Stampin’ Up! Highlighting Country Cottage DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
5

Good morning, good morning & happy Thursday! We have cooler temps these days on the Jersey Shore and the treews are beginning to turn, some a yellow, some a gorgeous tinge of red and some orange. This time of year always fascinates me. Our hummingbirds have left for the season too – just prior to the Nor’easter that blew through. What’s going on in your part of the world?

On with the hop! Thanks for stopping in. The sketch below indicates Oct 1, but it really is for Oct 8!

I began with a Crumb Cake card base and a Country Cottage DSP cut 4 x 4 1/2 layered on Secret Sea 4 x 5. I wrapped around the white Baker’s Twine (from the Essential pack) & tied a bow, securing this in place with a glue dot. I added the Secret Sea & DSP layer with dimensionals and attached it to the card base. I then added three Natural Mat Dots in Secret Sea.

For the inside… I stamped this beautiful wreath from Cottage Kindness stamp set in Crumb Cake ink (and YES _ this has a coordinating die!!!) The sweet bow is also from Cottage Kindness stamp set & is stamped in Secret Sea ink. The Basic White panel is 4 x 4 1/2 and the Secret Sea layer is 4 x 5 1/4. The Cottage Kindness bundle are part of the November ONLINE EXCLUSIVES that will be available Nov 3. Gorgeous set! Gorgeous Suite of products!

For the envelope… more of the Country Cottage 12 x 12 DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit. I needed a masculine kind of card and this works so well! I stamped the sentiment ‘for you’ on the envelope front in Secret Sea ink and it too is from the Cottage Kindness set. Below is an image of the suite.

There’s more info below in how to be able to order early and get discounts & be part of a very fun group of folks – such as JOIN MY TEAM. See below the list of name for all that info.

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

Posted on by
2

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.

Stampin' Up! Springy inside Gatefold card inside

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.

While you wait for the new catalog to go live, today is the last day for Stampin’ Up! Double Rewards with a $25 & up purchase. With the current sale on paper products – 15% off select card stock & DSP + Last Chance Products – it’s easy to find items wanted & needed.

Stampin’ Up! Moonlit Flora for a Book Fold

Posted on by
4

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! Floating Gatefold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

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.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew Floating gatefold open
Card 1 – Cutest Crew/ Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP
Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Floating Gatefold open
Card 2 – Framed Violets/ Violet Dreams DSP
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew gatefold w/ belly band
Card 1 – Cutest Crew w/ belly band
Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Floating Gatefold w/ belly band
Card 2 – closed w/ belly band

Notice how very different the fold lines are and the width of the belly band on each card.

Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Floating Gatefold w/ belly band off to the side

And here’s a photo taken from the top of this gatefold card. Both cards are the same in a top-down look, so only one photo is shown.

Directions for putting this gate fold together…

  • Adhere DSP panels to both the card base & the floating section EXCEPT FOR FRONT PANELS (for card 1, that is the yellow strips/ for card 2 that is the very front panels)
  • 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

We’re making these two cards in card class today ~ both really quite easy & they give a real bang to the receiver. If you make this Floating gatefold – please share a photo with me!

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek of Summer Happiness, July ONLINE Exclusive for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
7

Welcome to Thursday and this fun hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I chose to work a brand new July ONLINE EXCLUSIVE bundle. It’s called Summer Happiness. 😀

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Sketch challenge

Stampin' Up! Summer Happiness card front

I began by stamping these fun summer images and using a different ink for each one: Timid Tiger, Daffodil Delight and Strawberry Slush. They are so absolutely typical summer! Then I took the Perennial Postage Dies to die cut the immediate background for each: under the drink is Summer Slush, under the sun is Daffodil Delight, and under the flip flops is Timid Tiger. Using the next larger die in Perennial Postage, I die cut three rectangles from Basic White. I adhered each of these layers together with dimensionals and set them aside to make the background for these cute images. The card base is Thick Basic White (11 x 4 1/4 scored @ 5 1/2) with a layer of Crisp cantaloupe (4 x 5 1/4). I used the largest die in Perennial Postage Dies to die cut the panel from 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP. Each of these layers were added with liquid glue. Before placing my rectangles, I stamped the sentiment in Strawberry Sluch ink on a Basic White piece & adhered a narrow strip of Strawberry Slush to the back. I put dimensionals on the back and centered it on the bottom of the card. I then added the three rectangles, placing the center item first then the other two. These were attached with liquid adhesive. Final touch – a few embellishment in Strawberry Slush.

