Stampin’ Up! Elegant Leaves for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday!! I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead. I’ll be heading out to Harrisburg PA today for a leader’s event. This is the 1st time there’s one this close to me and I didn’t want to miss it. The event is tomorrow, but we decided to get a hotel room for the night, so I don’t have to leave at 6am tomorrow morning.

Today’s card I used one of my favorite patterns of DSP from an Online Exclusive pack of DSP and made a super simple fun fold. I had originally made a reel for this card so you could see how I made it, but when I went to edit it somehow, I hit the flip button and recorded the ceiling. That was a first time I did that one. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Elegant Leaves Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Elegant Leaves Bundle, Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies and Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Elegant Leaves Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Autumn Opulence DSP to a Gold Foil mat. Adhere the layered panel to the front of the Blackberry Bliss card base. Cut 2 panels of Very Vanilla with the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies.

Stampin' Up! Elegant Leaves Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Elegant Leaves Dies, cut the 3 larger leaves from panels of Blackberry Bliss, Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Two-Tone Cardstock. Cut the details leaf from 1 side of the paper, flip it over and cut the solid leaf from the other side so you have a contrast. Adhere the details leaves to the solid leaves.

Stampin' Up! Elegant Leaves Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Elegant Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the bottom right of one of the die cut Very Vanilla panels. Adhere the leaves to the top left of the panel with Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a triple bow with the Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine and adhere it to the leaf stems. Add a few Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card frint.

Stampin' Up! Elegant Leaves Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the small panel of Autumn Opulence DSP to a Gold Foil mat. Adhere the layered panel to the left inside of the card base. Adhere the last panel of Autumn Opulence DSP to a Gold Foil mat. Adhere the layered panel to the right inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base. On the Very Vanilla die cut panel, stamp the sentiment from Elegant Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Stamp a couple of the details leaf images from the Elegant Leaves stamp set in Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the top of the panel. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card base, behind the card front die cut panel.

Stampin' Up! Elegant Leaves Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the details leaf images from the Elegant Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss, Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Inks on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Autumn Opulence DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Crew for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead. My daughter and I took a day trip on Wednesday and went to Peddlers Village in PA. They have some of the most unique little shops. We had a beautiful day for it too. My daughter wanted to go because there was a pop-op Gilmor Girls Luke’s Diner. We went there to have lunch and get a couple drinks that were names after the Gilmor Girls. There was also a scarecrow contest going on, which was a lot of fun to see. I can’t wait to go again around Christmas.

Today’s card is a design that we made at our annual retreat last month. This was one that my friend and roommate Judi had designed. On the retreat we made a fall card, and I decided to make it into a holiday card.  If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings for Fun Fold Friday & Last Day of FLASH SALE!!

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I made it safely to TN Wednesday afternoon. It was so great getting to spend some time with Judi and Tara before heading to GA yesterday. Then once we arrived at the house and met up with everyone the fun began. Of course, our first dinner that James made us was amazing. We had a Salad, Beef Lasagna, Garlic Bread Panned Fried Brussel Sprouts with Sweet Chilli Sauce and Skillet Roasted Broccoli. It was finished off with a wonderful Lemon Blueberry Angel Food cake. Looking forward to our Blueberry French Toast bake this morning.

Today’s card is one that we made last Sunday at our quarterly team meeting. This card was designed by Rosie Kean one of my amazing team members. I changed mine up a little, as I usually do. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Stamp Set, Sunflower Fields Suite Collection and the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 2 panels of Sunflower Fields DSP to Secret Sea mats. Adhere the panel of Radiant Foil Specialty Paper to the Secret Sea mat. Using the Radiant Sunflower Dies, cut 2 of the small sunflowers from a panel of Golden Glow and 1 from a panel of Cajun Craze. Cut 3 flower centers from a panel of Early Espresso. Stamp the leaf image from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set 3 times on a panel of Old Olive in Mossy Meadow Ink. Cut the images using the Radiant Sunflowers Dies. Adhere the 2 Sunflower Field layered panels to the top and bottom of either the right or left side of the card front. Adhere the Radiant Foil layered panel to the center of the opposite side you adhere the floral one.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the flower centers to the flowers. Adhere the sunflowers to the ends of the layered panels with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the leaves under the sunflowers.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, stamp the sentiment from Banner Sayings stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the short Stylish Shapes Dies banner. Adhere a piece of Mossy Meadow & Very Vanilla 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon to the Radiant Foil panel. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Radiant Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Sunflowers 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere 2 panels of Sunflower Fields DSP to Secret Sea mats. Adhere the 2 layered panels to either side of the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

Adhere the die cuts to a panel of Very Vanilla. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! Sept – Dec 2026 Catalog and the upcoming Sept 2026 Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask?

Stampin’ Up! Sweetly Sentimental for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday. WOW!! We’re already halfway through July, where is the time going.  I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. I decided to play with the Hot Foil System live last night and it went better than I expected. This new system is so much fun to play with. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.

Introducing the hottest items in crafting—the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System!!

The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE STAMPIN’ HOT FOIL SYSTEM?

This is everything included in the Stampin’ Hot Foil System & Craft Class:

  • Metallic Magic Craft Class ($30 value—limited time only!)
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil platform
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Shim & Spacer
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Magnetic Pick-Up Tool
  • Silicone platform station
  • Silicone cooling pad
  • Power cord
  • Instructions on how to use the system

The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (the foil itself), and Hot Foil dies and bundles are sold separately.

CRAFT CLASS

As an added bonus, everyone who purchases this system before January 4, 2027, will automatically be able to access the upcoming Metallic Magic Craft Class, a technique-centric virtual class. Attendees will make unique projects and learn crafting tips intended to elevate their hot foil crafting experience. This class is a special limited-time offer exclusive to this system and is an amazing tool when it comes to increasing skills, learning techniques, and making the most of this new product line.

You can see more details about the system, find the bundles and foil that will be available to order beginning on Friday, July 10 in this brochure:

A few notes about the new system:

  • Hot Foil results are best with either White Willow or Two-Tone Cardstock.  Smoother card stocks like the Two-Tone Cardstock and White Willow will achieve the best results when using the system, but you can use the regular card stocks too.
  • The Hot Foil System, foil rolls and new hot foil dies and bundles will be available Friday, July 10, 2026 in the online Stampin’ Up! store.
  • A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you do!).  You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.
  • The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160. Dies & foil are sold separately.
  • Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock.  So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!
  • IMPORTANT NOTE:  Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling.  You cannot die cut using foiling dies.  Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

I’m so excited for you all to be able to order this new system!  Head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store beginning July 10 to see and order the new system!
