Stampin’ Up! Springy Inside Gatefold with Glow of Harvest DSP & NEW Tile Garden Bundle

It’s Friday – where did the week go? It’s been hot & humid in NJ this week, a perfect time to be inside & create 😀. In card class yesterday we made this fun gatefold card that has a ‘springy’ inside. It’s so fun to open! And I used the September Product of the Month – the Glow of Harvest SDSP – it’s sparkly!

Stampin' Up! Springy inside gatefold w/ Glow of Harvest SDSP card front

This is a traditional gatefold card – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 on one end then the other side brought over to meet it. The card base is Early Espresso with a layer of Golden Glow 2 x 5 3/8 on each front panel, then a layer of the Glow of Harvest SDSP 1 7/8 x 5 1/4.

And here’s the finished inside. The center section is the ‘springy’ part. The inside panels are more of the same pattern of Glow of Harvest SDSP cut 1 7/8 x 5 1/4.

Stampin' Up! mechanism for 'springy' inside of gatefold

Stampin' Up! 'springy' mechanism  attached to inside card

To create the mechanism, cut a strip 8 x 1 1/2 and scored @ 1 ¼, 2, 2 ¾, 5 ¼, 6 & 6 ¾. Burnish all score lines making certain the strip edges are even. After scoring, fold it as shown above in the left photo. Attach this to the inside panel, centering it, and with the ends touching. It should look like the photo on the right.

The center panels are Cajun Craze 3 ¾ x 5 and Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4. Stamp the Basic White panel prior to adhering it. I used Crumb Cake stamped off once for the leaves and Golden Glow stamped off once for the small flowers. These are from the NEW Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog that can be ordered from Sep 1! Don’t have a catalog? Let me know & I can fix that. 😀

The belly band is 1 3/4 x 10 (Early Espresso) and wrapped around the card to the front. Keep it loose enough so it easily slips on & off. Secure the ends of the belly band together while it is around the card – just be careful with the amount of adhesive!

Remove the belly band & create the front decor…I used the NEW Tile Garden Dies to create these two panels – Golden Glow (this is about 2 3/4 square) and Basic White (less than 2 1/4″ square) Stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso using the stamp in the Tile Garden stamp set, then stamp the floral image sort of as a background… again stamping off first each time – Crumb Cake for the leaves and Golden Glow for the flowers. Final touch – Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots also from the new catalog. I used them as centers to the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Springy inside Gatefold w/ Tile Garden & Glow of Harvest SDSP, card & envelope

For the envelope, I used another pattern of the Glow of Harvest SDSP to attach to the flap & trimmed to fit. And on the front this same flower image from the Tile Garden stamp set – Crumb Cake for the leaves and Golden Glow for the flowers, stamped off each time.

The Product of the Month is available for purchase when placing an order of $75 – and it’s only $5! This is stunning pearlized paper & will be available Sep 1 – same day you can order from the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog.

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!!!

Stampin’ Up! Moonlit Flora for a Book Fold

Good morning, good morning. The Moonlit Flora DSP has been super popular & I’m using it today to make a book fold card. That luna moth is in it’s glory & the focal point for this card.

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora DSP in a book fold

Measurements:

  • Card base: Secret Sea 11 x 4 1/4, score @ 5 1/2 & 4 1/2
  • Layer: Peaceful Pine 7/8 x 4 1/8; 4 3/8 x 4 1/8; inside 4 3/8 x 4 1/8
  • DSP: Moonlit Flora 3/4 x 4; 4 1/4 x 4; inside – 4 1/4 x 4 1/8; flap – 2 1/4 x 6
  • Basic White: inside – 4 1/4 x 4

When cutting the DSP, it’s helpful to have the ‘scene’ go all the way across., therefore the initial cut of the DSP should be 5 x 4, then trim left end to 3/4 leaving 4 1/4 for the right side. I added the 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Secret Sea & Gold (available Sep to customers!) for focus and prior to adding the inside layer of DSP. The sentiment is from the Fern & Flora stamp set with the border in Secret Sea & the sentiment in Peaceful Pine. It was die cut with the coordinating Fern & Flora Dies and added with dimensionals. The extra elements are the Adhesive-backed Metallic Gems in gold – and there are five of them.

