What a week this has been. As I write this on Wed, I was so sick a week ago. Not over whatever it was/ is, but am so much better! At any rate – the hop… we have a sketch challenge and I chose to work with a new bundle that is a Sale-a-bration bundle available January 7. It’s called Heart Shaped.
I used my 2 3/8 circle punch to create 3 circles – 2 in Basic Beige and the center in Pecan Pie. I die cut the gorgeous heart from Calypso Coral and adhered it to the Pecan Pie. The plaid paper is from the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog, also available January 7 – cut at 3/4 x 5 1/2. I cut a 4 14 x 5 1/2 Calypso Coral piece and ran it through the So Swirly embossing folder and adhered that to the same color card base. I die cut three flower centers from the other side of this same Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP and adhered directly to the circle and also with dimensionals. I added this super Tiny Bee Trinkets with liquid glue and a double Linen Thread bow with a glue dot, and ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Low Profile Dots in gold..
On the inside, I cut a panel of Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4, stamped just a portion of the sentiment from Heart Shaped stamp set in Calypso Coral in, then die cut three more flowers from Calypso Coral card stock I added each with just a dab of liquid glue then added the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Low Profile Dots in gold.
For the envelope, I added a 2 1/4 x 6 Timeless Plaid 6×6 to the flap and that was it.

Good day sweet folks… we had card class yesterday using the the Marbled Elegance products from the suite – ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. This is a sweet, sweet set of stamps/ dies – the Heart of Elegance Bundle. Take a peek at the card and notice the deep embossing on the white heart – love! And what I like a lot is that this card could be a masculine card, birthday card, anniversary card, thinking of you card, or a LOVE card :O) It’s versatile. And… this is a fun fold.
I wanted you to see the side view to notice how the center is the fold fold portion. So maybe we call this a ‘center fun fold’??? If you have a better name for it, let me know!
I began with a card base of Real Red 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and layered a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. Cut a Basic White 3 1/4 x 8 and score on long side at 4. Attach to card base, centering and even with the Basic White at top & bottom. Cut two strips of DSP 7/8 x 3 3/4 and add to side edges. They will lay up against the center folded panel. (my DSP strips are 3/4″ wide and I didn’t like all the white. Trust me, it looks better with wider strips!) Add the Marbled Elegance DSP 3 x 3 3/4 to the front of this panel. Now cut a heart from Gold Foil and another from Basic White and adhere together. Attach with dimensionals to the fun fold panel. I stopped here but there is more that could be done: add adhesive-backed gold hearts from the suite, add a bow using the gold twine in the suite; or add a sentiment banner across the front. Because I have someone specific in mind for this card, I knew they would prefer something more on the simple side – and it’s gorgeous as is – in my opinion that is.
For the inside.. my students (remember this was a card class) chose to heat emboss with the Gold WOW embossing powder, the sentiment ‘Love you” from the Heart of Elegance stamp set. I took a scrap strip of the DSP and adhered it across the bottom. I will heat emboss a sentiment, just not now.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my card and this hop. May you have a beautiful day!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! We have a fantastic theme today – Evergreen Trees 😀 perfect timing, right? I’ve pulled together a card using the Painted Trees 3D EF + the Peaceful Evergreen bundle & Peaceful Season bundle to create my card for you today.
I took this photo in hopes you would be able to see the texture provided by the embossing folder and also the Pearlized Enamel Effects that I added in various places on the trees. Can you see the Pearlized Enamel? I’m pretty certain you can see the texture – it shows easily in this photo. Let me tell you how I created this card.
Directions:
On a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White, I embossed the trees using the Painted Trees 3D EF. I then used a sponge dauber and dabbed Shaded Spruce ink on the tree-raised portions. With another sponge dauber & Pretty Peacock ink, I added some color, but less than with the Shaded Spruce.
I die cut from Basic White, the tree outline image (Peaceful Evergreens Dies), then with the dauber & Shaded Spruce ink, colored just the edges.
I die cut the center of the tree (Peaceful Evergreen Dies) from Winter Meadow DSP and attached it with dots of liquid glue, to the tree outline.
I added these to the embossed panel with dimensionals.
I die cut the star (Peaceful Evergreens Dies) from Season of Elegance SDSP and attached with a mini dimensional.
At this point, I added the Pearlized Enamel Effects to various tips of the embossed trees and to the tree on dimensionals – and set this aside to dry while creating the sentiment pieces.
Using the Peaceful Season Dies… I die cut from Winter Meadow DSP two banners, then die cut two from Basic White. I stamped the Merry in two different inkson the basic white pieces: the upper in Pretty Peacock and the lower in Shaded Spruce, then I cut them apart so just the center remained and attached it to the Winter Meadow DSP piece.
I added these to the card with mini dimensionals.
I added Neutral Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold to the banner.
