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.

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”

Nature Walk card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option. Both include the exclusive video!

February 10, 2026

I had to feature the Nature Walk designer paper for a card kit & tutorial. It’s just gorgeous with deep, rich prints.

Save

I paired it with the new Covered in Flowers Accents from the Spring catalog, the retiring butterflies and White Baker’s Twine. See those pretty floral & botanical die-cuts on the cards? That’s the Flower Accents! They come in a large single sheet of thick pre-cut pieces. They’re white but can be colored or textured. They were so fun to use on these cards!

3 of the 5 designs are fun fold layouts. The kit & tutorial include 2 of each. You can choose from the PDF tutorial for $16 or the pre-cut card kit which includes up to $20 in Stampin’ Up! product for just $31.

Everything is cut for you in this kit except for your new 1/2 package of the designer paper. You will need your own greeting images, inks, adhesives and paper trimmer.

Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video

February 9, 2026
We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

Save

I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

Save

I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

Save

This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

More details:
- I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
- We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
- The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
- The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.
