You're going to love the new 2025-2025 In Colors! This year's collection includes Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover, and Secret Sea.


Cloud Cover Update

Unfortunately, Stampin' Up! has decided to pull the full size Cloud Cover ink pad from production. The ink is having a chemical reaction with the firm foam ink pad base which is causing the color to shift and be more gray than blue.

The good news is that the ink is working well on the felt pad of a Stampin' Spot, so you have two options for a mini Cloud Cover ink pad.

Do you play an instrument? I took piano lessons when I was younger and remember just a little bit -- but all four of my kids are or were in band when they were in school. I love all of the band turtles in this paper pack. This was the card that I designed for my Peoria Shoebox Swap and I included all of the band turtles in my card packets. Here's the same card with the trumpeting turtle.

3 Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday Fun Fold Cards + Free Online Class Video

3 Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday Fun Fold Cards + Free Online Class Video | www.juliedavison.com #stampinup

I was so inspired after Tuesday's Great, Big Card Swap Showcase! (Watch the replay) I chose three of the cards from the swap and recreated the fancy folds using the Wildflower Birthday Designer Paper. I love this beautiful paper and the laser cut pieces make it so easy to decorate these special cards.

This Vertizontal Card was inspired by Terry Bigg's swap card. She used the Bistro Burger stamp set to create this fancy fold card (Original card design by Robin Armbrecht.) This design includes a vertical card with a small flap adhered around a horizontal cardstock base. Here's my version:

  • 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" Basic White Cardstock

  • 1" x 3-3/4" Wildflower Birthday Designer Paper (side)
  • 1-1/4" x 4" Wildflower Birthday Designer Paper (flap)
Every month, the "Curly Girls and Karra", a family of stampers, create their swap cards together virtually (since most of them live many states apart). They usually choose a fun fold or technique that they all incorporate while customizing and personalizing their cards with different stamp sets. Their cards inspired this next fun fold. See them here. (Original inspiration from "Stampin' Notes" on Facebook.)

The last Wildflower Birthday Pop-Up Card was inspired by Pat Williams. Every month, she shares the most amazing fun fold cards for the Great, Big Card Swap. Usually they are card designs that I've never seen before. (Not sure who to credit for the original fold design.) 

Here's my version of what I'm calling the Interlocking Double Gate Fold Card. After the livestream last night, I changed the designer paper on the front of the card to create more contrast against the white cardstock squares. I like it so much better with the Pool Party design. Leave a comment and let me know what you think after you watch the video tutorial!
