Stampin’ Up! NEW Amber Autumn Sneak Peek for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Sneaky Peeks are so fun – you get to see new products that will be available in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog and I get to p-l-a-y! Or should I say, experiment?! We hasve a challenge for this blog hop – “fall frenzy” and we can interpret that any way we like. So, here we go…

Stampin' Up!n Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop

This is a BRAND NEW bundle – part of a suite of products in the Sep-De c 2025 Mini Catalog… Love, love, love this suite of products! We have LOTS of oak trees in our back area and because of that, acorns. That inspired this card – of course along with the theme. 😀 I used Gray Granite for my card base, then a layer of the shiny Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper. It has a brownish coppery kind of look and as I said – is shiny. I then die cut the leaves using the Amber Autumn Dies (it’s one die) using the Autumn Toile DSP with Adhesive Sheet attached. Removing the adhesive sheet, I attached it to the Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper. The main image is stasmped in Early Espresso ink and colored with several Stampin’ Blends: Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake & Cajun Craze.I used a Blender Pen to move the Early Espresso ink on the acorn top and on the shading of the acorn, then filled in the rest of the acorns with Crumb Cake. After coloring, I die cut this image with the Amber Autumn Dies. I adhered this to a Stitched Shapes circle (third from largest) in Very Vanilla. This was attached to the card front with dimensionals. As a final touch three of the Streaked Dots, part of this suite of products.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn card inside

For the inside of the card… I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink, then stamped a portion of the acorn stamp (also from Amber Autumn stamp set. stamping in the upper right corner, re-inking and stamping in the lower left corner.. This Very Vanilla stamped panel was adhered to an Autumn Toile DSP, then attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Amber card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the same Autumn Toile DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. Again… I stamped a partial image of the acorn stamp from the Amber Autumn stamp set in the lower left corner.

Stampin’ Up! NEW Bauble Blooms with Regal Distressed Patterns

Wow – last day of June! Summer is moving right along…and fourth of July is fast approaching. Today’s card uses a brand new release (available Jul 1 – tomorrow!) called Bauble Blooms bundle. Here is a photo of the stamp set & dies.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms bundle

And here’s my first card made with this bundle.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms w/ Regal Distressed Patterns DSP 
card front

I began with a piece of the Cherry Cobbler in the Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP and cut it 4 x 5 1/4. I made a diagonal cut approximately 1/2″ in from the top and up the right side, but you can make this smaller or larger – as you desire. I added the larger panel to a Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4. I die cut a border using the Fancy Border Dies and Gold Foil and attached it along the edge. I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark ink then sprinkled Metallic WOW! Embossing Powder over and heat set. Love the mix of fonts on this sentiment! I stamped two images from the stamp set to create the decoration for the ornament: the leaves in Pretty Peacock ink and the flowers in Lost Lagoon ink. I die cut the ornament and the flowers at the same time, then added the flowers with dimensionals to the ornament. I die cut the ornament top from Gold Foil – again using the Bauble Blooms Dies. I put this in place on the card front with dimesnionals then added a double bow using the Gold Twisted Thread and attached it with a glue dot. These were added to the card base of Pretty Peacock.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms card inside

I used the reserved cut of the Regal Distressed Patterns DSP to attach to the upper corner of a Basic White panel (3 3/4 x 5). I added another strip of gold foil die cut from Fancy Borders Dies. I stamped the sentiments from Bauble Blooms stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink. This was added to Basic Beige 4 x 5 14 and added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP in Cherry Cobbler was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! NEW Charming Day

This is a suite of products that will be available Jul 1 to customers – and I am using only a couple of the items to make this card: the Charming Day bundle and Floral Charm 12×12 DSP. Let’s take a look at the bundle and the card.

Stampin' Up! Charming Day bundle
Stampin' Up! Charming Day Sympathy card front

The card base is Blackberry Bliss with a panel of the Floral Charm DSP covering the entire front of the base. Next i took the Textured Notes Dies and die cut another piece of the same pattern of the DSP using the third largest of the dies.. I cut another piece of the Floral Charm DSP 2 3/8 x 3 7/8 and attached it to the die cut piece. Both of these were adhered directly to the card front. I used Basic Beige card stock and a stunning leaf die from the Charming Day Diesnto cut a leaf, then nused Early Espresso ink and anBlending Brush to very gently add some color to the leaf die cut. I then added this to the card front with dabs of liquid adhesive. I stamped the sentiment with Blackberry Bliss ink and Everyday Greetings stamp set, then fussy cut it. I sued mini dimensionals to add to the back & attach to the card front. I tied a double bow with Linen Thread & attached with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Sympathy card inside

For the inside… I added a stgrip of 3/8 x 4 Floral Charm DSP to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image in Blackberry Bliss ink using the Charming Day stamp set, then added the sentiment – again, Blackberry Bliss ink but this time using the Comforting Thoughts stamp set. This is obviously a sympathy card – and mentally a tough one because it’s so personal.

