Snowflake Flap Fold for Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the Pals have been busy creating cozy, frosty, whimsical card ideas and paper crafts for our Winter Wonderland theme, using our favorite Stampin’ Up! goodies. Each project brings a different twist, and if you’re looking for inspiration, this hop is for you!

I began my Winter card by stamping Delicate Pines snowflakes in Balmy Blue Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used their dies for cutting. A three-piece snowflake was layered, with Dimensionals, on the card front, and a two-piece snowflake was glued flat, on the inside.

Snowflake Flap Fold

 

The “Flap Fold” with created with Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, scored at 3″. For the background, I used the “smooshing” technique. This was done by stamping a Balmy Blue Ink pad on the Stampin’ Glass Mat. Then, I spritzed the ink with water, and dabbed Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″ in the watered ink. After letting it dry, under the weight of a large Acrylic Block, I cut two pieces with the fourth largest Textured Notes Die. One was glued to the front flap, and one on the exposed “inside.” 

 

Next, I cut leaves and pinecones from the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Paper. I layered the leaves for thickness, and glued them in place, prior to attaching the snowflakes. Then, the pinecones were tucked in place.

 

I used the same Textured Notes Die to cut a third piece from Basic White Cardstock for the inside. I was careful to match the “inside” snowflake to the “front” snowflake while gluing, so it is hidden when the card is closed.

 

The sentiment, “warmest Winter wishes,” is from the Delicate Pines Stamp Set. I stamped it in Pretty Peacock Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used the smallest Textured Notes Die for cutting, and glued it in place. After adding some Traditional Sparkling Sequins, my card was complete.

 

Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop through each blog and enjoy every beautifully frosty idea.
And stick around — next month we’re creating for the “Something New” theme, and you won’t want to miss it!

A Child Is Born Fun Fold for Pals Blog Hop

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! Ready to sprinkle some holiday magic into your crafting this season?This month’s theme, Season’s Greetings, is all about celebrating the joy of handmade creations. The Stampin’ Pretty Pals have come together to share festive cards and paper craft ideas using our favorite Stampin’ Up! products — each project designed to inspire your creativity and help you capture the spirit of the season.

I used just one stamp set, and one die set, for today’s Fun Fold card: A Child Is Born, and Everyday Arches. The basic design of my Fun Fold card is a Z Fold, with arches added to the card base.

“For unto us a child is born”

 

This Z Fold card base was cut from Basic White Cardstock,12″ X 2 3/4″, scored at 4″ and 8 “. Then, I used the largest Everyday Arches Die to cut three arches from Basic White Cardstock, and glued them to the Z fold card base. Here’s a view of the back.

 

Next, I used the second largest, Everyday Arches Die, to cut three arches from designer paper. For the first panel, I stamped the nativity scene in Secret Sea Ink on Country Woods Designer Paper. Before gluing it to the card base, I stamped “For unto us a child is born.” This picture shows the folded card, ready to fit in our Medium Envelope.

 

The second panel was cut from Peaceful Garden Designer Paper, layered with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the sixth largest Everyday Arches Die. Before gluing, I stamped it in Secret Sea Ink with “When they saw the star they rejoiced,” and the stars. The third panel is also Peaceful Garden Designer Paper, layered with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the eighth largest Everyday Arches Die, and stamped “O come let us adore Him.”

 

I hope today’s project sparked some holiday cheer and crafting inspiration! There’s so much more to see — keep the fun going by following the lineup below to visit the rest of the Pals. And be sure to join us next month when we create our own Winter Wonderland!

Beautiful Pumpkins Easel Fold for Pals Blog Hop

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is all about Acts of Kindness, Gratitude, and Thanksgiving! The Pals are here to inspire you with heartfelt card ideas and creative paper crafts made with Stampin’ Up! products. Be sure to visit each participant’s blog — you’ll find the full list at the end of this post so you can easily hop along and enjoy all the inspiration!

