Leaves of Holly Triple Fun Fold Card

At Backstage, Stampin’ Up!’s Leadership Conference, I received a swapped card made with this triple Fun Fold technique. It’s easy to do – but you do have to pay attention, as I’ve assembled it backwards more than once.

  • Stamps: Leaves of Holly
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Soft Succulent, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Holly Berry Dies, Boughs of Holly DSP, Gold 3/8″ Shimmer ribbon, Red Foil (retired, but Festive Foils is an alternative), Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Trimmer

This card does get a little thick, so you might need an additional postage stamp to mail it. However, it does have space behind the panels for stamped or handwritten messages or a photo, so you can really customize it to suit your purposes.

Here’s a FILE that will help you cut your paper to create this card. Be warned, there aren’t any photos!

While I’ve made a Christmas card, this Fun Fold would be a perfect birthday card with a gift card tucked into one of the panels. Check out the Boughs of Holly Suite, but feel free to explore with your favorite DSP!

Thankful Friends and Aspen Tree dies

I love trees. There were beautiful aspens growing outside my first apartment in college and this beautiful Aspen Tree die cut brings back memories of standing on the second floor deck, studying their intricate bark. (I know the leaf doesn’t match, I’m claiming artistic license.)

  • Stamps: Framed Occasions, Forever Fern
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Starry Sky, Soft Suede
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Aspen Tree Dies, Fall Leaves and Amber Gems (back in stock week of 11/7), Blending Brushes, Daubers, Linen Thread

The clean edges of the die cut trees contrast well with the soft coloring achieved with daubers and the Blending Brush. Starry Sky is a perfect choice for a twilight sky behind the trees, and the little “dits” from Forever Fern suggest distant constellations.

I cut a stack of these Aspen Trees and keep finding new ways to style them. Gnomes, reindeer, birds, even Santa in a sleigh cutting across the sky would all work here, and in the spring, washes of rhododendron could fill the bottom half of the back panel. But don’t wait til spring, these dies are from the July December mini catalog – you need them now! Shop HERE.

Hello Harvest with a Charming Sentiment

Hello Harvest stamps lend themselves to the masking technique, and today I’ve placed the floral image on top of that big juicy pumpkin with the help of our masking paper. It’s a great card to reproduce, as once you’ve cut the mask it’s good for many repetitions.

  • Stamps: Hello Harvest, Charming Sentiments
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Old Olive
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Sentiment Silhouettes dies, Deckle Rectangle dies, Masking Paper, Rustic Harvest DSP, Leaf Labels and Amber Gems, Stampin’ Blends, Dimensionals

I created a mask with the floral image by stamping it on our new masking paper and cutting it out with my snips. (The die would have been much faster, but my brain wasn’t working very well that morning.) You could use a sticky note instead of masking paper, but the beauty of masking paper is that the entire page is sticky, so you don’t have lifted edges. It’s also quite thin, so your layered image doesn’t have gaps.

I stamped the flowers first, then covered them with the mask and stamped the pumpkin. The next step was coloring, and oh, I do love to color, especially with Stampin’ Blends! I chose a sentiment from the Charming Sentiments bundle, inked it in Cajun Craze, and cut it out with the matching die. Both the sentiment and the focal point panel are mounted on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside, I came up with a little trick to expand the interior panel. I cut a strip of DSP about 1 1/4″ wide and placed it on the long edge of the Basic White panel. I ran both pieces through the Big Boss together using the Deckle Rectangle dies. I’ve actually skooched (highly technical stamping term) the DSP to the right a bit so I could get a wider interior panel.

This card could be a birthday card, thinking of you, or any number of other sentiments. I like to keep a few of these in my card stash without the sentiment – it just takes a moment to stamp and cut what you need and attach it to the front with dimensionals.

The leaves and amber gems are not available but are expected the week of November 7th. In the meantime, you can put together this entire card and add the gems later or substitute something you already have. Don’t wait on the Rustic Harvest DSP – it’s on the Low Inventory list! Shop today!

