Good morning – it’s Friday and I have two cards for you this morning using the debossed side of paper run through this fabulous Sunflower 3D embossing folder. And, it’s an off-set gatefold card. In a traditional gatefold card, both closing sides are the same width; this off-set means one side (the right side in this case) is more narrow. Let’s take a peek…
The card on the left is made with a Bubble Bath card base, embossed Basic White card stock, and Bubble Bath ink. The card on the right is made with Fresh Freesia card stock and a layer of embossed Fresh Freesia sprinkled with WOW! Metallic Embossing Powder in silver and heat set with the heat tool. It gives this card a real element of elegance. The sentiment on each card is from the Everday Greetings stamp set die cut with the Tailor Made Tags Dies. White Basic Twine was run through the hole in the tag and tied into a bow. The tag was adhered with dimensionals to the larger side of the card front.
For the inside of the card… I had started with a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel to emboss with the Sunflower Embossing folder. After inking the debossed side, I trimmed it down and there was a narrow remaining piece – which I adhered to the Basic White insert. I also stamped the sentiment: Bubble Bath for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second. These were adherred and the cards were complete.
For the envelope… I took another strip of Basic White, ran it through the Sunflower 3D embossing folder, inked the debossed side: again, Bubble Bath ink for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second card. For the second card I again sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic embossing powder in silver and heat set it. Each was adhered to a Basic White envelope and trimmed to fit. Card cuts are listed below.
Just a word about inking an embossed panel… if you saw yesterday’s post, it indicated a 45 degree angle when running the ink pad along the embossed piece. For these cards, the angle was more like a 20 degree angle and I liked it much better. Practice, right?!
Card cuts:
Card bass 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on long side @ 1 1/4 & 5 1/2
Embossed layer 4 x 5 1/4 trimmed to 2 7/8 x 5 14, 1 x 5 1/4, remainder used for inside
Basic White for inside 4 x 5 1/4
Envelope flap 2 1/4 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit

Hello folks – it’s Thursday and we have a sketch challenge today. Because I needed a birthday card I pulled out the very cute & fun Hearts & Hugs bundle to create this card.
The creatures in this Hearts & Hugs bundle are just so incredibly C-U-T-E! I used Stampin’ Blends to color them after stamping on Basic White scraps with Memento ink: Gray Granite and Light Smoky Slate & the Color Lifter. For the ears/ cheeks, just a bit of Pretty in Pink. I used the Basic Black Marker to darken the noses. Once all colored I die cut them with the coordinating die from the Hearts & Hugs Dies. After coloring, I pulled the rest of the card together.
Card base: Smoky Slate 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Layer the card front with Take To The Sky DSP 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
To meet the sketch challenge, I cut a piece of Basic White 3 x 4 and added another layer of DSP from Take To The Sky DSP 2 7/8 x 3 7/8. These were added to the card front with dimensionals
I put dimensionals on the back of the two hugging beasts (what are they?) and added them to the lower left corner.
Using the banner die from Hearts & Hugs Dies, I die cut a Blueberry Bushel tag & added it to the card front with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink – from Hearts & Hugs stamp set, trimmed it down and added it with dimensionals to the banner.
As a final touch, I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Pebbled Path
For the inside of the card, I stamped another cute beast – is this a chipmonk?) on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 and colored him similarly to the two on the card front
stamp in Memento ink
color with Stampin’ Blends – Gray Granite, Light Smoky Slate, Color Lifter and bits of Pretty in Pink for the ears and cheekbones. The nose & eyes I used Basic Black Marker to darken.
I stamped the hearts in Pretty In Pink ink – again from the hearts & Hugs stamp set
For the envelope… more of the Take To The Sky DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.
Along the bottom of the envelope front I stamped the sentiment from Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Pebbled Path ink.

