This card uses the new Nothing's Better Than
Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!
This set includes cookies, candies, cocktails and coffee. It's a fun set to play with and this is a fun new layout for me. This fun pop up card is easy to make and has a WOW to it when given away. It lends itself to Designer Series Papers and Embossing Folders in many ways.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Basic Black card base - (score @ 5 1/2). You could use just a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card for your base
- Real Red -Using the 3rd largest die from the stitched Rectangle Dies center and do a partial cut. Place the top plate so that it does not cut the bottom portion of the die. Score across where the bottom edge would have cut using the Scoring tool or a Paper Trimmer. Only score from cut line to cut line. Not all the way across the cardstock. On the flap score at 1/4" and 2 1/8" from the bottom of the flap.
- If you want to emboss now is the time. I used the Brick Wall Embossing folder
- If you decide to use the DSP, adhere it to the 5 1/4 x 4 very well so that it will act as one piece. Then do the cutting and scoring
- Whisper White the mechanism - 4 3/4 x 3 1/4 attach this to the back of the 1/4" edge of the flap using Tear N Tape. Center it on the flap leaving a small edge on each side
- Using a 1" hole punch, punch about 1/3 of the way into the punch onto the top of Real Red layer to make a finger hole
- Punch 1" circle, fold in half and put where the white shows where you punched the hole on the Real Red layer. Punch a hole with a 1/4" hole punch for a ribbon
- Put Foam Adhesive Strips on the two sides and the bottom on the back of the Real Red. Leave room for the mechanism to slide easily. Peel and attach to the card base
- Stamp a greeting on one of the 2 3/4 x 4 Whisper White. This will leave a little edge of the card base color around the paper. Insert in the card mechanism when it is open. When the pull is pulled this will show.
- On the second 2 3/4 x 4 Whisper White create the front of your card. Emboss with Subtle Embossing Folder.
- Stamp the cookies with Soft Suede and fill them with the coordinating stamp and Crumb Cake stamped off
- Cut the scalloped edge with the die from Prized Posy on the stripped DSP. Score at 1/4 on the top and attach the top to the embossed Whisper White. Attach your cookies and finish off with the rhinestones
- Adhere it to the bottom section ONLY of the fold mechanism DO NOT ATTACH IT TO THE 1/4" AT THE BOTTOM
- Put a ribbon or cord through the hole at the top to help the pulling mechanism.
- Inside Whisper White - 5 1/4 x 4 and a 1/2 strip of the DSP used on the front

This elegant pop up Z fold card combines the timeless beauty of Basic White with soft layers of Crisp Cantaloupe for a fresh and inviting design. Many of our favorite card layouts begin with some form of a Z fold, and this fun interactive style is always a showstopper. I used the beautiful Fragrant Layers Bundle from Stampin' Up! along with the gorgeous Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper to create soft floral layers and elegant detail throughout the card. The flowers were accented with the sparkling 2026–2028 In Color Dots for the centers, while the adorable 2026–2028 In Color Butterflies add the perfect finishing touch. A delicate bow tied with Crisp Cantaloupe Bordered Ribbon completes this charming project with just the right amount of texture and sweetness.
I created this card using one of the more challenging patterns from the Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper, and I love how it pushed me to think a little more creatively with my design. The detailed background really makes a statement, so I paired it with a simple, elegant greeting from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set to keep the focus balanced. To add a bit of texture and shine, I included Dew Drops embellishments, which catch the light beautifully. The finishing touch is a Mossy Meadow and gold bow, bringing in a rich, coordinated look that ties everything together perfectly while adding just the right amount of sophistication.

The layered elements and coordinating designs from the kit make it easy to craft a card that feels both sophisticated and heartfelt, perfect for a variety of occasions.

I had so much fun creating this playful fun fold card using the Sweet Bugs Bundle from Stampin’ Up!