Soft Seedlings in Autumn Technicolor

I have a bit of a fangirl obsession with one of our Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team members. Tammy Wilson just WOWs me with her creativity, and this card is very similar to her Soft Seedlings project last month. The technique is very easy and a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to try it with other images.

  • Stamps: Soft Seedlings
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Deckle Edge Rectangles, Tailored Tags, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Sponge Daubers, Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim, Daubers, Glue Dots, Take Your Pick (TYP) tool, assorted Sequins

This is a variation on the baby wipe technique (add drops of ink to baby wipes) but the results are more vivid because you apply the ink directly to the stamp with a dauber. It’s an addictive process because each leaf turns out differently! I made half a dozen of these a couple of evenings ago and it was astonishingly therapeutic (well, all stamping is therapeutic).

#MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #softseedling #handmadecard #diy #fall #autumnleaves #thinkingofyou #stampinupdemonstrator

The TYP (Take Your Pick) tool is indispensable when you’re adding small embellishments. Use the flat end to pick up and place the Glue Dot, and use the putty end for the embellishment (I call the putty something else but this is family blog, lol – although little kids specialize in this particular sticky bit!)

I added a few little seed pods on the inside. When you make your own cards, you get to do that!

Soft Seedlings is available now in our July-December mini catalog. You can find it HERE.

AMAZING YEAR meets the Scrap File

I took my paper snips to Amazing Year to create the focal point for this card. I colored the bouquet with my Stampin’ Blends and rummaged through the bits and pieces on my craft desk to pull a card together:

Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Timeworn Type Awash in Beauty DSP
  • Stamps: Amazing Year
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Rectangle dies, Stampin’ Blends, Awash with Beauty DSP, Perfectly Penciled DSP, White Frayed Ribbon, White Bakers Twine, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Paper Snips

I had such fun preparing the Deckled Rectangle for this bouquet. A little watercolor wash, a few flicks from my Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write marker (flick the brush against the cap – try it!) and that white panel is elevated to something special.

Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Timeworn Type Awash in Beauty DSP Perfectly Penciled DSP

The two different pieces of DSP were scraps just begging to be used. In the photo, that green panel looks like it’s been embossed, but it’s just the design of the DSP popping off the page. It worked really well with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Amazing Year Timeworn Type Awash in Beauty DSP Perfectly Penciled DSP

A little bakers twine, pulled apart and tied into a soft bow, accents the bouquet. I trimmed the “Enjoy Your Day” tag off the stem and attached it separately because 1) the connection was too thin and it would be wonky and 2) I wanted it tucked almost underneath the bouquet. It’s a great sentiment because it covers a lot of occasions.

Try this yourself! Pull together some scraps of DSP and color an image you love, then play mix and match. It’s gratifying to use up those bits and pieces! Shop for supplies HERE.

October 2022 DIY: Hello Harvest

Don’t you love a big, round pumpkin? I’d prefer to look at one all month versus a jack-o-lantern, so I chose Hello Harvest for my October 2022 DIY calendar:

#mauistamper #stampinup #harvesthello #diy #2022calendar #DIYeaselcalendar #pumpkin #fall
  • Stamps: Harvest Hello
  • Color Palette: Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Basic White
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Rustic Pumpkin dies, Stampin’ Blends, Champagne Jewels, DIY Easel Calendar template, multipurpose glue

I took a chance and stamped the pumpkin with Cajun Craze ink. We recommend Memento to work with Stampin’ Blends because it doesn’t run, so I had to be careful not to overdo my brush strokes over the stamped portion of the image. I was feeling a little rebellious 😉

I inked up the leaves and then stamped them off. I chose the ones I liked best to die cut and added them with the swirly bits. The pumpkin is on dimensionals, and a few gems add some sparkle.

#mauistamper #stampinup #harvesthello #diy #2022calendar #DIYeaselcalendar #pumpkin #fall

I began with Daffodil in the belly of the pumpkin to get that warm glow, then worked my way out with Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. This is a very satisfying image to color – I recommend it!

Please take a moment to see what my dear friends Crystal and Cheryl have done for October 2022. We really enjoy sharing these calendars with you every month, and we hope you enjoy seeing them!

