Do you have the Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday Suite? Originally released in the January-April 2025  Mini Catalog, this floral suite is perfect for making cards to celebrate birthdays and special occasions all year long!

 I used the number dies in the coordinating Birthday Celebrations bundle to customize this card for my sister's milestone birthday coming up this fall. The number dies are also great for creating graduation cards and New Year's cards since you can customize the year!

This card opens with a top fold and then a gate fold inside. There are lots of layers and spaces to customize with the die cuts and coordinating stamp images.

VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Fancy Borders Pocket Card

As I pull cards out of my stash to send on to others, I'm realizing there are so many that I haven't shared on my blog yet! I created this Fancy Borders Pocket Card back in April using the Online Exclusives Fancy Borders bundle. The dies in particular are so fun to customize your envelopes or create a dynamic focal image!

The designer paper and glimmer paper are both on the Last Chance List so be sure to grab them before they sell out! See More Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper Cards

VIDEO: Tips for Using Two-Tone Cardstock + 3 July 2025 Online Exclusives Card Ideas

VIDEO: Tips for Using Two-Tone Cardstock + 3 July 2025 Online Exclusives Card Ideas | www.juliedavison.com #stampinup


Stampin' Up! offers Two-Tone Cardstock is ALL colors! This 12" x 12" cardstock is a white-core paper with two different tones of the same color printed on each side. It's lighter than Stampin' Up!'s traditional cardstock making it ideal to layer and for scrapbooking. And for one more day (July 9-11, 2025), you can save 20% on all Two-Tone Cardstock! Shop Now
In this week's livestream, I shared tips for using the Two-Tone Cardstock for card-making. Try these techniques at home using any Two-Tone Cardstock!

The first card using he new Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. Because Two-Tone Cardstock has a white cord, you can emboss and then use sand paper to gently rub over the embossed image and reveal the white cardstock to highlight the image. Here's my finished card:

After my video, Claire mused about what it would look like if we colored the flower, so I gave her my extra sanded piece and she colored with Stampin' Blends and Stampin' Write Markers! I turned it into a card and added an extra layer of Very Vanilla behind the embossed cardstock. WOW!!!

I also used some sanding paper on the second card using the Prairie Grass cardstock. I started by crumpling the cardstock. Since it is lighter weight than regular cardstock, it's easier to crumple and add texture. I highlighted the texture by lightly sanding the cardstock again.

Prairie Grass Card Measurements:
  • 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Crumb Cake Cardstock
  • 2" x 4-1/2" Garden Green Two-Tone Cardstock
  • 2-1/2" x 3" Very Vanilla Cardstock
  • 1/2" x 3-1/2" Garden Green Two-Tone Cardstock (greeting)
  • 4" x 5-1/4" Very Vanilla Cardstock
Another fun technique with Two-Tone Cardstock is to tear and reveal the white core. I alternated between the light and dark sides of Basic Black Two-Tone Cardstock to create the layered background for this Halloween card. I love that it gives a "mummy" vibe -- perfect for our Spooky Sweet Designer Paper image!

Hybrid Embossing Folders have dies that fit right into the embossing folder so you can die cut and emboss at the same time! I love these dynamic, textured images so I had to get the Sunrise Sailing Bundle when it was released as an Online Exclusive product in May 2025. Here is the card that I created to highlight this new bundle for a recent Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie video.