I added this to a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 panel of Shaded Spruce, then to the Thick Basic White card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
On the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink using the Peaceful Season stamp set on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. I again used the Pearlized Enamel Effects to highlight along the top of each letter of the sentiment. Then I used Shaded Spruce ink & the Peaceful Evergreens stamp set to stamp the trees along the bottom of the panel. Once the Pearlized Enamel Effgects was dry, I added the panel to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… I used the same Season of Elegance SDSP to adhere to envelope flap, trimming it to fit, then stamped the same trees along the bottom of the envelope in Shaded Spruce ink. My hubby LOVES these trees! I like this… what do you think?

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my card and this hop. May you have a beautiful day!
Wow – another week has flown by… and next week is Thanksgiving – AAAgh! Welcome to the blog hop – we have a sketch challenge today that I think you’ll enjoy. I’ve used some new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products that I’m loving. This is a suite called Marbled Elegance Suite and I’ve used a bit of all of it :O) Let’s take a peek. What I saw in the sketch is three same images.
This Designer Series Paper is called Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP – cuz one side has specks or ‘rivers’ of gold. It’s stunning! The coordinating colors list Melon Mambo & Petal Pink. For me, I chose to use Pretty in Pink as a layer for the SDSP. The three hearts (from Hearts of Elegance Dies) are cut from a strip 1 1/2 x 4 that showcases some of the gold. These hearts have a tiny holes as a border and just add an elegant touch to the heart. The layer of a white heart is a scrap of Basic White., again die cut using the Hearts of Elegance Dies. This heart is very plain and is perfect for a border around the SDSP heart die cuts. Each of the hearts is on dimensionals and the strip of SDSP behind them is 5/8 x 5 and adhered to a different panel of the Marbled Elegance SDSP, 3 3/4 x 5, that I embossed for a bit of texture with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. I slipped a bow made from the Gold Twisted Thread that’s part of the suite of products, behind the center heart and attached with a glue dot. So… what we have for the card front… Thick Basic White, standard A2 size, Pretty In Pink w/ adhered embossed SDSP attached with dimensionals. The SDSP strip is adhered with Stampin’ Seal, the Basic White heart is adhered with liquid glue and the three SDSP hearts are on dimensionals. Now… let’s look at the inside.
This is interesting… true confessions once again. I adhered strips of the SDSP to the Petal Pink instead of the Basic White panel I had set aside…, go figure. I decided to just go with it – why not? I stamped the sentiment from the Hearts & Elegance stamp set in Melon Mambo ink, then added this gold Adhesive-Backed Heart Sequin… so very sweet.- which completes using all the items in this online suite. L-O-V-E! Just sayin’
For the envelope… here you can easily see this gorgeous Marbled Elegance SDSP that I used for the hearts – adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. The heart on the front is stamped in Melon Mambo ink and is from the Hearts of Elegance stamp set.
This is a gorgeous suite of products new to the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES products and you may find them here.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my card and this hop. May you have a beautiful day!
Welcome, welcome! Welcome to this blog hop group! Our theme this month is ‘Giving Thanks’ in whatever way that means for us… and I have lots for which to be thankful: people, support, this team and other teams, family, a roof over my head – just LOTS! I chose to use the Autumn Expressions bundle – beautiful script stamps, great dies (I’m a succor for leaf dies) and a host of other beautiful Stampin’ Up! products.
Stunning leaf die cut from Textured Metallic 12×12 Specialty DSP in both gold (2) and copper (1). And the very swirly script and framing – all from the Autumn Expressions bundle. Such a great set! The additional DSP is an online product – Meandering Meadows 6s6 DSP. I cut the front panels to look like sunset, the oranges and pinks streaking across the sky. The ‘frame’ is from another panel of the Meandering Meadows DSP.
For the inside, I used this wonderful ‘grass’ stamp and Pecan Pie ink – first generation and 2nd generation – to stamp across the bottom. How to do that? Ink the stamp, stamp the paper, stamp again without re-inking. This second stamping is called second generation.
Card Cuts/ directions:
Pecan Pie for the card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 on the long side. Burnish and fold other side to meet it, burnishing it as well. Why do I do this in lieu of scoring on each side at 2 1/8? ‘Cuz it doesn’t always come together in the middle – and I want them to. I have found this to be the easiest way to make sure that happens.
Cut Pumpkin Pie 2 x 5 3/8 (2) and adhere to each side front panel
Cut Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (2) and adhere to the Pumpkin Pie
On Basic White 2 3/4 x 3 3/4, stamp the sentiment from Autumn Expressions stamp set in Pecan Pie ink. Die cut with the smaller ‘frame’ from Autumn Expressions Dies. Die cut the outside ‘frame’ for this using the larger ‘frame’ die. Attach together with dots of liquid glue.
