Oh my – tomorrow – Jan 7 is the BIG DAY for ordering from the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog AND using benefits from the Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration Catalog. WooHoo! Excitement is building!!! My card today uses the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and the Mixed Florals Bundle from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I love this bundle (and it’s part of a suite of products too). So… here’s the card.
I folded the Calming Creek card on it’s score line then scored again at 3 1/4. Between the 4 1/4 & 3 1/4 scores I added adhesive to secure it in place. I wrapped that section with Bordered Ribbon in Basic Beige and secured it with a glue dot at the knot. I took one of the Elements of Text stamps (also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) and stamped a Basic Beige panel in two places with Memento Ink – see the image. I die cut the panel with second from the largest Perennial Postage Dies then removed just enough from the left edge for it to fit on the book fold front. Save this removed piece!
On a Basic White piece, I stamped the floral image in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Wild Wheat, Daffodil Delight and Summer Splash. Once the coloring was complete, I added Wink of Stella to many of the small flowers, to the large flowers and to some areas of the leaves. I die cut this with the appropriate die from the Mixed Florals Dies, added dimensionals to the back and attached it to the card front. I then stamped the super cute lady bugs from Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento ink and colored with Petunia Pop Blends.
On the inside of the card I added the removed cut strip from the Perennial Postage die cut and that was it.
Here is the card with it’s own envelope. I love how they coordinate. And yes, I could have stamped a portion of the floral stamp, but chose to keep it simple.

Good Thursday – and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a theme challenge today – Christmas. Love it! It could be packaging or a card or decoration. You have jumped here from the fabulous Tara or simply come here first. However you got here – welcome! I chose to use the Festive 12×12 Glimmer Paper to make my card.
This is full of glimmer and the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP, plus Spotlight on Nature Dies (one of my favorite die sets) and the Sentimental Wishes bundle.
Begin with a card base 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Add a panel of Take a Bow DSP on the card front on the bottom 1 1/2 x 3 1/4. Cut strips of Glimmer 12 x 12 Paper 1 x 6, then cutting diagonally to opposite corners. (These are Real Red and Garden Green glimmer papers.) Begin adding strips with the pointy tip at the edge of the card front, attaching just above the bottom panel of DSP. Keep adding until the card front is covered. It will look like the below photo. Notice the extra Glimmer at the top and excess DSP at the bottom?
Now turn over the card front and remove excess DSP so it’s even with the card base. :O) Now create the decorated panel that will cover those pointy tips: Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, die cut circle using Spotlight on Nature Dies; die cut another circle using same die set and Granny Apple Green card stock & adhere to Basic White circle with dimensionals. Stamp this sweet candle/ greens stamp using Sentimental Wishes stamp set & Memento ink. Color with Stampin Blends – Old Olive, Real Red, Lemon Lolly with Peach Pie at the bottom of the flame. Add Wink of Stella to candle drippings and berries. Die cut with appropriate die from Sentimental Wishes Dies. Add with dimensionals. For embellishment, add Clear Ribbon Adhesive-Backed Dots. Add to card front, making certain it does not extend beyond card when closed.
For the inside… add a 3/4 x 5 1/2 strip of Take a Bow 6×6 DSP to the outside edge of the inside of the card. Add another strip 1/2 x 5 1/2, this time in Granny Apple Green. Stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Garden Green ink – and the card is complete!
For the envelope – more of the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. Add the Sentimental Wishes sentiment in Garden Green ink and the card is complete! Time to count my Christmas cards… I’m pretty certain I do not have enough :O(

