Good morning… it’s Thursday and you KNOW what that means – the wonderful Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have some very talented folks on this team & it amazes me what folks create. I hope you appreciate all the talent you see on our hops. It is so funny, I was a week ahead of myself & made something for that… so I re-grouped!
Yesterday I received a Stampin’ Up! package with items from the Jan-April 2026 Mini Catalog, along with my catalog! YAY! So, in re-grouping and with the new items, I created something, well, different for me. My hubby really likes it – so hopefully you will too.
The items on this card are all from the Nature’s Walk Suite Collection in the new January – April 2026 Mini Catalog. First off, I cannot believe we are quickly moving into 2026!!! How did that happen? Secondly – this suite is full of gorgeous Designer Series Paper (2!), embellishments, a bundle & ribbon. I used all but the ribbon for this card. Check the texture on the paper behind the leaf die cut. That’s called Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper. And the die cut leaf is from one of the Nature Walk DSP; the panel at the bottom is from the same sheet. The odd-shaped cuts in the paper – a die from the Nature’s Symphony Dies. More texture! And the piece with the holes – another die. And of course, it was cut from the same piece of DSP!
I used additional products to make this card… the Textured Notes Dies (third from largest), Very Vanilla card stock & Secret Sea ink.
For the inside of the card… Another strip of the Nature Walk DSP across the bottom of a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Very Vanilla; the leaf is actually a portion of the leaf from the leaf on the card front :O) The sentiment is from Nature’s Symphony stamp set – stamped in Secret Sea ink. There’s another stamp on there too, on the paper under the leaf, it’s just really hard to see, but it comes from this stamp set as well.
Card & envelope… I left this in the ‘large’ size so you can see the texture on the larger panel of Specialty Paper. I will definitely be playing more with this set! You can see more photos below of the products in this suite – the Nature Walk Suite Collection – out in the January- April 2026 Mini Catalog.
Take a ‘walk’ through the folks participating in today’s hop by clicking the link below or clicking on a name. Enjoy!
Here are photos of this suite of products, plus the front of the catalog. You can see I tabbed it already so I can find what I’m looking for more easily.

Welcome to our blog hop – it’s Thursday! We have a color challenge today that absolutely stumped me at first. But once I pulled out this bundle of Inspiring Imperfections and coordinating products, it all fell in place.
The card base is Crumb Cake cut to 4 1/4 x 11 & scored at 5 1/2. Lost Lagoon is part of the layer on dimensionals and is cut 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 (please cut 2 & save one for the inside of the card. The Basic Beige piece is 3 3/4 x 5 and run through the Joined Together 3D embossing folder, which is part of the Kintsugi Inspirations suite of products in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog on pages 58-60. I added this panel to the Lost Lagoon and set them aside.
I stamped this gorgeous vase from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White scrap, then used Stampin’ Blends in Peach Pie & Mossy Meadow to add additional color. Next I die cut the ‘break’ in Secret Sea and the flower s from Basic White. The flowers I colored with Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends. Once the Vase was in place on the card front (on dimensionals I might add), I attached the ‘break’ and the flowers with dabs of liquid glue. The final touch was to add Wink of Stella to the small flowers and to the flowers & colored leaves on the vase. The final touch was the Flower Accents in the center of each of the flowers.
For the inside … remember the saved Lost Lagoon panel? Attach it to the inside of the card to frame the Basic White stamped panel. 😀. This panel is stamped with another of the vases in the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set and has another of the die cut ‘breaks’ form the coordinating dies in the bundle. And yep – die cut from Secret Sea.
