Wow – tomorrow is THE DAY – the Fourth of July – what are you doing special? Picnic? Fireworks? Friends? Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today that offers so man y possibilities Let’s have a look….
What do you think – does this work for the sketch? I used a few items in the Gallery Suite of products.. the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP (the reverse side!) the Damask Designs embossing Folder, the Gallery Blooms Bundle (die cuts), and the Beautiful Motifs stamp set for the sentiment. In lieu of the embellishments in the suite, I used the Adhesive-Backed Birds & Dragonflies. Here’s how I created this…
Basic Gray card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Basic Gray layer 5 x 3 3/4, embossed with Damask Designs embossing folder. Adhere directly to card base
Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP 3 x 4 1/4, backed with card stock for strength (to be added to card front with dimensionals once decorated)
Die cuts: created using the Gallery Blooms Dies… Mossy Meadow for the background leaves; Basic White colored with Blending Brushes using Peach Pie and Mossy Meadow then die cut for the middle flowers & a bit of Pecan Pie on the edges of the flowers after die cutting; die cut the front leaves from Basic White then use a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink to color lightly. These were layered as shown with liquid glue.
The sentiment is stamped in Secret Sea ink using the Beautiful Motifs stamp set, then the Basic White strip ‘bannered’ on the ends with paper snips. It was added with dimensionals.
I wrapped the one end with Basic Twine Essentials in gray, three times around and secured in back with Tear n Tape, creating a pattern of lines.
Final touch – two of the dragonflies from the Adhesive-Backed Birds & Dragonflies.
Attach this completed panel with dimensionals, centering.
For the inside… I stamped & die cut this wonderful image in Secret Sea ink and was originally going to use it on the front, then decided not to use it. When it came time to do the inside, I decided to0add the die cut (Gallery Blooms Dies) to the 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. And done!
For the envelope… I took the remaining piece of this DSP and added it to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. To me, this seems like a perfect masculine card – could be used for thinking of you after an illness or sympathy, a thank you – just about anything!

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.
And here’s my first card made with this bundle.
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.
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.
For the envelope… more of the Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP in Cherry Cobbler was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Good morning Friends… NJ has had a couple of days respite from the heat – a drop of 30 degrees to the 70’s! These are welcome temperatures! Today’s card is made with the new In Colors Secret Sea and Cloud Cover – and could be duplicated using all the new In Colors.
I began with the 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP cut 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 and cut it on the diagonal, then turned the pieces 90 degrees holding them together, to cut on the other diagonal. (NOTE: This works with DSP that has a reverse side that is coordinating in color/ pattern, not conflicting. So choose carefully 😀) After cutting the DSP, decide which sections should be primary showing the pattern desired. Here I chose the left and right panels to be dominant and simply turned the other two panels to the reverse side. These were adhered to Basic White cut 4 x 5 1/4, dimensionals added to the back and attached to a Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. On the front I added a length of 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon with Stampin’ Seal. Using the Mixed Labels Dies, I cut two labels, the larger in Secret Sea, the smaller in Basic White. I stamped the sentiment using the Mixed Labels stamp set in Secret Sea ink. I layered the two together with adhesive, popped dimensionals across the back on top & bottom and adhered it over the ribbon. The final touch was adding several 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Cloud Cover.
For the inside… simple… a 1/2 x 4 strip of the same 25-27 In Color DSP as used on the card front, and attached to the side of a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel
For the envelope, more of the 25-27 In Color DSP on the flap trimmed to fit. On the front, using Cloud Cover ink and an image in the Mixed Labels stamp set, I stamped twice on the lower left corner. This gives a completed look and could even be used as a masculine card, despite the flowers.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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!

