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.

The card today is made from the fabulous new Textured Notes Suite of products. I did not use everything, but came close. If you like texture, then these products are for you.
STAMPBUNDLE
The Textured Notes Bundle is one of the new Online Exclusives that dropped yesterday. This is definitely a favorite. I first was drawn to this bundle because of the Dies. They are rectangle, layering Dies with different detailing around the edges of each. You can see the detail on the cane weave DSP layer as well as the sentiment layer.
Then after getting the stamp set, I was really drawn to the different images of texture and the simple floral. That doesn’t even take into account the sweet sentiments. There are a couple of different ones that have this fun scripted font. You can also see a different detail on the sentiment layer. I added the little floral to the sentiment layer by fussy cutting it. It was not difficult or time consuming to do. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso Ink with the foliage tone on tone with Pecan Pie.
PAPERS
These different papers may be the star of the card actually. They are both part of the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. The images are so clear and detailed that you want to run your fingers across them to feel the texture! The cane weave is beautiful, but I also love the linen look on the sentiment layer. And it is actually the opposite side of the cane weave. All of the sheets are as vibrant as these.
The card base and layer are colors I saw in the DSP. For the card base I went with Pecan Pie and then Crumb Cake for the layer. These work very well together.
SPECIAL TOUCHES
The most stand out of the card may be the bottom layer. This cardboard looking layer is made using the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. The detail and depth of the design is fabulous. Even though it is simply a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, it looks like much more.
There must be bling. Although with the more rustic scene, I felt shiny bling would be out of place. So the new Neutral Matte Dots fit the need perfectly. Actually I did not realize the Pecan Pie was even one of the dot colors. There is a trio of them scattered around.

Plaids are a pattern that should fit anyone. At least that is my view of the gorgeous plaid DSP Stampin’ Up! currently has. Add this to a simple fun fold card and I think you have a winner. A different shape of the sentiment is the cherry on top of the cake!
STAMPS
The star of this card is hard to define. There are three different options. But I am beginning with the sentiment. This one is from the stamp set that is a must have for sentiments. It is the So Sincere set. I love the vertical Happy Birthday! The layout of the card fits that vertical perfectly. I sometimes look for these and of course do not find them. There should be a vertical sentiment stamp set of the most common sentiments I believe.
The inside sentiment is also from the So Sincere stamp set. That is really an added bonus. I tend to mix and match. But I love having a pair in one set. Here is the open view of the card.
PAPERS
This beautiful plaid DSP is from the Timeless Plaids Designer Series Paper. I really love the colors in this sheet. And all of the plaids are really nice matching colors. The checkerboard on the front strip is the reverse of this piece, I believe. Sorry but I made this card last week for a class and my memory is shorter every day! 🙂 The best part of this paper pack is there are plaids to fit anyone.
The card base is Basic Beige cardstock. This cardstock is so pretty and versatile. It is a soft color in my book. I did pair it with Very Vanilla for the sentiment and the inside. But I could have simply used the Basic Beige there as well. It is light enough to stamp on easily.
DIES
There are two different Die sets used here. That perfect long oval for the sentiment is from the Greetings of the Season Die set. I love that long oval and the fact it fit the sentiment perfectly is just a bonus.
The second Die set used is the Changing Leaves Dies. These are the leaves on the front. There are two leaves attached and one single. The details are great and they add just enough texture to the card. These Dies come with the Hybrid Embossing Folder. Both of these Die sets are on the Last Chance List. This means that they are retired when the last ones are sold.
EXTRAS
The single bling today is unusual of course. If you follow my posts then you know I love bling. Today I restrained myself and used the single Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems. These are a mix of four different colors of mostly earth tone. This one is black sparkle. It could be elegant or rustic. The placement is important because all of the Greetings of the Season Dies are all tags. My black sparkle dot covers that tag hole!