Die cut the gorgeous leaves from 1 1/4 square Textured Metallic 12×12 SDSP – two in gold and one in copper. Attach one go0ld leaf to the top of the sentiment frame with liquid glue, then the copper leaf on the opposite corner also with liquid glue. Attache the other gold leaf with a dimensional. Add three Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments on the sentiment panel. Add sentiment panel to the left side of the gate fold – and the card front is complete!
For the envelope… I added more of the same Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. Do the same stamping technique as before along the envelope front.
This can so easily be a masculine card if needed. I like that versatility! And many of these products may be found in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog, Card Stocks & inks, acrylic blocks, paper trimmer – these ‘staples’ are in the Annual Catalog.

Welcome to the HOP! Our theme today is fun folds – and there will be some extraordinary ones, I am certain. I have chosen a tried & true front flap fun fold for today, using the WinterlyTree Tops bundle, the Christmas Labels bundle and Nests of Winter 12 x 12 DSP.
I’m going to be honest, I haven’t played with this set and I’ve had it for a bit. I… LOVE… IT… The pine frame is from Basic White card stock (3 5/8 x 5) and die cut with Winterly Tree Tops Dies. The birds are fussy cut (paper snips) from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP and added with dimensionals. The background (stripes) is also from this DSP pack (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) and was layered on Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 3/8), and adhered to the Basic Black card front. I added three Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE). Let’s look at how this card opens… the front flap opens from the top to show the gatefold, below.
The layers are Cherry Cobbler (2 x 5 3/8 – cut 2) and a smaller Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP (1 7/8 x 5 1/4- cut 2) and adhere together and then to the Basic Black card baseThe sentiment panel is stamped on Basic White with Cherry Cobbler ink using the Christmas Labels stamp set then die cut with the coordinating Christmas Lablels Dies. Only the left side of the label was attached to the left ‘gate’.
Here is the inside…
The inside… a panel of Basic White (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) with another fussy cut bird from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP attached with liquid glue. This panel was added to Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 1/4) then to the inside of the Basic Black card base. All opened out the card looks like this…
And the envelope I kept very simple… more of the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit, and a sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Christmas Labels stamp set.
These two bundles and the DSP may be found in the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2024 Catalog. The card stock & adhesive, scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder are in the Stampin’ Up! 2024 Annual Catalog.

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!
Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group! We have a theme challenge today – Halloween – and I have to say up front, I am not a Halloween kinda gal, so this was a bit of a struggle for me. But I have to say, I like my card and I had fun creating it. :O)
This card started with a Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I layered a Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP to the front cut at 4 x 5 1/4. The blues and purples create a spooky kind of look to me. Next I stamped a gorgeous moon from Under the Moon stamp set in Lemon Lolly ink. It was waaay too large for this card so I punched it with a 1 3/4″ circle punch, then trimmed it down again with the same punch to create this moon image. I set the moon aside while I die cut the trees from Basic Black using dies in the Frosted Forest Dies. They are gorgeous! I die cut three full images, then trimmed them down to get seven trees in all, layering as needed. I added these with liquid adhesive so that every branch wasn’t flat – a bit of dimension please. Once the trees were in place I adhered the moon. Bats are perfect in a Halloween picture, so I stamped the bird in Memento ink and colored it with a Basic Black Marker, die cut it with the Frosted Forest Dies and attached it – close enough for a bat, right?!
For the inside… On a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel I added more of the same image from the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP – 2 x 4 – and attached a remaining tree with liquid glue. I pulled out the Alphabet Dies and more Basic Black, die cut the letters BOO! and attached them at an angle. Yep – another bird was needed so I did the same as the bird image on front: stamped in Memento ink and colored with Basic Black Marker. Believe it or not, the bird is part of the Frosted Forest stamp set and has a coordinating die!
For the envelope I used more of the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP that coordinated with what I used on the card front, to adhere to the flap & trimmed to fit. I stamped three images of the bird on the envelope front.
To purchase the products to make this card, see below. When you’re ready be sure to visit the others participating in this Halloween card challenge by using the previous & next buttons – or click on a name instead.. Any way you do it… be sure you check out what folks have created.
Good Sunday morning. One of the Online Exclusive bundles/ Suites is the Season of Green & Gold Suite – perfect for Christmas/ holiday cards. I have used the papers in this suite to create a fun fold.
Can you see how it stands on it’s own? And it’s decorated on both sides of the card.
Here are the basics – just remember, any papers can be used to create this card and many different dies as well. I used the items from the Season of Green & Gold Suite: Season of Green SDSP, Graceful Greenery Vellum, Greetings of the Season Bundle and Golden Greenery Bundle. I also used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to create the circle on the card front with the Seasons of Green SDSP.
