Good Friday morning! It’s 18 degrees this morning but nice & brightly sunny 😀 My inspiration came from one of my card class students who passed along info about making this cute fun fold. That led me to watch a video by Rachel Tessman. Let’s look at my creation.
This begins with a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 and adhering a strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 to the center of the panel. Now cut two more strips from the same pattern 1 3/4 x 5 1/4. Adhere those strips in this fashion: the left strip – add adhesive only to the left edge & attach; the right strip – add adhesive to the right edge and attach.
Folding: fold back the top right side of the left strip to approximately the center of the card, but the fold should not allow any of the Basic White to show. Turn the card upside down and do the same for that same panel to create the bottom fold. Now, do the same for the right strip; fold back the top left side of the right strip just to the edge of the center strip pattern to a center point. Turn the card upside down again and do the same on the bottom right side. Burnish those folded back sections.
TIP: this folding back does not necessarily have to be to the center; it could be more toward the top or toward the bottom, but both sides do need to be uniform – to the same point.
Create the center pieces to cover where the papers come together. I pulled out my Beautifully Celebrated Dies, Fresh Freesia card stock and Basic White, die cut the two pieces and adhered them together. ( I used the smallest & next size up). I then stamped this sweet leaf image in Old Olive ink from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set and colored it with Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. I die cut it with coordinating dies (Beautifully Celebrated) and set it aside. I used the Simply Beautiful stamp set and Old Olive ink for the sentiment and fussy cut it, adhered the leaf to the back of the sentiment then attached the sentiment with mini dimentionals to the two die cut banners. W ith the Simply Beautiful stamp set, I stamped the small flower in VersaMark ink (twice) on a Basic White piece, sprinkled those with WOW? Metallic Gold embossing Powder & heat set them. I colored both with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends for the flowers and Daffodil Delight for the center of the flowers. I die cut these with the coordinating die from Simply Beautiful Dies and adhered them to the same banner: one adhered directly to the and one on dimensionals (yes, it slightly covers some of the sentiment) I attached the banners to the front of the card with dimensionals and added three Pearlized Faceted Circles.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the same small flower from Simply Beautiful stamp set in VersaMark ink on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set it. Again I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Fresh Freesia and Daffodil Delight. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink on a nother piece of Basic White and die cut it with Words of Beauty Dies. I adhered this just beneath the flower – and finis! This could easily be a sympathy card or get well card or simply ‘hello friend’ kind of card. But I love the simplicity of the fun fold and the extra charm it creates. Hope you like!

Good, good morning. It was rainy here Saturday and I was able to play in my craft room. I had such fun playing with a new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product released Jan 6. It’s called Covered in Flowers Accents. They are a laser cut sheet of flowers and leaves, cut from something other than paper, yet very thin and not as fragile as paper. They are stunningly gorgeous. Here are my four cards.
You can see that I stuck with a certain color theme for all four cards, Timid Tiger and Cloud Cover. I used the same embellishments on each card, varying the color per the need: 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls, again in Timid tiger and Cloud Cover. On the first card I used Secret Sea. On the very last card I chose to use a Blending Brush to color the floral accent: Timid Tiger & Pumpkin Pie, the Granny Apple Green & Garden Green.
The sentiments on the card fronts : card 1 is from Fragrant Flowers stamp set, stamped in Secret Sea & punched out with the Three Banner Punch; card 3 sentiment is from Prayers & Promises stamped in Cloud Cover & die cut with Beautifully Celebrated Dies the inked the edges with Cloud Cover; card 4 front sentiment is from Banner Sayings stamp set in Cloud Cover ink and punched with the coordinating Three Banner Punch.
And here are each of the cards on the inside.
On each of the cards inside, I used a Blending Brush prior to stamping the sentiment. On the first card I used the punched out ‘frame’ as the template from the flower on the front and stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink using the Fragrant Layers stamp set. For the remaining three cards I stamped in Cloud Cover ink using various sentiments from Prayers & Promises stamp set.
Other products used to make these cards: Stripes Embossing Folder on card 1 and the Stone & Vine Embossing Folder on card 2. On card 3 I added Nature Walk 12×12 DSP to the full card front. All the cards use 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP: card 1 – (3) panels cut 1 x 3 & layered to Timid Tiger 3 1/8 x 3 1/4; card 2 – 1 x 3 & 2 x 3 layered on Timid Tiger1 3/8 x 4 32/8 & 2 3/8 x 3 3/8; card 3 – 1 x 4 & 1/2 x 4; card 4 – 1/2 x 4 & 1 1/4 x 4. Each of the Basic White layers are 3 3/4 x 5. On card 4 there is an additional layer 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. Card bases are either 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 or 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, making all card fronts 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. The inside layer is Basic White 4 x 5 1/4.
And here are the coordinating envelopes with the cards.

