Stampin’ Up! ‘Windowpane’ Look with Brushed with Beauty DSP

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. 😁

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty 'windowpane' card front

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
Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card inside

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.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Garden DSP Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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.

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Color Challenge
Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden DSP Fun Fold card front

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.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Z fun fold, top view

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’.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Z fold inside

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.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden DSP fun fold card & envelope

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 😀

Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Frames

Good Monday! It’s going to be another gorgeous day here on the East coast – sunny & 71! I have two cards to share with you today, both with the same layout, just different colors. I used the stunning rose image in the Gallery Blooms bundle, the coordinating Damask Designs embossing folder and for sentiments, the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (part of a bundle). Both use Subtles 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink and Gray Granite card stock. Let’s look…

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Petal Pink card front
Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Gray Granite card front

I stamped the roses in Memento black ink and colored each with Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist for the card on left and Gray Granite, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist for the card on right. I’m just curious, do you have a preference? I used the framing dies in the Gallery Blooms dies to die cut from Gray Granite, Subtles 6×6 DSP & Basic White the two portions of the framing: the center portion and the ‘frame’ of that. I pieced these together as you see and attached to a slightly larger panel – Petal Pink and Gray Granite. These were attached to the card base. Oh… and the card with the pink roses – I embossed a separate piece of Basic White and attached it to the card front before adhering the rest. The roses are added with dimensionals. On each is a bow – Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack in gray and Scalloped Ribbon in Petal Pink. I tied each around the stem holding them in polace with either liquid glue or a glue dot. The embellishments are Low Profile Dots in pink and Neutral Matte Dots in black. The sentiments are both from Beautiful Motifs stamp set, stamped on scraps of Basic White with Memento ink. Each was attached with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms inside in pink

I stamped the small rose bouquet from Gallery Blooms in Memento ink on a Basic White panel & colored in Stampin’ Blends as before: Petal Pink or Gray Granite for the roses, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist on the leaves. Each was adhered to the appropriate card.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Petal Pink w/ envelope

This envelope has an added strip of Subtles 6×6 DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. I used a one of the Basic Borders Dies to create to delicate stitching at the edge of the DSP & on the envelope. I stamped the front in Petal Pink using a stamp from Gallery Blooms stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Gray Granite w/ envelope

On this envelope, a strip of the Subtles 6×6 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. A different image from Gallery Blooms stamp set was stamped in Petal Pink on the envelope front.

I am curious if you have a preference in the cards – Petal Pink or Gray Granite. Not certain for me…

Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas stamp set & Winter Meadow DSP

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.

Stampin’ Up! September Fall For Toile Paper Pumpkin Alternates

Good morning happy people. Guess what today is – FRIDAY, for many it is their favorite day… We have a family reunion of sorts planned for Sunday late afternoon & that should be extra fun. I’m very much looking forward to it. 😀

For today, I’m focusing on the Paper Alternates that I made with this month’s kit. I’ll show the ‘planned’ card and then my alternates.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP, card 1
Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP card 2, partially open

The card to the left is as intended by Paper Pumpkin. The card to the right is my first alternate, a total CAS from another demonstrator. It uses Country Woods DSP and when lifting the DSP on the right – there is the place to write.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 2, inside
Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP Alternate card 3, front
Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP Alternate card 3 inside

This is a gatefold card and when open again has the addition of Country Woods DSP adhered to the inside ‘gates’ & a piece of Basic White stamped using the stamps in the Sep. kit.

Above on the left is the card as ‘planned. The card on the right is another z-fold using the PP kit products and only adding a double Linen Thread bow.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP Alternate card 6, front

Above is another alternate done in a gatefold. The only addition was a Basic White panel inside for the stamped sentiment. No other additional products were used.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP card front 7

The original card as planned. The only addition is Wink of Stella on the pumpkins and the fox.

My next to last alternate and the inside – a flip front card. I cut the original Paper Pumpkin card base in half and added a piece of Early Espresso, adhered a Basic White piece to the inside and stamped the sweet acorn from the PP stamp set. With each of these last three cards i used Wink of Stella on the pumpkin and the fox for a bit of sparkle & fun.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 9, inside

My last card is a joy fold card, and I used Early Espresso to mount the showcase field of corn & Gathering Together SDSP for the inside background. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with this kit. Refills are available if you wish to create these cards. The only thing is… in the refill there is no stamp set or ink spot.

Stazmpin’ Up! has a Paper Pumpkin each month and this next months is sure to fascinate. Here are the particulars – just remember, you must order by Oct 10!

Stampin’ Up! Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Fun Fold

Gosh – we are heading into Memorial Day weekend – how did that happen?! We are having unseasonably cool weather here in South Jersey – and hubby has built a fire for us. Who would have thought the end of May and 48 degrees at night…

To my card… this is a fun fold using the brand new suite in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog titled Kintsugi Inspirations. It has stunning Specialty Designer Series Paper, meaning there is gold running through it, Flower Accents a 3D Embossing Folder and of course the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle. The only item I did not use on this card is the embossing folder.

This fun fold is called an Exploding Corner Card. This particular card is made in the portrait style, with the exploding corner in the upper left. Let’s take a look.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections Fun Fold card front

I began with a a piece of the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty 12×12 DSP cut 6 3/4 x 8. With the short side against the trimmer, score at 2 3/4″. Turn paper to the left & along the long side, score at 2 3/4″. Burnish those score lines. With the short side at the top and the score on the left, mark 2 3/4″ to the right of the score line. Turn paper to the right with long side at top and mark 2 3/4″ to the left of the score line. Place this in the paper trimmer & score from mark to mark & burnish. It should look like this. Notice how the diagonal score line goes directly through the intersection of the other two score lines!

