Good morning sweet friends – HAPPY THANKSGIVING! My prayer for you is that you are able to be thankful & grateful for your life and those in your life. Life is short – love fully & completely. Our life changes when we support one another & give back. Special blessings!
It’s hop time in the Inkin’ Krew world… and our theme is winter/ snow I had all kinds of ideas going through my head and ended with doing something quite traditional.
The card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Elegant Pines DSP covering the front of the card base. I then pulled out Lost Lagoon card stock & removed any particles with my embossing buddy and proceeded to stamp several snowflake images in VersaMark ink. I sprinkled these with WOW! White Embossing Powder & heat set it with my heat tool. I let that cool and stamped the pine needles in Lost Lagoon ink. I roughed the edges of the Lost Lagoon with my scissors and bent & curled some edges & attached it to the card front with dimensionals. I also stamped a Basic White strip with a sentiment from Delicate Pines in Lost Lagoon ink & snowflake & pine needles in Lost Lagoon and Old Olive inks. I added this fun Bordered Ribbon to the b ack of the sentiment strip & attached it to the Lost Lagoon front with dimesnionals. As a final touch I added these embellishments to the centers of several snowflakes.
For the inside… I fussy cut this snowflake from the Elegant Pines DSP and adhered it with liquid glue to a Basic White panel then stamped the sentiment from Delicate Pines stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.
For the envelope I stamped this wonderful pine branch in VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with WOW! White embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool. When dry I used my Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend to color the area over the snowflake for an emboss resist look. :O) I buffed it gently to remove ink from the embossing.

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! We have a fun sketch challenge today ands I’ve chosen to work with the new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE suite of products called Brushed with Beauty. As a demonstrator I was able to purchase this early in a pre-order and I l-o-v-e it! The colors are really ‘up my alley’ so to speak. Yesterday I shared several links to cards I made with this suite of products. You can see that post here
And … today is hubby & my anniversary… of several/ many years. I am so blessed and thankful. So, today’s card is in celebration of that. ❤️
I started with a Very Vanilla card base and adhered this striped pattern (it’s the ‘b’side to the floral paper showing) directly to the base. I then cut a smaller piece of the same DSP (the ‘a’side) and adhered it to Very Vanilla just slightly larger. This was added to the front with dimensionals. Next I stamped the larger floral outline stamp in Calypso Coral on a scrap of Very Vanilla and colored it with Stampin’ Blends Bronze & Ivory. I die cut this and the detail die (this one is from the Vellum in the suite of products) and attached the two together with a glue dot in the center of the flower. I attached a Pearls of Beauty embellishment to the flower center in Calypso Coral and added it to the card front with liquid adhesive. I die cut two elements from the Words of Beauty Dies: the background layer in very Vanilla and the detail of the word in Petal Pink that had an adhesive sheet attached to it. After die cutting I put them together & added them to the card front with mini dimensionals. I added two more of the Pearls of Beauty in Calypso Coral.
For the inside… I was playing around with color for the flower… stamped the outline stamp on a Very Vanilla scrap in Calypso Coral but colored this one with Stampin’ Blends 1000 & 500. The 1000 is the pinkish color and the 500 is the soft shade of brown. After die cutting the flower & adhering it to a Very Vanilla insert, I added a single Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the Crumb Cake kind of color. The top sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso using the Words of Beauty stamp set. The lower sentiment is stamped in Petal Pink ink using the Sweetly Scripted stamp set.
Keeping this envelope really simple… another panel of the Brushed with Beauty DSP showcasing a Petal Pink coloring, was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. You can purchase these products from my online store – see the link below!

We have a perfect challenge to get us excited about Christmas! Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop 😀 I’m using the Bauble Blooms bundle to create this fun fold today.
I’m using a couple of different coordinating Designer Series papers for my card today: the bauble is die cut from Need for Tweed 12 x 12, the front layer on the flap & the card front is Traditions of Christmas. I love how they work together, brining together both gold & rustic patterns. Now let’s open & see the flap open then the entire card.
Above you can see all the various papers used to create a really eye-catching card. And, it really is not terribly bulky. Using Designer Series Papers that are lighter weight for layers help keep the card light for traditional postage. Let’s do a quick step by step…
Directions:
Die cut the bauble with the Bauble Blooms Dies from both DSP & Old Olive card stock – this creates strength to put on dimensionals. If you so desire, you can adhere the two panels together, then die cut – it works well!
Cut layers for card base: Cherry cobbler 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4; flap is 3 5/8 x 3 5/8 scored on one side at 1/2″: add to card base centering top to bottom with score line at edge. You must make certain you can close the flap over the closedc card. If necessary you can trim 1/16 from card front.
Decorate as shown: layers are 3 x 3 1/2 for flap front & inside flap; card front layers are 2 tone card stock 4 x 5 1/4, DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
Inside layers are: front inside left – DSP 4 x 5 1/4; stamped section – 4 x 5 1/4
Additional decorations were die cut from: Peaceful Gardens Glimmer Paper & Need for Tweed, plus Old Olive card stock & gold foil
Embellishments are Traditional Sparkling Sequins

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.
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.
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!
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.