For the envelope, Crumb Cake 2 1/4 x 6 run through the same Joined Together 3D embossing Folder and attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the envelope front, this sweet flower stamped in Peach Pie ink. I love it – & hope you approve.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY. MAY YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY SENDING THEM A HANDMADE CARD FILLED WITH LOVE. ❤️
Whew – we are having a m-a-j-o-r heat wave here in NJ, USA. Thank goodness for air conditioning, which we did NOT have when I was growing up in Indiana. But then, the Internet nor cell phones were a thing then either. Sigh. I digress… my card today uses the stunning Painterly Pears 12×12 DSP (available Jul 1 in my online store) and a few other products. Let’s take a look –
That fun hexagon uses the Meant to Bee Dies.
Basic directions to make this fun fold.
Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 then the front section folded back on itself in half. NOTE: while you could score at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4, I prefer more precise edges (sometimes it’s off a smidge), and that’s why I simply fold it back on itself. Card base is Secret Sea.
Layered panels – card stock: 2 x 5 3/8 (cut 2) 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. I used Misty Moonlight.
DSP layers – 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (cut 2 in coordinating patterns), 2 1/4 x 5 1/4
Basic White layer – 2 1/4 x 5 1/4
For the sentiment panel, using the Meant to Be Dies, I die cut three hexagons: Secret Sea, Misty Moonlight and Painterly Pears DSP. What’s fun about these dies is they die cut not only the hexagon, but a fun edge and it’s that edge that I used for the Misty Moonlight piece. The pear is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist ink and the leaves in Old Olive – both using the Perfectly Pears stamp set. I die cut them with the Perfectly Pears Dies, attached dimentionals to the pear and added it to the hexagon, then added the stem /leaves with a bit of liquid glue and a dimensional behind the right leaf. The sweet ‘hello’ comes from the Perfectly Pears stamp set and it is stampedin Mossy Meadow ink and die cut with a die from the Perfectly Pears Dies. It was added with dimensionals behind on the right & a dab of glue on the left. I added three Low Profile Dots from the Painterly Pears Suite Collection, then attached the hexagon just to the left front panel.
For the envelope, more Painterly Pears 12×12 DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit. The pear is again stamped in Lemon Lime Twist ink and the leaf/stemn in Old Olive ink using appropriate stamps in the Perfectly Pears stamp set. What a friendly, fun looking card and perfect for several occasions. I love the versatility.
Below is a list of products that can be purchased now. Remember the Painterly Pears Suite Collection will be available Jul 1!
Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!
Explosion cards are just that – meant to WOW when opening them. I’ve two of them for you today 0ne is a 4 1/4 square card and the other is a standard A2 card with a finished size of 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. There are advantages to both sizes… both have the same size inside explosion 😀
card one – made with Full of Life 6×6 DSP, Spotlight On Nature Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies, You Are Remarkable stamp set, Beautiful Motifs stamp, Tinsel Gems , Lemon Lime Twist card base, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce & Memento inks. Card base is 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
card two – made with Beautiful Bokeh 6×6 DSP, Spring Corners stamp set, Layered Thoughts stamp, Stitched Shapes Dies, Low Profile Dots, Stampin’ Blends Soft Sea Foam, Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock, Petal Pink card base with an overlay of Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink & Memento inks. Card base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Basic directions…
With the side you wish to have showing most, fold a 6×6 piece of DSP in half, open & turn 90 degrees and fold in half again. Burnish well & open
Turn this piece over and fold in half in a diagonal fashion only once. Burnish and open. This creates the fold across the middle
The white panels on this are made with the largest of the Stitched Squares Dies, stamped and attached with adhesive of choice
Be sure to do all stamping, coloring, decorating before attaching to card base
To attach to card base…
Mark the center point both at the bottom of the card base and close to the center fold of the base
With ‘explosion’ piece completely closed, line up points on the diagonal with center points on card base and adhere to bottom half of card base. Make certain the card base will open and close easily.
Add adhesive to remaining portion of closed ‘explosion’ and close card front. Bingo –
NOTE: Decorate card front before attaching the ‘explosion’ piece.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you give this explosion card a try – super easy and gives a real wow! to a card. May you have a beautiful day!
