and added it to the upper left corner. I die cut the delicate Vellum edging of the flower and added it with a single glue dot & a Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the center. I stamped the leaf image on the Vellum in Soft Sea Foam ink, heat set it with my heat tool, then die cut it with the Pearls of Beauty Dies and slipped it gently under the flower, using liquid glue to attach it. On the lower right corner… I stamped the flowers in the same manner as the first…outline stamp in Flirty Flamingo full strength and the filler stamp in stamped off Flirty Flamingo ink. I added three small Pearls of Beauty embellishments.

For the envelope… more of the Regal Distressed Pattern SDSP added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, this gorgeous flower stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink in the 2 step method described above.

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek of Swirled Designs for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
13

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! You may have come from the fabulous Tara or just hopped in right here… However you got here, welcome! We have a sketch challenge this week and I have chosen to work with a NEW November ONLINE EXC;LUSIVE soon to be released November 4 bundle… called Swirled Designs. The dies are delicate so I encourage you to adhere an Adhesive Sheet to whatever paper you want to use to adhere these detailed dies. They are gorgeous but as I said – delicate.

Stampin' Up! Swirled Designs card front

I began by stamping the small star images from the Swirled Designs stamp set with VersMark ink over most of the Lost Lagoon panel, then sprinkling it with WOW! Metallic Embossing Powder in Polished Silver. I heat set it with my SU! heat tool. I then used the 2 3/8″ circle punch to punch a circle from Basic White, stamped it with Lost Lagoon stamped off once. What that means… ink the stamp, stamp off once then stamp on the circle – do that each time to create the dotted image on the circle. Adhere the stamped circle to the embossed star background with dimensionals. Cut a piece of Silver Foil 3 7/8 x 5 1/8, back it with an Adhesive Sheet. Die cut the single large star & several of the small stars plus the larger floral image from this in the center of the Silver Foil paper using the coordinating Swirled Designs Dies. Attach stars as shown – large star in the center of the circle and remaining small stars to the the embossed Lost Lagoon panel to reflect the challenge. Adhere the embossed panel to the Silver Foil & add to the Pretty Peacock card base with adhesive.

Stampin' Up! Swirled Designs inside card

For the inside… adhere the Silver Foil die cut floral image to a Basic White panel (3 3/4 x 5) then attach to a panel of Lost lagoon (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) then to the inside of the card. Done!

Stampin' Up! Swirled Designs card & envelope

For the envelope… stamp the dots from the Swirled Designs stamp set in stamped off Lost Lagoon in k. (ink, stamp off on scrap, then stamp on envelope flap). Stamp the flower design from the Swirled Designs stamp set on the front of the envelope with full strength Lost Lagoon ink. This card is ready to send. No sentiment makes this card great for all occasions… just add your message – it could be Christmas, birthday, silver anniversary,New Years – you name it . And, it could be masculine or feminine 😀 This is really non-generic – and I love that! As I mentioned earlier, this bundle will be released November 4 as an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. And to remind hyou – as a Demonstrator I have the privilege of preordering items before they become available to the general public. 👍 That’s just a hint to become a Demonstrator!!!

Now – to the card for this post…

I made this card and was not going to post it, but… here it is. :O) It’s made with the retiring Floral Delight 12×12 DSP, Everyday Arches Dies (an ONLINE EC) AND the wonderful carrying over bundle, Lifetime of Love.

Stampin' Up! DSP Fun Fold w/ Floral Delight DSP

Notice – there is no sentiment on here, and it needs one. It’s screaming for one. I just couldn’t decide. It could be a Mother’s Day card or a birthday card or thinking of you… I need to figure that out. Here are basic directions for this layout.

  • Cut DSP 5 1/2 x 12 and score @ 2, 4, 8, 10. Be award of the direction when cutting AND since both sides show, be aware of that too.
  • On the short side of both ends, make a mark at 2 5/8″ from the top & cut from the closest score line to the mark. (Make certain when cutting each end that the cut is on the top side.) Save those trimmed pieces.
  • Fold mountain, valley, valley & mountain; burnish
  • Adhere those trimmed pieces to each front side
  • Decorate as desired making certain when adding the die cut front pieces, that they adhere to only one side
    • I used the 4th from largest of the Everyday Arches & Basic White card stock
    • The green die cut if from a leftover piece of this same Floral Delight DSP and using the lifetime of Love Dies
    • I stamped the the floral design in Memento ink – again from Lifetime of Love stamp set & colored it with Stampin. Blends Daffodil Delight and Old Olive, then highlighted the flowers with Wink of Stella
    • Final touch on the front was several of the Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins, another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE
Stampin' Up! DSP Fun Fold w/ Floral Delight DSP

For the inside… on a Basic White 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 stamp the image in Old Olive ink using the Lifetime of Love stamp set. Adhere the Basic White panel to the inside.