It’s the second Tuesday of the month and time for a hop :O) Our theme this month is ‘birthday’ and can be interpreted however we like. I have created a fun fold – and since this is my ‘big day today’, that’s kinda fun – like making my own birthday card. hahaha
I couldn’t help it, this fun fold is so fun to make I had to make another :O) The first is made with the Hot Air Balloon suite of products. The second card is made with the Jungle Pals bundle. It was a bit more time consuming due to the animals and all the coloring – but still worth it in every way. I’m going to walk you through the cutting of the card stock, then the decorating of the Hot Air Balloon Center Pop-Up card. I’ll be back later this week with directions for coloring the Jungle Pal animals.
Cutting the card base:
Base is 5 1/2 x 8. On the 8″ side, score at 2″ & 6″
On the 5 1/2″ side, line up on the Paper Trimmer at 1 1/4″ and cut between score lines only. Flip card and do the same at other end
On the 8″ side, line up on Paper Trimmer @ 3″ & 5″, score between cut lines only
On the 8″ side, line the paper @ 4″ on the Paper Trimmer, score above & below cut lines only
This is what your card base should look like after cutting & scoring. Yes, this is decorated with card stock to give you a better visual of what the cutting lines and scoring lines should look like.

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The theme for this week is CELEBRATE and I chose birthday. I’ve had the Zany Zoo Suite of products for a bit, but hadn’t used it yet. With this challenge, it was the perfect opportunity to play. I used the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog to give me a bit of inspiration – and the rest is history. Once I got going, the inspiration just kept coming.
This little singing turtle was an image I HAD to use. I cut it out of the Zany Crew Designer Series Papers. I really like the fact that Stampin’ Up! has started creating images on their DSP that can be die cut with the coordinating Dies. ~ and so I did, then colored it with Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends. I die cut a stool for him to stand on using the same Zany Zoo Dies. I also die cut this other creature holding balloons – is it a raccoon or is it a badger? I can’t decide! I colored it as well, this time with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I also die cut the sweet tulips and the single balloon, as well as the banner with the sentiment. All these came from the Zany Zoo Dies. The cute little music notes also come from the Zany Zoo stamp set, as does the sentiment on the banner die cut. The ‘grass’ along the bottom comes from the Beautiful Balloon Dies and is die cut from Lemon Lime Twist card stock.
The card base… is Pool Party card stock 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I cut a panel of the Zany Crew DSP to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and trimmed the opposite corners. I colored the DSP with Pool Party ink and a Blending Brush. I adhered it with liquid glue as you see it. The next layer of Pool Party is 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 and was attached with dimensionals after it was completed . The DSP under the sentiment banner is the same pattern as the Pool Party colored DSP. Can’t you just ‘hear’ this cute frog singing Happy Birthday to you?! The single balloon is attached with Black Baker’s Twine form the Twine Essentials Pack. I attached it to the back of the balloon with a dab of liquid glue, then simply ‘tucked it’ near the hand after the balloon was added to the card with a dimensional. A two-fisted animal with balloons!
On the inside… I added a panel of Lemon Lolly card stock to the card base. The Basic White panel has a strip of the Zany Crew DSP that was colored with Pool Party and a Blending Brush, same as the DSP on the card front. The sentiment is stamped in Memento ink and comes from Zany Zoo stamp set. The additional stamping – looks like confetti – is also from Zany Zoo stamp set and is stamped with Memento ink. I colored various aspects of the confetti with Blends: Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Crumb cake. Mostly it took just a touch of ink.
For the envelope… more Zany Crew DSP added to the flap. For the front I used the 2 3/8 circle punch to punch this fun image from the Zany Crew DSP and adhered it to the envelope with Stampin’ Seal all around the edges of the circle. Tis a happy, fun birthday card.