Products to make these two cards are listed below. Be sure my name is listed as your demonstrator so you get credit (from me) for purchases. 😀
Good Monday morning. How was your weekend.? I’m making progress after knee replacement: can’t drive yet as it’s the right knee, so chauffeuring is the mode of transportation for a while yet. I’ve set up a table on our main floor for card making and was finally able to work at the table for more than 15 minutes! In shifts of time, I’ve made these four cards – all with the 25-27 In Color 6×6 DSP pack Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling. For the sentiments I used the new The Right Words stamp set and cut them out with Nested Essential Dies or the Everyday Details Dies. I added White Bakers Twine from the Twine Essentials Pack and on some, 25-27 In color Flat Pearls. Let’s look.
These two cards are the same except the panels widths were switched, making the largest panel to the right as opposed to the left.
Here I did the same, reversed the largest panel and used another of the fun papers in the 25-27 In Color 6×6 DSP pack with the same colors Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.
I kept the inside very simple – no stamping, just a strip of the DSP either on the side or at the bottom of the Basic White panel.
Just this little strip dresses up the inside :O) One of the nice aspects of using a layout like this is one full 6×6 will make one card, using the extra pieces for the inside of the card and the envelope flap.
Card cuts…
Begin by cutting a panel 3 1/4 x 4 3/4, then trimming that to: 3/4 x 4 3/4, 1 x 4 3/4 and 1 1/2 by 4 3/4. (this will leave a 2 3/4 x 6 strip for covering the flap and adding a strip to the inside of the card)
Adhere panels, reversing sides of the DSP as desired to a Basic White cut 3 9/16 x 4 7/8
Wrap with Bakers Twine 3 times and tie a bow
Stamp sentiment in Cloud Cover ink on Basic White scraps and die cut, adding to the panel with dimensionals.
Add finished panel to card front with dimensionals: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4, or 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
Add embellishments
Add 2 1/4 x 6 strip to envelope flap, trim to fit. This will leave about 1/2″ for card inside
Add cut down strip to inside of card
Now you have a small stack of cards for various occasions – and this can be done with the other colors in this pack as well, making certain some can be used for masculine cards.

It’s rainy here today and should get to 51 degrees – spring IS in the air… I’m a latecomer to getting the Everyday Details bundle but I couldn’t resist the dies a moment longer. They arrived in the mail yesterday and I made this pretty card.
I paired the stamp set with the Basics 3D Embossing Folder and several Stampin Blends to color the stamped image. What do you think? Here’s how to replicate.
* Run the top half of the Thick Basic White card base through the Basic 3D Embossing folder (Crosshatch)
* Stamp the image from the Everyday Details stamp set on Basic White card stock in Memento ink
Color with Stampin Blends: Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, Light Shaded Spruce and Blueberry Bushel
* Die cut with the largest of the rectangle dies in Everyday Details Dies. This creates two cuts… the outer one that I adhered directly to the card front and the stamped panel as well. I did have to trim edges of the outer one to the size you see.
* Adhere the stamped image with dimensionals inside the outer ‘frame’
* add Brushed Basics Butterflies for a final touch
The inside..
For the inside of the card I used a stamp from Garden Meadow stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on the Basic White panel. This was adhered to the inside of the card.
On the envelope… run the flap through the same Basics 3D embossing folder (Crosshatch) and stamp the cute grass and flower image in Granny Apple Green ink on the front. This image is from the Garden Meadow stamp set – and the card and envelope are ready to send. This card is specifically for a woman whose hubby has some health issues and she’s struggling to keep up with all the responsibilities. I should make a dozen of these and send to various folks. It seems lots of individuals are having a hard time these days :O(

Good morning! I’m still in my birthday week and folks have been so generous, both in sending cards and the giving of gifties. Of course, the best gift of all is the gift of friendship :O) Today’s card is just super cute – a triple box card. I may have done one of these in the past, but some time ago.
