Stampin’ Up! Flap Front Fun Fold Birthday

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.

Flap Front Fun Fold

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.
Stampin' Up! Flip Front Fun Fold.2
  • 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!

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Flowers Slimline Thanks Card

Hello Friends! I have a fun, different card for you today ~ it’s a slimline card using the FREE Sale-a-bration DSP Dainty Flowers. It’s available with a $50 purchase, but only during Sale-a-bration, which ends Feb 28 ~ soon. I saw this card, I think from Mary Fish, and decided to make one myself. You could make this card with any Designer Series Papers.

Stampin' Up! Dainty Flowers Slimline

I used Old Olive card stock as my card base, 7 x 8 1/2 scored at 3 1/2, then cut another panel of Old Olive 3 1/4 x 8 1/4. I cut two pieces of the Dainty Flowers DSP 3 1/4 x 8 1/4, laid them together kind of catty-wampas – you know, crooked, and adhered them together. I placed them on the additional Old Olive panel, marked the left edge & trimmed it. I then placed that trimmed edge on the Paper Trimmer & cut it to 8 1/8 in length so it would have a straight top edge & fit on that Old Olive panel – then adhered it to the Old Olive panel and added it to the card front with dimensionals. I pulled out the Something Fancy Bundle to stamp the sentiment in Starry Sky ink and die cut it with this fun hexagon die from the Something Fancy Dies. Then I die cut another piece as a background from another piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP and using yet another die from Something Fancy Dies, then cut another from Basic White. The Basic White die cut I cut in half lengthwise and adhered behind the DSP die cut to create a bit of frame. This I attached to the card front with dimensionals. I put the hexagon sentiment piece also on dimensionals and added it to the panel. For a bit of bling I added three Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls then a baker’s twine bow from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine package – in Starry Sky. This is a double bow. And the card front was done :O)

Stampin' Up! Dainty Flowers Slimline, inside

Remember those pieces I trimmed from the left edge? Here they are on the inside of the card, adhered to a Basic White 3 1/4 x 8 1/4 panel. And the card is d-o-n-e! Love this… and it would be a great style for a masculine card birthday or whatever. The envelope I us for this is from the Slimline Envelopes from the Annual catalog – just forgot to take photo!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello and WELCOME to this fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. You may have come from the fabulous Tara Carpenter or simply hopped in right here. However you arrived, may you enjoy making the rounds of those participating today.

Stampin' Up!  Happy Inkin' Krew Blog Hop
Stampin' Up!  Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Color Challenge

So, I have to laugh at myself & share it with you… I made a card for this blog hop, but when I went to do all the necessary ‘work’ of plugging in the challenge, I realized I made the card for NEXT WEEKS blog hop 😀 How funny is that! So I pulled out a card I hadn’t posted yet and here we go. It’s one we are working on in card class today.

Stampin' Up! P;laying In The Rain hop 2/9

This card is made with the Playing in the Rain stamp set and the Picture This Dies + Rain or Shine DSP. It was super fun to make as the Playing In The Rain stamp set is full of cuteness.

  • Die cut the Rain or Shine DSP with the Picture This Dies. DSP is 4 x 5 1/4
  • Place this over a Basic White panel 1/8″ smaller & trace lightly the various circles. in pencil
  • Decide where & what images you want to use from the Playing In The Rain stamp set then stamp with Memento ink in the various circles. It’s ok to go outside the circle but use a post it note to cover a circle if you think it would stamp in it. see photo
Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain.help
Stampin' Up! Plsaying In The Rain.help 2
  • Color images as desired. I used Stampin’ Blends Mango Melody, Cajun Craze & Old Olive for the flowers/ leaves; I used Flirty Flamingo for the rabbit and Old Olive, Mango Melody and Cajun Craze on the turtle image. I also die cut a bow tie in Basic Black using one of the balloon bow dies. 👍😀
  • Stamp the sentiment from Playing In The Rain in Smoky Slate ink
  • Erase any remaining pencil marks.
  • Now lay the die cut Rain or Shine DSP over this panel & adhere in place.
  • Put dimensionals on the back and adhere to a Smoky Slate A2 card base.
  • Add the loose Daisy Assortment to the sentiment – and the card front is done!

For the inside…

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain.inside
  • Stamp the fox, puddles and sentiment in Memento ink
  • Stamp the raindrops in Smoky Slate ink
  • Color the fox, umbrella and puddles with Stampin’ Blends: Cajun Craze for the umbrella, Mango Melody for the rain hat & coat, Smoky Slate for the fox and puddles
  • Add to inside of card & voila!

