Raise your hand if you like new product? Me, me, me! You’re in luck! Today, Stampin’ Up! releases a whole new slate of exciting Online Exclusives. As a reminder, these are paper crafting products listed online only. You won’t find these in any catalogs. Click here to check out the new offerings. While you’re there, keep scrolling to see all the items still available.
As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I received the opportunity to preorder the new goodies. The first stamp set on my order was the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set.
I love the font, and I love the fact that it includes the sentiments I use the most. For today’s card samples, I paired the stamp set with another Online Exclusive, the Flowering Zinnias 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. This double-sided, patterned paper sports such vibrant colors, I just had to use it. This Designer Series Paper is really the star of the show!

Lemon Lime Twist card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4

There’s a lot going on with today’s card. It’s a fun fold, specifically the Flip Front Fun Fold. And, it uses product you can earn free during Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration promotion: the Light & Airy Designer Series Paper (DSP). In addition, I paired it with the Everyday Details Bundle (available in Stampin’ UP!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog). I love how the bird nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set coordinates with the bird images from the Light & Airy DSP.
The Everyday Details Dies enticed me to purchase the bundle. I love the dotted borders on the dies.

If you’re looking for a unique way to package a gift, I have a great DIY paper crafting idea to share today. It’s a fun fold using a 12 x 12 sheet of patterned paper. It’s so easy! With a few quick creases, you can create a pocket to hold a variety of gifts. Add a few embellishments, and you’re good to go. It’s super cute and is sure to wow. Think of all of the possibilities. A great way to use some of the pretty paper you’ve been hoarding.
Fun Fold Gift Packaging
For today’s project, I used a variety of Stampin’ Up!’s products:
One 12 x 12 sheet of Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper. Select this gorgeous package of double-sided paper free during Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration sale with a $50 order before tax and shipping. Watch the video below to see how it’s folded.

I have a love, love relationship with Designer Series Paper. I love patterned paper, and I buy patterned paper. Then, I have to use the paper! A never-ending cycle. But it’s a fun problem to have!
With the launch of Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and SaleABration earlier this month, there’s a lot of new packages of Designer Series Paper with which to create. And, it’s all so pretty!
In today’s post, I share a super easy design that showcases larger pieces of the Designer Series Papers. I CASEd this design from page 63 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. (As an aside, CASE means Copy and Share Everything. In the stamping and creative world, we pride ourselves on sharing with others to offer inspiration.) Then, I “stepped” the card up, adding a few extra elements.
Once I got started creating these DIY birthday cards, I couldn’t stop experimenting with all of the new papers. Be sure to watch the video below to see all of the samples.