Is this cute or what?! The Translucent Florals stamp set is a distinctive stamp set, which means it has lots of dimension in the stamp. And it prefers an ink pad that is not too inky. The flower is stamped in Fresh Freesia ink and the leaves are stamped in Parakeet Party ink – both stamps from the Translucent Florals stamp set. Each was die cut with the coordinating Translucent Florals Dies. I also used the Leaves Punch and Vellum to punch some background for the main flower. These are attached to a Basic White Hexagon Punched background, some with with Stampin’ Seal or liquid glue. The flower is on a dimensional in order to tuck the leaves and Vellum elements behind it. The double bow is made with Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack, Lemon Yellow & attached with a single glue dot to hold it in place.
The box itself is made with Berry Burst for the card base and Delightful Floral 12 x 12 DSP.
Card base: 8 1/4 x 4, scored at 2, 4, 6, & 8
Small boxes for front (2) – same color as card base: 8 1/4 x 2 scored at 2, 4, 6, 8

DSP (Designer Series Paper): (2) 3 3/4 x 1 3/4; (10) 1 3/4 x 1 3/4
Directions:
Burnish all score lines. See photos for reference
Add adhesive to smallest scored section, fold over and adhere. Do this for all three boxes.
Add DSP to inside of tallest box sections. This will be the inside back of the box.
Adhere one of the smaller boxes to the tall front box.
Adhere the other smaller box beside it.
Decorate fronts of all three boxes with the 1 3/4″ DSP – this will use six (6) pieces
Adhere shorter pieces of DSP to inside of smaller boxes – this will use the last four (4) 1 3/4″ squares.
All card stock cut pieces

My card today is another one of those that can be used for several different occasions: love you, thinking of you, congratulations, feel better soon, even Valentines – all that.
To make this card, I used a Sweet Sorbet card base and covered the front with this wonderful stripe from Bee Mine DSP. I then die cut the Basic White with Scallop Contour Dies and cut another coordinating panel of Bee Mine DSP to fit inside the ‘stitch’ lines of the die cut. These were both adhered to the card front with liquid glue. With the Stitched Shape Dies, I created a circle from Basic White. I punched the heart using the Country Bouquet Punch ‘cuz I like the shape of the heart :O). I stamped the sentiment first with VersaMark then sprinkled it with white embossing powder then heat set it. The sentiment comes from Perennial Postage stamp set. I adhered this with liquid glue to the circle and the circle to the card front with dimensionals. I tied a double bow with White Bakers Twine and attached it with a glue dot.
For the inside… I had a scrap of the stripe from Bee Mine DSP and simply added it to the top of the Basic White panel, then punched several hearts – again with the Country Bouquet Punch. The Basic White heart is from a scrap that had been embossed with the Tile 3D embossing folder and i really liked how it made the heart sort of ‘come alive’. These were adhered with liquid glue and the inside was complete.
For the envelope, another punched heart with the Country Bouquet Punch for the envelope front and another piece of the stripe from Bee Mine DSP for the flap – and done!

Here’s the deal… I lost Internet yesterday – completely for an entire day. Hubby got a new Modem and it still didn’t work for about 2 1/2 hrs. GRRR. I pulled myself out of the blog hop cuz – no Internet until late on Wed. night and didn’t know when it would work, when it magically and finally DID.. I have removed the links below but wanted you to see the challenge – and of course, my card..
I started with a card base of Copper Clay and added a layer of Wild Wheat. Adhered to that is a Designer Series Paper layer of Fresh as a Daisy with the Moody Mauve side up. The top two layers are Wild Wheat & the Moody Mauve background of the Fresh As a Daisy DSP. Together, those were added with dimensionals. Next – die cutting the daisy using the Cheerful Daisy Dies in Basic White, two layers, and attaching them together with dabs of glue. I used the Light Wild Wheat Blends to add color to the center, then attached the daisy to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Moody Mauve ink on a strip of Bubble Bath and slipped under the mounted daisy with a bit of glue on the backside. I added two die cuts of the branchy/twiggy thing, one in Wild Wheat and the other in Basic White. Because they are so thin, I added those with a coupler of glue dots. For a final touch, I added three Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.
