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

It’s cool again today – 40 degrees… I’m definitely going to wear a heavier jacket when I walk tomorrow! Brushed with Beauty dSP is a new release item come Nov 4 as part of an ONLINE EXCLUSivE suite of products. The paper is gorgeous and I can’t quit using it. When I showed this card to my hubby he immediately said it looked like a windowpane – so I’m coining that word for making this kind of layout. 😁
What is great about this layout is how versatile it is with so many of our Stampin’ Up! papers. And here’s how to do it…
DIRECTIONS FOR WINDOWPANE CARD
cut card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & score @ 4 1/4 (Mossy Meadow
Cut another piece of card stock (same color) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 & run it through the Gathering Leaves embossing folder. Adhere this to the card front
Cut DSP (Brushed with Beauty) 2 3/4 x 4 then cut that with short edge at top:
1 3/4 x 1 1/2 & 1 x 2 1/2 (that leaves a piece 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 & 1 x 1 1/2)
Adhere these to a card panel 3 x 4 1/4 with even separation (Early Espresso)
Adhere this to a card panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 (Very Vanilla)
Add these to the card baser with dimensionals
Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso ink using the Just A Note stamp set
Make a double Linen Thread bow; add to card front with a glue dot
Add sentiment with dimensionals over the bow
For the inside… I cut a piece of this stunning Brushed with Beauty DSP 1/2 x 3 3/4 and adhered it to the bottom of a Vary Vanilla panel 3 3/4 x 5, then added this to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… another piece of this beautiful Brushed with Beauty DSP in a coordinating pattern – 2 14 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit. Bam – done!

Good Tuesday morning. Do you participate in the Paper Pumpkin program – getting this fun box each month to create what’s inside? I do, and sometimes I make alternatives and sometimes I don’t. This months October Cozy Christmas is one of those I didn’t do alternatives, but I did dress up the envelopes and the inside of each card.
For this card… on the envelope – as you can see – I stamped this tree image from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set. Just as an FYI, this also comes with dies. For the inside, I layered a piece of Basic Beige, then added a stamped layer of Basic White. The stamp used is the same as the envelope – Ornamental Christmas.
For the 2nd set of cards in the October Paper Pumpkin, I stamped the envelopes with another of the stamps in Ornamental Christmas stamp set.
For the inside of the cards… in my box was an extra green card base so I used that for the background on two cards then a strip for the third card. For an inside sentiment I used the Christmas Word Collage in Basic White. I highlighted each with Garden Green ink and a Blending Brush. Here they are.
Joy to the World is the theme for the third set of cards in this October Paper Pumpkin Cozy Christmas box.
The same sentiment is stamped on all three of these envelopes and it comes from the stamp set Ornamental Christmas using Garden Green ink. On the inside I used sentiments from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack on a Basic White panel that had been adhered to a Crumb Cake piece slightly larger.
Such a wonderful set of Christmas cards and all ready to be mailed – all from Paper Pumpkin! If you would like to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, please do that here.

Good Morning Monday! Whew – the start of another week in October… Where has the month gone? For me, it has flown by – how about for you? I have a pretty set of cards for you today, all the same layout, same dies, same ribbon, same embellishments, just different colors in the Season of Elegance SDSP. I simply couldn’t quit making these. I was inspired by another demonstrator, Julie Gilson.
Card 1 is in Pretty Peacock. Card 2 is in Basic Beige. Card 3 is in Cherry Cobbler. All three use the same Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and similar layers.
Card 4 uses a brand new Beautiful Pattern embossing folder, coming in the November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE release – available Nov 4. It also has similar layers and comes in Mossy Meadow.
For sentiments on the card fronts I used the Christmas Words Collage bundle die cut from Gold Foil and also Basic White (for the word peace). This set embosses the words & die cuts at the same time, so it’s quite easy to have a bunch words at the ready 😀
Here are the insides of each of those cards – a simple strip of the Season of Elegance DSP added to the bottom of the inside panel.
And below… the envelopes for these beautiful cards – more of the same Season of Elegance SDSP adhered & trimmed to fit the flap. Simple, elegant finish to these stunning cards.
You will notice some of these are on card bases 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 while others are on card bases of 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. It honestly didn’t matter either way, so if I had that already cut, that’s what I used. Super fun cards to make multiples of while also making them unique in color & words.