Stampin' Up! DSP Fun Fold w/ Floralo Delight DSP

For the envelope… more Floral Delight DSP on the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit – and on the front, the same leaf stamped in Old Olive ink using the Lifetime of Love stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello – and WELCOME to the Happy In kin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I’ve maybe stretched the parameters just a bit, but I like the card and think it works.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch Challenge
Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals, Mixed Labels & Mixed Florals

I’ve used some ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products for this card – primarily the Mixed Media Florals DSP, the Mixed Labels Bundle and the Mixed Florals Bundle. I LOVE this DSP for the background. It reminds me a bit of a jungle and it was adhered directly to the Garden Green card base. The multiple die cut leaves are in Garden Green, Shaded Spruce and Shy Shamrock & I used the Mixed Florals Dies to create them. I simply adhered them with dabs of liquid glue but could very easily have used Adhesive Sheets as a backing, I just didn’t. The next step was to stamp the sentime on a Basic White scrap in Garden Green ink using the Mixed Labels stamp set. I die this and the rectangular piece using the Mixed Labels Dies. I adhered the fence-like piece to the back of the sentiment label then added dimensionals to the sentiment & attached it to the card. Viola!

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals

For the inside… I stamped this beautiful floral image in Memento ink on the Basic White panel then colored it with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. Done!

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card & envelope back
Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card & envelope front

For the envelope… I added more of the Mixed Media Florals DSP to the flap (after messing up the stamp image of the leaf!), trimmed the paper to fit. Since the mess-up of the stamped image on the flap, I decided to add some ink ‘edging’ to the remaining leaves, making them look like the leaves on the DSP :O) I added some extra ‘doodles’ for fun – all this with a SU! Journaling Pen. For the envelope front, I stamped the image of the leaves (just fine) with Shy Shamrock ink & used a Blends in Shy Shamrock to add some extra color depth. I also stamped the same sweet image as on the inside of the card in Memento ink & colored the flowers with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. Finis…

This is such pretty DSP and the coordinating bundles are so perfect to layer or use individually. I encourage you to visit my ONLINE EXCLUSIVE store – see info below.

Stampin’ Up! Grow with Love Card

Online Exclusives are just that – items not in any of the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs. This Grow with Love bundle is perfect for cards for no specific reason. I like sending cards just for fun and it makes the receiver feel special.

Stampin' Up! Grow with Love Card front

The card base is a standard A2 size in Shaded Spruce. I layered an embossed Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. The embossing folder is another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE called Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder. It has lots of texture. The next layer is Shaded Spruce 2 3/8 x 4 3/8 with Regals 6×6 cut 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 adhered directly to the card front. The center Basic White panel is 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 stamped in Shaded Spruce ink with another of the stamps in Grow With Love, then die cut with the appropriate Grow With Love Dies. I really like the corner edges! Again, this was adhered directly to the card front, centering. The mint leaves were stamped again and die cut and attached with dimensionals over the stamped image. I tied a double Linen Thread and attached it with a glue dot. Lastly, Adhesive-Backed Dots were added for contrast.

Stampin' Up! Grow with Love card inside

For the inside… another stamp in the Grow with Love is Thyme – and it’s stamped here in Shaded Spruce on the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel.

Stampin' Up! Grow With Love card & envelope

The envelope… more of the Regals 6×6 DSP in Shaded Spruce added to the flap & trimmed to fit (2 1/4 x 6) and on the front another image – this time it’s Rosemary :O). I messed up when stamping the image so did it again on a scrap, die cut it and adhered with liquid glue. When die cutting the image, it cuts off the name of the plant, so I fussy cut that with my paper snips and added it.

Fun, easy card, could be masculine if one is needed. It shows appreciation and care for another human being – which the world always needs.

You may this Grow With Love bundle in my store – look around at all the possibilities, kits, last chance products and more . When shopping with me and your purchase is $50 or more, you will receive a SU! item valued up to $10 and the current months fabulous tutorial – for April, it’s Memorable Blooms.

