7 Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday Card Ideas + Fun Fold Video Tutorial

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! My favorite part of this suite is the dynamic designer paper with gold foil accents and laser cut pieces that make creating beautiful cards quick and easy!

 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.

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.

5 Stampin' Up! Playful Ghosts Halloween Cards + Bonus Project Ideas

5 Stampin' Up! Playful Ghosts Halloween Cards + Bonus Project Ideas | www.juliedavison.com #stampinup
I don't usually get Halloween stamp sets, but I couldn't resist these adorable images when the Playful Ghosts stamp set was first released as part of the July 2024 Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives. Since we didn't have any Halloween designer paper at time (we do now -- check it out!), I used the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder to create accent pieces in Basic Black cardstock that I incorpoated into my card designs. I used Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, and Highland Heather to create these cards.

I used Stampin' Blends to color the images on these cards and added a bit of Wink of Stella on the ghost for some sparkle.

I used a 2-3/8" Circle Punch to create the window on the front of this "Boo" card. The ghost is stamped on the the inside and also visible through the window.

This card was inspired by a card created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists (see it below). I simplified my version with three circles (two 2-3/8" and one 2"). I stamped the images in black ink and then used a white colored pencil to color each ghost.

Using measurements from a team Mystery Stamping event, I created this card for an episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie.