It’s Monday morning and a full day ahead… what are your plans? I’ve a bit of computer work today, card making :o), gardening :O) and more, but first, I want to share this masculine birthday card. Part of what makes it masculine is the colors, another is its simplicity and non-fussiness.
I began with retiring Sahara Sand card stock to make this A2 top fold card. Does it seem that I’m trying to use my stash in preparation for all the new? Well – you are sooooo right! I have gotten stuck however, using what’s on my desk. :O( Nonetheless… here’s the card.
As I mentioned, Sahara Sand for the card base. Starting from the front:
By the Bay DSP cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8
Layer this to Basic White 3 x 4
Adhere both to a coordinating By the Bay DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
And Balmy Blue 4 x 5 1/4.
Wrap with a length of Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (carrying over!). Adhere ribbon in back with Stampin’ Seal
Adhere all this to the card base with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White scrap. This sentiment comes from Waves of Inspiration stamp set – carrying over!
Die cut sentiment with Waves Dies, carrying over… and adhere over the ribbon with dimensionals
Add three Enamel Dot Essentials in Crumb Cake and the front is complete
For the inside… adhere a Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 to a Balmy Blue piece 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere a strip of By the Bay DSP to the bottom and attach all this to the inside of the card.
The envelope… super simple… a coordinating piece of By the Bay DSP for the envelope flap and this masculine card is ready to be sent.
Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy inks. :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Enamel Dot Essentials or the Sahara Sand card stock.Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.

If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM from me up to $10 + the Star-Studded Rewards.

MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY SENDING THEM A HANDMADE CARD FILLED WITH LOVE.
Welcome, welcome… to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a fun sketch challenge today to get our creative juices flowing. It will be fun to see what the others on the team share.
Here’s my card. These Ready Rhinos bundle are just too cute ~ I just HAD to make another card with them. And this is my first play with the Radiating Stitched Dies and I’m really liking them too. Both of these are part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES found on the online store. You may find that link here. But let’s get back to the card… The card base is Mossy Meadow cut as an A2 tent fold. The largest of the Radiating Stitched Dies was used to die cut Happy Forest Friends DSP and was adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Seal. The next to largest of the Radiating Stitched Dies was used to die cut the Sahara Sand layer and that was added to the card front with dimensionals. The rhino was stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap, then colored with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. Be sure to leave a little white areas for depth :O) The rhino was die cut with the Rhino Ready Dies. To die cut the leaves, I looked for a green DSP that had some variation to it and found it in the Hues of Happiness DSP pack – so… die cut 4 palm leaves, two small & two larger using the Rhino Ready Dies. I also stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on another Basic White scrap (sentiment is from Rhino Ready stamp set) and die cut that with a banner die from the Gingko Branch Dies.
I put dimensionals on the ends of the sentiment banner & Stampin’ Seal in between and placed it on the card. I added the rhino with dimensionals only on his right side, then slipped the palm leaves under the rhino, adding with liquid glue. My final touch for the card front was placing the three Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls for a bit of glam.
I have to say, I really like the inside of this card. Maybe it’s the texture per the Radiating Stitched Dies. Here’s what I did… I used the largest of the Radiating Stitched Dies to die cut a panel of Old Olive card stock, then die cut with the next smaller Radiating Stitched Die a panel of Basic White. I adhered the remaining palm leaf die cut earlier from the Rhino Ready Dies, with liquid glue. I then stamped the birthday sentiment using the Rhino Ready stamp with Memento ink. Both the Old Olive panel and the Basic White piece were adhered with Stampin’ Seal and the card was complete.
For the envelope I simply added a panel of the Happy Forest Friends DSP to the flap and called it enough. Love the Rhino Ready Bundle and the Radiating Stitched Dies – both from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. All other items to make this card are in a catalog. Everything is listed below when you are ready to purchase.

