Softly Sophisticated fun-fold card with free project sheet to save & download

Here's the other fun fold card I shared on last week's Live video.  See the other one here. 

I chose to feature the new Softly Sophisticated bundle from our 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

Save

See this pretty bundle here. Both the stamp set & embossing folder are free with any $100 purchase through February. 

It might not look like a fun fold card, but the front main layers open instead of the entire card like this:

The colors include Bubble Bath, White and Lost Lagoon.  During my video I shared another one with Boho Blue instead.  It all depends on which sheet of the beautiful Flight & Airy designer paper you choose!  

Save

Did you wonder which dies I used on the designer paper and the greeting label?  They're the Thoughtful Expressions dies – one of my new favorites.  See them here. 

Save

See this pretty Flight & Airy designer paper here.  It's free with any $50 purchase through February; while supplies last.  Don't delay if you want it! I suspect this will be one of the firsts to sell out….

• More Specialty Paper Team swaps with measurements!

  March 5, 2026

  ---

  Here are a few more team swaps featuring Stampin’ Up!’s specialty papers:

  First up today is Tracey’s card who used the fractured technique.

  Save

  This technique starts with a large piece of designer paper. Then add the diagonal square layer. Next you simply start adding the thin strips of DSP around the edges of the square piece; trimming off the excess on the outer edges. So easy!

  She chose the Lovely & Beautiful DSP for the main piece and the strips are the Season of Elegance specialty DSP found in the Annual Catalog.
  The greeting is from Blessed Beginnings stamp set. I love the thin layer of gold on the outer edge!

  Measurements:

  • Olive card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
  • Gold layer 5 1/8″ X 3 7/8″
  • DSP is 3 3/4″ X 5″, inside DSP 5 1/4″ X 4″
  • thin DSP strips are 1/4″ thick.
  • White square is1 7/8″, inside is 5″ X 3 3/4″

  Save

  The inside greeting is from Prayers & Promises, the flower and leaves are from the Simply Beautiful stamp set.

  Next is a pretty card made by Marla who also used the Season of Elegance DSP.

  Save

  The main circle dies are from the brand new Springtime Scenes bundle which is currently out of stock. The greeting circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.
  Her colors are Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry & Basic Beige.

  Card base is 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. DSP is 4″ X 5 1/4″

  More swaps are coming tomorrow!
