Hope you’re having a great day! We awoke to a cool morning which is unusual during June in this area of Georgia. Though it’s going to be warm, the humidity is low so definitely a day to enjoy the outdoors. But first, I am sharing a beautiful greeting card featuring the Encircled in Nature Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This bundle is an Online Exclusive product so you will not find it in the catalog. It is one of the four cards from last month’s card class featuring all Online Exclusive Bundles.
If you haven’t purchased the Encircled in Nature Bundle, this month is the time to place your order. From now through June 30, Stampin’ Up! is offering an additional 10% discount on all stamp and die bundles. Be sure to take advantage of the savings!
In July, I’ll be using the Encircled in Nature bundle for one of my Christmas in July projects. Be sure to mark your calendars to follow me on YouTube for holiday project ideas.

Wow! Can you believe we’re approaching the end of May? It’s been an interesting month here in Georgia as for the past month, we have been serenaded by the cicadas. The 13 year and 17 year made a joint appearance. In addition to their loud noise, it wasn’t unusual to have one or more fly into you when outdoors. Fortunately this week it has quieted, so it seems the mating ritual has ended in Georgia. Were the cicadas present where you live? Now onto details about today’s card…
Today’s project features products from the Flowering Zinnia Suite Collection which includes the Simply Zinnia Bundle. The Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper and the 3D Zinnia Embossing Folder. These products are Online Exclusives meaning the products are available to view in the online Stampin’ Up! store and not in a catalog. For the May card classes (in person and kits to go classes), all Online Exclusive bundles were used.
This fun fold card design is unique. It looks like a regular card but when opened, there’s a side panel. And of course, the side panel allows for more embellishing!

Although the Sale-a-bration promotion ended in February and we’re closing out the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up!, I’m still showing “some love” to Sale-a-bration products! This vintage style card features the beautiful Detailed Dogwood Stamp Set which was one of the free Sale-a-bration products. This card is one of four cards from the April card class. There just weren’t enough months to use the products and hey, we’ve earned them so we must use them. Right?! Hopefully, you were able to earn this stamp set and will find inspiration with this card design.
If you want to recreate this card, you’ll find the material measurements and an assembly video below.
Cut Dimensions:
Pebbled Path Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ (score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base)
Bubble Bath Cardstock: cut 2 at 4″ x 5-1/4″; scrap for stamping desired sentiment
Basic White Cardstock: cut 2 at 3-3/4″ x 5″
Thick Basic White Cardstock: 3-1/4″ x 4″ for stamping dogwood (or use regular Basic White)
Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper: 3″ x 4″
ASSEMBLY VIDEO for the Detailed Dogwood Vintage Card
If you weren’t able to earn the stamp set, don’t fret – there are great floral options to use in place of the dogwood. Two great Online Exclusive options are the Simply Zinnia or Magnolia Mood Stamp Sets. So head off to your craft room and start creating! (LOL)

The new 2024-2025 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog is coming soon! On May 1, you’ll be able to purchase products such as this new Hearts & Hugs bundle. As a demonstrator, we’re offered the opportunity to purchase select products a month prior to their release. One such product is the adorable Hearts & Hugs Bundle. (Remember a bundle includes the stamp set and the coordinating dies – by purchasing as a bundle, you save 10%.) The different characters are cute but I especially like the sentiments in the stamp set. We all need a hug once in awhile and the bundle is a great way to send a hug via a greeting card.
For today’s card, I opted to use the pair of walruses from the Hearts & Hugs Bundle. Just look at the faces of the walruses! Doesn’t it make you feel warm & fuzzy?
Notice the pink? It’s one of the new 2024-2026 In-Colors, called Pretty In Pink and is also “coming soon.” The pink is a “true pink” and pairs with a wide variety of the Stampin’ Up! colors. Today, I’ve paired it with Pecan Pie.
Cut Dimensions
Pretty In Pink Cardstock: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ (score/fold at 4 1/4″ for card base)
Pecan Pie Cardstock: 5 1/4″ x 4″ (layering panel)
Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper: 5″ x 3 3/4″ (top layering panel)
Basic White Thick Cardstock: 4″ x 2 1/4″; 3″ x 3/4″
How-To Video
Be sure to add the Hearts & Hugs Bundle to your wish list! May 1st is approaching soon and you’ll want to create “paper hugs” to send to your friends. If you would like a copy of the 2024-2025 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog and currently do not have a demonstrator, just email me your request.