Stampin' Up! Summer Happiness card inside

For the inside… Another panel of Crisp Cantaloupe was added (4 x 5 1/4) then the Basic White panel (3 3/4 x 5). I stamped the sunglasses in Strawberry Slush ink and the card itself was complete!

Stampin' Up! Summer Happiness card & envelope

For the envelope… I added the same Crisp Cantaloupe color of Painted Patterns DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. I then stamped the sentiment on the front from Summer Happiness stamp set in Timid Tiger. Such a fun, light-hearted card!

Below is the bundle used for today’s card. Aren’t these fun images & dies coordinate! I could have done this same challenge using the daisy stamp and three images of that – wouldn’t that be cute!

Stampin’ Up! Relaxing Waterside for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
5

Welcome to our HOP! We have a color challenge today… I’m using a NEW product available May 5 called the Relaxing Waterside bundle & it’s coordinating Designer Paper called Waterside Retreat. Let’s take a peek…

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

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card front

I used Cloud Cover for my card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) then layered a panel of a new IN Color called Crisp Cantaloupe (4 1/8 x 5 38) then a layer of the Waterside Retreat DSP. I die cut the chair from Wood Textured Specialty Paper & added it with dimensionals. I also stamped grass images in both Pecan Pie & Old Olive onto Basic White scraps & die cut them. They are part of the Relaxing Waterside bundle & just add wonderful dimension to the card. Last thing was to stamp the seagulls in Cloud Cover ink – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card inside

For the inside – on a Basic White piece (4 x 5 1/4) I stamped these sentiments in Cloud Cover ink and attached the panel to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card & envelope

For the envelope… On the backside of this particular sheet is this wonderful stripe pattern – I used that for the flap then stamped more seagulls on the front with Cloud Cover ink. Here on the East coast, seagulls swarm wherever there are people with food. They get quite aggressive in taking food, sometimes right out of one’s hand!!!

Stampin’ Up! Slider Card Fun Fold with Sneak Peek Products

Posted on by
2

Good morning! I’m so excited to share this card with you – it’s a beauty, I used some new products that will be coming out in the May-August 2026 Catalog that you can order on May 5.

Stampin' Up! Slider Card fun fold, card front

The card base is Crisp Cantaloupe. Don’t you just love that name of a color? The layers are Peaceful Pine and various papers from the Bloom Boutique Specialty Paper Pack. The flowers & leaves come from a new bundle – Boutique Blossoms and the scalloped die cuts use the Scalloped Blooms bundle. Before I share all the details about how to make this card, let’s see the inside where the slider is.

Stampin' Up! Slider card fun fold inside

More gorgeous paper shown here from the same Bloom Boutique SDSP. And the slider? That’s the sentiment panel – and it slips inside the panel on the right.

So, directions… I chose to do the inside first so let’s start there.

  • The card base is the standard 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side @ 2 3/4 & 6 3/4. Burnish the score lines as both will fold to the inside.
  • Cut the left DSP panel 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 and adhere
  • Cut the center DSP panel 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 and adhere
  • Fold the last panel inwards with a narrow line of adhesive at just the top & bottom (see photo)
Stampin' Up! Slider card template

Decorate this folded over section with contrasting card stock (Peaceful Pine 1 1/2 x 5 1/4) then an overlay of DSP (1 1/4 x 5)

Creating the Slider for the card:

  • Cut a piece of card stock same color as card base (Crisp Cantaloupe) 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 & score 1/2″ on short side. Burnish & add adhesive to the scored end
  • Add this to the left inside panel even with the DSP & equidistant top to bottom
  • Fold this to the right, add a stamped Basic White piece 3 x 4 to the ‘slider’ front, then slip it into the opening on the right (I stamped the sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink – new In Color! and the flowers in Crisp cantaloupe – also new In Color! The sentiment is from Scalloped Blooms & the flowers are from Boutique Blossoms)

Now let’s decorate the front, which is really only the left panel 😀 Cut a contrasting card stock (Peaceful Pine) 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 and a DSP panel 2 1/4 x 5. Add to card front.

