This card was so fun to make (and was sent to one of my daughters already)! It's another tri-panel interlocking card (like the one I made for my nephew HERE).
Here is the bonus side-stair card that I made for our other daughter. I added a little Cricut spider and wrote her message on the back.
Hope you have a SPOOK-tacular Halloween!
Each Thursday at 7:30 PM, I go live on my Inky Scrapper Facebook page, and this is the card I made last Thursday. My customers and team members get written instructions to create my live projects.
I use the new Branching Out bundle, 3-D Birch embossing folder, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Shaded Spruce, and Very Vanilla card stock plus the coordinating inks.
Join me live tonight at 7:30 (or on replay)!
Continuing the Autumn Toile theme, for this card, I challenged myself to design a fall card with the Notes & Totes bundle. I like how it turned out (although some of the ladies thought that it was challenging to make).
We used different combos of DSP to create our backgrounds and our totes. Who needs some warm wishes sent to them?
(I'm already planning ahead for a holiday card with this set! You're invited to my next card class on 11/9! Let me know if you can attend.)
It's important for me to teach a new technique or fancy fold (or something!) to my lovely ladies, so we used blending brushes with Pumpkin Pie and Mossy Meadow ink to color the little leaves.
Again, we used Autumn Toile DSP and Autumn Metallics, plus the pretty gold ribbon.
Don't forget to decorate the insides of your cards!
By the way, I have two in-person card classes on 11/8 (Calm & Bright kit together) and 11/9 (Branching Out) so let me know if you'd like to attend (or order a virtual kit).
The first three cards of my October class used the handsome Autumn Toile DSP. I paired it with the stamp set from September's Paper Pumpkin kit, Fall for Toile, which coordinated perfectly!
The Very Vanilla label and Autumn Metallics foliage dies are from the Peaceful Garden suite. We colored the acorns with colored pencils to match the paper.
This panel was one sheet of DSP cut in half to use both sides.
(You're invited to my next card class on 11/9! Let me know if you can attend.)
My firstborn nephew turned 19 last weekend, and I made this fun interlocking panel birthday card for him with the Autumn Toile DSP.
It was also the model for a Halloween card we made at my October card class, so my customers will receive printed instructions to make this card.
I think it turned out beautifully!
Happy birthday, Alex!
This simple card uses Peaceful Garden DSP & fern die cut and sentiment stamp from the Beautiful Motifs bundle in Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.
Stampin’ Up! creates such pretty DSP (designer series paper) that it’s quick & easy to create a beautiful card. This is one piece of dove DSP from the Peaceful Garden DSP and three cuts to create the different rectangles. Because the DSP is two-sided, you could also flip two of the rectangles over for a different look.
I made this card on one of my Facebook Thursday night lives (HERE at 7:30 each Thursday).
Here is another set of one-sheet-wonder cards that I made using the same template as before (see those cards HERE) but with a definite Christmas twist this time.
I used a sheet of (retired) Reindeer Fun DSP paired with Early Espresso, Real Red, and Garden Green card bases. I added in a few pieces other DSP from the same collection and a tree from the leftover die cuts. I used a retired Paper Pumpkin stamp set for my sentiments and some red pearl embellishments from my stash. These came together quickly and easily.
Again, if you're a customer of mine and would like the template, just let me know (or become a new customer and let me know)!
One thing I often hear customer say is that they are not creative. (That's one of the reasons I fell in love with stamping!) When I am not feeling creative, I love to browse my idea books or Stampin’ Up!’s Instagram or Facebook. When I find something I like, I CASE it (copy and share exactly) only with my own twist. This card was inspired by one of our Artisan Design Team members.
I made this card on one of my Facebook Thursday night lives (HERE at 7:30 each Thursday).
I used Autumn Metallics specialty DSP with the Peaceful Garden embossing folder; Autumn Toile DSP; Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, & Pecan Pie cardstock; Cajun Craze ink; and Streaked Dots.
Here are the six cards that I made with the Stampin' Up! Craft Along One Sheet Wonder (see p. 42 of the September-December Mini Catalog) for my World Card Making Day Open Studio Crop. I used a sheet of Peaceful Garden DSP; Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, and Basic White cardstock; a piece of Secret Sea glimmer pair; paired with Secret Sea & Cloud Cover ink and Hues of Blues embellishments. I used my Beautiful Motifs bundle (stamp set & dies).
Card #1's technique was adding ink blending, so I chose to try adding Petal Pink and a scrap of Petal Pink cardstock.
This card uses the Beautiful Motif dies and fussy cutting from the Peaceful Garden DSP.
I used both Cloud Clover cardstock and Secret Sea glimmer paper for the pretty fern accents.
Both the previous and this card use both sides of this pretty DSP.