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora DSP book fold inside

The inside… DSP on the left is from Moonlit Flora & just adds a nice touch to this card. On the right, the Basic White panel is with the fern leaf three times without re-inking – in Peaceful Pine. The butterfly is stamped in Secret Sea. Both are from the Fern & Flora stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Moonlit Flora DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… more Moonlit Flora DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit. The stamping on the front is in Peaceful Pine – the same fern stamp as on the inside, but this time re-inked each time before stamping again.

These products are all from the May-Aug 2026 Catalog (except for the ribbon).

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies on Triangle Gatefold Flip-Up Card

Happy Friday! Golly the week has gone f-a-s-t… I have a sneaky peek of two new items in the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog: the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies AND the Tile Garden stamp set. Both of these come as separate bundles but this is how I paired them for this card – and it’s a fun fold too!

Stampin' Up! Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies w/ Triangle Gatefold Flip-Up card & envelope

I used an old set of 6×6 papers called Bokeh, but you could use any papers that would compliment the dies and the stamp set – or change the stamp set!

Card cuts & how to:

  • Card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 – I used Berry Burst
  • mat: I used the Bokeh 6×6 DSP ~ 4 x 5 1/4
  • Cut 2 panels of Bokeh 6×6 DSP 3 3/4 x 3 3/4,
    • score on the diagonal, burnish folds and attach to backside of the 4 x 5 14 piece
    • Add to front of card base
  • Add Basic White (2 1/2 x 3 1/2) to back of another piece of Bokeh 6×6 DSP for sturdiness (2 1/2 x 3 1/2) ~ die cut with 2nd smallest die in the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies
    • Cut Basic White (1 1/2 x 2 12) for stamping images from the Tile Garden stamp set ~ stamp leaves in Lost Lagoon and flower in Fresh Freesia. Add to die cut piece. Embellish w/ 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Golden Glow & a double Linen Thread bow; set aside
  • On the inside... cut another piece of Basic White w/ the 2nd largest Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies: stamp the sentiment in Berry Burst ink and the flowers in Fresh Freesia ink from the Tile Garden stamp set; add to inside of gatefold on the large DSP panel
  • Add the set aside front die cut all stamped & ready – to the left side of the DSP triangle gatefold – with dimensionals, centering so it is centered with the inside Basic White scalloped piece
  • Flip the card open to create the final Basic White panel (4 x 5 1/4) … stamp the sentiment in Berry Burst ink, the leaves in Lost Lagoon and the flowers in Fresh Freesia – all using the Tile Garden stamp set. Add Golden Glow accents from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots. Attach to the inside of the card.
  • Envelope
    • Add the 2 12/4 x 6 strip of Bokeh 6×6 DSP to the flap, trimming to fit
    • Stamp the scallop stamp in Berry Burst ink three times, re-inking each time
    • Stamp the Flowers in Fresh Freesia ink three times, re-inking each time.
    • Both these stamps are from the Tile Garden stamp set

Yay! This card is ready to be sent to my grand niece! It’s such a feminine & lovely card. The stamp bundle and the die bundles are in the Sep-Dec. 2026 Catalog – available Sep 1. If you do not have a demonstrator, I would very much like to send a catalog to you so you can order from me. Please let me know how I can help with that opportunity.

Good morning! Today is such a FUN FOLD blog hop 😀, I can’t wait to see what others on the team have created. I have two versions of the floating gatefold and will give you measurements for both. One is made with the Framed Violets bundle and it’s coordinating DSP called Violet Dreams. The other is with a bundle from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE that is older and just too cute.. Cutest Crew – and Beautiful Ordinary Life 12×12 DSP. You can use so many different papers or bundles for this fun fold.

