Stampin’ Up! NEW Gathering Moments

Posted on by

Good Friday – my goodness August is flittering away – Monday is LABOR DAY! Today’s card is all about fall and it uses a September Release ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. The bundle is Gathering Moments.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments bundle
Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments card front

The card has a Basic Beige front from which I die cut the large leaf with Gathering Moments Dies. I wanted to use the Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP behind the die cut but on an angle. This meant an odd shape for cutting the DSP and it needed to be slightly smaller than the Basic Beige card front. Once I cut the DSP I added it to an Old Olive panel and that to the card base of Cajun Craze.

Stasmpin' Up! Gathering Moments die cut w/ dimensionals on back

I put dimensionals all over the back of the die cut panel and adhered it to the the card. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink using the Gathering Moments stamp set and die cut the basic White with Textured Notes Dies. I cut a piece of Old Olive for a backing, adhered the two together and added them directly to the card front. I tied a double bow with Natural Tones Linen Thread then added three Cajun Craze and Gold Dots.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments inside card

For the inside… I used the die cut that came out of the front die cut to stamp the sentiment from Gathering Moments in Cajun Craze ink. I added this to a Basic White panel then both to Old Olive then to the inside of the card base..

For the envelope, more of the Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP on the flap trimmed to fit, then a single leaf stamped on the front: Gathering Moments stamp set in Old Olive ink. Totally fall – good for a masculine card too!

Stampin’ Up! Brighten Your Day Kit

Posted on by
2

Our Internet is quite spotty & intermittent today so not sure if this will publish appropriately. I’ve been trying all morning.

This is such a beautiful kit and I had promised to share photos of my completed cards a few days ago. I had a difficult reaction to a vaccine that really set me back for two straight days. Thanks goodness that is behind me!

Each card in this kit has a laser-cut delicate design – so three designs for nine cards, make sense? I made one each of the ‘prescribed’ card designs and here they are

Stampin' Up! Brighten Ypour Day Kit original
Stampin' Up! Brighten Your Day, original in Fresh Freesia

These first three cards are the original ‘plan’ of the kit and they show Fresh Freesia, Basic Beige and Balmy Blue. These next two images are of the birds with a card base of Balmy Blue on the left and Lost Lagoon on the right, both using what had been the original base as part of a layer for the card front.

With the remaining cards bases, I trimmed each down to 41/8 x 5 3/8, thereby making a card front panel and an inside panel with each supplied card base. Here are my completed cards – nothing fancy or over the top done, just incorporated an additional card base.

Below left has a card base of Balmy Blue with the original card base as a layer for the laser-cut image. Below right uses Lost Lagoon as the card base

These two cards show card bases in Highland Heather for the left card and Fresh freesia for the right card, again using the original card base as a front layer.

I took a LOT more pictures but they just didn’t turn out that well so I have not included them – bummer!

OK – so this is one of the fabulous kits Stampin’ Up! is offering. There is always something going on… remember there are changes coming to the packaging for both photopolymer stamps and dies. Also, rubber stamps are being discontinued. Both of these will take effect at the end of each catalog. What that means is at the end of both the Sep-Dec 2025 catalog and the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, no more rubber stamps. For full disclosure, check this post. It will give you measurements of the new packaging and you’ll see a glimpse of a new bundle available in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES for November. There is also a video you can access.

Other items of interest… the In Color Sale ends Aug 31 and here it is the 22nd. Click the link in the image below to shop those products!

Stampin’ Up! NEWS FLASH!

Posted on by
4

Stampin’ Up! is making some changes and they are coming SOON! I don’t want you to be left out or too surprised – so here’s the scoop…

Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)

Stampin’ Up! has decided to discontinue their cling stamp line due to challenges in sourcing the necessary raw materials. While they currently have access to enough raw materials to continue production for the time being, the supply has become increasingly inconsistent, and certain key raw materials are no longer being manufactured. They’re choosing to make this change now to ensure a smoother, more strategic transition—with minimal disruption. They will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.

Here are some specifics about the transition from cling stamps to photopolymer:

Stampin' Up! C ling Stamp info

Stampin’ Write Markers – Discontinuing and Available While Supplies Last Starting Tomorrow, 20 Aug 2025!

