Good Sunday morning! It’s beautiful this morning, a refreshing 67 at 6 AM. So today is… a Christmas card using the very sweet Woodland Wishes stamp set. And if you enjoy coloring as I do, this is a fun stamp set to have in your Christmas stash.
I used Memento ink to stamp the image on a Basic White panel and colored with several different Stampin’ Blends: Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Pecan Pie, Ivory, Light Pumpkin Pie,Petal Pink, Poppy Parade, Dark Cloud Cover, Light Old Olive & Light Mossy Meadow. I also used Shimmer Brush in Golden Glow and Wink of Stella. Once colored this was attached to a Real Red 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I embossed a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Crumb Cake with the Forever Plaid embossing folder and attached it to the Crumb cake card base (4 1/4 x 11) The stamped images were then added with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment in Real Redink on a Crumb Cake strip, then again in VersaMark, sprinkled it with Clear embossing powder & heat set.It’s best to use the Stampin’ Positioner for this step! I angled the ends and attached with dimensionals.
For the inside… I stamped this very cute porcupine in Memento ink & colored him with Stampin’ Blends using Crumb Cake. I stamped the stars also in Memento ink and used the Shimmer Brush in Golden Glow to color them. Theis 3 3/4 x 5 panel of Basic White was attached to Real Red 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 then added to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, I used the Woodland Wishes to stamp both the flap & the front with images from the Woodland Wishes stamp set – all in Memento ink. I colored them as well: Stampin’ Blends in Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink and the Shimmer Brush inGolden Glow. What a peaceful scene this all creates!
Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day! Make someone happy by sending them a handmade card filled with ❤️
Yep – another hot foils card using the Butterfly Flight Hot Foils Dies. 😀 In my post on 7/9, you say the die cuts made & colored… this time I used the foil left over from the transfer to create this card. Let nothing go to waste is the motto. hee hee. I took a panel of Basic White, Blending Brushes & Pool Party & Granny Apple Green and added color to the card stock panel. I then laid the ‘leftover’ foil on top after strategically adding Stampin’ Seal in various areas. This held the foil in place &allowed the colors to come through where the gold foil was transferred to something else. I used the piece with the die cuts removed, put dimensionals on the back & attached them together. The card base is Pool Party, standard A2 size (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) and the new card front was added with adhesive of choice. Because I had a remaining butterfly I added it as well with two Rhinestone Basic Jewels, then added more of the same to all the butterflies on the card front.
For the inside, I stamped the sweet lily from Lily of the Valley stamp set (yes, it comes with dies!) with Basic Gray ink and colored with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and Shimmer Brush in Barely Blush. The sentiment is from the Lily of the Valley stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink. The panel was added to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… the same lily from Lily of the Valley stamp set was stamped on the front in basic Gray ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Granny Apple Green and Shimmer Brush in Barely Blush. The flap got a 2 1/4 x 6 strip of the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP added & trimmed to fit. Love, love.
Oh my goodness… using the hot foil is so much fun… and adds another bit of elegance to any card. I keep learning.. & playing 😀
info about the hot foil system

– Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock. So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!
– IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling. You cannot die cut using foiling dies. Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.
AND… while I had ended the double Daisy Rewards – I’m re-instituting that – so double your fun. DOUBLE REWARDS through July 13, 2026 + for orders $50 & up, the monthly tutorial.