For the envelope… More Rain or Shine DSP on the flap trimmed to fit; and a Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend colored umbrella on the front. The umbrella is stamped in Memento ink & comes from Playing in The Rain Stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain Note Cards.2

Hello weekend! I hope you have something fun planned. Yesterday I shared a note card using the Playing In The Rain Bundle and mentioned that it would be easy to make several to have on hand or give as a gift – I took my own advise and did just that. Tomorrow I’ll share the box I made specifically for these note cards.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.1
Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.2

On this card I used the Brights 6×6 DSP in Flirty Flamingo for the background and Balmy Blue card stock behind the main image. The main image comes from the Rain or Shine DSP & was die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. The Balmy Blue behind it was die cut with the Layering Circles Dies. The sentiment comes from Thanks a Bunch stamp set (FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration!). On the inside, a single strip of the Brights 6×6 DSP in Flirty Flamingo and a fussy cut umbrella from Rain or Shine DSP. The floral stamp on the envelope is from Playing In The Rain stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.3
Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.4

This card uses a panel of the Rain or Shine DSP as the background, another die cut image from the DSP adhered to Mango Melody card stock die cut with the Layering Circles Dies. A single Loose Daisy Embellishment was added to the sentiment. A strip of the Mango Melody helps focus the sentiment from Playing In The Rain stamp set. A single strip of the DSP is added to the inside of the card.

A fussy cut turtle from Rain or Shine DSP was adhered to the envelope front

Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain note cards 2.5
Stampin' Up! Playing In The Rain note cards 2.6

Card #3 uses more of the Rain or Shine DSP for the background and a focus image die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies from the Rain or Shine DSP. For strength I did die cut a Basic White circle and adhered it to the back of the focus image before placing those in dimensionals. The strip for the sentiment is Mango Melody card stock and the sentiment is stamped in Memento ink using the Playing In The Rain stamp set. The sentiment ends were trimmed with the Banners Pick a Punch. A strip of the same DSP was added to the inside of the card and another fussy cut turtle from the Rain or Shine DSP was added to the envelope front.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.7
Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain note cards 2.8

For this last card I used a background of Subtles 6×6 DSP in Mint Macaron with a background on the main sentiment of Balmy Blue card stock. Both the image & the scalloped trim were die cut with the Layering Circles Dies. I simply used the reverse side of the Subtles 6×6 DSP for the cross pieces behind the focus image. The sentiment from Playing In The Rain and stamped in Smoky Slate ink was fussy cut & layered on a strip of the Rain or Shine DSP. The inside of the card and the envelope front got a floral stamp from the Playing In The Rain stamp set in Smoky Slate ink. These four cards along with the card from yesterday, (seen here) make a lovely gift set if you should want to do that.

Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain Note Card

It’s Friday… maybe TGIF? So much going on lately. Are you feeling overwhelmed or need a fun craft break? Note cards are the way to go… and Playing in the Rain stamp bundle is full of fun images ~ and will relax you as you giggle your way into the making of cards. I held a class yesterday (Thursday) and we made a box that holds note cards & envelopes. They are a perfect size for many uses, hello friend, birthday, really, you name it. The finished size is 3 1/2 x 5 – and here’s the first card we made.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain Note Card

We first took a piece of the Rain or Shine DSP and adhered it to the card front. We then took the Stylish Shapes Dies and second largest circle to die cut an image from the DSP. This little dancer is just too cute! I put dimensionals on the back and adhered it to the card. I stamped the sentiment on a panel of Basic White and die cut it with an appropriate banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies, added dimensionals and attached it. I added three little Loose Daisy Embellishments to the banner – and bingo, card front done!

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain Note Card inside

For the inside, I took a very thin strip of the Rain or Shine DSP used on the front and adhered it along the side, then stamped the floral image from Playing in the Rain stamp set in Smoky Slate ink-and done.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain Note Card & Envelope

For the envelope… I stamped the same image as inside the card with Smoky Slate ink and Playing in the Rain stamp set, then colored it with Stampin’ Blends Mango Melody and Old Olive. Remember to slip a scrap of paper in the envelope before coloring as alcohol inks bleed through… hint, hint! I added a piece of the same Rain or Shine DSP to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. This would be an easy card to duplicate in a batch: cut all the card fronts; die cut the images; stamp several sentiments and die cut ~ bing bang boom ~ a box full of cards ready to give as a gift or to send.

These new products are wonderful to create & play. Want to be able to create this… order from my online store (Click here to go my store) or JOIN MY TEAM with the awesome promotion by Stampin’ Up! you may do that here. Keep reading for more info.

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

We have a theme challenge for today’s hop – love. I don’t tend to be a big Valentine sender/ giver, but I really like this Country Bouquet Bundle. I’ve taken a bit of a modern approach without DSP.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Theme Challenge

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle. Th.hoop 1/26

Silver heat embossing, a bit of scoring and some gorgeous Simply Elegant Trim in silver highlight this card. And of course, the heart uses the Country Bouquet Punch from the Country Bouquet Bundle. The words and hearts are from the Country Bouquet stamp set.