Everyone knows I love the cute animals that the Stampin’ Up! Designers create. I have used one of those sets for a sweet birthday card to share with you. A smile and a hug are good things on your birthday.
Stamps
This is a one stamp set card, which I comment on all the time. It is nice on occasion to simply pick everything from one set. This Hearts & Hugs stamp set has adorable huggable animals and sweet matching sentiments. The simple sentiment is perfect for this rather large Hug! So why not use it. Right!!
The walruses are stamped with Gray Granite ink and then colored using both Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I tried to add different shades of the gray in their bodies to give a more natural look. Playing around with the Blends in my coloring is something I really enjoy. One day I may get it to a good spot.
Dies
The large walruses were a challenge to decide how to frame them. Then I remembered the Nested Essentials Dies. This was a perfect fit! I called this shape the oblong diamond. LOL!! I am not sure what it is actually called but it remind me of that. These are the two largest of this shape. They fit the card as well as the image. Since the sentiment was much smaller, I was not able to use the flag dies included in the Die set. So I made my own layered flag by clipping the white layer, adhering to the Night of Navy, and then clipping the Navy layer to match. It is not perfect, but close enough.
Papers
The card base was chose to match the walruses. It is Smoky Slate cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and folded at 4 1/4. I added the thin layer of Basic White at 5 1/4 X 4. And then this fun piece of DSP is 5 1/8 X 3 7/8. The papers needed to be larger due to the size of the image.
The wonderful blue plaid DSP is from the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper. It seemed a great match for the images by adding a bright color without being too busy. Of course the Night of Navy layer came from this paper.
Finishes
There are not a lot of finishes needed or really room for them. So I kept it simple and added a trio of bling. This time I went with the Adhesive Back Sparkle Gems. These are a trio of basic colors. I used the silver sparkle. There is also a gold and a black sparkle gem in this pack. It is a good one to have for masculine cards especially. Plus they are flat embellishments as well.
Thank you for stopping by today!! I hope you have a fun weekend.

Today’s card is a quick masculine birthday card. I believe it would be a sweet sympathy / thinking of you card as well. Quick and versatile, that is always a winner in my book.
Stamps
The main stamp set used is the Delicate Forest stamps. The tree and the leaves are both from this set. I love that tree! It is a single tree that I stamped twice at full strength and then the center tree was stamped off first. It stands out more in person. And the leaves were stamped down the side to fill in that area. Plus it is almost time for that to begin happening around here. Some of you may already see leaves falling.
The sentiment is the only stamp not included in the Delicate Forest set. This small birthday is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set. I kept it in the tree family today!
Papers and Ink
The card base and the Ink are both Mossy Meadow. It is very rare for me to only have one color like this. Although I did add Very Vanilla for the sentiment layer as well as on the inside. I wanted this to be a quick and easy one to duplicate.
The paper the trees are stamped on may be a bit difficult to really see. It is from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper. It has almost a linen look to it. But is very soft. It provides some added texture I believe.
Extras
The simple part of the card does include a few extras. However they are items you may already have in your stash and are easy to grab. First is the Die for the sentiment layer. I used the smallest rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies. These are such handy Dies that I highly recommend them. With rounded rectangles, banners and a long, slim, stretched diamond shape these dies fit about any stamp you would want to use.
The next addition is the green Baker’s Twine at the top. This is a new in the Mini Catalog three color Natural Tones Linen Thread. And the final extra is the bling. Except there are two! I used the , also new in the Mini Catalog, Woven Golden Leaves. These are so pretty. They are almost see through they are so light. And finally the Regal Foiled Adhesive Back Dots that are also from the Mini. These are in a few different colors. Of course I went with the green for this pretty monotone card.

I am channeling my favorite racing series today. I love Formula 1 Racing and when I saw the Racing By stamp set, I knew it was for me. And I have a sweet little friend that just turned 4 who loves race cards as well.
Stamp Sets
The Racing By stamp set includes the cards, driver, flag, and sentiment. I love being able to make a card from one stamp set. The only extra are the stars. I felt it needed a touch more for the victory. These come from the Merriest Trees stamp set.
The cards are Blueberry Bushel and Poppy Parade. With the drivers in Crushed Curry. To make the flag pole, I used a ruler and the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to simply draw the line. I went over it twice to give a bit more darkness.
Papers and Punch
There are no DSP on this card. I know that is amazing to those who follow me regularly! Sometimes it just happens. LOL!!! The card base is Blueberry Bushel with a layer of Poppy Parade. The sentiment is stamped on Crushed Curry card stock and then punched using the Happy Labels Punch.
