Good Monday! I have a sweet card for you today using a DSP from the SU! Online Exclusives store: Naturally Guilded Specialty DSP. It’s beautiful, woodsy but in a gold, silver and copper.
I chose the silver and used Blending Brushes to add color. The inks are Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Azure Afternoon. After coloring, I placed an Azure Afternoon panel behind it, dimensionals, and added it to a Pebbled Path card base. With the Meadow Dies, I die cut this sweet flower from Basic White and colored with Lemon Lolly and Azure Afternoon inks using Blending Brushes. Combining those two colors on the stem & leaves made them green, without adding a third ink color :O). I die cut the flower center from Early Espresso card stock. The Sentiment is from Quiet Meadow stamp set and stamped in Pebbled Path ink and die cut with the Meadow Dies. I added dimensionals to it and placed it over the flower. The bow is a double bow made with the Simply Elegant Trim in silver and was added with a glue dot. The final touch was the addition of several Festive Pearls in silver, both on the sentiment and the card front.
For the inside another Azure Afternoon panel was adhered first. The Basic White panel was stamped with this lovely flower bunch from Quiet Meadow stamp set in Stazon Ink. I colored it with Light Lemon Lolly, Light Granny Apple Green and SU 100 Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is again from Quiet Meadow stamp set and stamped in Pebbled Path ink.
The envelope did not stamp so well :O( but I used the same stamp as the inside of the card, from Quiet Meadow stamp set. And more Naturally Guilded SDSP on the flap. After trimming to size I colored it as I did the card front: Blending Brushes, Lemon Lolly and Azure Afternoon inks.

Good Wednesday – happy Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog opening day!!! Wheee. It’s time for customer ‘happy day’, right? My card today features one of the Designer Series Paspers in this new catalog – Garden Walk 6×6 DSP.
I’ve paired this designert series paper with Timeless Charm bundle which is part of an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE as I do not yet have the coordinating stamps & dies to the DSP. Aren’t the colors pretty? Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, and Garden Green plus some softer tones of maybe Balmy Blue, although that is not mentioned on the color coordination label.
The Garden Walk DSP is cut 1 x 4 for the two longer strips & 1 x 2 3/4 for the two end strips. And the cool part about this particular pattern is that the dotted side is the reverse of the flower pattern side :O). These were adhered to a Calypso Coral piece 4 x 5 1/4.n The Basic White piece is 1 5/8 x 2 7/8 and stamped prior to adhering in place. The sentiment comes from Timeless Charm stamp set and was stamped in Poppy Parade ink. The splotches are from the Timeless Charm stamp set and stamped in second generation Calypso Coral ink. Once adhered in place, the die cut flower was adhered with liquid glue. This is a Basic White die cut from the Timeless Charm Dies. The Garden Green leaves are a die cut from Timeless Charm Dies and also adhered with liquid glue. I die cut an additional flower center in Calypso Coral and adhered in in place with mini dimensionals. The final touch for the card front was the Iridescent Pastel Gems in Balmy Blue.
Again, using Timeless Charm stamp set, I stamped this ‘blob’ in second generation Calypso Coral then added the flower from Timeless Charm stamp set in Poppy Parade – all on a Basic White panel.
For the envelope, more of the Garden Walk 6×6 DSP for the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit. The fun leaf stamp is from Timeless Charm stamp set and stamped in stamped off Garden Green ink. A very thin strip of the Garden Walk 6×6 DSP was added at the bottom to tie it all together. A fun, quick and easy card :O)
With the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog going live today, you can purchase that paper easily right here. And for the Timeless Charm bundle and other Stampin’ Up! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES, shop with me here. While you’re viewing the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES, please note, there is a Special Release of new Designer Series Papers available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST beginning today Sep 6.
Surprise, surprise! We’re offering a special release of five beautiful new Designer Series Paper options! These papers include fabulous holiday prints, gorgeous seasonal styles, and some spectacular timeless designs.
We originally created these papers to be part of our second Sale-A-Bration offering.