The ‘how to’:

  • Begin with a card base of Thick Basic White scored in half. This can work as 8 1/2 x 5 1/2scored at 4 1/4 or 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Using the Scoring Tool and the back side of a Basic White panel, create five score lines. Why the back side? Scoring creates an indentation and I wanted the scoring to be raised. After scoring, turn card stock over & bingo!
  • On a piece of Basic White, rub the piece with the embossing buddy to remove finger prints or anything that would cause the embossing powder to attach itself; stamp the hearts from Country Bouquet stamp set with VersaMark ink; sprinkle with silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Once cool, punch with the Country Bouquet Punch and set both hearts aside.
  • Determine where on the card front panel the large heart will be placed, rub entire right side of card with the embossing buddy. Stamp the two open hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set with VersaMark ink, then the words ‘for you’. Sprinkle both with silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
  • Add large heart with dimensionals.
  • Add silver bow using the Simply Elegant Trim and adhering with a scrunched glue dot.
  • Add three Pearl Basic Jewels for additional elegance.
  • Add this panel to a Silver Foil Specialty Paper panel slightly larger, then add to card front. Done!
Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle Th. hop 1/26.inside

For the inside, I added a length of Silver Foil Specialty paper to the left side with liquid glue, cleaned the area to be stamped with the embossing buddy, inked the sentiment with VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and heat set. The smaller heart that was stamped & punched at the same time as the larger heart was added with liquid glue. This panel was added to the inside of the card and all done.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle Th. hop 1/26.3

For the envelope, I again used the embossing buddy to clean an area for the enclosed hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set; stamped them with VersaMark ink and sprinkled with the silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. For the envelope flap, I wanted a soft pink so added a piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP (FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration!)

I hope you liked my card. Now you have seen my gem, I hope you will travel along the hop to visit everyone else participating today. Click the ‘next’ button or a name to visit. ENJOY!

Stampin’ Up! Favored Flowers Thanks

Hello Tuesday! It rained here all day yesterday… and about 36 degrees. Luckily it wasn’t colder, right?! I lead a program at our church called Stephen Ministry and we are currently running a training program for new Stephen Ministers. One of the things I like to do is try to include already trained Stephen Ministers to help train the new students. And this is a thank you card for the teacher that led a recent class.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers w/ Favored Flowers DSP

I used the FREE Favored Flowers 12×12 DSP that is available with an order of $50 during this time of Sale-a-bration. Love it! I also used the second largest Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut the DSP and another to die cut the sentiment. You can see another strip of it behind the sentiment (1/2 x about 3 3/4). Getting ahead of myself…

  • Die cut the Favored Flowers 12×12 DSP with the second largest Stitched Rectangles Dies
  • Add this to a panel of Evening Evergreen card stock slightly larger.
  • Add both of these to a Petal Pink card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 with dimensionals
  • Stamp the sentiment from Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Calypso Coral ink – on a Basic White scrap. Die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies
  • Cut a strip of the Favored Flowers DSP 1/2 x 3 3/4 and add to the card front with Stampin’ Seal
  • Add the stamped sentiment with dimensionals
  • Add three Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Petal Pink
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers w/ Favored Flowers DSP.inside

For the inside… I stamped the flower from Fragrant Flowers stamp set with Memento ink on the Basic White panel, then colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Light & Dark Petal Pink for the flower and Light Soft Succulent and Dark Evening Evergreen on the leaves. This reflects the DSP. This Basic White panel was layered on Evening Evergreen then adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers and Favored Flowers DSP, Card & envelope

I cut a panel of the Favored Flowers 12×12 DSP (did I mention it is FREE during Sale-a-bration with a qualified order!), adhered it to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. On the envelope front I stamped the small flower from Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Memento ink, slipped a piece of paper inside the envelope so the Stampin’ Blends don’t bleed through, then colored the image as before: Stampin’ Blends Light & Dark Petal Pink for the flower and Light Soft Succulent and Dark Evening Evergreen on the leaves. This Basic White panel was adhered to an Evening Evergreen piece and adhered to the inside of the card. Done!

