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

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.

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”

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!

• Awesome fun fold swaps by the Flowerbug’s

  June 21, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two neat fun fold cards made by a few of my Flowerbug's for a recent card swap. Our them was to use a new 2025-27 In Color and make it a fun fold.  

  First is a card made by Joan who used the new Online Exclusive set 'It's Okay' seen here.  

  Save

  Her In Color is Strawberry Slush and she loves to color; as you can see!  It's a triple fold card; here's how the first panel opens:

  Here are her measurements:

  • card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • White opening panel 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4"
  • inside DSP – large right panel is 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 3 7/8" X 1", back of the front panel 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
  • front white panel 3" X 4 1/4"
  • Front Strawberry panel 3" X 4 1/4"
  • side strip to connect panels 3" X 1" scored in half

  Isn't her coloring gorgeous?  That Bokeh DSP is perfect here!

  She used the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.  It's a great 2-step set with lots of possibilities.  Her colors include Strawberry Slush, Black, Gray and White.  The Designer Paper is the Botanical Textures; also in our Online Store here.

  I shared two pretty cards featuring the Gallery Blooms bundle on last week's video.  The first was shared here.  And this is the second one:

  Save

  Both featured the bundle and two main colors – Secret Sea with Fresh Freesia.  The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials set seen here.  I'm so glad it didn't retire! 

  Get the measurements for this card on the free project sheet below. 

  Save

  There's also a third card (top left) that I'll share tomorrow.

  I stamped the flowers on the Fresh Freesia layer to create a background pattern and used the same for the inside of the card. The two sets of flowers are stamped in Secret Sea and die-cut with the coordinating dies. 

  Save

  This Gallery Blooms bundle comes with the stamp set and the coordinating dies and it's part of the Suite Sale of Buy one Get one 1/2 off.  See it here.