I love pumpkins for Thanksgiving cards, and the Beautiful Pumpkins Bundle was perfect for this month’s blog hop. I wanted to make a “special” card, and thought the “easel fold” would work for my idea. I began by stamping four pumpkins in Pumpkin Pie Ink, and the stalks in Mossy Meadow Ink. Then, I used their Beautiful Pumpkins Dies for cutting, and glued the stalks to the pumpkins.

Easel Fun Fold

 

To create the “easel fold,”  I cut 8 ½” X 11” Mossy Meadow Cardstock in two pieces: 4 ¼” X 11”.  After scoring and folding both at 5 ½”, I scored an additional 2 ¾” on piece #1, which is the front. Then I glued the 5 ½” side of piece #1 to the 5 ½” underside piece of #2. It should look like this:

 

Next, I used the fourth and sixth largest Everyday Arches Dies to cut the arch from Country Woods Designer Paper, backed with Mossy Meadow Cardstock for thickness. Prior to gluing the arch to the front of the card base, I cut Painterly Pears Designer Paper, 4″ X 2 1/2″, and glued it to the front. The sentiment, “Happy Thanksgiving,” is from a retired stamp set, Painted Pheasant. I stamped it in VersaMark on Mossy Meadow Cardstock, 2 1/4″ X 1 1/4″, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, set it with the Heat Too, and glued it in place. To complete the front, I used a Beautiful Pumpkins Die to cut two vines from Old Olive Cardstock, glued them to the arch, and attached one of the pumpkins on Dimensionals.

For the second panel, I used Mossy Meadow Ink to stamp six vines on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/2″, three light, and three dark. After gluing the layer in place, I attached three pumpkins on Dimensionals. I made sure two pumpkins were seen from the closed card, and one was hidden.

 

The inside was created with the “left-over” piece from the arch on the front, 3 1/4″ X 4 3/4″. The center arch was cut with the fourth largest Everyday Arches Die from Basic White Cardstock. Prior to gluing, I stamped “Thankful for you” in Mossy Meadow Ink. This sentiment is from the Gathering Moments Stamp Set. I added another vine, cut from Mossy Meadow Cardstock, and my “easel fold” was complete.

 

The creativity doesn’t stop here! Be sure to hop along using the lineup below to explore even more inspiring projects from the Pals. And mark your calendar — next month, we’re spreading holiday cheer with our “Season’s Greetings” theme!

Beautiful Pumpkins Fun Fold for Pals Blog Hop

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! The Pals are “Ready for Fall” and hope to inspire you with card and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

It isn’t Fall without pumpkins, and I’m excited to share the new, Beautiful Pumpkins Bundle on a fun fold card. To begin the Double Z Fun Fold, I cut a piece of 8 1/2″ X 11″ Crumb Cake Cardstock in half, 4 1/4″ X 11″, and scored it at 5 1/2″ and 8 1/4″. Then, I cut three panels of Basic White Cardstock;  2 1/2″ X 4″ for the two smaller panels, and 5 1/4″ X 4″ for the larger panel. Prior to gluing the panels, I gave them texture with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder.

Beautiful Pumpkins

 

Next, I used the new, Beautiful Pumpkins Bundle to decorate my Fall card. I stamped the pumpkins in Pumpkin Pie Ink and Peach Pie Ink, used their dies for cutting, and attached them with Dimensionals. The stalks were stamped in Crumb Cake Ink, die-cut, and glued in place. Then, I cut vines from three colors of Cardstock (Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist) and glued them in place. Isn’t this vine fabulous?

 

After the pumpkins and vines, I cut a band for the bottom from Crumb Cake Cardstock, 11″ X 1 1/4,” scored at 5 1/2″ and 8 1/4″. The band was decorated with three strips of Woven Textures Designer Paper.  The long strip is 5 1/4″ X 1″, and the two shorter strips are 2 1/2″ X 1″. The trickiest part of the Double Z Fun Fold is fastening the band. It seems odd, but the long section of the band is glued to the short front section. I find it easiest to apply glue to the folded band, because this exposes only the part that should have glue. Then, fold the card while adhering the band in place. I suggest having a “dry” run before applying glue.

