Summer Fun Blog Hop

Welcome to the Team Stamp It Groups Summer Fun Theme Blog Hop!

Whether you hopped onto my blog from one of my teammates or started with my blog, I'm awfully glad you "hopped" by.

Today I'm sharing a stunning Arrow Fun Fold anniversary card that practically made itself — because when your paper is this beautiful, it does most of the work for you!

I started with a Secret Sea cardstock card base, then layered on a Gorgeous Grape cardstock panel, which creates a rich, jewel-toned frame around the design. The top panels are cut from the breathtaking Violet Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is absolutely gorgeous — deep navy with lush violet, lavender, and white botanicals. The Violet Dreams Suite Collection will be available for purchase on July 1, 2026.

For the sentiment, I stamped "happy anniversary" from the retired So In Love stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink onto a label from the Classic Labels Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. To add a little extra dimension and charm, I fussy cut some of the delicate violet blooms right from the Violet Dreams Specialty DSP and popped them onto the sentiment label using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, giving it a sweet layered, garden-fresh look. A few Adhesive-Backed Blooms (available July 1, 2026) scattered across the panels add just the right finishing touch.

Inside the card, the Arrow Fun Fold creates the same striking triangular design, this time framing a clean white panel stamped with the beautiful sentiment from the Phrases & Frames stamp set, inked in Gorgeous Grape: "Anniversaries are for celebrating the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow." Such a meaningful message for such a special occasion.

This card is truly one of those designs that looks incredibly impressive but comes together beautifully. It would be perfect for any anniversary, and honestly, the Violet Dreams DSP is so stunning it would shine on any occasion!

An Arrow Fun Fold Birthday Card with Berry Botanicals Vellum

Today I'm sharing a fun fold card that puts a gorgeous specialty paper front and center! This Arrow Fun Fold design creates such a dynamic shape, and it was the perfect way to showcase the Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I started with a Golden Glow cardstock card base, which gives such a warm, sunny frame to the design. For the fun fold mechanism, I layered the angled triangular Soft Sea Foam panels underneath, then added the panels cut from the Berry Botanicals Vellum DSP. The translucent quality of the vellum lets the rich blues, reds, and golds of the floral pattern really glow, especially with the Soft Sea Foam peeking through underneath.

For the focal sentiment, I die cut a detailed circle from Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the Spotlight on Nature dies and stamped "Happy Birthday" in Secret Sea ink from the Loveliest Tree stamp set. To tie everything together, I fussy cut a couple of the purple floral blooms directly from the Berry Botanicals Vellum paper and tucked them on top of the sentiment label, giving it a layered, dimensional feel. A few of the 2026-2028 In-Color Dots in Crisp Cantaloupe were scattered across the panels for little pops of color and shine.

Opening up the card, I kept the inside simple and elegant. I stamped the moths from the Fern & Flora stamp set in the upper corners, and added the sentiment "To a marvelous person on their birthday!" from the Sending Salutations stamp set, stamped on Basic White cardstock in Secret Sea ink to coordinate with the front.

I love how the angular fun fold design adds so much visual interest while still letting that beautiful specialty paper be the star of the show. This card would be perfect for any birthday, especially for someone who loves a garden-fresh floral look!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
