This post name is not exactly the name of the stamp set. It is however close, and very fitting as this stamp set brings back the “Round” punches that I love. I shared one yesterday as well with the round focal point. You can see that one HERE if you missed it.
You can see that this is a fun fold of sorts. It is a simple one though. And here is the inside view.
A Round of Hellos stamp set
The stamps used on the front are all from the A Round of Hellos set. There are a few sayings and more “round” pieces. I chose this half flower to go along with the leaves. This set also pairs with the 2 3/8″ and 2″ Circle Punches. Both of these are used in the “round” focal area.
Paper
To get the brightness I wanted on a cold and windy day here north of Atlanta, I went with the Brights 6X6 Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog. From that I pulled Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist. The base of the card is Melon Mambo. It is a simple cut of 6 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 1/4. The two DSP strips are both the same sheet, I used front and back, and measure 2 1/8 X 5 3/8. The inside one is adhered to the Basic White that is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8.
The circles were punched with the Circle Punches. It was the 2 3/8″ Circle for the Lemon Lime Twist DSP and then 2″ Circle for the stamped flower. The flower is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals where the DSP is adhered using Multi-purpose Liquid Glue. Remember to only add the glue to the half attaching to the left side!!
Bling
The papers are pretty on their own, but there still must be bling. I went a bit extra today with the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. These are Strawberry Slush but close enough. There are three sizes of each of the colors and I used all three sizes. You should be able to find 5 of the pearls scattered around.
To finish the card I wanted a touch of texture as well. My go to is a small bow. This is a double bow made using the White Bakers’ Twine from the Essentials Twine pack.

Fun Folds are my favorite type of card. This one is a simple one to create and adds wonderful interest at the same time. I call it a Diamond Card. You will be surprised at the simplicity and want to make your own.
As you can see, the diamond is part of the front of the card. An easy peasy but bold look.
Creative Haven Stamp Bundle
The front tag and sentiment, as well as the inside, are from the Creative Haven Bundle. I love the fun and bold sentiments in this set. And even better there are Dies that match the larger sentiments. That is a double win. I used a smaller sentiment for the inside as it is a smaller writing area than a full white layer on the inside. Here is the open view.
Here you see the additional DSP and the writing space with this sweet sentiment. Since these little stars are included I simply had to add them!
Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper
The fact this gorgeous DSP is still around makes me happy. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. They remind me of my childhood home. We had a couple of giant bushes. Since my preferred color is blue, even in hydrangeas, this paper is one I really love. With the Hydrangea piece as the front layer, I added a smaller pattern from the same pack to the inside. It is a small enough pattern that it doesn’t take away from the sentiment or your note. And the Secret Sea cardstock has really become one of my Go To colors!
Extras
There are a few additional “texture” points for this Diamond card. First is the tag with the sentiment. It is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals for more depth. I always am happy to add a tag to a card. Since it is a tag, there is a hole for ribbon. I simply tied the bow from Cloud Cover ribbon and adhered it over the hole instead of trying to tie the bow through the hole. And finally a trio of Sparkle Dot Essentials are the bling. These are new and fabulous. Different sizes and colors of glittering flat dots. What could be better!!
Measurements
The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut 4 1/4 X 9 and scored at 5 1/2 on the long side. For the diamond you need a Secret Sea piece cut to 3 X 3 (actually just a smidgen short of 3 X 3). This is adhered on the angle and at the end of the shorter front panel. Be sure to place your adhesive back from the center line so it doesn’t bleed over.
For the front I used a Basic White layer of 3 1/4 X 4 to have behind the hydrangea DSP. And 2 3/4 X 2 3/4 on the diamond. The hydrangea DSP is 3 1/8 X 3 7/8. On the inside of the card I have a Basic White that is 5 1/4 X 4 with the small print DSP at 2 1/4 X 3 7/8. Of course the Cloud Cover for the tag is more a scrap but you need at least 2 1/2 X 3 1/2.

