Stampin’ Up! Double Flap Fun Fold with Petals of Beauty

Today is card class and we are making a fun & easy double flap card. I’m always watching card videos and this idea came from those many views. I’m using one of my favorite floral bundles to make this card – Petals of Beauty, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE bundle released in November.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card front, fun fold

Are those stamped & die cut florals gorgeous or what! And, stamped in Bubble Bath ink is just so soft and delicate, and that overlay in Basic White just adds to the charm. The card base is Strawberry Slush 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I then trimmed 1″ from each side of the card front, (cutting it to the score line) & removing those pieces. This allows us to see the beauty of the DSP underneath – Mixed Up Patterns, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE item. Before adding DSP panels we need that extra flap that folds over (this holds the flower die cuts & sentiment). This panel can really be any width, but because of the large flowers this panel is 2 1/4 x 6, then scored at one end at 4 1/4. This will be attached to the card base, centering it so the scorer line is at the right edge of the card base.Now add a panel of DSP 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Here I used a Strawberry Slush pattern from this delicious Mixed Up Patterns paper. Now we decorate!

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty fun fold, one flap over

Cut a piece of coordinating DSP (here I chose a Bubble Bath pattern from Mixed Up Patterns 12×12 pack) 2 1/4 x 5 1/2. I embossed this panel prior to adhering it, using the Kintsugi Embossing folder, then attached it to that upper flap. For the side flap I cut a panel of Bubble Bath 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 and stamped it using the Petals of Beauty stamp set and stamped the leaves.. I wrapped this with a 1/2″ Basic White Woven Ribbon from the Everyday Skies suite collection, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I love this ribbon! It ties bows so beautifully. Once that ribbon was in place around the Bubble Bath stamped panel, I adhered it to that other front flap. I stamped the flowers from Petals of Beauty in Bubble Bath ink on Basic White. This is a two-step stamp: the outline stamp and the filler stamp (that’s what I call it anyway). The outline stamp is full strength Bubble Bath; the filler stamp is stamped off once Bubble Bath. I die cut these from the Petal of Beauty Dies, then die cut the ‘overlay’ from Basic White – two large flowers and one smaller one. I stamped my sentiment in Bubble Bath ink and cut it apart, putting both portions on dimensionals and added them to this ribboned panel. Then I placed my flowers, putting dimensionals on those as well. Final touch… Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems, another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty fun fold, inside card

The inside panel is 2 x 5 1/4 stamped in Bubble Bath ink. The sentiment if from Words of Beauty, a coordinating stamp set in the Suite Collection. The leaves at the bottom are the same as on the front flap: stamped in Bubble Bath ink.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers with Nature Walk DSP

Welcome to February – BRRR. Flowers remind me of spring and warmer weather… This little gem of white die cut has been on my desk fo a bit – and I finally pulled it all together. Fragrant Layers is a beautiful bundle and this piece of the die is perfect for layering. I punched out several of the pieces in this die cut, then taped in the others so they wouldn’t fall out of place. I mounted it on a soft green of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP about 2 5/8 x 3 5/8 and set it aside. My card base is a standard A2 (* 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) in Lost Lagoon. The three strips are 1 x 5. I added the front panel to this with dimensionals. I stamped one of the flowers with Secret Sea ink, die cut it, punched out all the pieces and used a mjini dimensional to attach it to one of the flowers. I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea & die cut it with the banner die in the Fragrant Layers Dies. I added it with dimensionals then the Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Secret Sea.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers card front

On the inside, I used the large floral stamp in Fragrant Layers to stamp just a portion of the flower in the two corners – Secret Sea ink of course, and used Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends to color just the leaves. I layered this on another panel of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 1/4) and the inside was complete!

For the envelope… another piece of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. and finis!

Stampin’ Up! Expanding & Angled Fun Fold with Endless Love Bundle

Good morning! The wind chill is minus 8 degrees this morning – definitely not typical NJ weather. I have a super sweet heart card for you today… just you wait. The directions and inspiration came from http://www.lisasstampstudio.com. This was much easier to create than it looks and I love the mix of patterns in the Made with Love 12×12 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Expanding & Angled Fun Fold w/ Endless Love bundle, card front

In the photo above, you can see how it is shaped like a w with the angled cuts. In the photo at right, you can see the various decorated angles – all die cuts are from the Endless Love Dies. You can also see that on the last panel, left an opening for the heart insert.

In the two photos above, you can see the heart insert. These were die cut with the Endless Love Dies and tied together with ribbons ( 1/2″ Iridescent Ribbon that I cut in half lengthwise, the 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon and Linen Thread.

