Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Fun Fold Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle is from the new Mini Catalog is a whimsical and fun mushroom themed stamp set that coordinates with the Sale-A-Bration Toadstool Gardens designer series paper. Sale-A-Bration is ending soon, so I decided to make this fun-fold hello card with these products. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered panels of Toadstool Gardens designer series paper to Pebbled Path mats before adhering them to the front and end sections of a Melon Mambo card base. I adhered striped patterns of the DSP to the middle sections (see picture below). I used the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Gray Granite panel of the DSP and adhered it to the center panel with liquid glue.

I used the leaf sprigs from the Delicate Forest dies to cut a granny Apple Green panel and adhered them to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the mushroom caps from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle using Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie inks on Basic White and punched them out with the Terrific Toadstools punch. I stamped the mushroom stems using Gray Granite ink on Basic White and fussy cut them with my paper snips. I adhered the stems to the caps with liquid glue and popped them on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Versamark ink on Pebbled Path card stock. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder, shook off the excess and heated it with my heat tool. I cut it out with the short label die from the Delicate Forest dies. I folded a length of Peach Pie ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label with glue dots and popped the label on the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with Melon Mambo glossy dots.

The inside panel is on the back of the front center panel and I stamped the mushroom, stems and leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Melon Mambo, Gray Granite and Granny Apple Green inks on Basic White. I adhered the panel to the card and adhered panels of the striped Toadstool Gardens DSP to each of the back panels.

The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle has different style mushroom tops and stems for you to mix and match to create your own mushrooms. And there are cute little ladybugs that you can stamp too! The punch punches out the mushrooms without the white border, so it’s pretty easy to use. This is the last week to get the Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for FREE as a Sale-A-Bration item. It is a bright and colorful set of papers that are perfect for Spring. This is part of the reason I like this fun fold card so much, it shows off the pretty DSP!

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Hello Card

Good Morning! Today is the big day – the premiere of the new Stampin’ Up! January – April Mini Catalog! It is also the start of Sale-A-Bration and the release of a new set of Online Exclusives and a new Scrapbooking Brochure!

To celebrate, I made this hello card with the cute new Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle from the new mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I made my Granny Apple Green card base by scoring a 4-1/4″ x 11″ panel and cutting off half of the front flap (cut at 2-3/4″). I covered the card base with Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper panels, the leafy panel for the small front panel, two garden panels for the short front flap and the stripe panel for the inside. I stamped the ground from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink twice on Basic White and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered them to bottom of the front panel with liquid glue.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools punch to punch three mushroom caps from strips of Toadstool Gardens DSP. I used a sponge dauber to apply Melon Mambo ink to the edge of the punched caps to make them stand out against the DSP. I used a Gray Granite strip of the DSP to punch mushroom stems and fussy cut one with my paper snips so that it is larger. I used a sponge dauber to apply Gray Granite ink to the outsides.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies using a two step method so it was long enough. I adhered the label to the panel with glue dots and adhered the toadstool stems with liquid glue. I popped the toadstool caps on with dimensionals and finished with three green Tinsel Gems. I adhered the panel to the short front flap with liquid glue applied to the left side of the panel.

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little bug next to it using Gray Granite ink. I stamped the wings on Basic White using Real Red ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered the wings with liquid glue and adhered the panel to the inside with Stampin’ Seal so that it’s covered by the decorated panel.

The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle is a fun bundle and makes cheerful cards when used with the Toadstool Gardens Sale-A-Bration DSP. They’re both perfect for Springtime cards!

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle is a fun new stamp and punch bundle from the upcoming January-April 2025 Mini Catalog. It’s full of cute mushrooms and sentiments and there’s a coordinating pack of designer series paper that you can get for FREE with a $60 order during Sale-A-Bration! Both the new Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration will start on January 7, 2025. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Sale-A-Bration Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper (available Jan 7, 2025) to a Pebbled Path mat. I adhered another strip of the DSP to another mat and adhered them both to the front background panel with liquid glue. I adhered the background panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the ground from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink on Basic White. I stamped the triple stem twice using Gray Granite ink and the small mushroom caps using Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped the ladybug using Pebbled Path ink and the sentiment in the top corner using Gray Granite ink. I cut the stamped scene with the largest square from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to Pebbled Path and Granny Apple Green mats. I adhered the panel to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the mushroom caps from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie inks and punched them out with the coordinating punch. I stamped the large stem using Gray Granite ink on Basic White and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I stamped the smallest cap using Real Red ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips and adhered it to the ladybug with liquid glue. I punched the small stem using Gray Granite card stock and trimmed the top with my paper snips. I adhered the stems to the mushroom caps with liquid glue and popped them on the card with dimensionals. I finished with small Melon Mambo adhesive sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small mushrooms and stems from the Stampin’ Up!
Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Gray Granite and Fresh Freesia inks on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

In this closeup, you can see that the punch doesn’t leave a white border around the mushroom caps. It makes it so easy to line up – aren’t they so cute! So my fussy cutting was on the inside edge of the stamped images to get a similar look – again, it makes fussy cutting pretty easy. Here is the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle – the stamp set and punch:

Item 164880 – Happy Hibiscus Bundle

This bundle will be available when the new Mini Catalog opens next month and promises to be great fun! And Sale-A-Bration will also start on January 7, 2025 and run through February 28, 2025. That’s when you’ll be able to get the pretty Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for FREE with a $60 order.

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The new January – April 2025 Mini Catalog is coming out on January 7, 2025 and I’ve got a sneak peek of a bun new bundle – the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle. Sale-A-Bration will also start on January 7, and there’s a 6″ x 6″ designer series paper pack called Toadstool Gardens that coordinates with the new bundle. I’ve used both of them for today’s sneak peek card. You can find the currently avaliable supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered a strip of Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ DSP to the side of a sweet garden background panel of the DSP with liquid glue and adhered them both to the front of a Pumpkin Pie card base. On a Basic White panel, I stamped the ground from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink. I used a Blending Brush to apply Pool Party ink to the sky.

I stamped the little mushrooms to the panel using Smoky Slate, Basic Beige, Peach Pie and Fresh Freesia inks and cut it out using a circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I stamped the large mushroom cap using Real Red ink on Basic Beige and punched it out using the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools punch. I punched the stem from Basic Beige and adhered them together with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Melon Mambo ink on Basic White and cut it out with a die from the Unbounded Love dies. I popped the die cut circle on the card with dimensionals and adhered the label with dimensionals and a glue dot. I adhered the large mushroom with dimensionals and finished the card with shiny sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Garden Green ink. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Here is the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle with all the fun mushroom stamps and cute sentiments. Note that the punch cuts inside the stamped images, so that you won’t have white borders.

Isn’t it such a whimsical, fun set? The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle will be available next month when the January-April 2025 catalog goes live. It will be perfect for crafting fun on cold January Winter days!
