Stampin’ Up ATCs

1/8/26

We have started our group on Facebook. We are using primarily Stampin’ Up products, either new or retired. This effort is to promote creativity and for fun.

These cards can be used in various ways. They make great card fronts. They are perfect for junk journals. You can also use them as bookmarks.

Watch for samples posted on the FB group around January 30th. I can’t wait to see the inspiration that comes from this.

Have you heard of ATC (Artist Trading Cards). We, I and a few friends, have started a group called Stampin’ Up ATC. You must us primarily SU products- they can be new or retired products.

We will create the 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ cards on cardstock bases using themes like techniques, particular colors and more. Then we will swap/share within the group.

These cards can be used as card fronts, bookmarks, in your junk journals and Folios and so much more. This allows for unrestricted creativity.

If you are interested, please find our group on FB Stampin’ Up ATC.

SU Fun Fold Blog Hop

December 30, 2025

Hi everyone! Thank you for stopping by for our final Blog Hop of 2025.

I have made so many Christmas cards, I don’t want to make any more! Ha, ha, ha 😉

So my card for December is a winter card. I used Stay Warm stamp set. I was inspired by Lilliam Goudzwaard-Ars. She made an adorable card that I just had to make my own.

I used Garden Green ink and cardstock to match the colors in the beautiful Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP.

I cut the card base, front at 1-1/2″ and then cut a piece off the left over at 1-1/4″. I used Velum to bridge the 2 pieces. I added 2 strips of Garden Green inside to create a little border. This allowed me to cover up the glue holding the Vellum.

I am enjoying this stamp set and have made a few winter cards with it. I hope you like it too!

Please follow the links below to see all the other wonderful creations made by the other talented SU Demonstrators.

Happy New Year!

SU Fancy/Fun Fold Blog Hop-Anything Goes

December 2025

Hi everyone! Thank you for stopping by to see all the creative artisan’s Fancy/Fun fold cards.

I took inspiration from Peggy Murwin, and made it my own.

I used Stay Warm stamp set to create my sweater, hat and mittens. I used Notes & Totes stamp Sending warm wishes and cut off the “sending” word.

For the card I cut a base at 6″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″. Cut a 1-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ for the bottom panel, that holds the card together.

First, cut a 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ coordinating color. This will hold the embossed 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ basic white. I place the colored and fussy cut sweater and hat on it.

I attached a piece of Vellum behind these 3 pieces, on the inside of the card. Then used more DSP to brighten up the inside and cover up the glue showing through the Vellum.

I colored, fussy cut the 2 mittens and using dimensionals attached them behind the Vellum, on the inside.

This can be a “Winter card” vs a Christmas card. It can be used for a friend/family member who has a birthday during the winter.

I hope you liked my card. I also hope you can take a minute to look at the others on the Blog Hop below.

Happy New Year!

SU Fun Fold Blog Hop

November ’25

Welcome back! Thank you for tracking this month’s Blog Hop.

My card is called a Pull-Out Pop-Up card. I used the beautiful Painterly Pears DSP. It has a mechanism under the front flap. When you pull the Old Olive and yellow DSP, it comes out. Then, a flap pops up. (see photo’s below.)

I got the tutorial from Stamping with Amore. She made a cute card for a child. I used Painterly Pears in my version. I made a tutorial for this card. If you would like the tutorial, message me and I will e-mail it to you.

Please follow the links below for many more beautiful fun fold cards. And thank you so much for taking the time to follow our blog hop.

SU Demonstrator Fun Fold Blog Hop-October

Thanks for stopping by our fun fold blog hop. There are some beautiful fun fold cards. Follow the links below and see what everyone has to offer.

My card this month is using the Everyday Arches and Modern Christmas DSP. I bought a packet from Liz Shannon-Ready, Set, Demo and have been creating the cool cards she made.

This one is called Layered Tent Fold. It was fun to make and not really hard.

This is what it looks like inside.

Here are the materials you’ll need.

Cherry Cobbler Card Stock:

  • 5-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 2-3/4”
  • 2-3/4” x 8-1/2” score at 4-1/4”
  • Basic White Card Stock: 2-1/2” x 5-1/4”, arch #4, arch # 9
  • Modern Christmas DSP: (watch for directionality) 2-1/2” x 4”, 2-1/2” x 5-1/4”
  • Smoky Slate Card Stock:  arches #4 & #5
  • Gold Foil Sheets: arches #6 & #7       

The 5-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece is the card base. The 2-3/4″ x 8-1/2″ is the tent part. You adhere the front to the card base front after applying the DSP. The back piece remains free.

If you have any questions, I’d be happy to help.