Good Friday morning! It’s cool here in the northeast – 54 degree when we walked. And that means fall is a-comin’. That’s perfect for today’s card because I chose to use one of the masks in the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks.
I used Blending Brushes and three colors of ink to create this with one of the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler – definite fall colors. And here’s the mask after using the Blending Brushes.
You can see that I held the paper in place AND the mask in place using post-it notes. And that is a key to making the finished product clear. I trimmed the Basic White panel a bit then with a Water Painter added some water splotches. I did this by squeezing just a bit of water into the brush then tapping it against my other hand. Once dry I used an Early Espresso Marker to flick some splatters to the entire panel. This was added to a Cherry Cobbler panel just slightly larger. I wanted the card base to be Pumpkin Pie card stock, but also wanted some texture on the card – so ran a separate panel of Pumpkin Pie through the cut & emboss machine with the Basics 3D Embossing folder, Crosshatch. This is a product part of the Online Exclusives. This embossed panel was adhered to the card base withn loiquid glue and the top two panels were added with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment using another new product available Sep 6, the Abundant Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on another Basic White piece, and die cut it with a die from the Abundant Leaves Dies. I also wanted another image behind the sentiment and looked at the Abundant Leaves Dies and say this image that is really ‘veins’ for a leaf. I die cut it from Early Espresso card stock and added it with dots of liquid glue to the card front, putting dimensionals on the sentiment and adding it over the die cut. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots – also a new product available Sep 6.
Using the die cut from Abundant Leaves Dies as a stencil, I used the Blending Brushes used to create the card front, to create the image on the inside of the card. Again, the Basic White panel was adhered to a Cherry Cobbler card stock then added to the inside of the card.
With the Abundant Beauty Masks still on my desk, I used the mask and Blending Brushes to decorate the envelope, some leaves on the front, then the entire flap. it ties everything together. Abundant Beauty Masks – a real bargain and a fun play with Blending Brushes!
Remember, several of the items used to create this card will be available Sep 6 as they are in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator or a new catalog, please reach out to me. I also have a Designer Series Paper Share as part of the same catalog – touting all the new Designer Series Papers.

Online Exclusives are just that – not in any Stampin’ Up! catalog.
The Basics 3D Embossing Folders used in today’s project, are part of this.
Oh, more new products to share today: Forever Forest Dies, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder and Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets :O)
I began by running a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel through the Christmas Tidings EF and layered it on a Pecan Pie card piece just slightly larger. I wrapped a red ribbon around it from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (annual catalog), securing it in back with Stampin’ Seal. These were added to a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.) I punched the bear from A Walk in the Forest DSP using the Beary Cute Punch. And yes, this punch also coordinates with the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP – YAY! The trees were die cut using the Forever Forest Dies from Shimmer Paper. There are several tree sizes in this set of dies, so it’s a matter of deciding which ones to use. I adhered the smaller tree so the base sat inside the ribbon, the larger tree is on dimensionals and overlaps the ribbon. I adhered the bear with dimensionals as well – as though it is ‘walking to the forest’. The final touch was this stunning Adhesive-Backed Star Trinket at the top of the taller tree. All these new items will be available in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog come September 6!
For the inside… I used another new product… the Tiny Christmas Tree Dies to die cut the border of the Basic White inside panel. Are those tiny trees too cute or what?! And I saved the die cut trees to use later :O) This die can be used as a card front as well – look for that in the near future! The sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink using another new stamp set, Magical Meadow. This Basic White panel was adhered to a Pecan Pie piece and attached to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, another piece of Basic White was run through the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder, attached to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. I used three of the die cut trees from the Tiny Christmas Trees Die to adhere to the envelope front – and they are perfect there!