Happy Sunday morning – crispy air here today at 48 degrees. I have an easy fun fold today, one I found on Pinterest – hope you like it.
Susan Campfield created this card in a video tutorial and I liked the ease of it, then did my own thing.
Card Cuts:
5 1/2 x 5 1/4, score on short side at 4 1/4 (here I used Real Red)
4 x 4 (again, Real Red)
DSP panels: 3/4 x 4 (cut 2); 3/4 x 5 1/4; contrasting DSP 3 x 3 3/4 (here I used Take A Bow 6×6)
Basic White: 3 x 3 (circle on front) 2 x 3 (stamped holly); 4 x 3 3/4 (inside)
The first step is to burnish the score line on the card base, then add the 4 x 4 panel, centering it left & right & even with the bottom of the card base. This means it does not attach all the way to the score line! Now adhere the DSP panels: the 3/4 x 5 1/4 across the top and the two 3/4 x 4 panels on. the inside – keeping an even border on each – and the 3 x 3 3/4 on the front panel. Wrap a ribbon around the top & tie a bow. Here I used a retired Garden Green ribbon and kept it in place with a glue dot. As an option you could use that top area for a sentiment.
For the front… with Decked Circles Dies (6th from center), die cut a circle in Basic White and stamp with Sentimental Wishes stamp set and Real Red ink. Add it to the card front with dimensionals. Stamp the holly image from Sentimental Wishes in Garden Green ink and with a water painter very slightly damp, pull the color on the holly leaves. Don’t over work this step. With a Real Red Marker, color the berries, then die cut the image with the coordinating Sentimental Wishes Dies. Attach with dimensionals to the circle. Add Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Backed Berries – and the card front is complete. :O)
On the inside… with Peaceful Season Dies and Festive 12×12 Glimmer paper in Garden Green, die cut the word Christmas and adhere to the inside of the card. Remember to save the dot on the ‘i’ and attach it as well. Now stamp the word ‘merry’ from Peaceful Season stamp set in Real Red ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to the inside of the card & voila – the card is complete.
For the envelope … more of the Take A Bow DSP is adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. AgainI stamped the holly using the Sentimental Wishes stamps in Garden Green ink, used the water painter barely damp to pull the color into the leaves. I used a Real Red marker to color the berries.
There’s only a few more days to take advantage of our Starter Kit Special! Those who sign up to be Stampin’ Up! demonstrators by October 31 will get $125 USD | $165 CAD$155 USD | $206 CAD worth of products in their Starter Kit for just $99 USD | $135 CAD!

Welcome, welcome! Welcome to this blog hop group! Our theme this month is ‘Giving Thanks’ in whatever way that means for us… and I have lots for which to be thankful: people, support, this team and other teams, family, a roof over my head – just LOTS! I chose to use the Autumn Expressions bundle – beautiful script stamps, great dies (I’m a succor for leaf dies) and a host of other beautiful Stampin’ Up! products.
Stunning leaf die cut from Textured Metallic 12×12 Specialty DSP in both gold (2) and copper (1). And the very swirly script and framing – all from the Autumn Expressions bundle. Such a great set! The additional DSP is an online product – Meandering Meadows 6s6 DSP. I cut the front panels to look like sunset, the oranges and pinks streaking across the sky. The ‘frame’ is from another panel of the Meandering Meadows DSP.
For the inside, I used this wonderful ‘grass’ stamp and Pecan Pie ink – first generation and 2nd generation – to stamp across the bottom. How to do that? Ink the stamp, stamp the paper, stamp again without re-inking. This second stamping is called second generation.
Card Cuts/ directions:
Pecan Pie for the card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 on the long side. Burnish and fold other side to meet it, burnishing it as well. Why do I do this in lieu of scoring on each side at 2 1/8? ‘Cuz it doesn’t always come together in the middle – and I want them to. I have found this to be the easiest way to make sure that happens.
Cut Pumpkin Pie 2 x 5 3/8 (2) and adhere to each side front panel
Cut Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (2) and adhere to the Pumpkin Pie
On Basic White 2 3/4 x 3 3/4, stamp the sentiment from Autumn Expressions stamp set in Pecan Pie ink. Die cut with the smaller ‘frame’ from Autumn Expressions Dies. Die cut the outside ‘frame’ for this using the larger ‘frame’ die. Attach together with dots of liquid glue.
Die cut the gorgeous leaves from 1 1/4 square Textured Metallic 12×12 SDSP – two in gold and one in copper. Attach one go0ld leaf to the top of the sentiment frame with liquid glue, then the copper leaf on the opposite corner also with liquid glue. Attache the other gold leaf with a dimensional. Add three Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments on the sentiment panel. Add sentiment panel to the left side of the gate fold – and the card front is complete!
For the envelope… I added more of the same Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. Do the same stamping technique as before along the envelope front.
This can so easily be a masculine card if needed. I like that versatility! And many of these products may be found in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog, Card Stocks & inks, acrylic blocks, paper trimmer – these ‘staples’ are in the Annual Catalog.