Welcome welcome. Oh it is so energizing to try new products and new fun folds, etc. etc. I think we have a treat for you today.
Let’s look more closely at this card with some other photos.
What’s neat about this fun fold is the way it opens and flips or flaps one way or the other while the center remains intact. It’s hard to describe, but it can close either way & it fits in a standard A2 envelope.
How to make this card… and it might help to do a template first! This is called a flip-flap card.
Card base is 6 3/4 x 5 1/2. Mark all four sides lightly with a pencil at the 1 1/4″ mark.
With the long side at top, score at 2 3/4 & 4″ both above & below the 1 1/4″ mark
With the long side at top and the right edge at the 1 1/4 mark on the right side of the paper trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 4 1/4″ (or the pencil mark). Follow this with long side at top for the opposite side.
With short side at top & the right edge of paper at the 1 14″ mark on the right side of the trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 2 3/4″. Flip paper over & with short side at top, do same on opposite end.
You have now connected the cuts, leaving the center held at top & bottom between the scored areas of 2 3/4″ & 4″ 😀
Burnish the scores as mountain & valley.
Now you may decorate! Be sure to erase your pencil lines prior to adding your DSP pieces 😁 Long panels on both right & left are 1 1/8 x 5 3/8 (cut 2 for front & 2 for back. Add these with adhesive of choice. Short sections at top & bottom are the same dimensions: 1 3/8 x 1 1/8, 1 1/8 x orate.1 1/8 & 1 3/8 x 1 1/8. Cut 4 of each for both front & back. Adhere appropriately. The center section is 4 1/8 x 2 7/8 (cut 2 – one for front & one for back). Adhere & decorate.
You can see I used the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP & the Lily of the Valley stamp set for the one sentiment (to one of the nicest people I know) stamped in Garden Green ink. The colored butterflies were done using the Hot Foil machine on Willow White paper then colored after the foil process with Stamp[in’ Blends: Blackberry Bliss & Pool Party. The small foil dies were die cut from Gold Foil using the Butterfly Flight Dies. The happy birthday sentiment was made with the hot foil system using White Will & of course the gold foil for the system & heated then die cut – Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies. All butterflies were added with dimensionals.
For the envelope…only the flap was decorated – using a pattern from the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP.
The Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil System will be available for customer purchase on 7/10/2026 and you may order it from me (of course!). See my information below the list of names to learn how to do that!

Good Saturday! I’m sharing a pretty card using the Moonlit Flora 12 x 12 DSP as the background and the Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder as thew focal point. It’s a wuick card to put together and this layout is one that can be used with just about any designer series paper.
The card base is Old Olive with a layer of the Moonlit Flora covering the entire front. I embossed a Basic White panel using the Fern & Flora 3D ef, then used various shades of green and Blending Brushes to add color to it: Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive. I then cut the panels: 1 3/4 x 1 1/2; 1 3/4 x 2 1/2; 1 x 2 1/2 & 1 x 1 1/2. These were adhered to a Mossy Meadow panel3 x 4 1/4 then a Granny Apple Green 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. This was added to the front with dimensionals. For the sentiment, I stamped the banner border in Secret Sea then the sentiment in Old Olive – both from the Fern & Flora stamp set. I die cut the banner using the Fern & Flora Dies. This was added, also with dimensionals then the super fun Dreamy Flowers for embellishment – Berry Burst in color.
For the inside… simple Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4 with a strip of the Moonlit Flora DSP at the bottom.
For the envelope, more of the Moonlit Flora DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit & a beautiful stamped fern on the front: Fern & Flora stamp set + Granny Apple Green ink. Someone is going to love receiving this card!