Just to be clear, the hearts are not symmetrical on each side, so the large front heart appears cock-eyed, but it isn’t. I wove the two ribbons through the open holes (1/8′ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon + Linen Thread) & tied a bow. For a bit of extra sweetness, I added hearts to the tails of the Bubble Bath ribbon, die cuts from small heart dies in the bundle. The heart is added to the front angle with dimensionals.

I used Flirty Flamingo for the card base and expanding angles, Real Red for various heart die cuts, and Basic White for additional die cuts. The DSP is Made with Love 12×12 DSP. I adhered in various places the Loose Valentine Assortments. Stamping was done with Real Red ink. Ribbons: Linen Thread, 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Thread and 1/2″ Iridescent Ribbon cut in half lengthwise.

Basic Measurements:

Card base – 5 1/2 x 6 1/4 scored on long side at 1″ & 2″

Angled base – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored in half at 4 1/4; leave folded and cut from the top score line to the bottom right tip. Reserve cut panels

DSP:

  • inside back – 4 1/8 x 5 3/8; strips – 7/8 x 5 3/8
  • expanding angle – cut 3, 4 x 5 1/4, cut diagonally
  • inside triangle – 4 x 5 1/4 cut diagonally

Basic White: 4 x 5 1/4, cut diagonally (for the expanding angle – see photos)

Additional card stock: Real Red, Basic White for die cuts

Below is a list of the products to purchase to make this fun fold card. I encourage you to give it a try. There are two more days – well, maybe 3 to get those BONUS DAYS COUPONS.

Stampin’ Up! Love Notes Card

Good Friday morning stamping friends. The temp today here in my neck of the woods is… ZERO! The 10″ of snow that fell last Sunday is frozen solid and dangerous for walking. The streets are pretty clear; wildlife is suffering… 17 deer passed by our back yard this morning looking for food and water. We cannot get to our heated bird bath or feeders due to the ice. UGH!

Stampin' Up! Love Notes card front

My card today is full of hearts. It uses the Love Notes 6×6 DSP, Loose Valentine Assortment for embellishments and 1/4″ White ribbon from the Starter Ribbon Pack – and the Endless Love bundle. The card base is Flirty Flamingo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Cut this particular panel of Love Notes 6×6 along the pattern separation and adhere the larger piece to the card front 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. To the remaining panel add a Flirty Flamingo strip along the right edge and trim to 5 1/2 length. Wrap this panel with the ribbon, creating a knot on the front. Secure the knot with a glue dot, add dimensionals to the back of this panel and attach to the card along the fold line. Using the Endless Love stamp set, stamp the heart design with Real Red ink on a Basic White piece and die cut with the coordinating Endless Love Dies, attach to the card front with dimensionals. Now add the Loose Valentine Assortments. I added five.

Stampin' Up! Love Notes card inside

For the inside of the card… I added a strip of the Love Notes 6×6 to a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel and attached more of the Loose Valentine Assortments with liquid glue. I love the simplicity of this card – yet it has lots of texture!

Stampin' Up! Love Notes card & envelope

For the envelope… I added a piece of the Made with Love 12×12 DSP and trimmed to fit – and that was it! This card is ready to go! The fun part of this card is, it could be used to send to a friend struggling with health issues or sent as a friendly hello or a birthday card. With no particular sentiment this card fits many purposes.

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek of Delicate Whispers from March Online Exclusives

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & i’ve chosen to wirk with a new soon to be released March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE called Delicate Whispers. I’m using both the stamp set & the dies plus a couple of other fun products. Here’s my card…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes Bundle, card front

Do you notice all those beautiful and delicate die cuts of leaves & fronds? They are from the Delicate Wishes Dies which are part of the Delicate Whispers Suite Collection to be released March 3.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Whispers Bundle, March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE

I began by die cutting all the pieces I wanted to use from the Delicate Whispers Dies using Nature Walk 12 x 12 DSP & the coordinating Natural Hues 12 x 12 from the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog pages 38-41. The Very Vanilla panel is the smallest of the Branching Out Dies, and cut down even more narrow for my purposes. The embossed panel is die cut from Nature Walk DSP using the Fragrant Layers Dies, a January ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I embossed this piece using the Delicate Whispers stamp set, VersaMark ink and WOW! Gold Embossing powder & heat set it.

Layers:

  • Mossy Meadow card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/8 with Nature Walk DSP cut 3 7/8 x 5 and attached to i, then added to card base with dimensionals

I added the die cuts to the card front with liquid adhesive then attached the Very Vanilla die cut with dimensionals. The embossed banner was attached with Stampin’ Seal. Two Natural Matte Dots were added to the banner (part of the Delicate Dreams Suite Collection)

For the inside…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes bundle, inside card

On the 4 x 5 1/4 Very Vanilla panel I added another of the die cuts from the Delicate Whispers Dies cut from Natural Hues 12×12. I stamped the sentiment from Delicate Wishes stamp set in Garden Green ink, added the rest of the Die cut banner from the Fragrant Layers Dies. The final step was stamping the beautiful frond from Delicate Whispers stamp set in Crumb Cake ink.

