Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

May 5, 2023

I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator.

Here's one of my recent projects:

Save

I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace.

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.

Save

I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge. It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed. Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel.

Save

Measurements are:

Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside) & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”

Save

All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog. If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5. If you order from me online first I'll send it free!

Sneak Peek of new products with a sketch for inspiration

October 27, 2025
On last week’s video I shared three cards featuring a new designer paper coming out in November. It’s called Brushed with Beauty.

Save

My colors include Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral. The stamp & dies bundle is called Words of Beauty and is part of the Brushed with Beauty suite. Demonstrators (& new team members) are able to order it early but you can see and order these new products on November 4th. They’re part of our Online Exclusives – new products released every other month.

This layout was inspired by a sketch. Every month my Flowerbug’s have a creative challenge involving sketches or a color combo. This will be our November sketch inspiration. Sketches are a fabulous start to creating a card or scrapbook page. And they’re just an inspiration. As you can see I did not use a circle but the die from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I also flipped the center rectangle on it’s side.

Save

The Words of Beauty bundle will be a great option for greeting phrases. It includes two large sets of dies with the words ‘just’ and ‘because’ and then plenty of words to create your greeting. Plus the die I used with the word ‘because’ below is one of three in the package.

You’ll notice the new packaging in the photo below. All new stamps & dies will be in these envelopes. Also all new stamps will be clear photopolymer and not red rubber.

Save

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here to print or download it. Did you know I have a category at the top of my blog where you can see lots of these? They’re great inspiration and include many fun fold cards.

Save

I hope you’ll try this sketch layout. It’s a fun one! When you do, please share your project in my FB group here. We love seeing what everyone makes!

Below is the video for this card and two more – all featuring new & upcoming Stampin’ Up! products!

Today I have the last set of swaps my Flowerbug’s created for our Christmas card swaps this month. They’re super talented!

First is a beautiful card made by Tracey who used a variety of designer paper blocks & strips to create a focal point for her greeting.

Save

Her designer paper is from the Online Exclusive pack called Elegant Pine Snowflakes. You can see it here. The leaf & berry die-cuts are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. One of my favorites!

Look at this gorgeous nativity scene Candy made for her swap! She used the A Child is Born set seen here.

Save

She used blends markers to color the scene on Crumb Cake card stock. The die-cut is from the Branching Out dies, the embossing folder is the Peaceful Greenery folder. Just stunning! Just look at her beautiful coloring.

Save

And lastly today is a pretty card made by Gwen who featured the incredible Traditions of Christmas suite seen here.

Save

This beautiful designer paper is currently unavailable until November. The stunning greeting & die set called Traditional Labels is a classic. See it here.