Welcome to another Thursday… and the amazing Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge for this hop.
I found the directions for this card and it seemed a clever way of making the card more flexible – and just had to give it a try. Susan Campfield was the demonstrator and had another name for it. Here’s what it looks like open.
Notice how there is a gap between the front of the card and the back of the card – that’s the split. And here’s how the card looks from the top.
Directions to make this card are not all that complicated – and all the colors for the color challenge are in the DSP :O) I used Blueberry Bushel for the card base, Pretty Peacock for stamping one of the sentiments and Bubble Bath and Lemon Lime Twist are in the DSP – so we’re good.
Cut the card base back from Blueberry Bushel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Cut the card front in two parts: Blueberry Bushel 1 3/4 x 5 12 & Masterfully Made DSP 3 x 5 1/2
Adhere the two front panels together so they measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Cut the ‘M’ section from Blueberry Bushel 11 x 4 3/4 and score on the long side @ 2 3/4, 5 1/2, 8 1/4. Burnish as valley, mountain, valley as shown above.
Decorate panels as desired: Basic White layers are 2 1/2 x 4 1/2
Panel 1 is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink using the Charming stamp set; Radiating Stitches Dies was used to die cut the heart from Masterfully Made DSP
Panel 2 is a layer of Masterfully Made DSP 2 14 x 4 1/4 on the Basic White panel
Panel 3 is the same Masterfully Made DSP pattern as the heart, cut 1 x 4 1/4 adhered to the Basic White panel. Here I will write my message.
Panel 4 is this pretty stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set, stamped with Pretty Peacock ink, stamped off once. Over that is another sentiment, this time from So Sincere stamp set (available Sep.6 in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog) in full strength Blueberry Bushel ink on the Basic White panel.
On the inside of the back of the card, I used the Gorgeously Made stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp these pretty images
Adhere the now decorated ‘M’ fold to the inside of the card front, keeping bottom edges even with card front; secure to back in same fashion.
Decorate the card front:
The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink to a Basic White scrap using the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set, then die cut with the coordinating Wonderful Thoughts Dies. This was adhered to the card front with dimensionals cut in half. Three Berry Burst embellishments were added from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.
I used another pattern of the Masterfully Made DSP to adhere to the envelope, trimmed to fit – 2 1/4 x 6.
Fun card to make! I hope you give it a try and share your photos with me.
Now, on with the hop! See what creative folks we have on our team. you won’t want to miss a single one!

Good Thursday morning! How’s your week going? Mine is good, lots going on, but that’s OK. Working with others is medicine for my soul :O) We have a sketch challenge for our hop today and I’m excited to share a new product from the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog – or maybe a few new products. :O)
Let me just say, I am LOVING this bundle! This comes in a suite of products called Joy Of Christmas and includes two stamp sets with dies, stunningly glorious DSP (2 packs), ribbon and gems & sequins. They may be found on pages 28-31 in the Min Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog. If you don’t have a catalog, reach out to me… I can ‘fix’ that!
This is a slimline card… card base is Shaded Spruce card stock with a layer of some of this gorgeous Joy of Christmas 12 x 12 DSP then a layer of Vellum adhered to that and a smaller piece of another panel of the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. Then… I took out this glorious die for the background banner. It includes these off-shoots of leaves and holly, etc. I decided to die cut from yet another panel of the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. I pulled out the Joy of Noel Dies to die cut holly (from Garden Green card stock) and pine sprigs (from Shaded Spruce card stock.) These were added to the back of the banner die cut from DSP with Stampin’ Seal then added to the card front with dimensionals. I pulled out a Basic White scrap and stamped this fun mixed font message which is from Christmas Classics stamp set and stamped it in Shaded Spruce ink. I die cut that with a die from the Christmas Classics Dies and added it to the larger banner with dimensionals. I added the Real Red gems from the Loose Holly and Gems & Sequins Pack.
For the inside of the card… a piece of Real Red card stock with a layer of Basic White. Before adhering the Basic White panel I stamped it with the holly in Shaded Spruce ink, then the sentiment in Real Red ink. Both come from Christmas Classics stamp set.
Stampin’ Up! does not have envelopes that fit this size card, but I happened to have one in red :O). I stamped the cute holly stamp in Shaded Spruce ink on the front and on the envelope flap – and then didn’t take a picture of it. Ugh!
Card cuts for this card:
Shaded Spruce (card base): 7 x 8 1/2 scored @ 3 1/2 on the short side
Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP: 2 5/8 x 8 1/2; 1 3/4 x 5 (plaid strip); 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 (banner die cut)
Vellum : 2 5/8 x 5 12
Real Red: 3 x 8 (inside)
Basic White: 2 1/2 x 7 1/2 (inside); 1 x 3 3/4 (front sentiment banner)
Now it’s time to enjoy the rest of the hop! Click the ‘next’ button or a name to see what others have created!

