Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. Today’s the DAY!!! The Designer Series Paper Sale has started. You’ve got those Bonus Days Coupons from July that you earned, so this is a great time to stock up on that DSP and save.

I played with the Online Exclusive Suite Collection today. My upline Jaimie is doing a new weekly creative challenge with us and I just happened to have purple flowers ready to go. She rolled dice to come up with 3 numbers that each have colors, elements and theme. This week was purple, embossing folder and thank you. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia Bundle and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. I also used the Unbounded Love Dies and the new Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper that will be available in the September – December 2024 Mini Catalog for my card today.

Emboss a Nests of Winter DSP card front using the Zinnia EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Berry Burst mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to a Petunia Pop card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Using the Simply Zinnia Dies cut 3 flowers each from Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Petunia Pop. Cut 2 leaves, 2 stems and 2 sprigs from Granny Apple Green. Cut 3 flower centers from Berry Burst and 3 detailed flower centers from Lemon Lolly. Cut 2 of the star flowers from Berry Burst. Cut 2 of the flower buds from Petunia Pop. Adhere the flowers together using Glue Dots and Liquid Glue. Adhere the flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the leaves under the flowers using Glue Dots. Adhere the flower bud to the stem using a Glue Dot and adhere it under the flowers using Liquid Glue. Adhere the sprigs using Liquid Glue and the star flowers to the sprigs using Liquid Glue.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the flower centers and the sentiment.

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Simply Zinnia stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. Emboss a panel of Nests of Winter DSP using the Zinnia EF and adhere it to the side of the panel. Adhere the stem and flower under the DSP panel. Adhered the Basic White panel to a Berry Burst mat then to the inside of the Petunia Pop card base.

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Adhere a strip of the Nests of Winter DSP to the envelope front. Emboss a panel of Nests of Winter DSP using the Zinnia EF and adhere it to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