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Desert DSP Pairs with Ginkgo Branch

Good Monday morning! I hop you had a good weekend and your week is getting off to a good start. I’ve been wanting to play with the Ginkgo Branch Bundle and finally ‘took the plunge’ so to speak, and paired it with the Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP. So what happens is some interesting color combinations I would not normally put together – and I like it! The dies in this bundle are delicate and wonderful. I have used the banner die a few times and it’s a favorite.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Desert DSP w/ Ginkgo Branch Bundle

The card base is Thick Basic White and I added a 2″ strip of Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP along the side. Next I determined the next color layer and how to contrast the pretty leaf dies of Ginkgo Branch: Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya & Petal Pink – all colors that coordinate with this stunning DSP. I stamped the background stamp for these leaves in the same colors using the Ginkgo Branch stamp set and die cut them as well, then added them to the delicate leaf die cuts with dabs of liquid glue. The 3 x 4 panel of Delicate Desert DSP was run through the Painted Texture embossing folder then layered onto a piece of Soft Succulent card stock, then the die cut pieces were attached, some with liquid glue, some with dimensionals. I added a length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon and tied it off with Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in White. I did unravel this twine to just two threads for a more delicate look. This panel was added to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Gingko Branch stamp set in VersaMark ink and embossed it with White Embossing Powder – on a Calypso Coral strip, then die cut it with a banner die from the Ginkgo Branch Dies. I trimmed one end to match the length of the front panel. and adhered it with dimensionals over the ribbon. As a final touch… I added the super sweet Brushed Brass Butterflies in two sizes.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Desert DSP w/ Ginkgo Branch Bundle.inside

For the inside… I stamped the single Ginkgo leaf from Ginkgo Branch stamp set in Pale Papaya ink, three times on a Basic White panel, then adhered this to a Calypso Coral piece and into the card. I also added an additional small Brushed Brass Butterfly.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Desert DSP w/ Ginkgo Branch Bundle.3

For the envelope… three more Ginkgo leaves stamped on the front in Pale Papaya ink and a panel of the Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Flowers Cards

Good Friday morning! Are you the type that plans all kinds of activities for your weekend? I know several folks who do, but mostly we do not. About planning things though – now would be a perfect time to HOST a Stampin’ Up! event. Todays cards are a perfect example of fairly easy, beautiful cards to make for an event. Let me know how I can help you be a HOST.

Stampin' Up! Dainty Flowers cards

These cards were made from one of the sheets of the FREE Dainty Flowers DSP . You get it with a qualified order during this time of Sale-a-bration (Jan- end of Feb). From this one sheet I made 6 cards, each with a different sentiment, background color, ribbon and embellishments. I began with a Tick Basic White card base and embossed the front with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder. After cutting the sheet down to the size I wanted (each is 3 3/4 x 4 3/4) they were adhered to various colors of card stock (Starry Sky, Mossy Meadow, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia and Blushing Bride). Each was stamped with the ink that coordinated with the background card stock using either Sentimental Park stamp set or Beautifully Happy stamp set. These two layers were put on dimensionals and added to the card front. Bows were next: Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon, Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon, Crinkled Seam Binding and Baker’s Twine Essential pack in white colored with Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends, Shimmer Ribbon in Gold, Fresh Freesia Open-Weave Ribbon, and Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon) ~ all added with glue dots.The last step was the various embellishments: 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in Starry Sky and Parakeet Party, Glossy Dots Assortment in Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight and finally Pastel Pearls in Fresh Freesia and Pink.

The inside of the cards were stamped on a Basic White panel in the coordinating ink colors to the card stock, using a simple flower from either Sentimental Park stamp set or the Beautifully Happy stamp set – and the same stamp was used to stamp the envelope front. You can see in this photo, these cards are all ready for mailing… quick turn around, wasn’t it? And the missing card is gone before taking a photo! Great quick project that will have those making these want to do more! 😀

Stampin’ Up! NEW Petal Park

Good morning friends – ’tis Tuesday and the week is moving along. I have a very layered card for you today, easy but layered. It uses the fun Regency Park 6×6 DSP, Kraft 6×6 DSP (which I don’t use much), and the Petal Park stamp set, which is new in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park layers

I began by adhering a layer of Kraft 6×6 on the entire front of a Thick Basic White card base, then did lots of cutting with my Paper Trimmer. Balmy Blue & the Regency Park 6×6 DSP is the bottom layer; Balmy Blue, Kraft 6×6 & another Regency Park 6×6 DSP for the next; and finally Balmy Blue, Kraft 6×6 and Basic White stamped with the Petal Park stamp set. I used Balmy Blue ink, Night of Navy ink and Shaded Spruce ink for the leaves. This is a two-step stamp set and lining each up was really easy. With the photopolymer stamps you’re able to see the perfect place to stamp. I added a double Linen Thread bow then three Enamel Dot Essentials in Night of Navy – also a new product in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. Card cuts will be listed at the bottom of this post.

For the inside… a layer of Kraft 6×6 DSP with Basic White over top and a thin strip of the Regency Park 6×6 DSP. For the envelope, more of the Regency Park on the flap trimmed to fit.
