Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How is your day going? It’s a beautiful warm day here in NJ. They said thunderstorms are coming, but so far, it’s been really nice. I’ve actually gone on a couple walks today already.

I have a sneak peek for you today of a new bundle coming on May 6th, that’s only 4 days away, YAY!! This bundle makes perfect masculine cards, but it’s great for anyone.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sunrise Sailing Bundle (available May 6th), along with the Thoughtful Journey 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and Beautiful Butterflies Dies for my card today.

Stamp the water image from the Stampin’ Up! Sunrise Sailing Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the small panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP. Emboss the small and larger panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP using the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder. Adhere the panels to the Misty Moonlight card front using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the outline sailboat image from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. Stamp the detailed sail image from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set in Pool Party Ink over the outlined sails. Stamp the detailed boat image in Crumb Cake Ink over the outlined sailboat image. Stamp the sentiment from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the side of the panel. Cut the sentiment out using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. Cut clouds using the Sunrise Sailing Dies. Cut the sailboat out last using the Sunrise Sailing Dies and Hybrid EF. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Opal Rounds Assortment.

Cut the birds and small sailboat from a panel of Night of Navy using the Sunrise Sailing Dies. Cut another small sailboat from a panel of Blackberry Bliss using the Sunrise Sailing Dies. Adhere the large sailboat over the embossed sailboat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the 2 small sailboats using Glue dots. Adhere the Clouds using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the birds to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Sunrise Sailing stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the water image from Sunrise Sailing stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the outline sailboat image in Night of Navy Ink on top of the water. Stamp the detailed sail image in Pool Party Ink over the sails. Stamp the detailed boat image over the detailed image in Crumb Cake Ink. Stamp the birds in Night of Navy Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and a Basic White mat. Adhere the layered panel to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the water, sailboat and bird images from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set on the envelope front the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card, and this is one of the bundles on your shopping list for May 6th. Happy Stamping!!

Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Catalog and Online Exclusives.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 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!

Designer Series Paper Online Zoom Class

Tara Carpenter and I are super excited about offering you this Free Online Zoom Class

Do you struggle with different ways to use all your Designer Series Paper? Tara and I are teaming up for a Zoom class to show you 6 different cards using just Designer Series Paper and a Sentiment. Of course, we’ll add embellishments and maybe ribbon or twine, but this class will primarily be using DSP. We have picked a pack of DSP with all the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and that’s what we will be focusing on. You can see the DSP starting on page 40 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. The class will be held on Sunday May 18th from 1pm-5pm ET. The best part is you can earn this class absolutely FREE. You will cut all the cardstock and DSP of your choice prior to the class so you are ready to go. We will NOT be cutting up cardstock or DSP the day of the event. You will choose the color cardstock and your favorite DSP to use from what you purchase. Please remember to order early so that you receive it on time to prep for the class.

The class requirements:

• Visit my Online Store on or after May 6th and purchase 1 pack of Florals in Bloom 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (165175), 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Cardstock Assortment Pack (165623) and 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls (165192)

Once you sign up you will receive:

• Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
• PDF with detailed directions and photos
• A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

When you Sign Up for the class, I will send you the complete PDF the week before the class so that you can cut up the color cardstock of your choice and the Designer Series Paper of your choice. Everyone’s card will be unique since you will pick your favorite designs of DSP and color cardstock.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: This class is FREE to customers who make the purchase through my Online Store.

If you are a Demonstrator and would like to attend the class and get the PDF, there will be a $20 charge that will be billed through PayPal. I know you would like to purchase the products yourself getting your discount but still would like to attend.

Class Sign up Deadline: Sunday May 11th at 5pm ET