Welcome to the HOP! Our theme today is fun folds – and there will be some extraordinary ones, I am certain. I have chosen a tried & true front flap fun fold for today, using the WinterlyTree Tops bundle, the Christmas Labels bundle and Nests of Winter 12 x 12 DSP.
I’m going to be honest, I haven’t played with this set and I’ve had it for a bit. I… LOVE… IT… The pine frame is from Basic White card stock (3 5/8 x 5) and die cut with Winterly Tree Tops Dies. The birds are fussy cut (paper snips) from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP and added with dimensionals. The background (stripes) is also from this DSP pack (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) and was layered on Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 3/8), and adhered to the Basic Black card front. I added three Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE). Let’s look at how this card opens… the front flap opens from the top to show the gatefold, below.
The layers are Cherry Cobbler (2 x 5 3/8 – cut 2) and a smaller Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP (1 7/8 x 5 1/4- cut 2) and adhere together and then to the Basic Black card baseThe sentiment panel is stamped on Basic White with Cherry Cobbler ink using the Christmas Labels stamp set then die cut with the coordinating Christmas Lablels Dies. Only the left side of the label was attached to the left ‘gate’.
Here is the inside…
The inside… a panel of Basic White (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) with another fussy cut bird from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP attached with liquid glue. This panel was added to Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 1/4) then to the inside of the Basic Black card base. All opened out the card looks like this…
And the envelope I kept very simple… more of the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit, and a sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Christmas Labels stamp set.
These two bundles and the DSP may be found in the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2024 Catalog. The card stock & adhesive, scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder are in the Stampin’ Up! 2024 Annual Catalog. And the adhesive dots part of the Stampin’ Up! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

HOST CODE … SEP 26- OCT 15 NDADFHMR
Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!
Good Saturday! What is your day like where you live? Here in New Jersey it is rainy and about 71 degrees. A day for staying inside! Wednesday I had a card class using the super fun Sophisticated Sled bundle. I love this card and this bundle…
I used several different products to make this card, but let’s begin with the card base – Shaded Spruce 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, then trim off on the long side 2 3/4. This panel becomes the background for the sled. :O) Next I cut pieces of Sentimental Christmas DSP and adhered them to the card base: 4 x 2 1/2 (cut 2, one for card front top and one for inside); 4 x 2 3/4 (this is my stripe panel). And since there is some overlap here, I added a strip of Shaded Spruce 1/2 x 4.
I stamped the inside top panel in Shaded Spruce ink with a stamp from Sophisticated Sled stamp set. Back to the card front… with the DSP adhered, I added the 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 panel removed from the card base by centering it and added adhesive just to the top portion. Now the super fun part – the sled.
From Silver Foil Sheet (2 x 4) die cut the sled rungs and skate bottoms
From Basic White (2 x 2 3/4) die cut the skate shoes and laces
From Country Woods DSP (2 x 3 & note the direction of the grain) die cut the sled.
From Full of Life DSP die cut the green leaf spray. There are two layered together here, offset, so the variegation of the DSP shows.
Putting it all together…
Adhere the wood-grain Country Woods sled top to the silver sled rungs. NOTE: the sled top has tiny holes on each side – line those up with the silver cross bars. There are two parts to the sled top die cut, the second does not show as it is under the green spray, but that portion used to ‘guide’ the sled if someone was riding it. (Remember those days?) Adhere this piece in place at a silver cross bar.
Glue the two leaf sprays together in the center only, then add to the sled ‘cross bar’ in center only.
Skates shoes … there is a tiny slit to insert the laces, adhere those in place; add silver ‘skate’ to shoe bottom. Add left skate shoe to sled with dimesnionals, then right skate shoe with dimensionals on bottom of skate
Add sled to Shaded Spruce panel with dimensionals
Add Add Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Backed Berries to green spray
Add White Loose Snowflakes as shown with dots of liquid glue. This is a bit fiddly but worth the effect/ look!
Now turn the card over to the back… to a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel, add 3 die cut snowflakes using the Frozen Edges Dies. I die cut these from scraps of the Sentimental Christmas DSP. I added Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes on each of these – in gold, copper and white, adhered the panel in place and the card was complete!
For the envelope… I cut a panel of Sentimental Christmas DSP 2 1/4 x 6 and adhered it to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I stamped the sentiment from Sophisticated Sled in Shaded Spruce ink. I stamped the bottom two times, then the final stamp on the side.
Love, love, love this card! Maybe because it brings back such fond memories of snow & sledding the hills of a golf course back home – really good memories.

