Good morning and happy Wednesday! We have bright sunshine today – wheee! I wanted to make this split front card for a while and decided to use this gorgeous paper in the 2005-2006 Annual Catalog that goes live May 6.
This fun fold is so super easy! Cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4 x 11 (here I used Mossy Meadow), trim away 1 1/2″ then another 2 1/2″ then score the remaining piece at 1 1/2. Save those cut off pieces for the card front! Cut 2 pieces of DSP 4 x 1 1/4 & adhere to the short scored card front and the 1 1/2 x 4 card stock. Again, I used the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP for those two cut pieces. Cut another piece of the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP for the front panel – this time 2 1/4 x 4 and adhere to the 2 1/2 x 4 panel removed in the beginning – so Mossy Meadow. What I did… I trimmed away a portion of the edging on this DSP leaving the flower bud – top- and the leaf- lower left – loose. I adhered this to Gray Granite 2 1/8 x 41/8 then to the Mossy Meadow piece. Here’s the tricky part but not difficult … adding the front panel to the card front….With the card base closed, lay the loose bottom piece even with the bottom of the card base; using the grid paper, add the decorated front panel so it is equidistant top to bottom & right, adhering to top & bottom. Decorate front panel with Pressed Flower Motifs – and the card front is complete!
For the inside of the card, I stamped the Thinking of You in Mossy Meadow ink using the Beautiful Motifs stamp set from the Beautiful Gallery Suite in the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. I also stamped the fun image underneath in stamped off once Mossy Meadow ink. This was adhered to the inside of the card and the card was complete. Here’s what the card looks like standing.
For the envelope… more of the same Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP adhered to the flap, trimmed to fit then randomly stamped with the same image as the inside of the card, then stamped again on the envelope front.
With the ‘open ended’ sentiment, this could be used as a get well, happy birthday, simply thinking of you, happy anniversary or even a wedding card! Love the flexibility!
These items will all be available May 6 when the new catalog goes live to the customers. I hope you, my customers, have received the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. If you have not, reach out to me so that can be remedied. :O)
Remember too, that April 15 was the day the new Stampin’ Rewards program went into effect. You’ll be earning 10% rewards with all orders of $20+, a 10% reward that can be used on your next order! YAY! And what’s also really neat – you can save those rewards & use them all at once – or a bit at a time – they are GOOD FOR A WHOLE YEAR! Make sure you have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn & redeem those rewards – AND make certain my name is listed as your demonstrator.
Today’s card has a bit of modern look to it and uses most of the new In Colors for 2025-2027: Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and for the sentiments… Secret Sea. The flowers are a two-step stamp, meaning they have an outline stamp & a filler stamp. For the flowers on this card, I only used the outline stamp. An additional color was used for the stems/ leaves and that is Granny Apple Green. And of course, Wink of Stella in all the flower centers :O) This layout was given to us at the convention a few weeks back.
The card base is Timid Tiger in an A2 size, folded in half. The layer (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) is stamped then cut in two directions on diagonals, then attached to the card front leaving the card base to show through and the excess of the layer removed. It sounds a little funky doesn’t it, but it works! A little explanation maybe… it’s necessary to begin with a layer that is the full size so the layers fit nicely into the corners. When adhering the layer, I kept the separation as even as possible, using my grid paper to help. I began attaching with the left top piece, which needed no trimming. Then I adhered the bottom left panel, keeping the left edge even with the card fold. This meant there was excess at the bottom to be removed when all panels are on. I added the top right layer even at the top but left that gap between & used my grid paper for straightness. Last panel to attach, bottom right. Where is the excess to remove: right side and bottom & you can use your paper trimmer for that by turning the card over and lining up the card base edge. Perfect! Sentiment- stamp in Secret Sea ink on Darling Duckling card stock, trim and add to card front with dimensionals. This particular sentiment is all one, so I taped off the various words to ink up each word separately and I wanted to angle the cut as well. The embellishments are the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Timid Tiger.