I hope you are as excited as I am about the launch of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog today! I have my wish list ready to go and the alarm set. After today I will go back and update the Supply List for the recent posts that had new products to help you out.
My card today is Fun Fold that is a Double Box stand up card. This is one that I received as a swap from a fellow demonstrator, Angela Ball, at convention. I finally sat down and figured the measurements so I can share with you.
From this view you can see that it is dimensional and stands up.
This view shows the two overlapping boxes, and a close up of the DSP as well as the Dies.
STAMPS & DIES
The paper may be a star, but the Die set is a second star of the card. These layered Dies are from the Textured Notes Die set. They are part of theTextured Notes Bundle, which is where the sentiment is from. Each of the Dies has a different edging detail. That is unique and wonderful. I did not show the back of the card in photos. Since this is a stand up the card does not open. I have added a larger of the Die layers on the back, along with a sentiment and leaf, for your signature. This bundle is available in the Online Exclusives as part of the Botanical Textures Suite of products.
PAPERS
This beautiful black and white DSP is from the Botanical Textures Suite of Products and is named Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper. All of the sheets are black and white. Because of the simple black and white, I used Basic Black as the card base. Then to add another touch of color from the paper, I went with Smoky Slate as the sentiment layer. Of all of the grays in the collection, Smoky Slate seemed to match the best to the paper.
EXTRAS
The Extras on this card must begin with the Simply Scored scoring tool. I could not get by without my Simply Scored. I am not exact enough to score on the paper trimmer. I like having the edges to know my paper is in place. These measurements are not difficult, but need to be correct.
The second Extra is the single Bling. I used one of the Antique Pearls embellishments. But to match the grays of the paper, colored it with the Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. The pearl has sheen to it and that shows through the color.
MEASUREMENTS
This card base is 9 1/2 X 4 1/4 and is scored at 5 1/2, 6 1/2, 8, & 9. The DSP measures 3 3/4 X 4, 1 1/4 X 4, and 3/4 X 4. The DSP should be added prior to glueing the boxes. For the smaller box, you need card stock that is 5 1/2 X 3 1/2 and is scored at 3 3/4 & 4 3/4. This DSP is 3 1/2 X 3 1/4 and 3/4 X 3 1/4.

Yesterday I mentioned I was using some of the wonderful products from the Last Chance List that are still available. My Fun Fold card for today uses the Adventurous Sky Bundle. I love Fun Folds and this one is a great Pop Up type. Plus the card layout will work with any stamp set.
STAMPS& DIES
This fun stamp set is the Adventurous Sky. The stamp set is gone from the Last Chance list since I checked, but the Dies are still available and the DSP as well. The front sentiment, which I love, is from the stamp set. And is die cut using a Die from the Cheerful Daisies Die set. These Dies are on the Last Chance List as well, but still available. The stitching and the edge trim are so cute.
The inside airplane is stamped and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. I Die cut it with the matching Die set. (The Dies cut several of the planes from the DSP also.) And the inside sentiment is from the set.
PAPERS
The card colors all come from the DSP. It is the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper. And it is not retiring , but is currently on Low Inventory. I decided the card base should be Night of Navy to match the large DSP sheet on the front. A layer of Basic White helps that piece to pop . The angled plane piece on front is one of the sheets also. There is one sheet that has six or eight tag size designs. This is one of those. And the copper DSP strip is to help match the plane.
The inside is a piece of Basic White with a simple method cut from the folded center that pops out to hold the plane and sky. That little strip I added of sky is also from the DSP.
EXTRAS
There are two Extras today. The Jute Twine around the top adds some texture to a simple area of the card. It is from the 2023-2025 InColor Jute Trim. This is the Boho Blue twine. Since those colors are retiring, it is on the Last Chance List as well. And the bling for today is very simple. I placed a single bling from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls on the sentiment.
MEASUREMENTS
This layout is one I see myself repeating quite often. Any stamped image that will look good popped up on the inside will work. Or with the simple matchbook design, it can be more of a plain card without a pop up. I cased this card from Sunny Day Stampin’.
The card base measures 9 3/4 X 3 3/4 scored at 5 1/4. The taller half is the back of the card. Then the top section measures 4 1/4 X 2 1/2 and is scored at 1 1/4. The taller half of the base fits, centered, into the folded center of this piece to create the matchbook.
For the inside piece, Basic White is cut to measure 3 3/4 X 9 3/4 and is scored at 5. Again the taller section is the back. Now fold this and place the fold on your paper trimmer. cut a 3/4 ” slit through the folded card stock, making sure it cuts through both pieces, at 1 1/2 and 2. This pushes out and becomes the pop up holder.
The DSP layers for my card are 3 1/2 X 4 1/4 for the blue and white large front piece. Then 1 X 4 for the matchbook top. And the DSP with the plane on the front is 1 1/4 X 2 1/2.
STAMPIN’ REWARDS
The new Stampin’ Rewards begins on April 15. I think you will Love this new version. You will earn rewards on all orders over $20.00 in products The system will track your rewards for you.

