I do love embossing folders and I have a sneak peek at one that is coming out on July 1st – the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder #166145.
I have two cards to share with you using the same products but different colors of cardstock. I used the stamp set, With You in Mind (this stamp set is an Online Exclusive but it can also be found on page 37 in the new Annual Catalog), Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, 2-3/8″ Circle Punch (this product can be found in Online Exclusives) and 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls.
If the links don’t work, please try again! Please double check the prices in my Supply List.
I started with a piece of Peach Pie cardstock (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List). I then embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (available July 1, 2025) using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered it to the Peach Pie cardstock.
I cut another piece of Peach Pie cardstock for the flap and scored it. I added a strong adhesive to the back (I used Tear & Tape) and adhered it to the card front (you can also used Stampin’ Seal+).
I stamped the sentiment in Summer Splash ink onto Basic White cardstock. I punched it out with the 2-3/8 Circle Punch (I didn’t use the Stylish Shapes Dies, because the sentiment wouldn’t fit). I then cut a Summer Splash circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered the sentiment to the front. On the back of the Summer Splash circle, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side only and adhered it to the flap.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and three Peach Pie embellishments to the front of the card.
This version uses Summer Splash cardstock and Summer Splash embellishments. I also used a Peach Pie for the circle that sits under the sentiment.

I made my card using the Happy Hibiscus Bundle (which I didn’t play with until yesterday – why did it take me so long?) and 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls. This bundle is an Online Exclusive and it comes with a stamp set and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder which comes with eleven dies.
If the links don’t work for you, please try them again!
I started with a piece of Berry Burst cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and I then adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut one hibiscus in Berry Burst cardstock and the other in Petunia Pop cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and the die that cuts three flowers out (I saved the others for another project).
If you haven’t worked with Hybrid Embossing Folders yet, you need to put the die where the Stampin’ Up! emblem is (you can see the picture below). The die will fit into the groove, then put your paper in and it will cut & emboss your flowers!
I also cut four leaves out of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the leaf die that comes with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder.
I decided where I wanted to put the leaves and took away the flowers and then adhered the leaves down. I adhered the Petunia Pop hibiscus to the front of the card and popped the Berry Burst hibiscus with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Berry Burst ink and the Happy Hibiscus stamp set and then cut it out using one of the dies that comes with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of my card.
To complete my card I added three 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls in Petunia Pop around the front of the card, Then, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card was made using the Unbounded Love Bundle, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, and 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls. The Unbounded Love Bundle is an Online Exclusive. If you get a page that says “Out With the Old, In With the New”, please click the link again.
Please see the message after the Measurements I provide for you. It addresses the Back in Stock Notifications.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (which is now an Online Exclusive). Stampin’ Up! was going to discontinue Basic White Thick cardstock but they didn’t because Stampin’ Up! demonstrators said it was a staple of cardmaking. Stampin’ Up! sends the catalog to the printer way in advance and they thought they weren’t bringing it back so that’s why it is an Online Exclusive. Hopefully it will be in the next Annual Catalog. Time will tell.
Back to my card. I cut a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock and adhered it to the front of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then set it aside.
I cut a piece of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and then cut it into 1″ strips. Then, I adhered them to the Basic White cardstock that I set aside.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Unbounded Love Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight ink. Next, I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I completed my card by adding three 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls in Petunia Pop to the center of the Misty Moonlight flowers.
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
Measurements

- Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper: 3″ x 4-1/2″ then cut into (3) 1″ strips
- Basic White cardstock: 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″
- Basic White cardstock (sentiment): approximately 2-1/2″ x 1-3/4″
Back in Stock Notifications
Unfortunately, the notification service experienced a disruption from May 6 to May 11. These products listed below are in stock as of yesterday. As a result, back in stock emails were not sent for the following items:
- Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder
- Beautiful Butterflies Bundle
- Mixed Florals Dies

This issue was resolved on May 12. However, back in stock emails that should have been sent during the impacted timeframe will not send for items listed above. All messages moving forward should function properly.
Stampin’ Up! regrets that the emails did not go out but they are actively seeking ways to prevent similar issued moving forward.