Make someone happy sending them a handmade card filled with love.
Good Tuesday morning and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Appreciate your loved ones, all of them. Send them a note or give them a call, whatever works for you. It’s never too late to let folks know you care about them. Thank you for joining me today – remember, I care about you! And welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group!
Today’s card plays along with the challenge for this week – a birthday card. And it’s a Diamond Flip card that’s fun to do, and did I say easy?
Gosh, the photo is a bit dark… but isn’t this a sweet card? Here’s a photo of it unfolded showing the outside.
And here’s one of it folded showing the inside. Notice the diamond on the left is ‘flipped’, or folded.
And one more photo… this one shows the front again, with the diamond fold to the inside. This way you clearly see how it’s all put together.
Directions:
Cut card base (here I used Granny Apple Green) 4 1/4 x 11 and score at 2 1/8 & 5 1/2
On the 2 1/8 end, mark the center point, on the short side which happens to be 2 1/8.
Fold card in half – on the 5 1/2 score line
Cut from the 2 1/8 score line to the point mark on a diagonal, going through both layers.
Now do the other cut from 2 1/8 score line to point. By cutting both ends at the same time, this makes the ends exactly the same!
Cut a 3″ square, also from Granny Apple Green, and adhere to the 2 1/8 end, adhering just to score line. This allows that end to be flexible.And this is the end to be decorated.
Add a 2 7/8″ square, this time in a coordinating color or Basic White. I chose Textured Shimmer Paper in Balmy Blue
Stamp the floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride ink, then die cut with coordinating die from Organic Beauty Dies.
Stamp the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink using True Beauty stamp set. Die cut with coordinating die using Organic Beauty Dies
Adhere the floral image with dimensionals to the now diamond. Slip the leaves under this a bit and adhere with liquid glue.
Cut a banner 1/2 x 3 1/4 and stamp with sentiment from Sentimental Park stamp set, in Merry Merlot ink. Slip banner just under flower and adhere with liquid glue.
Add bow ribbon with glue dot: Twill Ribbon Combo Pack in Old Olive
Add Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink (Jan-Apr Mini Catalog)
Cover floral image with Wink of Stella
Add Balmy Blue panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/8 to card front
Add Awash In Beauty DSP over Balmy Blue, 3 1/8 x 4 1/8
For the inside
Add a 3 1/8 x 4 panel of the Awash in Beauty DSP to the panel on left
Stamp the sentiment using Sentimental Park stamp set and Merry Merlot ink on the Basic White panel (3 1/8 x 4)
Stamp the flower in Blushing Bride ink using the True Beauty stamp set, cover in Wink of Stella then add more Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink
Cut a 2 7/8 square from Awash in Beauty DSP, cut in half creating two triangles. Adhere to each inside end
This card fits perfectly in a regular size envelope and I forgot to take a photo! However… here’s what I did… Cut another piece of Awash in Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6, add to envelope flap & trim to fit. Stamp a floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride, adding a bit of Merry Merlot to the center with your finger or a sponge dauber, then stamp on front of envelope. Cover with Wink of Stella.

WooHoo, it’s February 13 – do you know what that means? Of course not… but, it’s my birthday today 😀 Yep – right next to Valentines Day… but my friends & family don’t forget. I’ve received some really lovely cards from fellow stampers & I’m going to share several of them with you today.
The one on the left has a fancy corner fold and uses the Fancy Flora DSP; the card on the right uses the Beautifully Happy stamp set that is FREE during Sale-a-bration with a $50 order + the Fabulous Frames Dies.
The card on the left uses the Petal Park bundle from the Jan-April Mini catalog while the card on the right uses the Harvest Dies and the Contour Dies from the Annual Catalog.
These two cards I did not intentionally pair together, but interestingly they both use the Season of Chic bundle along with the Texture Chic Specialty DSP. Aren’t they fun?!
The card on the left uses the Country Bouquet bundle and Country Floral Lane DSP from the Jan-April Mini Catalog. The card on the right is lovely and I totally forget what stamp set that is – I’m thinking it is a retired set.
And just one more card today… and a picture of me with some beautiful tulips in front of our fireplace.I didn’t keep the tulips there long as the heat would have made them open even more!
The card on the left used the Favored Flowers DSP that is currently FREE during Sale-a-bration and the awesome Fragrant Flowers bundle from the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog. The photo at right is me, this year, 2023 with the birthday tulips from our kids. Aren’t all these fun – the cards ‘n all? I was delighted – so this is going to make me more diligent to send cards to my fellow stampers!
Here’s what I decided to do – give you a bit of a special for these next days… let’s say from today the 13th – Fri. the 17th at end of day, 2023 – and the special will be a single FREE IEM from me with at least a $50 order.