Welcome to Thursday and this wonderful group of ‘hoppers’! We have a color challenge today and I have chosen to work with the Peaceful Garden DSP, the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper & a bundle called Ornamental Christmas to create a fun fold.
I started with a Secret Sea card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 & cut two strips of the Peaceful Garden DSP 1 1/2 x 4 1/8 and attached to each end leaving equal borders at top, bottom & side. I then took another piece of Secret Sea cut 4 1/4 x 5 12 & scored it on the long side @ 1 3/8 x 2 3/4. Burnish it well so it makes a nice ‘Z’ fold.
Before attaching it to the card base, I added another strip of Peaceful Garden DSP to the inside middle panel of the ‘Z’. I attached it to the card base, centering it. I stamped a Basic White panel 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 using the Ornamental Christmas stamp set & Misty Moonlight ink then added it to the inside panel of the ‘Z’.
I took yet another panel of Secret Sea 2 3/4 x 4 1/4, layered it with Peaceful Garden DSP 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 then attached it to the left panel of the z- fold. I cut a circle from Basic White using the Ornamental Christmas Dies, used Cloud Cover & a sponge dauber to add color to the edges, then flicked it with my Light Secret Sea Stampin’ Blends. I die cut the wonderful star from Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper, popped it on dimensionals & added it to the circle, centering it. For extra glam I die cut the diamond shape for the center of the star from Silver Foil Sheets & attached it with glue. I attached the circle in place on the card front with glue. For the sentiment… a stamp from Peace on Earth stamp set stamped in Misty Moonlight ink, die cut with a die from Ornamental Christmas Dies & added it to the card front with dimensionals.
For the envelope, more of the Peaceful Garden DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. Below is a list of the products to create this card & info to consider about becoming a demonstrator as part of my team 😀

Welcome to Thursday & our fabulous hop! We have a theme challenge today called “Clean & Simple” and I confess… this was not easy for me. I made a card but it used a die & ribbon, but was a step ‘up’ so to speak. And actually I like this card better. 😀
Do you see what I did here? I created a cross with score lines. So, stamp first (Pretty In Pink was used here), turn the card over & with your scoring tool, score lines where you want them. And why flip the card over? I wanted the score lines to be raised on the front, not indented. Make sense? After scoring, I added the stamped piece to a larger layer, then attached those to the card front with dimensionals. Final touch – Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems. So so easy…
For the inside… another stamp in the Love & Courage stamp set is the single word HOPE – – it’s stamped in Pretty In Pink on a Basic White insert piece then added to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… a piece of Subtles 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The traditional cancer ribbon from Love & Courage stamp set was stamped in Pretty in Pink on the flap & on the envelope front.
This is the first card I mentioned that I made that didn’t seem to fit the ‘clean & simple’ challenge. The DSP in the background is 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 in Strawberry Slush and the ribbon & inking is also Strawberry Slush.

Welcome to our Thursday blog hop! You may have come from the fabulous Tara and seen her fun creation – & now you are here. We have a sketch challenge today & I have chosen to use the Snowflake Kisses bundle and Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper to show off the beautiful snowflakes. I hope you like!
I began by die cutting several snowflakes from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. It has three colors: silver, blue and gray – I’m using the first two – the silver & blue. I’ve also chosen to use the Traditional Labels Dies for the center die cuts in Cloud Cover & Basic White. The sentiment is stamped in Azure Afternoon with the Snowflake Kisses stamp set. The ribbon is Silver Edged Ribbon in Misty moonlight.
The card base is Cloud Cover with an added layer of Azure Afternoon just a bit smaller. Then I added a strip of Peaceful Garden DSP upon which I layered the snowflakes & the sentiment panel in the center. Only this sentiment banner is on dimensionals. As you can see, I layered the larger die cut snowflakes and I also colored three of the Faceted Snowflakes with a Stampin’ Blends Dark Azure Afternoon. The other two I left uncolored.
For the inside… I added a strip of the same Peaceful Garden DSP as is on the front to a Basic white panel & adhered an additional die cut snowflake from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. I added the extra little bits of die cuts from one of the snowflakes – simply because they were available & I wanted to use them. 😀
For the envelope… I adhered the last of the die cut snowflakes from the the Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper (in silver) to the front of the envelope & added a starry piece of Peaceful Garden DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. Finis!
This is another one of those cards that is so flexible – this time because of the sentiment on the front & no sentiment on the inside. If needed, I could stamp – ‘thinking of you’ or ‘happy birthday’ or ‘just because’ – and it is easily a masculine card as well. Don’t you love the versatility??? Thanks so much for stopping by.
Now… on with the hop… choose the next button or click on a name – either one, be sure to visit everyone! Happy Hopping.