It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and I can hardly wait to see what others on the team have created.
Aren’;t these great colors? Bright, cheery, happy colors. I have someone specific in mind for this card. It was really quite quick and simple – and sometimes that’s best.
I began with a 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2, Basic White card base and adhered a piece of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP to the front (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). I die cut the fronds using the Flowers of Beauty Dies and adhered with dabs of glue. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Basic White using Pumpkin Pie ink and the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set. I die cut this with the Stitched Shapes Dies. I folded over a piece of the Bordered Ribbon in Peach Pie and added it with glue dots over the fronds. I put dimensionals on the die cut circle sentiment and placed it over the ribbon. Finally, I added three Opal Rounds Assortment in Night of Navy.
For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie ink using another stamp in the Wonderful thoughts stamp set and another panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4. I added this to the inside of the card, then adhered a strip of the Full of Life DSP at the bottom, full width of 4 1/4.
For the envelope, I took a piece of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP cut 2 1/4 x 6, adhered it to the envelope flap – and that was it. I love the simplicity but also the effectiveness of this card – full of thanks and appreciation.

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day. Make someone happy when sending them a handmade card filled with love.
Good morning – and today is Memorial Day – a time of remembering those who gave their lives for our country, that we might have the freedoms we all share. Whatever you plan for today – honor & remember these individuals.
My card today uses the absolutely gorgeous Magnolia Mood bundle that can be found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.
Basic Beige is the card base, a wonder neutral, and is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added a layer of Early Espresso 4 x 5 1/4, then a layer of Country Woods DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I die cut the very delicate image and additional leaves in Mossy Meadow card stock – from the Magnolia Mood Dies. Unfortunately, on this card, much of that is covered up, but it does show around the fringes of the hand-colored magnolia and seed pod.
Next, stamp the magnolia is Memento ink and color it with Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink for the magnolia and buds; Daffodil Deloight for the flower center; leaves are a mix of Light Mossy Meadow, Light Old Olive and Light Wild Wheat. The seed pod is Daffodil Delight with shading of Light Wild Wheat at it’s base. I put a squeeze of Wink of Stella on an acrylic block and brushed that on the main flower & buds, following the shading lines on the image. In other words, I did not cover the entire flower! I also used Wink of Stella in the same fashion on the seed pod. Once colored, die cut both the seed pod and the flower images.
I tried to photograph the image to show how it glitters. It shows just a bit.
I played with all the parts before settling with the final layout above. The delicate mossy meadow die cut was adhered with liquid glue, the large hand-colored image with dimensionals; the seed pod was tucked under & added with dabs of liquid glue, as were the additional leaves. For the sentiment, I turned over a remaining piece of the Country Woods DSP used on the card front and stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink. The sentiment comes from the Hope You Know stamp set, another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. It is die cut with a die from Wonderful Thoughts Dies. As a final touch, I added three Opal Rounds Assortment in Daffodil Delight.
On the inside of the card… a layer of Early Espresso 4 x 5 1/4 adhered to the card base, inside. The flower bud was stamped in Memento ink (Magnolia Mood stamp s et) on the Basic White panel 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I colored it similarly as the flowers on the card front: Stampin’ Blends – Light Petal Pink on the flower & bud, Light Mossy Meadow, Light Old Olive, Light Wild Wheat on the leaves. I added Wink of Stella to the flower & bud, same as the card front. This panel was adhered to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, another piece of the Country Woods DSP was adhered to the flap and trimmed tom fit. On the envelope front, same small flower from the Magnolia Mood stamp set, stampedn in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends as done on the inside of the card. I also added Wink of Stella to this flower & bud. TIP: remember when using Stampin’ Blends on an envelope, to slip another piece of scrap card stock inside so the blends do not bleed through to the envelope back!