For the inside, a layer of Wild Wheat was added to the card base. I then stamped the Basic White panel with this pretty daisy from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Bubble Bath ink. I didn’t think I would like this color combination, but I really do :O) The Bubble Bath is really a sweet shade of pink.
For the envelope, more of the Moody Mauve from the Fresh As A Daisy DSP for the flap. For the envelope front, a single sweet daisy from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Bubble Bath ink.

Happy Friday! Fun folds are just that, fun. And sometimes easier than they look. I’m sharing a trifold shutter card today that really is quite easy and is a real “show off”. It’s a card within a card. :O) I’ve used Fancy Flora DSP (again!) as it has what I call, a continuous pattern. To coordinate with that, I also used the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and it’s coordinating Two-Tone Dies.
This begins with a full length of card stock 11 x 5 1/2, scored on the long side at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4 and 7. I used Petal Pink card stock for this. Burnish the score lines: mountain, valley, mountain and valley. The next step is to place this on the paper trimmer with the short side to the top and at 1 1/4. Cut from the 1 3/4 score line to the 5 1/4 score line. Turn it over and do the same on the other side. It should look like this.
Cut Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper: it’s helpful to use a DSP that has a continuous pattern and this works really well. Remove 1″ from the top of the 6×6 piece. With the long side at top, cut four pieces 1 1/2 x 5, keeping them in order. Adhere pieces 1 & 4 to the first & fourth panels of the card stock. With the bottom end of the two remaining pieces, trim to 1″ and attach to panels 2 & 3, following the continuing pattern. Turn around and with top of those two strips, cut 1″ from top. Attach those to the tops of panels 2 & 3. That leaves centers of panels 2 & 3 blank. Making certain to follow the continuous pattern of the DSP, trim the remaining piece that coordinates with panel 3. It should measure 1 1/2 x 2 1/2. Now cut a 2 3/4 square with a coordinating card stock. I chose Soft Suede. Cut another piece of Soft Suede 7 1/2 x 5, score on long side @ 3 3/4. Burnish and add to back 4″ panel of the Petal Pink card base. This is what makes the card within a card.
Cut a piece of Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (cut 2) for the additional card panels. Cut a piece of Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 for the very front of the card. Adhere this square to the 2 3/4″ square.
Stamp the two panels that are 3 1/2 x 4 3/4: one is for the inside of the back card, while the other is for it’s front. Use Soft Suede ink to stamp the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set and add to the ‘back’ card front. On the other panel, same size, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set, in stamped off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the detail of that flower with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Adhere both to the appropriate panels.
Notice another panel of DSP on the opposite side of the stamped panel – yep.. that’s a piece of the Fancy Flora DSP, but the reverse side :O) All that’s left to do now is decorate the 2 1/2″ square on the card front. On a scrap of Basic White, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set in stamped-off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the more details flower patten with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Die cut the flower with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Stamp two sets of leaves in Evening Evergreen ink as it coordinates with the DSP :O). Die cut with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Attach the two leaf sets to the back of the flower with dimensionals. See photo.
Add more dimensionals to the back of the flower. Attach a length of the Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent to the Basic White square. Attach flower over the ribbon to the Basic White square of the card front. With the card closed, add three large Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral, then two small Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral.
For the envelope… more Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope flap. For the envelope front, stamp the same flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set with stamped-off Calypso Coral ink, and the detail stamp with full strength Calypso Coral ink. DONE!!!
This DSP is retiring and it’s stunning. The ribbon is also retiring, as is Soft Suede card stock & ink, and Evening Evergreen ink. The Iridesent Pastel Gems are also retiring.