Happy Thursday – and welcome to our fun hop! We have a sketch challenge today that suggests lots of opportunities. I have chosen to use the Delicate Pines Bundle and Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP to create a pretty Christmas card.
I used Old Olive for my card base and added a layer of Secret Sea then Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP. I added a strip of Secret Sea to follow the sketch challenge. I then fussy cut this pretty snowflake from the designer series paper. I set this aside while die cutting several pine boughs from Cloud Cover card stock. I attached some to the back of the snowflake with Stampin’ Seal, punched a circle with the 2 3/8″ circle punch from Secret Sea card stock to add to the back for stability and to hold the fragile pine boughs in place. I added dimesnionals to this and attached it to the card front. I slipped in more pine boughs where I though the card needed them, attaching with dabs of liquid glue. As a final touch, I added a single red Faceted Snowflake to the center.
For the inside… on the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Delicate Pines bundle in Shaded Spruce ink then stamped the oh so beautiful pine branches in Old Olive ink that I added secret Sea ink with a sponge dauber. This was added to the Secret Sea card stock panel then to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… more Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I used the same beautiful pine bough from Delicate Pines stamp set, inked it with Old Olive ink then used a sponge dauber to create depth & interest. Done!
To me, this is a very masculine card… and I like that! I find it rather difficult to create a masculine type card for most occasions. 🥴 Now… before you get on with the hop, card cuts are listed below as well as a way to purchase these products and other Stampin’ Up! products from me.

Welcome to Thursday and the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Our theme today is an autumn card and I’ve chosen to make an avid card using the Amber Autumn Bundle and other products in the Autumn Toile Suite of products on pages 39-43 in the September – December 2025 Mini Catalog. If you look at page 42, you will see a similar card , I’ve just added a few items to make it a bit more wow!
Then card base is Basic Beige with an added layer of Early espresso & a slightly smaller layer of Amber Toile DSP. I created two strips (banners really) using the back side of the larger DSP panel. I trimmed the ends using the new & fabulous Party Banner Dies. With the largest of the circles in the Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut a circle from Gathering Together Specialty DSP. I turned this saame paper to the other side and die cut several leaves with the Amber Autumn Dies. With this die, then ‘vein’ of the leaves pops out. I mixed up those ‘veins’ and put them in other die cut leaves. The only one I left with it’s original center is the leaf die cut from the same side of the DSP as the circle. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink with an Amber Autumn sentiment, then popped the circle on the card front with dimensionals. I added the die cut leaves with liquid glue except for one – that’s on mini dimensionals. I tied a double bow with the coordinating Early Espresso Thread and attached it with a glue dot. Final touch… two Streaked Dots from the suite of products
For the inside… I stamped the acorn & leaf image with Basic Beige ink. It comes from the Amber Autumn stamp set and it’s a favorite image! I then stamped the sentiment, also from the Amber Autumn stamp set in early Espresso ink. This Basic White panel was added to an Early espresso piece then attached to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, another piece of the Gathering Together Specialty DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, I die cut another leaf using the Amber Autumn Dies and Gathering Together Specialtyb DSP and attached it with glue to the front. This card is being sent to a special person who has a September birthday 😀. I really like this card.
Want to make this card? See the photos below & shop with me. Card cuts are listed below as well. For every order of $50 & above from today Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial (for September it’s the Amber Autumn bundle!), but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers. Get double daisy patch rewards too. Daisy Patch rewards is my way of thinking my customers for shopping with me. For every single order of $50 or more before shipping & tax, and every full increment of $50n order (before shipping & tax), earn double the daisy patch rewards during this week Sep 3 – Sep 10, 2025.