  • Do stamping prior to attaching the Basic White pieces ~ for center panels & back (for writing your stuff!)
  • Burnish all score lines: card base ~ mountain, valley, valley, mountain; floating section ~ mountain, valley, valley, mountain.
  • Centering floating piece top to bottom, add to the last fold on right butting fold of floating section against fold of card base.
  • Do the same on the left side, centering top to bottom.
  • Add final piece of DSP over this attached floating element
  • Wrap belly band around closed card and add glue to each end to attach together. DO NOT LET IT STICK TO THE CARD!!! 😀
  • Decorate belly band

Stampin’ Up! Side Flap Fun Fold

Had a card class just yesterday and we made a very pretty fun fold that I want to share with you. It has a wonderful focal point by die cutting from the gorgeous Velvet Meadow SDSP with the coordinating Flowering Meadow Dies – and using the Scalloped Blooms Dies for background. I hope you like 😊

Stampin' Up! Side Flap Fun Fold

And here’s the inside… and the photo beside it shows the flap raised

Stampin' Up! Side Flap Fun Fold inside
Stampin' Up! Side Flap fun fold, flap raised

The sentiments on the inside and on the flap are made with thew hot foil system & the Sweetly Sentimental hot foil dies. LOVE, LOVE.

And here are the deets for making this card…

  • The card base is 9 1/2 x 4 1/4 scored at 4 & 7 1/2 (Thick Basic White)
  • With the short side at the top with the last score line near top, place the paper at the 1 1/4 mark on the right side of the trimmer and CUT BETWEEN THE SCORE LINES
  • Without removing the paper, simply move it to the 1 1/2 mark on the left of the trimmer & CUT BETWEEN SCORE LINES
  • Turn the paper 90 degrees to the LEFT and score at 4″ both ABOVE AND BELOW THE CUT LINES
  • Leaving the paper in place but moving to the 3 1/2″ mark, SCORE THE CENTER SECTION
  • Burnish & fold score lines like this: with the 7 1/2″ score line on the left, mountain fold (folding back on itself); the 3 1/2 score (center section) is also a mountain fold; the two 4″ score lines above & below the cut sections are valley folds; the last is the center section only as a valley. From the top it should look like the photo below
Stampin' Up! Side Flap Fun Fold top view
  • Add a 1 3/4 x 4″ strip of DSP to the end section (I used the back side of a piece of the Velvet Meadow that has a Basic Beige design)
  • Cut a panel of Basic White 3 3/4 x 8 & score at 4; with the fold at the top, add this panel to the wide side section of the card base; decorate it’s front with the same DSP from Velvet Meadow SDSP – 3 1/2 x 3 3/4

Next step is to decorate:

  • Die cut two scallop pieces using the Scalloped Blooms dies & Basic White: maybe 3rd from smallest (approx. 2 3/4″)
  • Die cut one scallop piece from Berry Burst: maybe 2nd from smallest (approx 2″)
  • Adhere the berry burst piece to one of the larger Basic White scallops.
  • Die cut the double flowers from the Velvet Meadow SDSP using the appropriate die in Flowering Meadows Dies. Fussy cut at least one more flower – adhere these to the Scallop pieces with dimensionals. Fussy cut several leaves to add to the back of the flowers with liquid glue.
  • Tie a double bow with the Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbpn (ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) and use Baker’s Twine in White to make a knot. Secure in place with a glue dot slipping it under the flowers.
  • Add this to the center section of the fold with liquid glue – see photo above for placement
  • Add five embellishments in Berry Burst
  • Add additional scallop to the front of the ‘flap’, trimming one side so the card closes properly
  • Do the hot foil for the sentiments using the pink foil, Basic Beige card stock and the Sweetly sentimental hot foil dies. Add sentiments appropriate to your occasion – there are several in this from which to choose! I trimmed and added one to the scallop on the flap, then added another to the inside of the flap portion of the card. I also added a trim at the bottom of the inside flap – from the Velvet Meadow SDSP
  • For the envelope… more Velvet Meadow SDSP (2 1/4 x 6) cut, adhered & trimmed to fit the flap. For the front of the envelope, I adhered a fussy cut flower from the SDSP to the edge.

The above photo is the back of this card.

