True confession! I did not order this bundle when it became available. But then I started seeing such gorgeous cards on Pinterest using this set, so, I had to have it! I am SO GLAD I bought it because it is so versatile.

Here is a card that is good for men or anyone who loves mountains and forests.

Perennial Lavender Suite

The Perennial Lavender Suite in the 2024 January-April Mini Catalog is just gorgeous! I made this card with the lovely DSP, along with Highland Heather and Lost Lagoon card stocks. The sentiment and die are also from the suite. I love the postage stamp edge of the die, and the set comes with SO MANY dies. It is great for creating layers and adding sentiments. (The ribbon and dots are retired.)

I love that this bundle includes a really pretty Mother’s Day sentiment, too. I made this Mother’s Day card using the Perennial Lavender stamp set and dies.

I recently demonstrated how to make this card on Facebook Live. Here is the video!

Fresh As A Daisy Suite Collection – Summer Flowers

Do you want to brighten someone’s day this summer? Or maybe you need to make an apology or thank someone for making your day. This suite has you covered! Fresh As A Daisy (page 110 in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog) has sentiments for friendship, apologizing, thankfulness, and birthday wishes. The stamps are beautiful, or you can use the dies to build your flowers. That is what I did for these cards.

Do you want to make these cards? Here are the supplies I used:

  • Crushed Curry card base – 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ folded at 4-1/4″ to make an A2 card
  • Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder – basic white cardstock 5-1/4″ x 4″
  • Fresh As A Daisy DSP – 4″ x 3″
  • Stylish Shapes square die (2nd largest) – Lemon Lolly cardstock
  • Cheerful Daisies bundle – cut the daisy mat and daisy in basic white cardstock
  • Crushed Curry stamp pad
  • Small Blending Brush – use this with the crushed curry stamp pad and shade the inner part of the daisy
  • Stamp the large flower center in crushed curry on the daisy mat
  • Garden Green cardstock – cut two sets of flowers using the largest die
  • Black stamp pad for the sentiment
  • Sentiment die in the Cheerful Daisies dies
  • Adhesive Backed Solid Gems

Irresistible Blooms Thank You Card

This is such a pretty suite of products; I just love the colors! This particular card uses the dies to cut the flowers and leaves from the DSP. There are stamps to make these as well, but I love how easy it is to just cut them out of the DSP! I used Petal Pink cardstock for the card base and circular embellishment. This is also created using one of the dies. I used Mint Macaron for the panel that is slanted. The sentiment is from the retiring Flowering Tulips set. A few self-adhesive pearls complete the look. (There are matching color dots in the suite, but I forgot I had them until I had already adhered the pearls!!) Just a reminder–these products are only available as an online exclusive on the Stampin’ Up! website.

Delightful Double Z-Fold Floral Card

I combined several products to create this beautiful spring card. The flower, from the Art Gallery stamp set, is stamped in Fresh Freesia and Mint Macaron, then die cut. The sentiment is from the Flowering Tulips stamp set, and the DSP is from the Fancy Flora suite. The fresh freesia dots are from the Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems. I love how they look together on the Daffodil Delight card base!

I love impressionist paintings, and this paper reminds me of that style. Isn’t is gorgeous?!? I love it so much. I am looking forward to making many more beautiful cards with this paper!

Here is the video that shows how to make this fun fold card!

Fun Fold Floral Birthday Card

This card displays beautifully with all the folds and layers. Here are the measurements:

Colored Cardstock: 4-1/4 x 10-1/2 – score at 1/2, 1-3/4, 3-3/4, and 5 inches

Colored Cardstock: 3×5 score at 1/2 and 1-3/4 inches

DSP: 4 x 4 and 4 x 1-3/4 (I used paper from the Design A Daydream Host Collection.)

White: 2-3/4 x 3 (card front) and 4 x 5-1/4 inches (card back)

I used the Art Gallery stamp set for the flowers and sentiment. The die to cut the sentiment is from the Floral Gallery dies.

Last (but not least!) is the bling! The purple dot if from the Pastel Pearls embellishments. It is amazing how much a dot or two adds to the overall look and balance of a card!

It folds flat to fit in a standard A2 envelope.

Happy crafting!!
