In today’s post, I combine Stampin’ Up!’s Notes of Spring Photopolymer Stamp Set with the flip flap tri-fold fun fold. The Notes of Spring is Stampin’ Up!’s March Product of the Month. When your online cart total reaches $75 (before tax, shipping, and any redeemed rewards), you can add this set to your cart for just $5. One per person per month. Available while supplies last. Click here to shop.
I’ve used this fun fold with several other Stampin’ Up! bundles, so it’s fun to experiment with this new stamp set. I’ve paired it with the Nature Walk 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
Here’s what the inside looks like:
Click on the links below to see other samples of the flip flap tri-fold:
Pecan Pie cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score each side at 2 1/8. Fold each flap toward the middle and burnish well with your bone folder.
Pecan Pie cardstock pieces: 2 each measuring 4 x 1 5/8 and one piece measuring 4 x 2
Nature Walk 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper: 2 pieces each measuring 5 1/4 x 1 7/8
Nature Walkk 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper: 2 pieces measuring 3 7/8 x 1 1/2
Basic White measuring 3 7/8 x 1 7/8
Deer and sentiment (Notes of Spring) stamped in Pecan Pie, foliage in Old Olive
Note: I created the deer with the two-step stamping method. Stamp the deer outline in full-strength Pecan Pie. Ink the deer body stamp with Pecan Pie and “stamp off” on a piece of scrap paper. Then, align the body over the top of the outline and stamp.

I continue to play with Stampin’ Up!’s Nature’s Symphony Bundle. I’ve said this before, but when I get a new bundle or stamp set, I really enjoy stretching the limits. It’s fun to see all the different ways the paper crafting products can be used. And, I know that I generally just scratch the surface. (Find this bundle, and many others, in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2026 Mini Catalog.)
In other posts, I’ve shown the large die cut leaf as the focal point on many cards. Today, I show you what you can do with the piece of card stock left over from the die cutting. Use it as a stencil to create a different look on your handmade cards. Be sure to watch the video below to see a visual demonstration of how this actually works.

This week, I’ve been playing with Stampin’ Up!’s Nature’s Symphony Bundle. Find it in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2026 Mini Catalog. The images from the bundle and the muted tones of the Nature Walk 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper make this a perfect fit for creating masculine cards. But it’s also suited for a variety of occasions.
I love the simplicity and the clean and simple look of this card.