To decorate the small Basic White panels: stamp the snail in Memento black ink and color with Stampin’ Blends with Crumb Cake. The sentiment is stamped in Hydrangea Hue and comes from the same stamp set as the snail – Wild Bunch – a SU! June POTM (Product of the month). The checkered portion is also in Crumb Cake ink and from the Wild Bunch stamp set. The front of the envelope is stamped the same way, all across the bottom. This is just so friendly and could be masaculine or feminine – and could be for a child also!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Hot Foils Fun Fold with Valley in Blooms DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome welcome. Oh it is so energizing to try new products and new fun folds, etc. etc. I think we have a treat for you today.

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop group
Stampin' UpHop  Theme Challenge

Let’s look more closely at this card with some other photos.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Flight Hot Foil fun fold, flat
Stampin' Up! Butterfly Hot Foil fun fold, flat, other side

What’s neat about this fun fold is the way it opens and flips or flaps one way or the other while the center remains intact. It’s hard to describe, but it can close either way & it fits in a standard A2 envelope.

How to make this card… and it might help to do a template first! This is called a flip-flap card.

  • Card base is 6 3/4 x 5 1/2. Mark all four sides lightly with a pencil at the 1 1/4″ mark.
  • With the long side at top, score at 2 3/4 & 4″ both above & below the 1 1/4″ mark
  • With the long side at top and the right edge at the 1 1/4 mark on the right side of the paper trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 4 1/4″ (or the pencil mark). Follow this with long side at top for the opposite side.
  • With short side at top & the right edge of paper at the 1 14″ mark on the right side of the trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 2 3/4″. Flip paper over & with short side at top, do same on opposite end.
  • You have now connected the cuts, leaving the center held at top & bottom between the scored areas of 2 3/4″ & 4″ 😀
  • Burnish the scores as mountain & valley.
  • Now you may decorate! Be sure to erase your pencil lines prior to adding your DSP pieces 😁 Long panels on both right & left are 1 1/8 x 5 3/8 (cut 2 for front & 2 for back. Add these with adhesive of choice. Short sections at top & bottom are the same dimensions: 1 3/8 x 1 1/8, 1 1/8 x orate.1 1/8 & 1 3/8 x 1 1/8. Cut 4 of each for both front & back. Adhere appropriately. The center section is 4 1/8 x 2 7/8 (cut 2 – one for front & one for back). Adhere & decorate.
  • You can see I used the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP & the Lily of the Valley stamp set for the one sentiment (to one of the nicest people I know) stamped in Garden Green ink. The colored butterflies were done using the Hot Foil machine on Willow White paper then colored after the foil process with Stamp[in’ Blends: Blackberry Bliss & Pool Party. The small foil dies were die cut from Gold Foil using the Butterfly Flight Dies. The happy birthday sentiment was made with the hot foil system using White Will & of course the gold foil for the system & heated then die cut – Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies. All butterflies were added with dimensionals.

For the envelope…only the flap was decorated – using a pattern from the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Hot Foil Magic!

– Hot Foil results are best with either White Willow or Two-Tone Cardstock. Smoother card stocks like the Two-Tone Cardstock and White Willow will achieve the best results when using the system, but you can use the regular card stocks too.

– The Hot Foil System, foil rolls and new hot foil dies and bundles will be available Friday, 10 July 2026 in the online Stampin’ Up! store.

– A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you

do!). You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.

– The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160.  Dies & foil are sold separately.

– Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock. So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!

– IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling. You cannot die cut using foiling dies. Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

For now – think about it – get excited – and – you can order it from me here

AND… while I had ended the double Daisy Rewards – I’m re-instituting that – so double your fun. DOUBLE REWARDS + for orders $50 & up, the monthly tutorial.

Stampin’ Up! Scenic Coast for a Fun Fold

Good morning… I’ve two cards for you today using the Sunset Coast suite of products – and they are another quick & easy fun fold. Pictures of this suite may be found in the May-August 2026 Catalog on pages 26-27.

Stampin' Up! Scenic Coast Suite fun fold

Since both of therse are made the same way, it’s easy to make a few at the same time.The card base is Night of Navy 8 1/2 x 5 12 scored at 1 1/2 & 4 1/4. Burnish these folds as a mountain, valley. In other words, that first score folds back on itself, making the card look like a backwards Z. The Scenic Coast 6×6 SDSP is cut 2 3/4 x 5 1/4, 1 1/8 x 5 1/4 , &non the lighthouse card an additional 2 7/8 x 5 1/4. The Basic White sentiment panels are 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 or 1 7/8 x 5 1/4.