I am smitten with the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper and have made a fun birthday card with it. This is so super easy you will want to make one too.
This little fox is just so stinkin’ C-U-T-E! Look at that grin & that sassy walk. That little guy is die cut straight from the Rain or Shine DSP and die with the Layering Circles Dies. It’s back layer is Mango Melody die cut with the Layering Circles Dies, scallop. Ok, directions.
Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 scored at 4 1/4 and I used Balmy Blue
Remove 1″ from card base front & trim that strip to 3 1/2″, then score one end at 1″
Attach the short end of this strip to the card back with the score line at the edge – long end to the right
Add a 1 1/4 x 5 3/8 strip of DSP over top of strip – see the raindrop strip in photo, that’s it.
Attach the circle die cut to the long end of the strip. I wanted a nice ‘finish’ to the back side so die cut another circle with the Layering Circles Dies from Brights 6×6 DSP in Mango Melody & adhered it to the back side.
A panel of Basic White 2 3/4 x 5 3/8 is stamped with the birthday sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set in Memento ink. Adhere to inside of card.
Back to card front… Add a panel of Rain or Shine DSP to the card front – 3 1/8 x 5 3/8
Stamp a sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White Scrap & die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies.
Add a Mango Melody strip behind it 5/8 x 2 1/4. This could be a length of ribbon instead, or a pice cut slightly larger than the sentiment panel. Add with dimensionals to the card front
I added three Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Mango Melody for a bit of bling.
Super easy card – and you could easily change it up… front flap embellished could be a square, a rectangle, a heart. All kinds of possibilities!
For the envelope… more of the Brights 6×6 DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit and another die cut from the Rain or Shine DSP, this time die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. A super fun card to send & receive!

Wow – Dec 1 was amazing, wasn’t it? All the goodies Stampin’ Up is offering in the LAST CHANCE SALE and the CLEARANCE RACK – it’s hard to say ‘no’. PLUS there is the ability to order the Fitting Florets Collection and well – lots going on in the Stampin’ Up! world.
So here I am with a different kind of card for you… I’m working with the Wisteria Wishes stamp set and coordinating Wisteria Dies. I’ve also included some stampin and a bit of the 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper. The color I’m using is Orchid Oasis, cuz, wisteria is often purple, right? And glimmer paper is well, just sparkly & fun. I’ve also done some stamping. Let’s take a look.
The card base is Thick Basic White. The next layer is the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Glimmer Paper in Orchid Oasis. The next layer is Basic White that I ran through the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. Doesn’t it remind you of a brick wall? It does to me! Then I did some stamping and die cutting.
Stamping: In the background I hope you see the wisteria from Wisteria Wishes stamp set, in a different shade than the glimmer paper~ that’s a two-step stamp: first the background stamped in Highland Heather ink, then the detail stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink, then die cut with the Wisteria Dies. I also stamped the wisteria leaves/branch from Wisteria Wishes stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink and used a sponge dauber to add some depth with Old Olive ink. I did some additional die cutting with the Wisteria Dies: leaves/branch from Pear Pizzazz card stock & three more wisteria, this time from the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Glimmer Paper in Orchid Oasis. Because the Glimmer paper is graduated in shade, it provides a really nice variance/ difference in each of those particular die cuts. The leaves/ branch die cuts are adhered with liquid glue; the stamped wisteria are adhered with dimensionals; the glimmer paper wisteria are added with liquid glue. I love how many of the leaves are loose to create depth ands the glimmer paper wisteria are free-flowing at the ends – also to create depth. The sentiment banner is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a Basic White strip using the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I trimmed the end into a ‘banner tip’ then added it to the card front with dimenstionals. Final step… the three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in Orchid Oasis.
For the inside, I chose another branch die cut from the Wisteria Dies and Pear Pizzazz card stock, slightly trimmed, to adhere around the stamped Highland Heather ink sentiment from Happiness Abounds stamp set. At the bottom is a scrap of the leftover 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper in Orchid Oasis.
For the envelope… a 2 1/4 x 6 strip of the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP for the envelope flap, trimmed to fit. The sentiment is from Happiness Abounds and stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink. I made a bit of a ‘bluber’ (mistake) when I stamped, so used the Gorgeous Grape Marker to create this fun design around it to look like a postage stamp 🥴 And it’s ready for mailing! What do you think? Do you like?