The words, “Pumpkin Season” were cut from Gold Foil, using More Than Autumn Dies. The sentiment, “Thankful for the small things” is from the Beautiful Pumpkins Stamp Set. I stamped it in Pecan Pie Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Beautiful Butterflies Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. To complete the card, I added several, gold, Metallic Gems.

 

This month’s projects have been full of ideas you can use—whether you’re making cards, gifts, or just adding a little sparkle to your everyday creativity. The Pals have their own projects ready to share, and trust me, you don’t want to miss them!

Fun Fold Animal Card for Pals Blog Hop

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is Animal House—and the Pals are here to inspire you with a parade of paw-some card ideas and paper craft creations, all featuring Stampin’ Up! products. At the end of each post, you’ll find links to all the participant blogs so you can “hop” along and gather ideas to make your own projects roar with personality. 🐾

For this month’s animal card, I’m sharing a re-make of a Fun Fold “circle flap” design. It features the darling dog from Along These Lines Stamp Set, which I stamped in Early Espresso Ink on Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper, and used scissors to fussy cut.

By Su Mohr for Pals Blog Hop; Click aromasandart.com to go to my website for details! Featuring: Along These Lines Stamp Set, Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and Die, The Right Words Stamp Set, Textured Notes Dies, Woven Textures DSP, Glass Embossing Folder; #alongtheselines #therightwords #animalsympathycard #dogs #extraordinaryflorawashi #palsbloghop #lastchanceproducts #incolorsale #stampin'up

Animal Fun Fold

 

For the dog’s background, I was excited to use Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape, which I adhered to Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/2″ X 5″, then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Extraordinary Flora Die. Next, I attached the cut pieces on a Thick Basic White circle, cut with the largest Spotlight on Nature Die. The dog was glued in place with the sentiment, “Thinking of you,” from The Right Words Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Textured Notes Die for cutting.

 

The card base is Soft Sea Foam, 8″ X 4 1/4″, scored at 2 1/2″. The 2 1/2″ fold is the front, which I embossed with the Glass Embossing Folder. The circle with the dog and flora was centered, gluing just the left side to the flap. Then, I backed it with Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, for thickness, and a finished look on the inside. 

 

The inside tells you this is a sympathy card, with the sentiment from The Right Words Stamp Set, “Hoping the loss you feel right now will be eased by wonderful memories.” I stamped the words in Mossy Meadow Ink on a third, Basic White circle, cut with the same Spotlight On Nature die. Before gluing this circle, I glued Woven Textures Designer Paper, 5 1/4″ X 4″ to the Soft Sea Foam card base. To complete the card, I added one more piece of Extraordinary Flora.

 

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Pals. Next month we will create beautiful inspiration for a “Ready for Fall” theme and hope you will join us.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Feathered Fun for Pals Blog Hop

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Favorites of the New Annual Catalog.” Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting the fun, there are lots to get you inspired for your next project. So, click through the lineup to “hop” along and see how we are inspired by these beautiful new products. You’re bound to find a few new favorites—and some inspiration along the way!

The Feathered Fun Stamp Set is one of my favorites in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. The birds can be used in so many creative ways! Check out the complete set in my Product List below. For today’s card, I heat embossed a pair of birds on designer paper.

Heat Embossed Birds

 

I began with Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, and trimmed the top and bottom with two, different, Fancy Borders Dies. FYI: I just saw that Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper is on the “low inventory” list.

 

Next, I stamped the birds in Versamark in the center of the pattern, sprinkled them with White Embossing Powder, and set them with the Heat Tool. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The sentiment, “You’re wonderful. You’re loved, You matter,” is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped it in Mossy Meadow Ink on the designer paper (cut from the bottom), and used a Wonderful Thoughts Die for cutting. After cutting, I layered it for thickness, and glued it to the card front.

 

To complete the design, I added three, white, Neutral Matte Dots.