Stampin’ Up! has also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, they’ve seen a steady decline in sales of Stampin’ Write Markers. One of the primary techniques unique to Stampin’ Write Markers is coloring directly on cling stamps—a technique that will become less relevant as we transition away from cling stamps.

Here are a few details about the Stampin’ Write Markers:

Stampin' Up! Marker info

New And Improved Stamp And Die Packaging

As part of Stampin’ Up!’s transition away from cling stamps, Stampin’ Up! is excited to introduce updated packaging for stamps and dies! Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, they’re able to offer sleeker, slimmer packaging that saves space. Both stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easier than ever to store bundles and coordinating products together (WooHoo!). The new packaging is similar to their current die packaging—durable, clear plastic envelopes—but with an exciting improvement: Die packaging will now feature printed artwork for quick and easy identification! Stamp packaging will continue to display artwork as well.

Stampin' Up! Packaging info

Packaging Details

– New packaging measures 5-5/8″ x 9″ (14.3 x 22.9 cm).
– Stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easy to store bundles and coordinating products together.
– Packaging is clear with an insert that displays stamp or die artwork for quick and easy identification—yes, both stamp and die packaging will now show artwork!
– Larger packaging dimensions allow us to showcase more stamp artwork at 100% on the insert.
– Sleek, slim design will help you and your customers store more in less space.
– Envelope closure includes a tuck-in flap for quick and easy opening and closing.
– Packaging is sized to fit a variety of organization systems.

Here are a few photos of the new packaging AND a Nov. Online Exclusive.

Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears plus Branching Out Dies

Posted on by
6

Good Sunday morning! I’ve a sweet Perfectly Pears card for you today and I paired it with a new die set from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog called Branching Out Dies. It has a stamp set as well, but I’m not using that today.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears card front

This new die is shown here in the Basic Beige – as a background for the pears. The leaves of thew pears cover the top of the die cut, but it’s the same as the bottom. There are at least 6 of these layering dies in the set, plus some other fun dies as well. It’s wonderful. How to make this card…

The card base is Mossy Meadow with a layer of Darling Duckling then a layer of Painterly Pears DSP. Next I die cut the Basic Beige with the Branching Out dies and added it. With another piece of the Painterly Pears DSP and the Perfectly Pears Dies, I die cut the two pears and the stem/ leaves. Using another die in the Perfectly Pears Dies and Lemon Lime Twist, I die cut the open weave image. I adhered the stem/ leaves to each pear, then attached them to the card front: the darker pear is adhered directly and the lighter pear is on dimensionals. I slipped the open weave die cut under the pears and attached with dabs of liquid glue. The leaves of the darker pear do have dimensionals. Once everything was innplace, I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink. It comes from the Perfectly Pears stamp set. Final touch – three Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Old Olive and a double Linen Thread bow added with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears inside card

For the inside…on a panel of Basic White… the pear comes from the Perfectly Pears stamp set… inked first in Darling Duckling then Lemon Lime Twist added with a sponge dauber and stamped on the panel. The stem’ leaves are also from this stamp set and are inked with Old Olive and Early Espresso Markers. This was attached to aDarling Duckling panel then added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pearas card & envelope

For the envelope… The same Painterly Pears DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The pear was stamped using the same method as above – using the Perfectly Pears stamps, Darling Duckling and Lemon Lime Twist inks for the pear and Old Olive and Early Espresso markers for the stem’ leaves. This is such a fabulous suite of products!

OK – more Stampin’ Up! info… The 2025-2027 In Color Sale is still on until the end of August. Click the image below to view this product sale.

Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Embossing Folder – Off-set Gatefold Sympathy Card

Posted on by
6

Good morning – it’s Friday and I have two cards for you this morning using the debossed side of paper run through this fabulous Sunflower 3D embossing folder. And, it’s an off-set gatefold card. In a traditional gatefold card, both closing sides are the same width; this off-set means one side (the right side in this case) is more narrow. Let’s take a peek…

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D offset gatefold card front
Stampin' Up! Offset gatefold Sunflower 3D card front

The card on the left is made with a Bubble Bath card base, embossed Basic White card stock, and Bubble Bath ink. The card on the right is made with Fresh Freesia card stock and a layer of embossed Fresh Freesia sprinkled with WOW! Metallic Embossing Powder in silver and heat set with the heat tool. It gives this card a real element of elegance. The sentiment on each card is from the Everday Greetings stamp set die cut with the Tailor Made Tags Dies. White Basic Twine was run through the hole in the tag and tied into a bow. The tag was adhered with dimensionals to the larger side of the card front.

