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.

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.

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.

My favorite colors from Stampin’ Up! are the Brights Collection. The Ocean Friends Suite is full of the Bright colors and feeds my need. Plus these papers just make me Smile!
And this one is a Fun Fold as well.
STAMPS
There are two different stamp sets used on this Fun Fold card. Both of the sentiments are from the Pattern of Friendship stamp set. The front sentiment is a definite favorite of mine. Cards should make us Smile, and this sentiment really does for me. And the inside Bubble looking font of Happy Birthday is from the same set.
To add some additional “sea” or “ocean” to the inside of the card, I added the bubbles around the sentiment. These are from the Ocean Friends stamp set. The bubbles paired with the starfish DSP and did not leave the inside as plain.
PUNCH
The fun sentiment layer on the front is made using the awesome Sweetest Star Punch. I really love this punch and was so happy it carried over. You may remember it from the Fall Mini Catalog. It was a bundle with a Mr. and Mrs. Claus stamp set. To create my focal layer, I stamped two of the stars and layered them on top of each other but spread out. It was easier to stamp the sentiment after punching out the star. Since the stamp set is photopolymer I could see placement perfectly. And much simpler than stamping and then trying to get it positioned where I wanted it when trying to punch.
PAPERS
These bright colors from the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper are what created the card. I love the mix of Brights in the starfish piece. And I am old enough to remember when orange and pink were first paired together back in my younger days. I loved it back then as well as now. Both of these papers are from that DSP.
The card base is pulled from the DSP. I used Pumpkin Pie as the color. Lemon Lime Twist and Summer Splash are the two star colors. The card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 1 1/2 and 5 3/4 to make the fun fold. The smallest section is the bottom and I used Tear & Tape to close the edges. A gift card will fit in here as well as the sentiment layer.
The front DSP layers are placed on a Basic White layer that measures 5 X 3 3/4. To add this to the front of the card, I added my glue to the card front. This ensured I would not have too much glue and glue my card shut!
EXTRAS
The bling and ribbon are the two Extras today. It was used to join the two patterns of DSP together after adhering them to the Basic White base. Plus it gives a grounding spot for the star.
I chose the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots for my bling. There are three different colors in two different sizes on the package. I scattered all three colors around the card. These are also part of the Friends of the Ocean Suite of products.

The card today is a mix of Floral patterns from the Unbounded Beauty DSP. I have paired it with a wonderful quad fold layout. It looks very elaborate, but is easy to create. Stand by for all four photos!
Above is the fully closed card. Next is the first flap open.
Next is with both front flaps open.
And finally to show there is still the regular inside of the card. So plenty of room for your thoughts and signature.
STAMPS& DIES
This fold allows for several locations to add a sweet sentiment. All of the ones I used are from the Unbounded Love Bundle. There are two sentiments and on the smaller of the front flaps, I added a die cut leaf from the Bundle. It was fun deciding on placement for the different stamps and papers.
The stamping is all done using the colors of the paper. For the sentiments I went with Petunia Pop for the pop of color. And for the foliage images I used Summer Splash. These images are from the Flowers of Beauty Stamp set.
PAPERS
These beautiful papers are all from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I love how well they all work together. The smaller bouquets on the front flap are fussy cut from one of the sheets, in addition to the solid pieces.
The gorgeous blue / green is Coastal Cabana. I liked the light and bright of this pairing. For the front flap I added texture using the Cute Crochet Embossing Folder. These sweet designs in the paper paired perfectly with the floral images of the papers.
EXTRAS
To add some “stand out” detail to the fussy cut florals on the front flap I used the Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Write Marker to go around the edge of the cut outs. It helps the White to blend better onto the Coastal Cabana. And for the bling, I went with the InColor Resin Dots. There are a couple of different colors of these dots passed around the card.
The Unbounded Beauty DSP, Unbounded Love Bundle, the Flowers of Beauty stamp set, and the In Color Resin Dots are all from the Unbounded Beauty Suite of Products. This is a double bundle suite and is fabulous.
MEASUREMENTS
To create this card only takes a few extra score marks and extra pieces of cardstock. The card base is 4 1/4 X 11 scored at 5 1/2. The front top left flap is 4 X 31/2 and scored at 1/2″ on the 4″ side. And the bottom right flap is 3 1/2 X 3 scored at 1/2″ on the 3 1/2′ side.
The flaps are added to the card base prior to the large piece of DSP. Fold on the score lines and then align the flap score line with the edge of the front of the card base. Space the two flaps evenly from the top and bottom of the card.
The DSP and Basic White pieces are all 1/8″ smaller than the base they are on. The largest DSP on the card base is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8. The large flap is 3 3/8 X 3 3/8 as is the Basic White on the reverse side. For the smaller flap you need 2 7/8 X 2 7/8 of DSP and Basic White.