Explosion cards are just that – meant to WOW when opening them. I’ve two of them for you today 0ne is a 4 1/4 square card and the other is a standard A2 card with a finished size of 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. There are advantages to both sizes… both have the same size inside explosion 😀
card one – made with Full of Life 6×6 DSP, Spotlight On Nature Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies, You Are Remarkable stamp set, Beautiful Motifs stamp, Tinsel Gems , Lemon Lime Twist card base, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce & Memento inks. Card base is 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
card two – made with Beautiful Bokeh 6×6 DSP, Spring Corners stamp set, Layered Thoughts stamp, Stitched Shapes Dies, Low Profile Dots, Stampin’ Blends Soft Sea Foam, Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock, Petal Pink card base with an overlay of Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink & Memento inks. Card base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Basic directions…
With the side you wish to have showing most, fold a 6×6 piece of DSP in half, open & turn 90 degrees and fold in half again. Burnish well & open
Turn this piece over and fold in half in a diagonal fashion only once. Burnish and open. This creates the fold across the middle
The white panels on this are made with the largest of the Stitched Squares Dies, stamped and attached with adhesive of choice
Be sure to do all stamping, coloring, decorating before attaching to card base
To attach to card base…
Mark the center point both at the bottom of the card base and close to the center fold of the base
With ‘explosion’ piece completely closed, line up points on the diagonal with center points on card base and adhere to bottom half of card base. Make certain the card base will open and close easily.
Add adhesive to remaining portion of closed ‘explosion’ and close card front. Bingo –
NOTE: Decorate card front before attaching the ‘explosion’ piece.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you give this explosion card a try – super easy and gives a real wow! to a card. May you have a beautiful day!
Products to make these two cards are listed below. Be sure my name is listed as your demonstrator so you get credit (from me) for purchases. 😀
Good morning! I participated in a Demonstrator only event yesterday called Creativity Now and we used a NEW suite collection that will be available in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog . We made 3 cards and a darling little box. But first, the suite products.
Peace On Earth Bundle includes stamp set, dies and the Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder; Hues of Blue Flowers, Peaceful Garden 12×12 DSP both front & reverse side, and Peaceful Garden 12×12 Glimmer Paper. The Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged ribbon is shown on both a card & a cute box.
Card 1 uses strips and beautiful die cut leaves + a stamped sentiment
Card 2 is a fun fold, elongated card with a matching envelope, ribbon and die cuts
Card 3 uses the embossing folder to create a small strip, the showing off another of the DSP and glimmer paper. It also has a ‘pocket’ on the front for a message
The last is a darling box made with the Designer Series Paper, die cuts and ribbon
Fun projects, right? And all because being a demonstrator offers more opportunity for connecting with others, creating, and and and… :O) Join my team now to be a part of the fun and opportunities that await.
Good Thursday – thanks for stopping in to view the creations from this fabulous team of bloggers! We have a sketch challenge today as you’ll see below and I’ve chosen to use the fabulous new Painterly Pears products that will be available Jul 1 for customers in my online store.
I begsn with a card base of Darling Duckling and added a panel of Mossy Meadow 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then a piece of Painterly Pears DSP 4 x 5 1/4. I next cut a piece of Painterly Pears 3 1/8 x 4 3/8 and added it to another piece of Painterly Pear 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. I die cut this gorgeous leaf from Mossy Meadow card stock and adhered it off to the side – this comes from the Painted Pears Dies. I die cut two really fun pieces -open pieces almost like a webbing – one in Mossy Meadow and another in Basic White, also from the Painted Pears Dies. I adhered them offset & together with dots of liquid glue. i stamped the sentiment from the Painted Pears stamp set with Mossy Meadow ink on a strip of Basic White and die cut it with the coordinating dies in the Painted Pears Dies. I adhered this over the fun die cuts mentioned earlier, attached dimensionals to the back and put these in place over the leaf die cut. As a final touchnI added Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Darling Duckling.
For the inside of the card… I stamped these two adorable pears using the Painted Pears stamp set and Mossy Meadow ink. I added color to the leaves with Stampin’ blends light Granny Apple Green then a bit of light Old Olive. For the pears themselves, I stamped them in Darling Duckling ink then added Wink of Stella for some glam :o)
For the envelope… I again stamped the oh so cute pears in Mossy Meadow ink, then added the two-step stamp in Darling Duckling for coloring the pears. And yes, more Wink of Stella on the pears. While it doesn’t show in this photo, I did add more of the Painterly Pears DSP to the envelope flap, & trimmed it to fit.
The products to make this card are part of the Painterly Pears suite of products available Jul 1 in my online store. The only item in the suite not used is the stunning Mossy Meadow & Gold ribbon.

When you shop the sale, the 50% off discount will apply to the lower-priced item (for example, if you buy a suite collection and a stamp set from a suite, the suite would be full price, and the stamp set would be 50% off).
Suite collections are available if all items are in stock; if all items are not in stock, you can still shop the available suite products.
You don’t have to buy a suite and suite products all from the same suite collection for the discount to apply. You can buy any suite products from any suite.