Computers. Ugh. Mine was out of commission all day yesterday. Praying today will be a better day all around :O)
My card today is another scene using the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. But it is super simple, no real embellishments.
This particular DSP is suited for either a Mossy Meadow background or Crumb Cake, or even Early Espresso. I wanted a light color and stuck with Crumb Cake for the card base and adhered the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP directly to it. It is such a serene scene. From Basic White and the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I cut two ‘mounds’ of snow and adhered those near the bottom. I stamped the horse & sleigh image in Memento ink and colored it with several Stampin’ Blends: Lost Lagoon, Light Cherry Cobbler, Light Smoky Slate and SU 100 for the skin tone. Then I die cut the piece with the Horse & Sleigh Dies and added it to the card front with dimensionals. I die cut the sleigh rungs from Silver Foil Specialty Paper and adhered those with dots of liquid glue.
For the inside, I took a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP, stamped Boho Blue snowflakes with the appropriate stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set and adhered this to the inside of the card. I took a piece of Basic White and die cut it with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, stamped the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set and added that to the inside of the card.
For the envelope: another piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and the fun snowflake stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set + Boho ink, then adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit.

Good Monday morning. I’ve been playing with an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product, part of the One Horse Open Sleigh suite. I wanted to create another ‘scene’ kind of card and had not done this Center Step fun fold in a while – and thought, why not?
The card base is Boho Blue, mats are Misty Moonlight. The DSP layers are from the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP pack, and I used a couple of different ones which you’ll see as you look at photos. The very fun snowflakes are from this suite of products and they are Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment in copper, gold and white. I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel in the center of each snowflake. The ribbon is Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon. It’s best to add the layers to the card base prior to adding the center step fold.
I began by cutting my DSP center step panel as the focus of the card, adhered it to the mat for that panel and the mat to the center step. (HINT: I cut my DSP piece at 4″ , cut the focus panel out and used each remaining side piece for the side panels, trimmed to proper size.)
Center step base:
Boho Blue, 3 x 6 and scored at 4 1/4 on the long side
Center step mat:
Misty Moonlight 2 7/8 x 4 1/8
Center step DSP:
2 3/4 x 4
Create the card base: Boho Blue 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score @ 3, 6, and 7. Burnish with 3″ score line as a mountain fold, the 6″ score as a valley fold and the 7″ score another mountain.
Attach side panels on middle section allowing for narrow edge (1/16″):
Misty Moonlight mat 2 7/8 x 1 1/8 (Cut 2)
DSP 2 3/4 x 1 (Cut 2, using the remaining pieces from the initial removal of the focal panel; one from each side piece so the flow of the design carries to both sides. :O)
Add inside pieces. This is where you write your message :O)
Misty Moonlight mat 2 7/8 x 5 3/8
Basic White 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 (I added a strip of the DSP 5/8 x 2 7/8 and a copper Adhesive-Backed Snowflake & Rhinestone Basic Jewel)
Add center step fold (the 6 x 3 scored piece) to the very bottom of the card front, but do not attach the back of this panel just yet. Add bottom side panels to either side.
Misty Moonlight mat 1 1/8 x 1 3/8 (cut 2)
DSP 1 x 1 1/4
Wrap with ribbon (Night of navy 3/8 Border Ribbon) and adhere in back with glue dot.
Slip another length under the front piece and tie a knot; adhere at knot with glue dot; trim ends
Close card with center step fold folded over and laying on back of card. Add glue to adhere to card back. (I added liquid glue at the edge of the fold of the card back and at the end of the center step fold back.)
Add Misty Moonlight mat 2 7/8 x 5 3/8
Add DSP 2 3/4 x 5 1/4
For the envelope, I added more of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the flap, trimmed to fit and that was it, no extra pattern or stamp on the envelope front.