Oh I love this fun fold – it’s so easy & just pops with elegance or fun, depending on the Designer Series Paper used. As in the heading, I’ve used the soft colors of the Bloom Boutique DSP from the March ONLNE EXCLUSIVES. The paper is all in the new 2026-2028 In Colors and I primarily focused on Hydrangea Hue. I also used one pattern in the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP.
I began with Thick Basic White 11 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1 3/4, 5 1/2, and 9 3/4. Burnish these mountain(it folds back), valley, valley(this one folds over). Layer for front: 3 5/8 x 5 3/8; layer for the fold back panel 1 5/8 x 5 3/8 & layer for the fold over panel: 1 1/8 x 5 3/8 (I used Hydrangea Hue in each case). DSP pieces are coordinating but all different: 3 1/2 x 5 14, 1 1/2 x 5 14, & 1 x 5 1/4. Attach to the card base. Now cut for the inside of the card… 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 & 1 x 5 1/4; the sentiment panel has a layer 3 7/8 x 5 1/4 + Basic White 3 3/4 x 5 1/8 or cut with the 2nd largest Perennial Postage Dies. Stamp the Basic White with a sentiment – I used Forever Florals stamp set (also a March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) & Hydrangea Hue ink + WOW! Metallic embossing powder in gold (heat set of course)
Now let’s decorate the front. Sometimes, this quick fun fold card uses a belly band, this one uses a ribbon instead – 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon in Hydrangea Hue, about 21″ worth. It’s attached to the front fold-over panel with Stampin’ Seal and under the sentiment banner. Sentiment banner: using the largest of the banner dies in the Forever Floral Dies, cut from Hydrangea Hue. Using the rectangular banner die from Forever Florals Dies, cut from Basic White & stamp the sentiment from the Forever Florals stamp set in Hydrangea Hue ink. Stamp a couple of small leaves from this same stamp set in Hydrangea Hue, stamp the veins in VersaMark ink and sprinkle with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set. Die cut with the appropriate leaf die in Forever Florals Dies. Add the Basic White sentiment banner to the blue banner with dimensionals. Position the die cut leaves & adhere. Now stamp three flowers in Hydrangea Hue ink on a Basic White scrap & die cut. Add these with dimensionals to the leaves. Add the banner with liquid glue over the ribbon on the fold over panel. Tie the ribbon in a bow & done! Stunningly beautiful, easy on the eyes. With these particular colors and this DSP, this could not only be a thinking of you kind of card, but also a sympathy card.
Envelope… more of the Bloom Boutique DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, another leaf stamp in the Forever Florals stamp set stamped in Hydrangea Hue, then the veins stamped in VersaMark ink, sprinkled with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set. YES! This card is ready to send!!!
YAY – love this card… gentle on the eyes & quick & easy fun fold. Want to make this card – you may order the supplies from me listed below to do that.

Welcome to Thursday and this fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! You’ll see some creative stuff today I’m sure. We have a color challenge and it’s perfect for the Waterside Retreat DSP – all the colors in the challenge are used 😀.
The cards front image was cut out directly from the patterned paper and added to a background of Pecan Pie. Another pattern in the Waterside Retreat DSP was added to the Pool Party card base., then the picture image pieces were attached with dimensionals. I cut out a single oar from another piece of the Waterside Retreat & attached it with liquid glue and a small dimensional on the oar ends. I added the Loose Anchor Trinket with glue dots after adding a length of Linen Thread & tying it in a knot – all with glue dots. Then I cut three lengths of of card stock 1/2 x 2 1/4 (Basic White, Pool Party & Pecan Pie), created pointy ends layered then together with dabs of glue then slipped them under one end of the trinket attaching with a dab of glue. Oh – and the sentiment… from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set stamped in Pecan Pie ink.
This is just a perfect masculine card for many occasions… could be birthday, retirement, promotion – just lots of opportunities. There are so many parts of this card that I like: the added trinket, the three (3) banners, the oar, the SCENE! It’s peaceful, calm, nothing demanding about it. It ‘rests’ easily. This DSP – Waterside Retreat – is just so special – it can be masculine or it could be feminine. While I called this a masculine card in a ‘tag’, it doesn’t have to be. This could be anyone who appreciates fishing, being on the water for any reason, relaxing, watching birds & the life of a place like this – a camp maybe..
For the inside … a Basic White panel attached to Pecan Pie and added to the inside of the card base. Then a life vest fussy cut with paper snips added with liquid glue.
The envelope … more of the Waterside Retreat DSP on the flap trimmed to fit. For the front seagulls were stamped in stamped off once Gray Granite ink.

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. 😀
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.
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!
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!