For the inside of the card… I had started with a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel to emboss with the Sunflower Embossing folder. After inking the debossed side, I trimmed it down and there was a narrow remaining piece – which I adhered to the Basic White insert. I also stamped the sentiment: Bubble Bath for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second. These were adherred and the cards were complete.

Stampin' Up! Sunfloer 3D Sympathy card & envelope in Fresh Freesia

For the envelope… I took another strip of Basic White, ran it through the Sunflower 3D embossing folder, inked the debossed side: again, Bubble Bath ink for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second card. For the second card I again sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic embossing powder in silver and heat set it. Each was adhered to a Basic White envelope and trimmed to fit. Card cuts are listed below.

Just a word about inking an embossed panel… if you saw yesterday’s post, it indicated a 45 degree angle when running the ink pad along the embossed piece. For these cards, the angle was more like a 20 degree angle and I liked it much better. Practice, right?!

Card cuts:

  • Card bass 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on long side @ 1 1/4 & 5 1/2
  • Embossed layer 4 x 5 1/4 trimmed to 2 7/8 x 5 14, 1 x 5 1/4, remainder used for inside
  • Basic White for inside 4 x 5 1/4
  • Envelope flap 2 1/4 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit

Stampin’ Up! Side Flap Tuck Fun Fold

Posted on by
3

Hello crafters! I’ve a new fun fold for you today that I found on the Internet and had to give it a try. It has different names but this is what I’m calling it. 😀

Stampin' Up! Side Flap Tuck fun fold card front

I used Balmy Blue for my card base, embossing one of the pieces and another for the tucked in flap. The Berry Burst color comes from the Celebration Express Memories & More Pack and the sentiment from Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack. The stamped flower, stem &N leaves is from the Impressions Abloom stamp set, And the embossing is Glass Garden Embossing Folder (this contains two embossing folders!) The stamped flower is fist stamped off Balmy Blue ink, then the second step is full strength Balmy Blue. The flower center is Lemon Lolly – again a two-step stamp using the same stamped-off procedure as for the flower. The stem & leaf are Soft Sea Foam, following the same two-step for the leaf. Additional pieces were used from the Celebration Expressions Memories & More Card Pack for the strip on the inside of the card, the strip on the inside of the flap and the envelope flap. Card cuts will be listed below.

Stampin' Up! Side Flap Tuck card & envelope

Step by step…

  • Balmy Blue card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4. Remove 2 1/8 x 5 1/2 from front and trim down to 1 3/4 x 5 1/8 (emboss this panel)
  • Add lBerry burst layer to embossed panel 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 – set aside
  • Cut another panel of Balmy Blue 1 1/4 x 3 1/4 and score on long side at 1/2 (this panel can be wider, depending on how you plan your inside, but the 1/2 score remains the same. Burnish.
  • Add this to the card base approximately 5/8″ from bottom of card back with the fold even with edge (again, depending on the plan for the inside of the card, this placement can be higher but should not be lower)
  • Add Berry Burst layer to inside of card base 4 x 5 1/4
  • Add decorative layer to back side of flap 1 1/2 x 2 3/4 (remember that if the flap is wider, this layer should also be 1/4″ wider)
  • Add Basic White panel for stamping 3 3/4 x 5
  • On this card I added a decorative strip behind the flap approximately 5/8 x 4
  • Stamp the inside: Here I used the Impressions Abloom stamp set
  • Add embossed + layer to left side of front panel with dimensionals… placement is important in order to tuck the flap in between dimensionals: dimensionals should be near bottom of panels to be attached, at top & at least 1/2″ from where flap tucks in.
  • Tuck in flap & add sentiment to tucked in flap. This sentiment is on dimensionals and is from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack.
Stampin' Up! Side Tuck Flap Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope… Using the Celebration Expressions Memories & More Card Pack, I chose a coordinating piece to add to the envelope flap & trimmed it to fit. Done.. and ready to send to someone special. This card is going to a fellow teammate who needs a pick me up :O) I’m hoping she will love it.

