Well! Good FriYAY morning from sunny SoCal! Got in safely yesterday – met up with Amy and Karen for an Uber ride from the airport to the hotel – then…got checked in at OnStage! After our first session – we had our first dinner together – and my brother was able to join us! Yeah! Great start to the weekend!
Today’s card is my version of a card that my teammate Judi Hartbarger crafted and demonstrated to us at our recent Team Meeting – it’s a fun fold so…you know I needed to give it a go! It’s called a Front Pocket Fold and this one uses the beautiful Delicate Whispers bundle (available 23 March) and the coordinating Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP (available 27 April). Take a look-see:
And – the cool thing is that the front pocket is “real” so…you can use it for a gift card. Or…chocolate!
I started by scoring a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock at 4 1/4″ on the long side. Then – measuring 2 3/4″ from one short side – I scored two diagonal lines to the middle of the same short side. You ought to be able to figure that out from the diagram below – or…I made you a video on how to make this card – and you can check it out down below! 😎
I folded both corners in – making a point (and the pocket!).
Next, I took a 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP and used my Paper Trimmer to cut it into two large triangles. I set one aside for now.
Using Liquid Glue – on just the edges of the folded up card base corners – I adhered one large triangle to the pocket. I made sure to not get any adhesive on the card base itself so that I didn’t stick my pocket closed. The DSP is what is holding the cardstock together and making the pocket. Again – check the video!
I used the Paper Trimmer again to cut the remaining DSP triangle into two smaller triangles.
On a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a Delicate Whispers sentiment in Secret Sea Ink. Over the top, I stamped the Delicate Whispers grass image in stamped-off-once Crumb Cake. Then I adhered my two smaller triangles in the corners with Liquid Glue.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the card base.
Now to the front. Above the pocket, I used Liquid Glue to adhere a 1 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP to the card base.
I used the Delicate Whispers dies to cut out some foliage (okay – kind of a bunch of foliage!):
– One of each of the large leaf boughs from Mossy Meadow cardstock
– A couple of skinny “fronds” from Mossy Meadow cardstock
– Five small boughs from Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper
– Five small berries from Secret Sea cardstock
– Seven blue flower/leaf combinations from the Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP
– Five small Crumb Cake flowers from the Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP
Starting with the two large leaf boughs – I adhered foliage to the top of the pocket.
I used Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the die cut flower/leaf combos from the Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP.
Then – using Liquid Glue – I went to town with the Mossy Meadow “fronds”, Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper boughs and Secret Sea small bough – tucking them in here and there and adhering them with Liquid Glue (again being sure to not stick my pocket closed!).
On another piece of the Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP, I stamped the Delicate Whispers sentiment in Secret Sea ink. Then I cut it out with the small Stylish Shapes banner die.
I adhered the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some Secret Sea 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls – and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Delicate Whispers grasses stamped twice-without-reinking in Crumb Cake on the front…
…and more of the Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Once again (yes, I realized that I used the exact same bundle and DSP TWO days in a row – sorry!) this beautiful new Delicate Whispers bundle (available 23 March) and Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP (available 27 April) really stepped up to the plate. Or…the pocket! This is such a cool fun fold – thanks, Judi! – and it’s really easy enough to make that I hope you’ll try it! And since you can use it to give a gift card or a treat (or two!) – I know you’ll think of this fold for birthdays and Christmas, too! 🙂
I hope you like! 🙂
If you’d like to recreate this card, all the products and card cuts you’ll need are down below! And as mentioned above, I recorded a video on how to make it that went live yesterday as my Thursday After Lunch Bunch NOT-so-Live YouTube video. If you’d like to see it – for the first time or again – here ’tis!
I’ve also created a printable PDF with written instructions and a list of the products used to create this project. You can download, print and/or save it by clicking this image:

TAKE A LOOK IN MY RETIRED SHOP!
Last week, Stampin’ UP! Updated the Last Chance Store and the Discontinued List. So…my Retired Shop got a big influx of new (used!) goodies!