The inside… a panel cut 4 x 5 1/4 then stamped: Timid Tiger for the flower, Darling Duckling for the center and Granny Apple Green for the stem/ leaves. And yes, Wink of Stella added to the flower center.
For the envelope, I stamped the flower both on the card front & on the flap in Timid Tiger with the center in Darling Duckling and Wink of Stella also in the centers. I am loving the new In Colors and hope you are as well.
These items will all be available May 6 when the new catalog goes live to the customers. I hope you, my customers, have received the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. If you have not, reach out to me so that can be remedied. :O)
Remember too, that today, April 15, is the day the new Stampin’ Rewards program goes into effect. That means things will be shut down for a bit so the computers can do their task… and when everything goes back on again, you, the customer will have a fresh start. You’ll be earning 10% rewards with all orders of $20+, a 10% reward that can be used on your next order! YAY! And what’s also really neat – you can save those rewards & use them all at once – or a bit at a time – they are GOOD FOR A WHOLE YEAR! Make sure you have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn & redeem those rewards.
Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!
Hello Monday! It’s a new week, actually a new day – – and it is NOT raining here. Whew! We need the rain to fill our reservoirs; I like rain; but the days are a bit gloomy. We had sunshine for a bit of the day & it felt good. Thank you for the rain; and thank you for the sunshine!
My card today uses the ever-popular Arches Dies found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. I’ve paired it with one of the new In Colors for 2025-2026 called Cloud Cover plus a beautiful Florals In Bloom DSP. I either fussy cut the flowers with my paper snips, or die cut them with a die from Pretty Florals Dies or Sweet Blooms Dies. Both of these dies and the DSP are part of a new suite of products in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog – the Florals In Bloom Suite.
This card begins with a standard A2 card base in Cloud Cover. The DSP layer is just 1/8″ smaller all around and is from the Florals In Bloom pack. It is from the other side of this sheet that I either fussy cut or die cut the flowers for the front of this card. :O) Ah, but I jump ahead… after adhering the DSP to the card front, open card & use the 4th largest die in the Arches Dies to center it on the front & die cut the arch. This may take running it back & forth a couple of times.
Now prepare the inside panel… 6 1/2 x 5 3/8 scored at 2 & 4 on the long side. Prepare two ‘hinges’ cutting 3″ x 1 1/4″, scored @ 1 1/2. Add Tear n’ Tape in several places then cut in half lengthwise, thereby creating 2 hinges. Add Tear n’ Tape to the BACK SIDE of the 2 1/2″ panel. On that same back side, add the hinges with the fold at the outside edge, one at top & one at bottom. Refer to photos below.
back side of card insert front side of card insert
Remove tape cover & add insert to to inside of card with 1/8″ edge top, right & bottom. Fold insert along score lines, remove tape cover on hinges and with them flat & sticky side up, close card front. Boom! Now, with card closed & ‘window’ uncovered, add adhesive or Tear n’ Tape to open area – see photo… & attach die cut arch & decorate! ….
As mentioned earlier, I either fussy cut with my paper snips or die cut with appropriate dies all the flowers. On the bottom right, this flower was Cloud Cover so that when the card is opened, there is a ‘like’ image inside – cut 2. After adhering, circle & flower were trimmed to card front edges.
Additional info:
DSP added to inside of card is 1 7/8 x 5 1/4, decorated with a die cut from the DSP (Sweet Blooms Dies)
Basic White panel on far right is 2 3/8 x 5 1/4
Embellishments on fron are 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems
Wink of Stella was added to shaded areas of all flowers
This is what the card looks like from the top
For the envelope…
More of the same DSP from Florals In Bloom DSP pack (just the other side) adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, another fussy cut flower added to the edge of the envelope front.
I had so much fun creating this card. It was pretty easy really and the fun came in the decorating. I would love to see what you do with this Window Pop-Out card design.