A Cauldron of Bats: Design a Treat Box Dies

I am a word nerd. (Yes, I WORDLE.) So when I discovered the collective noun for bats is CAULDRON, I had to tell everyone I knew. Well, I started out by telling my family in our group chat, and now I’m telling all of you, so I think that’s everyone!

#mauistamper #stampinup #designatreat #bat #halloween #trickortreat #halloweentreat #diy
  • Stamps: Design a Treat
  • Color Palette: Black and White
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Design a Treat dies, Perfectly Penciled DSP (and a few sheets of retired B&W), Amber Gems, Tear n Tape (TnT)

Those Amber Gems from the Rustic Harvest Suite give the perfect spooky stare, don’t they? And that cute little tag is not only part of the Design a Treat dies, but there are THREE of them!! And since our Basic White card stock is a little lighter weight than standard card stock, you can cut two at once – which means I was cutting 6 in one crank of the Big Boss!!!

#mauistamper #stampinup #designatreat #bat #halloween #trickortreat #halloweentreat #diy

It just so happens that two Hershey Nuggets fit perfectly inside these little boxes. They’re sturdiest when assembled with a little bit of Tear n Tape on the flaps. I experimented with card stock and with dies for the boxes, and while card stock closes more securely across the top, the DSP is much cuter. I cut the batty tops from card stock, and they sit quite firmly across the top, keeping it closed. The advantage of using that batty top is that there’s no adhesive, so the box doesn’t have to be ripped open to enjoy the contents.

I really did make a Cauldron’s worth – this isn’t even half! They’re a single Big Boss cut to produce (run the batty bit at the same time) and they assemble easily. They’re a perfect table favor, office treat, or Halloween decoration. Find them HERE and you’ll have your own Cauldron in a FLASH 💥 (Don’t forget the TnT)

Natural Prints meet Hues of Happiness

Hues of Happiness Designer Series Papers are colorful, but they’re not chaotic. They make a perfect backdrop for a single image. Here they highlight the Maidenhair Fern from Natural Prints:

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #ForeverFern #HuesOfHappiness #TimewornType #DIY #HandmadeCard #stampinupdemo
  • Stamps: Natural Prints, Amazing Year
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Natural Prints dies, Timeworn Type 3D EF, Hues of Happiness DSP, Metallic Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I chose Fresh Freesia out of that DSP to offset the brilliant green of Granny Apple. I like that they’re similar intensities, and emotionally those two colors almost vibrate together. I think that makes “the message really “To a wonderful friend” really resonate.

I flicked the edge of my Highland Heather Stampin’ Write marker against the cap to get that fine spatter. It’s hard to see in photos but in your hand, it softens the Basic White card stock.

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #ForeverFern #HuesOfHappiness #TimewornType #DIY #HandmadeCard #stampinupdemo

The Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder is my current favorite. Does that happen to you? For a while I was all about the Fern EF, and then I got hooked on the Tropical Hideaway background stamp. Now it’s Timeworn Type, but don’t hold your breath – I’m pretty fickle.

September 2022 DIY: Amazing Year

Sunny September was begging for this sweet bunch of flowers. Amazing Year is a bit of a sleeper set and that was reason enough for me to ink it up and give it a little DIY Easel Calendar Love!

MauiStamper #stampinup #amazingyear #DIY #easelcalendar #september22 #desktopcalendar #stampinupdemo #stampinblends
  • Stamps: Amazing Year
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizazz, Old Olive
  • Accessories: Stampin’ Blends, Paper Snips, White Crinkle Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This image was very satisfying to color. I stayed with two tones, yellow and green, but played with shades of green to give those tiny leaves dimension. This is one of those “you can’t do it badly” images!

MauiStamper #stampinup #amazingyear #DIY #easelcalendar #september22 #desktopcalendar #stampinupdemo #stampinblends

I combined the two main images from the set to create this package with a bouquet. I also trimmed off the “Enjoy your day” tag and so that I could choose the placement. There isn’t much to keep it attached, so it’s much more secure this way.

Take two minutes to see what Cheryl and Crystal have done with their September DIY calendars. You’ll love their versions!
