Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you are all starting to make plans for the weekend.
Today’s card isn’t really a fun fold, it’s more of a window card. I have a sneak peek for you today of products coming in the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-bration Brochure. I played with a new bundle that will be available starting January 7th and some Sale-a-bration DSP that you’ll be able to earn with a qualifying order starting January 7th. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.
I used the new Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Bundle along with the Sale-a-bration Toadstool Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, and the Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.
Adhere a panel of Toadstool Garden DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Granny Apple Green card base using Liquid Glue. Using the 2nd largest Stylish Shapes Dies, cut a square through all 3 layers (this may take a couple times through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine).
Using the largest and 2nd largest Stylish Shapes Dies, cut a panel of Basic Black to make a frame. Adhere the frame over the cut-out portion of the card front.
On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! terrific Toadstools Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the ends of the sentiment on an angle using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Sunny Days Iridescent Dots to the card front.
On a panel of Basic White, stamp the hill image from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. Stamp the triple stem image in Tuxedo Black Ink on the image. Stamp the triple mushroom image from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the stems. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the largest mushroom top from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink, stamp the medium mushroom top in Fresh Freesia Ink and stamp the stem image in Tuxedo Black Ink 2 times. Punch all the images out using the Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch. Adhere the stems to the mushrooms. Adhere the Poppy Parade mushroom using Glue Dots. Adhere the Fresh Freesia mushroom using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink below the hill. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base.
Finish your card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the mushroom stem images from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the mushroom images from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Poppy Parade and Pumpkin Pie Inks on the stems. Stamp the leaf image in Granny Apple Green Ink. Adhere a panel of Toadstool Garden DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value.
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

My January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.
I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog along with the upcoming January Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!! I’m placing my share order early on January 7th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the upcoming Online Exclusives? What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the January Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs! If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $130.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $38.00.
New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping
How my shares work: I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list. I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!
New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $9.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too! I’ll cut the 12″ X 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ X 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ X 6″ since they’re already precut.
New Ribbon Share – $11.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping
