The foundation of today’s birthday card is the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (DSP), new in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and available NOW. The colors (Blackberry Bliss, Boho Blue, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat) and designs are gorgeous and do the creative “heavy lifting” for a quick but impactful card.
WHAT I LOVE! I’m also highlighting the Unbounded Love bundle (stamp set and dies), one of my favorite bundles of the new annual catalog (and available now). The chic font and variety of sentiments in the Unbounded Love stamp set make it a “must have.” The dies nest, layer, frame and much more. Save 10% when you purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle.

Begin by burnishing the fold of the Basic Beige card base with a Bone Folder.
Adhere the Mossy Meadow layer to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Layer and adhere the Designer Series Paper to the Petunia Pop card stock together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Double wrap with Linen Thread and secure with a bow.
Use a Mini Misti to stamp the sentiment (Unbounded Love Stamp Set) in Mossy Meadow Classic Ink onto the Basic Beige layer. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW video: The Magic of the Mini MISTI for a quick demonstration here.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) to crop the following with the Unbounded Love dies:
- Sentiment – Coordinating Label Die
- Mossy Meadow – Coordinating Stitched Label Die
Adhere the die-cuts together and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with 2 Petunia Pop In Color Resin Dots.
PERFECT POLISH! Adhere the 5 3/4 x 2 1/2 Designer Series Paper to the Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. IMPORTANT: Add glue to the flap first, not the Designer Series Paper. Center and line up the Elegant Border edge die, tape to secure (Post-It Tape) and crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard). Watch my Stampin’ Pretty WOW Video here.