I posted a card last week that was made in this same way. Todays card is simply black & white with the beautiful Botanical Textures DSP (on the last chance list so ON SALE!) I used a new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE embossing folder – Beautiful Pattern and really like the design it creates.
You will notice I offset the pleated panel and tied the bow on the side. This has a totally different look. Here is the link to the card with this same pleat or accordion type fold.
More photos… card open to the left so all layers show, then card open to right where only the second panel is decorated. You could, of course, decorate the other panels, but they would not show when the card is closed or open.
Notice the DSP is cut so each design matches the next, starting with the left far panel to even the small strip on right. These were purposely cut sequentially so the pattern would ‘flow.’
Want to make this card – see card cuts below. And links are also listed to place your order to pick up these products: Botanical Textures DSP, Beautiful Pattern embossing folder, The Right Words stamp set, Traditional Labels Dies, Neutral Matte Dots & Faux Linen Ribbon in Cloud Cover + Basic Black and Basic White card stock.

We have a perfect challenge to get us excited about Christmas! Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop 😀 I’m using the Bauble Blooms bundle to create this fun fold today.
I’m using a couple of different coordinating Designer Series papers for my card today: the bauble is die cut from Need for Tweed 12 x 12, the front layer on the flap & the card front is Traditions of Christmas. I love how they work together, brining together both gold & rustic patterns. Now let’s open & see the flap open then the entire card.
Above you can see all the various papers used to create a really eye-catching card. And, it really is not terribly bulky. Using Designer Series Papers that are lighter weight for layers help keep the card light for traditional postage. Let’s do a quick step by step…
Directions:
Die cut the bauble with the Bauble Blooms Dies from both DSP & Old Olive card stock – this creates strength to put on dimensionals. If you so desire, you can adhere the two panels together, then die cut – it works well!
Cut layers for card base: Cherry cobbler 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4; flap is 3 5/8 x 3 5/8 scored on one side at 1/2″: add to card base centering top to bottom with score line at edge. You must make certain you can close the flap over the closedc card. If necessary you can trim 1/16 from card front.
Decorate as shown: layers are 3 x 3 1/2 for flap front & inside flap; card front layers are 2 tone card stock 4 x 5 1/4, DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
Inside layers are: front inside left – DSP 4 x 5 1/4; stamped section – 4 x 5 1/4
Additional decorations were die cut from: Peaceful Gardens Glimmer Paper & Need for Tweed, plus Old Olive card stock & gold foil
Embellishments are Traditional Sparkling Sequins

It’s cool again today – 40 degrees… I’m definitely going to wear a heavier jacket when I walk tomorrow! Brushed with Beauty dSP is a new release item come Nov 4 as part of an ONLINE EXCLUSivE suite of products. The paper is gorgeous and I can’t quit using it. When I showed this card to my hubby he immediately said it looked like a windowpane – so I’m coining that word for making this kind of layout. 😁
What is great about this layout is how versatile it is with so many of our Stampin’ Up! papers. And here’s how to do it…
DIRECTIONS FOR WINDOWPANE CARD
cut card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & score @ 4 1/4 (Mossy Meadow
Cut another piece of card stock (same color) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 & run it through the Gathering Leaves embossing folder. Adhere this to the card front
Cut DSP (Brushed with Beauty) 2 3/4 x 4 then cut that with short edge at top:
1 3/4 x 1 1/2 & 1 x 2 1/2 (that leaves a piece 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 & 1 x 1 1/2)
Adhere these to a card panel 3 x 4 1/4 with even separation (Early Espresso)
Adhere this to a card panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 (Very Vanilla)
Add these to the card baser with dimensionals
Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso ink using the Just A Note stamp set
Make a double Linen Thread bow; add to card front with a glue dot
Add sentiment with dimensionals over the bow
For the inside… I cut a piece of this stunning Brushed with Beauty DSP 1/2 x 3 3/4 and adhered it to the bottom of a Vary Vanilla panel 3 3/4 x 5, then added this to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… another piece of this beautiful Brushed with Beauty DSP in a coordinating pattern – 2 14 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit. Bam – done!