  • Die cut two panels of Scalloped Blooms Dies (Crisp Cantaloupe & Basic White) Stamp the BW piece in Peace Pine ink using a stamp from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set
  • Stamp small flowers in Peaceful Pine ink & the medium flower outline stamp in Crisp Cantaloupe. Stamp the filler stamp for both flowers in Barely Blush ink (another new IN COLOR!) Use the Light Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blend to add color to the leaves of the small flowers. Die cut & set aside.
  • Die cut the small group of leaves (Peaceful Pine)
  • Add each of these die cuts to the die cut scallops and attach to card front.
  • Final touch… add three (3) 2026-2028 In Color Dots

Envelope… Add another piece of the Bloom Boutique SDSP 2 1/4 x 6 to the flap & trim to fit. Stamp the front with flowers from the Bloom Boutique stamp set with Crisp Cantaloupe ink. YAY – this is ready to send to someone special!

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of the Silly Old Bear Suite & a Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Do you remember the adorable stuffed animals of Winnie the Pooh, Eyeore and Piglet? There are others animals produced as well, but I have to say – I loved these animals and the stories that went with them. So when this suite of products became available to demonstrators, I had this suite at the top of my list.

Welcome to the Happy Inkin ‘ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I chose to play with this Silly Old Bear Suite of products available to customers May 5.

Stampin' Up! Hop Sketch Challenge

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card front

I am really appreciating the new IN COLORS! This card base is Hydrangea Hue 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added this awesome picture panel, cut directly from the 12×12 Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper. On the lower part of the card front is this stunning label, die cut from Very Vanilla card stock using the Sweet Words & Labels bundle. The sentiment? from the same stamp set – Sweet Words & Labels – stamped in Crumb Cake ink. The embellishments are Neutral Matte Dots.

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card inside

For the inside of the card I used another sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp aet, stamped in Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla card stock. It was die cut using the Sweet Words & Labels Dies. I adhered it to a the inside of the card after attaching a piece of the Silly Old Bear 12×12 DSP. I then stamped the image of Silly Old Bear & Piglet walking together – using the Sweet Old Friends stamp set. This set also has coordinating dies – and they die cut images straight from the DSP. You are so going to LOVE THIS suite of products. This suite is a May ONLINE EXCLUSIVE and will be available May 5.

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Silly Old Bear DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and for the front, this sweet Pooh Bear & Piglet walking along. I did use Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends to add some shading – and for Piglet a bit of Old Olive for the top he’s wearing. Below is an image of the suite collection – look at those fun dies! Oh my gosh… so much fun! This takes me back to earlier years for sure.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on by

Our theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that any needed way. I have chosen to use the brand new products in the Lovely & Beautiful suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 23-29. This is an absolutely gorgeous suite & I’m highlighting only a small bit of it.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog hop Group

The background is this fun checkered pattern & I’ve stamped this sentiment from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral. I then die cut from the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper the flower & leaves using the Simply Beautiful Dies. The leaves & tiny pieces are adhered directly to the card front while the flower is on dimensionals as is the stamen (it’s on a mini dimensional cut in half!) I then added these gorgeous Pearlized Faceted Circles that are also a part of the suite. The Specialty DSP was added to a Basic panel slightly larger then attached to the Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals. I made a small Linen Thread bow and tucked it under the flower, adhering with a dab of glue.

Stampin' Up! Lovely &

For the inside of the card, I used yet another of the Simply Beautiful Dies to die cut this flower from the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP. Before attaching it in place I stamped this decorative design using a stamp from Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. I adhered the flower then stamped the sentiment – again in Calypso Coral ink – then adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful Suite card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front is this leaf, stamped in Old Olive ink using the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set. While this is very springy in color, I’m using this as a birthday card for my friends birthday in December – something non traditional ‘Decemberish’ 😀 For information on how to get the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog, see below.