For the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes card & envelope

I stamped the same delicate frond as on the inside of the card on the envelope front and added more of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP to the flap – & one & done! This card fits so many possibilities: masculine, birthday, just a note, friendly hello – the list goes on. I hope when these items are available you will give them a ‘go’.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello Thursday – and welcome to our fabulous blog hop group! We have a sketch challenge today – flowers – and I’m pleased to share what I created for this hop. It uses the Fragrant Layers bundle that is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE, meaning not pictured in any of the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop challenge

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers card front

This card is just so bright & fresh looking to me. And I love all the texture. So… how to make this

  • The card base is Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & scored at 4 1/4
  • Using the second largest of the Perennial Postage dies, die cut a Basic White piece & stamp it with the large floral in Fragrant Layers stamp set with Memento Black ink.
  • Using the coordinating stamps in the Fragrant Layers stamp set, add color to the leaves: Old Olive, and color to the flowers: Calypso Coral.
  • Die cut more of the tiny flowers from Basic White, color the centers with Darling Duckling and add to the large flowers with liquid glue.
  • Add this panel to Lovely & Beautiful SDSP ( 3 5/8 x 4 7/8) that was attached to a Calypso panel 3 3/4 x 5. Put dimensionals on the back & add to the card front.
  • On a Basic Black strip, run the embossing buddy across the paper to remove any static and stamp the sentiment in VersaMark ink, sprinkle it with WOW! White Embossing powder & heat set.
  • Die cut this piece with the die in the Fragrant Layers dies, put dimensionals on the back and add to the card front.
  • Add embellishments to the flowers & on the card (5 in all) Iridescent Floral Gems
  • Add a bow with the white twine pulled apart and attach with a glue dot.
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers inside card

For the inside…

  • Add a 1/2 x 4″ strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP to the bottom of the card
  • Stamp the flower in Memento ink (from Fragrant Flowers stamp set) & color with Calypso Coral ink
  • Stamp the leaf in Old Olive ink
  • I then put the Basic White panel on my scoring board and scored twice on the left – for more texture.
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers card & envelope

I used the same leaf stamp as on the inside of the card to stamp several leaves across the bottom of the envelope in Old Olive ink. I then added another strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP to the flap & finis! I love the freshness of the completed card.

Stampin’ Up! ‘Pinched Paper’ Fun Fold with Lovely & Beautiful SDSP

Good Friday morning! It’s 18 degrees this morning but nice & brightly sunny 😀 My inspiration came from one of my card class students who passed along info about making this cute fun fold. That led me to watch a video by Rachel Tessman. Let’s look at my creation.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful fun fold card front

This begins with a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 and adhering a strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 to the center of the panel. Now cut two more strips from the same pattern 1 3/4 x 5 1/4. Adhere those strips in this fashion: the left strip – add adhesive only to the left edge & attach; the right strip – add adhesive to the right edge and attach.

Folding: fold back the top right side of the left strip to approximately the center of the card, but the fold should not allow any of the Basic White to show. Turn the card upside down and do the same for that same panel to create the bottom fold. Now, do the same for the right strip; fold back the top left side of the right strip just to the edge of the center strip pattern to a center point. Turn the card upside down again and do the same on the bottom right side. Burnish those folded back sections.

TIP: this folding back does not necessarily have to be to the center; it could be more toward the top or toward the bottom, but both sides do need to be uniform – to the same point.

Create the center pieces to cover where the papers come together. I pulled out my Beautifully Celebrated Dies, Fresh Freesia card stock and Basic White, die cut the two pieces and adhered them together. ( I used the smallest & next size up). I then stamped this sweet leaf image in Old Olive ink from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set and colored it with Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. I die cut it with coordinating dies (Beautifully Celebrated) and set it aside. I used the Simply Beautiful stamp set and Old Olive ink for the sentiment and fussy cut it, adhered the leaf to the back of the sentiment then attached the sentiment with mini dimentionals to the two die cut banners. W
ith the Simply Beautiful stamp set, I stamped the small flower in VersaMark ink (twice) on a Basic White piece, sprinkled those with WOW? Metallic Gold embossing Powder & heat set them. I colored both with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends for the flowers and Daffodil Delight for the center of the flowers. I die cut these with the coordinating die from Simply Beautiful Dies and adhered them to the same banner: one adhered directly to the and one on dimensionals (yes, it slightly covers some of the sentiment) I attached the banners to the front of the card with dimensionals and added three Pearlized Faceted Circles.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the same small flower from Simply Beautiful stamp set in VersaMark ink on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set it. Again I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Fresh Freesia and Daffodil Delight. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink on a nother piece of Basic White and die cut it with Words of Beauty Dies. I adhered this just beneath the flower – and finis! This could easily be a sympathy card or get well card or simply ‘hello friend’ kind of card. But I love the simplicity of the fun fold and the extra charm it creates. Hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! New Covered in Flowers Accents Cards