Welcome to ‘the hop’! We have a great lineup of folks participating so be sure you visit each post. The theme for this month’s hop is “for the ladies/ girls” and we can interpret that any way that suits. Mother’s Day cards are difficult for me as my mother is gone and well, it just feels weird. April 8 is actually her birthday, so this works for me. Having said that, my card IS a Mother’s Day card and I will send it to our daughter who has three not so little ones (the oldest is 6’5″, the next is maybe 5’11” and the third is about 5’3″).
My card features products from the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. If you haven’t received yours from me yet, be patient… sometimes the mail takes a bit :O( Look for the Beautiful Gallery Suite of products that are showcased on pages 52-57. They are a really fun suite of products: frame dies, floral & leaf dies, stamps & more stamps, an embossing folder, a wonderful set of embellishments, ribbon, DSP – it’s quite grand! I’m also showcasing some of the new 2025-2027 In Colors: Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.
I’m loving this rose stamp & die from the Gallery Blooms bundle in this suite! And the Damask Designs embossing folder is evident on the ‘frame’ of this image. The ‘frame is also from the Gallery Blooms bundle. And the sweet background floral die cut is from the Beautiful Motifs Dies in the suite. The ribbon on this card is NOT part of this suite – it IS part of the Botanical Textured Suite of products that are ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. Lastly – the embellishments – gorgeous – are part of the Beautiful Gallery Suite and are called Pressed Flower Motifs. Let’s see, what did I leave out – oh, the DSP… is Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP and from the Beautiful Gallery Suite.
So, how to make this card… The card base is Secret Sea cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & scored at 4 1/4. I embossed a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel with the Damask Designs embossing folder; then die cut with the Gallery Blooms Dies that are the frames. This die is so cool – it die cuts two frames at the same time and creates a center panel as well. I used the larger of the frames for this card. I adhered the frame to the desired Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP, then trimmed the DSP even with the frame. I stamped the rose image in the new Secret Sea ink – it’s a deep blue black – on a piece of Basic White. I used Stampin’ Blends in Gray Granit &, Smoky Slate to color the roses and Dark Sea Foam to color the leaves. I die cut with the coordinating die in Gallery Blooms Dies. I then die cut from Basic White, the flower used in the background – which came from the Beautiful Motifs Dies. I placed both floral dies without adhering them so I would know where to stamp my sentiment. The sentiment is from Stippled Roses stamp set and is stamped in Secret Sea ink. I then added the two dies to the card, adhering the white die cut with dabs of liquid glue and the roses with dimensionals. I wanted a ribbon, so pulled out the 1/4″ Basic White Ribbon from the Botanical Textured Suite (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) and adhered that with a glue dot. I added three of these gorgeous Pressed Flower Motifs around the sentiment. The card needed some sparkle – Wink Of Stella to the rescue on all the roses! I didn’t cover them completely but that Wink of Stella did the trick I was looking for.
For the inside – I stamped another sweet rose stamp from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea ink in each corner. I decided not to color the roses – let the card front be all the glory.
For the envelope, I covered the flap in the remaining piece of the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP & trimmed to fit. I used the same image as the inside of the card & Secret Sea ink to stamp on the flap & on the envelope front. Love, love. This suite of products will be available to you, the customer, on May 6, 2025, less than a month away!

Good Thursday – & welcome to another fabulous hop with the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop group. We have a fun color challenge this week & I’m working with products from the Wildflower Birthday Suite that has all the required colors. Let’s take peek…
This is a Double Flap Fun Fold and it incorporates many of the colors for this color challenge – and it comes from using many of the products in the Wildflower Birthday Suite. I love all the soft colors in this card front: Soft Sea Foam, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Gold. The ribbon is part of the wuite as well… 1 1/2″ Open Weave Trim in Gold. I simply took a length, tied a knot, trimmed the ends to an angle and attached it with a glue dot. And that beautiful bouquet is a punch out from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP. I added it to the card front with dimensionals.
This is the flap layer – like another card! AND… it uses another of the punch outs from the Wildflower Birthday SDSP. I adhered it to this layer then added the sentiment using the Wanted To Say Dies, Pretty In Pink card stock, Gold Foil Sheets with Adhesive Sheets and dimensionals.
