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…

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.

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.

Stampin' Up! Prairie Grass card & envelope

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)
  • Basic White 4 x 5 12/4 (front, 3 3/4 x 5 (inside), 2″ scrap for circle die cut

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.

Stampin’ Up! NEW Bauble Blooms with Regal Distressed Patterns

Posted on by
2

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.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms bundle

And here’s my first card made with this bundle.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms w/ Regal Distressed Patterns DSP card front

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.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms card inside

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.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP in Cherry Cobbler was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Diagonal DSP Just a Note

Posted on by
4

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.

Stampin' Up! 2025-2027 DSP Diagonal card front

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.

Stampin' Up! DSP Diagonal card inside

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

Stampin' Up! DSP Diagonal card & envelope

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.

See below for ways to purchase the products to make this card.

Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pear Fun fold

Posted on by
3

Whew – we are having a m-a-j-o-r heat wave here in NJ, USA. Thank goodness for air conditioning, which we did NOT have when I was growing up in Indiana. But then, the Internet nor cell phones were a thing then either. Sigh. I digress… my card today uses the stunning Painterly Pears 12×12 DSP (available Jul 1 in my online store) and a few other products. Let’s take a look –

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears fun fold card front

That fun hexagon uses the Meant to Bee Dies.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears fun fold card inside

Basic directions to make this fun fold.

  • Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 then the front section folded back on itself in half. NOTE: while you could score at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4, I prefer more precise edges (sometimes it’s off a smidge), and that’s why I simply fold it back on itself. Card base is Secret Sea.
  • Layered panels – card stock: 2 x 5 3/8 (cut 2) 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. I used Misty Moonlight.
  • DSP layers – 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (cut 2 in coordinating patterns), 2 1/4 x 5 1/4
  • Basic White layer – 2 1/4 x 5 1/4

For the sentiment panel, using the Meant to Be Dies, I die cut three hexagons: Secret Sea, Misty Moonlight and Painterly Pears DSP. What’s fun about these dies is they die cut not only the hexagon, but a fun edge and it’s that edge that I used for the Misty Moonlight piece. The pear is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist ink and the leaves in Old Olive – both using the Perfectly Pears stamp set. I die cut them with the Perfectly Pears Dies, attached dimentionals to the pear and added it to the hexagon, then added the stem /leaves with a bit of liquid glue and a dimensional behind the right leaf. The sweet ‘hello’ comes from the Perfectly Pears stamp set and it is stampedin Mossy Meadow ink and die cut with a die from the Perfectly Pears Dies. It was added with dimensionals behind on the right & a dab of glue on the left. I added three Low Profile Dots from the Painterly Pears Suite Collection, then attached the hexagon just to the left front panel.

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Pears fun fold card & envelope

For the envelope, more Painterly Pears 12×12 DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit. The pear is again stamped in Lemon Lime Twist ink and the leaf/stemn in Old Olive ink using appropriate stamps in the Perfectly Pears stamp set. What a friendly, fun looking card and perfect for several occasions. I love the versatility.

Below is a list of products that can be purchased now. Remember the Painterly Pears Suite Collection will be available Jul 1!

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Bokeh 6x6 Explosion card front
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Bokeh 6x6 Explosion card inside

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!
