Hello! Thanks for visiting today. I’m still sharing Christmas in July card making ideas. I hope to inspire you to begin making some cards now, or at least to start thinking about it!
Today’s card uses the Merriest Trees stamp set and the Merriest Trees Dies, now available in Stampin’ Up!’s 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. Find them on page 78. The design is a z fold and is so easy to create. I love how it works so well with the large pine tree in the set and coordinating dies.

Each month, I host a virtual team meeting for all levels of my Stampin’ Up! team of Kim’s Paper Krafters. We celebrate birthdays and acknowledge Stampin’ Up! anniversaries, promotions, and achievements; catch up on Stampin’ Up! news and promotions; and create a mystery stamping project.
Today, I’m sharing our April mystery card. It’s called the Book Binding Z Fold, and it’s something I found on YouTube and Pinterest. It uses Stampin’ Up!’s Simply Zinnia stamp set and the Flowering Zinnias 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. These products are part of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives, a large selection of products found only on the online store. Visit the store often to see what’s there.

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.