I stamped the background of my card base with Cloud Cover ink. I also ink distressed the edges of the focal panel with Secret Sea ink.
Customers of mine can request this one-sheet-wonder template if you don't have it already!
One of the Artisan Design Team members inspired this card! (The Artisan Design Team is a group of selected demonstrators who create for Stampin' Up!'s socials and to inspire everyone.)
I used the Peaceful Garden bundle (stamp set and dies) plus the 3D Birch embossing folder. Inks are Secret Sea and Cloud Cover (blended on the circle die). What do you think of the Secret Sea glimmer paper dove?
This card uses the Peaceful Garden DSP and bundle (stamp set and dies) plus the Peaceful Garden glimmer paper.
I thought that I would add the die cut dove to the front of the card, but it just seemed to overpower the card. To help it pop on the inside, I blended some Cloud Cover ink like I did on the front sentiment label.
Did you know that I host a live video on my Inky Scrapper Facebook page each Thursday evening at 7:30? Recently, I made this card using the Autumn Toile DSP and the September Paper Pumpkin stamp set. (Learn more about Paper Pumpkin subscription box HERE!)
I will be featuring these products in my October card and scrapbook class on 10/19. If you can't attend in person, you can request a kit. Email me for more info!
Happy World Card Making Day!!! This card is very similar to the sympathy card I recently shared, but this time I used a piece of the gorgeous Beautiful Gallery 6"x6" DSP as my focal panel. For the flap, I added two Everyday Arches dies (Secret Sea and Basic White). The sentiment is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (part of the Beautiful Gallery suite).
I may stamp the inside when I decide who will be getting this card. Who would you send it to?
We moved our girls to two different new apartments two weekends in a row, and I am so please to have their new places immortalized in scrapbook layouts!
I used the Make a Memory scrapbook kit and have instructions to make elevated layouts. This guide is free to anyone who purchases this kit as part of a minimum $75 order with me!
Here's another fun birthday card I made and sent to someone recently. I used scraps from the now retired Wildflower Birthdays collection to make a double easel card.
I stamped the sentiment from the With You in Mind stamp set in Soft Sea Foam and Pool Party, then fussy cut around the edges.
This card uses the Floral Impressions DSP and bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies) with Strawberry Slush, Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Darling Duckling, and Old Olive.
Be sure to decorate the inside of your card and the outside of your envelope! I added Pecan Pie for the flower centers.
The Happy sentiment is from the Layered Thoughts stamp set, and the birthday letters were die cut with the Alphabet a la Mode dies.
Earlier this month I was able to complete my August highlights scrapbook layout thanks to the amazing virtual Month-by-Month Album Retreat (still available, while supplies last HERE, with an invite to a private Facebook page with teaching videos).
It was fun blending ink on the rays to make them pop!
The clouds and some of the circle accents also got a little blending love.
The right page uses flip flaps to add more photos to tell our story. It was a big month for us! Can you see how the thread connects the photos to the journaling?
Anyone who purchase the Month-by-Month album retreat from me at full price will receive a $43 gift of Stampin' Rewards to be able to purchase an album (or whatever else you'd like).
Though I often make cards specifically for the recipient, I also try to have a few birthday, thinking of you, and sympathy cards on hand. I used Peaceful Garden suite for this card.
This card has a flap on the front that was cut from the front of the card.
Don't forget to decorate the inside of your cards!
This card is the first card of four that my lovely ladies and I made at my September monthly card class. (Please reach out if you'd like to know more! I teach monthly card and scrapbooking classes in my home with kit options available if you're not local or can't attend in person. I also offer class instructions PDFs for a small fee.)
This card features the gorgeous Earthen Toned Metallics 12"x12" Specialty Paper dry embossed with the Peaceful Greenery 3-D embossing folder. (Don't you love how a Christmas-themed suite can also be used for fall?) I stamped the sentiment from the With You in Mind stamp set with Pecan Pie ink on the Very Vanilla die cut label. I cut the Pecan Pie sprig from the coordinating Peaceful Garden dies and the Crushed Curry sprig from the (retired) Perennial Lavender dies. I stamped the leaves from past Paper Pumpkin kits in Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow then fussy cut. I finished with Streaked Dots and some linen thread.
Don’t you love the shine of the Earth and tone metallic specialty paper?
Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Stampin' Up! September Blog Hop! I'm excited to be part of this group! If you're already hopping, then you've probably arrived from Michelle's blog.

This month we are highlighting a favorite product of mine, flip flaps!
On the left page, I used a 4x6 flip flap to reveal a smaller photo and hidden journaling. (The large journaling box actually has a lot of journaling, including our daughter's new address that I didn't want to share publicly.)