Good, good morning. It was rainy here Saturday and I was able to play in my craft room. I had such fun playing with a new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product released Jan 6. It’s called Covered in Flowers Accents. They are a laser cut sheet of flowers and leaves, cut from something other than paper, yet very thin and not as fragile as paper. They are stunningly gorgeous. Here are my four cards.

Stampin' Up! Covered in Flowers Accents, card 1
Stampin' Up! Covered in Flowers Accents, card 2

Stampin' Up! Covered in Flowers, card 3
Stampin' Up! Covered in Flowers Accents, card 4

You can see that I stuck with a certain color theme for all four cards, Timid Tiger and Cloud Cover. I used the same embellishments on each card, varying the color per the need: 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls, again in Timid tiger and Cloud Cover. On the first card I used Secret Sea. On the very last card I chose to use a Blending Brush to color the floral accent: Timid Tiger & Pumpkin Pie, the Granny Apple Green & Garden Green.

The sentiments on the card fronts : card 1 is from Fragrant Flowers stamp set, stamped in Secret Sea & punched out with the Three Banner Punch; card 3 sentiment is from Prayers & Promises stamped in Cloud Cover & die cut with Beautifully Celebrated Dies the inked the edges with Cloud Cover; card 4 front sentiment is from Banner Sayings stamp set in Cloud Cover ink and punched with the coordinating Three Banner Punch.

And here are each of the cards on the inside.

Stampin' Up! Prayers and Promises, card 2 inside

Stampin' Up! Prayers & Promises sentiment card 3
Stampin' Up! Prayers & Promises inside card 4

On each of the cards inside, I used a Blending Brush prior to stamping the sentiment. On the first card I used the punched out ‘frame’ as the template from the flower on the front and stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink using the Fragrant Layers stamp set. For the remaining three cards I stamped in Cloud Cover ink using various sentiments from Prayers & Promises stamp set.

Other products used to make these cards: Stripes Embossing Folder on card 1 and the Stone & Vine Embossing Folder on card 2. On card 3 I added Nature Walk 12×12 DSP to the full card front. All the cards use 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP: card 1 – (3) panels cut 1 x 3 & layered to Timid Tiger 3 1/8 x 3 1/4; card 2 – 1 x 3 & 2 x 3 layered on Timid Tiger1 3/8 x 4 32/8 & 2 3/8 x 3 3/8; card 3 – 1 x 4 & 1/2 x 4; card 4 – 1/2 x 4 & 1 1/4 x 4. Each of the Basic White layers are 3 3/4 x 5. On card 4 there is an additional layer 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. Card bases are either 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 or 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, making all card fronts 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. The inside layer is Basic White 4 x 5 1/4.

And here are the coordinating envelopes with the cards.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to the week before Christmas – and this fun blog hop with the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today… I’ve chosen to use the Simply Beautiful bundle & other products in the Lovely & Beautiful Suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful Bundle card front

I began with a Fresh Freesia card base and added two layers of the Lovely & Beautiful Special DSP, off-setting them for the challenge and attached them with dimensionals. I then pulled out Petal Pink to die cut the two flower pieces and Gold Foil for the stems & leaves. I used a sponge dauber & Calypso Coral ink to add dimension to the flower centers. Using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies, I also die cut the sweet label under the flower from Basic White and used the same sponge dauber to sponge the edges. I stamped the sentiment in Petal Pink ink and fussy cut along the bottom. This was attached with dimesnionals. Final touch… the awesome Pearlized Faceted Circles. Let me explain the flower layers a bit more… I added the two petal layers with a single cut in half mini dimensional, but it didn’t quite ‘sit’ the way I wanted, so I rolled a glue dot and attached that to one of the petals and it did the trick. The gold foil stamen is added with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card inside

For the inside… The leaf is stamped with Memento ink – my ink pad is way juicy and the image is quite strong 😦 But I colored the leaf with Stampin’ Blends in Old Olive. I added the Basic White panel to another piece of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP and attached them to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card & envelope

For the envelope… another stamped image in Memento ink Simply Beautiful stamp set & colored with Stampin’ Blends Petal Pink & Old Olive. The flap has the same Fresh Freesia Lovely & Beautiful SDSP trimmed to fit. For information about shopping with me or joining my team, see below.