Good Tuesday morning. Do you participate in the Paper Pumpkin program – getting this fun box each month to create what’s inside? I do, and sometimes I make alternatives and sometimes I don’t. This months October Cozy Christmas is one of those I didn’t do alternatives, but I did dress up the envelopes and the inside of each card.
For this card… on the envelope – as you can see – I stamped this tree image from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set. Just as an FYI, this also comes with dies. For the inside, I layered a piece of Basic Beige, then added a stamped layer of Basic White. The stamp used is the same as the envelope – Ornamental Christmas.
For the 2nd set of cards in the October Paper Pumpkin, I stamped the envelopes with another of the stamps in Ornamental Christmas stamp set.
For the inside of the cards… in my box was an extra green card base so I used that for the background on two cards then a strip for the third card. For an inside sentiment I used the Christmas Word Collage in Basic White. I highlighted each with Garden Green ink and a Blending Brush. Here they are.
Joy to the World is the theme for the third set of cards in this October Paper Pumpkin Cozy Christmas box.
The same sentiment is stamped on all three of these envelopes and it comes from the stamp set Ornamental Christmas using Garden Green ink. On the inside I used sentiments from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack on a Basic White panel that had been adhered to a Crumb Cake piece slightly larger.
Such a wonderful set of Christmas cards and all ready to be mailed – all from Paper Pumpkin! If you would like to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, please do that here.

Good Morning Monday! Whew – the start of another week in October… Where has the month gone? For me, it has flown by – how about for you? I have a pretty set of cards for you today, all the same layout, same dies, same ribbon, same embellishments, just different colors in the Season of Elegance SDSP. I simply couldn’t quit making these. I was inspired by another demonstrator, Julie Gilson.
Card 1 is in Pretty Peacock. Card 2 is in Basic Beige. Card 3 is in Cherry Cobbler. All three use the same Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and similar layers.
Card 4 uses a brand new Beautiful Pattern embossing folder, coming in the November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE release – available Nov 4. It also has similar layers and comes in Mossy Meadow.
For sentiments on the card fronts I used the Christmas Words Collage bundle die cut from Gold Foil and also Basic White (for the word peace). This set embosses the words & die cuts at the same time, so it’s quite easy to have a bunch words at the ready 😀
Here are the insides of each of those cards – a simple strip of the Season of Elegance DSP added to the bottom of the inside panel.
And below… the envelopes for these beautiful cards – more of the same Season of Elegance SDSP adhered & trimmed to fit the flap. Simple, elegant finish to these stunning cards.
You will notice some of these are on card bases 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 while others are on card bases of 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. It honestly didn’t matter either way, so if I had that already cut, that’s what I used. Super fun cards to make multiples of while also making them unique in color & words.

Good morning – it’s Saturday & cool in this part of New Jersey – 40 degrees! Blanket time and possibly time to bring in firewood for a fire tonight. We’ll see. I have two cards for you today, using products from the November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE release. As a Demonstrator, I am privileged to be able to preorder products before they become available to the public. This is a beautiful suite of two bundles, DSP & Vellum, embellishments and an embossing folder. For today’s cards I did not use the embossing folder. I have two cards to share; one in landscape & one in portrait.
Aren’t these papers stunning – Brushed with Beauty DSP. Love, love. On the landscape card are die cuts in vellum, using the Petals of Beauty Dies. The sentiment & banner die cut use items from the two bundles: Petals of Beauty and Words of Beauty. The bow is Old Olive Linen Thread – a September ONLINE EXCLUSIVE that comes in a two pack – Early Espresso is the other color of Linen Thread in the duo pack. The portrait card again shows die cuts, this time in card stock. I love this flower with the delicate edge! I stamped the flower image twice in Basic Beige ink, layered them then added the delicate die cut in Basic White. A single Pearls of Beauty embellishment is in the flower center. The ribbon is Braided Trim from the Floral Charm Suite (July ONLINE EXCLUSIVES) And here’s the inside of each.
In the landscape card above I added a Branching Out die cut, the smallest, and no stamping. (It is available in the September to December 2025 Mini Catalog) The inside looks a bit plain, so I’m going to add something for sure. On the portrait card, I stamped the two step floral image on Basic White, using Petal Pink & Calypso Coral inks, then die cut it with the Petals of Beauty Dies. This comes from the Petals of Beauty stamp set & coordinating dies in the suite of products. The leaf image is die cut from Mossy Meadow. I did add the Pearls of Beauty embellishment to the flower center. It’s fairly flat & doesn’t add a lot of bulk. The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink & comes from Words of Beauty stamp set – part of the suite of products. Below is a top down view of each of the cards.