This is the inside of the card… the balloon is another of the punch outs from the Wildflower Birthday SDSP and the sentiment is from the Birthday Celebration stamp set stamped with Pretty in Pink ink. This is a very feminine card! I love the soft colors and all the added punch-outs & ribbon. This is a card that will need extra postage – or hand delivered.
For the envelope… I added more of the Wildflower Birthday DSP to the flap and another of the punch-outs to the front of the envelope, bringing everything together.
Below the list of names & connections for this blog hop, are instructions, card cuts for putting this card together. Also, there are changes coming to Stampin’ Up! that I want to share – so see below for purchasing products to make this card & new Stampin’ Up! info!
Enjoy the hop!!! Click the ‘next’ button or click on a name to see what others have created.

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.
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.
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
Card cuts:
Card base: Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4
DSP: 4 x 5 1/4 (adhered to card front); 3 x 4 1/4, then cut into 1 x 4 1/2 strips (adhere to layering panel); 2 1/4 x 6 (envelope flap)
Layering panel: 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (Basic White for these 2 cards)
Sentiment: Stamp in Early Espresso ink and die cut with Mixed Labels Dies
Directions:
Attach the 3 DSP panels to the layering panel
Wrap w/ ribbon
Attach sentiment with dimensionals
Add embellishments
Products used:
Fruit Salad 6×6 DSP
Thick Basic White
Basic White
Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Ribbon
Peach Pie Ribbon
Early Espresso ink
Mixed Labels Dies
Paper Trimmer
Dimensionals
Glue dots
What’s so great about panel cards is that depending on masculine or feminine DSP and sentiment chosen, these are a wonderful ‘go to’ layout for any occasion: birthday, sympathy, get well, thank you, thinking of you.

Hi folks! Today is – GAME DAY… are you for the red (Kansas City Chiefs) or green for the Eagles? Because of where I live, the Eagles are the players of choice. :O)
On Thursday evening I learned a friend of mine is on hospice care and it really threw me for a loop. I was shocked and dismayed – and heartbroken. This card is for her…
I combined a couple of Stampin’ Up! items… Winter Meadow DSP and the free during Sale-a-Bration bundle called Heart Shaped. It’s delicate, it’s beautiful and perfect for so many occasions.. Here I used I a heart stamped from paper I created with Blending brushes and several colors. I’ll link to the post here that will give all the info about how to do that. The two small flowers were die cut from that same paper with dies from Heart Shaped Dies.
I began with a Thick Basic White card stock 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 scored on the long side at 4 1/4. Cut layer pieces (here it was Misty Moonlight cs) 3 1/8 x 5 3/8 for the front and 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 for the inside. DSP panels should be 3 x 5 1/4 and 1 x 5 1/4. Adhere the larger DSP panel to the larger card stock piece then secure to the card front. The 1″ strip should be added to a Basic White piece 4 x 5 1/4 for the inside of the card. Cut another piece of Basic White 1 x 3 and score at 1/2″ on one end. This will become the tab for the front ‘flap’. Add this tab to the back of the card stock layer for the inside of the card, centering it top to bottom. Now add this card stock to the inside of the card. It will look like the photo below.
Add the 1″ DSP strip to the right edge of the Basic White layer, then stamp the sentiment.. Here the sentiment is from Everyday Greetings stamp set and stamped in Misty Moonlight ink I also added the stamped heart, twice – once in Pretty in Pink and the second in Moody Mauve stamped off once. Adhere this to the inside of the card.
Now close the card and center the square that attaches to the flap. The layers are Basic White 2 3/4 x 2 3/4, Winter Meadow DSP cut 2 5/8 x 2 5/8. The die c ut heart is attached with tiny dabs of liquid glue. The flowers are attached with a mini dimensional for one and liquid glue for the other. The sentiment is again from Everyday Greetings and stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. It was die cut with a banner die from the Heart Shaped dies, then one end trimmed. This was attached with mini dimensionals.
