I am in love with the 2025-2027 Stampin' Up! In Colors! I love the all individually, but I really love the way the five colors work together! Mom and I featured the In Colors in an episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie and I designed this Faux Quilt Card using all five colors: Cloud Cover, Secrete Sea, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, and Darling Duckling.
This card was inspired by, who sent me a similar card with the 2024-2026 In Colors. At first, I thought it looked like a lot of complicated cutting, but the little white squares in the corners make it easy to create the star design. To give it a quilted look, I embossed with the Perfect Plaid and Eyelet Embossing Folders. Which design do you prefer?

We are getting ready for another Last Chance Clearance Rack update -- coming Tuesday, August 5th -- so today I wanted to highlight one of my favorite designer papers currently on the Last Chance List. It's discounted and now available for 50% off! Unfortunately, the coordinating stamp and die bundle has already sold out, but the designer paper includes many adorable otters that you can cut out for focal points on your card. In fact, ALL of the otters on these five cards are from the designer paper.
Whether you use the Otterly Adorable Designer Paper or other images, I hope these cards inspire to stamp today!

Here's another fun fold card that I create with the Otterly Adorable Designer Paper. This fold was inspired by a card that I received for the Great, Big Card Swap from Anne Telecky. It uses a long piece of designer paper as the base for the card. You can create four card bases from one sheet of designer paper.

Here are more ideas using the Otterly Adorable Designer Paper!
The last card was created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists. They used the designer paper scene for the background of the card and then added a shaker frame on top.
How to Make a Shaker Card:
Use the Textured Notes Dies layered together to create a skinny frame or cut the center out of a rectangular piece of cardstock with your Paper Trimmer.
My 12 Days of Christmas in July video series kicked off last week with a One Sheet Wonder Template that will have you busting through your stash of designer paper to create cards for all occasions. Each day during this daily video series, I am unboxing a gift each day and sharing a new project featuring that gift. On Day 1, we unwrapped the Floral Charm Designer Paper. I love this gorgeous floral paper that was just released in the July 2025 Online Exclusives.
To create these five cards, I cut two 6" x 6" pieces of designer paper and mixed and matched the front and back sides to create these designs. I also added some detailed die cuts from the Charming Day Bundle and stamped a punched label with the sentiment and a small floral images.
Here's the template that I used. I call it the 123 template because the first cuts divide the paper into three segments that are 1", 2" and 3" wide.