Here’s the deets:
– Most of the items are gently used, but are in very good condition. Unless otherwise noted in the listing, packs of Designer Series Paper are “full” packs.
– All stamp sets are cling mount or photopolymer.
– Shipping is $8 per order no matter how much you purchase!
– The items are first come, first served so try to go through the checkout process as quickly as possible so that you don’t miss out on any of the items that you want (the store doesn’t have a way to “hold” things in your cart for you). If you notice that an item is no longer available when you go through the checkout process, that means that someone else has purchased it and it’s sold out.
– I can only ship to addresses in the US (or to military APO addresses) and USPS tracking will be included
– Items were added to the “Out of Catalog” and “Kits” categories – but be sure to check the other categories, too, if you haven’t in a while!
Happy Shopping!
Stampin’ Up! has some exciting changes coming in the new catalog!
Price Increases Coming
Stampin’ Up! is committed to providing high-quality paper crafting products and a great overall experience—without compromising the quality that Stampin’ Up! is known for. At the same time, they carefully consider costs and other important factors. To do this, they regularly review our pricing based on the cost of doing business, global exchange rates, rising supplier costs, and market comparisons.
Due to higher production costs, please expect price increases in the following product categories:
– Select Stampin’ Cut & Emboss product
– Heat Tool
– Cutting & Scoring Blades Multipacks
– Select Coloring Tools
– Storage
– Select Adhesives
– Select Paper products including Envelopes, Basic White Notecards & Envelopes, and Masking Paper
– Designer Series Paper
– Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads and Refills
– Stampin’ Blends
– Select Embellishments, Twines, and Linen Thread
– In addition, Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will also see an upcoming price increase.
We not been given details yet on the specific price increases for the catalog items, we’ll see what we see when we get our hands on the new catalog later this month. If you’ve been considering purchasing anything on the list, be sure to order before the current catalog ends to get the lower pricing. 😎
Changes to the Upcoming Catalog Timelines
Starting in May, Stampin’ Up! is refreshing the way they share products in print, with a new, streamlined catalog strategy designed to make shopping from their catalogs easier and more intuitive. Instead of an annual catalog and multiple minis, they are moving to three beautifully designed catalogs per year—each one complete, current, and easy to use on its own. No more overlapping catalogs!
Each catalog will introduce new products alongside a selection of customer-favorite staples (core products)—such as stamps, ink, paper, tools, and adhesives—bringing the feel of a mini catalog and an annual catalog together in one place. This balanced approach creates an easy-to-shop print experience, all within a catalog released every four months:
– January–April
– May–August
– September–December
These seasonal catalogs are designed to put products front and center, making it easy for you to browse, discover, and shop by product category.
I’ll be getting to see the new May-August 2026 Catalog SOON (like…next week when I attend OnStage out in California) and I can’t wait to see the new catalogs moving forward. I think this new streamlined approach is going to be a really good thing!
New Magnetic Ink Pads – and a peek at the new 2026-2028 In Colors!
Beginning in May 2026, Stampin’ Up! will introduce new felt ink pads in a magnetic, stackable case design.
– In 2026, only the new In Colors will be offered in the new magnetic felt pads.
– In 2027, all ink colors will transition to the new magnetic felt pad as part of a planned color revamp, and the current pad style will be phased out.
Importantly, existing ink pads will remain usable throughout this transition—there is no immediate need to replace what you already own. Please be aware, however, that once the transition takes place, the old ink pad design will only be available while supplies last.
The photo above is an early peek at the new 2026-2028 In Colors! And they look beautiful!! The NEW Magnetic Ink Pads in the NEW 2026-2028 In Colors will be available to order 5 May 2026!
Check out the new In Colors!
– Crisp Cantaloupe
– Barely Blush
– Golden Glow
– Peaceful Pine
– Hydrangea Hue
Aren’t they so pretty?! I’m looking forward to getting to preorder these – SOON! – so I can show them to you “in person”!!