I have a fun Fancy Fold to share today. This one is a Latch card. It is similar to a Buckle, but I think it is cuter! The Last Chance List is continuing with a lot of products still available. So I have decided to have starring roles for some of those before they are sold out.
This is the closed view with the latch on the right side. And here is the open view.
STAMPBUNDLE
The Wildlfower Designs Bundle is one I have used quite a lot. Probably the stamps more than the Dies. I do love this small flower on the front. This one I have used quite a lot. It is just so simple and cute. I stamped it in the background of the focal layer using Basic Beige Ink for a soft touch. Then again in Basic Gray to color and Die Cut. Raising it with Stampin’ Dimensionals gives it the elevated status it needs. I really hate that this bundle did not carry over. However it is still available right now.
The sentiments, both on the inside and the front, are from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. This set, and matching Dies, are carrying over. But they will no longer be bundled. Both of the sentiments are stamped using Misty Moonlight Ink to match the DSP.
PAPERS
These DSP sheets are both from the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper. The DSP is carrying over and I am thrilled. This paper is so pretty and the royal shades of the colors just makes me smile. Of course I pulled all of the colors used from the DSP.
The berry looking color is actually Moody Mauve, which is retiring. However, it looks just as good, if not better, with Berry Burst as a pairing color. Since I used the “back” of the blue version of this sheet, I wanted a color that matched both. So Mossy Meadow came to be the card base.
EXTRAS
To finish my card, I needed two Extras. First is the inside layer punch. I did not want to cover either of the DSP layers, so opted for a small sentiment and a small white section. The Labeled With Love Punch was my answer. And for the Bling, I went with the Brushed Brass Butterflies. They seemed perfect for all of the flowers.
MEASUREMENTS
The card base is cut to 8 1/2 X 4 1/4 and is scored at 3. The front layer measures 3 1/3 X 3 and then 3 1/4 X 2 3/4 for the White. For the front DSP it measures 2 3/4 X 4 with the blue inside layer at 5 1/8 X 4. The inside small DSP is 3 3/4 X 2 1/2. To create the “Latch” I used both Mossy Meadow and the DSP. The Mossy Meadow is 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 and the DSP is 2 X 2. Cut both of these on the angle, they should line up perfectly. To add to the card, simple add adhesive only along the longest edge and align flush with the right side of the card. Your flap should have room to slide under it. Keep this layer thin so it can bend just a little. I cased this card from Kathy Ondus.

My card for today is a birthday card for a sweet friend. I can share it now as she would have already received it. There are several products mixed together for this one. Two stamp sets, a Die set and some different DSP layers.
STAMPS
There are two stamp sets used here and only two things stamped. LOL!! I only had to stamp the front and inside sentiments. The sentiments are an important part of the card though. I love a fun, pretty font as you know. The front sentiment is from the Poised Peony stamp set. I like the bit of bold and sort of scribbled look. It seems like something I would hand write myself.
The inside sentiment is a really sweet one. And it is a mix of fonts. That is a favorite of mine. It is from the So Sincere stamp set. This is a set that I highly recommend. It is only sentiments and they are really nice ones. I am so thankful for the people I know that bring joy to my heart.
PAPERS
This card is a Fun Fold and there are a few different papers used. The card base is Peach Pie that is 4 1/4 X 11 and scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. Fold it into a Z and you have the card base. The top layer is another piece of Peach Pie. I used this since you will see the back of it when it is open. It measures 5 X 3 3/4.
For the front Fun layer, I used a piece of DSP from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper. The green is the reverse of the one of the floral pieces. It was the same 5 X 3 3/4 before being Die Cut. The yellow layer is actually another DSP. This one is from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. It is a variegated yellow and really soft looking.
To finish this top layer, I fussy cut from a sheet of the Floral Delight some flowers to add on. This is one that was in a corner of the sheet. So I left the left and bottom straight and just did a little fussy cutting around the other sides. The final step was adding the sentiment that was another Die Cut from Basic White.
The inside has the same green DSP as a layer. I wanted to be consistent with my theme. The layer of Basic White has another fussy cut flower from the Floral Delight DSP. It is from a separate sheet and another corner flower.
EXTRAS
The main item of Extra today is the Perennial Postage Dies. I used the two largest for the front layers. The green and the yellow are those large ones. Then I used a smaller one to fit on the side with the sentiment.
For a touch of softness, I added a bow using the Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon. It helps highlight the flower shading. And the final Extra is the bling. I was different today and added a straight line of different size bling. These are the new 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. I love them!!! The Darling Duckling is a new yellow that is a little brighter as you can see.
HOST CODE
My FEBRUARY HOST CODE is S2EYAW9N. Orders of $50.00 or more will receive an appreciation gift from me. I appreciate you choosing me as your demonstrator!