Stampin' Up! Scenic Coast fun fold, from the top

For the die cuts: a 3 1/4″ square will die cut the lighthouse, or the Sailboat or the sun rays. An additional die was used to die cut the outside circle for the lighthouse – a Stitched Shapes Die, the largest.The birds were die cut from a scrap – it’s just one die for all three birds. The netting was cut from a Basic White about 2 1/2 x 2 3/4 and the seashells were die cut from Lemon Lolly and a Blending Brush with Pecan Pie ink to give them some dimension. The Sailboats were stamped in Melon Mambo and the waters in Balmy Blue. The sequins are the wonderful Sunset Sparkle Sequins that are part of the suite, matching the colors of the Scenic Coast 6×6 SDSP.

Aren’t these fun? Two cards so quickly created & masculine at that!

Stampin’ Up! Quick Fun Fold w/ Bloom Boutique DSP

Oh I love this fun fold – it’s so easy & just pops with elegance or fun, depending on the Designer Series Paper used. As in the heading, I’ve used the soft colors of the Bloom Boutique DSP from the March ONLNE EXCLUSIVES. The paper is all in the new 2026-2028 In Colors and I primarily focused on Hydrangea Hue. I also used one pattern in the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP.

Stampin' Up! Quick Fun Fold w/ Bloom Boutique, card front

I began with Thick Basic White 11 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1 3/4, 5 1/2, and 9 3/4. Burnish these mountain(it folds back), valley, valley(this one folds over). Layer for front: 3 5/8 x 5 3/8; layer for the fold back panel 1 5/8 x 5 3/8 & layer for the fold over panel: 1 1/8 x 5 3/8 (I used Hydrangea Hue in each case). DSP pieces are coordinating but all different: 3 1/2 x 5 14, 1 1/2 x 5 14, & 1 x 5 1/4. Attach to the card base. Now cut for the inside of the card… 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 & 1 x 5 1/4; the sentiment panel has a layer 3 7/8 x 5 1/4 + Basic White 3 3/4 x 5 1/8 or cut with the 2nd largest Perennial Postage Dies. Stamp the Basic White with a sentiment – I used Forever Florals stamp set (also a March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) & Hydrangea Hue ink + WOW! Metallic embossing powder in gold (heat set of course)

Stampin' Up! Quick Fun Fold w/ Bloom Boutique, inside card

Now let’s decorate the front. Sometimes, this quick fun fold card uses a belly band, this one uses a ribbon instead – 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon in Hydrangea Hue, about 21″ worth. It’s attached to the front fold-over panel with Stampin’ Seal and under the sentiment banner. Sentiment banner: using the largest of the banner dies in the Forever Floral Dies, cut from Hydrangea Hue. Using the rectangular banner die from Forever Florals Dies, cut from Basic White & stamp the sentiment from the Forever Florals stamp set in Hydrangea Hue ink. Stamp a couple of small leaves from this same stamp set in Hydrangea Hue, stamp the veins in VersaMark ink and sprinkle with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set. Die cut with the appropriate leaf die in Forever Florals Dies. Add the Basic White sentiment banner to the blue banner with dimensionals. Position the die cut leaves & adhere. Now stamp three flowers in Hydrangea Hue ink on a Basic White scrap & die cut. Add these with dimensionals to the leaves. Add the banner with liquid glue over the ribbon on the fold over panel. Tie the ribbon in a bow & done! Stunningly beautiful, easy on the eyes. With these particular colors and this DSP, this could not only be a thinking of you kind of card, but also a sympathy card.

Stampin' Up! Quick Fun Fold card & envelope, Bloom Boutique DSP

Envelope… more of the Bloom Boutique DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, another leaf stamp in the Forever Florals stamp set stamped in Hydrangea Hue, then the veins stamped in VersaMark ink, sprinkled with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set. YES! This card is ready to send!!!