Card base and basics:
5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored on the long side at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 6 & 7 1/4
Designer Series Papers for the folds are all cut 1 x 5 1/4. Cut 8
Center panels are 3 1/2 x 5 1/4
For the die cuts on the card front, I used Very Vanilla, Distressed Gold SDSP and Graceful Greenery Vellum and the Golden Greenery Dies. For the sentiment panels on front and back I used the Greetings of the Season Bundle, Old Olive ink, Cherry Cobbler ink, more of the Distressed Gold SDSP, Very Vanilla and Season of Green and Gold SDSP. The embellishments are not from this suite, but are Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems. And the Linen Thread bow is a double bow adhered with a glue dot.
Here’s a top view of how the card looks:
And the card & envelope
For the envelope, more of the Season of Green & Gold SDSP on the flap trimmed to fit – and on the front, this beautiful pine bow frond stamped in Old Olive ink: the inner is full strength and the main is second generation stamped.
We have a fun fold challenge for this Tuesday team blog hop and I’m using several of the new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products from the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection. Let’s take a peek.
This card is called a Front Flap Fun Fold.n I did a bit of die cutting using the Golden Greenery Dies and Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (better known as SDSP) and the Graceful Greenery Vellum. The bells are die cut from the SDSP and the wonderful fronds from the vellum.
Card instructions:
Card base is Mossy Meadow 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Layer a panel of SDSP (here I used the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, plaid pattern), attaching with adhesive.
Cut a 3 x 8 1/2 Mossy Meadow piece and score at 4 1/4: attach to center of card, with fold at top of card base.
Cut 2 panels of Basic White 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 & decorate
Front panel of Basic White
I cut two Garden Green fronds and one Old Olive frond from the Graceful Greenery Vellum and adhered to one of the Basic White panels, centering them at top
I die cut the single bells from the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, adhered them together then added them over the fronds with dimensionals
I added a double Linen Thread bow to the top of the bells with a glue dot.
Stamp the sentiment and ampersand sign in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set (this also comes as a bundle – with dies – but I did not use those for this card)
Embellish with several Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems
Adhere this panel to the folded Mossy Meadow
Inside panel of Basic White
Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set
Stamp the fronds detail stamp in stamped off once Mossy Meadow ink
Stamp the fronds full stamp in stamped off twice Mossy Meadow ink
Add panel to inside of flap card panel – and done!
Now for the envelope… cover the flap in a piece of the Season of Green & Gold SDSP and trim to fit. On the envelope front, stamp a different detail front in stamped off once Old Olive ink. Stamp the full frond in stamped off twice Old Olive ink – and this card is ready for that Christmas card pile.

Hello folks. It’s really, really hot here in New Jersey. I’ve chosen a card today that will remind me of cooler weather (hope, hope). It’s the Changing Leaves bundle in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES of Stampin’ Up! I’ve used Granny Apple Green and a Blending Brush to create some variation to the card.
First thing I did was run a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock through the Changing Leaves Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder with the large die in place. This embosses the image & die cuts at the same time. After removing the die cuts, I trimmed along one side, creating a ‘edge’ of leaves that I cut with my paper snips. I used the Granny Apple Green ink and Blending Brush to add color to some of the edges of the leaves. I then turned it over and laid it on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4 and added color to the Basic White – both along the edge of the paper snip trimmed leaves and along the edges of the paper. I turned this back right side up, placed it again on the same Basic White panel and with a lighter touch of the Blending Brush, added more Granny Apple Green. This kind of color layering creates shadow-like effects that show depth.
Next step was to stamp the lovely leaf stamp in Granny Apple Green ink – first time full strength, then stamp again without re-inking, and do the same one more time.. That last one is really hard to see, but it’s in the upper right corner.
I added a strip of Brights 6×6 DSP in Granny Apple Green to the portion of the Granny Apple Green card stock that was not in the embossing folder,, put this whole piece on dimensionals and added it to the stamped and colored Basic White piece. This was added to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 12 scored at 4 1/4. Because I had in mind using this for a sympathy card, I pulled out Sketched Butterflies stamp set for the sentiment – Thinking of You – and stamped it in Memento Ink. I die cut this with the circle die from Changing Leaves Dies. I used Seal+ to adhere the ribbon on the back of the circle, then added dimensionals and attached it to the card front. The Ribbon is Black & Very Vanilla Ribbon. I toyed with adding embellishments but didn’t really like anything.
With the card front complete I cut a remainder strip of the embossed Granny Apple Green piece (from the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder) and added it to a 4 x 5n12 Basic White piece. I die cut another leaf in Basic White and adhered it with liquid glue. This leaf is a die cut from Changing Leaves Dies.
For the envelope… more Brights 6×6 DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit, and a stamped off once leaf for the card front – of course from the Changing Leaves stamp set and Granny Apple Green ink.
Please see below for all the items used to add to your cart for purchase from me.