Unfortunately I do not have a photo of the envelope – ugh! – but I did attach more of the Winter Meadow DSP to the flap, trimmed to fit, then stamped the grouping of flowers in Pretty In Pink ink on the envelope front.
I made three more cards using this same ‘pattern’ but chose different DSP for those and different card stock bases as well.I’ll share those photos below.
To purchase the supplies to make this card, please use this link to take you to my Stampin’ Up! store – look around a bit: Online Exclusives, Kits Collections, 2024-2025 Annual Catalog – like that. And when you shop with me right now, Stampin’ Up! is in the ending stages of Sale-a-bration (Jan-Feb), but when you order prior to Feb 28, you will receive an opportunity to receive FREE items from Stampin’ Up! – the Heart Shaped bundle is one of those that qualifies with a $120 order.

Make someone happy by sending them a handmade card filled with love.
I’m not certain what this fun fold is called… maybe a double fold? It opens from the left, then again from the right. Yo can see the sentiment here in the middle – and it’s from the Delightful Wishes Dies. There are two layers, the background layer is Daffodil Delight and the top layer is Basic White. It’s attached to the card front with mini dimensionals cut in half. The bow is a double bow made with the Satin Ribbon in Daffodil Delight and tied with White Baker’s Twine and attached with a glue dot. The card base and DSP panels is what makes this card the fun fold it is.
Card Base, Lemon Lolly cs: 6 1/4 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side at 1″ and 5 1/4″. Fold both ends toward the center & burnish
DSP panels: cut 2 at 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 but from two different DSP panels. The front layer you see is Floral Delight 12×12; the other layer is from Floral & Gingham Vellum 12×12. Attach these DSP pieces to the card base at each end.
Cut two side panels of Lemon Lolly card stock 7/8 x 5 1/4 and run through the Zinnia 3D embossing folder and adhere to the card panels at each end, covering the ends of the DSP attached to the card base. See photos below.
You can see in this photo that I added a sentiment piece… stamped in Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White strip 5/8 x 3 1/2 then die cut with Delightful Wishes banner die. This was attached to the vellum panel with glue dots and Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins were added at each end.
The center panel is Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 and run through the largest die in the Stitched with Whimsy Dies. Before attaching to the inside of the card, I stamped the floral image from Delightful Wishes stamp set. Since this is a two-step stamp, the first is Lemon Lolly ink, the second is Daffodil Delight ink to give more detail of the flower. Now adhere to the inside.
For the envelope, I added more of the Floral Delight 12×12 DSp to the flap and used the same two step method to stamp the same flower on the envelope front. This is such a bright, springy card and could be used for several occasions: birthday, encouragement, even a wedding or baby card. Love the versatility.
My main colors were Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. This is a hop, remember, so check out what others on the team have created. Click the next button or a name to take you where you want to go.

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.

It’s 2025 – and quite frankly, I can’t believe it… but here we are. In two day – Jan. 7, 2025 the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog goes LIVE. WooHoo! Today’s card however, is from a fairly new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE called Mixed Florals, which can be a suite of products or individual items. Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes are from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I received the cards & envelopes from my’ upline’ Mary Deatherage – as a thank you gift.
This card base from the Calming Creek cards is Misty Moonlight. In looking at the Color Wheel for ideas of colors for the flowers and leaves of the Mixed Floral stamp set, it suggested Poppy Parade, Lemon Lime Twist. I also added Granny Apple Green & Lemon Lolly – all in Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves & flowers of this gorgeous stamp from Mixed Florals. While it doesn’t really show in the photos… I also used lots of Wink of Stella – on the small flowers and the tulips. I also added three Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies which may be found in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. – and a bit of Linen Thread (one of my favorites!) with a double bow and a glue dot. The background for the flowers is a Basic Beige panel die cut with the Postage Stamp Dies and embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.
For the inside, I used the border of the Postage Stamp Dies die cut from Basic Beige to adhere to a panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4. This is a wonderful card n- could be stamped for a birthday, just a note, hello or leave blank for your own comments. I’m making a set of these to give away – stay tuned!