Stampin' Up! Exploding Corner card score lines

Add this fun folded DSP to a Misty Moonlight panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Because of the designs I chose in the Kintsugi Inspirations SDSP pack, Misty Moonlight was used as the card base, cut 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. While still having Misty Moonlight in your hands, make these cuts: 2 3/4 x 4 1/2 (this is the card front panel); 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 ( this is for the inside square corner); and 3 3/4 x 5 (this is the inside right panel layer). Now cut Basic White: 1 5/8 x 2 1/2 (for front panel) & 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (for inside panel.)

Additional DSP cuts: 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 (cut 2), cutting one on diagonal; 2 1/4 x 2 1/4.

  • Add the 2 1/4 SDSP square to Misty Moonlight 2 1/2 square then add to inside corner (refer to photo above)
  • Add diagonal cut SDSP pieces as shown in photo above
  • Add the 3 3/4 x 5 Misty Moonlight to the inside right section of the card
  • Stamp the Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 as desired & add over the Misty Moonlight piece. I used the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set & Misty Moonlight ink for this.
  • Die cut the vase using the Inspiring Inspiration Dies directly from the Kintsugi Inspirations SDSP 😀 (love being able to do this!) Add to inside panel as shown
  • Die cut the flower from the same piece of SDSP and add to the Basic White stamped inside panel
Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections Fun Fold inside

Now that the inside is complete – let’s finish the card front.

  • On the remaining piece of Misty Moonlight, add the 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 SDSP to the bottom half.
  • Stamp the 1 5/8 x 2 1/2 Basic White piece using Inspiring Imperfections stamp set and Misty Moonlight ink then add to the top of the Misty Moonlight panel.
  • Add this piece to the card front adhering ONLY to the upper left corner.
  • Add three Flower Accents to the sentiment piece and the card is complete!

Envelope… Add Kintsugi Inspirations SDSP to flap & trim to fit. Stamp image from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set with Misty Moonlight ink.

WooHoo! Fun fold and fun card to make… It’s not super thick either so should be able to send this with regular postage – and that’s big!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY! MAY YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY – MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY BY SENDING THEM A HANDMADE CARD!

Stampin’ Up! 3 Panel Cards with DSP

Good morning & happy hump day :O) Yesterday I shared a four panel card – today is a three panel card. I used Fruit Salad 6×6 DSP but any DSP could be used. Remember that this Fruit Salad DSP is available for two more days only as it’s a freebie with a $60 purchase during Sale-a-bration, which ends at end of day Feb. 28. Here are the two cards I want to share.

Stampin' Up! 3 Panel DSP cards
Stampin' Up! 3 Panel Card front

These cards have the same layout, even the same Mixed Labels Bundle for the sentiment & die cut. The differences are the ribbon and embellishments: Daffodil Delight 1/4″ ribbon on the card at left and Peach Pie Ribbon on the card at right. Embellishments for those cards are Iridescent Foil Gems and Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins.

For the inside, I added a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel on the card at left and fussy cut a pineapple for the card at right & adhered it to the 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel.

Stampin' Up! 3 Panel card inside

For the envelopes… more of the Fruit Salad DSP on the flap adhered & trimmed to fit. Again, I fussy cut an image from the DSP for the card at right

Stampin' Up! 3 Panel card & envelope. 1
Stampin' Up! 3 Panel Card & Envelope, 2

Card cuts:

  • Card base: Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4

Stampin’ Up! Four Panel Card & Mixed Labels Bundle

Hello, hello. My card begins with Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I added a layer directly to this with Daffodil Delight, 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I set this aside to create the four panels using Fruit Salad 6×6 DSP, a free item during Sale-a-bration (only three days left!).

Fruit Salad DSP, Four Panel card

What I particularly like about this is the way it looks as though the sun was shining with rays extending. The panel is first cut 3 1/2 x 4 then trimmed to four panels of 1 x 3 1/2 strips. They were layered on Basic White each cut 1 1/8 x 3 5/8. Dimensionals were added to the backs and attached to the card. I used a scrap of Daffodil Delight to die cut the background for the sentiment using the Mixed Labels Dies. I used the Mixed Labels stamp set for the sentiment , Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White and another of the Mixed Labels Dies to die cut it, then attached with dimensionals. The very fun die cut beneath is also from the Mixed Labels Dies and adhered directly beneath and to the card front. The final touch are three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. This is a perfect use of DSP – and a masculine card too – at least in my opinion. Of course that depends on the DSP used.

For the envelope, I added more DSP to the flap & trimmed it to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Faith Collection card

Our family is gathering for a celebratory weekend in a magical place called Mohonk Mountain House. There is a covering of snow that is just beautiful. And it is c-o-l-d. All kinds of activities are offered: ice skating and archery, hiking (guided or unguided), a pool & sauna. As I said, it’s magical.

My card for today is one I made for a minister friend of ours, age 94. He has made such a positive impact on others, a really good man. The card base is Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I added a layer embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder, 4 x 5 1/4 and set these aside.

On a Basic White panel I stamped the cross image with fronds in Garden Green ink using the Faith Collection stamp set. Then with the Faith Collection Dies and Country Woods 12×12 DSP, die cut the cross and adhered it to a plain cross then attached both with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Faith Collection stamp set in Highland heather ink and added two Tinsel Gems Three Pack in Fresh Freesia.

I adhered this panel to a Garden Green piece, then Highland Heather as well. I wrapped these with Natural Tones Linen Thread & tied a bow, adhering in place with a glue dot. I added dimensionals to the back and attached to the card base. :O)

Stampin' Up! Faith Collection card front

For the inside… I pulled another stamp set called Courage & Faith and stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White panel, then each of the leafy stamps too. I colored the leaves with Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends, adhered the panel to the inside and the card was complete.