Hello – it’s Friday and I have a fun fold for you today… a Double Pop-Up Card that I saw on Splitcoast Stampers. You can go to YouTube for a video. This fun fold intrigued me and I simply had to make it. We made this card in my card class a bit ago and everyone had a REALLY good time :O)
These little birds are so stinkin’ cute! And I love them with glasses, which is a stamp in the set :O)
I used Stampin’ Blends to color everything: on the front – Daffodil Delight for the bird, S300 & S400 for the Branch, Old Olive for the leaves and I fussy cut them. The sentiment on the front comes from Cheerful Daisies stamp set and stamped in Basic Gray on Basic White card stock, die cut with Cheerful Daisies Dies. It was adhered with dimensionals to an Old Olive piece die cut with Deckled Rectangles Dies and adhered with liquid glue to the card front. Tinsel Gems 4 pack in Berry Burst were added for sparkle & glam.
Delightfully Eclectic was my choice of DSP and I used Old Olive for all the constructive parts. Let me walk you through this card, cuz it’s a fun one. You do need to pay attention to measurements and score lines. :O)
Measurements & detail:
Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Lightly mark the center of the score line @ 2 3/4
Cut DSP for inside back: 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 and adhere to inside back
Cut panel 5 1/2 x 5 1/2, score @ 3, burnish
cut DSP to decorate: 5 3/8 x 2 7/8 (left inside section); 5 3/8 x 2 3/8 (right inside section)
stamp or decorate as desired (this is a thick card, so I
highly recommend only stamping)
add to inside of card base with front edges even with one another – see photo
You can see I colored here again… Stampin’ Blends Daffodil Delight for the birds; books are Copper Clay, Pebbled Path, and Pecan Pie. For the book edges I used Light Smoky Slate.
Adhere panel 5 1/4 x 4 of Designer Series Paper Delightfully Eclectic to the inside back panel.
With 1/2″ end on left, lightly draw lines from first score line to 3rd score line, diagonally to create an X
score over these lines, erase pencil marks and burnish
add Tear n tape to the 1/2″ end
at opposite end of mechanism, add liquid adhesive and adhere to inside card base, left side, centering with score line and pencil mark. You do not want to interfere with the fold, so butt it up against the centerfold
Decorated squares of pop-up:
Cut 2 panels 2 3/8 x 2 3/8 same color as card base. Here it is Old Olive.
Cut 2 panel 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 from Basic White or patterned paper. I chose Basic White and stamped, colored the 2 squares
top square is colored with Daffodil Delight. The ‘branch’ is a die cut from Cheerful Daisies Dies that is really a stem. But cut in Early Espresso it looks like a branch – and is adhered with liquid glue.
bottom square is all over stamped eye glasses from the Birds Eye View stamp set.
Add these two squares together then to mechanism. Notice how they are separated about 1/4″ This is so they do not interfere in the opening and closing of the card. When the card is closed these pop-ups simply fold right into the card. :O)
For the envelope… I added more of the stripe from Delightfully Eclectic to flap and trimmed it to fit. For the envelope front I stamped this cute bird from Birds Eye View in Basic Gray ink and colored it with Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends. Gads – no photo! What the heck…

The size of a notecard is 3 1/2 x 5 and is simply a sweet size. And, it is not too small to be mailed. My card today is made with one of the Basic White Notecards and Envelopes.
I began by stamping this cute cupcake from Circle Sayings stamp set in Crumb Cake ink and coloring it with Stampin’ Blends Bubble Bath for the icing and Light Smoky Slate for the wrap, I wanted it to look like a foil so added Wink of Stella for the shine. It doesn’t show in the photo but it does in person :O) I stamped the ‘circle saying’ in Crumb Cake as well and die cut with a circle from Sylish Shapes Dies. For more sparkle (cuz birthdays are special occasions) I die cut a larger circle from Soft Shimmer paper in Bubble Bath – yep, Stylish Shapes Dies. I added a bow made from the Simply Elegant Trim in silver and attached it with a glue dot. This item I set aside.
On a piece of Crumb Cake I stamped repeatedly the words Happy Birthday using a stamp from Go To Greetings – in Crumb Cake ink. I attached the stamped and decorated circle with dimensionals. I cut small strips of the same Soft Glimmer paper in Bubble Bath and attached them to the Notecard front, then added the Crumb Cake panel. The Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink seemed to match pretty well, so I added those as well.
For the inside… I used Bubble Bath ink and Crumb Cake ink to stamp sentiments from Circle Sayings stamp set on a Basic White piece. This was added to a very slightly larger panel of Crumb Cake and added to the inside of the card.
For the envelope I used another sentiment from Go To Greetings stamp set to stamp in Crumb Cake ink – and that was it. I kept it very simple.
For the card cuts and products, see below. And if you wish to order these products, be sure to use my current HOST CODE to receive rewards. What does that mean?