Stampin’ Up! Pop-Up Gift Card Fun Fold

Posted on by

Oh I’ve a fun gift card for you today using both the Spotlight on Nature Dies (one of my favorite die sets!) and the gorgeous Nests of Winter DSP.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Gift card

We start with a card base of Pool Party, score, burnish and adhere layers of Basic Black and Nests of Winter DSP to the top section and the lower section. Next I used one of thew gorgeous Spotlight on Nature Dies to die cut the black circle and also this sweet chickadee from the Nest of Winter DSP. I adhered the bird image to the Basic Black circle with dimensionals. I used the Stampin’ Seal+ to the back of this larger circle and added this wonderful Silver 1/8″ Trim then adhered the circle to the upper section of the card. I added three Drusy Adhesive-Backed Dots and the front was complete :O)

Stampin' Up! Pop-up Gift Card inside

For the inside… here you can see that lower front section is folded up for the inner ‘liner’ to slide into – like a pocket. And, that inner liner also has a ‘pocket’ – this time for the gift card. This basic White panel has two score lines, one at the top where it adheres to the upper section of the card and another to create the pocket for the gift card. It is also stamped using the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and Memento Black ink. What’s nice is this card can be used for Christmas or birthday or anything really. The measurements are listed below.

Measurements:

  • Card base: Pool Party – 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 3 1/2 & 9, burnishing both inward
  • Upper layers: Basic Black 4 1/8 x 3 3/8; DSP 4 x 3 3/4
  • Lower layers: Basic Black 4 1/8 x 1 7/8; DSP 4 x 1 3/4 – – once layers are in place, fold up lower section and secure in place with glue dots in each bottom inside corner. This allows the insert to slide easily.
  • Pop-up insert: Basic White 3 1/2 x 7 1/4, score @ 1/2 & 5 3/8. Burnish score lines so the 1/2″ score goes back and the bottom score is forward. Stamp upper sentiment. Decorate bottom panel of insert.
    • Basic Black: 33/8 x 1 7/8
    • DSP: 3 1/4 x 1 3/4
  • Add glue dots to bottom inside corners and close to create pocket.
  • Insert into card base pocket; add tear ‘n tape to the 1/2″ area at top and with this section open and flat, close the top of the card. Bingo – the card opens with the insert in place and ready for the gift card.

Stampin’ Up! AC Wildflower Suite Fun Fold for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and you know what that means – a VERY FUN HOP! We have a color challenge today and I’ve chosen to use the Wildly Flowering DSP as my focus and the coordinating suite to highlight this fun fold card.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Inkin' Thursday Color Challenge
Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Fun Fold card front

This is called a JOY FOLD card – and is two cards in one so to speak. The colors are mostly Wild Wheat, Mossy Meadow and Moody Mauve. This is just gorgeous Designer Series Paper – Wildly Flowering 12 x 12 DSP. And here’s how we put this together…

  • Build your card base first: Wild Wheat 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored @ 3
    • Add DSP layers: 4 x 5 1/4 (inside right panel) and 2 3/4 x 4 (inside flap – I embossed this panel in the Dashing Designs 3D EF) and another flower panel on the left front 2 3/4 x 4
    • On the inside front panel, die cut from Wild Wheat the hexagon using the Wildflower Designs Dies; add to panel.
    • Stamp this larger flower on a Basic White scrap in Memento ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. Color with Stampin’ Blends Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow. Add to hexagon and embellish with Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots.
  • Create the ‘mini’ card: Crumb Cake 3 x 8 and scored @ 4.
    • Add to card base, centering it on the right card base panel
    • Add DSP to inside right mini card 2 3/4 x 4 and to mini card front 2 3/4 x 4 (embossed with Dashing Designs 3D EF)
    • Decorate mini card front: die cut from Basic White both the scalloped hexagon and the stamped hexagon using the Wildflower Designs Dies. Adhere the scalloped design directly to the mini card front. Stamp the remaining hexagon with Wildflower Designs stamps – the sentiment in Wild Wheat ink and the dots in Crumb Cake ink. Add to mini card front with dimensionals and embellish with Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots, part of this suite of products.
    • To the inside of the mini card… stamp the sentiment on a Basic White panel (2 3/4 x 4) in Crumb Cake ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. Add a stamped & die cut flower: stamped with Memento ink and colored with Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends & die cut with Wildflower Designs Dies.

With the card complete… time to decorate the envelope… add another panel of Wildly Flowering DSP 2 1/4 x 6 to the flap and trim to fit. On the front, stamp another of the flowers from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Memento ink and color with Stampin’ Blends Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow.