Good morning – it’s Saturday & cool in this part of New Jersey – 40 degrees! Blanket time and possibly time to bring in firewood for a fire tonight. We’ll see. I have two cards for you today, using products from the November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE release. As a Demonstrator, I am privileged to be able to preorder products before they become available to the public. This is a beautiful suite of two bundles, DSP & Vellum, embellishments and an embossing folder. For today’s cards I did not use the embossing folder. I have two cards to share; one in landscape & one in portrait.
Aren’t these papers stunning – Brushed with Beauty DSP. Love, love. On the landscape card are die cuts in vellum, using the Petals of Beauty Dies. The sentiment & banner die cut use items from the two bundles: Petals of Beauty and Words of Beauty. The bow is Old Olive Linen Thread – a September ONLINE EXCLUSIVE that comes in a two pack – Early Espresso is the other color of Linen Thread in the duo pack. The portrait card again shows die cuts, this time in card stock. I love this flower with the delicate edge! I stamped the flower image twice in Basic Beige ink, layered them then added the delicate die cut in Basic White. A single Pearls of Beauty embellishment is in the flower center. The ribbon is Braided Trim from the Floral Charm Suite (July ONLINE EXCLUSIVES) And here’s the inside of each.
In the landscape card above I added a Branching Out die cut, the smallest, and no stamping. (It is available in the September to December 2025 Mini Catalog) The inside looks a bit plain, so I’m going to add something for sure. On the portrait card, I stamped the two step floral image on Basic White, using Petal Pink & Calypso Coral inks, then die cut it with the Petals of Beauty Dies. This comes from the Petals of Beauty stamp set & coordinating dies in the suite of products. The leaf image is die cut from Mossy Meadow. I did add the Pearls of Beauty embellishment to the flower center. It’s fairly flat & doesn’t add a lot of bulk. The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink & comes from Words of Beauty stamp set – part of the suite of products. Below is a top down view of each of the cards.
Time for instructions in how to make this fun fold accordion design.
Basic Directions for this Accordion Fun Fold:
cut the card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and score @ 5 1/2
cut the DSP 4 x 12 & score @ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9
adhere one end of the DSP to the inside of the card base with equal borders on three sides
adhere opposite end in the same fashion
for the front…
cut a card stock panel in a coordinating color 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
cut a DSP layer 4 x 5 1/4 & adhere to coordinating card stock
attach these two with dimensionals to the card front
decorate as desired

Today’s hop challenge is all about “giving thanks” – and I am grateful for many people in my life. This card is for one of those folks. I’m using products from the November 2025 Online Exclusives – part of the Brushed with Beauty Suite. This bundle is called Words for Beauty.
This card uses what I’m going to call, the ‘backside’ of the DSP. The floral side is absolutely gorgeous and I wanted to use that, but it didn’t seem to fit with the words. The panel is adhered to a Mossy Meadow then added to the Very Vanilla card base with dimensionals. The ribbon is is Very Vanilla…. wrapped around & held in place in back with Tear n Tape. I tied a simple half know & held it in place with a glue dot.The large word ‘because’ actually has three dies. The backing is Crumb Cake, the second layer is Old Olive and the front is Very Vanilla. after adhering together I attached them with dimensionals. The sentiment banner is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White & die cut with one of the dies in the set. The embellishments are the Low Profile Dots in Old Olive – and I used five.
The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Very Vanilla card stock, and comes from the Words of Beauty stamp set. It’s attached to Mossy Meadow card stock and added to the inside of the card. The 1/2 strip is the other side of the Brushed with Beauty DSP. You’ll see it used later this week 😀
I left this photo extra large so you could see the three layers of the larger word. It just didn’t show much in the smaller size. For the envelope… more of the same ‘back side’ of the Brushed with Beauty DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. the sentiment on the front is again from the Words of Beauty stamp set.
Because I’m a demonstrator I have the privilege of being able to order Online Exclusive early – to play with new product and promote them. So it’s a huge benefit to me and my customers & I get very excited with playing with new ‘stuff’. I’m saying all this because now is the perfect to join with me so you can play too. Stampin’ Up! has this wonderful promotion goin on through the month of October. See below the list of those participating in today’s hop – for all the details.

Hello folks… it’s Sunday and going to be another hot & humid day here on the East Coast The trees are beginning to turn but the weather remains h-o-t! So we adjust, right? But to my card…actually cards – I have three, all with the same layout but with different papers from the Winter Meadows Designer Series Papers. I was on a roll and absolutely loving this new (to me) stamp set. I bought it during the 15% off stamp sale 😀
Card 1: Here I used the patterned paper to cover the card base and to create the strip. For Coordinating colors I used Blueberry Bushel and the 2nd largest of the Branching Out Dies to layer the Basic White sentiment layer. The large Merry Christmas was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink. With this sentiment label on dimensionals I was able to add die cuts of pine boughs & berries die cut in Shaded Spruce, Lost Lagoon and the berries in Blueberry Bushel. I added Wink of Stella to the berries. The embellishments are Shades of Green Hexagons. On the inside, I die cut the same size panel of Basic White as the white panel on front and stamped the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink using the Gift of Joy stamp set.
Card 2: For this card, I used another of the papers in the Winter Meadow DSP pack for the background and the strip. I used Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper in silver and Garden green for the pine bough die cuts and Real Red for the berries. Wink of Stellas was added to the berries. The ink for the Basic White sentiment panel (Branching Out Dies of course) is Misty Moonlight. The embellishment here is the Traditional Sparkling Sequins. For the inside, I used Misty Moonlight card stock for the layer of the Basic White sentiment panel. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and is from the Gift of Joy stamp set.
Card 3: This may be my favorite card… I simply reversed where I used the papers from card 1 – the background paper being the blue and the strip being the patterned side of the Winter Meadow DSP. I again used Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper (this time in blue) to die cut pine boughs and Blueberry Bushel for the berries (yes, Wink of Stella on these berries too!) The embellishments are the Sparkling Snowflakes in green. For the inside… another die cut of the berries from Branching Out Dies, this time using the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper in blue – was added to a simple trimmed rectangle stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink using the Gift of Joy stamp set.
These are all larger than usual cards as I used a retired set of cards & envelopes to decorate. This layout was part of our Thursday sketch challenge for the blog hop and is a total CASE of the card by Amy Koenders. I want to give her credit after all! As I mentioned earlier – love this new Merry Christmas stamp set! Products to make this card may be found below.
