FUN FOLD FRIDAY HAS ARRIVED – TIME FOR SOME FUN

For my Friday Fun Fold card I have an Easel Card for you, featuring the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection.

I will definitely need to make some more projects, using this Suite, because I haven’t even touched the Puffy Stickers yet.

I couldn’t resist using the palm trees paper again!

In addition to the DSP, I die cut three palm trees and addded them to the grove of trees. I thinly cut strips of Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the trees up over the DSP palms.

The greeting was stamped on a scrap of Basic White card and trimmed to a neat rectangle. I used Dimensionals to add the greeting to the card front.

The ribbon embellishment was created by cutting a length of Secret Sea Bordered Open Weave Ribbon, fraying it and then tying a multiple-looped bow. I secured it place using a Mini Glue Dot.

I coloured some Antique Pearls using the dark Secret Sea Stampin’ Blend pen and added them as ‘coconuts’ to one of the palms.

Now, let’s check out the easel.

I added a strip of the DSP at the bottom edge of the Basic White card insert. This works as the edge to hold the card front up.

Some extra coloured Pearls were added to this DSP panel.

I stamped the greeting on the Basic White card insert before adhering another die cut palm tree.

This week was fun – I hope you enjoyed all my shares.

Make sure you leave me a comment to tell which is your favourite project.

Next week I will have another amazing collection of products to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from January 6th.

Colour INKspiration Challenge #201

Hello everyone – wishing you all a wonderful holiday season.

Picture credit- https://nz.pinterest.com/pin/402157441743009057/

Welcome to our 201st challenge at Colour INKspiration!

We welcome Sharon Cheatle as our Guest Designer.

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Bernie Roodt.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI201, Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, Pretty Peacock and Gold, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, ‘Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! (or any other brand) substitute – Real Red instead of Poppy Parade, for example.

To get your creative ideas flowing, make sure you check out the Crew’s Project in the #CI201Album –

Challenge guidelines:

· Create a NEW project made specifically for this challenge.

· Use all of the challenge colours (or close substitutions) unless stated.

· Upload only ONE picture per entry straight to the discussion wall and NOT in an album.

CI#201 will run for almost FIVE weeks and will end at 7 pm (AEDT) on Monday January 12th 2026.

We hope you can participate this round and look forward to seeing a variety of projects using the challenge colours. Happy stamping!

For this project I am featuring the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle from the January – April 2026 Mini Catalogue.

To accent the gold in the colour palette I am also using the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack.

Another soon-to-be released product is the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. It creates an amazing texture on the gold foil.

The greeting was heat embossed using WOW Gold Embossing Powder.

The front of the card was embellished with coloured Antique Pearls. I couldn’t find my dark Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blend pen so I had to use the light – dark would have been better.

I repeated the use of the gold flower, from the Ephemera Pack, on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

I hope that you all join us for this #201 Challenge and enjoy a crafting holiday season.

IT’S THURSDAY & TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

This week’s product spotlight is on the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection that is available from January 6th – unless you want to buy it sooner. To do this you need to join Stampin’ Up! and preorder this and lots of other great soon to be released new products.

For this project I used one of 12″x 12″ papers from the Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper to create a great gift bag. I cut 1 3/4″ from the bottom of the paper.

I scored the paper at 1/2″, 2 1/2″, 6 1/4″ and 8 1/4″ on the 12″ side. The bottom edge was scored at 2″ for the bag base.

I also added a partial score line 6″, from the top edge, down both of the 2″ panels. This helps the bag fold in at the top.

To close the bag I punched two holes using the 1/8″ circle from the Hole Punch Assortment. Then I threaded some Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon to be able to a bow.

For the greeting tags, I die cut three tickets – one each in Basic White, Bubble Bath and Secret Sea. The greeting was stamped on the Basic White ticket.

The tickets were overlapped and glued together. Then I punched a 1/8″ hole for the ribbon to be threaded through. The tickets were then secured in place using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I coloured some Antique Pearls using the dark Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend pen.

I think this would be a fantastic gift bag for a birthday gift.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