Stampin' Up! Charming Day Sympathy card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the same Floral Charm 12×12 DSP on the flap and trimmed to fit. On the front the same gorgeous floral stamp as used on the inside of the card in Blackberry Bliss ink from the Charming Day stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Color Challenge

Welcome to our blog hop – it’s Thursday! We have a color challenge today that absolutely stumped me at first. But once I pulled out this bundle of Inspiring Imperfections and coordinating products, it all fell in place.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections card front

The card base is Crumb Cake cut to 4 1/4 x 11 & scored at 5 1/2. Lost Lagoon is part of the layer on dimensionals and is cut 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 (please cut 2 & save one for the inside of the card. The Basic Beige piece is 3 3/4 x 5 and run through the Joined Together 3D embossing folder, which is part of the Kintsugi Inspirations suite of products in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog on pages 58-60. I added this panel to the Lost Lagoon and set them aside.

I stamped this gorgeous vase from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White scrap, then used Stampin’ Blends in Peach Pie & Mossy Meadow to add additional color. Next I die cut the ‘break’ in Secret Sea and the flower s from Basic White. The flowers I colored with Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends. Once the Vase was in place on the card front (on dimensionals I might add), I attached the ‘break’ and the flowers with dabs of liquid glue. The final touch was to add Wink of Stella to the small flowers and to the flowers & colored leaves on the vase. The final touch was the Flower Accents in the center of each of the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections card inside

For the inside … remember the saved Lost Lagoon panel? Attach it to the inside of the card to frame the Basic White stamped panel. 😀. This panel is stamped with another of the vases in the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set and has another of the die cut ‘breaks’ form the coordinating dies in the bundle. And yep – die cut from Secret Sea.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections card & envelope

For the envelope, Crumb Cake 2 1/4 x 6 run through the same Joined Together 3D embossing Folder and attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the envelope front, this sweet flower stamped in Peach Pie ink. I love it – & hope you approve.

Stampin’ Up! Coneflower Celebrations in a Sympathy card

I’m sharing a card today made with the amazing Coneflower Celebrations bundle in the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. I’ve made it looking more like a white daisy with bits of color.

Stampin' Up! Coneflower Celebrations card front

The card base is Thick Basic White with an attached Basic White layer run through with one of the Glass Gardens embossing folders (there are two in this package!). I offset the embossing folder for added interest, putting on an angle on the sheet. Then I began creating the flower using the Coneflower Celebration Dies. The top layer is from one die and has light color with the Light Daffoldil Delight Stampin’ Blends; and the other two are from another die. I stamped on one of those bottom layers with stamped off Smoky Slate then added color with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I adhered these together creating layers, so slightly offset. The center of the flower is a gorgeous little die cut from Darling Duckling card stock with added color with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends & Wink of Stella. This too was added to the flower then attached to the card front. The stems and leaves were stamped in Memento ink and colored lightly with Granny Apple Green Stampin blends, then added in place. The sentiment is from the Everyday Greetings stamp set and is stamped in Smoky Slate then fussy cut at the bottom & attached with dimensionals. The final touch is a Linen Thread bow.

Stampin' Up! Conflower Celebrations card inside

For the inside… again the sentiment is from Everyday Greetings stamp set and stamped in Smoky Slate ink. The butterfly is from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp and stamped in Smoky Slate and colored with Light Balmy Blue, Light Pool Party and Light Misty Moonlight – and of course Wink of Stella. The Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Coneflower Celebrations card & envelope

For the envelope… I embossed a piece of Basic White with the same Glass Gardens embossing folder, adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit – done!

Stampin’ Up! Cutest Onsie Baby Boy Card

Hello Sunday! We are slated to have a pretty nice day today – after a drenching rain yesterday that we desperately needed. Those fires in South Jersey did not affect us personally, but they weren’t far. Lots of businesses destroyed & 15,000 acres burned. We needed this rain to put out remaining hot spots on the forests floor. Sigh.