Thanks so much for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!

Stampin’ Up! Prairie Grass & Blending Brushes

Posted on by
1

Hello Monday! It’s hot here again in NJ – up to 93 today with very high humidity – not a day for being outside much. Guess I’ll just have to play in my stamp room – after doing chores of course 😀

Stampin' Up! Prairie Grass card front

Prairie Grass is a fairly new stamp set for me and I am loving the grasses and the fonts for the sentiments. It’s an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE stamp set. I got out my Blending Brushes and a couple of inks and went to work… Misty Moonlight and a hint of Secret Sea for the sky then Lemon Lime Twist for the lower portion. I stamped the grasses in Secret Sea. I used my color wheel to bring in a contrasting color – Melon Mambo ink for the sentiment – and yes, it comes from the Prairie Grass stamp set. I die cut it with Spotlight On Nature Dies, put it on dimensionals and added it to the card front. I used the Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Secret Sea for a bit of glam. These come from the Perfectly Pear suite of products. This front panel was added to Melon Mambo then adhered to the Secret Sea card base.

Stampin' Up! Prairie Grass card inside

For the inside… I again used the Lemon Lime Twist and a Blending Brush to add color to the bottom of the Basic White. I then stamped one of the grasses in Secret Sea ink. I adhered two triangles in corners for a background border, bringing in the color from the front of the card. I gives a very modern look.

For the envelope… I again added Lemon Lime Twist with my Blending Brush to the front, then stamped full strength the tallest grass, then stamped twice more without reinking – with Secret Sea ink. On the flap I added Misty Moonlight and a bit of Secret Sea with a Blending Brush.

See how to order these products below.

Cards cuts are as follows:

  • Card base – Secret Sea 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
  • Layer Melon Mambo 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 (front), 2 x 2 cut on diagonal (inside)

Stampin’ Up! Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin Alternates 2, 3

Posted on by
6

Hello stampin’ friends – today is Saturday and I am again sharing Paper Pumpkin alternatives with you. And I guess one of the things I want you to consider is that these projects/ alternatives can be applied to other Stampin’ Up products – NOT JUST Paper Pumpkin!

Stampin' Up! July 2025 PP Alternative 2
Stampin' Up! July PP Alt 2, inside

This card uses one of the card bases in the kit & is very similar to what the kit suggests. I used Strawberry Slush ink for the sentiment and added Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems on the card front. On the inside, I stamped the strawberries in Poppy Parade (a coordinating color recommended by the kit) and Granny Apple Green ink for the top on a Basic White panel and adhered it to Strawberry Slush.

Stampin' Up! July 2025 PP Alternate 3
Stampin' Up! July 2025

This card uses an original card base & another which I cut up and is a fun fold. It’s a tucked in offset gatefold. The additional supplies for this card are the red & White Bakers Twine, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight inks. In addition, I used more of the strawberry card front to cover the flap of a medium envelope. And look at the last photo to see how the offset gatefold tucks in.

Good morning! Paper Pumpkin is a monthly box of refreshing goodies, mostly to make cards but sometimes to make gift bags or boxes. Today I am using the Sweeter Than You July PP and creating a fun fold. Here is what comes in your kit for July 2025

Stampin' Up! July 2025 Paper Pumpkin

– Colors: Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger

Refill includes one of each item listed below.

Stampin' Up! July PP 2025 Fun Fold Alternate
Stampin' Up! July 2025 PP Alternate card inside

I used the card base differently, scoring it at 2 3/4 & 5 1/2 and folding it as shown. I added a Basic White panel behind the vellum & added a Twine double bow, Wink of Stella to flower centers. On the inside, I cut a Garden Green then stamped a Basic White using stamps from the stamp set, Garden Green ink (supplied in the kit) and Daffodil Delight ink from my own stash for the stamped flowers. Everything else is part of the kit.