It’s Thursday & time for another Blog Hop from this fabulous Krew! We have a sketch challenge today that is so versatile and can be used for lots of cards – birthdays, sympathy, you name it. I chose this Waterside Retreat DSP as this card is for a fisherman for Father’s Day. I think this fits well!
Here’s what I did to create this card… I first cut a panel of the Waterside Retreat DSP 3 3/4 x 5 1/2 & added a slip margin of Azure Afternoon card stock to the one side. I set this aside and cut a 1 x 5 1/2 piece of the same DSP (it’s the reverse side of the fish images) and added it to the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Azure Afternoon card base (yep, scored at 4 1/4. I then added the set aside panel. These were all added with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in Azure Afternoon ink using the Relaxing Waterside stamp set, on the Azure Afternoon 5/8 x 2 1/2″ strip. I attached this to a Crisp Cantaloupe 3/4 x 2 1/2 strip & slipped a large Linen Thread bow between dimensionals & attached it with a glue dot to the strip. The strip was added to the card front with dimensionals as mentioned. Final touch – 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Crisp Cantaloupe.
For the inside… A 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White with a strip of the Waterside Retreat DSP 3/4 x 5 1/4 was then stamped with na sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink. This was added to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… a 2 1/4 x 6″ strip of the Waterside Retreat was added to the flapn & trimmed to fit. On the front a simple grass stamped in Old Olive ink three times without re-inking in between. This gives a sense of dimension to the image. Love the simplicity!

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I’m showing off a new Specialty Designer Series Paper for it. I’ve created three cards but the first is the first is my favorite. Why is it special – because it has raised areas that feel like velvet!!! Hence the name – Velvet Meadows
This card began with one of the new IN COLOR card stocks – Peaceful Pine 11 x4 1/4 scored at 5 1/2 (side fold). I used a SDSP layer 4 x 5 1/4 from Velvet Meadows SDSP.. The next layer is another Peaceful Pine with the gorgeous velvet side of the Velvet Meadows SDSP – adhered together & added with dimensionals. I then die cut some of the flowers from the SDSP using the coordinating Flowering Meadows Dies. I fussy cut several leaves: leaves & flowers were added to the card front with dimensionals. Now we have two layers of dimensionals in total. The sentiment is stamped in Berry Burst using the Flowering Meadows stamp set and fussy cut, then added with dimesnionals. Final step – two stunning embellishments: Dreaming Flowers in whiten – yep, from the suite!
For the inside… I stamped this floral image from the Flowering Meadows stamp set in Berry Burst on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. This was attached to the inside side of the card.
For the envelope… I stamped this same image in Berry Burst on both the flap & the front of the envelope. This just ties everything together making it look so perfect!
My next card is again a card base of Peaceful Pine5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (top fold). I embossed a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 with the Paradise Garden 3D embossing Folder & attached it to the card front. The next layer is Peaceful Pine with a layer of the Velvet Meadows SDSP & attached with dimensionals. In this suite of products is the Velveteen Assortment Special Paper – this one used is white. I die cut these gorgeous small leaves using the Flowering Meadows Dies. On Basic White I stamped the daisyin Peaceful Pine ink, then die cut the center with the Velveteen Assortment Specialty Paper in White and attached this by adhering the stem with liquid glue & a mini dimensional on the back of the daisy flower.
For the inside, I stamped off the stems & image in Peaceful Pine on the Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 & attached it – no sentiment!
For this last card, I used Berry Burst for the card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 – top fold). I layered this with Velvet Meadows SDSP 4 x 5 1/4. The next is Berry Burst & another of the papers in Velvet Meadows SDSP – I LIKE this contrast! I’ve added no sentiment or any kind of embellishment. The SDSP speaks for itself.
For the inside, I stamped the double flower image in Berry Burst ink on the Basic White panel (5 1/4 x 4) & adhered this to the inside of the card. The sentiment is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink using the Flowering Meadows stamp set.
Here are the envelopes for the two additional cards: the left stamped with Peaceful Pine ink: full strength then stamped again & once more without re-inking. This was sone on the envelope front & the flap. The envelope on right is stamped off erry Burst ink and the same double flowers image from Flowering Meadows stamp set.
Now… check out what others on the hop are creating. I had extra fun making cards with the same layout but each with different layers/ embellishments or very simple & just paper, Each is so different from the next, which makes it extra fun.