Today’s card is about new life – a baby boy – and I’ve used the carrying over Cutest Onsie Bundle to make it, and Balmy Blue.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Onsie Bundle card front

I began with by stamping a Balmy Blue panel (4 x 5 1/4) with these cute ‘clouds’ (think dreamy 🙂 and Balmy Blue ink. I then stamped the ‘onsie’ with Memento ink and with a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends, colored the neck, sleeves and bottom edges. I also stamped the star in Memento ink. I die cut the onsie and set it aside. Next I stamped the sentiment on two pieces of Lemon Lolly card stock, inking just a portion of the sentiment for each stamping. It was stamped in Azure Afternoon ink I adhered the strips with liquid glue then paced the onsie on dimensionals and overlaid the strips The embellishments are Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Lemon Lolly. This panel was adhered to Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 then attached to a card base of Balmy Blue (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Onsie inside card

For the inside of the card, I stamped the onsie with Memento ink on a piece of Subtles 6×6 DSP (Balmy Blue of course) and while die cutting, I also die cut the pocket for the onsie. I adhered it directly to the Basic White inset (4 x 5 1/4) then stamped the sentiment in Azure Afternoon ink and the hearts too. This was attached to the inside of Balmy Blue card base for the completed card.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Onsie card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Balmy Blue was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. This added touch just unifies every project – love this! And there ya go… a baby boy card for a new little one.

Stampin' UP! Painted Stripes & Gallery Blooms bundle

I used the new IN Color for 2025-2027 called Strawberry Slush both for the card stock base, the Painted Stripes stamp set inked & stamped and the floral design also inked, stamped & die cut. After stamping the flowers, I used Stampin’ Blends to color them: Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, also Color Lifter for highlights and Wink of Stella. The leaves were colored with Granny Apple Green Blends. I then die cut and added dimensionals to the back and set it aside. I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to die cut the circle from Basic White card stock and added it to the card front with dimensionals, off-setting it. I then added the flowers to the circle. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set & Basic Gray ink. I added a very thin strip to the sentiment piece, then attachecd this to the card front… a dimensional on the back right of the sentiment and a dab of glue on the left. The final step was adding embellishments: 2025-2027 In Color Gems in Strawberry Slush.

Stampin' Up! Painted Stripes & Gallery Blooms card inside

For the inside of the card I kept it really simple: this sweet bouquet of roses from the Gallery Blooms stamp set, stamped in Strawberry Slush ink on the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel.

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to our fabulous hop! It’s Thursday – Maundy Thursday as a matter of fact. We have a fun challenge today, and that is to make a fun fold card – right up my alley, in my wheelhouse or however you want to say it. I’m not certain what this fun fold is called: a z-fold, a zig zag fold, an accordion fold, but I did have fun creating it.

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Fun Fold card front

I began with a card base of Fresh Freesia 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and layered a panel of Beautiful Bokeh 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. (You could cover the entire card front.) I next cut a length of Basic White 12×12 to 4 x 12. I put this in my trimmer & with one end at the 2″ mark & the other at the 4″ mark, I from the 2″ end up creating the angled strip. This I scored at 4 & 8, adhering the taller end to the card base. Next was die-cutting the circles: 6th from largest for the Fresh Freesia circle; 8th from largest for the two Beautiful Bokeh circles & the Basic White circle on the Fresh Freesia circle; and 10th from largest for the smallest front Basic White circle. TIP: when die cutting the two Beautiful Bokeh circle, cut one of them from one side of the DSP & the other from the other side of the DSP – otherwise they will not match together :O)

Adhere circles to remaining sections of the card

  • Add the largest Basic White circle first – to the Fresh Freesia circle, centering it.
  • Using that Basic White circle as a guide, add the two Beautiful Bokeh circles to the next section.
    • I adhered the two Bokeh circles together TOP ONLY!
    • Slip these over the section to which they are to be attached with one circle on each side
    • Line them up exactly with the Basic White circle & adhere in place
  • Add smallest white circle to last section, making certain it is on the proper side – refer to z fold photo. If you attach to the wrong side, simply die cut another Basic White circle & attach back to back.

Create all the floral and leaf die cuts using the Impressions Abloom bundle

  • The daisy has 2 layers: the stamped layer (on Beautiful Bokeh stamped in Daffodil Delight) and the card stock layer – Daffodil Delight. These are adhered together , offsetting them & attached with a dimensional
  • The smallest flower has two layers: the stamped layer (on Beautiful Bokeh stamped in Balmy Blue) and the card stock layer in Balmy Blue. These are adhered together , offsetting them & attached with a dimensional

And finally, the envelope, I used another piece of the Beautiful Bokeh to add to the flap & trimmed it to fit. Because the card was so busy, I did not add more to the envelope.
